(Official City, State and Coun‘y Newspaper) THE HUNT FOR WISDOM William Beebe, naturalist, has sailed for a tiny island ; in the Bermudas group, where he will spend the next & few months in a diving suit walking around on the “| floor of the ocean to look at the fishes, is Between dives, Mr. Beebe will drag the floor of such Parts of the ocean as he cannot visit in person. He doesn’t know just what he is going to find, but he is con- fident that when he is through he will know a great deal more about certain obscure forms of marine life than he knows now. ra ‘The bump of curiosity is a strange thing and it leads men into strange places. Mr. Beebe's discoveries will not have what we like to call practical value; nobody will get rich off of them, no new industries will grow out of them, no great change in our habits of thought will be caused by them. The world will wag on in much the same way whether or not his expedition is successful. Why, then, should he go? And why should we stay- at-homes, feeling as we do about it all, nevertheless ad- mire him for going? | ‘The human race, like the elephant’s child in Kipling’s story, has an insatiable curiosity. It is forever col- lecting facts. Some of them are very useful and some of them are not but the collection keeps growing, year by year, regardless, And the story of its growth is the story of the advance of mankind from darkness to light. The world is still a very mysterious place. In the be- ginning it was infinitely more so. A few struggling hu- man beings, savage and ignorant, huddled in caves and nourished a life that was little higher than that of the bear and the ape. All around was darkness. All of the Poetry, beauty, knowledge, sacrifice and hope of future generations were hidden behind a veil. In all the world | there was no ambition higher than the ambition to get ® warmer cave, no dream brighter than the dream of an uninterrupted supply of meat. But these brutish men had one redeeming feature. They were inquisitive. They had a great wonder, a great curiosity, and they had to satisfy it. So they began inquiring into things. They sought the “why” and the “how” of everything. Little by lit- tle, in century-long struggles, they added to their knowl- edge. They came out of their caves and built houses. They learned how to till the ground, how to build boats, how to tame horses and get themselves carried’ from Place to place; they learned, also, how to make crude musical instruments, how to paint pictures and carve images out of wood and stone, how to make things that were beautiful as well as useful. ‘Thus the slow advance was begun. In the years that + have passed it has carried the race a long way. Out of ; it has been born a new vision of the world and man’s "Place in it; a vision that sees it, not as a prison house, but as a region in which anything is possible—in which the human race can reach any height it desires, § That is where our insatiable curiosity has led us. ; Beebe's trip to the Bermudas is just another manifesta- tion of it. DETROIT SSlS 55 passers [RES SOL COMPLICATED GOLF No royal and ancient law prevents a golfer, whether ace or duffer, from weighting his bag with a young arsenal of clubs. But golf's iron age has its rebels, and they are murmuring audibly. Arms limitation is in the air. The complaint of excessive ironmongery has its humanitarian phase.

He continues: “Our experiences aré coming faster than ever before, both in our industrial world and in our domestic life. growing worse. I do not believe this; I think we are headed in the right direction and that we should learn to interpret our new life rather than protest against it.

Because ugly, depressing side of it and ignore its Possibilities for the future. It is for that reason that Ford’s book is important. This man, who knows more about the age of power and machinery than any other, can look to the future with confidence. If we are wise we will listen to what he has to say, so that we can make sure that the new age will shape itself 50 as to bring us those great ad- vances which it has made possible. A NEVER-ENDING WAR Ordinary rules of sanitation in the home and by municipalities are saving the lives of thousands of Amer- icans annually and making virulent epidemic’ almost unheard of. How many people a few years ago knew that malaria germs were spread by the mosquito and that many disease germs were broadcast by the common housefly? No greater in number than these were those who real- ized the efficiency of screens, covered garbage cans, clean yards and the elimination of stagnant water in exterminating thé mosquito and the fly. 4 A fly-in the house is a sign of careless housekeeping in this era of swat-the-fly. It is only in the poorest tenement districts and the squalid home of the moun- taineer that the housefly is still given free rein to taint food and carry disease germs from Person to per- son. Neither is the mosquito permitted to inject his malaria germs into the veins of every sleeping human. To successfully combat the fly and the mosquito the campaign should be launched early in the year. But the battle against summer's pestiferous purveyors of disease must not stop with preventatives. Debris must not be Permitted to accumulate, garbage cans must be kept tightly closed at all times and screens must be kept in repair. And the fly swatter must be kept in daily use, IN ANDREW JACKSON’S DAY Now that the inauguration is over, it is interesting to turn back the clock for a hundred years and compare the America of today with the America that inaugurated Andrew Jackson a century ago, in 1829. The country had 13,000,000 inhabitants then. Only seven per cent of them lived in cities. New York had & population of approximately 200,000. The nation’s first steam locomotive had just made its appearance. West of the Alleghenies the country was just beginning to fill up. The great Mississippi river steamship fleet was just being started. ‘You could go on like that for half an hour. The con- trast is instructive. By studying the change that has come over the country during the past century we can strengthen our patriotism and prepare for the changes that are to come in the next century. THE DOCILE CHILD By ALICE JUDSON PEALE Occasionally one meets a child of whom one may enumerate all the social virtues, who nevertheless gives the impression that he lacks some quality essential to his genuine hap- Piness and success. His docile man- ners and engaging ways bring him approval wherever he goes. His mother and teacher are charmed with a child who, while attractive and com- petent, never makes trouble for any- one. The other children find him an agreeable playmate. He always will do anything that is suggested and will take without complaint any part assigned to him. He is ready to drop whatever he is doing to obey a com- mand, join a game or oblige a friend. Because he is so generally affable he meets with no criticism. ‘Everyone is satisfied to have him remain quite as he is. We seldom question the behavior of these people who, with- out friction, adapt themselves to our convenience. But the parent who desires for this type of child a rich, first hand exe perience of life will help him to guard and strengthen that individuality which he seems to be all too ready to give up for a friendly smile or a word of praise. He will encourage his little tenta- tive moves towards self assertion and the development of initiative. By re- specting his child’s occupations he will teach him to feel that one should not put aside what one is doing for the first friendly comer. He will find a hundred subtle ways to indicate that many things are even more impor- tant than popularity, and that indeed the best kind of life comes to those who, while they are considerate and sweet tempered, pursue their own course with sturdy independence and an approval that comes from within. ——_____ GONE ARE THE DAYS ine ee said I was good look- CAPTAIN FRIED’S HOBBY There is an old theory that you can get a pretty ac- curate picture of @ man by finding out what his hobby is, That, the theory says, will tell you what the real man is like better than his performances in public. It may be so, but we're beginning to doubt it. For Gilbert Swan, in his New York column, reveals that Capt. George Fried of the liner America has the most prosaic hobby of all—he collects postage stamps. Somehow that doesn’t fit the captain at all. It be- speaks a stay-at-home; a man unfitted for desperate chances and howling gales. It simply isn’t in character. ‘We have a hunch that a better picture of the real cap- tain is the one most of us already ha) the picture of him bringing his ship, with consummate skill and brav- ery, up beside another to save men’s lives in a raging storm. A TEST OF CURIOSITY Curiosity is, and always has béen, one of the strong- est of human traits, Not long ago Harpers published a mystery novel in which the final chapter, containing the solution, was sealed, and offered to refund the purchase price to any buyer who, having read that far, could throttle his curiosity and return the book with the seal unbroken. Since then that book has gone through ten printings —and only three copies have been returned! Acute curiosity, say the psychologists, is a sign of intelligence. By that gauge, we must be remarkably in- telligent people. And Harpers, incidentally, must be fairly shrewd in their reading of the public mind.

Sometimes in the fairy tales which lurk between red and purple and gay orangé covers, the fairy prince mar- ries the kitchen wench because he sees the beauty in all her rags and ashes, ‘needing but the fairy prince's gold for lovely gowns and jewels in order to bring it forth in all its daz- zling splendor. But it sometimes looks—in real life —as if the fairy prince always mar- ries the fairy princess who already has all those things which make a life—money and clothes and jewels and education and good times and friends and love and high station. Let us observe, for instance, some of our nation’s erstwhile most eligible bachelors and their recent capitula- tions to Cupid. John Coolidge the ex-president’s son is betrothed to the daughter of @ governor. Miss Florence Trumbu! evidently doesn’t have to worry about punching a time clock, nor whether she can find another $15-a-week typ- ing job if she loses the one she has. She has probably never needed to de- cide between a spring hat and a new umbrella, nor bought her winter coat because, though not really pretty, she could “make it do” three or four years. * * * TO BE ENVIED In fact, most Helens and Jeans of the ribbon counter or the punch press would decide that Miss Florence Trumbull was quite to, be envied even without “copping” a president’s son. Some of you may remember Gene Tunney, once heavyweight champion of the world, though he is doing his best, what with smashing cameras and what not, to make the world for- get that he’s anybody of importance (except when he gets good pay for a testimonial or radio appearance). Gene married one Miss Polly Lauder, heiress to millions, another girl whom lesser girls would say was supremely blessed even without marrying hand- some, rich snd world-famous Gene. And now—the hero and God divine of them all, Colonel Charles Lind- bergh himself, “Lucky Lindy,” is to be wed to Miss Anne Spencer Morrow, daughter of Dwight Morrow, ambas- sador to Mexico, a man of Wall Efficiency, goal of all up-to-date shops, is at times a two-edged affair. At any rate, workers in a Boston and Maine railroad shop at Concord, N. H., have found it so. During the past couple of years the shop at Concord gained a high record for its efficiency, and a magazine recently called it one of the best freight car repair shops in the country.

So here you are, three of the world’s most eligible young men engaged or married to three of the world’s most matrimonially eligible young ladies! So many observations could be made. No doubt there are many who reading of these romances in the day's news, made comment to the effect that: “Young men are smart these days. They pick for wives the girls that can do them the most Good as wives—girls with money, name, social station, connections that, will advance them to the highest pin- nacle,” There's no use evading the fact, that, beloved as “Lucky Lindy” is, there have been several rather bitter comments made to the effect that he didn't dare choose romance and love in place of “the best marriage.” There are doubtless thousands who reflect that Lindy Probably has or Probably could love some humble little girl as remote from the place in the world of an Anne Morrow as Texas Guinan is from Queen Mary. But it is equally true that love flowers from Propinquity, and that the very stations in life of the John Coolidges and Gene Tunneys and Colonel Lindberghs have naturally thrown them with the Florence Trumbulls and Polly Lauders and Anne Morrows more than with girls of lesser rank.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Peritonitis Question: M.C. L. C. asks: “Will you kindly explain peritonitis? What is the cause, and is there a cure?” Answer: There are many causes of peritonitis. Peritonitis means inflam- mation of the peritoneum which is the smooth covering lining of the abdo- men. Various diseases of the intes- tines or other abdominal organs may induce a spread of inflammation to the peritoneum. The cause is always found in one or more of these in- flamed organs and never starts in the peritoneum itself. Therefore a diag- nosis is Te the cause. Question: J. H. L. writes: “When I was in Scotland I was given a plant called dulse to eat and I rather en- joyed its flavor, but I have not found any in this country. Can you tell me if it is obtainable here?” Answer: Dulse is an edible sea- weed which may be eaten raw, either fresh or dried, or boiled in water and served as a vegetable, or it may be roasted by twisting it around red hot tongs. Seaweed is one of the most abundant of nature’s products and is used in many parts of the world for food. It, however, contains very little in the way of nutritive qualities, although it is rich in mineral ele- ,' ments, especially sodium, iodine, chlorin and potassium. Most of the seaweeds possess gelatinous les and are used for thickeinng soups and making jellies. Dulse is quite abund- ant along the New England coast and Ny probably most seashores. Other sea- weeds sometimes used for food, are: agar-agar, for its laxative properties; carragheen or Irish moss, for making blanc-mange or jelly; and laver, known in Scotland as sloak, which is boiled and spiced and served with cold meats, i glories of nature as to the beauties of the spiritual world. But was there not, also, a striking appropriateness, which the man in his unbelief had possibly hardly sensed, in the absence of both reli- gious service and flowers? His life he had given to the world a death \ dealing instrument of tremendous Power, How different in contrast was Jesus of Nazareth, saying, “I have come that they might have life.” It ‘Was no mere coincidence that with the life-giving religion of Jesus there should have been associated the beauty of the lilies of the field. And it is no mere coincidence that in our Easter celebration we find a fitting and beautiful symbol in the purity of the lily. The life of love, of joy, of blessing, of helpfulness, does not decry either religion or flowers, but rejoices in the beauty of nature and in the beauty of the soul.
