MICE STAY AT HOME Prof. John T. Emien, Jr., Howard Young, and Rob- , ert L. Strecker of the University of Wisconsin's zoological og department, conducted experiments to determine just » n how far mice wander. The investigation was begun when these zoologists were advised that an effective rat poison was not getting the desired results in a mice-infested building. With traps baited with peanut butter (more tempt- ing than cheese) in two buildings, the experimenters caught a large number of mice which were marked and re'eased exactly where they were captured. Some of the rfee were recaptured more than five times. The tests revealed that most mice keep within a ra- s of 12 feet. Approximately 10 per cent adventure as as 80-feet away from the original point of capture. ihe females wander even less than the males, and when the shelter is good, there is much less wandering. \ Exterminators are advised as a’ result of these tests to distribute a large number of baits throughout a build. | ing, so that the poison will not be out of wandering dis- tance for the mice. The fact that these experiments mouse is a home-lover and not prone to wander, give some concern.

Please Mr. Gibb, never ever go into that never-never land in! The world of abstractions simply not for you. Great men, ants of intellect, have become y. pewling idiots by trying to nake concrete realities out of mon- strous abstractions—a phosis that can never take place because of the very inadequacy of language technicque. We may have ideals, lofty thoughts that we think may lift man from the morass he in—but try to codify these ideals into conduct patterns that palliate distress of man and you knock your head against the wall of brute reality. You just can not deal with abstractions when , you deal with men.

Each of these men might have thought that he had a more | direct route to God but I doubt seriously if they imagined there were three gods up there in Heay- en, one for each religion. Cannibals are just as ethical as Christians. And are often just as unethical, too. There are ethical executioners who take people's i lives in various legal death cham ‘bers. There are unethical savages |who have allowed prisoners to live when the code of the tribe pro- | claimed that all such prisoners should be thrown in a pot and boil- ed. | There can be no abstraction { about a subject that touches every | action of lives. That shows in our conduct every minute of the day! However, let me be fair and give Mendoza his say “Your column on ethics left me relation whatsoever. For example, ; just what do we mean by ethics? This is a superb abstraction, Just what is ethics? Roget's Thesa- urus Says: science of morals, mor- al philosophy, moral principles, rules of conduct. Abstractions heaped on abstractions. What do we mean by science, morals, phi- losophy, principles, rules, conduct? Is it the conduct of Americans, in- fidels, Hottentots, Australian Bush- | men, Russians, Germans, Demo- erats, Republicans, Catholics; Pro- testants, headhunters, cannibals, necrophiliacs, Salem witches, fem- mics? Whose conduct are we going| to make rules for and under what} authority? In the name of Christi- anity? What will all the other great religions say to this? Philosophy? Whose Philosophy? Science? The Social Sciences are only pseudo- sciences. Psychology? t Wha school? Behaviorist, Gestalt, etc? Now, do you get a slight inkling to what I mean when I say lay off those abstractions.” It was necessary to delete a por- tion of Mendoza’s letter concerning Lord Bryon due to lack of space. HAL BOYLE SAYS By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK W—A bleak vista of terror is opened as warfare slowly turns from the guided muscle to the guided missle.
