Woren engaged destroying United States structures

was he not committed to the Home for the Aged
These agencies supported by the generosity Of the public
would have helped the old for few days at time, but
have ways Of taking care Of such cases permanently And
then suppose pride rebeed at continual ppcaon for

Winter coming on, no price

haywire on the farm. more
thoughts on this Farm Relief
situation.
My ranch is eight miles from
a busy little town Of 5000
glass fronts, striped awnings,
two m movies, pee-wee golf
course n everything. Through
the hills, on the other side of
my ranch, a road runs. It is
a pleasant road, shaded by
great oaks, bordered by streams
beyond which stretch sunny
grazing fields where cattle
range.
For about IS miles this road
runs through the hills, passing
in its course some 20 ranch
houses. Roomy ranch houses,
with big barns adjacent and a
honey clutter Of woodSheds
and washhouses. Life might be
very pleasant for the dwellers
along the road, busy with their
chores, visiting together in the
evenings. But, as a matter of
fact, it isn't. FOR NOT A
SINGLE ONE OF THOSE
HOMES rs TENANTED.
Have the owners died? Have
they failed and did the banks
forecloSe? No-the wners
are very much alive and their
titles are, for the most part,
intact. But-THE WOMEN
FOLK WANTED TO LIVE IN
THE CITY.
It started with the automo-
bileS. Before that, Ma n Pa
went to town a couple Of times
a month in the buggy. A slow,
jogging journey that took all
day. Sometimes, visiting along
the way with a neighbor, ex-
changing geranium slips and
wild gooseberry jam, discussing
"black leg" they spent the
week end. These trips were
great events. For weeks after
they gave food for gossip and
speculation. But. for all that,
they were tiresome. Ma n
Pa were well content to settle
down at home and rest in be.
tween the visits.
Then came the automobile.
The trip that had taken a day
took an hour. The fun and ex-
element that had been a
monthly luxury now became a
daily necessity. Presently. they
were yawning, wondering what
to do with themselves, feeling
sorry for themselves if they had
to spend an evening at home.
Why spend lonely hours on the
porch, looking out over empty
fields, when other women and
other kids were walking the
streets, looking into shop win
dows. stopping in at Burnhams
for a banana special? Or, in
the evening, taking in a movie

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

Often it happens that a per.
son is about to call up a tele-
phone number that he should
know, only to find that he
has forgotten 1t.
Or you meet an old friend
IN the street and instead of
greeting him as Oscar-his real
name-you call him Clarence,
Or still again, you misplace
your glasses, lose your keys,
perhaps even your engagement
or your wedding ring.
I know a young woman who
claimed she was deeply in love.
Surely she looked and acted
happy enough when her fiance
placed q glittering solitaire
upon her finger.
One day, however. she lost
the ring.
And that gave the first hint
that, deep down, she really did
not want to marry.
This may sound fantaStical
and far-fetched. Yet we know
that every faux pas" or slip
or mistake that we make which
apparently we ought not to
make has q hidden meaning.
The meaning usually carries
q wish element with it.
Losing the ring meant the
girl did not actually wish to
marry, although consciously she
did.
In other words, her upcon.
SciouS mind said mo-" while
her conscious mind said "yes."
And since the former was
stronger than the latter, she
lost her engagement ring.
Careful questioning, Of course,
proved that this psychological
principle was correct in the
young girls case. Her mother
opposed the match, as well as
her father. And these influ-
ences plus her desire, from
childhood up. to want to please
her parents, outweighed the
conscious and naturally fem
i,ine desire for marriage with
this particular man. l

Advocates Regulation
Of Taxicab Rates

Editor, Times:
The taxicab situation In
Washington is in a critical con-
dition. The number Of diff.
ferent taxicabs and the number
Of varying rates presents q
tangle unsolvable to the most
intelligent. For instance, one j.
taxicab displaying a "35c City
Proper" sign will carry a fare to
Fourteenth and Decatur for S5
cents while a different taxicab
displaying identical markings
will charge so cents past Spring
Road. In other words, when a
person enters a taxicab the
patron does not know what the
ultimate price will be.
The original 25-cent zones
are unfair. A person can ride
north to Fourteenth and De-
catur; however, one block be-
yond this limit calls for an
additional 25-cent charge. In
other words, it will cost IS cents
to ride one block. BY starting
at Fourteenth and Decatur and
riding to Fifteenth and H N. W.,
a person can ride several miles.
It is the most insane and unfair
system of rates in existence In
the United States.
What we need in Washington
is a universal or standard meter
rate that will be fair to the
public and also enable the
operators to make a fair profit
on their investment. What the
writer suggests is 20 cents for
the first fourth-mile and 90
cents for each additional mile.
No one can honestly say that
this is not a fair rate both to
the operator and the patron, as
a person riding on a meter rate
only actually pays for the dis.
tance rode.
If the Public Utilities Commits
sion can control street car and
bus fares, then they can like
wise control and fix taxicab
rates and it seems that the
commission would take steps to
remedy this deplorable situa-
tion. Commissions appointed by
law are for the protection Of
the people, and the many thou
sands who ride taXicabS in
Washington really need protec-
ton in the way Of standard
meter rate. It will eventually
come to this, so why delay?
Also the matter of respon.
sibility Is one of grave concern.
Several hundred independent
taxicabs in Washington, trans
porting people from place to
place, do not even have their
cars paid for, much less being
able to pay for accidents and
injuries. Every taxicab should
be forced to carry insurance or
some kind Of fixed responsible
ity inasmuch as the average per-
son takes 1t for granted that in
case Of injury they are pro-
tected.
The old-time taxicab drivers
Of Washington usually have
long clean records without ac-
cidentS or injuries to patrons,
but since the increase in the
number of taxicabs and the
number Of persons driving taxi
cabs who never drove before,
accidents and injuries are in.

The feature Of Darwin's the
cries which attracted so much
attention and provoked so
much controversy was the
straightforward and thorough
going application Of the theory
of descent to the human race.
While he had many predeceS-
sors in this field, he surpassed
them all in precision Of state
ment, thoroughness of inquiry
and powers Of reliable general
ization.
Once the idea of evolution is
accepted in principle, the great
task is to diSengage the sep
Arate factors in the evolution
process. The theory Of natural
selection, which had been
family surmiSed or touched
upon by earlier naturalists, was
simultaneously and independ-
emily formulated by Darwin and
Alfred Russell Wallace. Oar

Darwin went far beyond the
biological study Of the individ.

button was Darwin'S picture of
what j. Arthur Thomson calls
the web of life"-the inter.re-
lations and linkages Of nature.
He particularly concerned
himself with study Of the CORE

Before Darwin
By archibald Henderson

Science is prolific Of ex-
r11ples Of inventions, discov-
ries, laws and generalizations
which have an historic back
round and origin. No scientist
ever springs, mythologically
speaking, full-armed from the
aead of Jove. He stands upon
the foundations of his prede-
cessors. Those foundations must
oe stable and sure in order to
nold the new structure which is
to be built. Or, to change the
figure, the scientist is a from
tiersman. He goes out to the
boundaries of human knowl-
edge and explores a new field
"a terra incognita-thitherto
untrod by man,
Darwin did not originate the
Doctrine of Descent, which
holds that the plants and ami
mails of the present day are
lineal descendants of simpler
ancestors. The ideaAof progress.
descent, from the rudimentary
to the involved, from the SIM
pie to the complex is certainly
as old as Aristotle.
Darwin possessed in extraordi-
nary measure the power of
orderly generalization. He as
sembled facts, collected data
and co-ordinated them in such
an impressive way that they al
most told. their own story. He
gave vogue and currency in sci
er1ce to ideas which had been
known for centuries. He for
mulated them into laws and
showed that these laws were
universally valid.
