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,

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.

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.

sible for the very torni our presi nt eivilixallon takes
Industrialism, which is the predonmiaat quality of that

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." , .

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. "
