Corn, American Product,
Leads Cotton and Wheat

In the days Of Pharaoh and Joseph,
we read that there was corn in Egypt.
But the corn referred to was wheat
and barley, not the corn of the western
world that we know, says writer In
the Montreal Herald. When they
speak OF corn in Great Britain they
mean either barley, oats, or wheat.
Corn In the western world means In
dian corn or maize.
When white men first came to the
New world, they found the native in

had never seen before; so they gave 1t

II Is in the United States that corn Is

Latin Inscription

To the Editor of The stal

To the Editor OF The Star:
It is reported that q new issue of 81
silver certificates will bear the Latin
inscription, "Novus ordo seclorum," !"

I suggest court injunction to stop
this issue unless or until this inscrip-
tion is eliminated. 1t appears to be as
close as the Socialists can get to the
phrase, "A New Deal" in Latin, and,
as this Is public money, representing
wealth which the New Deal seeks to
destroy, the inscription does not seem
appropriate.

the President and his followers would
tremble at the consequences to them
selves of Haunting their mistakes in the
face of every citizen. When 1t comes
to national inscriptions, what's wrong
with the time honored "Sic semper
tyrannis"? Every American In the coun-
try knows that much Latin, whereas
"Novus ordo seclorum" might be taken
by some to mean "a new order worth
flfty-nine cents"

tions are best. How about I'm God We

Henri Barbusse.

Henri Barbusse is dead In the midst
of the propaganda to which he chose to
devote his best talents. A Communist
since 1923, he sacrificed his genius to the
proletariat, not 50 much because he was
entirely convinced Of the doctrines Of
the extreme radical cause as because he
felt in his heart that he must make
some contribution to humanitarian prog
ress. His limitation, it seems. was that
Of partial comprehension of the facts.
He did not realize that war is only a
negative aspect Of positive processes OF
social development. Nor did he under
stand that poverty is but q minus factor
in o system whose plus values are at
least equally important.
Born In the shadow Of the Franco
Prussian conflict, he was educated at
the University of Paris in period when
atheism and pessimism were the fashion.
The background and the environment
Of his career thus were hostile to the
freedom which 3 philosopher should
Evening star., 1935-08-31

have. Sensitive, idealistic and pitifully
impractical, Barbusse cultivated burn
ing anger against the forces which he
considered responsible for the pain, the
greed and ruthless efficiency which he
found all about him. His rage was
expressed in everything he wrote. and
the outbreak Of Armageddon in 1914
gave him an opportunity which several
decades Of apprentice effort had pre-
pared him to seize-in lie Feu" he,
became the spokesman of the disillu-
stoned youth Of Europe, the prophet of
the wasted generation" Of the whole
wide world.
Critics generally acknowledged the
power Of the book. They also conceded
without hesitation the courage which
had been required for the writing Of 1t.
The author, it was agreed, was entitled
to credit for his bravery and for the
passion Of his conviction. But there
was another side to the story-war was
not all horror, men were not all brutes,
suffering was not all vanity. But
Barbusse, prejudiced by temperament,
training and experience. could not be
expected to see the universal picture.
Yet his own nature was proof of the
civilization he opposed. and the number
OF his readers was evidence that he did
not stand alone. Mankind must appre-
ciate peace and justice-otherwise there
would be no tolerance of pacif1sts or
radicals. That few revolutionary propa-
gandists grasp that truth is one Of the
tragedies of the age.
Barbusse, however, was an artist and
will be remembered among the creative
spirits of his time. His failure to attain
complete maturity will not deprive him
of immortality. He will have his place
among the prophets of protest if not
among the great apostles of human
charity and brotherhood.

Bird Men.

In view of the extraordinary advance
ment in the devising and the use Of
aviation machines capable Of high speeds
and long-sustained flights, efforts toward
the development Of nianpower flying
apparatus would seem to be futile and
needless. Yet the goal Of actual human
flight without elaborate mechanism con-
tinues to be sought. It Is in truth q
primary ambition Of man to give himself
wings. There was a young Greek named
Icarus many centuries ago who sought
to fly and. according to legend, he sue
ceeded in getting OF the earth and far
enough aloft to bring himself so close
to the sun that its rays melted the wax

with which his wings were attached to
him, whereupon he fell into the sea and
was drowned.
This bit of classical tragedy is re-
called by the announcement from Berlin
that a German pilot named Duennbel
has made three short but successful
fiights-successful in that there was no
casualty-with q plane driven by his
own leg power. And this In turn revives
memory of the late Of Otto Lilienthal.
German rnachinist, who sought to solve
the problem Of human flight by means
Of q glider. He made some two thou
sand glides in safety. but in August,
1896, he was killed by fall when his
machine was upset by sudden gust
Of wind.
After the Great War the Germans.
prohibited by the peace treaty from en-
gaging in motorized aviation, undertook
to train themselves in flight by means
of gliders, and their accomplishments
in this direction were remarkable. De-
MED the use of power planes, they de-
veloped high skill in the handling OF
their WINGS" and made some extraor-
dinary records. This started gliding as
a sport elsewhere, and in this country
much was done in that way that con-
tributed to the advancement of aviation
through the training of pilots in the de-
velopment of a sense of balance. 1t is
not surprising that this latest achieve
ment of a legpower plane should have
occurred in Germany.
OF course, the manpower plane can
not become in any sense rival to the
motorized machine. 1t is only stunt, "
but 1t may be a contribution to the
science of fight. It is indeed likely to
be OF service in training. At any rate, 1t
suggests the possibility that the problem
of inexpensive individual air transport
may be solved by some such means. Man
has taken to the air so universally that
the single unit manpower flying ma
chine" may come to be supplement to
the long distance mass transportation
system that is now so rapidly developing.

The chief food of the spider monkeys,
DR.. Carpenter found, consisted of fruits
and nuts. Sometimes they search under
bark and In dead limbs for larvae and
insects. They also consume small guam
titles of buds and flowers. The troops
start feeding shortly after dawn and
breakfast lasts until about 10 O'Clock,
when the adults rest and the young
play. Dinner starts in the late after
noon and may continue until dark.
Normally they travel along the upper
surfaces Of limbs, using all four feet and
carrying the tail arched over the back.
When crossing from one limb to another
they use this powerful tail to support
themselves from limb. During these
movements hands, arms and tail are
used at the same time to make contacts
with supports. Spider monkeys, Dr.. Car
penter found, show a strong tendency
to keep their heads upward. Therefore,
when coming down perpendicular limb,
vine or tree trunk they go backward,
rather than head foremost. They fire.
quently make long jumps outward and
downward, covering at times more than
80 feet. While jumping the animal
spreads out its arms, legs and tail, which
serve as a sort of parachute. Several
times, however, DR.. Carpenter saw ami
mails release all holds and drop straight
downward 20 or IS feet to lower limbs
or treetops The average speed of loco
motion Is about that of a man walking
at top speed.
Groups of spider monkeys, DR.. Car
penter reports, are semi-nomadic. Each
group occupies a fairly definite area OF
the forest, although it may overlap
slightly with the areas of other groups.
Within this territory they wander freely,
but with their activities centering around
food and lodge trees. OF one clan which
he observed, Dr. Carpenter reports: "Al-
most every night this group slept within
earshot Of camp. For eight successive
nights they returned to the same group
of trees. Throughout the day the group
travelled, in general, over the same routes
from one food tree to another and from
favorable places in the deep forest where
the midday siesta occurred. Several
other groups we're regularly located in
their own particular home areas. Ex-
perienced hunters make use Of the fact
that groups tend to inhabit special
areas"
Mother spider monkeys, he found, are
careful of their young. He observed
them travel across several tree tops,
catch their infants, put them on their
backs and carry them away. At that
they appear as If they were guarding
their young from other monkeys, or from
q human observer or hunter. They help
their emi-independent infants across
difacult places in the treetop roads,
usually by pulling separated vines or
branches together to make a bridge.
Sometimes there Is almost a minutes
delay between the time the bridge is
finished and the time the infants start
to cross. At other times the mothers
take their young on their backs across
dificult places and then set them down
on the other side.
"a relatively great variety Of play pat
terms Is shown by young spider mon-
keys" DR.. Carpenter reports. Little. II
