An “electrical transcription” is only a phonogvaph record with a college educa- tion. * A’Writer says marriage depends on ihe fusion of two lives. But it often ends in confusion. The alcoholic breath from an auto- mobile radiator must be disgusting to a law- abiding horse. “Chinese Cut Off Pigtails’—Headline. And in-mang cases the pigtails are cut off at the wearer’s neck. A deadly snake bit a St. Louis man. Which is news only because the snake died, while the man is recovering. oe Another paradox is that while a wo- man ctf hot run as fast as"a°"fhall, she usually catches him somehow. Socialists are too impatient. Why can't they wait until we get to heaven, where all will be equal, if any? If one would believe the economic pessimists. The only business in this coun- try which is picking up is the street cleaners. “I feel” is a far commoner expression than “I think,” whereas it should be the other way around. [It is much less difficult { to feel_than to think. T'S a little late but we can't help tell- ing of a Scotchman who heard that fur coats were the proper things to give wives and presented his better half with a Christ. mas Seal. According to telegraphic information | by the Associated Press published in The Citizen, the War Department has approved the application of the Overseas Bridge | Corporation for the construction of bridges | and causeways across the water gaps, com- pleting’ the road to mainland. This is one more step toward the goal. Now for the money, _ } NOT YET CIVILIZED When one contemplates the great ad- vances in science and mechanics which! have been made in the last half century or so, it appears that man’s achievements have been something little short of marvel- ous. But if we could but look into the future, it is probable that we should realize that our present knowledge and utilization of the forces of nature are only crude be- ginnings. This thought is forcefully expressed by Dr. R. A. Millikan, one of the world’s greatest physicists, “Mankind is now just an infant a few months old at most, who up until but a minute ago has been lying in his crib shak- ing his rattle.” Even conceding that great advance- ment has been made ina material way, whereby the more enlightened peoples have facilities and comforts not dreamed of by our ancestors, we are still ' sadly deficient in the moral qualities which must be developed if this old world is to become a satisfactory place of abode. Although there is more of charity and altruism displayed than ever before, human nature has not changed greatly throughout all the centuries. Crime, greed, intol- erance, hate, and cruelty are in evidence on every hand, even among the most civilized of peoples. A million laws and an army of peace officers fail to make either life or property safe. Unless a man’s opinions and_ beliefs conform to those of the majority he must suppress their utterance or be proscribed. Freedom of conscience, even in this land of supposed freedom, is only a_ pretense. Only those who are financially independent can afford to be entirely frank in ex- pression. People are no longer burnt at the stake for their opinions, but they are persecuted in other ways. We have gone a little way toward civilization, but we are not yet civilized. SLAVERY STILL EXISTS It is almost incredible that in this year of 1933 there should still be 5,000,- 000 or more human beings existing in abject slavery in various parts of the world. Yet such is the case, according to a report of a slavery commission organized under the auspices of the League of Nations. Slavery is found, it is said, in nearly a score of countries, and is_ especially prevalent in Abyssinia, China, Hedjaz, Liberia and other states. A traveler in Abyssinia has described “slavery, open, cruel and fiendish; gangs of slaves march- ing in misery, the men chained together in rows, and the women and children drag- ging themselves along beside the main body.” There is no doubt that similar con- ditions exist in many other countries, al- though in most of them slavery is officially forbidden. In some areas the condition of actual slavery is disguised under the form of contract labor and peonage or debt slavery, the latter also prevailing in some South American countries. Some encouragement is seen, how- ever, in the steps being taken by the league toward the abolishment of slavery, particularly by the British government, through whose efforts about 700,000 slaves | have been liberated since the close of the war. Now, as always, the suppression . of “man’s inhumanity to man” is one of civilization’s major tasks. CLOTHING AND SEX A clergyman of Weymouth, England, was recently asked if it is proper for wo- men to wear pajamas. He quoted Deu- teronomy 22, 5, which reads: ‘The wo- man shall not wear that which pertaineth to the man.” Perhaps when the women took up the pajama fad, they carelessly neglected to look up that scriptural utter- ance. The women have not merely appro- priated the men’s pajamas, bathing suits, and riding breeches, but no article of mas- culine apparel seems safe from their in- roads. But considering the untold bless- ings conferred on the masculine tribe by the women folks, they should be free to wear whatever clothes they desire. The women have apparently para- phrased the remark once made in regard to use of operatic music in churches, to the effect that “it is too bad to let the devil have all the good tunes.” feel that the devil should not be allowed to have all the good clothes, who recently . said: | Evidently they | ACROSS |.
