Former Vice. President Charles

fine picture Of the New England

ter the landing Of the Pilgrim Fathers

more than that. It is an epic Of
American life In the early and later
days Of the Middle West
Most Of rs In this busting modern
day are "too busy to bother with the
old folks" We sort OF assume that
they have nothing for us. But the

SO Johnny is afraid to 60 walking
In the woods. He regards them with
suspicion and actually refuses to set

bad. # you begin to be as careful
Is that about all the things which
might possibly hurt you you may as
well permanently take to your bed.
OF course. there are individuals TO
whom certain common poisonous
plants cause genuine illness, but they
are rare. Most Of us let the pos
sibility Of q little physical discom-
fort interfere with MI own and the
children's summer fun much more
than It should.
Don't educate your children to such
fear Of poison ivy that. on the theory
that all vines are guilty until proven
innocent, they steer clear of virginia
creeper and make wide detours
around . tree trunk to which the
pleasant woodbine clings.
Don't let your own concern for
your children's health develop in them
q disproportionate preoccupation with

In them q wholly foolish timidity and
an absurd fear Of the sort Of every
day hazards which r q part Of
normal life.
Caution your children against
touching poison ivy, but don't make
them afraid Of It. Teach them to
recognize any common poisonous
plant which they are likely to meet
In their rambles, but don't cultivate
In them q distrust Of the whole green
countryside.

AN L COMPLAINT

If you study ancient history you sometimes learn some
curious things. Prof. James H. Breasted, director Of the
Oriental Institute of the University Of Chicago, has found
that the Egyptians Of 1000 B. G. had political and social
problems just like our own.
In politics. they were using the cry Turn the rascals
out" and wondering If it would ever be possible to set up
. government that would be both just and efficient.
In their social organization they were despairing Of
the future and bewailing the sins of the younger gener-
alton. the follies Of the rich and the general uselessness
OF trying to improve the lot or raise the intelligence Of
the ordinary man.
Professor Breasted reveals that the Egyptians Of 1900
years ago. crying for q governmental housekeeping.
we're completely confident that il only the rascals who
sat in high places could be ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS they had
treacherous cabinet Members and nit wit representatives,
even in those days-everything would be serene. forever
after.
How little could these earliest social dreamers foresee
that after 1000 years their spiritual posterity would still
BE looking fondly for = new ase-after they had turned
the rascals out!' he remarks thoughtfully.
Probably these ancient Egyptians finally succeeded in
throwing their set Of rascals out. just as we. from time to
time, have done: and afterwards, beyond doubt. they were
puzzled and disillusioned to observe that things went
on much as before. For one of the hardest things in the
world to understand is the fact that oil human progress
Is made very gradually. It is seldom visible to the naked
eye. Sometimes, indeed. it looks like the reverse Of
progress.
But, after all, we do move forward. We still have the
same problems that tormented the Egyptians 1000 years
ago; but We are handling them just . bit better. There
is a shade more happiness in the world now than there
was then: a trifle less cruelty. ignorance and malice.
These old Egyptians dreamed shining dreams Of a reign
Of Justice. freedom and peace. They never saw their
dreams fulfilled; and we. 1000 years after their time, have
not seen them fulfilled either. But the important thing
IS that the dreams have persisted. We still have them.
and We are still ~clinging to them.
Despite all the pessimism that is so popular nowadays,
Ne have somehow managed, in these 10 centuries. to edge
just a little bit closer to that fulfNlment. And every man
who dreams the old dream and hopes the old hope is. by
the mere fact Of dreaming and hoping. making the way
q little bit smoother for the next 40 centuries.

Answer-spices and condiments

and It they are used at all they should
be used at q meat meal. Those who
suffer from hyperacidity already have
more acid than they know what to do
with, and anything which will excite

acid Is bad for them.

PROBLEM OF THE OCCIDENT

A prominent churchman pleads for q slackenins of
science and invention until moral progress learns to keep
pace with Intellectual advance. The author of Eccles.
tastes toca note Of the fact that God made man upright,
but that he has since sought out many inventions. Mans
first disobedience in Eden, carrying with it the birth Of
the moral problem. was essentially IN act Of that restless
curiosity, that itch for experimentation, which is science.
An embargo on science until the moral consciousness
can. catch up with invention is the permanent answer.
Let him forswear the use Of his machines for the pur-
poses OF war. let him concentrate on the arts of peace.
and what happens? The arts Of peace are precisely ex-
Fermentation. discovery. invention. Man will devise
newer and more ingenious machines for the advancement
Of life. and in q moment Of moral breakdown will turn
them to the purposes of q more ingenious and elaborate
war.
The real moral problem consists in mans striving to
Keep ethtcally abreast with his own restless inventions
without quite succeeding. Moralists agree that when
there IS no temptation there is no high virtue. With no
instruments Of mischief lying about. the merit Of keeping
out Of war Is not striking. Character and morals as the
western world has learned to understand them are not
the product OF an Arcadian environment, but demand for
their exercise an unstable equilibrium. The Orient has
closed the gap between ethics and progress by ceasine
20 invent. The problem Of the Occident is how to forge
steei without turning 1t into cannon and to invent
chlorine without employing 1t in the trenches.

4 PEST BRINGS RICHES

The lowly rabbit. which used to be the chief pest Of
farmers in New Zealand and Australia, is now providing
those people with q good deal Of prosperity.
When rabbits we're first introduced into the lands down
under, they nearly ate the farmers out of house and home
So rapidly did they multiply that crops were devastated.
Farmers used to organize great drives to round them up
and exterminate them.
Then someone discovered that America was a marvel
Gus market for felt hats. And rabbit skins are used in
the making Of felt. So, now, according to Major w. H.
assistant secretary Of the Bush Terminal in
Brooklyn, many ~shiploads of rabbit skins reach New York
annually from New Zealand and Australia, to make hats
for the American head.
The result, of course, is that the same farmers who
used to curse the rabbit are now making money off of
him. and the ships that bring the pelts to this country are
taking back autos, radios, plumbing quipment and other
adjuncts to prosperity.

DISC RACEFUL SCENE STAGED
 BY STUDENTS
Actors Are Pelted and War Dead Cenotaph Is
 Desecrated

SYDNEY, Australia, May 23.T Feeling is high here today against university students who caused a near-riot last night during a stu dent rag when they visited a theatre and pelted the performers with rotten fruit, howled down the Vice-Chancellor of the university and threw fire crackers at the President of the Under-Graduates Association who tried to restore order.
 One actor was struck by rotten tomato and jumped into the aud- fence and took as many of the students as he could reach and gave them terrific walloping.
 The students then went into the street and started parade. One group stopped at the war dead cenotaph and removed some wreaths.
 The police finally broke up the procession.
 Returned soldiers are incensed over the dissertation of the ceno- taph.

 The peoples to be sold in Juneau have arrived and will be sold here next week prior to Memorial Day under the auspices of the American Legion Auxiliary,
 Disabled veterans have been mak- ing the flowers for the past year They were paid a cent each and in every instance the men chosen to make them were those receiving the least governmental aid and having the greatest responsibilities
