It is not merely curiosity,
the Unsuitable desire to know,
which alone prompts sociolo-
gists to make scientific studies
Of primitive peoples now living
on the earth. Many of our
own customs, in So-called CIV
ilized countries, are gravely
suspect and constantly under
ging scrutiny and revision.
Child education, adult educa-
tion, marriage, adolescence,
are all coming in for intensive
study, as a result Of diSsatiS-
faction with present condi-
tions.
The late G. Stanley Hall de-
voted many years Of his life
to che study Of adolescence,
crowning these prolonged years
Of investigation with an ex-
haustiye work on that subject.
Modern sociologistS and
philosophers are putting the
Institution Of marriage under
the microscope and submitting
it to the Severest tests. Among
them may be mentioned West
ermarck, Shaw in his amusing
play, Getting Married." Wells
Ia q novel called Marriage" ,"
and Bertrand Russell in Mar
riage and Morals" It is high
~ desirable to study the man
ner and customs of primitive
peoples today, to learn many
sane, helpful, simple practices,
habits and attitudes which will
repay our study and perhaps
cause a modification in our
beliefs and practices.
A remarkable study of this
kind has recently been made
by Margaret Mead, a young
anthropo pologiSt connected with
the American Museum Of
Natural History. This In.
.veStigation was not along
stereotyped lines, neither a
synthesis Of all that others
had written on the subject or
even a description. from the
outside, Of the manners and
customs OF primitive peoples.
Miss Mead, through the
generosity Of the board Of
fellowshipS in the biological
sciences Of the National Re
search Council. was enabled to
study the Samoan islanders at
first hand for nine months.

Listen, World!
BY Elsie Robinson

Blame yourself! Why did your
enthusiasm cool as you grew
older? Because you grew afraid.
Because you grew peeviSh and
proud. You no longer reached
out eagerly toward all life as
an adventure. You grew afraid
to reach. You grew chooSey
and snooty. You wanted to
change life. Or hide 1t. Or
run away from it. You wanted
to make things over, to fit your
own notions.
And so. little by little, you
curbed that eager urge within
you and cut off the uuickening
current Of your enthusiasm.
Life didn't do that to you.
Life didn't peter out. Nor did
you exhaust your resources.
There is still as much in life
as there ever was. There is
still as much in you, If you'll
let yourself go and not dam
yourself up with cowardice and
conceit.

Greater Currency Issue
Needed for Prosperity

Editor. Times:
One Of the unemployed, writ
ing to The Times, says:
Money rates are low. Money
is easier and cheaper to get
than it has been for years"
Nothing, according to mod
ern monetary science, could be
more misleading nor harmful
than the above statement.
Money is not easy to get. Far
from it. The supply Of legal
tender is only about one-tenth
what it ought to be. In other
words we should have some
thing like $40O per capita in
cash, whereas the average per-
son has only a few dollars
with which to carry on his per-
Sonal affairs. The reason for
our present industrial dilemma
is q lack, need, want, famine,
deficit, absence, shortage, scare
ity, poverty, inadequacy, def
cheney, niggardliness and de-
fectiveness of government cash
and nothing else whatever!
OF course the morons who
believe in the gold standard
more than they believe in the
Almighty will never admit that
gold money doesn't work. The
politicians and publicistS who
kindly do all our thinking for
us are still advocating the sort
Of medium Of exchange used
10000 B. C. But, do we have
to believe them? We do not.
We refuse to be convinced that
$3.50 plus $3.75 equal $40.
Neither Mr.. Morgan, Mr..
Rockefeller nor Mr.. George z.
Roberts can juggle elementary
arithmetic and get away with
it permanently.
How long win it take the
public to learn that without
cash business cannot be trans
acted? The, absolutely ir1falh-
BILE process Of logical el1mina-
ton proves beyond the shad-
ow Of q doubt that our ante
diluvian currency system is TO
blame for our industrial ills.
Who dares deny the following
proposition: There are only
three basic factors in produc-
ton: land, labor and money,
the distributor Of product. NO
fault whatever can be found
generally speaking with either
land or labor. Then money
MUST TAKE ALL THE RE-
SPONSIBILITY. Until the

ing and Engraving issues many

properly representing improved
real estate or public utilities, 1t

conditions to improve.
This plan Is too simple also
too logical, feasible, fine and
flawless-to suit the baffled,
cynical, sophistical know-noth-
i1gs Who would rather the
whole world go to pieces than
admit their utter inability to
solve the social enigma.

it won through the Federal feet-visited them

serene, motherly woman, whose slow smile
was a mothers smile, in whose eyes was the
light Of gentle understanding that has no
need of tolerance or even of sympathy. Mr..
Hill saw these things and knew that they
were not for the world to see. He knew
that Whistler had built up vast, incredible
structure of living which was for the world
to see, but in the inner chambers OF his
house was the serene, gentle woman who was
his mother, and upon whom he secretly Law
ished a vast gratitude and supreme de-
votion.
It may be that she was the secret spring
from which he drew the stream of his in
spiration and when he was come to perform
the thing by which his name was become
universal he painted her portrait. Into 1t
went something that is not to be found any
where else in his prodigious work. About her
there must forever cling some gentle mystery,
this woman who early became a mother to
the motherless, and who through the centuries
will embody the genius of motherhood.
The house in which she was born in North
Carolina still stands beaten by the winds OF
near two centuries. To it come no pilgrimages
to do honor to the mother. Before 1t the
great elms, set by the slaves OF the first OF

a great lady was born there. But to the
neighbors she Is just picture.

IS concerned principally with the well being
Of her two boys, and mostly with the health
or Jamie. Through the bitter years OF the
Russian experience she nursed him, and when
they were ended in the death of Maj Whistler,
when poverty stared grinly at them, she
brought them out of Russia and home again.
other sisters married brillantly-into the
British peerage, into the aristocracy OF Viz
gina. with son who was 10 come 10 De
Admiral Donald Mcneil Fairfax. The younger
Whistler became, like his forefathers, ply
stefan, with an adequate If not distinguished
practice. Alone was left Jamie, the son, who
never, somehow, grew up to be man VINO
did not need his mother. Past manhood she
watched over him, and he never seemed 70
be able to take hold upon any of the normal
and expected enterprises of life.
But always she is there in the background,
not dominating, never directing, but just
being the mother that he would always need.
He returned to Europe to study painting and
she went also-not with him, but to be
nearby if he should have need OF her. In
1860 he left England for Paris for three years
of study, and she returned to America Tor
a visit with her few remaining relatives in
North Carolina. 1t was not the purpose OF
James Mcneil Whistler ever to return to
America to live.
With their scant means they would live in
London, and meanwhile she would return to
America for last visit to the place Of her
birth and the arrangement of a few ma
terial matters that would require her atten-
ton. The Civil War broke while she was
among relatives in Cumberland and Bladen
Counties in North Carolina. The ancestral
plantation had passed into other hands. She
remained with her relatives through the
earlier years of the war. Communication with
her Jamie became more and more uncertain.
It would not be possible for her to return to
Europe her cousins assured her.
But at length came the letter saying jamie
had returned to London and would establish
himself there. 1t was then that the un-
thinkable thing was done-she would run the
Federal blockade to get back, to London,
where Jamie was. because he needed her.
"A ND she went to her paradoxical sort OF
Immortality careless of the danger she
ran, careless of the sort of fame that might
have been hers when she was the only woman
who braved the hardship and the danger of
passage through the ringed fleet Of the Fed
eral ships of the mouth of the river beside
which she was born.
Of the life of Mrs. Whistler in London
there is curiousy little that survives. 1t was
a thing apart. Once Whistler, when threat

with a charge Of second-degree murder-a
charge from which, am happy to state, he
was subsequently released by the recovery of
the caddy and the payment of a small fine.
Conclusion C-The new ball does not irritate
old gentlemen as efficiently as the old. In order
to carry out this test we arranged to play
directly behind a foursome consisting of Mr..
Tweedy, Mr.. Harper, j. G. Evans and Corning
Beggs. The average age of these gentlemen
is "a and the average time they take to play
one hole is 2 hours A" seconds fiat. might
add that they play every Saturday and Sunday,
and that they have never been known to let
any one play Through" them; or, for that mat
ter around, above, over, or beneath them. Mr..
Jones and I therefore waited until they had
go: little distance ahead of us on the fair
way and then began shouting Fore" and driv-
ing. On Mr. Jones' fourth drive, one of the
old style balls hit j. q. Evans squarely between
the shoulder blades, an advantage that was
not able to overcome, and I graciousiy con-
ceded to him that in this respect, at least, the
old ball still seemed to have a slight measure
of superiority, especially as Mr.. Evans was
forced to give up the game for several weeks
whereas both of the gentlemen whom I had
hit were able to be out on the course the fol-
lowing Saturday.

is now time to report on the series
Of tests which have been conducting
on myself in connection with the new
golf ball which has been adopted this
year as the standard for America.
This ball, as every one knows is slightly larger
and a bit lighter than the old ball, and for
period of one month I have been subjecting
myself to various experiments to determine
what improvement. if any. has been effected
by the change. I am happy to announce the
following conclusions:
Conclusion A-The new ball reacts consid-
erably better to gin than the old one, especially
on windy days. In order to make this test,
prepared large shaker full of gin cocktails
and another of the same size which l filled
with Hello Daddys," a mixture of rum,
whisky, brandy and absinthe. 1 then teed up
a dozen of the old-style balls for my colleague,
a Mr.. Jones, while lined the same number
of new balls up on the first tee for myself. At
a given signal Mr.. Jones and I each drank
gin cocktail, after which he stepped forward
and drove an old ball and did the same with
a new one.
We then repeated this with the other style
Of cocktail. It vas noticed, after the fourth
Hello Daddy" that Mr.. Jones' balls had
tendency to veer sharply to the left, whereas
the new style ball held to its course, and on
the seventh cocktail the superiority of the lat
ter became so apparent that Mr.. Jones lay
down for few minutes while his caddy brought
back to him his driver, which had inadvertent-
1y slipped from his hands and landed On the
roof of the caddy house. At the ninth cock
tail the new ball, for the first time, displayed
a slightly irregular reaction in that, instead
of leaving the clubhead in the direction of the
fairway it bounced off smartly to the right
and crashed through large window in the
ladies' wing, but this may have been due in
part to a strong breeze which had sprung up
that direction. BY this time, anyway, it was
getting pretty dark, so we put back as much
of the turf as we could find and called 1t
day." with the odds decidedly in favor Of the
new ball.
CONCLUSION B-The old ball gets lost a
little more easily than the new. For this
purpose Mr.. Jones and played nine holes with
two specially selected caddies who had been
highly recommended by the caddy master. AT
the end of the seventh hole I had only man.
aged to lose IA balls. whereas Mr.. Jones had
not only lost 26 balls but was also face-to-face
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-05-11

Conclusion D-The old ball makes better
missile to throw at moths, mice, etc. During
the Winter months ] find that there really
isn't much use to which one can put golf balls
around the home and so, rather than let them
lie idly in my bag, always keep few beside
my bed as missiles. found, somewhat to my
surprise, that the old ball was apparently much
better for this purpose than the new, as the
following score will show:

This leaves the advantage, as you see, greatly
in favor of the old ball, and also presents
