bage does not have the same exact composition as
the sort found in any other plant or animal. And
in any animal the composition of tissues varies. The
exact composition of cell differs from that
of muscle cell. But they all so much alike that
they justify the biologists procedure of classifying
them all variations of the basic substance.
The chemicals which comprise protoplasm-and
therefore the human body-are few in number. They

namely, carbon hydrogen, oxygen, sulphur, phos-
phorus, chlorine, sodium, potassium calcium mag
nesium, and slight traces of iron, manganese iodine

These chemical elements united into number
of compounds which in their turn make up the va
rious kinds Of protoplasm Since carbon is the
foundation Of these compounds they known as

Grief varieties which known proteins fats and
carbohydrates.
Those three names are familiar to all who have

They are the three constituents of protoplasm

The chemist has made careful study of thesG
three types of compounds. The simplest of all are
the carbohydrates
The basis of each carbohydrate molecule is little

In the Beginning2

CCIENCE has worked wonders in
~ producing creature comforts, has
discovered much with respect to the
processes of natural law and has
taught men to make better, if not
wiser use of their resources.
But science has made nothing
The minerals it has found and en-
abled us to refine we're here long
before we arrived. So was the cleo
tricity. the air, the water and the
sunshine.
Even if science proves that men
descended from monkeys, that mon
keys descended from lower man.
mails, that these lower mammals
descended from reptiles and that
life began with single cell, it will
have proved nothing but the method
of creation. Back of that single
cell lies the riddle.
AS Darwin said, 1.-THE mystery of
all things is in the beginning" and
the beginning is a long way be-
yond anything science has seen, felt,
heard or imagined.

SAVAGE SaVantS

CCIENCE is supposed to be prac-
~ tical and hard-boiled, but some
of the papers being read before the
great gathering in New York
breathe an atmosphere of romance
and unreality.
Speculation and theory seem to
claim the spotlight What is God2
What is the universe, what is NOR
ality, what is the meaning of life?
These and similarly abstruse ques-
tions attract most of the attention.
One would be staggered at some
Of the notions advanced, if they
honestly could be characterized as
anything more than notions.
Except in the special and exact
fields Of science, such as physics,
chemistry, mathematics and mechan-
les, the greatest scholar is as much
at sea as a 10-year-old boy. He
may be able to hazard shrewder
guess, but it is a guess just the
same. When he gets to talking
about the Deity, creation, space
and ether, he only is using words
to cover his ignorance.

SAYS

IT requires little strain On the
4 memory or imagination to prove
that 1928 has been a rather good
year.
Radio sets are cheaper than they
were twelve months ago, the boyish
silhouette is going out of style and
Hollywood has become a clover
patch for elocution teachers. If that
is not enough, let it be recorded that
1928 saw the "Bunyon derbies"
completed, the Democratic party
broken down and Chicago com
mitted to program of civic virtue.
Such incident as the signing of the
Kellogg pact by fifty nations. the
advent Of a purely civil administra-
ton in Mexico, the end of the
Chinese revolution, the trip of the
Graf Zeppelin and Hoover's visit to
Latin-America also should be noted
for good measure.

And, to tell the truth, upon

Very probably he thought that

Reason

WHATEVER caused Mr.. Hoover
w to visit Washington so far
ahead of his term, he must watch
his step to avoid offending Mr.. Cool
idge.
The prestige of President dries
up like a prune during the last con-
gressional session of his administra-
ton, and for his successor to ap-
pear upon the scene to be palavered
over increases the agony of the
presidential eclipse.
The reason for this Is printed
in large type on the first page of
the book of human nature.
n
There's one good thing about
Commander Byrd's expedition to the
south pole, and it is that if Byrd
gets there nobody will make a
speech and declare that it will i'm
prove the relations between the
south pole and the United States.

If President Emilio PorteS Gil Of
Mexico, who has abolished summary
executions of rebels, wishes to lay
in a supply of legal delays he should
come up to the United States and
give our elaborate exhibit the once
over.
We do not believe there is any
thing in this report that Mr.. Hoo
yer has offered to make Julius Ro-
senwald, secretary of commerce in
his cabinet, for he could not recog-
nize the Sears -Roebuck half of the
American people without offending
the Montgomery Ward half.
Even if Mrs. Hoover wears that
Spanish shawl the crew Of the Utal;
gave her for Christmas, the women
of the country will not follow her
example and wear anything that
would take so much scenery out OF
circulation.
One undisputed result Of the

The arrest Of fortune teller in
California for defrauding a lot of
gullible victims causes one to marvel
that anybody in his right mind
should think another could foretell
the future, when If that other had
such power he could play the
stockmarket and clean up fortune
in ten short days.
Yet you would be surprised if all
who believe in such slush were to
parade before you.

IT, ErrOr-Declarer wins the first
trick in dummy with ace of hearts
and then illnesses jack of hearts,
which is covered by East with king
of spades. Declarer wins trick with
ace of spades. Game is lost as a
result of this play as opponents
make king of clubs, queen of clubs,
queen of hearts and 10 of spades.
The Correct MethOI-To frame,
declarer must make five tricks in
spades. After winning first trick
with ace Of hearts, declarer plays 4
OF spades, finessing with queen of
spades Thereafter ace of spades is
played and in all probability the
king of spades will then fall. The
last spade is now drawn and game
is insured.
The Principle-DO not finesse an
honor toward an honor, when hold
ing only eight or less cards missing
the king and 10 of that suit.

Thanks to Science

MTE owe much to science for the
w peace and prosperity we en-
joy. We owe more for the promise
the future holds. We owe still more
for the calm, hopeful way in which
we are able to face the expanding
problems of life.
Science has not destroyed faith
either in man or God, as some are
pleased to think, but has given 1t
broader meaning. Science has
taught us to think not only in
dependently, but fearlesSly.
1t is fitting that the year 1923
should come to its climax with the
greatest scientific gathering ever
held in the world, and that New
York, which is the greatest monu-
ment to scientific achievement ever
erected by man, should be the scene.
In this metropolis of modern
civilization, this center of wealth,
culture, jazz and hokum, with its
700-foot skyscrappers, its thirty
miles of brilliantly lighted tunnels
through which trains ceaselesSly
roar, its mighty bridges and tor
rental traffic streams, the greatest
scholar will find an appropriate set
ting, not only for his profoundeSt
thoughts, but weirdest fancies.
Here is evidence of organized
ideas, as well as organized indus
tries; of the poetic as we'll as the
practical; of exalted ambition, as
well as perverted taste. Here is a
magnified illustration of both the
good and evil which science has
woven into the picture of human
progress, of vice made strong, of
maliciousness intrenched and of de-
cent instincts refusing to bow to
either.

The general evidence seemed to
be that 5000 yards of playing dis
tance makes little difference to a
healthy man when he plays with
the same tempo all the time. A
friendly game has much less eff

pressure than a championship game

morning.
When the game is prescribed for
invalids as good exercise during con-
valesence. it is sufficient to begin
with one-half hour of play and to
increase gradually.
The player loses weight during
the game, varying from one pound
to four for eighteen holes, and
being greater in men than in
women.
If the player drinks a great deal
of water during the game the weight
will remain the same. Losses of ten
pounds or more, which are reported
to occur to championship players on
hot day, are therefore quite con-
ceivable.

report upon and recommend a
memorial to be erected to the

The committee is called upon to
report on the great sacrifice and
heroic conduct of these men and
also to provide a design for a
medal similar to the distinguished
flying cross to be bestowed by

The memorial will probably take
the form OF an imposing monu-

resolution called the attention OF
the house to the wonderful ser
