though the zonng movement did not start until decade

The Future of the Race
By Archibald Henderson

by some scientist, it may ulti.
mately develop the faculty If
realizing irnaginatively, as well
as logically, the fourth dimen-
sion.
In response to the belief that
the appendix was an entirely
useless organ, innumerable peo-
pie have had their appendices
removed. Distinguished scien-
fists today recognize that the
appendix is by no means an
entirely useless organ.
Nature is rnarvelously in
genious and economical. She
succeeds somehow in putting
vestigial organs to work an i
makes them perform useful
functions in the human body.
Man is at the mercy of his
genes, to put it scientifically.
The inheritance of characters
and evolutionary emergence of
characters depend on genes.
Bateman goes so far as to
say that "the hope that by
change in the conditions Of life
or by any external influences
significant alterations, whether
of organisms amenable to ex-
pertinent or of the human
population, must be aban-
doned."
To date eugenics has accom-
plished little save in mega
tive or prohibitory direction.
1t is generally agreed that. in
the present state of scientific
knowledge. 1t would be folly to
attempt to breed human be-
ings for special features.
"If there were q central di.
recting agency which had the
power as well as the wisdom
to control mating within the
group" SAYS Prof. Cattell,
something could undoubtedly
be done slowly to elevate the
general average Of bodily vigOr
and innate power within the
group.
"This could be done most
rapidly by polygamy, which
would permit Of a relatively
rigid selection of Sires; less
rapidly under monOgamy by a
selection of parents among
both sexes"

Listen, World!
BY Elsie Robinson

Have ladies lost their roman
tic attractions?
Is romance becoming impos-
sible between modern men and
women?
Count Keyserling, famous
German philosopher, says they
have and it is.
Love is lying on its death
bed =" in Europe today,
love has become openly unmod.
ern from now on love
is to exist no more The
boyish bob, the changed figure,
the wearing OF glasses, the de-
struction Of all that Is provoca-
tive Of love by exposure to wind
and weather, the rt-fury-all
these are the external signs in
the change of feminine struc-
ture e" independent young
women have caught the spirit
of the age and this
brings with it the progressive
atrophy of all the character
istics which define the woman
as a love being :"
Don't agree with him? Well,
you might as we'll, for he's
right. There isn't a doubt that
old-fashioned romance is
doomed. For no modern girl
with an ounce of gumption is
going to cultivate the qualities
which made ladies lovely to the
boys Of yesterday.
What were those qualities?
Weak eyes, for one thing, &C.
cording to Count Keyserling.
And likewise weak spines. Why
was the clinging vine so popu-
lar? Because she made any
wayside weed look like a sturdy
oak by comparison. Men didn't
really respect the Clinging
Vine. They were grateful to
her for making things so
simple for them. And it's but
natural that gentlemen should
prefer boobies and resent the
Regular Intelligence which
makes them hustle.
"But the woman of yesterday
wasn't always a booby!" No,
but she was always a bankrupt,
which, when it comes to get
ting your rights, amounts to
the same thing. Why did
Grandma stick by Grandpa re-
gardless? Largely because If
she didn't stick, she had no
place to go. Such loyalty is
economic, not romantic. But,
of course, no complacent hus-
band is going to acknowledge
that!
Which, I repeat, was a mar
velous arrangement for males.
But you can't expect women to
90 on being bankrupts forever,
Just to crafty the Big Boys.
Sooner or later. they were bound
to find their way back to that
free and fair estate which was

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis e. Bisch-

Childhood is subject to ner-
vousness as well as adulthood.
Not all. of couSe, are of serious
moment but a nervous child
bears watching no matter what
the manifestations referable to
the nervous system may be.
Emotional instability is a
condition found among many
children. This does not mean
the ordinary excitement char
acteristic of children while at
play. An emotionally unstable
child is quite different from the
active and high-Spirited young
Ster who is average.
A child should be considered
unstable whose outbursts Of
emotions are excessive or vio-
lent.
Intense weeping or laughter
that approaches the hysterical
belongs in this category.
The interest of children of
this type changes rapidly and
often markedly. They jump
from one thing to another.
They are exceedingly restless
and dissatisfied. They do not
seem really to enjoy anything.
Temper tantrumS are charac-
teristic symptoms. Often man.
ifeStations of cruelty toward
animals and other children are
to be seen. But very restless
sleep is common.
Such children as a rGlle do
poorly at school. not because
they are not bright but because
they cannot concentrate. In
fact, their native intelligence
may be of a high order. Mem.
ory, often Is also poor.
Excessive dreaming should
also be suspected as being Of
nervous origin. Nightmares are
the rule. The dreams are very
mixed up and bizzare. The child
may awaken tired in the morn
ing from such marked brain &C.
tivity.
Talking during sleep Is an.
other symptom of a nervous
system that is too keyed up.
Twitching and jerky move
ments Of the body as well. as
sleep starts, which may awaken
the child, are likewise nerve
manifestations.

persuaded females to get in
ferior and act romantic.
And now they're back. Regu-
lar citizens again! Human Be-
ings once more as well as Love
Beings" viii they. can they,
regard their men as their
grandmothers did? No.
It is not possible for men
and women to become equals
and remain lovers in the old,
romantic sense. But it is
possible for them to love in q
new and incomparably more
honest and understanding sense.
And I suspect that this Is actu-
ally the first real love that men
and women have ever expert
enced.
It isn't as decorative as the
old romantic masquerade. It
won't stand for as much non
sense-for it doesn't have to.
It will be much more demand
ing of real action-and If love
does not show results it's apt
to bolt. But 1t will be the most
honest and civilized relationship
that the human race has ever
attempted. And one hour OF
such free, self Prospecting COM
panionship will do more for
human development than an
aeon of la-de-la.

One Of the great dreams
which obsess the philosophers
and scientists of today is the
perfectibility of the human
species. Is it possible for man,
by taking thought, to add one
cubit to his stature?
# we seek to produce more
beautiful women, what assur-
ance have we that they will
not be beautiful but dumb"
How shall we proceed, through
scientific means. to develop,
to evolve, a higher race Of
beings? What mighty poten-
tialities, as yet undeveloped,
lurk buried in the physiolo ogical
organism of man?
These are questions which
the euge1istS, in recent years,
have brought prominently to
public attention. Nietzsche has
said: mot only onward shalt
thou propagate thyself but
upward ..l
TO this problem, the study
of evolution thus far offers no
practical solution. The evolu-
zionist sees little room for any
radical development of the
human body. Progress in that
direction seems to have ceased.
Scientists have discovered
many survivalS, inside the hui
man body, which appear to
serve no useful purpose.
.Wiedersheinn notes, among
more than hundred such YES
tiges, the flnctionless muscles
Of the ear, and the little, fold
Of epitheliurn at the corner cf
the eye. Yet it is unwise to
leap too hastily to the conclu-
sion that certain parts Of the
human body are entirely use
less, merely because we have
not yet discovered the role
which they actually play in the
economy Of human life.
Consider the tiny pineal
gland, which until recently was
regarded as an entirely useless
affair, a survival from some
exceedingly remote reptile an.
cestor. Yet recent discoveries
show that it is an endocrinal
gland with important functions.

Wants All Wives Barred
From Employment Outside


Editor. Times:
In your paper Of July 20, I
think you printed an article
dated Winnipeg, July 10,
headed: Canada Moves to
Gust Wives from All Jobs"
This seems to be G. great re-
lief toward the unemployment
condition, and should be given
thought by the industries Of the
United States. When a man
marries he should be in posi-
ton to provide for his wife. I
know of a number Of cases in
which man and wife are work
ing, and with their combined
salaries they buy radios, auto
mobiles and other luxurles,
while the married man with a
family is earning a smaller sal
ary than the married woman,
his wife is home doing around
Is hours daily, end they don't
have enough to live on decently.
On the other hand, there are
any number of married men
who have no employment at all,
but are willing to work. This
unemployment condition has got
to be corrected, and it is UP to
someone to find relief for such
a condition.
Your paper would be a good
one to start. If through your
columns you could get industries
lined up as the Canadians are
doing, think the condition
would be greatly relieved. and
the people of this country would
again find time to discusss pro-
hibition instead of unemploy-
ment as they are now doing,

Declares Gold Production

Editor, Times:
A well-edited business bulle-
tin out of Chicago would make
better business throughout the
nation by developing some in
dustry that will fire the imagi-
nation of our spenders and our
savers. The bulletin says we
need some industry into which
our savings can be placed to
produce something which many
men long for. If in the max
ing or production of that some
thing multitudes of men will
find good pay, so much the
better.
That Chicago writer may not
know it but he is pointing di-
rectly toward the gold-mining
industry. Gold makes better
business as is evidenced in Col
orado, Nevada, California,
Alaska and Virginia also dur
ing the periods Of great produc-
ton. The slowing up of min
ing came when easy wealth
was available from wartime
profiteering. The war brought
on greatly enlarged manufactur-
ing facilities that has resulted
in overproduction and the pres
ent slump in business. Billions
of dollars we're lost by the
American public in the stock
market panic of last fall. No
one was protected from that
crash. Organizations designed
