The Atom and the Cosmos
By Archibald Henderson, LID, PHI. d.
Famous Scientific AUthOritH

Within very recent years
science has made notable ad.
vances toward comprehension
of the nature and constitution
of matter. The electrons inside
the atom move according to
strange and complex laws
which are gradually being for
rnulated. It is coming to be
recognized that an electron has
ID tWo-fold nature; and can be
interpreted either as point
charge or as a wave motion
inside the atom. But whether
interpreted in one way or the
other, at least we know that
there is an almost incalculable
amount Of energy locked up in
the atom.
- If we think Of the sun or Of
any of the other innumerable
hot bodies in the universe, we
shall be able to understand
something of the sources of this
vast energy. Immense stores
Of this energy are made avail
able by the actual annihilation
of matter. The positively and
negatively charged protons and
electrons fall into and annihi-
late one another, and thus set
free the whole Of their intrinsic
energy as radiation.
We are amazed to discover,
by calculation, the actual
amount Of energy made avail
able in this way.
AS Jeans says: '"The annihi-
lation of a pound Of coal u
week would produce as much
energy as the combustion of
the five million tons a week
which are mined in the British
Isles: an ounce of coal a month
would provide locomotive power
for all the British railways,
while a single drop Of oil would
take the Mauretania across the
Atlantic" Judged on this new

The Marry-GO-ROund
BY Helen Rowland

Some men have their higher
selves coaxed into being by q
woman who goes before them
holding a bunch Of hay or an
apple. And others are goaded
into action by a woman who
follows them with q poised
whip and a ready spur.
Many a man has sought di-
version in q fascinating career
and turned to art or literature
or money-making because his
home life was so deadly dull
that he had to find an outlet.
And many q man has gotten
chummy with fame or success
because he couldn't get chummy
with his wife,
II a man isn't trying to
prove to some woman that he
is the glorified being she thinks
he is, he is nearly always busy
trying to prove to himself that
he is not the mere dumbbell
she imagines he is.
Either way he is made-or
unmade-by a woman. That
is where Adam got the first
masculine alibi-"C "ChercheZ la
femme!"

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. Louis E. Bisch-

by DIR. Louis 4. BiSch-
The child wishes, every man
and woman wishes. Even old
age is not free from wishing.
Hope and desire and all our
ambitions, longingS, Str;Y;ngs,
plans and similar tendencies in
which the mind is projected
into the future are forms of
wishing.
The human being is the
greatest wisher in existence.
From earliest childhood days
he is continually striving and
wanting and hoping.
If we took wishing out of our
lives there would scarcely be
anything left; life would cease
to be human. It would be Vege-
table.
And with this desire to wish
comes also the tendency on our
part to believe what we wish
without there really being ade-
quate proof to support it.
For example, some years ago
a report spread that a radio
operator might be able to
tune in" with the planet Mars.
And then, sure enough, scores
Of radio fans heard mysterious
signals for several days and be-
lieved they had succeeded in
receiving messages from mil
lions of miles in space.
Indeed, it is almost impossi-
hle not to believe what you
want to believe.
When we want to hear some
thing very badly, as in the case
Of the Martian signals, we are
likely to beguile ourselves into
believing we do when in reality
we don't at all.
The same is true throughout
our range Of desires.
We read meanings and in
terpretationS into occurrences
after the pattern of our desire.
We see what we want and
wish to see.
We believe what we wish to
believe.
We feel what we want to
feel.
As the old adage goes: THE
wish is father to the thought. !"
Being q strong wisher Is not

thing to what he has.
He is past thinking, and tries

Seek the Woman
Seek the handspring of every
mans success or failure-and
you will find a woman!
Back of every mans achieve
ment is the inspiration-or
the instigation-of some worn-
an; his wife, his mother, his
sweetheart-or the other woman.
When q woman isn't the
motive power behind a mans
supreme effort, she is usually
the desired object in front of
it. And when she is neither
of these, she is the torment or
the tormentor that drives him
to seek Solace in hard work.
She may be the guiding star
which he follows. Or she may
be Just a little singing gnat
that keeps him hustling. He
may be striving to live up to
her beautiful ideals, or merely
struggling to satisfy her selfish
whims and demands.
Hy may be animated by the
passionate desire to become the
strong, brilliant, successful be-
ing that some woman imagines
him.
Or he may be merely actuated
by the desire to win some
spoiled and charming butter
fly, in whose opinion he is Just
a blot upon the scenery, or
one of the footlightS in her
solar system.
His latent powers, his dor
mant ability, his unappreciated
talents and untapped resources
may have been discovered by
some devoted woman who loved
and understood him.
Or they may have bloSsomed
out of his loneliness with a
wife who never loved or under
stood him.

Sensitive? Always being hurt?
Life just one blue spell after
another? Probably. Sensitive
ness is one of our commoneSt
and cuSsedest forms of conceit.
Does that give you q start?
Maybe you've been thinking that
you have a monopoly on Sensi-
tiveneSs-that no one else Suf-
ferS quite as you do. That your
idea about yourself? Then get
over 1t. You're just one out Of
millions, partner. There's moth
ing unique about your trouble
and there's nothing obscure
about its cause or cure.
SenSitiveness is not a sign of
a great or rare mind. It is the
sign of a very tight, immature
mind-a baby mind-a mind
that has never opened to the
significance of the life about it.
Why are you sensitive? You're
sensitive because mentally you're
all out Of focus. You center
everything on yourself. You
do not see other lives, other
problems. You think you do.
You discuss other people. You
may even fuss a great deal over
other people. But always you
are thinking of yourSelf-and
Of how various acts affect your
self. And so you really never
see other lives, and therefore
you can establish no scale of
compariSon-no relative value.
And everything, no matter how
trifling, gets you on the raw.
What's the cure for sensitive
ness? Open your mind. Look
beyond yourself. Grow some
perspective. Learn to be imper.
Sonal-as irnpersonal about peo-
pie as you are about climate.
The climate is a lively and
often a very disagreeable factor
in your life. 1t can cause you
quite as much discomfort as the
most malicious person. But you
keep that discomfort on the
surface-you don't let it get
inSide-you don't take it to
heart" Unless you are a most
childish person, you don't get
mad at thunderStorms or hurt
by frostS or inSulted by hot
days. You have learned to take
these things impersonally. You
realize that thunder and frost
and hot days happen to every
one-they are part Of all life.
But Snubs and spite and
loneliness and loss and disap-
pointment also happen to every
one-they, too, are part of all

seem to aim at you but he really

aimed at you. He's just func-

Georgetown Is Pleased
Over Waterfront Plans

Editor, Times:
All OF the residents Of George
town and Of that section Of
Washington once known as
''Foggy Bottom" will be pleased
to know that the National Park
and Planning Commission is go
ing to pay some attention to the
bedraggled condition Of the Wash
ington waterfront.
In the Cramton bill there is
provision for a boulevard to run
along the water front from Poto-
mac Park to the Conduit bridge
and beyond. This means of course,
that the entire waterfront, es-
pecially that part of it immediate
ly south of Key bridge, which is
Washington at its worst, will be
developed into what it ought to
be.
It is earnestly to be hoped that
the Federal Government will take
over all this dilapidated and run
down property at an early date.
1t can be bought cheaply. The
controversy over the rights Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal ter
miuS ought to be settled without
difficulty. The unSightly tanks OF
the washington Gaslight Com
pany and the old brewery ruins
ought to be done away with.
This project ought to be put
through at an early date, In
connection with the many Othar
improvements already sanction ed
by Congress.

Knocks the Bicentsnnial
Because of Auto Posters


Editor, Times:
When George Washington rides
down the street on the back Of
an automobile and tells you that
he is going to celebrate his bi,
centennial in 1882 you begin to
wonder II patriotism and com.
mercialisrn are going to become
brothers in the United States
from now on!
When Sol Bloom devised this in
genious way Of explaining to the
public that "old George Of the
cherry tree fame" was going to
celebrate his birthday in two
years with the pomp and glory
that is his own when riding OIL
the rear tire Of an automobile,
he must have certainly realized
that his showman's wisdom would
not get across in such an event
so dear to the hearts Of his
countrymen as the birthday OF
one of its most famed Presidents
and braveSt generals.
The introduction of George
upon the spare tire Of many
washington cars. was the match
that set alight the heated word
combat on the floor in the House
I between the Congressman from
New York and those Representa-
tives who were opposed to his
style of advertising display.

For 25-Cent Cabs
Editor. Times:
One Of the most logical develop
Inents in the local taxicab war,
as / see 1t, is the proposal to es-
tablish cab lines on regular
routes, and to take passengers
from point to point on the route
for q flat rate Of IS cents. Four
passengers could be accommodated
in each car.
While this would turn the cab
into a small bus, yet / think 1t
would be so much cheaper than
even the present 35-cent taxi that
the public demand for 1t would
make 1t popular from the day Of
its installation.
/ should think also that the
bus on this basis would be q
profitable proposition, and that
an entirely new group Of taxi
riders would be created. There
are any number of persons here
who find the operation Of their
own machineS-if they have any

hours accommodations on street
cars insufferable. These are the
persons who would flock to the

opinion that there will be such
q sharp cut in the number OF
passengers carried in street cars
when the new taxi service goes
