Lady Mary Montagu was noted for
the bitterness of her wit. She INDUCED
a satire that cut like a sword. Thus,
her famous comment: There is only
one reason why ! am glad I am a
woman-1 shall never have to marry
one"
Lady Mary was the liveliest and wit
tiest woman of her time-l689 to 1862.
Her letters. including descriptions of her
Oriental travels, have become an ex-
ceedingly interesting part of English
literature. And she is celebrated for a
service which does immense credit to
her intelligence and fearlessness.
In Turkey, where her husband was
Ambassador, she learned Of smallpox
incubation, usually performed by an
old woman with a large needle. Lady
Mary had lost her only brother by
smallpox and had herself suffered from
1t, losing her eyelaShes. She determined
to introduce incubation into England.
Instead Of being greeted as bene-
factor. she was hailed as a demon.
The clergy actually preached against
her. But having already tried out the
treatment on her son in Turkey, she
was not afrain to subject her daughter
to it in England. The government
deputized commission of four physi-
clans to observe the case. Lady Mary
triumphed, to the benefit of untold
numbers Of her countrymen.
Horace Walpole's implications of her
uncleanliness were made after seeing
her in Italy, Every untidy in dirty
mob, and with uncombed hair" Per-
haps he was unjust. There is famous
anecdote that while she was attending

to tell what they really thong q You
could collect 1900 names equally Vim

1t is simply idle to speak Of proof to
minds that do not understand the ele-
mentS of logic. Proof has nothing to do
with it. These systems flourish because
there is enough dramatic interest in
having your fortune told in one way or
another: in reading signs, or believing
in omens, to keep them alive. Then,
when the notions are put into what
looks like learned form and get into
books and are called system and cite a
few names as authority, this makes an
impression on minds equally unsSilled
In the rudiments Of proof. Then they get
wrapped in high-sounding language like
the paragraph telling us that to the
"illumined" mind there Is truth in
everything which means either nothing
at all or that thinking is mistake.
A belief in astrology may be HARM

take it too seriously, but trying to prove

that the COW jumped over 1t, for both
of which beliefs we have nursery au-

It's a strange world but what makes
It so is the vagaries Of the human mind.
After centuries of struggle by minds of
one type slowly accommodating the facts
of nature and penetrating into the laws
of their being, there energies such
triumph of scientific logic as the radio,
binding the world together by invisible
threads of broadcast speech; and this
awe-inspiring achievement is actually
used to disseminate ideas cherished by
a totally different kind Of mind that
f1ourished in the days of ancient Baby
lonia, and were revived in the darker
ages when the mind went into an
eclipse. What a contrast in the fruits
of the tree of knowledgei
The lesson of it isn't easy to enforce.
We are apt to think that thinking is
thinking and all of it helpful and mer-
itorious when as fact some kinds of
thinking have kept the human race
back as much as other kinds of think
ing have made for progress. The diff
ference is wholly in the kind Of logic
employed. Logic is tough proposition
to make plain to the average mind; to
make plain that some kinds Of think
ing are golden nuggets and others that
look just like merely dross.
The ancient question: What is
TRUTH" may well be restated as;
what is proof?" Logic tells the
answer; tells how the human mind
should think TO reach the truth; But
the human mind isn't a thinking
machine; it's a bundle of desires. and
1t tends to believe what appeals to
those desires. The greatest inped:-
ments to human progress are the i'm
pediments to thought; astrology is just
one example out of hundred, but
rather telling one.
The notion that human fate Is con-
ditioned by the positions OF stars and
planets at the moment of birth IS so
preposterous that it offers absolutely
nothing to discuss: it's like sword cut
ting the thin ART makes no impress
sion. So there remains only the fact
that through the ages here and there a
few men of reputation have expressed
themselves feebly or strongly as inclined
to the belief.

Of 1t. Had 1t not been for the fact

For back in 1895. at the age Of Is,
Norbeck found that he was penniless.
He had worked On farm all Of his
life-the son CT poor Norwegian
Lutheran minister, an immigrant to
this country.
South Dakota was experiencing just
at that time one Of its driest seasons.
Norbeck concluded his opportunity
lay in that field. He secured a part

politics talked in his home, but just as
often had he heard his father warn
him to stay out.
His popularity increased over the
State. Gradually he forgot his father s
remonstrances.
First, he went to the State Senate,
where he served three terms. Then
came one term as lieutenant-governor.
Twice was he elected governor, and in
1920 came to the United States Sen
ate, where he has been ever since.

academy. He had been serving on the
U. g. s. Swatara and later was per-
forming coast survey duty on the
U. S. S. Bache when IN 1888 ne was
ordered to the Nipsic.
The Nipsic was in the farbor at Apia,
Samoa, on the night of March Is. 1883.
With her were the Trenton and the
Vandalia. Also anchored there were
four vessels of the British navy ana
three German warships.
A hurricane of great violence arose
Most of the shipping at ancnor was
completely wrecked. The Trenton ana
Vandalia we're lost. despite the fact that
the officers and crew. Of the Trenton
climbed UP into the rigging and formed
human sail in an attempt to save
their ship.
Aboard the Nipsic Ensign Jones was
officer of the deck of the morning
watch. Upon his shoulders rested the
burden OF experimenting the steering
of his ship properly and carefully for
two lorg hours to prevent another YES
sci from cutting her down.
He did It.. The Nipsic was success
fully beached. and. although badly
damaged, was able to proceed after the
storm had abated.
And after it was all over the COM
manding offlcer reported officially:
He stood bravely at his post by my
side on the poop through all the storm,
rain and volumes of smoke, when at
times we could see but few feet ahead,
as the binding smoke and heat were
simply terrible. Mr.. Jones Is young
officer of great promise, and bids fair
to be of value to the service and his
country"
November IA, 1927, saw the culmina-
ton Of Al years of service to his coun-
try on the part Of Admiral Jones.
Twenty-eight Of those years were spent
in service at sea.
He was retired at that time. but that
did not mean the ending Of his naval
career. He has been available any day
for active duty when needed, either for
consultation or to represent the Navy
at a disarmament session, as he has
done twice before.
Admiral Jones served as member OF
the American delegation to the 1927
Geneva naval conference, and now has
been called back to duty during the
discussions with Great Britain.
Now 66 years old, just as in his Gays
at Annapolis, he is one Of the most
