Norway Discourages
Reckless Explorers
From the Atlanta journal.

From the Atlanta journal,
Something more than a humanitarian
spirit inspired the Norwegian govern
ment's recently announced policy, re-
stricting the use Of the port of Spitz-
bergen as the starting; point for polar
expeditions. No longer is Spitzbcrgen
to be open to all corners who would
visit the North Pole. Only experienced
explorers. familiar with Arctic travel
who are capable of showing that they
have made every necessary preparation
to guarantee their safe return, will be
permitted to use the far-northern land
as the base of their operations.
The Norwegian government. we are
reminded, has found that rescue work
in The Arctic is both dangerous and
expensive. and it has been convinced,
too, that most of the explorers who get
lost In the icy wastes owe their pre-
dicament to inexperience and UMPIRE
paredness. In the past too many per-
sons have ventured forth on hazardous
journeys without first counting the cost.
and the Norwegians properly have taken
steps to economize In life and money
by checking the reckless spirit of ad-
venture that undoubtedly sways some
OF those who embark on perilous un-
dertakings.

restrictions to curb reckless and ILL

All over the world there are countless
persons who apparently regard the field
of aviation as having been made to
order for the qualification of their per-
sonal ambitions. Adventures of the air
constantly are setting forth on perilous
flights that really mean nothing. Es-
pecially is this true with a vast ma
iority of the attempted flights over
the oceans. If their folly jeopardizes
them, they feel reasonably sure that
the great ocean liners will turn from
their courses to aid in their rescue.
They realize that the governments of
the civilized nations of the world will
spare neither pains nor expense to
come to their aid. OF course. it shouldn't
be otherwise. but it involves needless
waste of time and energy and money.
It Is not intended to criticize VEN
lures designed to serve useful pur-
pose. They should be encouraged. but
those calculated only to advertise those
participating in them should be dis
couraged in every way possible. and
suppressed entirely If the means can
be found to do it.

Door.to.Door Selling
Editorial Praised

TO the Editor of The Star:
AS a Washingtonian may commend
your editorial upon the necessity of
amending the old law here concerning
selling from door to door, and as a
World War man I desire TO praise the
faction of the District of Columbia
Department of the Disabled American
Veterans in asking that the proposed
law be so drafted as to protect the
public against being imposed upon
under guise of relief to war veterans.
Washington has always shown its
readiness to respond to any worthy call
for relief to our eX-service men. but it
gets tiresome to have individuals carry
ing permits from the District Govern
ment ringing the doorbell and telling
all sorts OF stories about how the
veteran is suffering without the Gov
eminent helping.
World War men themselves are seldom
fooled by these requests for assistance
and they usually make it so strong when
they talk to these takers that they do
not return. Veterans know that men
who need relief would be sent to the
Veterans Bureau, where they may get
disqualification, without delay, if they
need it. If they cry that the Veterans

Americas Thanksgiving.

The Nation, under the impetus Of
long established custom and formal
presidential decree, today halts the nor
NAL routine of its daily existence that
thanks may be given to Providence for
its multifarious blessings.
However perfunctory the observance
Of the occasion may be to many Amert-
cans-for it would be insincere to claim
that the genuine spirit of thanksgiving
so fully owed by America is individually
appreciated by all concerned-it is ex-
ceedingly proper that a specific oppor-
tunity be at least afforded each Of us
to reflect upon the blessings Of our
Nation and Of its individual citizens
There has been no day in the past year
that each of us could not have felt
and should not have felt a deep sense
of gratitude to God for the blessings
which are ours. But complacency born
of habitua: and established good for
tune is human, If not admirable, and
a vast majority Of us, accepting our
prosperity as a matter of course. have
failed to give the minutes of serious and
consecutive thought to the subject Of
our debt to a kindly Providence. 1t
would be well for each, seriously, to do
90 today.
The Star has no intention of here
citing the blessings enjoyed by America
and Americans. They are innumerable,
patent, and incomparably greater than
those of any other nation in the world.
But it would protest against the devel-
opment of any national tendency to
the SNUG acceptance of them as q
matter of course.
OF all the words that bespeak graft
tude there is none more expressive In
its true sense than appreciation" For
If we genuinely appreciate gift Of man
or God we not only delight in Its pos
session, but are conscious of the debt
involved through its possession.
Today we give thanks for our bless
ings-blessings accruing to us as citi-
zens of the most fortunate and happy
Nation In the world. If we can, in so
doing, duly appreciate the significance
of that which is ours. we must arrive
at an awareness of the obligations and
responsibilities involved. And IL we
can carry that awareness with US As
America strides forward in the fulfilling
of her destiny we shall not have failed
the implied trust of Him to whom we
owe all that has been given us.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES r. TRACEWELL

Comparative dietetics has no more
interesting battle-ground than at the
luncheon tables Of the countless thou
sands who eat downtown every day
except Sunday.
Not even the most expert diagnos-
tician is able to tell why one man
eats lightly. another heavily. or whether
the excess foodstuffs consumed by the
latter does him as much good as the
lesser amount eaten by the former.
In the matter OF the daily lunch
every man seems to be law unto
himself.
Men at desk work eat like farm
hands; truck drivers eat daintily of
crackers and milk. There is no telling
how man will eat by looking at him.
Restaurants, lunchrooms, hotels and
other eating places are the places
where this comparative physiology goes
forward day by day, since there seems
to be no abatement in the universal
demand of mankind for food.
Upon this plane all created things
are equal.
A dog likes his meals no more, per-
haps than hts master, If as much.
A man partakes of dinner with a
famished expression no whit less than
that registering on the faithful coun-
tenance of Fido.
Cats come to back doors at eventide.
meowing Justify for their bowl of milk
or platter of raw beef.
Every kind of creature has its pref

In a big city eating is a continuous
performance, Just as they go to work
at different times. eating their break
fasts at unlike hours. so men gather
for luncheon all the way from II am.
to 2 pm.
The wise lunchroom makes allowance
for this divergence. but the sluggish
proprietor permits his menials to harass
early customers with mops and pals OF
soapy water.
Such a procedure is guaranteed to
cut the appetite sQuarely In two, thus
deriving the establishment OF exactly
one-half of it's otherwise profits.
Four to five hours seem to be the
normal time allowed by most workers
to elapse between breakfast and lunch.

am. the chances are that you will

with equanimity until or 2 o'clock In
the afternoon.
Such a staggering Of lunchtimes. OF
course, brings around a similar stag
gcred set of "midafternoon" cravings
for more food, probably between and
4 o'clock, answered in most cases by
a recourse to candy.
In this matter the continental GUS

merit. There can be little question
that the English custom meets squarely

The National Academy of Sciences
in session at Schenectady recently
heard reports on the latest advances in
the science Of senetics from DR.. c. B
Davenport Of the Carnegie Institution
of Washington.
DR.. Davenport maintained the exist
ence of certain racial mental traits and
explained his belief that these are he
reditary, passed along from generation
to generation with such factors as the
color Of the skin.
This is position which the geneticist
is loath to abandon, despite some con-
trary evidence which has been ad.
vanced from the fields of anthropology
or psychology. He is the Augustinan
Of science, holding his position In the
face Of what appears to be rising tide
Of Plagiarism.
The possible weakness of his position
lies in the fact that he must base his
statements Of mental differences on
tests the effectiveness of which Is in
dispute. Moreover tests which might
give perfect results when applied by
white men to white men hardly can be
relied upon when applied by white men
to brown men or black men. There is
too great factor of Interpretation o!
results involved. The anthropoloeist
has learned the inadequacy Of trying
to interpret the mind of an Indian
while thinking like white man. ano
once he has submitted the dictums OF
the ganctecist to this test he finds rea-
son for grave doubts.
A great deal Of research remains tc
be done in all the fields of science in
volved before the truth is reached
Meanwhile exact experimental work
such as that of Dr. Davenport and hi,
colleagues Is of the utmost value. It /:
the one way of establishing truth, even Il
it only establishes In the end that tht
geneticist's theory of a great deal Of
mental heredity is fallacy.
