Scientific Method Need in Government Perils to Democracy Pointed Out bv Noted Statesman in Address to Graduates of University of Oregon ' if Gov. Lowden We don't happen to know eight-year-old Mary Lulior of : Chicago, but we're for her, just the same. For she gave a i busy-body cop a few moments of real confusion and anyone 1 who can do that deserves praise. Mary was strolling in a .bathing suit on the lawn near a bathing beach. An easily- shocked policeman saw her and severely informed her that it was against the law to wear a bathing suit on. the streets of Chicago. And Mary, thereup, promptly took it off! There are good enough reasons for keeping adults from going ', about the streets in bathing suits, no doubt. Hut a policeman : who feels that lie has to enforce that law against an eight : year-old girl well, he's perilously close to being a plain, un- varnished-sap. We hope little Mary's action made him blush, i i It seems that Mark Twain erred when he said nothing can ; be (lone about the weather. If he didn't err, a Swedish seien i list has deceived us, for the latter claims that a person can almost shiver under a scorching sun by the more or less , simple expedient of entertaining frigid thoughts. This idea ! in hypnotic refrigeration would bo an excellent one were it humanly bos.sibie to think about the cold when the weather, is such that the heat is the only thing people think and talk Ijihout. The author of this new way to keep cool suggests thinking about the liyrd Antarctic expedition, which has been weathering temperatures of (id and 70 degrees below zero. That probably will not make it any cooler here but it makes !)8 in the shade a lot more tolerable. These suggestions point ' the way .to a happy solution of the hot weather problem. Meanwhile, permanent relief is promised in the prophecy that , another glacial age is due in a thousand years. I'KACE PACTS AND WAK MACHINES There are few more energetic workers for world peace than If. C. Wells, the famous British novelist. I'.ut Mr. Wells is a trifle pessimistic about the prospects; and the reasons why he is pessimistic, as set forth by him in a recent radio address in England, arc worth giving here. He points out, to begin with, that while peace is being given more enthusiastic lip service all over the world now than ever before, military armaments are also getting more attention. Italy, France, England, America, Japan all have signed the Kellogg pact, but in each one preparation for war goes on unabated. j "At prevent," says Mr. Wells, "we have in the world enough I of the most beautiful and 'powerful apparatus you could im agine to crush, smash, drown, suffocate, poison, blister, scald, l ip up and tear to pieces HO or -It) million people in which ;!0 or 40 millions quite a number of my hearers tonight may ' confidently count themselves. And every day men of the highest intelligence and the greatest energy are adding to that equipment. It, can be replaced as it is used up. It can be extended. "Such considerations as these throw ever so faint a shadow, even in the most optimistic minds, upon the confi dence we should like to feel about, the Kellogg Pact. 1 hate to suggest a doubt of my fellow-creatures, but did the gov ernments that signed the Kellogg pact really mean it when they signed it." That is a question that will lake some answering. All that Mr. Wells says is tint) enough. There are more deadly engines of Chicago. And Mary, thereupon, promptly took it off! are constantly being added to. Why, if we are to "outlaw", war? I Peace isn't gained simply by signing impressive treaties1 and doing a lot of talking. It has to be worked for one might almost say, fought for. The Kellogg treaty is a step1 in the right direction, but only a step. It has had some infill-1 encc on the Kussia-China double, some on President Hoover who has held up naval consti uction. Its influence will glow.

LOWDEN Furincr Governor of lllinon Th ctv-ili7Jition! of t lie past have liml a coiinnon history. In their earliest stagm cnn.litions of living were primitive, wealth 11s we view il miK unknown, anil human life win precarious. An civilization a.lvsnte.l simplicity gave ivnv to complexity, mere ws 11 Kriimini mcrrnm in wenllii, nn-l life became securer within the state. This process went on until civilization renehcl its climax ami cntcreil upon its decline. This hns been the story of all the civilizations which precede.! our own. Is there n re hutless law of the rise and fnll of civilization from which no civilization is immune! Is man bound forevei by some cruel fate to move forward until the paths ot progress nrc blocked by an iiniccn hand, with 11 illi'iio but disaster ahead of him I These arc questions which thoughtful men everywhere nre asking themselves. And these arc questions which the universities must nnswei if tliev are to have an answer. The scieatific spirit distinguishes this nge in wlncr. wo livu above all that wenk. before. Il is chiefly respon sible for the very torni our presi nt eivilixallon takes Industrialism, which is the predonmiaat quality of that 1 ivilizilion, is in very truth the child 01 science, in cvi-ri step in Hie evolution of an industrial society it was science that pointed he B In this wonder working period of ours, man has indeed largcIV conquered tlm forces of nature and made them 10 serve his will. As Joseph McColm in "Tho Marvels of Modern I'h.vsics," snys : . ., "The living thing, which has been Hie toy of the elements .for , ', hundreds of millions of years, is becoming their mnster." , . h.;.mi I., fiirirtunus'v increased the' oroduetie eiuwcity of man. Ill ! tho industrial field one man can produce as much as six men could prod-icf seventy-five years ago. In agriculture one grower ot wnenl is equal 10 inrmi growers of tin- dnvs of our KVvulutioiiary 1'athers. While the achievements of science and invention have improved inimeiis lirnbly the condition in life of the overage man, scientists everywhere bchevi Unit we nro on the eve of far greater discoveries than any that have hithertr , blessed mankind Science has shown that the atom, which long was thought to bo an inert thing, the ultimate basis of all mutter, liny as' it is, contnins a force which transcend,, nil known forces so far used. When men shall learn to avail themselves of this force, ns our scientists confidently tell us thet will, production, which is the aim of all labor, will be greatly quickened One of the most noted of recent scientists is reMirtcd as saying that within the life of the present generation three hours of labor will be as fruitful a eight hours arc now. The discovery of that magic called milium hns openc" up vast new possibilities to the eye ot science. In fnct, the enrlh seemi trembling upon the verge of new discoveries which will revolutionize life ami bless mankind. There seems to be but ono thing that enn prevent this con summation so devoutly to be wished unci that is man himself. In the minimi inarch of the material sciences, it is to be noted with regret that it was not the universities or tlm institutions of higher learning which look the lead. ltncoa published his " Novanum Organnin" in lli'-'0, the year the I'llgrim Fathers landed at IMyiiinuth Hock. This is commonly regarded ns the begin ning of the present scientific age. lie suggested observation of facts and experimentation ns substitutes fur scholastic theories. It might be supposed tint the. universities of that time would bo th first to feel the impetus of this new movement. Hut not so. Curricula ol tho universities- remained ns they had been from the beginning. The firsl effort to organize the new knowledge of tho world in which we live which sprung from the Unconiaii method wns innile, not by the universities, but by tho Hoyal Society organized in Unglnnd in I Olio. The universities ol Kngliuid, for mure than 11 century, were seemingly oblivious of this new movement which was to transform the world. And so in ttie new world, the colleges, which were founded largely upon tho Knglish model, long contented themselves with the classics, with logic, with elementary mathematics, and were unmoved by the new spirit of science which wns abroad in the world. About tho middio of the eighteenth century, however, the influence of the scientific spirit had mnile its impress upon America, and Benjamin Franklin founded what was called at first the American Academy, but which latcr wns reorganized as the American I'hilosophirnl Soeiety. Though in establishing tho American Philosophical Society, Franklin flit (ullowjud tjio.prcefdciil set bv I lie Hoyal Society in Mnghind, of which 10 was 11 member, he enjoys the dislinclioii of being tho first in the modern world to extend the scope of the college und university so ns lo include tho developing sciences. In 1735 he was instrumental in establishing the College of Philadelphia. Scholastic subjects were included in the curriculum, but lo theso were ndded scientific instruction in all of tho sciences that thus far had been evolved. This w:n the beginning of the revolution which has jraiHfurmed the curricula of the modern universities of the world. Nor was Franklin satisfied with instruction in the nmtorinl sciences alone. Tho College of Philadelphia included in its leaching such subjects n "history, civics, ethics, government, trade, fomtnerco and international law.

Many people foar that the ap pearance of artificial teeth wilt be audi aa to attract attention. Hut "dead" teeth always have a differ ent appeurunce In the mouth, and In pyorrhea, aa soon ub tho tooth beffln to looaen thoy loae their reg ularity and become unsightly. Many times teeth properly arrang ed on un artificial denture will make a decided improvement In a patient's appearance. Ah far as the function of chevy ing Is concerned, artificial teeth can atfd do muKticati the food well enough for proper digestion. They may give some trouble at flrat, but by perseverance tho patient noon learns to eat with them quite well. Til is la especially true If tho pa tient begins to wear denliirea early in middle life. When artificial teeth are made, the ditist'H advice, ahould be fol lowed as la what matorluls lo uc. In general, gold dijnturea or lho.se made from some of tho other met als such as Kidver-pallad jum 01 aluminuiii or even stainless sleel. are much hotter than 'those made of rubber. No colonies of bactelru will adhere to metals as they may do lo rubber, if a patient is care less about cleansing. The conduc tivity of melal not only keeps the J mouth healthier, but gives a feel- ! Ing of coolness that Is not possible 1 with rubber. 'Phis Is not to con-1 demn rubber dentures, however, as a large percenlage of those worn today are made of this material and arc functioriing well, in fact the choice of material is of much less importance If the mouth remains healthy 'and no mouth can remain healthy that retains dlsesed leVth.
