THINKER HAS GOOD

Serve to Keep the Individual
Within Bounds.

The rose culturists have accom-
plished so much in the development
of blooms that l have often wondered
why they have not been able to do
away with the thorns." said Mr.. Cato
NinetaIls. "Perhaps it is impossible.
or perhaps, in some instances. they
have succeeded, but the roses of the

have sometimes had the feeling when
was applying an antiseptic solution
to my lacerated arms and hands that
roses shouldn't be allowed at large,
but that their cultivation should be
wholly within guarded boundaries
where they could do no harm. And
yet, rose in bloom is-a rose in
bloom! And as long as such blooms
are produced it seems highly prob
able that we'll endure the thOrns.
"In horticulture rose thOrns are
menacing; in literature they are
monitory. Many of the classicists. for
many a century. have recorded the
discOvery-whichh has been made by so
many other peOple-that there is no
rose without a thorn; and then. with
their usual ignoring Of facts. the
metaphOriSts talk of rOse-strewn
paths as the ways Of delight. and beds
of roses as cOuches of luxurious com

some of his own rose pruning. would
you like to walk along n ose-strewn
path or lie on a bed of roses? You
needn't answer. I'll answer for you.
Certainly not.
LET us. then, bear all this in mind
as we contemplate the superior bless

Those whose ways lead along rose

1881, when LOndOners received the
news that the cholera had reached
Riga, where TOO or 500 sail of Eng

and flax were waiting to come to
England. 1t was then, after an or
der had been issued for the quaran-
timing of all ships from the Baltic,
that the plague established itself
in England for the first time"
Yet all through that period, begin

POSSIBLE SPREAD
OF YELLOW FEVER
Experts Foresee Danger
From Airplanes.

A "new aviation peril" said to be
sensational in its possibilities, came
up for discussion at the annual CON
ference of the British Medical asso-
citation. Sir Malcolm Watson called
attention to the likelihood. almost
the certainty. of "aircraft carrying
yellow fever from West to East Af-
RIGA" If that happened, he claimed,
there was nothing to prevent it from
spreading to Asia, from completely
JaralyZing itself. Other physicians
1t the conference undertook to show
how airplanes might be the means Of
"propagating plague, cholera, small
pOX and typhus.' And Sir George
Buchanan stated that, as there was
possibility of aircraft introducing
new types of influenza and cerebro-
spinal meningitis into England. the
subject was engaging the attention
Of both the air ministry and the
ministry Of health. For himself he
regarded it as IAN important matter
requiring measures in the yellow
fever zones to prevent the spread of
the disease"
Almost simultaneously with these
deliverances, though without any
sort Of connection with them, came
an article in the London Times set
ting forth facts regarding the trans
mission of cholera over the world
after its appearance at Calcutta in
1917, and asserting that by 1881 it
had become certain that no country
was secure against the inrOads Of
the disease. Appearing successively
at Bombay and Madras, it reached
Ceylon in 1919 and spread thence and
from India over eastern Asia and the
islands of the Indian ocean. by 1923

"SaO Paulo might properly be

Ethiopia is the original home of

The men having the greatest lung
