NEW YORK, March 13.-Some-
L ' body is crazy, and I'm not
going to plead guilty.
I'm looking askance to the peo-
pie on the other side.
The argument ranges around a
recent column in which I said
that people who rushed to the
banks to draw out gold or cur
rency in excessively large wads
were guilty of anti-social conduct.
In answer, I have received a
number of letters accusing me of
defending the bankers and truck
ling to the interests"
Naturally, I don't think the
present system is well devised.
Who does? But, after all, an ulti-
mate solution and a present emer-
gency may present somewhat diff
ferent aspects.
Before the holiday began, I said
that there is no sure ground this
side of having the government of
the United States own and op-
crate banks, savings banks, and
life insurance companies.
still believe that. 1t seems I'M
likely that we will get anything as
radical as that from the present
congress. But I hope that we will
get increased federal supervision
and a guarantee of at least a por-
ton of all bank deposits by the
government itself.

Every Day Religion
BY DIR. JOSEPH FORT NEWTON

ONE can get too much kind
~ unhelpful help from others;
our best aid is our own. In nine
ty-nine cases out of a hundred
the reason for our unhappiness-
as Of our failures-is in ourselves,
and we can not pass the buck"
to any one else.
For every man who deplores OPP
portunities that did not come his
way, there are five who regret
opportunities wasted. Apparent
entity we can not see, until it is
too late, what passes before our
eyes.
If a man is caught in business,
or a job, which he does not like,
and has to earn his living in it.
there are two ways of escape. BY
altering his mental attitude to-
ward his business, he can make it
either discipline or a sacrament.
Or, failing that, he can do his
job and find other ways of ex-
pressing his personality, in a side
line, a hobby, a good cause, or
some kind of study which gives
him an outlet for rest and JOY.
All service ranks the same with
God, said Browning, and it is
better to be a good butcher than
a bad bishop. But it is weakness
to whine, and fatal to fall into a
rut, which deepens every year,
till its sides become the unscala-
bic walls Of a prison. Snap out
of that rut!

A MEMBER of my congregation
4 n in Cincinnati writes: MY
father and mother did what they
could for me, but it was little. If
I could have remained at school
another two or three years, gone
to the university, had influence
with this one or that, things
would have been different.
Il was condemned from youth
to a business 1 did not like; I was
set in a groove I never have been
able to get out Of"
Anyway, do not brood about it;
brooding is like rain, it washes the
blue out Of the sky. Besides, it
may give you dyspepsia or despair.
Many a man has been caught in a
coil of circumstance, but that Is
no reason why he should be held
by it, much less crushed.
An old adage says, Life we'll
begun is half DONE" but it is not
true; one cause of failure is the
lack Of hard knocks at the out
set.
Often a young man begins by
taking the first opening offered
him, because he wants to stay
near home" A rolling stone gath
ers no moss, to be sure, but a
fixed stone gathers nothing else.
A little more courage, a little
more of the exploring spirit, and a
good beginning in a new place
might have been obtained. To fol-
low the obvious line of least re-
sistance may land us in groove,
and a groove easily becomes a
grave.

children constituted the finest home on earth. To-
day women have secured equality and new free

bum the wife the head of the house both spiritually
and economically"
disagree entirely with this statement I think
the American wife, the American woman, longs to
admire to encourage and to promote the welfare
of the men of her household.
Nowhere will you find a finer loyalty than the
American woman is giving these days to the Areri-
can man. To be sure, she no longer keeps meekly
silent while he talks.
She thinks speaks, and often acts for herself,
sometimes against his wishes. She is free creature
but does this make her any less admirable as a
wife and mother or even as a citzen2
TT seems to me that it should and does enhance
l. her value in the eyes of men who want women
not slaves-for their mates. There is nothing
particularly attering in possessing the obedience of
creatures too dumb, too cowed to have an opinion
But there is something worth while for man to
gain the trust the respect. the love Of woman who
asks something better of life than mediocrity
Some readers accuse me Of promoting sex antag-
onism. admit the charge I do. I shall continue
to promote sex antagonism, for only through such
spurrings will men and women ever give the best of
their efforts to living.
She is no friend of mantle woman who cajoles
and fatters and lies She is his worst enemy be-
cause she encourages him to smugness, which al
ways is death to growth and progress.
The American woman does expect a great deal
more of men than she ever has done before And for
this let me give thanks. For, because we expect

FIGHTING DISEASE

The value of work done by public health
thorities is strikingly shown in report recently
issued by New York states health commissioner
showing that during the last five years that state
has had 100000 fewer of typhoid fever, and
10000 fewer deaths from the disease than it would
have had if the 1906 typhoid rates had prevailed.
Credit for the improvement goes chiefly to better
public health work. especially it relates to water
supplies.
higher tribute to the efficacy Of public health
work would be hard to find When you consider
that most other states could duplicate New Yorks
record on the proportional basis and that the fight
against many other diseases is proceeding with equal
success, you get graphic picture of the valuable
work the various public health services are doing
A cable reports that a Solomon island native
Just has paid $1,000 for wife on the instalment
plan and will be the rest of his life paying for her.
Well, we'll. Things are pretty much the same this
world over, aren't they?
It's said the best way to Danish troubles is to
talk them over with some one But the folks COM
ing back from the income tax collector don't seem
to be in such cheerful frame of mind.
The future may be full of opportunity for youth,
but just now the youngsters can't get near the jig

the retina, which is the portion
of the eye that acts to convey
things seen through the optic
nerve; the lens, which is the TO-
cusing tissue; the muscles, which
control the lens; the iris, which
makes the pupil and which con-
trolls the amount of light entering
the eye, and, of course, the asso-
ciated fluid material necessary to
the proper working Of the mech
anism.
The eye is one of the most
adaptable of organs. The distinct
ness Of vision varies with differ
ent parts OF the retina.
For example, as one goes from
bright light into darkness, the
vision is, at first, very bad, but
after some minutes improves
rapidly.
The retina has the power to
adapt itself to correspond with
variations in the intensity of IL
Illumination. The various parts Of
the retina vary in this manner.
Because Of the nature Of the
construction Of the eye. there are

Mechanism Of Eye Is Complicated

This is the first Of several interesting
articles by DR.. Fishbein on diseases of
the eye.
THE eyes are used constantly
Il almost from the moment of
birth to the time of death, except
for the hours spent in sleeping.
Good sight is necessary to en-
ioyable existence, and the handi-
cap of blindness one of the most
serious that can affect a human
being. Although the human eye
is one of the finest instruments of
which mankind has any knowl-
edge, even a normal eye has GER
tain defects.
The visual field of human be-
ing is not nearly as great as that
of many other species of living or
ganisms. A bird or a fly has
much wider range Of vision than
does the human being.
The mechanism of vision is
complicated and difficult to IN
derstand, except by those who
have some knowledge of the con-
struction of the eye.
The chief factors involved in
seeing are the optic nerve and
the center in the brain for vision;

Editor Tines-I certainly am
glad to hear Taxpayers views
about the Shortridge cafeteria. 1t
is true that the students are not
allowed to eat elsewhere, although
they can get greater variety,
and cheaper. We live only two
blocks from Shortridge, and want
ed our child to lunch at home,
partly to watch her diet, and be-
cause I thought a walk in the
fresh air would be more beneficial
than staying in the building.
1 had to write and ask some
teachers permission for my child
to come. to her own home to eat
her lunch, and the girl then was
issued a pass which she must
carry with her, for if students
are caught eating somewhere else
they may be expelled.
l think we parents should have
some say about our own children
and not have to mind the teachers
like the pupils do.
ms Duylng new DOCKS almost
every week is something else that
I think is an imposition on
parents. Although I bought sew
eral dollars worth Of books at the
beginning Of the semester, I still
have to buy new book almost
every week, and last year was re-
quired to buy a book just three
days before school was out.
I doubt if it ever was looked
into. I thought it perfectly ride
ulous, but bought it to keep my
child from being embarrassed.
The enormous graduation ex-
pense is a bugbear to many seniors
this year. I have heard several
students say that if they are grad
uated it will be on borrowed
money. Formal dresses and &C
cessories, photographs, invitations,
dozen roses to carry!
If the cost Of the latter were a
dollar a dozen, for a class Of 500
that would be $500 for one evening
for flowers. Wouldn't that feed a
great many hungry folk?

Speed Of Light

1T was in 1543 that Copernicus
Il announced his theory that the
planets revolved around the sun.
Tycho, by many years of OBJ
servations of the planets with an
accuracy greater than any up to
his time, collected the data needed
to clinch the theory
The data was analysed after
his death by Johann Kepler, who
had been his assistant. From it,
Kepler formulated the laws of
planetary motion.
Other great Danish scientists
include Ole Romer, who in 1916
made the first determination of
the speed of light.
He estimated it at 10000 miles
a second, slightly higher than the
accepted figure Of today Of 10000
miles a second.
Another great name is that Of
Hans Christian Oersted, who ranks
with Michael Faraday as one Of
the founders of the electrical era.
Oersted was the discoverer of
electromagnetism. The electro
magnet is the starting point Of
every electric generator and mo-
tor, to say nothing of such simpler
devices as doorbells and buzzers.

several visual disturbances which
do not represent actual defects, but
are the result Of the construction.
As one looks up at the blue sky
or as one looks suddenly at a white
ceiling, one notices a number Of
minute speckS that move in front
of the eye. These specks are the
blood corpuscles moving in the
smallest blood vessels Of the
retina.

Specks constantly seen may be signs
Of changes in the fluid material

Bright lights seen at night, as

Strange BedfelI01Us

P to a certain point the radi-
~ cal and the partisan of big
business find themselves rather
strangely and uncomfortably in
agreement. From the middle west
the cry arises that the big bank
erS are to blame for our present
crisis. But, in spite of distinctly
shady practices by many financial
leaders, I still feel that banking
in America is not big enough.
The economics and potential
SATELLITES of large scale organiza-
ton are so obvious that it is use
less to try to force some return to
the neighborhood bank. In any
time of pressure, small banks are
weak banks.
In spite of the dislocation
caused by large-scale production
and organization / see no hope of
less arassed world through the
process of unScrambling existing
combinations. AS far as banking
goes, think it is logical for us to
put all our eggs into one basket.
In all human activities that
must be the goal of those who be-
lieve that complete cooperation
is the salvation for existing eco
nomic difficulties.
OF course, the question of who
is going to hold the basket is a
vital one, but even this side of
purest collectivism rather would
deal with trusts and monopolies
than scattered aggregations of
capital and management. I ven-
ture to say that those practices in
our large financial institutions
which have been condemned uni
versally as unsound and unethical
readily could be duplicated and
Implicated in the small banks Of
the nation.

good judgment are to be obtained
by the simple process Of scaling
down the unit. For the moment

Il hoarders justify their mad
scramble to lay aside nest eggs on
the ground that they were punish
ing the various leaders who have
been less than scrupulous in hans
ding the public funds
I do not think the argument is
conceived in sincerity, and it has
even less support in logic. The
plain fact of the matter is that the
people who have suffered most
during the holiday are those who
had no money in the banks at all.
The man or woman who rushed
to his or her particular institution
and came away with currency or
gold to be put in vault was not
hurting the bankers nearly as
much as he was hurting the peo-
pie dependent on small cash pay
rolls.
The so-called tragedies of the
wellto-do are for the most part
mere inconvenience. Somebody
writes and says with great scorn

 She was accompanied by her son, John, and his wife, the former Florence Trumbull. Mrs. Coolidge motored from The Beeches to the church where, her head erect, she took her accustomed place in the family pew.
 Tn contrast to the service Satur- day when high dignitaries includ- ing President and Mrs. Hoover were in attendance, the congregation Sunday was composed only of reg ular members, friends and neigh bors of the family.
