SECOND STAGE OF RECOVERY
Anjrone wlio has studied the public reaction to tue icvuveiy

passed from the first phase of this experiment into the sec
ond. The first phase was the era of unanimous public ap
proval. Few of us unclersUiod exactly what was going on.
but we could see that some definite action was being; taken,
and we liked the idea. There were no dissenting votes.
Everything that was done drew a round of cheers.
' Now things are different Criticism has begun. . The
various acts of the recovery program are being submitted to
searching analysis, and those who believe they see defects
are not backward about calling attention to them. : '
It would be a mlgalre to assume that this criticism proceeds solely from
those who hsi prtraie axes to grind. There is some sniping going on. of
course, touched off by gross selfishness: yet that In itself is not enough
to explsin the change In the public's attitude. Endently we surtply came
to the end of the period in which our one wish was to ste "action, and
action now." We couldnt go on cheering forerer orer the fact that the
national government had mtovered from an attack of paralysis. It got
to be high ume for us to bring our critical faculties to life.
This 1 bound to be a good thing for the admlnlstrsuon. No government
can gin Its best If there is a complete and continued absence of critlcuzn.
II its every act is hailed as a masterpiece of wisdom, it sooner w lster
will get to be like an engine without a nywheeL Perhaps the best thing
thst could hsve happened to the irooveiy program as a whole Is the fact
that peopls now are ready to cpeak up In meeting the moment they see

Wo are. after all. still a tiexnocracy and not a dictatorship. We want to

A MEASlBE OF AGE
While ordinarily we measure age
in terms of years, we knoi. that not
evpry oiie is as oM or as young as
his years. Science, however, has need
for a measure of constitutional age.
Some years ago there was coined
the saying "A rran ts as old as his
arteries.- There is much truth in
this saying.
KoTPever, the elasticity of the ar
teries, or the displacement of plastic
protoplasm by hard salt deposits, can
not be mesisured with any degree of
precision.
Recently a new yard? tick has been
developed. This is the lens of the
human eye. The average human be
ing on passing iniittlle ace develops
what is technically known as pres
byopia, that is farsightedness.
Tais is recognized as a relative loss
cf the ability to see printed matter
or objects held close zo the eye. Par
sirhtedriess oJ the aging Individual is
accounted for by the toss of elaiticity
:n the tissi of the leas.
The degree of rigidity of the lens
can be meairjred accurately
Br sturiTlng the average decree of
presbyopia developed in normal in
diviuBis at rarious ere, a fitrure
was arrived at which could be taken
as standard. i
Thus, an individual 40 years old;
by tbe calendar, but with a pres- i
byopia corresponding to the average j
found among those 60 years of age,
would be said to be anatomically !
older than his years, while a 60-year-old
individual with the farsight of
a 40-year-old man would be said to be
young for bis years.
Studies made on the histories of
laree groups showed that in persons ,
in whom the presbyopia is less than i
average, life expectancy is much ;
greater than in those In whom pres '
byopia is above the average. I

recognized as the son of the c name

Gable,
Director Sam Wood, trying to fig
ure the best way to clinch such an 1
identification, decided it was neces
sary to use a child who had the out
standing characteristics of the co
stars. The casting office sent out a
call which was responded to by more
than a half hundred anxious mothers
with sons otf all sizes and description,
each Insisting their child was a dead
ringer for Miss Harlow and Gable.
