Fear BofogS the Soul

1T is only necessary to consult the
Il records of the torture chamber
to appreciate how definitely fear
leads to lying.
Not hundreds, but thousands, of
perfectly innocent human beings
have confessed themselves witches,
and told in detail how they bar
gained with the devil, sold their
souls and sealed the contract in
blood, in the hopes of escaping
punishment.
So, too, thousands of innocent
human beings have confessed
heresy.
Nothing befogs the human soul
like fear, and nothing makes in
telligence seem SO unimportant. The
human being who bases his con-
ception of the truth on fear, who is
guided by the dread of fire and
birthstone, who feels that he must
escape something, may be less apt
to lie Intentionally, but the chances
are ten to one that he will lie in
Voluntarily, because he can not help
1t, or doesn't know any petCer.
We speak the truth not only in
the ordinary sense, but in our
highbrow legal Technology, as
though it were an indivisible
changeless substance which men
could conceal or produce at their
will and pleasure.
We demand Eyes" and mo"
answers from the veriest ignoramus,
no matter how involved the question
may be.
quite frequently, witnesses are
nagged into telling untruths against
their will, and we call it a victory

There Are Too Many LdWs
IN This Country That Block
Justice More often Than
They Serve 1t.
SAYS

DELIEF not only in God, but in
- hell, is required to give testi-
mony a flrst-class rating in North
Carolina.
This is not a matter of judicial
opinion, but of statute.
The statute was passed 152 years
ago.
It has not been enforced very
often, which may be due to the prev
alence Of orthodoxy, or to the fact
that lawyers neglected to bring it up.
The statute is just as effective,
however, as though it had been
adopted last week and represented
twentieth century intelligence, in
stead of fourteenth century super
stition.
There are too many laws like that
in this country-laws that fail to
represent modern ideas; laws that
block justice more often than they
serve it, and that cause ordinary
folks to wonder whether common
sense has fed the courtroom.
It is bad enough to make truth
matter of legal quibbling, but the
situation becomes hopeless when it
is made matter of religious con-
victions based on fear.

'bl)YS' OWN PAPER
 HALF CENTURY OLD
Pioneer British JlIals xi6l, !. zinc Hls Hid Flnd Witels

London. May :5 CA triumph of literary pioneering in boy psychol- ogy was celebrated here this year in the jubilee anniversary of The Boys Own Paper" historic British publication.
 Tt is written for boys, and not for their grandmothers." q. A. Hutch- ison, the first editor announced in launching 50 years ago the little magazine.
 Packed with clean, wholesome stories of adventure and with prac- tical articles and sketches on How to do" things. the ''B. O. F." wrought a revolution in journalism for youth and blazed trail which has been followed by score of imi- tators.
 The long list of contributors to ''The Boys Own" is bright with the names of men who have won im- mortal fame in he- boy literature. The papers readers include men of eminence in every walk of life-one of whom now sits in an imperial throne. while others rule the des- tinies of a mighty empore.
 Famous Authors
 Before he created Sherlock Holmes" A. Conan Doyle (now Sir Arthur was writing Christmas stories for the "B. o. F." Jule Verne's classic and prophetic TO- mances of the sea were reproduced in the paper'c early numbers. G. A. Henty's historical stories of adven- ture, R. NJ. Ballantyne's pirate and frontier tales. W. H. c. Kingston's marine thrihers-all throbbed through the pages of this treasure house of wonders.
 T remember the delight with which I bought the weekly num- bers," is the tribute of Sir William Joynson- Hicks. home secretary in the British government. "and how I set to work to build rabbit hutches and chicken pens-and made myself great nuisance to my parents by keeping every kind of pets."
 The first number of the "B. o. P" exhibits the policy which built its unique popularity and influence. Captain Matthew Webb. the first to conquer the turbulent strip of water between England and the continent, told How I Swam the Channel" From Powder Monkey to Admiral" bore the magic name of Kingston.

 The fourth volume of the masa- xine was dedicated to two of its readers: Prince Edward (whe died in youth) and his younger brother. Prince George. nov king of England.
 Sea stories proved to b. perhaps the most popular type of fiction in tho great variety which the ''B. O.. F." offered its eager readers.

 In the German Women Doctor'' Monthly" Dr. Gertrude Woker de scribed how the committees inves' tigations clearly proved that for thu civilian population in war of the future no protection existed. Tn: utility of seeking such protective measures, she said. was parent from the fact that all nations ars busy producing new forms of gal which they are carefully keeping secret from each other.
 AS to the progress made in this most devastating form of warfare, the Red Gross was able to gleau much startling enlightenment. Il was learned. for instance, that Brisanx shells with time fuses arc being made which when dropped from airplanes bury themselves in the earth. exploding |, 6, s, l, or even 36 hours later. Against sucjl deadly missiles even the best organ ized rescue squads would prove un- availing.
 Moreover, every military attack of the future. the Red Cross experts believe. will comprise at least three different kinds of arms. Each of which renders the protective meas ure for one incompatible for the other.
 A gas mask is not only not pro- tective against corrosives, but indi- viduals affected by such a corrosive poison must also be excluded from dusouts to prevent others from be- ing infected by them.
 No Safety Anywhere
 Let us assume" writes Dr. Wok- CT, that the frantically hurrying refugees who have not been trampI- ed underfoot in the panic have fin- ally reached such 8 haven against gas attacks. But instead of diving down into safety they will be con- fronted by a sign prohibiting those among them infected with mustard gas from entering the dugout, and who like outcasts will be hounds,l from one place Of safety to an- other"
 For mustard gas is corrosive that cannot be wiped off, but on the contrary. is diffused over a large area when touched. A single car- rier of mustard gas suffices to infect all tho inmates of dugout, as no protective clothing or mask against mustard gas exists.
 After discussing the possibilities for evolving . reliable system for sending out an alarm to the civilian population of an impending gas at- tack. the committee resolved "thai none of the recommended measures for safeguarding humanity offers an adequate protection for. the civilian population against poison gas at- tacks and that . future chemical warfare is likely to produce the most frightful catastrophe among a coun- try's neur0nbatauts.''

HYDE UPHOLDS Merit
IN COOPERATIVE IDEA
Secretary of Agriculture Points to
Similarity Between Indus
try and Farming.

Cooperative organizations can win
ground for agriculture which can be
consolidated and held. Arthur M. Hyde,
Secretary of Agriculture, told the Mems
Club of the Foundry Methodist Church
Friday evening in pointing out that
legislation alone cannot answer the
farmers problems.
AFTER all that may be done by SYM
pathetic legislation" he said, there will
always be much that must be done by
the farmers themselves"
In business, in civic affairs and In re-
ligion cooperation has achieved reSpec-
liability as in nearly every field of hu-
man endeavor, Secretary Hyde declared,
yet when the question is raised to its
application to agriculture it is subject
of criticism.
"Why cooperation, when applied to
agriculture, should be frowned upon, p"
he said, why staid and conservative
business men who have co-operated and
are cooperating in many business, re-
ligious and civic enterprises should hold
up their hands in horror, and allow a
righteous dread to drown their souls,
when farmers begin to work together, Is
past my limit of understanding.
THE object of corporate production
the same as the aim of cooperative
marketing of agricultural commodities
profit for the producers.
tine object of comparatively pro-
noting civic ideal. or seeking justice
for a class, is not distinguishable from
seeking a fair price for agricultural
products and promoting justice to the
farmers of America as class" he de-
clared

and Barnum & Bailey circus will be
reared at the Camp Meigs site this
morning and its train Of animals and
performers unloaded in preparation for
the opening performance tomorrow of

ton
Billed as bigger and better" than
ever before, the circus will have in &C
ton number of new aerial performers
and other stars whose feats are counted
upon to produce real thrills. Complete
revolutions Of the body-a series of
forward somersaIlts down the entire
length of the hirpodrome track-are

line of circus performers. She is said
to be the only circus performer in the

and binding. With the help of Miss
Elizabeth P. Gray, then curator Of
binding, the present loose leaf binder
was designed. These binders are a
model for all work of this kind and are
a monument to the ingenuity of Miss
Gray in devising unusual accessories
for WaShingtoniana. Sheets of paper
Of uniform size are cut in our bindery
and a frame used to outline the mar
gins. The actual mounting is what we
call special mounting and requires
certain dizziness and assurance together
with an artistic sense when 1t comes to
arrangement and captions. Before the
real mounting takes place there Is often
much 'unmounting' to be done. The
material coming into Washingtoniana
is, nine times out of ten, in the form of
masses Of loose clippings without ar
rangement or anything else; frequently
the very lot that is selected for preser-
walton has already been mounted by
some careful soul who wanted to save
it for posterity. They are mounted on
anything handy, manila paper, ordi-
nary newspaper and cardboard. All
this must be unmounted. A fiat hos
pital pan Is used for this and each
section Of the material carefully num-
bered so that the putting together again
VIII be easy. Entire absence Of source
or date Is another feature which must
be corrected or acknowledged. The
hand press is used for smaller mounts.
but the larger and more important
sheets are sent to the bindery for
pressing.
