Dangerous Business

ruthlessness has been accepted as tradtonav effec

itself the assumption that possesses the only brains

Clarence Darrow when he said:

Now, wonder how many of our

Does our critic who objects to the

We might call it Poverty Row,
Shacktown or anything else, but the
fact still would remain that these
poor devils are worse off than the

prosperity-for a few. 1t might be

One English investigator studied
the output of three girls who had
the job of sorting soiled linen in a
laundry. Two of the girls were sis
tiers, and worked much more quickly
than did the third.
An investigation showed that the
difference in speed was not due
entirely to any difference in natural
quickness.
But the slow girl was disguised
with the work and INDUCED in all
sorts of facial contortions at the
sight of any unusually dirty article.
She handled it with such extreme

permit workers to go on for long
time, but constitute a potential haz-
ard.
In consideration of this subject
before the British Medical Asso-
citation, Dr. Angus Macrae points
out that suitable adjustment is con-
cerned not only with keeping out
workers who are not fit, but in aid
ing workers who are particularly fit.
Sometimes the requirements of a
job are either far above the capacity
of an individuality or far below his
capacity. In either case he will be
dissatisfied.
In some instances, the trouble is
due to lack of special aptitude for
the work.
Sometimes people have gifts
which they long to use, but for
which their work provides no exer-
else. AS an example, young man
may find the greatest of pleasure in
working with figures and calcula-
tons and ought to be in the &C

am aware that Herbert Hoover
didn't make the depression, and
also will admit that in his own Pc
culiar way he tried to get us out OF
it. Nevertheless, great many
voters are going to h1ame him and
take out their revenge in the form
of a ballot for Roosevelt.
In other words, this is by no
means a happy hunting ground for
the Republican national nominee.
But, for all that, I will stake all
the political acumen I ever had,
or expect to have when older and
wiser, on the proposition that Mr..
Hoover will run ahead of Mr.
Pounds in the ratio Of more than
two to one.
And if my estimate proves incor-

ward by his ostensible hackers and
supporters for no other reason than
to hold the franchise, to preserve
the fiction that there really is
some deep and abiding difference
between the two cooperating par
ties called, for convenience, Demo-
cratic and Republican.

A Personal Sacrifice

7 WILL grant readily enough that
L. Lewis H. Pounds is making a
personal sacrifice in conserving to
run in an entirely hopeless race.
I'm sorry for having poked fun at
his candidacy, because the really
essential joke is not on him, but on
you and me and the intelligent voter
who lives just around the corner.
1t is very probably that same cor
ner around which prosperity is Turk
ing, for this intelligent voter seldom
puts in his appearance on election
day. He is content to miss the
sham battle.
A couple of days before the Re
publicans met in their municipal
convention at Mecca Temple, /
ran into prominent Republican
leader, who is a friend of mine in
most things which lie beyond pol
itics.
Whom are you going to put up?'
I asked. He grinned very broadly
and said: I'VE haven't been able
to find anybody yet. Nobody wants
the job. If you'd like to run, you
can have it,"
Now I am aware Of the fact that
this was not serious offer If it
had been, I would have turned ana
sprinted for my life. But under
meath the jocoSe proposition lay the
fact that the Republican party in
New York doesn't expect to win
and doesn't really want to win.
1t has learned to be content in
that state in the municipal scheme
of things to which it has pleased
Providence to call it. And when
Republican candidate for mayor
falls at the polls, by no means all
his wounds are in front.

NEW YORK. Oct. 1.-THE day
IN after Mr.. Coolidge told us that
everything was quite all right and
that We would better be careful
about making or recommending
changes, Senator Borah came out
with f1ve-point program for re-
covery.
Beyond the idea of swapping war
debts for a one-half cut in arma-
ments, that program contains little
in keeping with Hoover policies, or
Coolidge conceptions.

think of the Republican faction

as the monetization of silver, the
reduction of farm obligations, or

There has been a great deal of

balanced budget as the result.
Nothing of great consequence has
been done to lower expenses, but
taxpayers have been loaded with a
much heavier burden.

independence. Here is one man
who is trying honestly to think in

may be they are more inspiring than

OF a super-man in the White House
we would have sunk out of sight in

little homeopathic medicine in the
form OF tariff, or some other kind

From Sea to Land

THE third picture depicts the
Il emergence of mans ancestors
from the seas. 1t shows the most
primitive amphibian known to sci
ence, the first known creature to
have emerged from water to land.
He is the "diplovertebron," whose
bones were found in the rocks of
Bohemia. He lived about 300 900 900
years ago.
Professor Gregory points out that
five-toeed hands and feet, which
probably had evolved from an ear
lier paddle-like condition.
The creature breathed atmos-
pheric air, but the young probably
still were developed in the water.
The fourth picture shows the
most primitive known reptile, the
"seymouria. His skeleton was
found in Texas. He lived about
100000 years ago.
cat this stage" Professor Gregory
says, "the skeleton retained many
characteristics of the older amphib-
ians, but adaptations for land living
were progressing and very probably
the eggs were laid on land"
The fifth picture is also one of a
reptile, but of a reptile that is be-
ginning to show mammal-like char
acteristics, like "cynognathus,
whose bones come from South At
RIGA.
The entire skeleton shows NAM
malian characteristics, according to
Professor Gregory.
Mammals enter upon the scene
with the sixth picture. 1t shows the
common opossum, an animal which
has remained practically unchanged
for the last 100000 years.
