jections to the doctrine of trans

Einstein objects to action at

jected to the notion that evolu-
ton proceeds by big jumps or
sudden large changes. But de
Vries has taken the step in
biology similar to that of Planck

that nature sometimes does

Planck believes that energy pro

De Vries maintains that

single new step. Whereas he
recognizes that these new steps.
while OF large size occasionally,
are infrequent, he nevertheless
believes that herein only is to
be diScerned the true origin of
species. This is a revolutionary
conclusion, and has proved the
incentive to prolonged research.

by no means a new discovery.
1t is believed that Aristotle was
aware of their existence. The
very theory of mutations was
outlined by the brilliant author
Of the "Religio Medici," Sir
Thomas Browne. who actually
employed the same term which
de Vries used. Following his
illustration of the operation of
this principle with reference
to the coloring of animals and
the human race, Browne says:
"All which mutations, however
they began, depend upon
durable foundations, and such

Have You Learned to Make Up Your Mind?
By Elsie Robinson

IND you have a terrible time
~ trying to decide whether
you'll buy the blue hat or the
brown, Mary? Do you get all
ratified when they try to rush
your vote on some business
problem, Bill? Are you always
choosing the wrong plan, or
picking the wrong plan, and
then wishing you hadn't?
Probably, if you re the aver
age human, you are. And it's
also possible that you think
that difficult decisions are just
regular part of the pesky
business of living. They aren't.
Making decisions shouldn't be a
burden to any adult. We can
learn to decide quickly. with
out dwadling or friction or
fuss, just as we can learn to
walk or talk or use our, hankies.
Why does it bother you to
make decisions? Because part
of you is still baby. A baby
lever knows what to grab. First
he wants the red ball. Then he
wants the yellow ball. And,
whichever he gets, he promptly
wants the one he didn't. And
generally ends up in a tantrum.
A baby can't help being that
way. Ali the little mammals
before him we're that way. He's
just starting to be human. He
can't think like a man yet
he thinks like a mammal, in

The Mutations Theory
BY Archibald Henderson, Ph.D., Del, LID.
Famous Scientific Authority.

IN the fields Of biology and
Il physics have occurred, within
recent years. certain extraordi.
nary developments which bear
a striking analogy to each
other. The uuantum theory is
at variance with the doctrine
of continuity, which presup-
poses that physical changes
take place by infiniteSimal
gradations. The relativity
theory is, likewise, opposed to
the classic concept of action
at a distance" associated with
the Newtonian theory of gravi-
tation.
In the field of biology, the
mutations theory is at variance
with the Darwinian concept of
continuity. Darwin studied
those striking variations fanni-
liarly known as sports" which
are now technically known as
mutations" He believed that
organic evolution proceeded by
minute variations, one form
changing gradually into an
other form, but slightly differ
ing from it. Although sports"
bore the appearance of being.
the origins of new species,
Darwin rejected this notion,
since it ran counter to his wide
ranging theory of adaptation to
environment.
Toward this problem, Huxley
appears to have been more
open-minded than Darwin.
Mr.. Darwin'S position might,
we think, have been even
stronger than it is" said Hux-
ley, "if he had not embarrassed
himself with the aphorism, Ma
tura non facit Saltum," which
turns up so often in his pages.
We believe that nature
does make jumps now and then,

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by Dr.. Louis z. Bisch-

WHEN a person has an at
w tack of indigestion its does
not mean, necessarily, that the
real seat of the trouble is in
the stomach, or even in the
intestines.
Indeed. considerable confu-
sion exists as regards indiges-
tion-technically meaning the
"nondigeStion" Of food-al-
though as such symptom Of in
digestion is probably second
in frequency only to the symp-
tom Of headache.
It must be borne in mind
that the stomach Is, after all,
merely a kind Of reservoir into
which various kinds OF food are
mixed and churned and that
the stomach plays only a pre-
liminary role in the final di-
gestion of the food.
The intestineS are more i'm
portant. really, as are also the
secretions of the liver (bile)
and of the pancreas tpancre-
attic juice) than are the gastric
juices so far as absorption and
general nutrition of the body
are concerned.
Even if the Stoma / does not
do its work properly for a time
no serious damage is likely to
result.
And, incidentally, the stom-
ash is placed well up under the
ribs on the left side and it
should not be confused with the
abdomen-alSo known as the
belly-in which the intestineS
lie.
That the stomach can give
trouble there can be no question,
Too much acid (hyper-chlorhy.
dria) or too little acid Chypo-
chlorhydria) are not uncommon.
Pain in the stomach may be
present after eating or before
eating. Gas may form. There
may be heartburn or sour eruc-
tationS.
But what I want to emphasize
is the fact that stomach distress
may not mean stomach disease.
Almost half the cases that
complain of indigestion are due
to disease or temporary dis
order of other organs which
are not even near the stomach,
so far as anatomical position
goes.
For instance, heart disease
may give stomach symptoms.
So may kidney disease. But
tonsils may do it or any other
infection of the mouth, such as
decayed teeth. tuberculosis of
the lungs may cause indiges-
ton. Even eyeStrain has been
known to upset the stomach.
Then again, as disorders
which cause indigestion, yet
where the stomach and intes-
tinal tract are really normal.
may be mentioned ovarian and
tube trouble in women, gall
bladder disorders, and a dis
eaSed appendix.
And perhaps topping the list
of remote causes for stomach
upsets should be mentioned
nervous affections.
The stomach and, of course,
the intestines as WELL: are inti-
mately connected with the
nervous system.
Anyone can bear witness to
the fact that worry will cause
stomach or abdominal distress.

THREE-MINUTE JOURNEYS
By Temple Manning

0NE Of the oldest ports on
" the Caribbean Sea is Car
tagena, Colombia. And one Of
the most beautiful. It is a city
one can't forget, a city to
which one will return as often
as he can.
AS one sails into the harbor
past the moss-covered forts
which have at various times
withstood the attacks by the
navies of England, France and
Spain, to say nothing Of the
rowing armadas # buccaneers,
one Is impressed with the pic
ture. The bow of the ship
cuts through deep, green water
"a most glorious foreground
for the glittering town with its
white or lightly tinted walls,
is towers and minarets.
One has difficulty in classi-
flying Cartagena. 1t is a COM
posite. There is much of the
Old World, some of the Orient
and much of the American
tropics.
Landing at one of the quays,
one is amidst a scene typical
of South American ports. Two
wheeled carts, pulled by re-
1uctant donkeys, clatter along,
their dusky drivers garbed, in
white (often rather soiled)
suits and straw hats. Crates
and boxes of all sorts, and
shapes, tropical fruits and vege-
tables, what-not;; all are being
loaded and unloaded from the
dug-outs, sailing ships and
steamers in the harber and
alongside the quays. 1t is a
scene of confusion. p
The Washington times., 1930-03-20

But as one ventures further
into the city. this scene changes
to one of quiet. There is seldom
much animation in Cartagena's
streets. The MONDAY sun pours
down relentleSSly, sending most
of the people into their homes
or to the cool patios.
In the residential part of the
older section Of the city, the
houses are low and heavily
built. The strongly barred win
dows face on streets which are
none too straight and, as often
as not, scarcely paved. In the
old business section there are
sidewalks of a sort and fairly
decent paving. But the streets
are crooked. Many of the side
walks are arcaded, with bal
comics on the second floor.
Possibly one of the most in
teresting relics in Cartagena is
the house of the Inquisition,
built in 1865. Until a few
years ago it was possible to
visit the cells and rack rooms
where so many were tortured
and killed by the jealous monks
whose task it was to convert
the natives and negroes. to
Christianity.
Still another fascinating relic
Of the old history of the city
is the wall which rings the
town. These old rampartS are
turreted here and there and
every once in a while a bastion
breaks the even masonary. A
modern gateway crowned by a
clock tower has been built into
one part of this old wall.

THE MARRY
GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland.

Both Sides Of the LOve-Game
7 OVE-MAKING is an art, for
- which many boy of twenty
shows a natural genius, while
many a seasoned wording
never seems to master its sim
plest rudiments.
Getting married is, to a
woman, a premeditated felicity;
but a man must be in an
awfully reckless mood to get
any JOY out Of his own we'd
ding.
It wouldn't be so bad If a
flapper would simply steal your
husband and be done with it;
but this continually borrow
ing" him and then returning
him is what gets on Wife'S
nerves.
Synthetic love starts in the
pocket-flask and makes the
head go round; real love starts
in the head and makes the
heart go round.
Perjury becomes just second
nature to woman, after a few
years of household economy.
If she isn't hiding from a
penurious husband how much
she's spending, she's lying to
a spendthrift husband about
how much she's saving.
The modern youth appears to
spend almost as much time and
energy thinking up ways to dis
courage the women, as his
father spent in deviSing ways
to win them.
A woman's love is never dead,
until she gets tired Of "forgiv-
ing" a man, and begins learn
ing to forget him.
A man who will calmly and
bravely face a burglar who
points a gun at him, will run
like a frightened deer from a
woman who laughs at him.
A woman may love every hair
of a mans head-but not those
she finds on his coat-lapel.
