WTHEN George Bernard Shaw

universe maker. he summed I'D in
phrase the reason for the great
popularity of the German scientist.
From the days Of the cayeman,
mankind has been trying to solve
the puzzle of the universe. The early
u1ythologies marked mans first at
tempt to understand his environ
ment.
To ancient man, the universe was
a disconcerting place. full of caprice.
And so, to explain the phenomena
that went on around him, the people
the heavens with the gods and
goddesses Of Mt. Olympus, and filed
the hills and trees and streams with
giants, nymphs, and spirits.

cosmos. More precisely, it was two

student Of Biblical literature knows.
there are two stories Of creation in
Genesis.
The first one starts with the ma

and runs to chapter 2. verse 4. where
the second account begins. It is the

0ne-Man Business Passes

INDUSTRY not only has sup
L planted agriculture as this coun-
try's chief business, but it has be-
come organized. The one-man in
stitution virtually has disappeared.
Where we used to have the village
carpenter, we now have the city
sash and door mill, with stockhold-
ers, time clocks and mo admit
lance" signs on its gates.
Generally speaking, we accept the
change as strictly a matter of eco
Monies, but it has added much to
our educational problem.
Fifty years ago, boys spent a
great deal of time with their
fathers at the workshop, in the
store, or on the farm.
Millions Of them are denied that
privilege today. Save ON the farm,
which is playing an ever smaller
part in our affairs, the boys of this
country have little contact with
men actually at work.

NEW YORK, March 2.-Are girls unsexing themselves by constant participation in strenuous sports? Every now and then, scientists, edu- cators and doctors rise up ano thunder against the girl athlete and we hear of the dire things that are going to happen to the sweet girl athlete whether she be swimmer, runner, golfer or ten his player. But up to now noth- ling very serious has occurred save to Gertrude Ederle who attributes her deafness to her Channel swim. [ But whether we agree or disagree with the latest attack on the ath- Iletically inclined woman, there is much of interest in what Victoria Booth Demarest has to say about liner. Mrs. Demarest is the grand daughter of William Booth, found- Ter of the Salvation Army and she has been a keen student of her sex both in Europe and this country. She believes that men do not ad- mire the steel -muscled, flat chested misunderstanding marathon-run- ming Amazons" that the colleges and athletic societies are turning cut today. And she says that man is becoming cynical in his at tytude to the sport loving masculine woman who makes the winning of an athletic title her main goal and desire.
 Surely, however, the description lapplied by Mrs. Demarest to our athletic maidens cannot apply to Igirls who have carried of athletic Ehonors last year. There is lovely Helen Wills, who is womanliness and daintiness personified. And there's pretty Betty Nuthall, the young English girl who came here
 and captured the national tennis title of the United States. To meet her, is to meet a sweet, unaffected young miss whose whole manner and demeanor is that of healthy
 jolly girl, well-educated and re- filmed. And she is always sur
 rounded by a circle of devoted lswains. Glenna Collett, too, is a Fshining example of the well-poised
 graceful young woman able to shine
 in society and yet mix with the
 crowd.

(continued from Page 1.)

(Contluue0 rom rage 1.J sentenced to 10 years in the peni- tentiary and a year in jail. Capone was alternately bitter and resigned.
 In a lighter mood, he chatted with Phil D'Andrea, the bodyguard, held under q contempt of court charge because he accompanied his chief into the courtroom carrying a pistol. He talked to four other cell mates.
 The others were hospital patients, one with a broken leg, another with lung disease, and two re- cuperating from operations. Capone gave them cigarettes.
 Meantime his attorneys, Michael final conference.
 They can go before United States District Judge James H. Wilkerson, who pronounced the 11-year sen- tence and fined the gangster $b0,- 900, the heaviest penalty for in- come tax evasion ever given, and try to convince him that a writ Of error automatically acts as a writ of supersedeas.
 They can go before the circuit court of appeals and ask for a su- persedeas and an appeal bond.
 The appeals court would have three possible courses: To grant the motion and allow Capone freedom on bail pending his appeal, to grant the. supersedeas but deny bond, leaving Capone in jail pending his appeal, and to deny the motion, consigning him to the penitentiary immediately.
 Judge Wilkerson denied bail and expressed belief that writ of error did not act as an automatic su- persedeas after passing of sentence Saturday. He delayed Capone's de- parture for Leavenworth, however, to examine legal points.
 What may be Capone's last week end in Chicago in 10 years was spent fairly comfortable. His wife sent in a luncheon of stewed kid ney, bread and butter. For break fast he had jail fare, corn meal mush, a hard roll, butter and cof- fee, and for dinner stewed apples, bread, butter and tea.
