THE SEATTLE STAR [2 Mintored at Beattian Wash. office as second-class matter By mall, out of etty, one year, 98. m onthe, $1.98; Bho per month up tet mos My carrier, elty, tow menth L ciesemsemeesnttiopae : HE man who wears a wrist watch is coming in for a big share of popular satire. most of us object to a new idea, We don’t like the wrist watch simply because we don’t understand it. It is, however, of military and therefore of honorable origin. It was worn by men before it was worn by women, It was in- vented in foreign barracks long before the war broke out. The watch is the only superfluous piece of property which the soldiers in the foreign army schools are permitted to own. And in order to maintain. the ownership of this much-coveted article, the soldiers strap them to their wrists when they sleep. And, of course, their sweethearts borrow them, just as girls over here borrow seal rings and sweaters. f The man who wears a wrist watch is following a purely masculine fashion, and one which fulfills a real need. It’s the newness of the notion which makes Americans laugh. Novelty, things or ideas which are “queer,” are sure to arouse ridicule in some quarters. “Preparedness” is a new idea to a great many people. Some laugh at it as carelessly as they laugh at a man wearing a wrist watch—just because they do not understand. And the worst of it is that they never take any pains to understand. But ridicule is often the most dangerous weapon which can be used against a reform. That is why the serious minded and the well informed must keep hammering away with their pre- paredness preachments until the notion ceases to be a novelty. Short Science Lesson 3 N UNUSUAL scientist is C. William Beebe, “bird man” in the sense of bird student, who has just : left New York to study wild life in British Guiana. Beebe says that he does not believe any scientific work is finished which cannot be translated into Aanguage which ordinary unscientific people can understand. ' : One of Beebe’s interesting investigations was made by comparing one square yard of dirt from the > tropics with one from New York and one from Labrador. The results showed as plainly as the most "expensive tour could have done the relative difference in the fertility of the Northern, the Temperate » and the Tropic regions. 3 The mold scraped from the jungle contained 1,000 organisms, the New York soil sheltered 300 Specimens, and the Labrador about 25. “When the amount of life is tremendous, as in the Tropics, living creatures are at each other all _ the time,” Beebe says. And this, in ordinary, unscientific language, is the fundamental reason why the peoples of Europe are “at each other’ so violently just now. The Personal Triumph a) GA can | will come back some one to be proud of,” wrote Private Harry Dale to his mother just before he left the English trenches to go forward on the dangerous mission of bomb-throwing. Dale never came back. He had, however, made himself “some one to be proud of" long before he left London to fight for his country. He had been a cripple, had spent nine months on his back, a vittim of hip disease. He had con- tracted tuberculosis and had lived six months in a sanitarium. He had broken down under asthma, but he did not give up the good fight for health and independence. Dale succeeded in enlisting only after seven attempts. Then he was killed after 11 weeks of ser- ' vice, at the age of 22 years. a He was brought up under the most wretched conditions. Charity—the Ragged School Union— = helped him out of his crippled state. He had almost no education. He belonged to the class in whith | failure is explained by wretched environment and lack of opportunity. ? According to all theories, he should have become a pauper, an inmate of some public institution, anda 8 upon taxpayers and philanthropists. ' BUT DALE REFUSED TO ACCEPT ANY EXCUSE FOR HIS OWN FAILURE. From one of the unfit, he became by his own persistent effort, ‘some one to be proud of.” He was only “baffled to fight better.” Honor is due him for his heroic death but more honor for his heroic battle and his personal 4 am a young woman 28 rs{you, instead of one of the “bril-;pute about my bringing in my com-| think best?
