discoveries, all great achieve
ments in science or business,
came to pass because some man
first had imagination enough to
conceive them.
Many men have been hit on
the head by a falling apple.
Newton, when the apple hit him,
had imagination enough to for.
muIate the law of gravitation.
Many men have been burned
by their wives tea kettles. Watt
had imagination enough to con-
ceive the steam engine.
Look through the pages of
history, and you will discover
that the leaders Of men have
been those who could dream
great dreams and carry them
out-the men Of powerful, intel
iigent imagination.
Because this is true, the editor
of magazine that prints
stories has a responsibility that
he must take seriously If he is
any sort of man at all. He is
intrusted with the duty of stimu-
Iating the Imagination Of thou
sands Of children Of mothers
like you.
He may, If he choose, publish
stories whose appeal is to the
baser, side of the imagination
and even achieve a certain sort
of circulation increase for his
magazine by so doing. Or he
may regard every mother among
his readers az If she were his
own mother, and every mothers
son as n younger brother.
You need not concern your.
self because your boy likes
stories. But are the stories he
reads the right kind Of stories
do they appeal to his imasina-
ton on its best and highest side?
That is the important question
for you.

to the House, Andrew Johnson became
Senator from Tennessee and Mr.. Taft
accepted a post on the United States
Supreme Court bench, then became
Chief Justice.
In the early days former Presidents
never lost interest in the Government.
When Washington retired to Mount
Vernon he kept in constant touch with
his former official associates. He
watched legislation carefully and had
no hesitation in expressing his opinion
upon the issues of the day.
John Adams retired to his farm aft
er his term as President. He spent
much of his time writing historical
papers, and November Is, 1915, he was
elected by his district of Braintree to
the state convention called to amend
the constitution on the creation of the
district of Maine into a separate State.
That was his last public service.
Jefferson's Activities.
Jefferson lived II years after he quit
the presidency. His estate at Month
cello, Va, was the mecca for politicians,
statesmen and tourists. He was con-
suited by those in public life concern
ing the questions of the hour, and his
ripe judgment was In constant de-
mand.
James Madison was sc when he left
the White House. Twelve years after
that he served as a delegate in the
Virginia convention for the revision of
the constitution. He was one of the
most valuable members of that body
and his advice was eagerly sought
Martin Van Buren, was one Of the
earliest of former Presidents to tour
Europe. When the Civil War came he
arrayed himself strongly on the side of
the Government.
When John Tyler left Washington
he went to his home, at Sherwood For
est Charles City County. Va, where
"he lived in peace and comfort in a
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-01-20

was thick in the fray. Informed of
his nomination to the House after his
service as President had ended, he said:
II am not aware of any sound prin-
ciple which would justify me in with
holding my services from my fellow
citizens"
His record in the House furnishes
one of the most brilliant chapters in
the history of that body.
What happened is what might be
expected to happen If any one of our
other Presidents should consent to
serve in House or Senate. One. of his
nection:
"He exhibited a fund of knowledge,
so vast and profound-a familiarity
so perfect with nearly every topic that
claimed the attention of Congress
he could bring forth from his we'll
repleniShed store of memory so vast
an array of facts, shedding light upon
subjects deeply obScured by others, dis
playing such readiness and power in
debate, pouring out streams of purest
eloquence or launching forth the most
scathing denunciations, when he deemed
them called for, that his most bitter

sarcasm and dreading his assaults.

highest admiration"
Motives Beyond Question.
It is not in oratory alone that a
former President should be valuable in
the legislative body. In the Senate he
would have a steadying influence on
partisanship. With nothing to gain
or lose in future political rewards or
punishmentS, he could speak absolute
ly disinterestedly on great questions
His motives could not be questioned.
Three former Presidents have VOL
unfairly taken conspicuous posts in the
Government after leaving the White
House. John Quincy Adams was elected

home he priced" Before he died the
mutterings of the Civil War were being
heard. He joined the Confederate side.
and was elected a member of the Con-
federate Congress. The fact that he
died before taking his seat adds to the
dramatic side of the picture.
When Willard Fillmore retired the
members of his cabinet united in send
ing him a letter expressing apprecia-
ton of his abilities, his integrity and
devotion to the public service" He was
candidate for the presidential NOM
nation in the Wing convention of 1852,
but the fact that he had signed the
fugitive slave bill made him unpopular
In the North and he failed to get more
than a handful of votes in the conven-
ton. A few years later, while he was
in Rome, in 1856, he received word
that he had been nominated for PreSi-
dent by the American party. But the
real struggle was between the two old
parties, and Mr.. Fillmore did not get
back to the White House.
Gen. Grant after his two terms,
made his celebrated trip around the
world. He was greeted abroad almost
as sovereign. Never had former
President of the United States been
received with such distinguished hon.
ors. Meantime, his friends had de-
termined to have him nominated for a
third term. The plan failed, and there
Is reason to believe Grant was
chagrined.
Later ne made the mistake of going
into the banking business by lending
his great name to associates. There
was a crash which engulfed him.
Driven by necessity, he wrote a series
OF magazine articles on the Civil War.
1t was after he learned that he was
mortally Ill that he began writing his

he expected. In a speech of three
and half hours Ca marvellous effort
considering his age and the almost
unexampled strain to which he has
been subjected since July, 1920 he set
forth, among Sundry other considera-
tionS, his hope that the international
committee of experts which is about to
overhaul the machinery of German
reparations payments, would achieve an
arrangement that would make possible
conSummation of satisfactory debt
arrangements between France on the
one part and the United States and
Great Britain on the other, an arrange
ment that would contribute enormously
to the peace and prosperity of the peo-
pies" He won over only a minority of
the intranSigeant Radical Socialists, but
enough.

Three hundred and thirty determine
lions OF the depth of the sea have
been made with the sonic depth-finder.
This sonic depth finding apparatus was
loaned to the Carnegie by the United
States Navy Department. It is an cleo
trical apparatus designed to measure
the depth of ocean floors by recording
the time required for sound waves, from
an oscillator mounted on the hull below
the water line, to reach the bottom and
be reflected back to the surface. Suf-
f1cient checks have been made with
wire Soundings to show that its ac-
curacy is within expected limits.
A definite statement of the value of
results thus far obtained cannot be
made for many years. Much care Is be-
ing taken to obtain accurate records.
Every one Is busy all the time; in fact.
more work Is being accomplished than

Great Britain.-In the week ended
January IL the total of unemployed
among the registered workers of Great
Britain rose above 100000. Certainly
the total of unemployed workers in the
realms is not less than 100000. AL
lowing three dependents to a worker,
you have 100000 persons in Great
Britain being supported at the expense
of the remainder 100000 of the pop
ulation. 1t is probably a conservative
statement that, under present condi-
tionS, Great Britain Is overpopulated
by 100000 souls.
Some day there is going to be Chan
mel tunnel. Satisfactory plans for such
tunnel have long been awaiting reali-
cation. Some people are urging that
construction be started at once, as 1t
would provide no mean relief in respect
of unemployment. Construction start
ed" however, is not an accurate express
sion; one should say construction re-
Sumed." In the early eighties of the
last century construction was stimuli
taneouSly begun. on the French and
English sides, and about one and one
half miles had been excavated on the
French side and three-quarters of a
mile on the English side when the mill
tary gentlemen on both sides of the
ditch by alarmist pressure caused ces-
sation of the work The military gen.
tlemen played the fool in this instance.
The signs point ever more strongly
toward church disestablishment. The
other day the aging queen of the Allan
tic, the Mauritania, established a new
record for the voyage from New York
to Plymouth, of days, 10 hours and SIS
minutes, faster than the previous record
(made by HERSELF by hours and 2
minutes. Recently the Mauretania was
overhauled and equipped with new ma
chinery, with view to maintenance of
her primacy in face of the challenge to
come from the North German Lloyd
ships, the Bremen and Europa, now
nearing completion. The Mauritania
holds the record also for the east-west
passage, Plymouth to New York, namely
days, hours and 80 minutes.

| the results of delay or inadvertence in
| his department. The law still requires
| that continuance be authorized before
| arrival at retirement age; otherwise the
employe must be dropped, regardless
both of his desires and fitness and the
need of the Government for his work.
This serves no good purpose. The
commission accordingly recommended
the following amendment in a letter
of January 81. 1928. to the chairman,
House committee on the civil service, as
fourth paragraph to section 2 Of the
retirement act:
In all cases where an employee
otherwise eligible for continuance has
been retained beyond retirement age
without prior authority. the Civil Serv-
Ice Commission may issue certificate Of
continuance legalizing the service Of
such employe and authorizing his
paragraph l Of this section, upon being
satisfied that the retention was due to
erroneous or incomplete records of age
or service, or to faulty administration
on the part Of the department or office
concerned, and not to any attempt or
desire by the employe to deceive for the
purpose of defeating any provision Of
this act"
The amendment would defeat no pur-
ehectuate its expressed intention that
employees fit and DESTROYS of remaining
beyond retirement age should be re-
tanned
Inequalities Pointed Out.
The commission has frequently called
attention to existing inequalities in tbs
relation of deductions. length of service,
and annuities. The commission regards
the following as unfair:
ID An employee at $4,000 per an
mum pays into the retirement fund twice
as much as one at $500 and gets no
larger annuity.
(2) An employe retiring after 40
years OF service pays one-third more
into the fund than one retiring after 80
years, the salaries being equal, and gets
no larger annuity.
CD An employee who enters the serv-
Ice at the age of 20 receives no greater
annuity on retirement at 10 than one
who enters at 10, although the Govern
ment compels him to serve 20 years
longer to obtain it.
Benefits under the retirement law
are In no sense a charity or gratuity.
Retirement with annuity Is based upon
sound business principles. The en-
ployes contribute 81 per cent of their
pay to the retirement fund, and thus
far the system has been more than self
sustaining.
This law is one of the recent advances
in the employment system of the Gov
eminent. 1t is plainly imperfect, but It
will doubtless be improved by the legiS-
lative body, according to the needs de-
veloped by experience in its admins
tration.

the question arises
What shall we do with our former
PreSidentS?"
And there may be an answer in this
Suggestion-a provision that retiring
President should automatically become
off1cio delegate to that body.
In that event, should he have vote
or merely be present in an advisory
capacity? These are interesting queS-
tions, and they have been placed be-
fore various members of the Senate,
whose opinions appear in this article.
Every man who has served IN the
presidency came out of it with valu-
able knowledge and experience. Is there
any good reason why these should not
be utilized by the country? Would 1t
not be a fine thing for the United
States if the Government could have
the benefit of Mr.. Coolidge's advice,
experience and judgment after he has
laid down the presidency?
Senator Ex-OfficiO.
It is true that the American desiring
continued public service might have
himself elected to the House of Repre-
sentativeS or the Senate as has been
done by at least two of our former
Presidents. But every one after hold
ing the most exalted position in the
gift of the people does not have the
desire to scramble for Office. Hence,
the Senator ex-officio!
The fact that a man who has served
as President can continue to give valu-
able assistance to the Government has
been strikingly illustrated in the case
of John Quincy Adams. The ''old man
eloquent" continued his public career
and to the last moment of his life

BY BRUCE BARTON.

A MOTHER writes me about

Frankly, madam, do not

1t is about as easy to cure a
boy of eating as it is to destroy
his love for good stories.
Centuries before there was
any writing story-tellers drifted
about from village to village,
gathering the people together
and telling them stories.
The love Of fiction is as old as
that--older than recorded his
tory, older even than civilization.
1t can not be rooted out; it's
roots run back too far.
And why AhouId you want to
root it out?
The greatest Teacher that ever
lived spent half His time telling
stories to His disciples. with
out a parable "a story He

stories have transformed
humanity.

own country, "UncIe Toms

Good stories will not hurt
your boy; they may, if he is
the right kind of boy, inspire
him to real achievement.
And they will do something
else for him, equally important.
They will develop his magma
