Reason

IF John Howard Payne, who wrote
Il Home, Sweet Home" could re-
turn, he would find the object OF
his alteration remodeled beyond
recognition, as all have known for
some time, and as DR.. Ogburn OF
the University of Chicago points
out in his address before the Amer
lean Sociological Society, but we do
not concur in the conclusion that
all the changes are bad.
Evolution always did disturb the
status quo and had evolution had
personality it would have persisted
and you and I would reside this
evening in the dear old cave where
our unmanicured ancestors did light
housekeeping.
Change has been constant, like
wise constantly abused, each age
with egotism regarding each de-
partnent from it's ways as an ex-
cursion to depravity.
Il
DR.. Ogburn states that one Of five
marriages will end in divorce.
If this means diScarding of the
fireside idea, it is ominous; but if it
means a growing unwillingness to
endure injustice behind closed doors
it is good, for society has no greater
liability than a home which cans
up hate, and life no greater crime
than raising children in a hell on
earth.
The doctor tells us we are living
out and eating out great deal and
turning to apartments with their
conveniences and away from old
fashioned detached homes, all of
which he thinks is evil.
We would be more impressed with
the fall of the home" had we not
heard of it failing" ever since we
were born.
The home 'fell' once more when
mothers stopped making clothing
for the children out Of the garments
Of their elders. also when they
ceased cutting miles of carpet rags
and weaving them into carpets, also
when fathers and mothers went
out of the hair cutting business and
when they ceased manufacturing
remedies for the conventional all
ments of the family.

PEOPLE ARE NOT
NECESSARILY GOING
y q ~
TO THE DEVIL

DR. oGBURN points out that
~ restaurants, walters and bak-
cries are increasing three or four
times as much as population, but
we do not abandon hope for the
fireside on this account.
We do believe there is a happy
medium between the kitchen life
imprisonment of the past and the
excessive domestic buck-passing of
the present.
Since bakeries, restaurants and
walters are to play a more impor-
tant part in our lives, the situation
calls for legislation.
Bakeries should be compelled to
keep the flies off the doughnuts;
restaurants should be forced to hand
out less slippery knives and forks
or furnish husking gloves, while
walters, by threat of long imprison-
ment, should be made to refrain
from playing with their hair or I'M
screwing their warts while taxing
a customers order.

Defense Against Dangers
No. 25O-

THE BONES comprise the framework of the hui
i man body. The flesh of the body is composed of
the muscle tissues There is tendency to think of
muscle something separate from flesh. This is a
mistake. The muscles are the desh 1t is the mus
ces which give the contour to the and legs and
the rest of the body.
The skin provides the outer covering of the body
In physiology, any organization which defin-
lite purpose is known as an organ Thus, the term
gan includes the eye the ear, the hand or the
foot, or the heart or the lung, and SO on.
On this basis the skin is organ It is the largest
organ of the body.
The skin serves an important purpose 1t separates
the human body from the rest of the universe.

7RACY
''The Greatest Danger of
Science Lies IN the Fact
That Too Many of It's
Disciples Think of Them
selUes as ReUiUalists."

TINE great scientific gathering
Il now in session at New York
sounds like revival meeting. Pro-
fessor Harry Elmer Barnes of Smith
college, started the performance
when he declared that we must re-
wise our notions of God.
Sunday, found thousand pull
pits ringing with denunciatio~
Cardinal Hayes characterized the
suggestion as an outrage.
Tuesday night, DR.. Henry Fair
fed Osborn, president of the As
ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Scien,e, took occasion to rebuke
Profes sor Barnes as having intro
duced metaphysical, philosophical
and religious subject"
1T was an unwarranted intru-
sion," said DR.. Osborn. HE took
advantage of this great platform
of the american association to give
expression to his own opinions in a
subject which totally was unrelated
to the subjects under discussion"
Wednesday morning discovered
Professor Barnes retorting that his
thesis, having been read before the
History of Science Society and the
Academy of Medicine, was beyond
the jurisdiction of DR.. Osborn.
1.-THE program was devoted to the
relationship between science on the
one hand" said Professor Barnes,
"and philosophy, psychology and re-
ligion on the other, and hence my
paper was highly appropriate.
Maybe SO, but laymen will find it
hard to escape the impression that
Professor Barnes idea of the proper
relationship is to have science, or
more accurately, the particular
school to which he belongs, run re-
ligion.
The indicated corollary is an en-
larged dose of anti-evolution laws.

A Chance to Redeem

The senate has chance to redeem its failure
of last month Thanks to an effective revolt led by
Senators Norris and King before holiday adjourn
ment prolonged delay ir consideration of the Kellogg
anti-war treaty be prevented. The treaty will
come up today.
More than the necessary two-thirds OF the senate
have declared in favor of prompt and unqualified
ratification. Senator Borah and his committee asso-
ciates officially charged with responsibility of getting
favorable action should have difficulty in keeping
the treaty on the floor daily until it is disposed Of
Considering the brevy and clarity of the text, and
the months of official and unofficial discussion one
week should be sufficient for the small opposition to
present its case and permit vote.
The time element is important. moral gesture
such as this treaty loses much of its force through
delay Other signatories withholding ratification
until the United States author of the treaty. has acted
But with the best intent in the world, the senate
may be unable to ratfy if it allows the treaty to get
caught the customary legislative jam at the close
of this short session Hence the imperative need for
immediate action.
American citizens more united on this issue
than on any other public question in our time.
To the limit of their powers, the American execu-
tive and people have joined with ftynine other ma
lions in "renouncing as instrument of national
policy" Why should the senate delay?

Genius and Others

THERE is not so much gloom in
l. the world that no mali should
care to spend any of his leisure in
contemplation Of serious subjects.
But the drama lends itself imper-
fectly to debate.
The case of Shaw will be cited
against me. The first answer ~
that is the undoubted fact that
Shaw is a genius and may do what
he pleases.
1t is also worth remarking that
even in the instance of Shaw his
most appealing plays are those. in
which he tells story and forgets
for a moment the work of educa-
ton. Moreover, the plays of Shaw
are probably read even more than
they are performed.
I'm all for people reading heavy
books and long ones if they like
them. My point merely rests upon
the contention that the forms of
the theater are ill-ftted for the ex-
position of complex and subtle sub
jects.
1 would much rather see a good
musical show than any of the more
weighty offerings, unless it hap
pened to be one of those extremely
rare affairs called great play

Can't Be Wrong

MY belief that a musical show
1V1 is, is generally speaking, more
entertainment than the so-called
legitimate attraction is not a whim
of my own.
This time I take my stand with
the majority. In the middle Of
barren season a number of the
musical attractions are prospecting
about as usual.
SHOW Boat" is the only piece in
town which has any chance ever
to challenge the long run record Of
"Abie's Irish Rose" And ii you see
in any theatrical publication that
something has crossed $4,000 for
a week, you may be sure that the
attraction is not legitimate.
It may be a mere coincidence.
But show business began to decline
about the time that the little thea
ter movement arose with its attend
ant flock of book and play clubs and
study groups.
Once upon time I used to sheer
at the veterans who kept talking
about the golden age of the theater
But now 1 have become convinced
that there may be something iii
what they said.
OF course, some of the plays which
we're held up by these great actors
of the past were rather silly exer-
cises. The actors ceuld wear swords
and lace, and the hero was fully able
to keep at bay at least 100 Of the
cardinals sWordsmcn.
I want to see the drama get away
from the dull green pastures 81
reality and back to the purple land.

Right of Thinking

r IKE every other human being,
~ Professor Harry Elmer Barnes
has the right to believe what he
pleases. If he is dissatisfied with
the Christian God, his is the priv
ilege not only to think it, but to
say it.
What merits Professor Barnes
mature consideration is the fact
that other people enjoy a similar
degree of liberty. If he can be a
missionary, SO can they, and the
final outcome depends on who can
gain the largest number of converts.
If i were a fundamentals, and
wanted to push the movement, write
its ideas on every statute book of
this country, I would pay such men
as Professor Barnes good salaries
and allow them liberal expense &C
counts.
Whether a conflict between
science and religion is necessary, it
can be made, and scientists can con-
tribute just as much in making it as
pulpiteers. Most people do not think
that such a conflict is necessary.
Most people are content to let sci
ence produce creature comforts,
while religion provides spiritual
comforts. Most people believe that
the interest of all concerned would
be best served if scholars and
preachers would let each other
alone.
If driven to it, however, most
people will line up and fight, just as
they always have when their emo
tions and prejudices are stirred, and
the chances are that they will vote
their tradition, rather than their
Judgment.
If that is what Professor Barnes
and his like want, theirs is the
opportunity.

When a hole is worn in the toe of
stocking where does the material
go?
A stocking is composed of small
threads woven together into a warp
and wool crossways. When a stock
ing is stretched over a foot, the ma
terial of which it is composed is
under tension-it is stretched Eric
ton with the shoe wears through
one or more threads, and when
these snap, the tension draws UP the
surrounding threads, just as a rub
Der band, which is stretched, returns

AgnoStic to Science

PERSONALLY, I think of science
l. as beneficial because of its
exactness, as q, medium by which
we proceed from the known to the
unknown, as entertaining theories
for purposes of deduction and ex-
pertinent and as quite beyond the
rule of prejudice.
What a man believes never has
appealed to me as scientific, except
as belief may inspire him to pio-
neer, explore and discover.
Certainly, it is not scientific to
make mere belief the basis for
campaigning against anything.
put such men as Professor
Barnes in the Billy Sunday class.
Whether they realize it, they are
evangelists. Their very efforts to
change religious conceptions are
bound to be religious to the ex-
tent that they depend on what has
no more substantial basis than con-
viction and bias. They believe, moth
ing more. They presume, they sup
pose, they guess, they imagine, but
they do not know.
I am much more of an agnostic
with respect to science than I am
with respect to religion. If a SCI
enlist expects me to believe any
thing, he must prove it. If he is
unable to do so, I do not regard
him as scientist.
To my mind, the strength OF sci
ence lies in its emphasis on facts.
1t must dream, of course, to dis
cover them, and experiment to make
them useful. but it cannot afford
to go beyond them in telling people
what to do. When it does, it ceases
to be the genuine article.

Land of Make Believe

n THINK that only the musical
Il comedy people are faithful TO the
time-tested practices Of the theater.
A stage should be a place where
people play at make.believe. I like
to see them in capes and arnnor,
bearing swords.
There are seemingly insurmount-
able barriers to the complete reali-
zation of naturalism in the tfleater.
When the program says "Act /,
Sadie Cohen'S living-room in an
east side tenement house shortly
after midnight, we know that the
fourth wall of that room will be
down. No reasonable person ex-
poets, or even wants to see a precise
replica of an east side tenement.
Once upon time we used to al
low the playwright many privileges.
He could use asides and have his
heroes and heroines think aloud.
The story which he told did not
have to be alright throughout if
only it were interesting. In seeking
to make their plays true to life the
dramatists have sacrificed all the
glamor which goes with gay I'M
reality.
The musical comedy men alone
are faithful tc the play spirit. They
require and expect the audience ito
use a certain amount OF magma
ton. We all know very we'll that
in real life the words ITO know
you is to love you," do not consti-
tute song cue.
1t is not like the world outside TO
have a gentleman at house party
break into a barytone exclamation
of "This paintings spurious; 1t will
drive me furious" In no we'll
regulated Long Islar.d home do some
twenty of the .semale guests enter
the parlor al regular intervals to do
a toe dance.
But, as yet, I have never seen any
spectator at a musical show leap up
from his seat TO depart with the
loud remonstrance, Nothing like
this ever happened in Great Neck
The musical play begins with the
implied appeal, Lets pretend"
And SO should every play.
