Listen, World!
By Elsie Robinson

Dark thoughts cannot be hid
den. -..
They squirt themselves all
over the premises. They smell
they yell-they jostle and
jab. They are infinitely more
potent and powerful than phys
ical expressions. Some day we
win undoubtedly be able to tab
ulate and measure certain hu.
man vibrations. as we now
measure wave lengths and
volts. Then we viii be able
to state, in scientific terms,
why one person is magnetic
and the other negative-why
one person is sought and the
other avoided. But, though we
can't do that yet. We do base
our judgments on these inris-
ible radiationS. AND WE
AVOID SQUDS!
Then what's the answer for
the unfortunate human squids?
the answer iS-DON'T BE
ONE! Don't accumulate dark
ness within yourself. Don't
through fear or conceit or
cuSsedneSS - magnify your
grudges until they form an ink
sac within you. For II you gen.
crate gloom, you will give out

what interpretation of civil service DEGREES It sample

The formation Of Jumps or
nodules is the characteristic Of
this condition. When they ap-

tion is spoken Of as "glanders"
and when they appear under

referred to as "farcy."
The disease is not 4 common

into the numan body through
abraSionS on the surface Of
the skin or via the mucous
membrane Of the nose.
Both in glanderS and N farcy
both an acute and q chronic
form in man exists.
In acute glanderS it takes
about three days for the disease
to develop.
Where the infection has taken
place there are definite signs

and swelling.

Of experimental evolution"
The philosophers were deeply
interested in the evolution prob
lem; but as biology was then
so. undeveloped as q science,
they entertained little hope, ais
Kant put it, that a Newton Of,
biology would arise. The day
was to come, however, when
Alfred Russell Wallace would
write:

he is the Newton of natural
history, and that, just 50 surely

a long chain Of living develop

naturalist to give q broad and
concrete expression to the, evO-
lutioniSt doctrine of descent"
Erasmus Darwin, who was
doubtless influenced by Button,
In his great work, "Zoonornia,
or the Laws Of Organic Life"
gave an outline Of the evoIu-
tionary process which would al
most stand unchallenged today.
He clearly believed, to use his
own words, that 'in the great

him, walked over and told him
he must 90 out as the room
was for ladies only. Well, he
would not stir an inch, and
she went out. and the house
man came in and put his hand
on the old mans shoulder and

Early EvOlutiOnists
BY Archibald Henderson

There is scarcely room for
doubt that Aristotle was a
genuine evolutionist. o Nature
rose in an ascending scale. In
the views Of many naturalists
and philosophers: Aristotle, Lu-
cretiuS, EpicuruS. But Aristotle
recognized q definite genetic
series, from polyp to man. The
struggle for existence, the con-
tinual thrust toward perfection,
Is revealed in these two basic
statements.
81 II is, due to the resistance of
matter to form that nature can
only rise by degrees from lower
70 higher types.

which, being continually moved

The history Of all science re-
yealS little advance from the
time Of the Greek philosophers
and mathematicians down to
the time Of the Renaissance. For
example, there was very little
progress in physics during the
~ centuries which intervened
netween Archimedes and Copper

There was little or no deyel-
