It is a Bolshevik reac- tion against refinement, and a “decadent form of syncopated noise.” Progress iW LIVE in an age where one miracle t follows another so fast on the heels of another that we have grown actually Dlase about it. You read about the attempt to transmit an X-ray picture of a human hand by tele phone wire from Chicago to New York, and think little of it, so remarkable have been the results of other “telephoned” pic- tures, But to science the success of the test 4s of utmost importance. For one thing, jt may mean X-ray diagnosis at great dis- tance within a short time. Charles’ Vision NLESS,” said Dawes at Boston, “I can be the conduit thru which the sentiment of the country flows into Wash- ington, I can be of little use.” Conduit? HellanMaria, Charles! — It reminds of sewers and such. Verily, eas- ‘ ing American sentiment into Washington would be some job, with no chance to go to sleep on it, Charles.

Unusual, but not at all remarkable. me cannot help but wonder that the American government, among all the great ones, hesitates longest and hardest in dealing with the possibilities of air traffic. Ts it due to adverse pressure by Big Business that is interested in the es lished and competing methods of tr portation?

Algebra ROF, L. G. SIMONS, of Hunter Col- lege, New York, in a bulletin issued u of education, questions the necessity and practical value of algebra as a study. Arithmetic, he says, is “an important subject for practical reasons,” but “we must seek some other reason” for the in troduction of algebra into American edu cation, Algebra, however, 1s not the study whose practicability is being questioned and whose inclusion in school curricula is only largely a matter of tradition. Ther re, for example, the so-called “dead lan- guages.” “Mind training” and a certain cultural value are their chief merit. But there no reason why culture and sufficient brain exercise cannot be tied up with sub- jects of more practical worth. The day not far distant when “prerequisites,” such as Latin and tain forms of mathematics, will be elec- tive rather than compulsory in even our most hidebound institutions of learning. is the 1s Dog Instinct JONDER what wonderful things we W could do if, in addition to our five normal senses, we possessed another. instinct. Newspapers tell you about Scottie, a collie dog, who walked all the way from Los Angeles to North Dakota. His mas- ter last spring had motored out to Los Angeles and decided to stay. But Scottie didn’t know it, and one day, when the family was out for a ride, he concluded they had gone back home So Scottie pointed his nose eastward Eight months later, his master received word from his former ranch home that Scottie had come back. A human being could walk that far, course, but he would have to have roads and maps to guide him. Instinct is given only to dumb brutes, to compensate for inability to ask questions. of Looking | Back ward UST about the time that one set of evo- lutionists get the age of man’s simian progenitor fixed within a million years or U.S. Pays More for Lipsticks Than for Its Defense! \Figures We Spend Are Q.
