On Hobbies
Oliver Wendell Holmes said orice to a young friend, "I
believe that every man must have a hobby that is as dif
ferent from his regular work as it is possible to be. It
is not good for a man to work all the time at one thing."
l)r Holmes carried out his theory by finding outside in
terest in the shape of a carpenter uhop, which provided
in abundance the diversion and change from hia literary
and medical labors that he needed.
Roosevelt also was a living exponent of this theory.
He spent little time passively, but found his rest in change
of occupation and attention to subjects quite outside the
world of his" main career; He entered upon an African
hunting trip with as much vim as he ever delivered a
political speech, but the one occupation was u rest and
lelaxation from the other.
Too few people realize the Value of this kind of pro
ductive rest. 1 Its object is not incessant activity, but the
freshening of the faculties by turning them to entirely
new activities, and thereby enriching and deepening the
individual's interest .in the main work.
i The main, job rarely suffers, by the maintenance of a
hobby... Instead,. JV gains, in Jthe menBUre in which the one
! who holds the job profits by the hobby.

The Radio Comeback
How are your aerials,, and your cal-whiskera and your
binding posts? . ' ',
' . What 1 You don't mean to say you had forgotten all
'about radio! Well, you are in the same boat with most of
us.' After the big wave of wireless telephony, enthusiasm
died down a great deal. ; .
: But don't believe the calamity howlers who say that
that is the end of tho radio fad. Not a bit of it. They
said the same thing about Alexander Graham Bell a gen
eration ago, when he was. toying with the telephone.
- .In his later yeais Dr., Bell wouldn't have a phone hi
his house; he said it was a nuisance, and so, it must be
confessed, it is. . 1 ! .
,' But it also is one of modern life's indisuensablos. So
will radio be. The engineers of wireless haven't boon idle
this summer. They knew that most of us soon would gel
tired of radio. Now the entire process is being inlonsivclv
studied, and one of these days radio truly will be the serv
ant, instead of the mere entertainer of man, iust as the
telephone became.
Meanwhile, it's the concert and the crop report and the
bedtime story most of us will want. Wait till tho long
winter evenings. Then the electrical genius of the house-
hold will be dragging his set out once more, and we'll
tako turns again with the receivers to our ears.

A Friendless World
A reviewer of books points out that the recent crop
of translations is unprecedented. That i3 of good omen.
As no man is sufficient unto himself, so is no nation. It
is wen mr uie peoples or the world to come into the full,
cpt .understanding of each other's literature. Such an un
derstanding makes for world peace. ,
,, The printing press is the most powerful factor in mak
ing 'men feel the common brotherhood of humanity.! But
language differences are a great barrier against interna
tjonal understanding. It is very easy to gel the notion
that the fellow who can't understand or s)eak your lan
guage is a potential enemy. But when you can read his
thoughts in your own forms of thought, and recognize that
his desires and purposes and ideals are akin lo yours, you
lose, the sense of alienation. .
' , .After all the great spirits among all the different ienples
jret about the same revelations, have about the same aspir
ations and believe in about the same principles. It is this
community of spirit that translation helps to bring about.
The world cannot have too much of this.

rpJIlO Chinese pray io their anccslors. Hut lliey do
more than that. They allow themselves to lie guided
hy family tradition in their every thought and action.
The principal difficulty facing the introduction of mod
ern improvements into China is (he universal objection:
"This is not as our fathers did." .
Imagine saying that we did n,.t want electricity be
cause our forefathers were satisfied with candles.
'. .' ,
Though we never went as far as the Chinese, our con
servatisin in the past often went to considerable lengths.
Think of the telephone, of the motor car. How much
encouragement did they get at first?-
Advertising more than anything else lias made of us
a nation willing to judge something new on its-merits,'
rather than on narrow, ancient traditions.
Advertising today is an necessary as elect rieityTsani- '
tation and rapid transit. It is more than the system by
which we arc kept informed of every new improvement
that is to our advantage. Jt is the catalog wherein, '
every day, all manner of articles are listed for us with
their individual advantages.
