CHICAGO BOSTON (Official City, State and County Newspaper) SCIENCE AND WAR Churchmen and others frantically ‘means to abolish war have hit upon the idea that if p; is to be made permanent science and invention must acken their pace until moral prog learns to keep ce with intelicctual advance. An embargo on science until the mor can catch up with invention is not the p swer. Let the ethical man draw up to a level with tellectual man, let him foreswear the use of his machines for the purpose of war, let him concentrate on the arts of peace, and what happens? The arts of p cisely experimentation, disc: invention. devise newer and more ingenious machines fe vancement of life, and in a moment of moral will turn them to the purposes cf a more ingenious and elaborate war. | The real moral problem consists in man’s striving to | keep ethically abreast of his own restless inventions | without quite succeeding. Moralists agree that where there is no temptation there is no high virtue. With no instruments of misciicf lying about, the merit of keep- ing out of war is not striking. Char nd morals as the western world has learned to understand them are not the product of an dian environment, but demand | for their exercise an unstable equilibrium. The Orient has | closed the gap between cthics and progress by czasing to invent. But for the Occident the problem must be how to forge steel without turning it into guns and invent chlorine without employing it in t hes. As the savage, who has no modern i: uments of war, | is never at peace with his neighbo! rent that such instruments ie do not prov And it | is doubtful if civilized nations over | a given period in proportion to number of | combatants th casualties in the sam: ‘The only difference is that civilized man kills but more in a shor: time, while the savage is doing a little | killing all the tim for a consciousness, ymanent SPEECH AS AFETY VALVE Although bristling with practical diific , the ques- tion of free speech is one concerning which the citizen must heve well-defined cpinions. Books by the hundred and platicrm utterances by the thousand cover the sub- ject theorcticaily. The rub comes in its everyday ap- Plicaticn. History as well as common sense teaches the simple | Iesson that severe repression often proves its own un- the adventurous spirits responsible for the French and Russian revolutions, yct there is more than a suspicion | that their blocdy and tyrannous strangle holds came about partly because of preceding regimes of suppression as well as corruption. One extreme leads to another; if the pendulum swings too far cne way, it does not come | to rest until it has gone to the opposite extreme. People who favor unbounded freedom of speech and those who are thinking chiefly of the danger of destruc- | tive propaganda, both overlook the fact that these mat- ters are pretty well governed by definite law. Usually it ds better to let the pink say his speech without protcst, | and then hold him responsible for what he says under ‘the law as it exists. After all, a sound citizenship must be exposed now and then to more or less silly extravagances of ideas. For the most part people recognize buncomb when they hear or Tead it. It evaporates when it strikes the air, and the citizen, half amused and half indifferent, pauses for only @ fraction of a minute, and goes about his own effairs. TEMPTATION TO QUIT SCHOOL “Should I continue my education or should I quit ‘School and go to work?” That is the question which thousands of young people @re asking themselves. And without the slightest in- clination toward indulging in scholastic sentiment or Pedagogical poppycock, we make bold to provide the an- swer: “Keep on going to school so long as you show signs of making intellectual progress.” It is true that many~a successful man has made good without prolonged schooling. It is truc that many a pu- ‘Pil gets little or nothing out of school work and might Wetter seek a job. But it is also true that many an- other student is lured away from his books by economic temptations when he would gain more in the end by ac- quiring further education. ; This is a day of specialization. The man or woman ‘whose technical equipment and mental training are of the best is the man or woman wio forges ahead. Our schools and colleges are prepared to supply that equip- Ment and training to serious-minded youths. No young Petson who is capable of benefiting by their intellectual @fferings should choote the alluring road to immediate ‘Moancial gain. _ THE GOLDEN DELUGE e-have never mace a study of the matter are 9 opinion that marketing America’s wheat crop nthe real facts are a source of con- an- | | commercial aviation dealt exclusively with dirigibles. “| so rs } great burden on the nation’s marketing re-| as THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. work with precision comparable to that of a vast army if | there is to be no financial loss for any of that great num | ber directly concerned. PENSIONS to social welfare that the United States has not inaug- urated the trifling subsidies to the indigent aged afforded in most European countries, Conditions are very different. The wages standards {in Europe are so much lower than those ruling here that jeven the thrifty workers are generally unable to pro- vide for their closing years. Also it has been argued, ; not without some force, that state pensions for those | over 70 have a certain tendency to keep the pay of the | workers lower while he is in full vigor. Public opinion in the United States is not strongly ‘favorable to old age pensions, Where the courts have been no great resentment shown, \states where the necessary legislation hus been passed, | | the machinery has not been provided for building up a| sion fund and for paying the pensions, | | ‘The issue is one of very real social importanc [knowledge of the applicability of the general idea t | United States is fragmentary as yet. ‘The experier jother nations will help us to form an opinion, but it is jot little a sions will mance in establishing whether old age pen- | solve the problem of the indigent aged. PERJURY ‘sof the American bench and bar are agreed been a decided increase in perjury in re-| They acknowledge that little progress has | le toward rectifying the existing situation. das a felony, perjury is, nevertheless, one of the | , hardest of all offenses to detect to the point of obtaining | onvictions. Judges and prosecuting officials may feel | ; convinced that false testimony is being given, but proving | | such a thing to be the case is never easy. The difficulty of inflicting punishment for perjury has, | ho doubt, had much to do with its spread. Criminal | agencies have made increasing use of false testimony both for profit and protection. It has been established | that in certain types of damage suits perjured testimony may be hired with comparative case and little expense. The hope of some of those who are alarmed over the | pread of perjury is that aroused public consciousness | will help put an end to the practice. It is a job of housecleaning in which the public can be of but slight assistance. The burden of reformation must be shouldered by the bench and bar. But juries can help by scrutinizing testimony more carefully and returning verdicts accord- | ingly. . THE PLACE OF THE DIRIGIBLE The globe-circling flight of the Graf Zeppelin is a spec- tacular and interesting affair—the sort of thing that may well take hold of the public imagination and restore the dirigible to the place it formerly held in the minds of men. A dozen years ago all speculations about long-distance It was not imagined that the airplane could ever be de- veloped to the point where it could carry enough passen- gers and cargo to pay its way as a means of transporta- | tion. The development of the airplane, however, has been id that the dirigible has been side-tracked—in the popular mind, at any rate. The great achievements of the lane have made the dirigible look slow, cumber- some and expensive. ‘There is still a wide field of usefulness for the dirigible, however. The round-the-world flight of the Graf Zep- pelin may focus public attention anew on this fact. If so, it will have been a useful trip. Getting the battery charged is not nearly so much of a problem to the average motorist as finding a place to get the gasoline charged. | Editorial Comment | MR. FORD'S IMAGINATION (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) Whether it is called vision or imagination, Henry Ford again demonstrates that he has it. While some are coming to the conclusion that the machine age has reached its peak in the United States, Mr. Ford, in an article in the August number of the American magazine, says that the truc industrial period has not yet arrived. Not until the appearance of the auto- matic machine will the burden be lifted from the shoulders of mankind. But will that mcan mere idleness for humanity? Not at all; it will simply mean time for higher development. “The rcal industrial age which we are yet to enter will be less noisy, more beautiful, more just, more conducive to higher levels of living for all, than is the present age.” The opportunities for young men starting today are endless, For instance, let one of them invent a kind of kitchen that will feed 100 persons. “Think of the waste of time, money and effort involved in cooking in thou- sands of different homes in a single community!” Of course, there is something to be said on the other side of that—the value of privacy, the home atmosphere and the variation of fare to suit individual tastes. But whatever ol es the drudgery of the home also must be consid- ered. There will be general enthusiasm for the prophecy that. | must beat the Argentine crop.

The discovery by Mr. Edison of an herb that pro- duces rubber makes the question worthy of thought. Within ten years our cities may be heated by electricity. Streets also will have to be adapted to modern traffic instead of to horsedrawn vehicles. It is good medicine for those who pose as blase, re- minding them that whereas they may purport to have seen everything they really have not yet entered into the modern spirit. HONOR ALCOCK AND BROWN «Brandon, Man., Sun) A civic controler in Toronto wants the story of the first flight across the Atlantic included. in Ontario's school books and that is an excellent idea. There are teachers today, Canadians, who tell their pupils Lindbergh was the first to fly the Atlantic. The influence of U. 5S. maga- zines and newspapers is as with public school in- structors as with the t! thtless public. Apart from controversy the tale of Al and Brown is still an epic in air pionecring. Lindbergh was a boy of 16 when the pair in questien first flew the Atlantic, and over fifty crossed by air prior to the young U. 8. aviator. Alcock and Brown flew from St. Johns, Newfoundland, to Clif- den, Ireland, on June 14, 1919, in 15°hours and 57 minutes from shoreline to shoreline. ‘That time record has never been beaten and they flew in what is now a primitive model craft, a Vickers Vimy bombitg plane with twin motors. ‘The first trip by air acrogs the Atlantic was probably @s any achievement in the history of avia- ‘Their wireless-outfit Just STARTED! FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1929 SO And now comes the startling in- fermation that it is grandmother and not the flapper who has made the beauty business the sixth industry in these United States. The flappers, it seems, go in for suntan powders and the fads of the moment, but it is the older women who have regular appointments and who take everything on the beauty bill of fare from facials to pedicures. All of which is quite as it should be, and shows that women are using the inside of their heads as well as doing right by the outsides. It is after 30 that a woman can no longer get by on sheer youth, as she can in her teens, when her figure’ is traight, and she can put on any lit- “ ready-made dress and look ador- able, eee FOR “AFTER 30” After 30, the question of upkeep is not merely a matter of vanity for a woman, but a matter of holding on— maybe holding her job—and keeping up ‘an appearance of being well groomed and smart when she is no longer pretty and youthful. Hair, complexions, figures, and faces respond to intelligent regular care, and the modern woman knows And most of them, who are wage- earners themselves and have their own moncy, would father have this upkeep attended to by a specialist, at @ regular time, than depend on them. selves. There is something very restful about a good facial massage, and a smart hair cut and a becoming finger wave give any middle-aged woman a better outlook on life. The psychol- ogy of always being well groomed and carefully dressed is invaluable.

TWO WAYS (By Alice Judson Peale) There are two ways in which chil- dren can be brought up to do things which are uncongenial to them. One is through the agency of love, ie other through the use of author- There are people who feel that chil- dren will never do an irksome duty unless they are motivated by the love Of someone whose approval they hope to keep by doing as they should. Oth- ers feel that duties should be un- sweetened and swallowed whole as a suitable preparation for the stern de- mands of life. Both attitudes seem to me unreal- istic and extreme. No matter how fondly a child may love his mother, he will not for her sake go promptly to bed. Yet regular bedtime is an un- debatable necessity for every child. ee raisins, : Baked sti bea head lettuce. rene oe Dinner: Broiled chicken or rabbit, baked egg plant, cooked cucumbers, salad of grated cartots on lettuce, ice Breakfast Goadies cees, Melba Bi » Mel toast, , stewed prunes, Lunch: 8-ounce glass of grapejuice. 8 Grape) tered vegetables consisting of carrots, turnips and beets cooked separately and diced together just before serv- ing.
