Do We Really Need Religion?
"Don't iuu tlma with religion. It'i maralj an anod;n, for
those who can't endure pain, merely a crutch for those who
haven't the strength to stand, on their two feet. It's the un
failing evidence of weakness, proof that there la some fatal In
flrmlty of the will. The greatest service to humanity Lenin ever
rendered was the emancipation of the church ridden masses of '
bureaucratic Russia, from the yoke of the priest, the slavery of
dogma and ritual. We have no religion and are proud of It,
Atheism la the fsltb of the future, and the guarantee of human
freedom, which Includes the freedom of the spirit."
The above is an extract from a personal letter written by a
young Russian to his sister in New York, as quoted in the con
tributors letter box of an Eastern magazine.
It undoubtedly represents the faith of Communistio youth,
which as far as religion is concerned, is no faith 'WHATEVER.
Belief in God, belief in any higher spiritual authority, is scorned
as a product of ignorance, superstition and fear.
WELL, it will be interesting to see how the Russian experi
ment works, nut. Our nwti hplipf is if wnr't nmrlr mir
v - . . -v " v - . ;
at least not as the leaders of Communism expect.
To date there is no indication of a breakdown in this irreligi
ous dictatorship, no evidence that the Russian people are discon
tented with a purely materialistic world,-or as a whole, feel the
need of something more.
But the Bolshevik movement is young; it is still essentially a
revolt of youth. Communistic idealism is young too, it has not
yet matured, therefore just as an individual that has not ma
tured, it doesn't REALLY know life.
There is another point. Russia claims to have no religion,
but strictly speaking, this isn't true. It has made its New Deal
a religion. The dictatorship of the proletariat, so new, so
alluring, so full of hope and promise is its church, its creed,
and for the time being answers not only every mental and
physical but every SPIRITUAL demand.
But wait until this materialistic goal is Achieved, assuming
that it will be achieved. Wait until these various Five Years
Plans have been completed, and the job has been done.
WHAT THEN f
The world will have been made over, a fairer distribution of
the world's goods, which is the fundamental purpose of Com
munism, will have been achieved, will that be all-satisfying
and sufficient? Will Russia continue to go on without a God
land without a religion with nothing higher, nothing more mysti-

on ths grounds that an emergency,
calling for the tax, must be met to
save the schools of the staie and re
lieve the property tax of ths now ex

The resolution read:
"Whereas, an extreme emergency
exists with our common schools,
threatening to close the doora of a
large number of them: and
"Whereas, due to the continued
and prolonged effects of the depres
sion, our real property la no longer
able to bear the whole tax load as It
has done in the past; and
Whereas, the 37th legislative as

In nearly every community where
the (health) Intelligence la low there
Is some old woman or hermit or
Srilother queer cjiar-
a c t e r who Is
shrewd enough to
tAke advantage of
the credulity of
the neighbors end
to capitalise the
superstitious 1 e -
igend that 'may
eventually bring
the charlatan . u.
easy living ca tar
ing to the Ignor
ant folk who seek
miracles.
Most wounds and ourns cause more
or less Itching when they are heal
ing or for a short time after healing
Is completed. It Is safe for the char
latan to promise to cure the Itching
If she gets a whack, at It. The Itch
ing Is certain to cease presently, no
matter what la done.
The' best prevention of scarring In
any case is the beat medical and sur
gical care 'r'jm the first moment
such care Is available. People who
elect to monkey with their own
wounds or to have truck with neigh
borhood busy bodies or charlatans
summoned from the next county
should wear their ugly scars with
good grace.
Once a scar has formed, nothing
but surgery can remove or conceal It
or materially improve the cosmetic
appearance, ' In some Instances the
scar or surrounding skin may be tat
tooed to blend well. In others the
scar may be cleanly excised and the
healthy skin edges approximated so
as to heal with a less conspicuous
scar. In others the defect left by ex
cision of the cicatrix or masa of
dense scar tissue la filled by suitable
skin grafts. In any case It Is a prob
lem for the reputable surgeon, and
not for the self-commended quack.
In this field there are a great many
quacks w.ho hold themselves out as
great beauty experts or plastic sur
geons, but who are actually obscure
practitioners without profes
sional standing. Licensed as physi
cians and surgeons, perhaps, but of
111 reput nevertheless. So low In re
put, indeed, that they can't get In
surance from the standard Insurance
companies, Insurance to protect them
against malpractice suits and to pay
the judgment or damages the court
might award the victim of a bung
ling Job, for Instance. Not & bad
Idea to select a surgeon who Is respon
slble, w.hen you have truck with sur
geons at all. Then, In the event
that the surgeon gets careless or
forgets to gather up all his parapher
nalia when he Is through with the
operation, you can at least have the
satisfaction of demanding a snug
sum from him by way of balm.
The reputable plastic or cosmetic
or beauty or sculptural surgeon al
ways practices under his pwn name,
never as an "Institute" or other im
personal or corporate name. If you
inquire of any reputable phy&lclan,
surgeon or specialist In the commu
nity about the man you will learn
that he Is respected by his fellows.
Not so the quack.
It Is one of the disservices of our
national medical organization, the
American Medical Association, that
we have not yet seen fit to recognize
plastic surgery as the specialty It Is.
but even If the medical profession
does not choose to recognize vie fact,
there are good competent surgeons
in thla field In every large town, and
there la no reason why anyone should
deliberately place himself or herself
at the mercy of & quack.

there are other anesthetics than

(Mrs. E. C. H.)
Answer Whether It Is kindly or
not, I can inform you there are sev

of Vie anesthetic most suitable In
a given case Is a question best left
to the Judgment of the physician.
Sulphur Dioxide
I have noticed several times where
you objected to sulphur dioxide used
as a preservative n foods. As several
things I am fond of, especially mo
lasses, contain It. I wonder If you
will explain what 111 effects It has
on health. (H. L. L.)
Ana. Sulphur dioxide (anhydride
of sulphurous acid) Is a poison. Just
how much one may consume with
impunity I cannot say. It Is unnec
essary to add any such chemical pre
servative If the food Is quite pure
and fresh and fit to eat when can
ned, dried or processed. ' The finest
brands of molasses I know contain
no sulphur dioxide.

The largest "heavy water" manu

Thla new plant starts with a

atoms are twice the wetgM of or

It la not expected to squeeze
