Beginning . . and enroute
Professor Einstein has figured
out that the earth is at least ten
billion years old. Other scientists
have demonstrated that the begin
nings of life go back several mil
lion times a million years. The hu
man race, in the form in which we
exist today, is at least two million
years old.
In those two million years there
have been no important changes in
our human bodies. We are shaped
exactly like the earliest primitive
men and women, our bodily func
tions are just the same as theirs.
The only development of human
kind In all these multiplied millions
of years is in our brains.
Mankind's power to think, to
learn and to use what he learns to
change his environment and so
make life easier and safer, is the
only important difference which
science can detect between our
selves and the other animals. The
lowest type of human being is as
superior to the highest type of ape
in brain power, as Einstein himself
is superior to the Australian bush
man. Our brains are not yet large
enough or efficient enough to en
able us to master and apply all the
facts about the world we live in,
but each generation knows a little
more than the last about the best
way to live comfortably and happi
ly, which is, after all, the sole aim
of life.
Flying .... develops fast
Air travel and transportation of
merchandise by air have become a
well-established part of the daily
life of many businesses and busi
ness men. Few people realize how
much dependence is placed upon
the airplane for commercial pur
poses. More than a million pounds of
freight will have been transported
by air in the United States alone
this year, authorities figure. Most
of this is emergency transportation,
to be sure, but none the less im
portant. A friend of mine who
publishes a newspaper on Long Is
land found that a workman had
left a wrench on the press gears,
when he Btarted up the machinery.
New gears were needed at once. My
friend got out one issue of his pa
per on a press in a neighboring
town, but meantime telephoned to
the press builders a thousand miles
away. They sent replacement parts
and a repair man by plane, and the
damage was mended in less than
24 hours after the accident.
Air passenger traffic all over the
world has more than doubled in the
past year.
Why talk about "depression"
when people are willing to spend
more money than ever before for
flying?"
new adventure
Gold
Gold is worth more today than it
has been in forty years. That is,
an ounce of gold, worth $20 In U.
S. money, will buy more food, cloth
ing and every other kind of com
modity than ever before in the
memory of most of us.
It is natural, therefore, that there
should be more people prospecting
for gold now than at any time since
the great Klondike rush of 1897,
while the old gold deposits are be
ing worked more intensively than
ever.
Canadian gold mines produced 34
million dollars of gold in the first
nine months of this year. In South
Africa a great extension of the fa
mous gold-bearing reef of the Wit
waters Rand has been discovered.
The most amazing gold operation
however, is in the mountains of the
island of New Guinea, just north
of Australia, where gold is being
mined which can only be reached
by airplane, and all the machinery
for modern mining operations has
been flown up into this inaccessi
ble mountain country.
There is still adventure, with
possible profit at the end, for the
adventurous.
Mr. and Mrs. Sloan Thompson
of Butter creek had as their house
guest last week end their daughter
Ruth who is attending the Eastern
Oregon normal school at La
Grande.
Mrs. Ollie Neill had as ner guests
quite recently Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Ely of Portland, also Mr. and Mrs.
A. E. Wattenburger.
Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Neill and
family were guests last Sunday at
the home of their daughter and
son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Plourd and family of near Pendle
ton. Henry Peters of Portland, though
a former business man in Echo, en
joyed a few days pheasant hunting
on the Jess Arnold ranch on Butter
creek. Mrs. Peters isited with
friends and relatives in Echo and
Pendleton.
Fred Lee and Tommy O'Brien of
Butter creek were visitors in Echo
on Monday.
W. H. Hynd and his brother, Da
vid Hynd of Sand Hollow, were
Heppner visitors last Monday. They
met their brother Jack Hynd who
resides at Cecil.
Herman Young was a business
visitor in Heppner on Tuesday.
Willard Hawley and C. Melville
were business visitors in Heppner
on Monday of last week.
Ed Garner and brother Earl of
Echo were callers at West Camp
ranch and the' wheat ranch of B.

and Dorothy Doherty and their
brothers William and Lawrence,
and Ed Ditty.
Wilford Geiger who is employed
on the West Camp ranch, had the
misfortune to have been kicked in
the abdomen by one of his work
horses. While nothing serious re
sulted, Wilford feels like the foot
ball must feel after an exciting
football game.
Bill Doherty made a business trip
to Heppner on Tuesday.
Bill Finley and his son Arthur,
former residents of this commun
ity, who now reside near Hermis
ton, were in this vicinity on Wed
nesday. They were gathering up
old bones which they would burn
and use for chicken feed. While
here they called at the home of E.
H. Ebsen, which for years past was
the Finley home. Many of the pre
sent buildings on that ranch were
built by Mr. Finley. It will be re
membered that Mr. Finley's wife
died some months ago at her late
home in Hermiston. His son Ar
thur and wife Daisy are now mak
ing their home with Mr. Finley.
They are engaged in the poultry
business and are running a few
sheep.
During the storm last Thursday
many of the wheat ranchers were
unable to work, so some of the men
took advantage of the vacation and
visited with their neighbors.
Charles and Neil Melville were
business visitors in Echo Monday.
Among those from Alpine who
attended the "Stunt Nite" program
given at Heppner on Wednesday

port an enjoyable program.
Mrs. Dan Lindsay and daughter
Annie Ree visited at school on Fri
day and remained to attend the
joint program after school.
On Thursday and Saturday of
last week Mother Nature exerted
herself and punished us with se
vere storms of high winds and
much dust, all of which exasper
ated the weary housewife, but who,
very nonchalantly has cleaned up
her house again and is all set for
another visit from Mother Nature.
Observance of Francis E. Willard
day on Friday was held at the Al-
Eyes .... Leeuwenhoek
Nobody knows how long ago men
first observed that a convex crystal
or a piece of glass had the power
of magnifying objects. The Chi
nese were wearing spectacles a
thousand years ago. It was only
a little over 300 years ago, in 160S,
that Johannes Lippershep of Mld
dleburg made the first telescope,
by putting two spectacle lenses in
to the ends of. a tube; and It was
some years after that when An
thony van Leeuwenhoek, a mer
chant's clerk In Amsterdam, made
the first practical microscope with
which objects Invisible to the naked
eye could be seen.
Leeuwenhoek was born just 300
years ago, on October 24, 1632, and
lived to be 91 years old. He gave
modern science its first workable
eyes. It was nearly two hundred
years, however, before the world of
science began to understand the
significance of-Leeuwenhoek's dis
coveries. It reamlned for Pasteur,
the great Frenchman, to find out
that the minute "microbes" aescriD-
ed by the Dutchman were the germs
of disease and enemies or numan
ity. Modern scientific medicine be
gan with Pasteur, but it was Leeu
wenhoek who furnished medical re
search with its eyes.

PASSING JUDGMENT
Th other sort of women were
also attracted and impressed with
Jesus women of less fortunate ex
perience and reputation whole il
lusions regarding men were gone,
whose eyes saw piercingly, and
whose lips were well-versed in
phrases of contempt. As he taught
in the Temple, one of them was
hurried into his presence by a vul
gar crowd of self-righteous Scribes
and Pharisees. She had been tak
en in the act of infidelity, and ac
cording to the Mosaic law she could
be stoned to death.
Shrinking, embarrassed, yet with
a look in which defiance and scorn
were mingled too, she stood in his
presence, and listened while their
unclean lips played with the story
of her shame. What thoughts must
have raced through her mind she
who knew men and despised them
all, and now was brought to judg
ment before a man! They were all
alike, in her philosophy; what
would this one do and say?
To her amazement, and the dis
comfiture of her critics, he said
nothing. He "stooped down, and
with his finger wrote on the ground
as though he heard them not."
They craned their necks to see
what he wrote and continued to
taunt him with their questions:
"Moses says stone her; what do
you say,"
"Come now, if you are a prophet,
here's a matter for you to decide."
"We found her in the house of
So and So. She is guilty; what's
your answer?"
All this time he had not looked
at the woman's face, and he did
not look at her now. Slowly he
"lifted himself up," and facing the
evil-minded pack, said quietly:
"He that is without sin among
you let him first cast a stone at
her."

stooped down and wrote upon the
ground.
A painful silence fell upon the
crowd; he continued writing. He
wrote and one by one the thick
lipped champions of morality drew
their garments around them and
slipped away, until the court was
empty except for him and her.
Then, and only then, his glance
was lifted.
"Woman, where are those thine
accusers? Hath no man condemn
ed thee!" he inquired, as if in sur
prise. Amazed at the sudden turn of af
fairs she could hardly find her
voice.
"No man, Lord," she murmured.
"Neither do I condemn thee," he
answered simply. "Go and sin no
more.
From the moment when the noisy
vulgar throng had broken in upon
him, he was complete master of the
situation. Those were men not
easily abashed, but they slunk out
of his presence without waiting for
his command. And she, who knew
men so much more truly than men
ever know each other, felt his mas
tery, responded to his power, and
spoke to him reverently as "Lord."

"UNDEREATING"
I think I have written enough
words about overeating to fill a
book a large one. The great Amer
ican sin is overeating. Maybe it Is
the depression, but a late incident
leads me to write this letter about
not eating enough.
Last evening an old-time lady ac
quaintance ate supper with us, and
"a good time was had by all."
This lady friend of our family has
two grown daughters, and is her
own housekeeper. She is visiting
here for "nerves." She Is a bundle
of live wires has lost weight, until
her limbs are like casting-rods. She
has "dieted," yes indeed! She has
not left her digestive tract enough
nerves to do their work.
After a very hearty supper, she
stood up before me. "Now just
look, doctor," she half-complained,
"see how I am swelled." She bulg
ed herself out in front to exagger
ate the condition. "Does It hurt
you in any way?" I enquired. "No
but just look at it," she persist
ed; "a person oughtn't to tub out
that way after eating, should they "
"Well, you've eaten a good, whole
some meal," I said; "and if It causes
you no inconvenience forget it."
This good woman had actually
stinted herself in nourishment be
cause she was afraid of "tubbing
out" Actually denying herself the
necessary nutrition. Then her
nerves were going "hay-wire" about
keeping those darlings In school.
There was no disease preying on
her, not at all she was creating
her own troubles. A season of com
mon sense practice is all she needs.
How many of my good mothers of
daughters are like her starving
themselves into neurotics?
