VIM Be Patiant2

A T times have heard the home
IA less and the jobless praised be-
cause they have been so patient un-
der the conditions which Cypress
them. I do not think they should
be patient.
1t is not good that men and
women should crawl into a corner
like stricken animals. They have
not only a right, but duty, to fling
woes in the faces of the SNUG and
the complacent.
It is not good for the starving
to go on silent in their misery.
And as for the SNUG and the
complacent, if they only knew it is
not good for them to be shielded
from the knowledge and the pic
ture of the plight of those whose
misery is appalling! Patience is
only a medium-long lane and has
its turning.
How can the evils and Affections
of a sick world be healed until we
know them utterly and then with
wisdom face them? If I were an
agitator in the complete sense of
that word, I would be proud of the
title.

Just Every Day Sense

Now, that is what would call draw We know

even.
And that's about well as we ever do on a
wholesale scale. Certainly poor wretch will hear
much worth listening to from the experts.
Perhaps it was meant that marriage never should
be ideally perfect Life after ALL would be pretty dull
if it always were The mental and physical haz-
ards 1t involves offer perpetual source for discus
sion and puts spice into individual existence.
And would give ShuckS for any kind of a match
that just settled down to be ideal of itself It would

1t IS something you have to work out for yourself
It's job and grand one. 1t not be run accord
ing to regulations in the books
These may help bit, but just as you are little
olderent from every other human being your mar
rage IS little different from every other marriage
And 1t probably will be flop if you just leave it to
chance TO arrange things Such careleSsess deserves
punishment. You wouldn't let the simplest item of
your life be abandoned to the mercy of fate
SO you've got TO bring all your ingenuity and your
grit TO make marriage go That is where the fun
comes IN It's gigantic and desperate game, the
stakes being the happiness of several people.
And why, ask. isn't such a game worth PLAYING II
the uttermost? 1t is. It's worth all the planning al
the effort and all the suffering If you win.

It Was Inevitable

TODAY, we no longer worship
4 material things. But it is easy
to see that the sun was more
worthy of such worship than other
objects.
1T was" writes Kames in his
History of Man." "of all the diff
ferent objects of idolatry the most
eXcusable, for upon the sun depend
health, vigor and cheerfulness and
during its retirement all is dark
and diSconsolate"
Olcott writes, THE worship of the
sun was inevitable, and its deifica-
ton was the source of all idolatrv
in every part of the world
1T was sunrise that inspired the
first prayers uttered by man, call
ing him to acts of devotion. bidding
him raise an altar and kindle sacri-
fetal flames.
Before the suns all-glorious
shrine the first men knelt and
raised their voices in praise and
supplication, fully confirmed in the
belief that their prayers were heard
and answered.
Nothing proves so much the an
tiquity of solar idolatry as the care
Moses took to prohibit it.
Take care said he to the Is
raelites, lest when you lift up your
eyes to heaven and see the sun, the
moon, and all the stars, you be Sc
duced and drawn away to pay
worship and alteration to the crea-
lures which the Lord, your God, has
made for the service of all the ma
tons under heaven
Then we have the mention of
Josiah taking away the horses that
the king of Judah had given to the

SCIENCE
BY DAVID DLETZ-

1t Is Easy to Understand
Why Men Of Ancient
Times Worshtped the Sun.
THROUGHOUT the land, wise
i men and women are spending
as much time as they can in the
health-giying rays of the summer
sun.
Perhaps few of them reflect upon
the fact that the Oldest and most
widespread of ancient religions was
worship of the sun. 1t is to be
found in every part Of the globe.
The -eminence of the sun, as
the fountainhead of life and mans
well-being, must have rendered it,
at a date almost contemporaneous
with the birth of the race, the chief
object of mans worship" writes
William Tyler Olcott, famous au-
thority upon astronomical myths
and legends.
1t is easy to see why this is 50
To the caveman, the sun spelled the
difference between happiness and
terror. The day was period when
he dared venture from his cave in
search of food and adventure.
The setting of the sun was the
signal to hurry back to his cave
to escape the dreadful dangers of
the dark forest.
Later, man learned to mark the
beginning of the seasons by the
MONDAY position of the sun.
He realized that as the sun rose
higher and higher in the sky each
noon it meant that winter was pass
ing and spring approaching.
1t is not surprising therefore that
early man soon connected his own
welfare with the sun and developed
worship of the sun.

When steamers are powered by
turbine engines, more efficient
condensation of exhaust steam is
required than in the case of re-

Consequently, the warmer sea
waters tend to decrease the eff

that of any other type of engine.

CANCER always has been recog-
~ nized by the medical profess
sion as a disease of old age. More
recently, it has seemed to occur
fairly frequently among younger
people and there are many expla-
nations advanced for this fact.
1t is recognized that heredity
plays a large part in cancer, and
that inbreeding may bear some re-
sponsibility.
The British statistician, Karl
Pearson, found that the maximum
incidence of cancer occurs at the
age of As in women and of Sc in
men. The chief cancer period is
from 46 to 81 years.

Oldest Religion

TINE most ancient religions of
l. which we have any record are
based upon solar worship.
I'VE have good evidence of the
antiquity of sun worship in the fact
that the earliest authentic date that
has been handed down to us was in
scribed on the foundation stone of
the temple of the sun-god at Sip
para in Babylon by Naram-Sin, son
of Sargon,' says Olcott.
There also has been recovered an
ancient tablet, an inscribed memo
rial of the reign of one of the early
kings Of Babylon, on which is
sculptured "a representation of the
worship Of the sun-god by the king
and his attendants.
I'm the sculpture, the sun-god
appears seated on a throne beneath
an open canopy shrine.
He has a long beard and stream
ing hair, like most conceptions of
the sun god, and in his hand he
holds ring, the emblem of time,
and short stick too small for a
scepter, which some Psychologists
think represents the f1re-stick so
closely associated with the sun-god
"On small table-altar which
stands before him, is a large disc,
ornamented with four star-like
limbs and four sets of waye-like
rays, while above the group is the
inscription. The disc of the sun
god and the rays of his eyes
THE scene clearly indicates the
fact at the priests of Sippara
were worshipers of the solar disc
and solar rays, and their creed
seems to bear a close resemblance to
that in vogue in the eighteenth
Egyptian dynasty.
THE inscriptions on this me
mortal tablet are a valuable record
of the religious life and ceremonial
of the Babylonian temples"

has not signiled any intention Of
again becoming a candidate, but

can be persuaded to stand for sec

his name to be urged.

to know that Mr.. Marshall was ask

for Governor, but he declined to per-

he felt he did not have the time to

pressed desire to retire as State
chairman.
