What of Our .Character? It is This Alone Which Counts in the Long Run By VICE PRESIDENT DAWES. Address at Boston. BUT there is one other beacon light which still shines in thia country and of which we may well speak in New England in the Old North Church—the beacon light of the old New England character. Great as we are as a people, immense and diversified as is our population, enormous as is our national wealth, serious as have been the inroads upon the old standards of discipline upheld in the daily life of our forbears, amplified and complex as are our problems when compared to those of the days of Paul Revere, we may well lift our eyes to that old beacon light, and all the more so because the American people. . measured in history, is yet a young people with its character still in the making. We know what the power of the American people is and what it will grow to be. We know our great wealth and what it will grow to be. We know the material achievements which are ours and which still lie before us. But of that incomparably more important thing, the composite moral character of the coming generations of our people, we can but guess. History brings us example after example of a people who, in suffering and adversity, by self-discipline, frugality and industry have raised themselves to a position of wealth and material prosperity, only to be destroyed because their character could not stand that ultimate and crucial test which advancement in wealth and material things always brings. And so today in the United States, above all matters of business and material advancement, the one thought which should be uppermost in the minds of us all is: “What of our character?” It is this alone which counts in the long run. American civilization must meet its highest test—the test of whether or not it has followed those beacon lights of personal character which oui New England forebears lifted on high for the guidance of our people. ■ j Preparedness Is a Symptom of International Non-Codperaticn By MISS RUTH MORGAN, National League of Women Voters. Why does military and naval preparedness enter into any modern discussion of foreign policies? For one reason, because it is the outstanding sympton of international non-co-operation. Every new demand for increased preparedness, every danger suggested and every suspicion aroused echoes and re-echoes in other countries. What one nation does compels the action of another country. What is done on other continents influences our military and naval plans. So long as one nation prepares to attack, we must prepare to defend. But we can restrict ourselves in alarms, in hates, and even in preparations, not only for the sake of ourselves, but for the sake of the rest of the world. We can with consistency prepare to defend ourselves in the remote contingency of our being attacked and at the. same time go ahead to build a system of world order of which our nation shall be a part. In this field we have the leadership of great statesmen and responsible heads of governments the world over and President Coolidge has offered us the most emphatic leadership for this double responsibility. We can back his disarmament plans and we should do so in the most whole-hearted fashion. Leisure a Microbe-Bed From Which Come Naturally Disgraceful Conditions By GEORGE W. ALGER, in Atlantic Monthly. Why is it that crime in America is wholly out of proportion to crime in other civilized countries? Why do we have a record which cannot be equaled even in the most war-wrecked country of Europe? Those whe attribute all these blots on our national escutcheon to defects in our criminal law and our courts and the shortcomings of our police are shortsighted indeed. Why are we the greatest consumers of habit-forming drugs? Why are our insanity records appalling and getting worse? Os course, we cannot ascribe all these disgraceful conditions to any single cause, but one cause that is among the most fundamental we have scarcely considered at all. We have never regarded leisure as the microbebed from which come naturally and almost inevitably. As industry gTokrs less interesting to its participants and creates continuously less joy in work, we have, as a result, a not inconsiderable class of our young people seeking a more exciting and hazardous substitute for a life of such toil. A dull background of uninteresting work, i moreover, produces or tends to produce, in the leisure of those who work, j reactions to make a balance by excitement, thrill, danger, dope and lawlessness. “Americanitis” Is Causing 240,000 Preventable Deaths Annually By DR. W. 8. SADLER. Report to Gorgas Memorial Institute. “Amerii'anitis” is causing 240.000 preventable deaths yearly in this country. More Americans than any other white people are dying from heart disease, Bright’s disease, apoplexy and high-blood pressure between the ages of forty and fifty. The hurry, bustle and incessant drive of the American temperament is responsible for this peculiar and characteristic American mortality increase during the “dangerous age” period, between forty and fifty years. This distinctly American’ phenomenon can be remedied only by teaching the public that at least 60 per cent of the 400,000 such deaths can be prevented by proper medical advice in the early stages when these diseases are practically symptomlesa. Such breakdowns as we read of will continue until men know how to live. An inordinate ambition to forge ahead has driven many a man to his grave years ahead of his time. Two things are necessary to cope with the situation. The first is a yearly health audit A second is a change in living habits of most Americans. They must slow down their bodies and calm their nerves. Brig. Gen. A. A. Fries, U. S. A.—-In 1915 on Flanders field the poisonous fumes of chlorine gas were used as a deadly war weapon to mow down men by thousands. From killing to curing is the change science gradually has brought shout Modern times furnish no such graphic example of beating swords into plowshares as the discovery that chlorine gas. introduced as a powerful weapon of war, is now an effective treatment of colds, influenza, whooping cough and other injurious diseases. If the future vindicates the indications of the present, and we have no cause for doubt it is believed that this chlorine gas will save more lives each year than gas destroyed in the entire World war. z Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook, President General D. A. R.—lt is only an absurdly small minority who live and disport themselves where the lights are whitest There need be no fear about social conditions in our Republic these days. The numerous, the respectable, the hardy and thetree Americans are growing stronger and stronger in their course. This xrantxy will be safe in their hands. Prof. Albert A. Michelson, University of Chicago—Light travels 186,000 miles a second. The velocity of light has been measured to within about twenty miles of its speed. We wUI temporarily be satisfied whm
