Somewhere In the North s-Atlanta ocean something has happened to ttw Arctic current. The United State* coast guard has sent Lieut. Edwan H. Smith (shown above in uniform) who is one of the foremost experts ir oceanography, to solve the puzzle. The tenij>erature of a whole section of the ocean has raised 7 degrees, and the usual several hundred icebergs seen at this time of year has dwindled to lees than a dozen.

No More “Survival of the Fittest”; a Survival of All Not Too Unfit 1 ’ [■■ ■’ By DR. VERNON KELLOGG, in Atlantic Monthly. SIXTY years of active study since Darwin, of evolutionary phenomena and of technical discussion among specialists, do not leave evolution just where it was when Darwin and his coadjutors had to drop it. For example, Darwin saw in natural selection a satisfying explanation of the origin of species. We do not see this now. We see in natural selection an important factor in the control of evolutionary lines of plant and animal development, and a restraining sieve for the too unfit species, but not a sufficient unaided cause of species transmutation and adaptation. There is no more “survival of the fittest.” There are many* many things about nature that we do not understand. We do not understand the origin of life or the fundamental cause or causes of its constant flux. We lack a satisfying explanation of such highly specialized adaptations as the extremes of protective coloration, the nest-taking habits of the solitary wasps, the extraordinary structural modifications and elaborate life-history of the complete parasites, and, "ven more baffling, those adaptive specializations which require for their utility very precise reciprocal modifications of structure and habit on the part of two different animal species, or on the part of a plant and an animal, as the orchids and the insects that crosspollinate them. So.l want to plead for a wider conceptioniof evolution, a conception as wide as living Nature herself. One of the objections to the acceptance of evolution has been its particularity. It has seemed to too many to be a special explanation of a few special problems in Nature. To a laige part of the general public it has seemed chiefly an explanation of human origin, which flies in the face of the Biblical explanation, and hence, by easy implication, is something .that denies the Bible, God and religion. But it is much more than this, and at the same time does not have all the significance attributed to it by the theologians. It is living Nature, and the way that living Nature has become what it is and will further become what it will be. Melting Pot, Not Test Tube for Experiments With Theories of Government By MRS. A. W. COOK. President-General D. A. R. The curriculums of our schools must be made to serve the needs of aur times, and we must see to it that the conditions of teaching are sound and just, so that if we find among the teaching force in any one of our institutions of learning progenitors of half-baked radicalism, bolshevism, or socialistic communism, imposing their dangerous doctrines upon our youth, we shall as speedily scourge them out, as we would a virulent plague. There is no place in this country for divided allegiance. No man can serve two governments, or two patriotisms. If America is to serve civilization, America must stand first in the hearts of Americans. America* is a melting pot, not a test tube for experiments with theories of government. The hope of America’s tomorrow is in the "boys and girls of today. If the rising generation seems too free, too indifferent to convention, it is 1)01*81156 its faults are magnified through the varieties of opportunities for their revelation. Where is the man or woinan who has not yielded to frivolous impulse in youth? Where the mature sedateness and decorum that has not been spiced with a dram of youthful folly? Who of us in the fullness of years and good deeds would willingly be judged wholly by one act of our early exuberance? Who dares to mistrust youth? Who dares to appraise the whole of a life by a part? If such there be. let him banish his doubt, and temper his judgment in the records of supreme sacrifice and bright courage of youth written in the pitiless heat of the World war. America’s sons and daughters have never failed their country in great emergencies and they never will. Women Have Done a New Thing: They Have , Made Lobbying Respectable By MAUD WOOD PARK, League of Women Voters. Women have done a thing which has never been done before; they have made lobbying respectable. In the old days when a certain group or a certain interest wanted a bill put through congress it sent a lobbyist or two to Washington or engaged somebody on the ground skilled at the business to see members of congress, and “persuade” them to vote for the measure. In those days it would have been the direst of insult to say on the floor of the house or senate that a man was voting as he had been asked tc vote. Now senators and representatives rather pride themselves on having it known that they are voting in the way the women them to vote. The women’s lobby is a “front door” lobby. It works in the open and is effective by reason of the millions of women behind it. Seventeen national organizations of women have representatives in Washington who work for legislation of interest to women in general regardless of party affiliations. They make no secret of it, for publicity is one of their three tremendous assets. The millions of voters behind them and the inherent common sense of the bills they push are the other two. Women Much More Radical and Uncompromising by Nature Than Men By DR. MARIAN PHILLIPS, Woman British Labor Women are radicals hy nature. They are much more radical and uncompromising than men. It’s true that in the past women have seemed to be conservative. But that’s because only until within comparatively recent times have they had a chance to participate in politics. So naturally they have been indifferent But once women become politically conscious. they turn to the left The recent election in England showed that I think as women become more and more interested in political affairs their radical tendencies will come progressively to the front I have little patience with a woman’s party such as Alice Paul is heading in the United States. I do not believe in separate politics for women. It’s not necessary. They should mix with the men. There are plenty of men ,who are interested in seeing that justice is done the women and more can be accomplished by working in conjunction with men sympathetic to our aims than by working separately. The record of the Labor party has shown that. Os course, there are problems which concern principally women and on which they should have and exercise the greater influence in determin ing the party’s policy. Captain Bruce Bairnsfather, cartoonist and writer—Americans are grown-up boys. Here you find dignified men of business, bankers, brokers and statesmen reading the comic strips in the newspapers. But in England such a thing could never happen. Here it is different because American* have the spirit of youth in their hearts and love to laugh. Mrs. Joseph T. Bowen, Chicago Club Woman.—lndifference is one of the greatest foes which any nation has to fight. Id the election of when women voted for the first time, only 53 per cent of the voters Such indifference on the part of

Found Treamre Where Thrown Brick Landed An ancient Sumerian library of cuneiform tablets has been found by the simple expedient of throwing a brick on a spot on the side of a bill under which the library has lain bidden for centuries. The discovery was made by Professor Langdon, the Araer-ican-born Oxford assyriologist, who la directing the Weid-Bruncrell expedition excavations at the ruins of the Babylonian city of Kish, near Bagdad. The discovery of the library occurred just In time to stop the preparations for the suspension of the excavating work, for it was the opinion of the leaders of the expedition that the library had been destroyed with other missiug sections of the city. “I was convinced.” said Professor Langdon In writing of the discovery, "that If still existing a certain library lay on the western side of a certain mound and I dug there vain ly for weeks. The idea that the library was there disturbed my mind r.nd even haunted my sleep. In despair, and grasping a chance of divination. I went alone to the top of the mound and ch«se a brick of the age of Nebuchadnezzar which lay at my feet, and narked on It an arrow. Then, after blindfolding myself and turning round many times to lose my bearings. I threw the brick*backward over my head. “The next morning digging was recommenced at the place indicated by the arrow, and withitf two hours a large nest of valuable literary tablets was found.” The library is by far the most Important find the expedition has made during its three years’ work. It Is expected to yield literary treasures which even the libraries of the Pharaohs have not contained. Already 20 rooms of the library have been uncovered., all of which are filled with tablets. and there are 20 more rooms yet to be explored. Kish Is the oldest capital of ancient Babylon, and was founded immediately after the flood. The excavated ruins show the city to have bpen five miles long and four miles wide and it is here that the oldest known kings nf history lived. Much Is known of the history of the city from other sources, but the story of Its birth and prosperity still- have to be found tn the ancient records. He Looked Ahead An aged man in an Interurban car near Dunreith glanced out of the car window at a clump of new trees and. growing reminiscent, said: » “When I was a youngster, mother told me that the hack eighty acres would be mine some day. I thought that If It was going to be mine I'd do something for it. I gathered two bushels of fine walnuts one day and. taking them to the eighty, planted them all over tlM* farm —wherever I thought they would he able to grow without future molestation. “Fifty years later, when the farm was sold, the walnut timber on that farm brought me as much as the land Itself.” All of which goes to show that reforestation may be more profitable than is Indicated by the oriental proverb, which, viewing it from a slowgrowth angle, runs: “He who planteth a tree loveth others than himself.”—lndianapolis News. “Black Magic** Black magic is as old as the black race and. If there were not some wood in It. It would hardly have survived Belief in It is universal throughout savage Africa. Even In the minds of our educated. American negroes dim echoes of magic times still reverberate. Uneducated negroes are still believers. If you wish to test the truth of this statement, shout “Voodoo!* at a negro in the dark. His rabbit’s foot is a token of magic. Black magic has never been scientifically studied. If it were thoroughly Investigated.

Odd Experience While flopping In my home town, writes a correspondent of the Chicago Journal. 1 wus suddenly caught in the arms of an old ludy who cried, “Edna. Edna, why did you leave John? Come back to him. John, here’s Edna,” she screamed. John took me in bis arms and tried to* kiss me. 1 hid my face. The clerks* had known me for years, and came to my rescue. They were hard to convince that I. was not Edna, but after looking me over carefully they left with puzzled looks on their faces. Time to Cut Wood The forest products laboratory says that the time of cutting wood has very little effect upon its durability if the timber is properly cared for afterward. Late fell or winter cutting Is simplest, as the wood seasons more slowly and with less checking, and by warm weather Is seasoned enough to be lees susceptible to borers and fungi. There la, however, practically no difference in moLMure content of green wood In winter and summer.
