EVOLUTION asserts that the
II present is the child of the
past and the parent of the
future. It is in harmonious
accord with the facts of life.
We cannot prove it in any ulti-
mate sense, as we can prove,
for example, the Second Law
of Thermodynamics. But it
works. It is a going concern.
There arc plants which grow
so rapidly that we can actu-
ally observe the progress of
their growth with the naked
eye. In a similar way, we
know that there are wonder
fully complete fossil series, so
orderly in their development
that we almost see evolution
in progress.
The recent extraordinary ex-
posture Of widespread ScepticiSm
concerning the evolutionary
hypothesis has back of it the
aimless feeling that evolution
is not now going. Many peo-
pie, who reason accurately
upon the ordinary affairs of
life, founder hopelesSly in the
sphere of evolutionary science.
They are not convinced by

deny that the separate SpeCi-
mems, slowly increasing in size,
for example, from that of a
dog to that of a Percheron,
once existed or even. the last
one, still exists. But for want
OF complete and irrefutable
proof, they deny the chain Of
development, namely, that each
Speciman evolved from the one
preceding it in the series. They
will even admit, for the sake
of argument, that evolution
may once have operated; but
they emphatically deny that
evolution is still going on. If
it is, they ask why do not

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis Z. RischJ

NERVOUSNESS is a much
~ used and much-abused
term.
Everybody gets nervous at

he shows q certain instability
leading to anger or worry or
confusion or fear or q thou.
sand and one other possible
things.
Such manifestations are not
nervousness in the scientific
sense Of the word.
In fact, such nerve manifesto
tions are negligible. Nervous
ness is only important when it
seriously and more or less con-
tinuously interferes with hap
pineSs or work or with ones
general sense of well-being.
In such cases of nervousness
we often find obseSSive ideas
that harasS the mind. People
feel they may say something
or do something they are
ashamed of or afraid of-Sui.
eide for example-yet despite
the insiStence of the idea they
never actually give way to it.
This particular form of neu-
roSis is known as "compulSion
neurosis." The compulSion may
be to wash the hands after
touching almost anything.
Another type is anxiety nell
roSiS. Here the predominating
nervous picture is a feeling of
impending danger, that some
thing dreadful is going to hap
pen.
In neuraSthenia nerve exhaus

NeuraSthenicS tire after the
slightest exertion.
In psychasthenia the same
kind Of weakness appears, only
! here the patients become men,
tally fatigued rather than phys
ically. They cannot concentrate
their attention. The slightest
mental effort wears them out.
There are those who are
afraid of high places like a tall
building. Others fear closed
places like an elevator, small
room, a subway. Some are fear
full of open spaces like crossing
a plaza or a field.
Nobody seems to understand
them, and they surely do not
understand themselves. They
cannot figure out why they
should be so different from
others nor how they developed
that way.
Yet the real fundamental
cause for all such nervous dis
orders lies in the mind.
There is no organic nerve
trouble. The structure Of the
nerves is intact, but the work
ingS or functions of the nerves
are at fault.
Nervousness is q functional
disorder!

sisted in a chronic form for
years. 1t may take a specialist
to do it and it may take weeks
and months to accomplish it,

GO-ROUND

THERE is a brighter side to
l. all things. and the silver
lining to the fecent Wall Street
cloud-burSt is the sweet thought
that, NOW. we can stop Strug-
Cling to keep up with the
Jones'!" Oh, joy!
It is quite the smart thing to
be broke" and you can wear
gaSolined gloves and moth
eaten furs, and still leave the
impression that you lost mil
lions in the market"
Most of us, will be terribly
busy for the next few years,
struggling to bring our running
expenses down to a WALK. And
those who still have plenty Of
money will be either ashamed
to admit it or too delicate to
display it in the presence Of
those who have lost theirs.
Even the solvents will talk
'frugality." and be afraid to be
seen dashing around in new i'm
ported cars and ernnine evening
coats, for fear that all their
bankrupt friends will try to bor-
row money from them.
It's no disgrace to be poor
when you're poor en- masse. And
the whole country will probably
go Greenwich Village" where
it's the fashion to be penniless
and you brag about how
cheaply you can eat and how
little you can live on.
To be as dowdy as an Eng
lish Duchess will be positively
swank; and darned stockings
will be mark of social distinc-
ton. All the Scotch jokes will
come TRUE!
The only danger is that
there will not be as many "ex-
millionaire'S" as there once were
Kentucky Colonies and Rus
sian Archdukes running loose
around the country.
Everybody, who once had a
couple of shares Of Blue-Sky
preferred worth two collars at
par, will now think Of himself
bitterly as "a Big ex-Wau
Street, phlnper."
Speaking seriously, it's going
to be mighty healthy thing
for this Land of the Free
Spender, to stop worshipI'ing
the Golden Calf and go back
to honest WORK.
Lots Of tired men AMI women
will be glad to stop hitting the
high spots and give UP the
painful struggle to keep UP
with the jones', to get out OF
their evening clothes, stay
away from parties and read
some of the unopened books in
their own libraries-to stop
showing off and begin really
