PEOPLE FEAR THE
THINGS THEY DO
NOT UNDERSTAND

The beautiful voice. of a famous
opera singer issuing forth In song
caused a panic on board a ship!
Seriously-that is the content Of a
news dispatch from off the coast of
Australia where an American ship
carrying explorers was recently an
chored. The voice of the singer came
through gramophone, and the
audience among whom 1t caused a
panic was composed of natives, who
ran In terror from something that
they did not understand.
1t may seem incomprehensible to
us that a beautiful voice should in
still dislike or fear. Whatever the
language of the song, you may say, is
not beautiful singing beautiful to all
who can hear-as the trilling of a
bird must sound the same to men of
any color and any language?
But the beauty of the voice Is
obscured by the fact that its source
Is something the natives do not un-
derstand. For that reason 1t Is an
object Of suspicion-and Of fear.
If we stop to think about 1t, 1t will
surprise many Of US to realize how
much we have in common with those
Australian natives In that we fire.
quently refuse to see beauty in the
things we do not understand. We
too are suspicious and fearful Of
things we do not know. Most of the
worlds bigotry and prejudice springs
from ignorance. And many of US, II
we but realized 1t, create a spectacle
no less foolish and unreasonable than
those natives In panic over a beauti-

thought passionately. She
L pressed her face close to the
toy window, so passersby would not
notice her burning cheeks nor tear

Suddenly she was face to face with
it-that overwhelming longing for some
one to make Christmas worthwhile.
"Why am l such a fool?" she asked
herself miserably. "A grown woman

After while she got up and washed

She couldn't eat yet-she was too

the fact that no one really cared
Well, why not find some one? And
then, as though in answer, she saw the

even thought maybe, If 1 happened to
find the right youngster-I might adopt
one"
She stopped, a little breathless. She
hadn't meant to commit herself so
far. Yet the lady was very kind, and
arrangements were easily made.
She had never been to the barracks
before, and she thrilled to the ride
over the snowy road, but she was
more fascinated by the children under
her care. Their too-bright eyes gilt
tered, and they pressed sharp noses
against the car windows, leaving
marks where they had touched.
They were excited, terribly excited,
but happy, too. So was Marcia. Joy
and excitement shone from her eyes,
making her usually pleasant but rather
plain countenance radiant.
He stood tall and straight in his
officers uniform, handsome man, not
many years her senior. AS soon as
the children began eating, he came
over and introduced himself.

It fast. "I'll want to see you again,
soon. We have so much in common,
you know-we're both lonely, we like
children, we enjoy Christmas parties
and want to know IL you like hiking
and tobogganing, movies, operas, lots
of things. Me, for instance"
"Of course" answered Marcia. "But
let me go now. Here comes that well
fare lady" She pulled away. "We
were just coming" she apologized.
The lady smiled. "No hurry. But
