Child Shoppers

A ND only recently the papers
IA carried the accounts Of a
Sunday school class which had
been urged by the teacher to sneak
about the town in search of speak
easies. Children of IL were advised
to play detective.
Naturally, the little prigs well
coined the opportunity. One Sancti-
fed youngster secured evidence by
throwing a rock through a window
of a barroon1. His pleasure was
double. He was pleasing both his
Sunday school teacher and himself.
Even small hypocrite thrills to the
sound of breaking glass.
The passion to be detective is
so we'll known that certain COM
mercial agencies have capitalized 1t
by furnishing correspondence courses
by mail. The impulse was acceler-
ated fercely during the war.
The spy hunts which we're car
ried on then did g great deal OF
damage, and it is doubtful if the
average American has recaptured as
yet the old national idea of each
citizen attending to his own bust
ness.
People who couldn't knit sweaters
simply had to search for German
spies. remember an aunt OF mine
informed the authorities OF the
pernicious activities Of German
American who lived in the apart
ment Just above her.
The evidence which she presented
against this undoubted Vniscreant
was the fact that he had been heard
returning to his abode twice week
at 3 a. m.
His name being Adolph, my aunt
felt that he could hardly have beer
up to any good during such noctur-
nal wanderings. The authorities. as

Those boys show keen appre-

The Boy Has Rights

VXTHAT nave we come to, if
w kid can't perch On a limb as
long as he likes and thereby win
fame by establishing a new record?
Suppose mis- father is worried or
his mother stays up all night keep
ing the porridge hot? Suppose his
admirers, gathering to dish up ice
cream and encouragement in other
forms, do spoil sleep for the neigh
bors? Hasn't flaming youth any
rights?
For champions of broad-minded-
ness, there can be but one answer:
1t certainly has! And if 1t elects to
express itself by going to the tall
timber instead Of waving red flag,
it should enjoy all benefits of the
Constitution.

He has also shown that there is
heavy tuberculosis rate among
machine printers from the ages Of
40 to 90.
The compositors and machine
printers are numerically the larg-
est group among printers in gen.
eral. Hence it becomes necessary
to give special attention to this
group in relationship to the tubercu-
losiS factor.
1t seems quite likely that the
establishment of systematic peri
odic physical examination, with
special reference to the incidence OF
general tuberculosis, might serve to
elucidate still further the question
as to why printers particularly
suffer with this disorder.

that the disease conditions which

For a long time information con-

those engaged in printing have low

SCIENCE
Worship of the Sun Came
Naturally to Man in His
Days of Gaze Life.
BY DAVID DlETZ

THROUGHOUT the land wise
L men and women are spending
as much time as they can in the
health giving rays Of the summer
sun.
Perhaps few of them reflect upon
the fact that the Oldest and most
widespread of ancient religions was
worship of the sun. 1t is to be found
in every part of the globe.
THE pre-eminence of the sun, as
the fountainhead of life and mans
weIl-being, must have rendered 1t at
a date almost contemporaneous
with the birth of the race, the chief
object of mans worship" writes
William Tyler Olcott, famous au-
thority upon astronomical myths
and legends.
It is easy to see why this is so.
To the caveman, the sun spelled the
difference between happiness and
terror. The day was period when
he dared venture from his cave in
search of food and adventure. The
setting of the sun was the signal to
hurry back to his cave to escape the
dreadful dangers of the dark forest.
Later, man learned to mark the
beginning of the seasons by the
noon-day position of the sun. He
realized that as the sun rose higher
and higher in the sky each noon it
meant that winter was passing and
spring approaching.
It is not surprising therefore that
early man soon connected his own
welfare with the sun and developed
worship of the sun.

Ancient

THE most ancient religions of
Il which we have any record are
based upon solar worship.
1--WE have good evidence of the
antiquity Of sun worship in the fact
that the earliest authentic date that
has been handed down to us was
inscribed on the foundation stone of
the temple of the Sun-god at Sip
para in Babylon by Naram-Sin, son
of Sargon," says Olcott.
There also has been recovered an
ancient tablet, an inscribed memo
rial of the reign of one of the early
kings of Babylon, on which is sculp-
tured a representation of the wor-
ship of the sun-god by the king and
his attendants.
''In the sculpture, the sun-god
appears seated on throne beneath
an open canopy shrine. He has a
long beard and streaming hair, like
most conceptions of the Sun-god,
and in his hand he holds ring, the
emblem of time, and a short stick
too small for scepter, which some
Psychologists think represents the
f1re-Stick 50 closely associated with
the sun-god.
"On small table altar, which
stands before him, Is a. large disc
ornamented with four Star-like
limbs and four sets of wave-like
rays. while above the group is the
inscription: The disc of the sun
god and the days of his eyes
THE scene clearly indicates the
fact that the priests Of Sippara were
worshippers of the solar disc and
solar rays, and their creed seems to
bear close resemblance to that in
vogue in the eighteenth Egyptian
dynasty.
THE inscriptions on this memo
rial tablet are valuable record OF
the religious life and ceremonial Of
the Babylonian temples"

Inevitable

TODAY, we no longer worship
l. material things. But it is easy
to see that the sun was more
worthy of such worship than other
objects.
1T was" writes Kames in his
History of man. "of all the dif-
ferent objects of idolatry the most
excusable, for upon the sun depend
health, vigor and cheerfulness, and
during its retirement all is dark and
disconsolate."
Olcott writes: 1.-The worship OF
the sun was inevitable, and its del
fication was the source of all idol
airy in every part of the world.
ut was sunrise that inspired the
first prayers uttered by man, call
ing him to acts of devotion, bid
ding him raise an altar and kindle
sacrihcial flames.
Before the suns all-gloriouS
shrine the first men knelt and raised
their voices in praise and suppl
cation, fully confirmed in the be-
lief that their prayers were heard
and answered.
Nothing proves so much the an
tiquity of solar idolatry as the care
Moses took to prohibit it. Take
care said he to the Israelites, lest
heaven and see the sun, the moon
and all the stars, you be seduced
and drawn away to pay worship and
alteration to the creatures which the
Lord, your God, has made for the
service of all the nations under
heaven
Then we have the mention of
Josiah taking away the horses that
the king of Judah had given to
the sun, and burning the charioC
of the sun with fire."
