Millikan, who is just about America’s best known scientist, does not believe that the world is ever going to come to an end. Far out in the cold darkness of interstellar night the universe, Dr. Millikan believes, is constantly re- building itself One age-long miracle is replacing worn-out stars and rejuvenating fading planets; when our sun burns to a cinder a new sun will replace it, and when the far-flung torches of the milky way burn down in their sockets the heavens will blaze with new lights. Dr. Millikan, being a scientist and dealing with such things as cosmic rays, is not concerned greatly with the human aspects of this vision. But, although our days are rather strictly limited and numbered, we can- not help being thrilled. Our souls never will be satis- fied with anything less than infinity and eternity; if we hear that the earth’s life is to end fifty million years from now we are depressed. The word “ever- lasting” is the greatest word in our vocabulary. This is odd, when you stop to think about it. We measure our daily affairs by single years, by decades, or at most by centuries. We speak of the “antiquity” of Egyptian pyramids 3000 years old, and to speculate, on the civilization of the year 2928 seems like peering into the most remote future. Yet we can switch glibly to the incredibly vast stretches of time in which the scientist deals; and we can shiver when we hear that our sun, aeons hence, will go out. Yet. this may not be so strange, after all. We are, as the psalmist said, as the flower that withereth; but. there is something strangely imperishable and un- quenchable in our hearts. Limited to a span of three- seore and ten years, we have, nevertheless, infinity within us. This may be irrational, but it is magnificent. It is what has sustained men in all ages, from the day of dank caves to the day of skyscrapers. It has heartened uncounted millions of nameless heroes to die for causes they only half understood, on dusty battlefields all the way from Arbela to Chauteau Thierry. It has lead other millions to endure lifetimes of slow, unrewarded toil, on tossing ships, in damp mines, on sun-baked It has raised, at inter- vals, lonely figures to solitary heights from which they could glimpse confused visions of splendor and farms, in gloomy city slums. trace some sort of pattern in humanity’s chaos. The world will never end—the universe does not know what death is! Did we, after all, need Dr. Millikan to tell us? Did we not know it all the time? THE ARMY OF SHADOWS The Grand Army of the Republic has been to hold a last national encampment in 1930 at Springfield, Ill. where Abraham Lincoln lies buried. The end of the trail is not far away for the Grand Army. In a few more years the thinning ranks must stack arms forever. It would be extremely fitting and right for the last encampment to be held by the tomb pf Lincoln. The Civil War—the “irrepressible conflict” of the historians—was a long war and a bitter war. It cost the lives of a great many young men and left wounds that took many decades to heal. But it gave the country unity which will last forever. And it gave us something more, something less tangible but no less precious; a great heritage of heroism and endurance. Lincoln already is something like a myth. The mag- hificent memorial at Washington, that raises its shin- Ing pillars over a clear pool, is more than a memorial he a former'president. It is, in a way, a symbol of all the things that our democracy holds dearest, an aver- fasting beacon dedicated to a figure that grows greater With the passing years. The Grand Army, too, is something like that. It is ot simply a collection of gray-haired, bent old men coats and campaign hats. It is an army ‘of marching forever ahead of us down the road «to the future. Like Lincoln, it has met death and is Geathless, It will endure as long as our country will } e every age, men have tended to grow dissatisfied own times. They have comforted them- drawn hope for the future, by looking back days of greatness, when there was more and less meanness. The Civil War period is, the time when there were giants. To unite, ceremony, homage to the Grand Army and to could not fail to stimulate and encourage us. od 3 i rz fay And the blue uniferm ought not to be the only one in tvidence at this encampment.

A WARNING OF CANCER Another warning of the alarming increase of the prevalence of cancer, one of the most dreaded of all diseases, is given by Dr. Frederick Dugdale of Boston at the Chicago convention of the American Association for Medico-Physical Research. “Millions in the United States are in early or poten- tial cancerous states,” he says. “Fully 5,000,000 others have the disease sufficiently advanced to be detected easily.” If cancer can be detected in time it can be avoided. The knife and the X-ray are extremely valuable, if ap- plied in time. Delay is fatal. If you have any reason to suspect that you may have a cancerous condition, see a good doctor at once. Quacks and a aileiti) will kill you. The cancer death rate can M€ reduced if cancer cases can be detected promptly. Do not take any chances. MRS. ROSENTHAL PASSES Mrs. Lillian Rosenthal died in a New York hospital the other day. And if that name doesn’t recall any- thing to your memory, we'll add that she was the widow of Herman Rosenthal, for whose murder Police Lieu- tenant Charles Becker and four gangsters died in the electric chair. Roseathal was a gambler. District Attorney Whit- man, later governor, was investigating police depart- ment graft. Rosenthal was to tell all he knew. The night before he was to testify four gangsters shot him dead. They were arrested, Lieutenant Becker was found to be involved, and all were executed. It is said that on the night of Becker’s electrocution Mrs. Rosenthal refused to go to bed until she learned that the execution had taken place. Now, with the old enmities forgotten, she herself dies in peace—and puts the famous Rosenthal murder one more notch farther back in history. | Editorial Comment | SANDWICHES AND PIE (Omaha World-Herald) We don’t propose to start an argument about food with George Rector.

DEALING WITH BANK ROBBERS (Williams County Farmers Press) The Farmers Press would like to suggest-that the solution of the question of controlling and subduing bank bandits must be made by the architect and sci- entist rather than by the peace officer and the politician. The organization of local vigilance committees will not stop the bank robbers, because they know they can have their job done and get out of town before the vigilantes know what has nappened. The installation of tear gas in the bank vaults, as has been done in Williston, seems to be a step in the right direction. The robbers are not likely to tackle a gas- protected bank, when there are so many unprotected easy marks all over the country. But tear gas is not enough, as this precaution would have no terrors for gunmen provided with gas m 5 e There should be a special architectural design for bank buildings, with the cash and the workers housed behind solid steel doors. There should be numerous | electrical appliances, both for signaling and defensive purposes, and at least one employe snould be placed behind bullet-proof barriers, hidden from view at all times, well armed and with full view and complete com- mand of every inch of space in the lobby. The present practice of conducting country town banks with all the cash within »easy reach of every passer-by is quite obviously obsolete, and those who pin their faith in local gun squads or even tear gas are doomed to disappointment. Perhaps the insurance compani engaged in the business of insuring bank funds against theft are the ones that should make the first move. They should bring to bear on the problem the inventive genius of the architect, the electrician and the physicist. The old method of fighting the gunmen with their own weapons has proved such @ rank failure that even the most amateurish harvest hand has taken up the lucrative trade of stuffing bank funds into gunny sacks and mak- ing off with them in a gaudily painted motor car. NIGHT WORK FOR WOMEN (New York Times) Physicians, life insurance actuaries and many scien- tific investigators are strongly opposed to night work for any one except in cases of “great emergency or absolute industrial necessity.” The words quoted are those of one of the medical authorities whose opinions are given in a report Pied published by the Women’s Bureau of the United States Department of Labor on the effect of night work on women. There are many reasons why the health is seriously affected by regu- lar nightly employment. Most night workers do not get enough sleep. The noise and interruptions of daily life in a household some of whose members work at SD HOT OR COLD APPLICATIONS One of the most valuable uses of water is to use it in the form of hot or cold applications to relieve pain or banish congestion. If you will remember that there are just two principal effects of heat or cold applied to the body, you will find it very easy to select the right treat- ment. Heat applied to the tissues always relaxes muscular fibres. On the other hand, cold will haye the opposite effect of contracting the muscles and producing temporary anemia. It is easy to see that in- asmuch as di e and pain are usually accompanied by a contrac- tion of muscular tissnes, in most cases relief can generally be ac- complished by the application of heat to the congested tissues. A persistent pain in the abdom- inal region may be caused by any number of specific irritations which have stimulated the muscles in that section to contract in an effort of the body to avoid further pain by increased tension. The sensitive nerves are really quite cowardly and this contraction is seldom produc- tive of the best results in removing 8 N as Fs I EON hos z 9 a mad lated the forceful contraction. The blood collects in the tense tissues and the most sensible thing for you to do is to scatter this congestion by the application of hot cloths or hot running water, and thus free the blood circulation, which can then readjust metabolism and bring about @ quicker cure. If a small part, such as a finger or toe is struck by a blow, it is often wise to apply cold in the form of an ice pack for a few minutes. This -| will stop bleeding of the capillary circulation, but this should always be followed by the administration of warm water which is gradually brought up to as high a temperature as the body can stand without burn- ing. After ee the flow of blood in the capillaries, it is the best plan to increase the circulation and carry away as much as possible of the dead congested blood which will otherwise stagnate and decompose. If the injury has been of a nature to break in the skin, and the blood is flowing from the wound, it is the best plan to only apply heat. For instance, when a nail is run into the foot, place the foot at once in a pan or tub of hot water and continue this treatment for at least a half hour or longer. This will remove the possibility of blood poisoning developing, and I have seen even well developed case of septicemia from wounds disappear in an hour’s treatment of this kind. Remember that it is usually best to-relax the muscles and encourage free circulation of the blood if you ih to get the safest good result ment that he had and Smith.

He sleeps soundly every night because his defeat is a dead certainty and victory this year is not one of his objects. ‘thomas is good material for a newspaper story, first, because no one else ever bothers to write about him and, second, because no one will complain.

If the night worker is the mother of a family, she gets along with very little sleep in order to care for the children during the day. Many surveys of in various parts of the country have dem- onstrated that married women with children seek jobs on night shifts. Besides suffering from the fatigue poisons caused by lack of sleep, night workers endure 2thr incidental hardships. They are deprived almost entirely of sun- shine, “most valuable of natural tonics.” Frequent! their sight fails because of poor artificial light. is is also responsible for a higher number of accidents in among day workers. Working conditions in gen- eral were found by the survey to bad. No chairs were provided, though in many cases sitting down would not have affected the work adverstly. Lunch periods were either very short or were omitted al- together. Overtime without suitable compensation was the common practice. More than 3,000 of the women included in the survey work more than ten hours nightly, and of these nearly a third work eleven hours or more. : Night work under such conditions for men is bad enough.
