THE MYSTERY OF LIFE
From the time when people lived
in caves, there have always been
certain men who chose to cut loose
from all divine writing. and revela
tions and seek, for themselves, the
secret of the origin and purpose of
life.
Their searchings have added a
good deal to the sum total of hu
man knowledge, to be sure. But the
plain, matter of fact explanation
they seek has always eluded them.
Now comes Professor C. Lovatt
Evans, one of England's foremost
scientists, to announce that the mys
tery of life's origin and purpose will
never be solved by any scientist. Al
ways, he says, there will remain an
ultimate riddle that no laboratory
worker can answer.
Perhaps this is because people,
after all, aren't really matter of fact
or commonplace at all.
Study your fellow man in the
mass, day by day, and you may see
nothing extraordinary about him.
He is, at times, quite mean and blind
and selfish and ignorant and cow
ardly. You are almost persuaded that
there is no trace of divinity in him
that he is, after all, only an ani
mat clod.
Then, if you look closely, you be
gin to see things.
You see, beside the ignoble qual
ities, strange capacities for sacri
fice, endurance, courage, fidelity,
Tiope.
You see a mother in the slums,
starving herself to provide a little
extra food for the child.
You see an underpaid factory
drudge working his life away so that
people who depend on him may live.
You see a man with a vision giv
ing up riches and honor in order i.o
make the world a better place for
men and women who are not yet
born.
You see men fighting poverty, sick
ness and hunger in order to pursue
some glimpse of truth.
You see men weaving songs and
snaring beauty in a net of words
while cities go down in flames about
their ears.
And, now and then, you hear bat
tle trumpets and see flags waving,
and thousands upon thousands of
men step up, without hesitation, to
die at someone else's bidding, in
the vague hope that somehow the
world will be made a bit better
thereby. - . H - -i -'
Will you keep on looking then, for
a matter of fact explanation? You
will not not if you are wise. You
will recognize, instead, a great mys
tery, made radiant by distant flames.

WHO'S LOONEY NOW?
The long suffering American, who
has been plagued by the perplexities
of his income tax blank, recently got
a little joy out of the report that
the Frenchman was even worse off
in this respect. The latter, if he
really would not count the chance
of trouble with his almighty govern
ment, must, it was said, wade thru
and understand the meaning of some
36 pages of regulations.
Whatever kick the American got
out of this news is now, alas, to be
dissipated. Somebody has taken the
trouble to look up on regulations in
his respect, and has found they cover
about 150 pages in all. Instead of
being better off than the Frenchman,
he is worse off. Instead of running
fewer risks of being caught by the
bureaucrats, the American is obliged
to run more. Indeed, he has to pay
the expense of a host of bureaucrats
whose sole aim is to devise income
blanks so intricate that they can set
up in business as tax experts, in or
der to save the citizen from being
caught In error by the bureaucrats
who are not yet ready to start out on
their own.
Which is no doubt distressing, but
proves again that whoever thinks our
bureaucracy is behind any other in
pestering the citizen is woefully in
error.

VITAL EXCEPTIONS
HITHERTO UNNOTED
A ship is chistained with cham
paign, and ever thereafter takes to
the water Some ' prohibitionist.
When our father Old Noah had
built the ark, and our shipping
first started to bud.
He set out with his crew and the
animals too, on a voyage evading
the flood;
And for forty long days and forty
long nights did. the waters continue
to rise.
Hence old Noah was taught as few
humans have been the true worth of
pure water prize;
As the first of our sailors, his
judgment of water is one with which
we should agree.
For if ever a man was acquainted
with water, 'twas Noah, who first
sailed a sea.
NAVAL PLANS AND . I
THE KELLOGG PACTj
Washington dispa'tches intimate
that if England can make construc
tive suggestions in its forthcoming
reply to the American naval . note
Mr. Coolidge and the State Depart
ment will welcome them. It might
be added that if England and France
are to make a fresh move they will do
well to make it promptly. Chairman
Britten and Chairman Hale of the.
House and Senate Naval Affairs Com- (
mittees have both just declared inj
favor of a vigorous program of naval
construction. Both mention the at-(
tempt at an Anglo-French accord as
a reason for energetic action. It has
simultaneously become evident in
Washington that some Senators fa-
voring'the Kellogg pact will be will-j
ing to make concessions on naval
construction to secure ratification.
The London Times' Washington cor
respondent warns England that Sen
ator Borah is one of these, and that
he will be joined by others eager to
spike "the charge that they are crim
inally neglecting national interests."
England and France should not
assume that because their proposed
accord is now scrapped it has had
no practical effect in naval affairs.
The suspicions it aroused have
strengthened the big-navy element
in Washington.
:o:
REAL NAMES IN NOVELS
Many of us will view with a great
deal of uneasiness the suit which has
been filed against Edna Ferber in
the amount of $25,000 by a man who
bear3 the same name as one of the
characters in "Show Boat." He
makes no effort to prove that the
character in the book was intended
as a portrait of himself, but merely
sets forth that he bears the char
acter's name and that he has been
subjected to a great deal of annoy
ance as a result. And should he re
cover, obviously we would face a
situation similar to that which ob
tained in England some years ago,
and perhaps still does to some ex
tent. Persons who found names the
same as their own in works of fiction
were allowed to collect in court, and
thus authors who were quite inno
cent of any intention to cast asper
sions on particular persons, either
had to settle or defend a suit. The
result was that English authors had
to provide their characters, in order
to be safe, with preposterous and im
plausible names, to the great detri
ment of the artistic value of their
work.
Is the person whose name hap
pens to coincide with the name of a
character in a book much harmed?
One doubts.

"BUY PUBLIC UTILITIES"
Anticipating a Hoover victory, the
big commission house impressed upon
speculators yesterday the desirabil
ity of purchasing stocks in public
utility companies. These stocks are
expected to rise markedly as a re
action to Republican victory, evi
dently on the theory that much vic
tory means that the public utilities
will have clear sailing for the next
four years.
Mr. Hoover has been friendly with
the public uilities, and his strong
position against government owner
ship and operation 6uits them per
fectly. In fact, their nation-wide
propaganda campaign, reaching even
into the public schools. Governor
Smith condemned the operation of
such power sites as Muscle Shoals.
It is thus easy to understand why
a Republican victory is expected to
send up public utility securities.
