Inferiority

ATO industry in the world suffers
~ SO badly from sense of in
feriority. The men who make our
pictures all are frankly apologize,
no matter how pitiful a gesture of
pride they may make in press stuff
and advertisements.
Within year I met one Of the
great stars Of the screen, and he
had read so much of the literary
lambasting that he undertook to
convince every one in New York that
he himself moved through his work
animated throughout with a blazing
contempt for the job which he per-
formed.
This I took to oe an act. Few
ever have done well in any profess
sion which they utterly despised.
There is so much testimony that
stupidity is rampant in Hollywood
that there seems small room to
doubt the authenticity of this re-
port. Yet it may be less than a
complete story.
Here and there I venture to guess
there are men and women doing
their best and being justiflably
proud of it.
I'll admit that 7 don't like to &C
cept the report that all the high
seats are occupied by morons. The
motion picture is too important a
part of our daily lives to make it
possible for anybody with a social
conscience to laugh Fundamentally
at tragic ineptitude.

engage in occupations where they
will be dangerous to the public.
Another carrier menace is the
diphtheria carrier. The American
Journal of Public Health calls at
tention to study of diphtheria
carriers recently made in London.
1t was found in this study that
the majority Of diphtheria carriers
had diseased conditions in their
noses and Threats which made it
possible for them to carry about the
germs of the disease after they had
themselves recovered.

That Texas Tragedy

MO doubt, the people of East
~ land, Tex, are very sorry that
it happened.
The man had been condemned
to death, anyway, and after he shot
the jailer, there was not the
slightest chance Of his escaping the
penalty.
Even the mob leaders would ad-
nit that they beat the law by only
a few days, and accomplished Moth
ing by doing it, except to disgrace
the community.
Stormi11g a Jail, dragging human
being out of his bed, stringing him

dicated, what have they done to
make any one feel safer?
There is no progress in emotion
alis1n.
Try as we may, We can hate no
harder, love no fiercer, or punish
more cruelty than our savage
ancestors.
1t is not what we feel, but what
we think, that tells the story, and
thinking amounts to little, unless it
leads to the production of some
thing better.
Emotionalism remains the raw,
untamed thing it always was. The
individual who yields TO it loses, and
so does the community, or nation.
Whether it's a campaign for
censorship, reasonless rise in
prices, or war, you will find that
unrestrained emotionalisn is the
cause in nine cases out Of ten.

germs we're limited to the throat
alone; but in forty-thre of the
cases when the germs were found
in the nose and throat and ear. only
nineteen were cured by removal OF
the tonsils ana adenOids.
The most difficult types to treat
successfully are those in which the
diphtheria germs are kept in the
nose or in the sinuses which COM
municate with the nose.
In such instances, Vaccines made
Of diphtheria germs are used and
the nose and sinuses are washed out
with antiseptic solutions.
Even under the best of conditions
however, it is sometimes difficult tc
free the carrier entirely and it is
necessary to work out other plans
for controlling his activities.

Of foreign insect pests can be
cleaned from table prepared by
Professor Glenn w. Herrick of Cor
nell university.
He lists thirty-f1ve insect pests of
prime economic Importance which
have been introduced into the
United States since approximately
1850.
Twelve were introduced prior to
1900. They were the coddling- moth,
IIessian fly, pear psylla, imported
elm-leaf beetle, currant saWtly, i'm
ported cabbage worm, Gypsy moth,
San Jose scale, Larch casa-borer,
notified willow borer, brown-tai
moth, and Mexican cotton-boll
weevil.
Twelve more were introduced be-
tween 1900 and 1920. They we're the
carrot rust fly, alfalfa weevil, Euro
pean earwig, European pine-shoot
moth, pine saWfly, Japanese beetle,
Oriental peach moth, European
corn-borer, tropical fowl mite, ba-
nana-rcot borer, pink cotton-boll
worm, and apple and thorn
SkeletoniEer.
Another eleven have been added
to the Est since 1890. They are the
AS; tic beetle, satin moth. camphor
scale, Mexican bean beetle, new
Oriental beetle, Australian tomato
weevil, Oriental twiliTht beetle, cab
bage weevil, grape tllr.0s, Mexican
fruit-fly and Mediterranean fruit
fly.
1t is important to note that the
rate at which inse pests are in
troduced seems t. be on the in
crease.
This fact is particularly alarm
ing in the face CT the fact that strict
quarantine me- sures were intro
duced about fifteen years ago to
guard against insect pests.

TIME medium itself is in no sense

the development of sound, there is
no reason in the world why a mas

field for the work of true mag

AS yet, no screen genius has
arisen. Here and there some direc-
tor has done enough to entitle him
to rank among the highly talented
creative artists, but the scenario
writer's are still a lap behind.

The advancement of humanity is
not to be measured by it's tears,
its laughter, or it's shrieks, but by
the things it has accomplished
through quiet thinking, self
restraint and steady work.
The llusionment prevails that
real achievement goes back to pas
sion, eccentricity. or even fanatic
ism, but that is because we call
many achievements great when
they merely are Astonishing.
The truly great achievements are
to be found in the customs, COM
forts and conveniences that live,
not in the movements, conquests,
or empires that have disappeared;
in the discoveries, inventions, and
methods that can be made use of
by average people, not in the ability
of few to lord it over their fell

bowls and sabotage from office holders and patronage
panders That is what happened to the Harding
organization report prepared by the commission
headed by Walter F. Brown postmaster general
This thing has been Hoover's mind for long
time. It would be. He is best as an organizer. He
found the commerce department the least important
branch of the government and in eight years made it
one of the most important. The result looked like
a miracle. In fact it only the application to
government business of efficiency principles applied
daily and generally throughout the commercial world
When Hoover for the presidency he promised
to do the same kind of recognizing in the White
House He is keeping that pledge. In fortnight he
is expected to present to the congress his initial
plans.
The problem is essentially one of coordination,
Capitalization, elimination of duplication. The nation
started out with three federal executive departments
which have been added to from time to time, reaching
a present total Of ten. To these have been added
twenty-five independent commissions and agencies
The result is that one governmental activity may
be handled by as many as half dozen departments
and agencies Apart from the obvious direct waste of
money involved in such duplication, there is serious
division of responsibility which produces in many
cases gross inef1ciency and negligence.
Instead of attempting to complete the series of
ganizational reforms in swoop probably meet
ing the failure his predecessors the Presi-
dent is reported planning to put through congress one
reform at time. He is expected to start with veter-
ans activities and follow with Capitalization of pro-
hibitiop enforcement agencies.
Among the bureaus now responsible for some phase
OF veterans relief are the independent veterans
bureau, the public health servc of the treasury de-
partment, the independent national home for disabled
volunteers and the pension office of the interior de-
partment.
These agencies and Others spending more than
three quarters of billion dollars year. are to be con-
soldated in whole in part.
Similarly, most prohibition enforcement agencies
including present treasury department units are to
be centered under an assistant attorney general

SCIENCE
Insects, With Their Ceaseless
Advance, May Dispute
Mans Dominance OF the
Earth.
BY DAVID DlETZ.

MAN rules the world today. He
AFA drives his locomotives across
the land, his boats across the sea.
his airplanes through the air. Ami
mails fall for the most part into two
classes, those he has tanned and
those fast becoming extinct.
But many scientists are not vet
certain that man will remain in
possession Of the earth. Many en-
tomologists, as those who devote
their time to the study of insects are
called, feel that the insects yet may
dispute mans possession of the
earth.
DR.. L. o. Howard, former chief
Of the United States bureau Of en-
tomology, says that mankind must
wage perpetual warfare with the in
sects, and to support his claim he
points to the many problems which
both the United States bureau and
similar bureaus in all parts of the
world must face.
Mans advances have hurt other
animals. But they have helped
many kinds of insects. Great farms
are not only sources of food for man.
They likewise are choice banquets
for millions of insects.
International commerce has been
an aid to insects. An insect is car
ried from one country to another.
In its native country, the insect may
have many enemies-other insects
which prey upon it. AS a result, its
numbers are kept down.
In the new country, the insect
may have no natural enemies. AS
a result, it will flourish until it costs
the farmers millions of dollars a
year.
