Renaking World


D USSELL feels that science is
IN remaking the world, whether
we like it or not.
Science, as a technique" he
writes, has the further consequence
Of which the implications are not
yet fully evident, namely, that 1t
makes possible, modified the forms
of economic organizations and the
functions of states, it is beginning
to modify family life, and is almost
certain to do so to a much greater
extent in the not very distant fu-
ture."
Russell devotes himself to three
main themes: first, the nature and
scope of scientific knowledge; sec
ond, the increased power of mani
pulation derived from scientific
technique; and third, the changes
in social life and in traditional in
situations which must result from
the new forms of organization that
scientific technique demands.
He begins with an excellent chap
ter upon examples of scientific
/ 4AACHAACAs LII H. 4AC I1oCLAooEo bIlG
and methods of four great Scien-
lists, Calico, Newton, Darwin and
Pavlov.
Calico, Russell tells us, was the
fathe rof modern scientific methods.
His research into physical pheno-
mena reached its climax in the
Principal" of Newton, the work in
which Newton set forth his law of
universal gravitation.
Darwin applied similar methods
to biology while Pavlov carried
them, by his physiological investiga-
tions, into the realm Of psychology.
Thus, according to Russell, the
validity of the scientific method was
established first in the realm of
inanimate nature, next in the realm
of animate nature, and finally in
the realm of the mind.

IDEAS, loo, Wear Out

VKTHEN an innovation has been
wv made, system can give us the
proper technique for putting it to
use, but when an innovation be-
comes necessary, especially one that
promises to supplant the existing
order, then we must look to some
thing else.
This is a phase of development
which receives too little attention.
We can not grow without buying
a certain portion of the past every
so often, without scrapping not only
our utensils and implements, but
our ideas as well.
Must we go on forever depending
on shepherds" to hear the message?

DEATH" called also "the friend of
the aged" since it is a means of
quick death for those who have
survived to the point at which their
life is merely burden and no
longer a pleasure, continues to be
a disease of great mortality among
all civilized peoples.
The disease is caused primarily
by the germ called the pneunococ-
Gus, but Inflammation of the lungs
similar to pneumonia may develop
following the invasion of other
germs.
The disease is transmitted from
one person to another or by mater
ials containing the secretions from
the nose, throat and lungs of those
who are infected.
Our present condition of housing,
the crowding that takes place in the
street cars, trains, elevators, mo-

places, leads to such intimate con-

SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ

Bertrand Russell, in Latest
Book, Discusses Prospects
of Science Remdking the
World; We KnoW Nothing,
He Writes.
BERTRAND RUSSELL Is widely
ID known as brilliant author and
lecturer, a philosopher. and sharp
critic of modern life.
From time to time, he has as
sumed the role Of a popularizer Of
science. Many readers are familiar
with his "ABC" of the Atom" and
his "ABC of Relatively"
These represent two of the best
books available dealing with the
Bohr theory of the atom and the
Einstein theory of relatively.
Many readers also know his
Philosophy" In this book he
turned to the fundamental ques-
tions of the relationship of our
psychological perception to physi-
cal reality.
In his latest book, Russell deals
with the general subject of science,
the future of science, and the future
of civilization which is subjected
to scientific advances and to general
notions Of what science has dis
covered.
The book is titled 1.-THE Scientific
outlook" and is published by w. w,
Norton & Co. at So.
RuSsells style, as those who have
read his previous books know, is
always brilliant and challenging. In
The Scientific Outlook" it is more
biting and epigramatic than ever
before.

HOPES and ACtuaIitY

nNE would like to believe that
~ we can depend on training and
experience to produce prophets
when prophets become necessary;
that if there are flaws in our eco
nonic system, the richest men will
be first not only to see them, but
to lead in the work Of reform; that
when our judicial system grows in
efficient, great lawyers will assume
the responsibility of putting it in
order, and that If government
grows oppressive, those in author
ity will be first to propose measures
of relief.
1t hasn't worked that way and
the chances are it never can.

Doing Nicely as Writers

A ND, come to think of it, there is
IA still another activity in which
discrimination has been lifted and
women have taken advantage of it.
The novel and the short story
field can offer you such names as
Villa Gather, Edna Ferber and
Edith Wharton, Just to pick few.

menting in the Post on Nine. Men
garini's statements, remarks, when
comments are sought on causes Of
and remedies for national and in
ternationa1 problems, how many
feminine views are placed side by
side with those of masculine lead
ers?"
There is no denying the fact that
our world of politics, international
affairs and economics is rnan-made.
But I would hardly contend that
this is a triumph for our sex.

Blind Faith Persists

COLLABORATION is The first
~ law Of nature, and those systems
which We evolve with such infinite
pain and such alluring hope are no
exception.
In spite of the great commissions
to which it has led, all the woe and
suffering it has brought about, we
still maintain blind, uncompromis-
ing faith in existing systems. The
higher we happen to be in them.
the more stubbornly we fight for
their continuance.
There are exceptions to the rule,
of course, but they only serve to
reveal it more distinctly.

End of TOothaches?

One of the best Christmas gifts that science could
give every one is Dr. e. v. McCollunn's announce
ment today in Baltimore that the end of toothache
is in sight. Enough phosphorus, combined with cal
cium and vitanlin in the diet, is the secret.
So far guinea pigs have benefited and demon
Strated the value of the new method Of preventing
tooth decay. During the coming year it will be pos
sibe for every to benefit according to the SCI
enlist
No special preparations high-priced foods are
necessary just common sense and intelligent atten-
ton to diet is required Even candy eating is not
banned
In the wake of this important discovery there may
come highly ballyhooed preparations designed to
make us phosphorus conscious" This is inevitable
perhaps, but not helpful to those who select their
food intelligently.
Unfortunately, the discovery can not be made
retroactive in its effects. 1t will not replace false
teeth.
But it will help the children of today and to-
morrow

BAR CHILD OF

LIBEL HEARING
Judge Rules Her Too Young
to Hear Testimony
on Paternity.
BBUHited Press

BIZ United Press
TOLEDO. O., Oct. 2S.-Elizabeth
Ann Britton, II, was barred from
ner mothers libel suit trial here
today, despite the eloquent protests
of Ann Britton who declared MY
daughter knows who she is"
The child was missing from this
mornings session of court which is
hearing Miss Britton's $4,000 Ecel
suit against A. c. Klunk, Marion
(O) hotel keeper, who distributed
copies of book, allegedly defaming
the pNntiff.
elizabeth Ann knows what has
happened" her mother asserted
shortly before Federal Judge John
P. KillitS formally barred the child.
"She knows the truth. She is able
to discount a good deal of the I'M
truth she will hear and to distin-
guiSh between truth and falsehood."
Refers to Claims
The reference was made to as
sertions of HUNKS counsel that Miss
Britton's claims that the late Pres
ident Warren G. Harding was the
father of her child as written in her
THE Presidents Daughter" would
be disproved in the current trial.
Judge Killits ordered Elizabeth
Ann kept from the courtroom be-
cause this Is no place for child
of her age"
The morning session was devoted
to settlement of legal questions.
Moving with dispatch, the defense
summoned witnesses to the stand to
testify at the opening session Tues
day that Miss Britton bore a bad
reputation before Harding moved
from his Marion newspaper office to
the White House.
At that early date, Chief Defense
Counsel Grant Mouser said in his
opening statement to the jury, the
girl followed the editor around,
looking upon him "as 3 god' with
an imagination that was all out of
tune"
Charges Dead DETAINED
The attorney branded her as one
who DETAINED the dead to obtain
money"
Mouser defended the book which
his client sold in his hotel, declaring
its contents would be proved dur
ing the current trial.
The book is attacked by the plain
tiff on the grounds it makes falso
and defamatory statements against
herself
The reputation of Miss Britton
was assailed by Charles B. King,
vice-president of the Marion Steam
Shovel Company, who testified that
his opinion was derived largely
from reading her book. John A.
Key likewise impugned her reputa-
ton on the same authority.

UNEVEN TRADE
Wheat Breaks Sharply on
Denial of Purchase
by France.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
United Press STAFF Correspondent

CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-Denial of
farm board sales to France by both
President Minor and the French
pricked the bubble resulting from
that report Tuesday and wheat
prices broke sharply on the Board
of Trade today. However, the trade
was uncertain as denials flowed
back and forth, out did discover a
100000 bushel sale hitherto un-
known. The reelection of Mac
Donald and his faction in England
gave Liverpool great strength and
the market advanced sharply.
Wheat was uneven with the de-
ferred months resisting pressure.
Corn followed wheat with March
weak. Oats took their cue from the
major cereals.
Opening Is Lower
At the opening wheat was un-
changed to q cent lower, corn was
3 cent lower to Is cent higher and
oats were unchanged to Il cent off.

Liverpool was not as high as high
as expected but rose Ia to rs cents
by mid-afternoon. Tuesdays furry
in wheat which carried the deferred
deliveries to new highs for the sea-
son was regarded as having weak
ened the technical position of the
market. However, the English
elections, so far as is known, have
done as expected and this has given
London grain and stock markets
great strength. Sentiment here
generally is bullish.
Exports Are Large
Exports from the United States
last week we're the largest of the
season. More attention is being
paid to New York dispatches which
state large eastern operators are
turning to wheat.
The movement to hold corn of
the market which has gained SO
much Roadway in Illinois, progress
sing rapidly in other states. Cash
handlers state that little grain is
being offered and Chicago houses
are able to buy only sufficient to
care for the immediate demand.
Cash interests buy oats on easy
spots, keeping the futures market
relatively steady. Shipping sales
have increased lately.

cars in the weekly car loading re-
port and a rise in gasoline stocks.
In some quarters it was believed
the New York Federal Reserve bank
would raise its rediscount rate from

however, did not appear to be con-
sidered in bond circles, where United

were higher.
