fortified against false and
deceiving notions which are
always trying to find a place
to land. Attempts at inva-
sions by ideas and doctrines
whose objective is to cap
ture the fort of personality
have to be constantly re-
pulsed. Plausible yet falla-
cious theories are challenged
and refused admission. 9th
erwise any person bonn
barded by a thousand per-
suasive ideas. each claiming
to be the truth, would, to use
st. Paul's phrase, "be blown

always on the. alert against

velop a materialistic, skepti-
cal frame Of mind which will
bar the doors against inva-
sions which if welcomed
would illuminate and enrich.
There are those who think
themselves as essentially
practical, logical and hard
headed. They glory in the
boast that they have to be
shown. They fear as the
plague sentimentalism and
emotionalism - that is. in
the realm of the spirit, not
IN the realm Of sport; they
revel in that. Such steel
themselves against COM
merce with the unseen lest
they be tricked by some
sophistry or fantasy of the
mind. And so they really
live in a room whose doors
and windows are the Ave
senses, where they feel quite
safe from what might be
called religious mysticism,
But into such insulated rooms
OF the personality, barri-
caded against outside intru-
sion, sooner or later there
are presences from without
that find a way to enter
even when the door is shut.
Robert Browning has de-
scribed these unexpected in

The Atomic Years

Let me express a word of
appreciation and admiration
for the exceptionally we'll
done series "The Atomic
Years" by William Hines.
This surely must be one Of
the most definitive newspaper
presentations of a scientific
subject which any newspaper
has published. The full series
had the stamp of authenticity
on it, yet each article was
interesting, well-written and
complete in itself.
/ am sure that Mr.. Hines
ability as a writer must have
been reinforced, however, by
strong support from The
Star, especially in such mat
tiers as time to obtain his in
formation and time to write
the series. This certainly
must have been an extended
period and I salute the good
judgment which made this
possible.
Harold F. Osborne,
Director, Biology News Bu-
reau.
The articles on THE
Atomic Years" by William
Hines have been immensely
interesting. The perplexities,
projects and procedures in
the realm Of nuclear fission
and fusion have been set
forth with perfect clarity of
thought and language.
No doubt many join me in
thanking Mr.. Hines and The
Star for some most informa-
tive and profitable reading.
/ myself would feel equally
appreciative for a similar ex-
position of such a subject as
electronics, about which most
OF us. I suspect, have as great
a curiosity as ignorance.

so Years Ago

One of Americas outstand-
ing educators was ready to
enroll so years ago in the
school of practical politics,
from which he was destined
to graduate as the valedic-
torian of democracy. In 1910
the country was restless I'M
der Republican leadership
and Democratic chieftains
were searching the woods for
a sturdy STRIPPING to develop
into presidential timber. AS
president of Princeton Uni
versity, Thomas Woodrow
Wilson had a reputation as
an intellectual blessed with
much common sense. Per-
sistent inquiries were made
OF him: Would he accept the
Democratic nomination for
Governor of New Jersey, then
a Republican STRONGHOLD
Finally on July 16, 1910, The
Star reported: Mr.. Wilson
has announced he will accept
the gubernatorial nomination
II he is convinced that a
majority of the Democratic
Party sincerely desires him to
run. I need not say that 1
am IN no sense a candidate
for the nomination. Wilson
said. but there has been so
much talk in respect to what
my attitude would be toward
such a nomination, that it
would be an affectation and
diScourtesy on my part to ig-
more the matter any longer.
Automobiles were causing
unpleaSantness between Dis
trict officials and nabobs of
neighboring States so years
ago. The Star of July II,

More pulsating than poll
tics were the death-defying
antics of the world-famous
acrobat-Blondin. This So
year-old Frenchman (real
name Jean Gravelet) stunted
on a tightrope over awesome
Niagara Falls. Even the
Prince of Wales once
watched breathlessly as he
crossed the falls on stills.
Such sh nanigans were
viewed dourly by The Star,
which noted on July IS, 1850:
"Blondin. the rope-dancer,
encouraged by impunity, VEN

Jump when he first ran over
the abyss Of Niagara. Then,
pausing midway over the
giddy height, he drank a bot

took a stove and table on his
shoulders and cooked pan
cakes, eating them on his
passage. AS a browning folly,
he carries a man on his
shoulders. The numerous
mischances to which the ad-
venturer exposes himself are
obvious enough. An English
pleasure-seeker once followed

he knew the time would come

100 Years Ago

After weeks of thunderous
tub = humping, a strange
hush fell over the Nations
political arena a century ago.
The Star of July IT, 1860,
observed: General apathy
seems to have command of
the forces of all the different
parties engaged in the exist
ing presidential contest. In
the whole course of our ex-
perience in such matters, we
never before saw so little in
terest taken in a national
election. On the Republican
side, none save the office
seekers and professional
plunder-mongers appear to
care the toss of a copper for
the result; while on the Dem
ocratic side, the existing split
has evidently paralyzed the
enthusiasm which in every
previous contest up to this
time has marked the efforts
of that party. :"

A Handful OF Peanuts;
A Span OF Is Years And
Then Local Restitution

Gilbert c. Cubbison, man
ager of the M. & K. store in
Caldwell, is in receipt of
letter from a resident of Philo,
whose conscience has been
bothering him for at least the
past 25 years over a handful
of peanuts.
The letter is as follows:
Dear Sir:
Enclosed please find Is
cents which / feel ! have owed
you for many years. When l
was about IL years old, l took
handful of peanuts from the
store. l have never been aole
to forget this even though it
happened when John Harper
was manager and your store
was located on Cumberland
street"
1t is presumed the alleged
wrong doing occurred back
in 1885 when the store was
located in the Kane building,
later occupied by Balls store
until the super market was
constructed.

Local Explosion
Results In Blaze

The Caldwell volunteer fire
department answered a major
fire call at the Dean Reed Motor
Sales garage Monday afternoon
at Ais o'clock.
The reason for the explosion
and fire was undetermined but
it was reported that a mechanic
was working on an older car that
is leased to the government for
mail purposes when the fire
broke out. No one was hurt and
the fire was quickly and effici-
emily put out.
There were two other vehicles
in the garage at the time of the
fire but they were undamaged
due to the fact that the burning
auto was pushed partially out of
the doorway. Smoke caused a
great deal of damage to the
newly constructed building but
very little fire destruction took
place with the exception of the
completely destroyed auto.
Loss from the fire was un-
determined at this time.
