Nevertheless, they represent the

The military men say, Keep it

For the time being, although ii
may be very short time, the United
States Congress has the power of
decision. 1t will decide the nature
of Americas temporary control.
One Course Proposed.
One course proposed is that we
sew up the secret, while developing
its destructive potential; that we
proceed on the theory that another
war-perhaps the final warts COM
ing and that we must be prepared
to make this hideous weapon ex-
clusively our own. The logical con-
sequence of this course is more
terrible than any one cares to con-
template. Even those who advocate
1t admit that the secret cannot be
held long. If this course is to be
followed, therefore, we must begin
using the bombs soon.
The scientists urge that the
secrecy be lifted. There will be
safety. they say, only when all the
world knows all there is to be known.
If possession of this scientific knowl-
edge is universal, they reason, any
misuse of it will be estopped. They
dread any prolonged effort to make
of their discovery nothing more
than a diabolical mechanism of de-
struction. They wish to continue
their collaboration with scientists
everywhere, the same collaboration
that brought about the discovery
All this to the end that mankind
may master atomic energy and not
be mastered by it.
In Congress the contention has
narrowed down to the choice be-
tween two kinds of legislation One
represented by the May-Johnson bill
is based primarily on secrecy and
military use. The other represented
by the Mcmahon bill is based pri-
marily on the uses of peace.

that the only way to make a man

surest Way to make him untrust-

your distrust. And it is from this
lesson that I draw the conviction

Well, there's Elizabeth Arden and

neither knows hooting thing about

SUFFERING?
from Mrs. r. Z. W., Arlingt0nJ
Perhaps some Of the readers Of
the Clearing House will be able to
help me with my problem. My son,
2h years old, has just recently
started suffering. He has COM
plete vocabulary and speaks very
distinctly for his age He Is in per-
feet health, happy and normal in
every respect. He has two sisters,
aged 10 and Is, and, Of course, gets
very much attention from the whole
family. I have not discussed the
matter with q doctor Of any kind
since the suffering was only mo-
ticeable about three weeks ago.
This is probably something that
would pass over and clear up in
a short time. but In the event It
isn't, I certainly would appreciate
information as to how to correct
the condition before 1t gets worse.
