Opposes Use of Our
National Anthem
Editor, Times:

Editor, Times:
For the past so years, THE
Star-Spangled Banner" was re-
peatedly presented to Congress
for legal adoption as our ma
tionaI anthem-and failed. Con-
gress would not take the blame
of adopting an irritating, anti
British war song as our national
anthem.
Last year bill to make "The
Star-Spangled Banner" our ma
tional anthem was introduced
in the House-and passed. A
few days ago this bill was also
passed by the Senate, and with
the approval of the President,
this song of hate becomes Off
cially our national anthem.
Now what has happened?
What change in our relations
with Great Britain may account
for this changed attitude toward
the song? Is there any break
in our friendly terms with our
Anglo-Saxon relatives? Is there
any special need today that
prompts our law makers and
our Chief Executive to give
legal sanction to a song that
antagonizes the minds of our
children against a nation which
is considered nearest to us by
birth, in language, culture and
spirit?
And what about the music of
"The Star-Spangled Banner?
This tune, which used to be
an old English drinking song,
has a range of notes that is be-
yond the reach of the average
singer. For this and many
other faults, which cannot be
discussed in this limited space,

Listen, World!
BY Elsie Robinson

That depends on the kind of
help
I am sure that much of our
so-called help" is extremely
harmful and that with all our
highly organized charity, we
often omit the most vital sort
of assistance.
There's one sort of help we
nearly always fail to give, yet
it should come first of all
FAITH.
We give people food, clothes
and money and endless advice
we find jobs and homes for
them-but how often do we
make them feel that we have
any faith in them?
How often do we do rever-
ence to that pride, that self-re-
spect which cries for recogni-
ton in even the most degraded
human hearts?
Belief in Mankind
How often do we preface our
charitable act by the decent
statement, Il believe in you"
That's one sort of help which
we don't give, yet I'm sure that
it's the most potent and neces-
sary form of help. For the
greatest rehabilitary force in
any human beings life is his
pride. His pride needs recog-
milton before his body needs
clothes or his purse needs
money. And even though you
give clothes and money, if you
have left that pride naked and
in the dust, you have wasted
your charity.
Does it pay to give advice?
I've had a good deal of eX-
perience upon which to base my
answer to that question. I
have been giving both written
and oral advice for many years
in the course of my work. Very
often that advice has been
supplemented by personal CO.
operation which has lasted over
weeks or years. And yet I
doubt if one person out of a
thousand can be helped by
advice.
People Want Advice
Most people want advice and
request it with every evidence
of sincerity. There are many
reasons for this. An advice
getting orgy is most gratifying
to the egotism Of both the ad-

Wanted More Museums
Bv Archibald Henderson, Ph.D., DEL, LID,
Famous Scientific Authority

The objects in museum, in
large measure, tell their own
story. With the aid of the at
tached card, the exhibit is self
explanatory. The very fact OF
it's presence in the museum is
impressive. To pass through a
museum, to coordinate your
impressions, to carry away pic
lures in the imagination and
ideas in the brain-this Is an
important sort of education
which we, in this country, have
neglected far too much.
A Massachusetts, Count
One American was filled with
ideas like this; and he did all
that he could to forward his
great plans. This was Benja-
min Thompson, who was after
ward given the title Count Rum
ford"-which he took because
he was born in Rumford, Mass.
He founded the Royal Institute
of Great Britain, and drew up
a prospectus for the establish
ment of a great scientific mu.
scum under it's auspices. EX-
cerptS are as follows:
The completest working mod
els or construction Of the full
size will be provided and ex-
hibited in different parts Of this
public repository, of all such
new mechanical inventicnS as
are applicable to the common
purposes Of life.
Every consideration unites in
showing how highly important
it must be to the progress of
real improvements to have some
general collection Of useful me-
chanical contrivances, construct
ed on the most approved prin-
ciples and kept constantly in
actual use, to which application
can be made as to a standard,
in order to determine whether
the failure of experiments be
owing to errors in principle, or
to the mistakes of workmen en-
ployed in the construction, or
to those of the servants in
trusted with the management
of the machinery.

visee and adviser. 1t is also a
stimulating and exciting way
Of spending ones time and
emotion. But having received
the advice, most of us fall
right back into the same old
rut. For it isn't advice we
need. It's a new set of YER
tabre. Any maybe a funny-bone.
Does it pay to give SYM
pathy in the usual sense of con-
dolence? Only in very small
doses. Such sympathy is a
drug. It may be wisely used
to elevate the worst pangs of
suffering, but it can only re-
lieve-it won't cure. Sooner or
later the sufferer must buck up
and face the situation-per-
form an operation on his life
or cleanse it of it's infection.
Prolonged sympathy won't help
him in this task. 1t will only
weaken him. Believe in a man,
but show him that you feel he
can make good. Don't be sorry
for him or help him to be sorry
for himself.
Spiritual Partnership
There's another kind Of SYM
pathy which really is spiritual
partnership. You can't give too
much of that,
Does it pay to give money?
I don't know what your expert
ence has been in this respect
but mine has been about SO per
cent Bad. I'm one of those
people who like to give money.
, There's nothing honorable
about that. There's really
selfish pleasure in it for me-
I'd like to imagine that I'm
doing people lots of good. But
I have come to realize, most
reluctantly, that I'm doing no
such thing. In the vast ma
jority of cases the money does
no good whatever, and the
needy one is harmed more than
helped by such financial inter.
ference. The thing that landed
him in his plight was not really
lack of money. 1t was lazineSS
or greediness or egoti5m, or
some other form of human
cuSsedneSs, and he'll never get
out of his plight until ne wins
the fight over the thing that
is defeating him. In most
cases money simply interfereS
with that fight.

Certainly one Of the greatest
needs of America is a large
number of important museums
having to do with science, in
vention, industry and COM
merce. To be sure there are
museums in existence now; ana
others are in various stages OF
development. But in a country
with a population of one-eighth
of a. billion, one cannot have
too many museums.
One of the most important
projects along this line yet put
forward in this country, is the
museum to which Mr.. Henry
Ford is devoting SO much at
tention, On one historic occa-
sion. Mr.. Ford is reported 10
have said: History is bunk.
And surely, much of the his
tory of our textbooks is bunk
with it's thinly yelled propa-
ganda. it's narrow nationalism,
it's restricted view, its stress
upon wars, battles, generals; its
sighting of science and the
arts: its failure to give a true,
broad picture Of the life OF The
people as a whole.
Big Ford Museum
Mr.. Ford is building a col
lossal museum to show a typical
community in all it's relations;
to trace the development Of in
vention in the United States
and incidentally elsewhere; TO
show the steady forward march
of civilization, the upward climb
of the race. Such an institu-
ton has an immortality OF a
sort. It is not a dead thing; it
grows with the years and WIN
the ages.
A museum enjoys an advan-
tage over all other forms OF
passive instruction; it makes a
direct, immediate and convinc-
ing appeal. The eye is instan,
taneous in reaction to external
stimuli; and such impressions,
with the great majority OF
people, are far more deep-seated
and lasting than impressions re-
ceived from reading or hearing
lectures.

The Marry-GO-ROund
BY Helen Rowland

to persuade - man that he is
"unapprec-Ated," and that SHE
understands him far better than
the woman who has been cur
ing his headaches, listening to
his troubles and putting a hot
water bottle to his feet for the
last 20 years. 1t doesn't take
a vamp; the office charwoman
could do it!
And, no matter how often he
may have loved until he "lost,"
the next little platinum-blonde,
who pats his cheek with one
hand, while she reaches for, his
wallet with the other, and tells
him what a nice, big generous,
wonderful man he is can have
him blushing with pleased sur
prise.
Any woman can make a man
feel sorry for himself = even
when he doesn't know why.
Because feeling abused is a
mans pet luxury. Any woman
can persuade a man that he
looks like Lord Byron in a soft
collar, like Gene Tunney in a
bathing suit, like Lewis Stone
in evening clothes or like Bobby
Jones in white plus-fours. Even
when he looks more like Mr..
Jiggs or Barney Google.
And, as for making a man be-
lieve that you are in LOVE
with him, that is just confirm
ing his secret conviction! It's
perfectly natural, isn't it? Well
then! How can he doubt that
a woman loves him-when she
TELLS him so!
Oh yes. every man has a
trusting heart where women
are concerned. That's why so
many of them, like Andy Brown,
rush right out of one Woman's
clutches into another WUman's
arms.
