IfEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1933 PAGE FIVE Nobel Prize Winner Says Inability to Prove Belief Correct Not Necessary Nature's Aim Astounds CHICAGO, Dec. 37. (AP) Dr. Ar thur H. Compton of the University of Chicago, chooses a dlestio view of tha intelligence and order of the world. m. The rioted student of the cosmic VTfty and Nobel prize winner In physics in 1927, takes the position that "faith In God may be a thoroughly scien tific attitude, even though we may be unable to establish the correctness of our belief." Dr. Compton expressed himself In an authorized Interview. Plausible Claim. "Science," he said, "can have no quarrel with a religion which postu lates a God to whom men are as his children. Not that science In any way shows such a relationship if a religion which makes such an as sumption does not have its own evi dence It should not look to science but the evidence of an Intelligent power working in the world which science offers does make such a pos tulate plausible. "It Is thus possible to see the whole great drama of evolution as moving toward the goal of personality, the making of persons, with free, Intelli gent wills, capable of learning na ture's laws, of glimpsing God's pur pose In nature and of sharing that purpose. Nature Inspires. "It Is an inspiring setting in which we thus find ourselves. As we recog- nize the greatness of the program of nature which la unfolding before us we feel that we are part of a great enterprise In which some mighty intelligence Is working out a hidden plan. "Indeed, God has placed us in a position to help in furthering His program. For do we not hold in our hands and control the conditions of vegetable and animal life on this planet and to some extent, human life?" CHICAGO, Dec. 27. (AP) A fear of not being normal Is what makes girls "boy crazy Dr. Karen Horney ays she believes. Dr. Horney, who U associate di rector of the Institute for Psycho analysis, gave this conclusion In the Institute's annual report, made pub lic today. Thirteen "boy crazy" glrle were studied. "They reach out," the doctor said, for love, not because the other sex la attractive to them, but because the adoration of a man serves to reas sure them and alleviate their fear of not being 'normal.' This fear mani fests itself In a fear of not being able to have a child and In a general sense of Insecurity." The Insecurity of "boy crazy" girls, the physician said, expresses Itself In a conviction that they are not at tractive, although they may be beau tiful girls, THE COOPERS HAPPY NEWLYWEDS LONDON. ( UP ) Scotch whisky distillers are not so optimistic as they were as to the probability of huge orders from the United States. Large numbers of Inquiries have Inundated the liquor firms here, r. but few orders have been placed, according to one prominent repre sentative of the trade. The avalanche of communications from the United States chiefly has been from people who want to be come American agents for Scotch whisky, or from others who want to book orders on payment of a 20 per cent deposit, this authority states. Many of the Inquiries came from bootleggers. It was Indicated, al though a number of Glasgow ex porting firms have received permits which will enable them to export im mediately about 100,000 gallons of spirits for medicinal purposes only. Of this amount, 25,000 gallons must brandy. In view of the American prefer ence for rye whisky, liquor dealers do not anticipate any tremendous In roads on British stocks of Scotch. & . .- .SAt . .

Six weeks of the winter it was necessary to desert the wagon to go horseback with the mall In the saddle bags. In the summer the same territory was often covered with a bicycle. During all the five years he carried the mail, he never used any thing "fancier" than a two-wheeled cart, drawn by two horses, for the winter. While he was covering the Medford route the late Jim Grieve was taking the mall over R. P. D. No. 1, Central Point, which was esbllshed th fol lowing October. Mnny Still Patrons.

They are the most useful and, at the same time, the most delicate parts of your body. To last through your lifetime you must guard them carefully and give them constant protec tion. To strain the eyes now is to lessen their usefulness to you later in life. Your eyes were made for outdoor seeing. Modern civilization puts a tremendous extra burden upon them. Good light is necessary for proper teeing. Wher ever there is poor light, eyestrain is sure to oc cur. Look to your lighting if you would keep the priceless treasure of good eye-sight for your family and yourself. How to Avoid Eyestrain GOOD LIGHTING Restful Light does not necessarily mean a lot of light. Eyestrain can be caused by glare as well as gloom. To protect the eyes from glare, all lamps should be properly shaded. With properly shaded lamps, excessive brilliancy, sharp contrasts and deep shadows are eliminated. Light, to be most useful, should be well diffused. How to Improve Your Lighting EVERY time you turn on a light, you are purchasing lighting serv ice. The difference between good and bad lighting often amounts to only a few cents a day. But in order to secure good lighting, proper fixtures and floor lamps are necessary. Our one purpose is to give you the greatest possible benefit from the electric serv ice you pay for. We are prepared to help you with your lighting problems.
