will be useful centuries hence: that
one accidental oddity should give a
creature complete triumph, when all
its other oddities or ordinary qualities
are just as likely as not to whelm it
in defeat-these are condolences fitted
not so much for the Victorian novel,
as for the Victorian melodrama.
These facts are being more and
more widely recognized in Europe, and
the official defense of Darwinism is
wearing very thin even in England.
1t had its most conspicuous collapse
in the astonishing incident Of the en-
counter between Sir Arthur Keith and
Mr.. Belloc. If our public opinion were
enlightened about the latest scientific
news, that encounter would be recog-
nized as decisive battle. Mr.. Wells
had suggested that there was no scien-
tific reaction against Darwin. Mr..
Belloc gave him more than a score of
scientific names and quotations to
the contrary, including one from
Vialleton. Sir Arthur Keith made a
fat contradiction. He said that Vial
Teton had never said anything of the
sort. 1t was then discovered, to the
wonder of the world. that Mr.. Belloc.
that obscure amateur, was talking
about the last and most important
book by Vialleton. of which Sir Arthur
Keith. the supreme specialist, had not
heard.

This business about Creative Evo-

two or three nights, as if to prepare
its audience for the practice of living

on the meager pittance he vas get

had taken the job simply because
IL gave him so much time for writ

the small salary and the lack of OPP

The unhappiness brought by his

bitterness had crept into his heart,
as he watched the crowd pay trlhl
ute to Everett Elstun. the literary
lion of Raymondyille.
He wondered how Dorothy had
got Elstun to her party: he was a
bit of a recluse and seldom mingled
with the crowd. He was surprised
as he saw him walking across the
room, with an eager look upon his
face.
"How are you coming with your

This win include broad amendments
to the AAA, great extension of the
grain futures act and passage o.
the Tugwell food and drugs bill.
While he insists on continuance of
crop control, Mr.. Wallace advises
against falling into the pit of "scarc-
ity economics; nevertheless he de-
Tended the working of the AAA re-
duction schemes to date.
He sees "the end of our period of
emergency adjustments. of drastic
reduction in farm output coming
into view" Hereafter, the task
may include adjustment of produc.
ton to a rising demand, he says.
To this end, as a safeguard against
the effects of crop failure in the
future, the secretary develops his
proposal for IAN ever normal gran
ary." Larger reserves against crop
failures would be maintained. These,
he believes. should remain In the
control of the farmers, through st0r-
age and government loan arrange
ments, coupled with an obligation
to participate In continued crop
adjustments. BY co-ordlnating stor-
age with crop adjustments, farm
ers would have the beginning of
means to control live stock pro-
duction cycles. it is held.
The secretary defends the pro-
posed amendments to the AAA on
the ground that they really did not
enlarge his powers but merely
sought to remove uncertainties in
the law and to specify more clearly
the secretary's power to enforce
these marketing agreements against
the recalcitrant few"
The Tugwell amendment to the
food and drugs act is defended by
Wallace on the ground that 1t would
remove from the government "the
formidable obligation of proving
that claims made in the labelling.
of patent medicines are both false
and fraudulent" and provide more
drastic penalties, including Jail
terms for violations.
He defended the section of the
proposed amendment which would
give him ~czaristic control over all
food, drug and cosmetic advertis-
ing, a feature which raised a storm
of protests in the last session on the
ground that it invaded the freedom
of the press.

Marked Trait
of Criminal Element

A great writer has affirmed that
fraudulent fnanclers and embezzlers
are generally fat, and quotes .Jabez
Belfour, Whitaker Wright and Ho-
ratio Bottomley. "The bogus agent,
the shady money leader, and all their
kidney, are generally well-clothed in
flesh"
Be that, as it may. all authorities
are combined to assert two universal
characteristics of the criminal: enor-
nous vanity and an insensibility to
pain. AS to the first trait, some of
the most notorious murderers have
been eager to see what the newspa-
pers said about them. Lacenalre, a
cold-blooded assassin, c%omplacently
told his guardians that he had given
the papers something to write about.

speaks contemptuously about people
who are fools enough to work"
He is touchy and quarrelsome, and
very sensitive to ridlcule. All this
springs from egotism, and egotlsm
gives birth to crime.
AS to insensIbllity to pain, 1t Is
notorious that a criminal sentenced
to the lash will bear a punishment
which would kill an ordinary man.
Thieves and burglars hurt in their
f~elonlous operations will conceal
their Injuries with a stoicism impos-
slble to an honest man. And the
