PAGE 6 The Seattle Star Pudlishe@ Datty b 00, year #886 Business or Motherhood CEVERAL big newspapers of the West are most serious- S ly discussing this Are ing the business life? The discussion is premature, by wholly based on speculation ; The strongest instinct which the Creator put into the makeup of the “female of the species” was the mother instinct, Business instinct—make all you can—is self- acquired by men and there's little risk in asserting that it has become the dominant instinct in men. It is observ- able what it does to men, At this writing, woman has made only the mere begin- nings of entry into business life, but what comparatively few demonstrations we have indicate that, once seriously entered in the chase for, the almighty dollar, woman ac- quires the business instinct pretty considerably. Wait, say, a century; wait until generation after gen- eration of business women has developed and passed along this instinct that is now new to women, and there will be some chance of grasping what the business instinct does to the mother instinct. True, it may then be too late to rescue the mother in- stinct and:reincarnate it. But you'll wait, anyway. If woman wants the business instinct, she'll have it. She will, women losing their mother instinct by enter about 100 years, and Saxophone playing is now being taught by mail—a very wise precau tion. Pensions for World War Vets ITH the soldier bonus a certainty, talk is developing about pensions to world War veterans later. Here is the precedent: It was not until 25 years after the end of the Civil war that pensions were paid to all disabled vets, And it was 17 more years before pensions were offered to all honorably discharged vets 62 years or older, Pensions for world war veterans may come later on, despite cash bonus or insurance. Few will have their bonus five years from now. Mr. Georges Carpentier’s announcement that he has retired from the ring seems to have a real punch in it this time. Our Taste for Flesh | eat year the American people ate more meat than ever before. The average during 1923 was nearly 170 pounds for every man, woman and child, or almost half a pound a day. A European, accustomed to being able to afford meat only once or twice a week, will consider this proof-positive of great national prosperity. As far as the health is concerned, meat should be eaten sparingly in hot weather. That’ War Wounds Healing HE English during the war had to sell a lot of their investments. They owned $20,600,000,000 of such investments. Had to sell a fourth. In a year they have recovered $2,000,000,000 worth. Another year and a half, at this rate, and the English will have as strong a grip as ever on property in other lands. The world’s war wounds are healing fast. Slaughtered by Autos UTOS in New York city in a year kill 413 children under 16 years of age and injure 11,25 The vic- tims over 16 include 464 killed and 21,915 injured. With very few exceptions, these accidents could have been avoided by proper caution on the part of both motor- ists and pedestrians. With car registrations increasing swiftly, compulsory caution in inevitable—probably by gearing machines down at the factory so they can’t ex- ceed a speed of 15 miles an hour. Growth of Chautauqua GMFTY years ago John Hey! Vincent, a Methodist bishop, started the first chautauqua—at Chautau- qua, N. Y. Now it’s a national system, with orators and musicians and educators by the thousands. The chautauqua is one of the most remarkable move- ments of our civilization. It's a summer afafir. And to get people to use their brains and exercise their intellec- tual idealism in sweltering weather is not far from being the eighth wonder of the world. This summer 22 differ- ent chautauqua circuits are in operation. _Crime DETECTING Pays 'RIME doesn’t pay, but crime detection does. Court ac- tion discloses that the late William A. Pinkerton, de- tective, left an estate of $2,000,000. A super-crook might steal two millions, but he wouldn't have it long. Blackmail by other crooks is the chief thing that dissipates their plunder. Word of a big haul goes thru the underworld and brings the buzzards. Surface Thinking M*A* of our young people have acquired the “moving picture mind.” All life to them is a-series of snap- shots, with no chance for a time exposure. Hence they cannot think straight on any subject. They are a bundle of transient impressions and confused ideas. President Faunce of Brown university says this, a new idea, vivid and correct. Modern life is a kaleido- scope of fleeting impressions. The old-timers had fewer things of interest and got closer to things basic. Ours is a generation of surface thinkers. LETTER FROM VRIDGE MANN July 14, 1924, It is Dear Folks: The snowy heights of Mount Rainier, the quiet peace of shaded hills—a thousand places scattered here are full of recreative thrills, And yet, with all the distant things, with sights to see and fields to roam, it's nice when Tempus Fugit brings, at last, the Journey's end—and home! For here, within its quiet halls, a lot of cares and troubles cease; within our own dominion's walls, the wife and I can fight in peace, And here, secure from # * & man can boldly be a goop home, where a guy can break hig crackers in his soup! What tho a thousand places call? They fail to stand the lasting test! Jor when you've gone and seen them all, you tell the world that home {ts best.

THE Will French Doctor's Vaccine Prevent Tuberculosis? pe 2d “ ALBEKT CALMETTE BY MILTON BRONNER ARIS, July 14.—French. medical men are hoping name of Dr, Albert Calmette will be added to the galaxy | of immortal scientists, by reason of a vaccine for tubercu- losis with which he and his collaborators have been experi-} menting for some years. Following the moc doctor's own injunctions, and not desiring to raise any false hopes among the world’s suffer- ing masses, they ar about the Calmette vaccine with a very big “if.” Calmette, vice director of the Pasteur Institute here. communicated the results of his ative Academy of Medicine, where his modest remark been received with unusual applause. Briefly, Calmette has worked out a living culture of tuber- cular bacilli, so attenuated by laboratory processes that it will not give any animal tuberculosis, his experiments lead him to believe that if it is administered to a young animal, up to now immune from tubérculosis, the vaccine will confer upon it complete immunity. This wonder worker has briefly been named “B. C Calmette began his experiments with animals subject to tuberculosis. He inoculated young calves born of tubercular | cattle. They were unharmed by the vatcine and were thereafter revaccinated once a year. One hundred and twenty-seven underwent the treatment, thanks to,the intelligent cooper- ation of French farmers. All these animals have remained in good health. The tests seemed to establish the vaccine was inoffensive | and efficacious. | Calmette then experimented with anthropoid apes whose reactions to microbes and toxins resemble those of man.
