It was well that that truth and that warning should have there been affirm- ed and pronounced. For the psychol- ogy of national ideals in strangely complex. And. though &ep in the heart of every Americar worthy of the name there lies that devotion to humanity to which the President re- ferred, there has developed—in the re- action which followed the war—a sur- face tendency toward selfish irresponsi- bility which might well mislead. The period when that attitude ecan safely be endured as a mera temporary phenomenon has passed President Harding. conscious of his ®esponsibil- ity as the leader of the nafonal ideals of America, aware that the true mo- tives of the nation are being danger- misinterpreted, has dene his part in crying aloud, for the peoples of America and the world to hear, the splendid truth as to our basic aspira- tions. The ideals which were Armerica's in ‘war are hers in peace. Her apprecia- tion of her humanity has not diminishef. Rejoic- ing in the vivid expressith of the truth by the leader to whom they are proud to intrust their national honor, the people now look for thuse prac- tical acts which alone can demonstrate the existence of that spirit which he v claims for the nation.

The National Parks. When the United States government undertook the preservation of the great areas of the west which sur- round the natural wonders, the Yellow- stone, the Yosemite, the Rocky moun- nd other scenic marvels, many felt that the expenditure was unwar- ranted since few people, they believed, would visit these spaces and profit by the opportunity afforded. Year by vear. however, the parks have popularity and have attracted more | and more people. During the w when foreign travel was .preventes tens of thousands of Amer] had never thought of first” turned their vacation journeys parkward. The result was that thel fame of the parks spread as those who ! | visited them dwelt on their return| upon their wonders and glories of | scenery. Last year was the greatest| tourist season on record in the park This year, however, it I8 expected that the park-tourist travel will be even greater. Preparations have been made for the accommodation of an immense | grown in'! ans who eing America st | number of travelers reaching the parks | by train and by automobile. Thus the government's investment in park preservation has been rr'n:nd} at a high rate of interest. Not only has great pleasure been given to im- mense numbers of people, but they | have gained an inspiration whu-h] works into terms of good citizenship. | Thase who see these marvels of geyser | and cataract and canyon and forest and mountain and glacier cannot fail to appreciate what a wonderful coun | try this is, how varled its conditions. | how rich it is in beauty. There is| nothing to compare with this combina- | tion of scenic wonders in the world. Other lands have higher mountain: and some have greater waterfalls than those of the western park region, but | none has the extraordinary variety. | There is no other grand canyon equal| to that of the Colorado. There is no! other assemblage of geysers like those jof the Yellowstone. There is no other forest of giant trees like those of the | | Sequoia park. ! The custom of touring by motor car | has increased remarkably of late years, | {and the accommodations have been | { provided in the parks for those who ! enter them on their own power. The! { government has adopted a wisely lib- | eral policy in this respect, and it is I now possible for an American family {to tour through the entire range of! great scenic wonders at w compara- | tively small expense in the course of | a single summer. The gratifying fact is that advantage is being taken of | this epportunity, as the record of last ! year shows, and as the preparations | for the coming season indicate. ——— His selection of a vehicle for per- jsonal use shows that Ambassador { Harvey intends to have his way ahou” | dropping the complimentary milita [ title popularly awarded him.

Prof. Albert Einstein, discoverer of relativity, has sailed for home after a visit of several weeks in this coun- try. Before he left be said of the American people: “I have observed a sympathetic feeling with the theory of relativity and a truly detached scien- tific interest in it.” The people of this country were undeniably interested in relativity and they were sympathetic to the point of eagerness to know wi it was all about. They discussed it with as much seriousness as its pro- fundity permitted. They plaintively begged for a lucid explanation and from time o time they gleaned a little knowledge. They gained glimpses of the great mystery and were grateful. But truly, Prof. Einstein leaves Amer- ica almost as much in the dark on the score of his remarkable discovery as he found it. This is probably no fault of his. He was handicapped by lack of language. He was also hampered by his own habit of thought in terms of relativity. He somehow could not translate himself into the “words of one syllable™ that the average unscien- | buy some magazines to enjoy the best tific person requires in achieving a |they've got to offer; which is the pic- definition of a technical topic.
