t .-- 5 r t " January 16, 1925 THE FIERY CROSS -JL P A ft stone or America: iramousm in "And Thou Shalt Teach Diligently Unto Thy Children" Accepting Truth. IN an acfdress to the members of the American Association ' for the Advancement of Science and Allied Societies, President Coolidge declared that it has taken endless ages to create in men the courage to accept truth simply because it is the truth. "It is this state of thought," says the Christian Science Monitor, "which must furnish the motive force for all true advancement along any line of endeavor. So long as the investigator is prompted by selfish motives of any kind, he material endeavor. He might have been speaking to an audience of philosophers, or rather his sentiments would have applied with an equal force if he had been so employed. This recognition of the immense importance of the search for truth for the sake of truth alone has, indeed, impelled all the reformers and real benefactors of the human race. It is true, as President Coolidge indicated, that only of late years has this sentiment received anything like general acceptance, but it must not be thought that it has not enjoyed a certain vogue almost ever since the beginning of history, for every real step forward hi will be to that extent handicapped in his efforts. This does not mean that striving for progress and -discovery in the hope of benefiting the race in some way or another is an unworthy motive, but rather that, for the highest attainments, back of any such consideration should be the recognition that the truth for the truth's sake must constitute the primary impulse for action. "Of course, President Coolidge was addressing men whose lives are devoted to research along many lines of ueeii uasea upon it. "The mere fact that today countless wonderful are b finer nnt fnrwvr-A -f v, J f " " "-i --i i"i lac MllBiatUOU JL simply points to the fact that this motivating fc ing an outlet in the line of material advancemen m itself is the smallest feature of the world's activities. There is today in human conscioui. certainly than ever before' that desire which cori pasic spring ot action for every great reform."

"That bone-head Congress was partly responsible for it," explained Mr. Jolly (with no help from the book.) "They appointed five juniors over him. It was a bitter pill and totally undeserved. George Washington did his best to correct the error, and udvunced him in every possible way. After being embittered, he

seems to have become quarrelsome. 1 remember that General Washington was forced" to reprimand him once, which he did as lightly as possible, and assured him how highly he esteemed his services."

HOME-COMING JS THE word "home-coming," with all that it implies of the sacred ties of love, to be eliminated from the English language because there will come a time when there Is no longer any need for it? Is the home that anchor of adventuring youth, and refuge of dependent old age to be forced out of existence by the pressure of preventable economic conditions? In all the wide reaches of America is there not room enough for every one to own a little plot of earth for the sake of his own independence and self-respect? And cannot one have his own roof for the same good

reasons : It is as foolish, as it is palpably unjust, to lay the blame for conditions at the door of feminine unrest it is the conditions that have created the unrest. There is an old adage to the effect that when a hen leaves her nest there is something wrong with the nest, and the same rule is applicable to the average woman. For one thing, the price of an ordinary nest" in this day and time is prohibitive for the average wage-earner u ,?USt suPPrt a growing family. And the maintenance of the nest, should one be painfully achieved, becomes such a burden on account of taxes, insurance, street improvements, and so forth, that the wife frequently feels that she must put her shoulder to the wheel to relieve her husband. Then goodbye home-life and children! We cannot serve two masters well. Another cause of disintegrating home-life is the exorbitant rents. The time was when one could finance a home of his own, could rent a modest house at a reasonable figure with a plot of garden, and a place for flowers, and stay in it indefinitely. One could have a cow, and hand buttermilk and turnip greens over the fence to a friendly neighbor. Now one must live in an expensive apartment, and may sit next to his neighbor at a mediocre movie show and never know him. In the centuries to be. some archaeologist may dig up some of our choicest apartment houses and class us as a new variety of cliff-dwellers. We repeat that women are not to blame for such conditions. Tne average woman is more apt to be a drudge than a parasite, "she is a natural home-maker, and conserver, and she loves the things of home and ?, Ken- i b,ieve ,t,,at this is particularly true of our Klanswomen; lor the organization exists m order to perpetuate American ideals. Women Know that patriotism must be instilled into a child until it becomes a part of his very being if it is to be a vital force in his life. They realize that the foundation stones of the future America must be the hearthstones or her homes. There is something wrong with the administration of affairs when a nation as rich as America forces her women out of their natural orbit, and the women of this country are going out to find out what is the matter, and then to do something about righting it. This is the real motive power of the tidal wave of feminism that is sweeping he country today, whether women realize it or not. It is a sort of national housecleaning preliminary to going back to their old jobs under better conditions and more efficiently administered.- This much-deplored movement of unrest is really a home-coming movement the march of women to fend awav the enemies of the home, political or otherwise. Home-coming! The very word suggests understanding, and rest, and peace a haven after the struggle of the day! It is as much a stat of mind, after all. as it is a place. The present confusion of ideas and ideals is the flurry of preparation; of packing up the things of worth aid tnrowlng away the out-worn, the tawdry, and the spurious With no fear of being classed with the prophets who have not been anointed, we venture the prediction that women will win the things of home again. Burdened only with their goods and chattels -of proven worth' and bearing the golden gifts of friendly experience, they wilL come back to make of the home a place of sweetness and light that shall bless a'l the world of men. ..

Rainy Days and Diamonds. "What are rainy davs good for anvway?" fretted the Little Boy-who-was-getting-well, as he leaned disconsolately against the window sill watchins tne uai nric v-ivae n. . ,ho dreary winter's day.

"Why, to make the fire feel better for one thing," said his mother cheerily, drawing up an armchair invitingly, and giving the fire a vigorous stirring which sent showers of sparks up the chimney. "Then, it is the very best day for a story, don't you think?" The Little Boy came on the run at

that. The stories his mother told him made story-time the brightest spot in his day, but his appetite was so omnlverous along that line that sometimes she could think of no story to tell. On such occasions, she allowed him to suggest a subject, and she made up the story as best she could.

Now, as he cuddled beside her in the

big armchair, he announced the story

he wanted with complete confidence in her ability to make something from unpromising material. "Tell me what rainy days are good for," and then, quite impishly, he laughed.

"What a subject!" His mother raised her brows in surpise and stared

thoughtfully into the fire. What in the world was a rainy day good for which would make a story for a greedy little boy! About that time the firelight struck the diamond engagement ring on her finger, and a shaft of vivid light dazzled her eyes as much as to say, "Why, here Is your story right here." She smiled at the Little Boy in triumph: "Why, a rainy day is good to make diamonds, the most precious jewels in the world." The Little Boy clapped his hands and feet together at the same time,

mother smiled all the more mysteriously. "Don't you remember that story we read about how coal is formed? How the great ferns and trees were covered with water, and sand was left that became rock, and so on, until the water and the pressure formed coal after hundreds of years?" Yes; the Little Boy remembered that. He began to see how the rainy day in a squillion years or so might make coal or help to do it, but he was absolutely sure that coal had nothing to do with a diamond. After a heated debate his mother convinced him that the diamond was really the purest J!orm of carbon, and coal was also carbon. That was inter

esting; and he began to see how a

rainy day might be good to make dia

monds about two squillion years from j

a million years ago, but that was not enough story. He wanted to know-

how diamonds were obtained. His mother explained that they were dug out of the earth, as a rule, then she told him this strange story: "In a far away country, some of the very finest diamonds are in deep

ravenous he will do anything. Then they throw chunks of fresh meat down into the fissures and take the eagle to the cliff and release him. The starving bird flies down into the fissure and brings up the meat with the diamonds sticking in it. They recapture the eagle, and take the diamonds from the meat." "O-h-h!" gasped the little boy. "Do you think an eagle brought up your ring, Mother?" "I hope not," she said as she" lifted him from the chair so she could go to fasten the windows for the night.

Capt. V. W. Van Horn, 80 years old, and Mrs. Eva Brooks Van Horn Brooks, hjs 40-year-old bride, have gone to their new home in Chelsea, Mass., where the gallant Captain expects to settle down for life. Until recently he was an inmate of the Old Soldiers' Home in Augusta, where the bride worked most efficiently as a laundress. They met when he went to the department in which she was employed to complain because his uniform had not been cleaned according to his liking. A soft answer in reply to his complaint

opened the way for Cupid,, who makes

no distinctions when it comes to a matter of age. Prof. E. A. Kirk pa trick, of the Fitchburg, Mass., Normal School, at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science,

advocated the supplanting of churchmen by scientists in arranging affairs matrimonial. It is surmised, however, that the principal parties to the contracts of this nature will insist on retaining the responsibility for choosing their mates. But the following expression by the Professor will give some idea of what he thinks about it. after reading which the average man and woman will proceed in the

same old way and do their own selecting: "It cannot be denied." said the professor, . "that laws covering the granting of marriage licenses are far less rigid than those granting licenses to operate engines or motion picture machines, or for selling drugs. "Science already knows enough of anthropology, sociology and phychology to be of great benefit in framing marriage laws."

Too much effort has been wasted on divorce laws for the disruption of marriages in the past, the professor declared, and too little time expended on laws tending ,to" secure the mating of the right sort of persons to produce children. "It is a question," said he, "whether up to the present time marriage laws have not had more influence in hin
