Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

a first glance it seems a little absurd that we
A should be asked to observe Oct as a World
day for animals when are in such precarious
straits.
But perhaps the idea is not so far fetched, after
all. For when we become civilized enough to be
permanently kind to animals, also shall be kind
to each other and that is a high aspiration.
Oct. is the day dedicated to ST. Francis of Assist
the saint who during his life endeavored most and
succeeded best in initiating Jesus. Constantly joyous
enamoured of poverty he loved nature, animate and
lnanlmate He had very special fondness for birds
And though dead for more than 700 years the story
OF his life still adds richness and beauty to history
and all the voicelesS creatures that live today plead
with US in words that we're uttered by him long ago.
I T may be that if inspired to action be-
half of suffering animals, we would be even more
ardent in behalf of suffering humans.
Yet, strangely enough, the world of the dog, the
animal for which, next to the horse most exerts
himself is quite as unbalanced as ours. While few
dogs live richly and at ease riding in limousnes and
attended by dotng masters millions Of others starve
Tor lack Of bone. Cats too, suffer from this same
unequal system of distribution.
For these injustceS man is of course, to blame
just as he is to blame for the complex economic stua
ton he now confronts With too much food the
peple starve Animals dare say could have arranged
matters well have done
So. if it should happen that we set aside the day
OF ST. Francis for this good work, let us not forget
that man, too, is an animal, and right now quite as
pathetic and puzzled as any that walks the earth.

Cannon, to g. North Carolina voted yes 10 to 6.
Alabama solidy in favor of the referendum, and
so was Georgia Iowa divided evenly while Cali

In all, thirty-four state delegations unanimously
were in favor of the referendum, or had majority
in favor of it. Only nine states were solidly against
the referendum, and four others had a majority
against it.

have a somewhat different outcome Nevertheless the

Some drys are contendng the Detroit vote was a
victory for them. They relieved that the legion
did not go farther than did, and out for repeal
rather than popular vote on repeal modification.
But there is no mistakng the language of the pre-
ambe to the legion resolution: The eighteenth
amendment of the Constitution of to United States

law and the security of American institutions"
The legion voted 1908 to 1894 in favor of that

The Eyes Have Il

ERANKIN P. ADAMS says-It
L depends upon what is meant by
a married man. If you are happy
not merely getting along but happy
in your marriage your interest in
the woman will be academic; if you
are in state of instability about
your marriage, you will indulge the
woman'S point of view, and look
back upon the experience with Joy
and satisfaction. I disagree that her
absolute franknesS and sincerity
would lessen your interest. A wo-
mans absolute frankness and sim
certify never lessened my interest in
her, or, to be frank and sincere my
self, they never would.
Bruce Barton says-I should
show her the pictures of my three
children, raise my hat and be on
my way.
Haywood Broun says-You should
yield to the lady's wish. In doing
this no great harm comes to you.
and refusal would be tragic in
her case.
Christopher Morley says-Gentle-
men do not pontiticate on these
matters. But if the traveller is
seriously taken aback, he truthfullv
can assure her that he has friends
in California whom she will eniov
meeting.
On reading over this dilemma I
still am convinced that my answer
is correct. The question of whether
you are happily married or not
hardly should enter in. An episode
of this kind, even though it be a
pleasant one, should in no wise mar
the serenity of mans married life.
On the other hand, of course, if
man felt that he would be doing
wrong in indulging the lady's wish
it might be better for both of them
if he would decline tactfully. The
suggestion that he show her pic
lures of his three children, raise his
hat and depart seems to me slightly
drastic.
Not only would it stamp the man
a boor, but it undoubtedly would
cause irremediable havoc to the
lady's vanity. And, after all, if the
lady had asked the married man to
do her a service less involved with
social usage, conscience qualms and
convention he would hasten to COM
ply.
Why, then, should he assume a
role Of righteous indignation in de-
Ginning to do her a service which
may very probably alter the entire
course of her life?

and divine revelations. Its function was to clarity
Gods viii to man.
With the decline of belief in the supernatural and
the fundamentals of orthodoxy, the function of the
old theology has tended to dwindle Vigorous efforts
have been made by modernists to pour the old wine
into new bottles God has been REDEEMED as the
vague. indiscernible and wholly hypothetical extra
human factor" But these efforts have not attracted
much respect.
Yet there are many emancipated intelects who
believe that theology reestabish itself if it will
surrender its emphasis upon the supernatural and
become scientific appraiser and evauator of religious
phenomena, viewed in thoroughly scientific fashion.
This point of view set forth by the famous
Cornell savant, Professor Nathaniel Schmidt in an
address before the Ethical Culture Society of New
York City:
Theology is reflection upon the contents of
religion the scientific treatment of the facts pre-
scented by religion 1t has until now been predom1-
nanty effort to examine classify, harmonic, Sys-
tematize and rationalize what was conceived as a
special revelation. Its has been limited to the
recognized Scriptures and standards of faith, and
its methods have been those of apologetics
"But now there presents itself the necessity of a
choice between preserving or abandoning this theo-
logical discipline. 1t is becoming recognized widely
that theology survive and maintain its influence
only science dealing with all religious phenomena
of mans life, scrutinizing all claims investigating
all ideas, customs, and institutions, and seeking to
understand the operations of this mighty force in
mans nature and to find new ways of its practical
application.
Theology as the science of religion stands in
very much the same relation to the traditional
theology as astronomy to astrology or chemistry to
alchemy"

I vided enough milk to take care OF
this vitamin.
The Negro diets contained much
less butter, less egg yolk and less
leafy vegetables than did the Amer
lean diets. The Mexicans ate rela-
lively more eggs than the Ameri-
cans and Negroes.
Fifty per cent of the American
children had been given cod liver
oil more or less regularly, but the
Negro and Mexican children ap-
parently never had received it.
Vitamin D was deficient relatively
in all of the diets. The Mexicans
have substituted white -four for
whole corn products.
Neither Mexicans nor Negroes use
whole wheat to any appreciate ex-
tent. However, both Mexicans and
Negroes use beans, pots toes and to-
matoes in fairly large amounts.
Fresh fruits and raw vegetables
appear much more commonly in
American than in Negro or in Mex
lean diets, hence the Americans
have fair amounts of vitamin c.
The Negroes and Mexicans use
potatoes, tomatoes and onions,
which help to take care of their
vitamin c lack. There is apparently
less danger of the lack of this vita
min in the diet than of lack of
vitamins A and D.

England wants peace as badly as

they have come to depend.

Flanner House, dedicated to the Negro
race and its advancement and interest, sug-
gests days work is better than the dole.
That principle is as eternally right as the
cry for human freedom. 1t is based upon
the foundation of all character, which is self
respect.
Work, not charity, is the final remedy
for not only the present depression but Tor
most of the ills of our new social order,
which is founded on the use of labor-savlng
machinery.
One of the causes of crime, discomfort,
disorder, degradation and lowering OF moral
standards is that those who feel the effects
of decay do not work.
That applies both to the bum and TO
the parasite who lives through trlckery or
incomes founded upon extortion.
The great fortunes made in speculation,
in stock gambling in utility trickery, IN
, watered stock, released large numbers from
the need to work. That situation created
social classes who feed horses in high priced
hotels while many beg for bread, who give
monkey parties at Miami in the winter Wfllle
children freeze, who create luxurious Sums
and dives instead of homes while others are
compelled to live in uncomfortable Sums
and without homes.
Of course, the protest against the dole
system came first from those who saw IN
such system the payment OF more taxeS'
either from incomes or in excuses OF various
sorts
Now it comes from those who would prob
ablv be forced to accept it, were such \
scheme inaugurated.
These have a much more valid protesC
than the rich who object to paying. They
protest against the idea of being 1orcea 70
live upon the work of others. They proCesC
against the philosophy that the many must
depend upon the few for the means OF exist
ence Theirs is a righteous protest.
The truth is that the present depression
;s forcino recognition of the fact that one OF
the inalienable rights Of men is to work ana
- work for a wage that will meet needs.
That slogan, raised more than year ago
NV the Fraternal Order of Eagles, is gain
ing ground. 1t is merely restatement Oh
the Declaration of Independence winch
snecifed life, liberty and the pursuit OF
happiness as inalienable rights.
Under our economic system no man has
the right to life as long as he receives the
urinary necessities of food, shelter and
clothing at the whims of the charitable.
No man has liberty as long as his exist
ence is dependent upon the official or unof-
fetal handouts of the generous.
No man can pursue happiness without
self-respect, and that is impossible under a
dole system, no matter in what perfumed
package the dole may be distributed.
Work, says the Flanner House, is what is
needed. And in that declaration there is
wisdom as fundamental as the ages.
