Research Director, The Presidents Committee for Recent Social f Trends (Written for the Associated
 PreSs.)

Happiness never has been con- considered as a social problem. It has been the theme of the phil osopher and the poet, but it never has been attacked by science. h. deed, the comment of the misguid- l cd moralists has been: The more you seek it the less you find it" There has been no platform in the Republican or the Democratic party on the subject. Yet it is the one thing we all crave.
 While many persons will think it highly fanciful to discuss the question of increasing happiness and probably will condemn any one attempting such discussion as an impractical idealist, yet l doubt if anyone would be so bold as to say the happiness of our people cannot be increased.
 If science should investigate the subject the most probably hypoth- esis of approach would, I think, center around affection. Such would certainly be the advice of the novelist.
 The affectional life of a people clusters around marriage and the family. One in every six mar riages will end in divorce. Yet, curiously enough, about three out of every four marriages at any one time are found to be happy marriages.
 Family Problems Studied
 The attempt to deal with fam fly problems by the clergy, by the physicians, by the courts, and by a growing number of social agencies and institutions is meet ing with considerable success.
 It seems probable they will throw a great deal of fight on forces and factors which play part in producing happiness or unhappiness. It seems very prob able that family problems will throw great deal of light on the question of happiness.
 Another great agency operating irs society today and placing the pursuit of happiness in the realm of public policy is the mental hy- giene movement.
 +ba v,,o,,+o1 o,l habits of large number of peo. pie are extremely bad is just be- ing recognized, and we are just 5 beginning to learn some of the hygienic principles which will pre- vent such state.
 5, The task of mental hygiene is very large one and I imagine it will be many decades before success will be conspicuous, but their efforts should be aided by society in every way possible. < Work Affords Happiness
 The family does not offer the only background against which Happiness may be observed. Many gre said to find happiness in work. At least some do not find it a toll and take a great in- terest in it. There are certainty types of work which are a source of joy and happiness also.
 Happiness is to be found for many in religion and it is true that for large proportion of man. kind religion does bring a peace and abiding joy.
 One other foci of forces that make for happiness is the years of childhood. The capacity for happiness or unhappiness- is de- termined somewhat by the forma- ton of our personality in the early years of our life. This is an im- portant enough problem as to be the theme of separate discus sion.

Stronger Laws Needed
He asserted that in the nations

Taking up the question of con
trolling firearms, Copeland said;
"Since the end of the World
War we have imported into the
United States more than a mil
lion pistols. Almost half of that
number, of domestic manufac-
ture, are sold annually. Should
any restriction be placed on the
sale of firearms?
"Eighty-seven b m a ch i n
guns made in New York have
been found in private hands in
Chicago. There is no war or
sporting use for Submachine
gun. Why should it's manufac-
ture and transportation be per-
mitted?
"Statistics show h a t of the
hOmicideS in the United States,
firearms are responsible for II
per cent. In England they are
used in 10 per cent of slayings;
IN Australia, II per cent; in
Japan, l per cent. Do these fig
ures mean anything in forming
an opinion as to what we should
do about the weapons Of crime?
"UnIess there are adequate
sentences a n d sentences made

"The cost of crime is steadily

as high as $13,OOO,OOO,OOO an

but simple, her face has charm
without makeup, she shampooS
her own hair, and she talks like

Miss Moore, who's now Mrs.
AL Scott, quit the screen in 1929
and since then has been having
herself "a time"
First she tried continuous
round of parties IN Hollywood,
but tired of that and settled
down on her Beverly Hills
"farm." That was great fun. she
says now but, becoming restless,
she went to art school and tried
her hand at sculpture. Not so

HUNT GIVES 81
VOLUMES TO "U"

TUCSON, Ariz., Sept. 15.-The
complete graphic history of his long
and colorful political career is tl.c
gift which former governor George
w. P. Hunt has bestowed upon the
University of Arizona library. The
donation is in the form Of fifty
one volumes of newspaper clippings,
Governor Hunts personal scrap
books, which he has been carefully
collecting since territorial days, and
which date from 1910 to 1888
The scrapbooks consist chiefly OF
newspaper clippings, arranged in
chronological order since 1910, and
deal almost exclusively with Arizona
state politics insofar as Gov. Hunt
was concerned. AS the history Of
the development Of the state OF
Arizona is almost identical with the
political life of Ex-Gov. Hunt, these
volumes will be of tremendous value
to historians, students of Arizona
government, as we'll as biographers.
About three-fourths of the clip
pings found in the scrapbooks are
taken from Arizona newspapers.
The rest are clipped from news
papers and magazines throughout
the country. While all phases of
government are given space, am
examination of the books shows
special emphasis on those things
in which the governor was most in
terested, notably the Colorado Riv-
er, the death penalty, workmen's
compensation, and prison conditions.
Election campaign articles also
play an important part, and thru
out the entire collection, unfavor-
able comment concerning Ex-Gov.
Hunt and his administration are
given space as well as favorable cri-
ticism.
The larger newspapers of the
state are of course better repre-
sented than the smaller ones.
"The Silver Belt, OF Miami, is a
frequent contributor, as is the
Huntsville Herald, of Huntsville,
Missouri, birthplace of the governor.
According to Rudolph H. Gjels-
ness, librarian, the books will not
be available for General circula-
ton, due to their value and fra
gility, but may be inspected by those
interested in them in a special
archives room" which is being pre-
pared for this and similar collec-
tions. In his letter of donation. Ex-
Gov. Hunt said that he was placing
the volumes in the hands of the
University of Arizona library be-
cause he knows "that they will be
