XXTU, and DR.. Tenney L. Davis of

Technology, who has been COL
laborating with him, write:
"Yin, according to Liang, orig
inally had the meaning of covering
the sun with clouds.
1T came to mean shaded, dim,
beclouded, and since Chinese cities
generally we're laid out with prin-
cipal entrance on the southern side,
it meant the northern or shaded
side Of the city, the interior, the re-
verse, and the north side of a
mountain.
1.-THE word Yang originally signi-
fed the bright aspect Of banners
fluttering at SUNRISE but it soon
acquired the meaning of the bril-
liancy Of the sun, hence sunlight,
warmth, the face-side, the exterior,
the south side Of city or of a
mountain.
1.-THE cOuplet Yin-Yang was used
to signify opposites, such as north
and south, reverse and diverse, and
this was without magical conotation
and without the belief that the OPP
posites were scientific categories by
which the endless diversity Of ma
ture might be understood and
classified.
1.-THE words Yin and Yang, more
over, were used separately more
often than they were used together.
THE notion Of Yin-Yang, how
ever, gradually became extended
until in the writings of the Taoists
and alchemists it appears as a
fundamental genealogical concept
having innumerable fantastic asso-

slight and the protection well worth
while.
Physicians recommend that toxin
antitoxin immunization be per-
formed before the child is / year
old. They therefore recommend
that not only the school children,
but even those of pre-school age be
given the benefit Of immunization.
Diphtheria takes the greatest toll
among children who have not yet
reached 6 years of age.
In many cities and towns im1nu-
nization of children has been per-
formed by health departments as a
demonstration of what can be &C
complished for the control of this
disease. This demonstration has
proved conclusively the value of
The method.
It now remains for every family
to ask the family physician to take
care of the individual child if this
procedure has not been accom-
plished already through one of the
demonstrations.

Editor Times-In your editorial,
pests Beyond the Pale" all you
said was true and you are to be
complinented on your courage to
say so. Many editors fear they will
lose a subscriber if they tell the
truth.
But in your editorial along the
line of neighborhood nuisanceS
please call attention to:
The fellow who owns radio and
plays it until o'clock in the morn
ing. Seemingly he thinks he plone
owns one of these noise makers,
for he turns on all the volume it
possesses. Usually these loud per-
formances are made when party
is in progress, then the guests try
to drown out the radio and play a
poor second.
Also, why can't the police detect
feathers in neighborhood and de-
duct that some fiat dweller is max
ing booze. Odor Of the burning rub
Dish is thought to kill odor Of the
mash.
Also, why does the city permit
parking On either side of street
less than twenty-four feet wide?
And when fiat to the curb parking
is. authorized. why doesn't it become
a law violation to park closer than
| three feet to another machine, Sc
the parked car can be moved with
out destruction to it or CARS front
or rear? Make it a heavy fine to
move another car so one more can
be parked in the line like sardines
in a tin.
After a drinking bout-most gen.
orally in apartmentS-why do the
people, on leaving in the wee, small
hours of morning. continue to cry
back to their host "when will we
meet again?" They stagger around
to find their cars-race the motors
for several minutes before starting,
then tumble with the clutch and
start away, making more racket
than a general fire alarm.
Also, why is all-night parking
permitted on streets, particularly
narrow east and west cross streets
Thousands of cars are parked in
this mans town and few display
parking lights.
Why don't the police enforce the
city ordinance that says nc one can
park nearer than three feet to en-
trance of ones private drive? II
is no uncommon thing to see cars
parked half Way across a private
drive. Make these incidents pun
ishable with a fine, and fine the
guilty ones.

SCIENCE
Modern Theories of the Phys
icaL Universe Are the Echo
of an Old Chinese Philo-
Soph cab Idea.
BY DAVID DIETZ

NEODERN theories Of the physi-
Iva cal universe hold that every
thing is constructed Of two entities,
the positive and negative electron.
These are the units, respectively, Of
positive and negative electricity.
1t is interesting to note that this
extremely modern scientific idea is
in many ways The echo Of an old
Chinese philosophical ideal which
sprang up at least 500 years before
the Christian era.
The modern idea sees the funda-
mental particles Of matter as con-
sisting of two contrary kinds, one
perhaps the mirror image Of the
other.
The old Chinese idea was that the
whole universe was based on two
contrary principles. This doctrine,
which took shape at about the time
of Confucius, who lived from 551 to
479 B. c., became known as the
doctrine of Yin-Yang.
A discussion of the doctrine Of
Yin-Yang by a modern Chinese
scholar, Chi-Ch'ao Liang, recently
has been translated into English
by Lu-Ch'iang WI Of the Massa-
chusetts Institute Of Technology.

That Fear of Age

DR. JOHN B. WATSON. psy-
II chologist and advertising ex-
pert, does not think that business
and higher education have done
much more to improve women than
the ballot.
In his opinion the European won-
an, who has been held down by con-
vent schooling and arranged mar
riage, takes on a superior dignity
at 80, while the American woman of
30, having been free and uncha-
peroned since she was Is, is the vic-
tim of an inferiority complex con-
corning her age. and walks in fear
Of her 20-year-old companions.
Whether one agrees with DR..
Watson or not, it is a fact that the
use Of cosmetics and other artificial
means of creating or preserving fe-
male beauty has increased in equal.
if not greater, proportion to the
number of women in college and in
business.
To put it bluntly, the more Wom-
en- know, the more they seem to feel
the need of paint, and the freer
they are, the less inclined they seem
to appear as God Almighty made
them.

other states pay, and then do as

Brutal FrankneSS

DUT 1 am glad that it seldom falls
ID into my province to say any
thing about talking pictures. That's
where friendship must cease and
brutal frankness begin.
In the case of an actress on the
legitimate stage the reviewer gen.
orally avoids reference to the shape
of her nose and the architectural
symmetry of her eyes. But these
things can not be CLOSED over when
a face some forty or fifty feet high
is flashed upon the screen.
Tt becomes incumbent upon the
critic to say whether it is a good
face or an adequate one. He must
express an opinion even if he knows
nothing about faces.

SIGNING OF CONSTITUTION

September II
ON Sept. II, 1887, the convention
~ of delegates from twelve of the
thirteen states in the Union signed
the Constitution of the United
States in Independence hall, Phila-
delphia.
Rhode Island alone was unrepre-
sented at the sessions under Presi-
dent Washington. Four months
work was required to complete the
Constitution, with the exception of
the amendments, in the form in
which We have it today.
The work of the delegates was
approved promptly by congress. and
at the close of the following year
had been adopted by eleven of the
states and placed in operation
among them.
The other two states, North Caro-
lima and Rhode Island, ratified the
Constitution and entered into the
American Union in 1889 and 1870,
respectively.
The Constitution replaced the ar
ticles of confederation by which the
Inflated union of the thirteen orig
inal states was held together from
1779 to 1889.
The articles vested no real au-
thority in the common representa-
tives of the several commemorative.

No Steam in Punches

NO Steam IN PunCl6S
IT is only fair to say that, on the
L whole, actors and authors and
the rest take even the bitterest re-
views in good part. Indeed, for
many years I was abashed at my
inability to make anybody vince.
even when I tried to fire straight
between the eyes from distance
Of twenty feet.
In particular 1 remember going
after a popular preacher with NAL
ice in my heart. 1 wrote what
seemed to me scalding words.
After keeping it up for month
or so I received a note from him.
Here at last would be a howl Of
anguish and resentment from one
whose hide had been pierced by my
artillery. But it wasn't.
The preacher said that my ar
ticleS had amused and interested
him very much and wouldn't come
and have luncheon with him.
OF course, it's much easier to write
unfavorable notices than good ones.
Every great play I ever have seen
has left me gasping and without an
adjective.
Enthusiasm is one of the most
difficult things to indicate in writ
ing. You can't review a play by
just saying: Murray! Hurray! This
is greatl I'll say this is some
tragedy"
And yet your articulate expression
is very apt to fall into just trite
terms when your whole inner self
has been stirred deeply by the sound
of genius.
And I am not helped by the fact
that the author whose work I don't
like generally is one of the most
charming people in the world when
I come to meet him. All the most
terrible books know were written
by delightful men and women.
This is particularly true about
poetry. If the verse is awful you
may depend upon it that the poet
will prove to be some girl who's a
perfect knockout.

Scientific Investigators are con-

They are convinced that deaths
from diphtheria, even when it is
acquired through contagion, may be
prevented largely if good antitoxin
is given early and in sufficient
amounts.
Nevertheless the disease continues
to occur with startling regularity
and deaths are reported each year
from every state.
Last year in Iowa there were
thirty -four deaths from this cause.

NEAYBE you feel, as deeply as I
1V1 do, that it is very hard to be a
columnist. The dramatic critic may
get himself disliked by actors, au-
thors may be at the throat of the
book reviewer, while politicians wait
in ambush for the editorial writer,
but the columnist is likely to incur
the anger of all three groups as well
as many others.
It is his job to comment on things
in general and no man may speak
freely without treading on some
toes. And sooner or later, at some
party the columnis6 will suddenly
meet face to face the actress whose
performance he assaulted, the author
whose book he tore to pieces.

social amenities to say How do you
do? I've heard so much about you"
I have felt distinctly sorry for the
