THE SCIENTIFIC ATTITUDE

The. American people have always
reVerenced science. They have pour
ed out hundreds of millions of dol
lars to promate scientific education.
Their success and welfare has come
largely from the wonderful things
their scientists have done Yet do
they rule their own lives in scien-
tiAc spirit? They do not.
A leading Columbia University
scientist told a scientific fraternity
at New Haven, Conn, that the best
service men of science can give, is in
convincing people that they should
adopt the same sane and rational
and scientific attitude the scientist
has.
What is the scientific attitude? It
is not the ordinary popular attitude.
which is so often influenced by
passion, selfishness. jealousy. and
personal ambition The scientist
seeks only truth. and whatever re
suit will produce human welfare.
when our people get that attitude,
most of their troubles will vanish.

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA. = The
battle of the buttons is on ana
while we, from this observation post,
wouldn't call it a Waterloo or a
Gettysburg, it is presenting some
minor skirmishes that are well
worth recording.
The thing started calmly enough
except for the speed. In Philadel-
phia, neither the old line Republic
cans, nor Mr.. Wendell Willkie had
recovered from the shock before
buttoneers were hawking the lob
bies and the byways with Willkie
buttons. They were nothing fancy
of course, just simple red, white

At Chicago the button assembly

for Roosevelt hadn't been Off

Official circles agreed that the
next few days may tell whether
Europe's conflict is destined to over
run the Balkans and spread on
account of the Axis indicated thrust
aimed at Turkey and the strategic
Dardanelles.
The Turks, aided by British en-
gineers, are reported 'feverishly con-
structing Notifications on the Turk

Greece and Turkey are said to be
closely cooperating in all prepared
ness movements
Challenge Issued
The Turkish newspapers definite
ly reiterate the challenge that two
million Turkish bayonetsr await the
Axis attempt at invasion.
Both Germany and Russia are re-
ported strengthening their military
positions in the area near the mouth
of the Danube River where the river
flows into the Black Sea but the
Russian role is cloaked in uncer-
tainty.
Paramount Questions
Two conjectures are paramount
one would Russia, as Turkeys
friend. and with her own status in
southeast Europe involved, oppose
the joint German-Italian onslaught;
or-two-does the presence of Rus
sia's Red Armies merely signify Rus
STA is preparing to share the spoils
in the Balkans as she did after the

the number of German forces now
stationed in Rumania or enroute.

ELWOOD, Ind.-This pleasant lit
tie town, where Wendell Willkie was
born and raised and where he &C
copied the Republican nomination
for President, has a painful head
ache.
The folks ruefully call it "Willkie
Day hangover" and blame it on red
haired. busting Homer Capehart,
straw boss of the notification cere-
mony. The wealthy musical instru-
ment manufacturer, who two years
ago staged the famed grass roots
conference, sold the townspeople on
the idea that a golden harvest await
ed them.
The ten of thousands OF visitors
which he promised came, but they
didn't spend, and the only harvest
Elwood reaped was flock OF unpaid
bills.
Capehart was irresistibly persua-
sive. IF you folks have any get up,
he prodded them, you can make
yourselves some real money. There
will be half million visitors here,
so don't be afraid to spend a little
getting ready for them.

spend some. If you've ordered ten
thousand buns, double it. You'll get
your profit in volume"
