come when you begin the treatment

The Civilization of Drudgery

The growing use of machinery in the modern world
has drawn a good many protests from men who fear that
we shall get mechanical out Of all likeness to normal
humanity; yet it is worth noticing. perhaps. that none
Of these protests come from the men whose lives are
actually made over by the machine.
Very likely it is true that the machine has many sins
to answer for; but the critics ought never to lose sight
Of the one great fact in its favor-the way in which 1t
has taken plain. age-old %drudgery, of the sort that turned
men into beasts Of burden and made them old at 40 and
pitched it forever into the discard.
That, of course, is not to say that nobody works hard
or than is good for him any more. But there has been
q tremendous change; and perhaps the best way to un-
tderstand it is to take a good look at an industrial under
taking of the old type, as 1t existed before this much
hated machine had come on the scene.
In the province of Szechuan, in China, there is the
worlds oldest oil field-a field that has been In operation
for more than 1000 years.
This oil field, as described in the current Industrial
Bulletin published by Arthur D. Little, Inc, Is operated
today precisely as it was 20 centuries ago.
It's most important product is not oil but brine, from
which salt is made. Fully a million men are employed
in this vast field, at wages ranging from Is to Is cents
a day. All Of the work Is done by hand. All of the ma
chinery is made of bamboo, from pipe lines, castings and
bits to the drilling cable. A big bamboo plantation is
maintained to supply the material.
The wells vary in depth from a few feet to more than
half a mile. All of them are drilled by hand, and it
takes decades to complete the drilling of the deepest ones.
Think all Of that over and you get a rather unpleasant
~picture--a picture Of thousands upon thousands Of men
Shaving away at back-breaking toll for a hopelessly made
quatc pittance-slaving today precisely as their remote
ancestors shaved 1000 years ago.
What chance has a laborer for a decent life under con-
ditions like those? How can he ever be anything but a
drudge?
Then picture the change that would come if modern
machinery we're installed. Steel drills, gasoline and steam
engines. modern punps-the drudgery would vanish. A
Chinese coolie from this oil field would think that the
lowliest worker in an Oklahoma oil field was on a per-
uetual vacation.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Bumps and Character

Question: NJ. w. asks: DO you
think that chronological charts are
accurate relative to the functions Of
the brain. and can one actually de-
termine character by this method?"
Answer: The functions of the brain
cannot be determined by Jumps on
the skull. as the brain does not en-
large outwardly when certain parts
are developed. The more developed
the brain, the more grooves ard con-
volutions it develops, but not humps.
An 1rishman once visited a phrenolo-
gist. and was telling a friend about it
afterwards: HE said that the bumps
On my head would sure indicate my
character, but I told him that they
showed my wife's character"
Silicon for Hair Growth
Question: Mrs. H. G. writes: I'm
one Of your articles you say we should
feed our hair with silicon by using
those foods which are rich in this
mineral. Is there not some form Of
silicon that could be rubbed into the
scalp?"
Answer: Silicon rubbed on the
scalp would be of no value. To get
the desired results from silicon, use a
plentiful supply of those foods con-
tanning it.
Many Kinds of Blood Tests
Question: M. H. asks: will you
please tell me if a test made of blood
taken from the ear would disclose a
disease. such as tumor or cancer, in
dicating just what organs are affect
ed? Is such a test possible or plau-
sible?"
Answer: Perhaps this may be pos
sible some day. but not at present.
Some blood tests are helpful in MAX
ing a diagnosis in conjunction with a
physical examination. I know the
kind you inquire about, but do not
consider it reliable.

The United States circuit court of appeals at Philadel-

of the federal court at Pittsburgh. The appellate court
held that communist principles to which the member
stood pledged were so incompatible with those of the
American constitution that no person could be faithful
to both. That is understandable. What remains a
mystery is that any devoted adhercnt of the communist
party should find enough interest in America to attempt
to become or remain a citizen of the country.

be afraid that such a pitiable person

it. There is no better fun than sliding.
I think will go over there and make
me slippery slide
Away went Little Joe, making a queer
track through the snow. You see, his
legs are very short and when he
bounded along he made print of the
full length of his long body and the
mark of his tail besides. Tommy Tit
flew after him. He wanted to see the
fun if he couldn't share in it. When
Little Joe reached the open water, he
wasted no time. Right to the top of
the bank at the steepest place he went,
stretched himself fiat on his stomach
with his front legs folded back along
his sides to be out of the way, gave a
mighty kick with his hind feet and
away he went down the bank toward
the cold-looking black water. He didn't
go very fast, for the snow was some
what soft and he had to push 1t out
of the way. When he reached the wa
ter, he slid into it and disappeared. In
spite of his own warm coat, Tommy Tit
shivered. He couldn't help it.
Isn't the water dreadfully cold?"
cried Tommy Tit as Little Joe's head
popped out.
1T isn't cold at ALL" replied Little
Joe as he climbed out and hurried
around up the bank to the place where
he had kicked off before. That was
true so far as Little Joe was concerned;
that water didn't seem cold to him.
He kicked off again and down he went
once more, this time a little faster
than before, because there was less
snow to push out of the way. There
was some water clinging to his coat,
Just enough to wet the snow a little,
and this Jack Frost at once froze. The
third time down the slippery slide was
still faster.
BY the time Little Joe had been down
half a dozen times the snow had be-
come packed and icy and he would go
down fast This was great fun and it
wasn't long before Sammy Jay and
Blacky the Grow had joined Tommy Tit
to look on. Chatterer the Red Squirrel
was hidden in a tree where he could
watch. Jumper the Hare peeped out
from under little hemlock tree. Billy
Mink popped out from under the ice
and watched, but refused Little Joe's
invitation to try the slide. Lightfoot
the Deer was present. Reddy Fox pre-
tended that he had come that way by
mere chance and wasn't interested.
However, it was noticed that he re-
manned where he could watch and that
on his face was a broad grin.
So it was that Little Joe Otter had
fun on Christmas day, and all his
friends and neighbors joined in it, for
though they couldn't themselves slide,
it was fun to see him go down the
slippery slide. So every one had a
merry Christmas and wish you the
same.

Holiday Spirit of Restfulness
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

Christmas day should be one of
gayety for household. It should also
be made as free from strenuous work
as Is possible. There should be some
spct in the home Where any one who
gets tired and perhaps confused with
prolonged merriment can find rest and
comparative quiet If a dwelling is
large enough for each person to have
his or her own room to flee to when
the iollity gets wearisome, there are
several Ravens of repoSe. It is when
q family lives in an apartment or a
house bit small for the size of the
family, one in which every room is
constantly used, that some special place
should be reserved for those who are
unable to endure prolonged hilarity.
Among those who react quickly to
m atmosphere that Is high pitched are
those who are aged, those who are not
very strong. children, and the mother
herself, who has been Straining every
nerve for days past to have everythn'
run Smoothly on this, the greatest of
all the holidays of the year. During
some period of the day each one Of this
adult group should feel at liberty TO
enjoy quiet moments, and mothers
should see that young children have
soothing pleasures even If sleep re-
fuses to come with its refreshing calm.
The pleasures Of the day are increased
II the body is allowed to relax, and the
good cheer of the entire household is
kept more equable.
On this merry Christmas day such a
pleasant, restful spot can be managed
even if it has not been previously ar
ranged for. Select some one room, and
put in it one, two, or more comfortable
chairs. Have some place, either a
couch, sofa or bed. according to the
room selected, that is ready with
cushions and cover to throw over
whoever chooses to lie down for a while.
On piece Of paper write, please Keep
Quiet While in This Room" and fasten
1t to the door beneath another sign
which says. Please Shut the Door"
The person who has had an absorb
tngly interesting book as gift will revel
In being able to go inside, shut the
door and indulge in quiet reading. The
person who wants to write a few notes
Of thanks can find quiet within this
room for such pleasant pen talks with
