OF Great Courage
(Grand Forks Herald)


To those who knew the late Deal
Roger w. Cooley we'll, especially in
these later years, the characteristic,
OF his life which impressed them most
was his sturdy courage and unfailine
cheerfulneSS in circumstances such as
often bring despair and complaint
With him illness was something Ia
be endured quietly and dismissed
from ones thinking in so far as that
might be possible. Inquiries as to
his health invariably brought the re-
Sponse that he was doing WELL" or
"feellng fine," and this attitude un-
doubtedly aided him to recover
strength and served to prolonq his
life. Informed within the past wear
or so that his failing sight must pres
emily develop into total blindness, he
accepted that knowledge cheerfully.
and he performed the remarkable
teat for man of his years of teach
ing himself within a few months to
dispense with the use Of his ewes and
to substitute for them the senses of
touch and hearing. In this way he
was able to continue his reading, pur-
sue his studies and instruct his
classes. This tremendous and un-
usual task was accepted and per-
formed with the utmost good nature,
as II it had been quite in the ordl-
nary course of events.
Dean Cooley's life was oassed
quietly and unostentatiously. With
out seeking public attention he had
performed much valuable work in III;
in addition to carrying on
year by year the exacting work Of

the fates had in store for him end

The Drivers Job

When the city Of New Haven,
Conn, succeeded in passing four con-
secutive months this year without q
single fatal automobile accident, the
rest Of the country began to wonder
how it had been accomplished. The
answer, it develops. lies chiefly In
the fact that New Haven set to work
TO educate its automobile drivers.
And that, after all, lies at the bot
tom of the whole movement for safe
'ty In traffic. It all comes down to
the driver. Regulations, stop-streets
traffic lights, police supervision-all
of these things will fail until each
individual driver learns to realize the
responsibility that rests on his shoul-
ders. Traffic could always move
safely if the drivers willed It.

More recently 1t has been found
that thorough cleansing with soap

Preventive medicine Is likewise con-

serums. Thus q person who has SUI

BeyOnd Our knowledge

Nothing flatters the races vanity
much more than the familiar and
casual way In which astronomers
speak of the appalling distances and
emptinesses of the stars and the sky
Thus, when DR.. Edwin Hubble tells
an audience at Princeton that the
universe" which comprises the milky
way is 200 million light years in di-
ameter and is surrounded by an emp
ty, starless void half again as wide.
our first reaction-after saying isn't
nature grand?"-is a feeling that hu-
man intelligence has advanced quite
q distance II it can find out things
like that.
This pride, of course, IS justifiable.
When DR.. Hubble peers through the
famous 100-inch telescope on Mount
Wilson, tn California, and discovers
new universes incomprehensibly far
off, he proves that the human mind
can be an amazingly bright and keen
ly edged instrument.
Yet the end Of all this. when you
stop to think about it, Is not pride
but humility. For whatever may be
the gulf that separates man like
Dr.. Hubble from his predecessors, the
stag -gazers of ancient Chaldea, one
thing is common to both; at the end
OF their discoveries there lies the SELF
same wall Of mystery.
The empty places in the sky put
a limit to human knowledge now, just
as they did when Biblical Ur was the
center Of the worlds intelligence.
The limit has been pushed back an
incalculable distance, but it Is still
there. The "facts" by which the
Chaldeans lived have turned out to
be myths; but, basically, the things
that puzzled the Chaldeans the most
puzzle us quite as much, for all o,lr
hundred-inch telescopes and our talk
Of light-years and whirling nebulae.
And this, perhaps, is a good thing
to remember. For mans achieve
ments in science during the past
century have not, In some ways, been
altogether good for him. II they
are helping him to saner and more
comfortable life, they also persuade
him, now and then, that he is q
smarter fellow than is really the case
We do not, after all, know quite as
much as we like to suppose. At the
end Of the sky there Is still mystery
profound, abysmal, rather terrify-
ing. It was there 40 centuries ago
and we have not lifted It.

YORK
G!,!!l Glib

New York, Nov. 12-It is 2 o'clock
IN the afternoon at the northern bor-
der OF Longacre Square.
And sIongacre Square, If you don't
happen to know, is that combination
OF two triangles just beyond Times
Square.
At the northern tip, a concrete
fencelet, about q foot or SO high.
marks the boundary. Beneath. the
subway groans its grinding dirge. 1t
Is the song OF the Manhattan under
ground! Damp air trickles through
the grating on hot days and there is
even the slightest suggestion of lost
greenery about the edges.
But now it is unseasonably warm
for late October, and this part of the
nations amusement capital is clut-
tered with derelicts. Just overhead
and slightly to the northward, the
electric lady who swings from her ira
peze through the night. is resting.
The lights that create her and an
nounce the name of a certain shaving
cream become a formless mass of glass
bulbs gathering the days dust.
A huge sign moves out from the
front Of movie theater, like some il
Illuminated wave that threatens to
swallow everyone within reach. But
1t hlinkS on and off In a monotonous-
ly innocent fashion. Still, it seems
about to leap from its corner. And,
suddenly, one realizes that Broadway
has its daylight bright lights as we'll
as its night time display. Half the
movie house marques in the neigh
borhood are blinking Intellectually in
the glaring sun.
This is the gay capital of the amuse-
ment world-and just after midday!
Women and girls, men and boys are
rushing to get to the theaters! Taxis
jam and shrek their whistles! The
Palace Theater front is study in Eec-
tic congestion. Close to the curb stand
a dozen out of work actors, talking to
each other: talking to sympathetic
friends; talking >. talking E. In
the lobby there is that just-hefore-
the-Show excitement
X X X
But on the fencelet around Long
acre Square there is anticlimax.
Packed in a bent triangle. are men
who do not even beg. They just sit
One by one. two by two, they drift
up. They pick newspaper from the
street. The paper was left by the last
man who coupled his tiny space on
the little abutment. II there Is no
paper, they walk casually past the big
refuse can at the eastern corner and
frisk about until newspaper Is dis
covered.
Then they sit. The unseasonably
warm sun beats down. At least, they
are warm. The show world is all
about. People have Travelled across a
nation to look at the signs and SYM
bcls that hem them. But these men
Of Longacre Square do not look up.
Two hundred eyes look only at the
pavements and at the papers that are
many hours old. Now and then
one stops and talks TO another.

men drawn by the magnet. A
broken down Snowman would put on
some sort of show. :. He would talk
and bluff and pretend. These men
have drifted in from Broadway's west
erly side. Why they have picked

They are there !. I. And the world
