Without Aid of Suffering

little sick when I am told that old
Mr.. Soandso is a beautiful charac-

with rheumatism for fifty years.
If there is no getting away from
an agony, one best should face it

NHILDREN who are unusually
~ restless constitute a serious
problem for their parents. DR.. H.
S. Lippman has called them hyper
tonic infants, because they are over
active, fusSy, restless, cry most of
the time, vonit considerably and
have frequent loose actions of the
bowel.
Various suggestions have been
made as to why such a condition
develops in an infant, one impor-
tant one being that the child had
at birth some imbaIance in it's
nervous system, and the other that
some injury to the nervous system
was caused at birth.
DR.. Lippman studied sixty-three
infants with these symptoms.
Restlessness and crying occurred
in 81 per cent during the day, and
in 81 per cent during the night.
In handling these infants it was
found to be possible through the

New Employment Insurance

Six states just have received excellent advice from
a joint commission they created last year on unem-
ployment insurance. The advice is equally good for
states not represented in the commission.
This commission, composed of experts, finds that
the necessary first step in dealing with the problem
of unemployment must be compulsory insurance, to
for "the persistent irreguary of operation so
characteristic of American industry"
Voluntary insurance systems, it reports, are COM
pletely inadequate, since in the many years they
have been operating they have extended only to a
very small percentage of American workers.
The experts decide, also that unemployment in
depressions not be dealt with by insurance since
demands so heavy in long-continued slump that
they inevitably must depete all ordinary reserve
funds.
Reserving depression unemployment for special
treatment, the commission then recommends that
each state enact legislation requiring each employer
to set aside per cent of his pay roll for unemploy-
ment insurance payments directly to his own men.
In this the commission departs probably with
wisdom, from the insurance plans which have been
tried in Europe. Other countries have pooled all
insurance reserves The plan proposed here makes
each employer individually liable for his own men,
The experts explain that greater incentive to avoid
unemployment results in this way. If an employer
succeeds in stabzing his production, his insurance
payments8are reduced. If the inefficient employer
can turn to general pool to care for his workers
he is inclined to impose more efficient employers
Certainly, incentive to stabilize industry should be
one of the prime ends of any insurance scheme.
Another point seldom emphasized is contained in
the commission recommendation that the reserve
fund be entirely created by employers 1t says: "Te
greatest share of the burden of unemployment still
would be borne by the worker, whose benefits under
the plan would be considerably less than the wages
he would have continued to receive if employed The
empoye should not, in our judgment, be required to
reduce his earnings still further by payment of
tributions into unemployment reserves"
And this, too, operates incentive to the
owner to prevent unemployment.
The states which just have received this report
are New York, Ohio, Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania
New Jersey and Connecticut If they give it's rec
concentrations a trial. long step will have been
taken toward improving the lot of the American
worker, and, it follows, of all Americans.

Says

Most People Took 1t for
Granted That Organized
Killing by the Military
Forces of q Government
Meant War, but 1t Appears
They We're Wrong.
NTEw YORK, Feb. 16.-According
IN to some authorities. it is not
war as long as the nations engaged
avoid calling it war.
Says Quincy Wright, professor Of
international law at Chicago uni
versity:
Japan and China are not at war
because neither has expressed an
intention to make war"
However, ,"she adds, eff hostilities
reach sufficient magnitude, it doubt
less would be in the competence of
third states to regard war as exist
ing.
A very interesting viewpoint not
only because of its particular bear
ing on the far-eastern situation, but
because of its general bearing on
the Kellogg pact.
1t would seem that in outlawing
war, we merely outlawed official
declarations.

PRINCIPLES Count

IN the same way, common folks
L will call it stealing when public
official gets away with money that
does not belong to him, even though
the law demands more technical
name, and they will call it lying
when witness does not tell the
truth.
Common folks still prefer to think
in principles, rather than in
strained and narrow definition. It
enables them to keep some of the
simpler virtues in mind.
Common folks will not admit that
a thief is guiltleSs because some
body charged him with burglary
when the requirements Of law de-
manded that he be charged with
larceny.

sitive of f1ctionists, AldouS Huxley

commonwealth represents a degrade

Feb. Is

ON Feb. 16, 1918, President Will

quiring licenses for all exports and
imports from and to the United
States.
In report to the house on that
date, Congressman w. B. Oliver of
Alabama reported that 424 war YES

contract by the United States, in
addition to submarine chasers.
Dover, England, was bombarded
by a German submarine. One

Ambiguity on Ton
THE civilized world is clubbing

THE civilized world is quibbling
l. itself into a vicious state OF
ambiguity and hypocrisy.
1t has grown so bloated with def
nitions and technicalities that it
can't tell what much of anything
means.
The law, whether as admin
istered by a justice Of the peace, or
a world court, has become as OBJ
scure and incomprehensible to
common folks as witch doctors
chant, although it was intended to
promote their peace and protection.
Little is plain to average people
nowadays, except red lights and
traffic rules.

A Brave New World

MOST Of us as children were
1VA taught to go in rather heav-
lily for remorse. I would abolish
that, along with physical pain, if I
had the power. Nor is that quite
as impossible as it sounds.
In spite of Mr.. Huxley's sneers,
there can be brave new world in
which individual satisfactions can
be attained without walking all
over the toes of our fellows.
And to paraphrase a well-known
saying, IF you don't like it here,
why not go forward to the land
which lies within our reach?"

SCIENCE

NeaO Machine Built to Weigh
Atoms Registers a T7lI-
ionth of a TriUionth of an
Ounce.
A MACHINE that weighs two
= tons itself but is so delicate
that it viii weigh objects whose
weight is less than a trillionth of
trillionth of an ounce has been built
by DR.. Kenneth T. Bainbridge of
the Bartol Research Foundation in
Swarthmore, Pa.
Only atoms are of the order of
weight indicated and that is the
purpose of the machine-to weigh
individual atoms. In fact, the ma
chine is so delicate that some of
the heavier atoms, such as the
atom Of gold, for example, are al
most too heavy for the apparatus.
The device is known as the mass
spectograph and there is only one
other in the world with the pre-
cision possessed by that which DR..
Bainbridge has built.
The other machine is that of Sir
F. w. Aston of Great Britain, who
was recently knighted for the i'm
portant discoveries which he made
with it.
Completion of the machine by DR..
cambridge puts a new and power
full tool of utmost Importance at the
command of American science.
The mass-spectrograph might be
thought of as a sort of cannon in
which the atom which is to be
weighed IS the projectile. The target
is a Photographic plate.

Roman law then executed this decree
When the Christians captured the Roman imperial
system they could not very well admit that their
Sunday was less impressive sacred than the NTH
raic "great day of the SUM-" So they forced tc
perpetuase the Mithraic taboo on Sunday work But
the Roman Catholics never have been as narrow re-
garding the Sunday taboo as have the Protestants.
Rome supplied the taboo against work Sun
day. The Protestants added the zeal against pleas
ures, as well as work, on the Sabbath" They re-
vved interest in the reading of the Bible especially
the Old Testament. They transferred the sabbath
rian taboo of the Jews from the Jewish Saturday to
the Christian Sunday.
The Puritans were particularly severe in their
ardor against Sunday pleasures. An austere Sun
day helped to soothe their consciousness relative tc
their weekday activities in the slave and rum trade
and in piracy
Here we have then the history of the ideals OF
the Lords Day Alliance and other Blue Sunday advo-
Gates. They represent the merging of pagan taboos
on Sunday work with the Jewish opposition to work
or play on Saturday as they thrown together by
the Puritans of reformation days.
There to be little historical justification for
the concern of the modern Christian relative to work
or play on Sunday Every devout believer should be
protected against involuntary work on Sunday or
against interference with his worship and religious
practices.
Further than this the activities of the Blue Sun
day zealos hardly be tolerated by cultivated and
urbane citizens.
