deal of difference. AS they grew
older, Ida developed a goiter and
Ada did not.
1t would seem that this goiter is
responsible for certain significant
differences in these identical twins.
Thus Ida showed the symptoms
of lack of thyroid secretion, such
as puffiness, increased weight and
tendency to tire easily, whereas
Ada was stronger, more active, and
more vigorous.
1t was found that Ida nearly al
ways lived in the country close to
the Great Lakes, where there is
high incidence of goiter, associated
with deficiency of iodine in the soil.
On the other hand, Ada lived
most of her life in another section.
She had a varied diet, including
Seafood, which contains consider
able amounts of iodine, and from
the time when she first heard of
ioGized salt, used that salt for her
self and for her children.
This may have been responsible
for the differences of character.

Every Day Religion
by DIR. JOSEPH FORT NEWTON

ITO me-" she says, sit is religion, .
and it helps her to remove spells
of sadness or irritation or anger,
"and afterward feel happy anu
almost peaceful"
With her it is not the ''repining
reStleSSneSS'' of which Herbert
spoke, but a radiant restlessness,
the motive force of all her toll,
whether it be playing or painting.
TOR me-" she adds, life is inter-
Il esting, entertaining, happy, if
only can have some activity for
the restlessness that is in my heart"
Ah, therein she is lucky, too, as well
as happy, and may it always be so
in her life.
She is not dissatisfied, but unsat-
isfied, and the difference between
the two is very great. Others, too,
are restless, with a bitter, sullen,
miserable restleSsness, and so I'M
happy.
In either case God was wise, as
the gentle poet knew, for in the end
it is a certain restlessnesS Of SOUL
or sweet or sad, which drives us to
seek what otherwise we would not
seek so eagerly, much less find, be-
cause We would not feel the neeo
of it.
Long ago st. Augustine wrote, in
one of the noblest and most search
ing sentences ever written on earth:
20 Lord, Thou has made us for
Thyself, and our hearts are rest
less until they find rest In Thee"

Profit Meant Little

TINE allies bought war supplies
l. of us, not because we loaned
them the money, but because they
could not get them anywhere else.
The profit on those goods meant
very little to the taxpayers who
must foot the bill. 1t was not dis
tributed, except to a very limited
extent Even if it had been, it
would have represented only a fair
recompense for services rendered.
Business, whether public or pri-
vate, can not be conducted on the
theory that buying goods from a
creditor liquidateS debt.
1t would be better for all con-
cerned if that sort of hooey were
left out of the argument.
This country owes the allies moth
ing in connection with the war. 1t
not only saved them from a hui
initiating defeat, but put them into
position to grab 'arge hunks Of
territory all over the world.

GEORGE HERBERT, in his little
VI rectory at Bremerton, in Eng
land, where he lived for three years,
fighting the great white plague,
wrote a lovely poem called The
Gifts of God" III his song he
imagines God pouring out, with I'M
sparing generosity. his gifts OF
beauty and wisdom and joy into
the heart of the newly made man;
but holding back the gift of rest,
lest man adore the gift and forget
the Giver.
With fine insight, the poet makes
God decide to let man be restless,
so that 'if goodness lead him not,
WEAKNESS may toss him to My
Breast"
One thinks of that poem after
reading the letter of Helen Wills
Moody in a symposium ON the
Meaning of Life edited by Win
Durant. The secret of her activity,
Of her happiness, of her achieve
ment, she tells us, is restless
ness which seems to be continually
in my heart"
It made her work hard to win
the Phi Beta Kappa key at college,
and she won it. It drove her to
play tennis, and she became the
champion Of the world, the great
est player who ever powdered hel
nose.
But tennis was not enough: she
took up music, sculpture, painting
and, she might have added, mar
riage-always seeking beauty, striv-
ing after perfection.

Social Control
DUT the acquisition of power ha

DUT the acquisition of power has
- brought difficulties as well as
benefits. Professor Lamb seems in
clined to think that mankind has
acquired power faster than it has
learned how to use it.
ut is this huge increment of
power without a corresponding I'M
Outstanding of its socialized control
which doubtless is the fundamental
cause of our industrial and eco
nomic distress and our social I'M
rest" he says.
Better control, distribution and
coordination of this energy is the
most pressing problem of the hui
man family today.
Nevertheless, while perhaps our
sorest need for the moment is the
consolidation of our present gains,
there can be no question that man
kind will strive steadily to secure,
and in the end will secure a greater
per capita energy supply.
1T is worth while, therefore, to
examine our energy supplies and
the possibilities of conserving, in
creasing, or adding to them.
A survey of the annual supplies
of energy for the world from present
sources shows that approximately SO
per cent of it is developed in the
United States.
"Forty-six per cent of the worlds
energy produced from coal, so per
cent of that from oil, As per cent
from wood, and 80 per cent from gas
come from the United States"

Greater Efficiency

NTHILE Professor Lamb looks to
w the tapping of the new
sources of energy at some distant
date, he believes that there still is
room for higher efficiency in use
Of present sources.
1.-THE steam engine has been in
creased in overall efficiency from
Is per cent in 1910 to % per cent in
1882, and this should continue. al
though at a diminished rate" hs
says.
THE mercury turbine is relatively
in its infancy and may be con-
genitally limited in its possibilities,
but it already exhibits an efficiency
of "a per cent.
An alluring possibility is the fuel
cell using carbon or carbon mon
oxide as one depolarizer and air as
the other.
"The electrochemical feasibility
of such cells at 300 degrees appears
to have been demonstrated convinc-
ingly and their operation at room
temperature is not entirely out of
the question"
But the largest of all energy re-
serves remain virtually untapped,
Pofessor Lamb says. These are solar
energy and the heat of the earth.

SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ-

Mankind Has Acquired PoVer
Faster Than 1t Has Learned
to Use 1t, Says Chemical
Society Head.
DOVER difIerentiates the ma
l. chine age from past civiliza-
tons. Ancient man chiefly was de-
pendent upon his own muscles and
those of his beasts Of burden. al
though the winds moved his ships
and water wheels were used to some
extent. Modern man uses the en-
ergy of coal. oil and water power
But as yet man has made only
a beginning of tapping the energy
which exists in the universe. Ac-
cording to Professor Arthur B.
Lamb of Harvard university, presi-
dent-elect of the American Chem
ical Society, potential energy re-
serves nearly 100000 times as
great as any yet tapped exist in
the heat of the earth's exterior, in
the energy radiated by the sun. in
the winds, and in the water con-
tanned in clouds.
The heat of the earth alone, he
says, is millions of times greater
than that represented by all the
known coal fields Of the world.
Reviewing the progress of civ
ilization in the Harvesting Of en-
ergy, Professor Lamb points out
that every American today has at
his disposal sixty times as much
power as did the caveman.

People, Voice

Editor Times-I was very much
amused at the pleas in your column,
seemingly coming from sorely beat
en- Republicans, concerning those
who still continue to criticise Presi-
dent Hoover, which left me with
the impression that we should for
get.
How can I ever forget that which
is imprinted in my mind so deeply
that it never can be erased? The
manner in which our World war
veterans we're treated who saved
this country from destruction and
made it safe for all of us.
They were not only starved and
ragged, but their shacks were
burned, treated as though they
were SO many rats, though many
of them were Shell-shocked, broken
in body and almost broken in spirit.
Think of the horrible effect that
will have on our children for gen.
erations when they read that in
history, which should be recorded
along with the depression.
Another four years would have
found us gladly working for a bite
to eat, like the peasant in Russia,
under such high-powered men as
Henry Ford and others. But God
sent us Franklin D. Roosevelt to
relieve those who were starved,
broken in body and spirit, who
were living in the richest country
in the world.
The manner in which Franklin
D. Roosevelt ripped into the Jimmy
Walker affair convinced me Of his
clean, truthful service to all man
kind.
Many ignorant people criticised
Franklin Roosevelt's physical handi-
cap as detriment to being Pres
ident. A President is not required
to do manual labor. Our bodies are
only husks. 1t is the mind and
soul that create worthwhile things,
just as Roosevelt's clear, keen mind
slowly but surely will work US out
Of this panic.
His good clean heart will have
mercy on the poor, broken-down
people and he will keep our faith
and treat us as well as he would the
rich business man.
1t is a mystery to me how any
poor person can support newspapers
that piled SANDER on such an hon
orable man as our new President.
Many Of my friends have quit these
papers in disgust. I personally
shall appeal to all the Democrats
I know always to support the pa
per which deserves all the honor
and praise in America.

Which Would Cost MoSt2

II XPEDIENCY is the one logical
II argument for debt revision.
In other words, would it cost us
more to insist on full payment than
to accept a compromise?
That question involves not only
a multitude of details, but some
rather important policies.
Inability to pay has been adj
vanced as the best reason for re-
vision, but to what extent is that
inability due to the enormous ex-
penditures that allied nations are
making on ornaments?
Furthermore, our outstanding war
aim was to curtail ornaments. Does
the existing debt situation furnish
us with an opportunity to drive
bargain which serves that aim, and,
if so, would we be justified in US
ing it to the limit?
I am one who thinks we would.
We have tried the soft pedal long
enough. Thus far, we have little
to show for the $4,000 dead in
France, or the veterans bureau in
this country.

We Have Used the Soft Pedal
Long Enough on the War
Debt Situation.

Long Enough on the War
Debt Situation.
NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-There are
IN sound reasons for believing
that war debts, particularly the
British war debt, should be revised,
but the fact that the allies used the
money borrowed from this country
to buy goods in this country, is not
one.
The money was borrowed from the
government, while the goods we're
bought from private concerns, or
citizens.
The government obtained the
money by issuing bonds, which it
sold to such people as could afford
to buy them. The people who
bought these bonds were not the
same people who made huge profits
by selling goods to the allies.
The case would be similar in prin-
ciple if some corporation were to
borrow 100000 from a country
bank, use the money to buy goods
from the people of the town where
the bank was located, and then
argue that the bank well could af-
ford to cancel the debt, or write off
large portion of it, because of
what the town had gained.

They Wanted SpoiIS

WE went into the war suppoS-
w ing there was something
which would make it worth while.
We visualized that something as a
change in the international order,
and took it for granted that other
people felt the same way.
When the shooting was over, how
ever, we found that they were more
interested in spoils than new ideas.
Though crying poverty, European
nations are at the same old game
of building forts and conscripting
youth for cannon fodder. They
could pay us easily by reducing
their naval and military establish
mentS one-f1fth.
That is not much to ask, especial
ly in exchange for revision. Ought
we to give an inch until they con-
sent?

Boost From SideIineS


ON the surface, at least, he gave
" no encouragement to the move

ballot. Indeed, he made one or
two ENTHUSIASTICALLY perfunctory,
to be Sure-to discourage voters
from doing any such thing.
The total written-in vote was sur
prisingly large. Practical though
Mckee may be, doubt that he ex-
pected such showing. That gave
him courage to suggest the possibil-
ity of a break between himself and
Tammany.
Now it is probably true that any
immediate victory against Tammany
can be won only by a shrewd man
who is bit of an opportunist and
knows how to pick his holes. The
Tiger still is a shade too powerful to
be hicked out of the way with one
finger. Strategy must be used in
sneaking up on the beast.
But I think it will be an ex-
cellent thing to consider the precise
value of a temporary victory if it
is to be that and nothing more.

The Limits of Economy

NTOR am I inclined to toss my
l Y hat in the air the moment
any candidate says economy" No
person except an interested poll
tician is going to defend graft and
waSteful extravaganza, but any
blanket program of cutting expend-
itures will do less than justice to
certain obligations of the city which
are imperfectly performed at the
present time.
For instance, I think that New
York City should spend far more
than it does today in the care and
housing of the unemployed. Mayor
Mckee will clarity the issue a great
deal if he undertakes to offer def
mite information as to what he
plans to do in regard to this prob
lem.
1t is my opinion that the cutting
of wages of many city employees is
very bad economy. I think that
policemen, f1remen and teachers are
vastly underpaid at the present
scale. We can't afford to skimp on
things like these.
A program of economy even
should include some necessary ad-
vances. We readily could afford to
spend more on New York's hospitals.
Even a convincing promise of
honesty falls short of what the
voter needs With a year to go, let's
get candidate for mayor who is on
record on all the complex and con-
troversial problems Of city manage

And What Comes After2

LIVERY so-called reform move
- ment in the city of New York
has failed to consolidate it's posi-
ton. One-term successes are all
that we have accomplished. After
any sort of fusion victory, the Tiger
has come storming back into the
trenches again in the next election.
The reason for this has been OBJ
vious enough. Beat Tammany"
isn't full and sufficient slogan.
There must be some enduring DO
litical philosophy behind the Tiger
killers if they are ever to make their
victory anything more than a res
pite.
With still year to go it is not
necessary for Joseph v. Mckee to
outline his entire program in any
one single speech. Devotion to a
decent regime" will do admirably
as a starter.
But the friends of Mr.. Mckee,
and in particular his stanch edi-
torial supporters, will do well If
they endeavor to draw him out into
frank and full statement of just
what he would do if elected mayor
one year hence.
They will do extremely we'll to
pin him down as to just what al
legiances and loyalties he will see
fit to maintain. If the fight is to
be no more than a struggle between
Flynn of the Bronx and Curry of
Manhattan, I think that reform"
is going to be a rather high-sound-
ing name for factional encounter.
