A RELENTLESS WAR

In its heroic war on the yellow fever tho Rookie !e!,c:

quito which spreads it to darkest Africa. There is evil
dcncc that this disease. long regarded as a New World
product. was i'll reality brought to this hemisphere from
Africa by mosquito larvae which lurkcd in the water jars
of the old slave ships. At any rate. it has been virtually
ciadicatcd on this side OF tho Atlantic, and ii the doctors
arc to realize their hope Of making it as extinct as the
GCdo The great battle will have to be continued in Africa.
1t is one OF the great heroic cpics Of modern times, ono
Of those magnificent achievements which make despair OF
the human race impossible. 1t was only a quarter cen
tlIy ago that American doctors in Cuba proved that the
disease was carried by mosquitoes. Until after the turn Of
the century 1t was one Of those dread scourgcs which
men fear the more for not understanding them.
For centuries yellow fever had annually taken a terrible
toll Of lives in Central America and the tropical portions
Of North and South America. Now Orleans suffered from
periodic cpideynics until 1905. Central America is free of
it for the first time in two and onc-half centuries. There
have been minor outbreaks in Brazil in recent years, but
even there the situation is in control.
However, many difficulties will be encountered b. the

BAD MOTION PICTURES

The contention by certain motion picture producers
that the public is responsible for what is unworthy or
the screen, because the producers try to give the public
what it demands, is only partly right. While tho public
must unqucstionably share in some Of the blame if il
tolcratcs Objectionable pictures, it also has grounds for
complaint against them. The taste for improper pic
lures. may be, in part, an inheritance from the old Adam
but it is also. in part, acquired from poisonous offerings
with which certain producers have bid for patronage.
There are standards of deccncy in the movie" art
that should be observed by producers. regardless OF what
they may think the public demands. The fact that
objectionable films are tolerated docs not excuse thei.
production. The responsibility is on every producing in
dividual and organization and industry serving the public
to observe the demands OF ~propricty. They cannot shift
this responsibility by pretending that tho public is filthy
minded.

DEFEAT

-
One hundred and seventy -four
years ago today, IN July 9, 1755, Gen.
cral Edward Braddock was MORALLY
wounded and his British regulars
routed in a battle near Fort Duquesne
in the French and Indian war.
England sent Braddock to Virginia
to lead an army of British troops
against the French who were claim
ing the Ohio valley. Accompanied by
Colonel Washington. who was later
to lead the continental army. Brad
dock advanced from Fort Cumber-
land and began to climb the rough
ridges of the Alleghenies planning to
attack Fort Duquesne.
Three hundred ax-men cleared the
way. Behind them came the British
regulars. a glittering army of scar
let and steel. Braddock despised the
back-woods method of fighting and
disregarded Washington's warning of
possible ambush.
Suddenly. the English advance was
greeted with a terrific war whoop and
was fired upon from both sides by an
unseen foe, while the French attacked
in front.
Braddock fell, MORALLY wounded,
and the British regulars were cut to
pieces. The virginians. with WASH
ington at their head. saved half the
British army of 1000 men.

MODERN M~ETHUSELAHS

There is an engaging freshness Of viewpoint in the
lively generalization that modern Methuselahs are OF
real interest only to biologists. statisticians, life insurance
companies and the villages in which they first saw the
light"
Age has had its dazzling triumpls, but it is possible to
wonder whether it is always worth it. A study of the
biographies of contemporary centenarians fails to con-
vince one either Of their attractivencss or utility and re-
calls to mind the terrible picture Shaw drew of what
the coming tri-centenarians would be like. It is enough
to inspire to serious thought a civilization which some
times seems to have staked everything on comfort, safety
and vital statistics.
Those pleasingly romantic spcculations as to what
would have happened if Keats had enjoyed the benefits
Of modern medicine too frequently overlook the appalling
results in some people who have enjoyed them.
Many are not in sympathy with the view that the main
job of the doctor and health department is to fill up the
world by frightening the life span. The disquieting re-
sponsibnity assumed by the physicians who keep us alive
is less dramatic than the responsibility of the few who
occasionally kill a human being.
Life Is valuable only for the fine things that can be
created out of it. Safety first is not always the noblest
maxim. and there are some who would still-upon occa-
sion. prefer being sorry-in spite of what the anti acci-
dent publicity experts say.
Might not society, and the Individual, for that matter,
lose more than they would gain if science were to pre-
serve human life for decades after the period of creative
usefulness?

ON THE WAY
The very fact, however," writes

attacking the problem and that fewer

Mrs. Richardson. among other sug-
gestions. suggests that working hours
