WAR A NECESSITY English Scientist Holds Man Is Not Naturally Warlike It. is part of the militaristic and Fascist creeds -that man is a fighting animal fundamentally no different from any. savage, a ereature: whose natural combativeness must find an outlet in war. Heredity being what it is, it follows that to civilized man of today war is a biological and psychological necessity. 'How sound is this logic? The world is still full of savages. They ought to exhibit all the pugnacity and, aggressiveness inseparable from a civilized nation striving by force of arms to achieve what its leaders conceive to be its manifest destiny. Dr. Gregory Bateson of St. John's College, Cambridge, England, holds that it is time for us to study the psychology of primitive, existing tribes and to discover if possible whether or not our ancestors were forever on the warpath, or, for that. matter, especially savage. The Ara- pesh of New Guinea, the Sulka, the Zuni of Mexico. are "almost entirely non-aggressive," In fact, Dr. Bate- son finds that post savage peoples have amalgamated war with their culture, so that fighting is governed by a series of rules like those ofia football game. The Zulus and the Lae Wamba of New Guinea -are among the very few savages known I FIGHT GERMS, TMVITAMIN A, Vitamins A and D, abundantly found in Scot ' Emulsion; bolster up tired, tee re bod bg restoring. vitality and. strength.

HEALTH LSTRENGTH DEPEND Scott's y { P 'farmer, and far beneath his f° . to ethnology who fight somewhat after the European fashion. Culture and Warfare From all this Dr. Bateson con- cludes that "we cannot ascribe Eu- ropean warfare directly to man's innate aggressiveness." He sees some cultural factor at work "which effectively determines whether a community shall ~ habitually - fight and what sort of fighting it shall have." How far behavior patterns are in- sherited no one knows, It is certain that our savage ancestors were both assertive and submissive. No one can tell which of these two urges, or instincts, is dominant in peace or war. Or, as Dr. Bateson puts it: "In peacetime either or both of these may be expressed in digging potatoes or in selling stocks and shares; and in the World War there were as many men whose submiss- iveness, willingness to die gamely, led them to the business of killing as there. were men whose assertive- ness led them to the business of be- ing killed." Yet Bateson is no pacifist. He thinks that children should be pro- tected from fear. "But how are we to achieve this if: we behave as if we were afraid, ourselves, of pre paring for war?" 'Electric Tickler Speeds Up Cows (London Times) The day has gone by for hitting cows yesounding thwacks on their large, plane surfaces. These relics of pastoral man are all very well in comic strips and synthetic animals films; but in real life it is beneath the dignity of the modern organized good nature, to strike these fairly dumb animals instead of making use of the latest improvements of science, The farm of tomorrow will. have no, sticks, but it will have the elec- tric tickler--for use when a cow stays overlong by a gate in pensive mood, wondering if she' is morally justified in yielding milk without a w= Does Not Blister cold on the chest apply a Mecca Poultice with the addition of mustard, The remy ae "ei phot Gu relief, | Full directions in each package. 38 Issue No. 7--'35 a SS struggle and without whether the milk will go to strength- en a charming and virtuous human being or a vile rogue. Then electricity will give its gentle but unmistakable reminder that.the world's work must be carried on, Human beings are continually roused from their reveries by elec- tricity, and there is a patent sense in which the telephone ig but an- other form of electric tickler, and so are all bells. It has been excellently observed that nothing would astonish the early Vietorians more than to have been told that a few decades would see their sons or grandsons, whatever their wealth and importance, running to answer bells, even®in the middle of their meals, like footmen; and yet the telephone has had no difficulty in thus levelling up humanity. } So there can be no question about treating cows in a derogatory man- 'ner; indeed, the electric tickler will combine many of the costly advan- tages of electric treatment, It will make them a little more spry, and taking them all in all they could do with it. Who can tell--certainly the best statistics cannot--the harm done to farming by the melancholy and vague eyes of cows? The townsman, whose vote is so numerous, is easily led into thinking farmers must be slow: witted and obstinate because they hob-nob so much with cows and sheep, whose expressions do not inspire con- fidence, If the stock farm animals had been more resolute and active in mien, the'long sacrifice of agriculture might never have been so commonly accepted. No one again can measure, though docile research students across the Atlantic will probably be sent to try, how far the new respect for agri- culture owes its rise to the new mechanization of the farm. Visitors who see dairies in which the machinery is not only compli- cated but electrical and so perhaps lethal, go away in a chastened and less -arrogant frame of mind, prepar- ed to believe that the farm has the makings of a factory and so deserves legislative encouragement and re- spect. We may expect, on the analogy of what happens elsewhere, to see the Oxford Book of English Verse call- ed in by the National Farmers' Un- ion, with censure of their Oxfordshire Branch, because of the detrimental influence of the pastoral poets--Mil- ton, himself, the townsman, is among the culpable--who have made pop: ular, through their powerful medium, a view of country life which does not inspire politicans with sufficient awe. It the countryside is allowed to look in print as a rather jolly and easy-going and slow-moving place, to which city dwellers repair to refresh their energies for their daily contests with each other, few people are like- ly to be properly preoccupied with its real needs. 3 It must be shown to be a stern a factory as any, losing no tire in roundabout or zigzag walks from field to dairy or from orchard to sty, with ¢verybody intent on his job, chewing 'the cud to the latest rhythm pattern of which psychology approves } And a beginning is being made with electric ticklers, which are now established in Germany under the auspices of the Kindness "to An- imals Movement there. These tickl ers are highly recommended for cows; but there is a discreet silence ing is a skilled calling. POWER FROM SUNLIGHT Photoelectric Cells May Make It Available To Men 'A photoelectric cell is a device that converts ordinary light directly into electricity. Let the sun pour down on a collection of cells numer ous enough, and visions arise of trolley cars driven by sunbeams, of cities with electric lamps that ra diate solar energy, of industry gear- ed to the sun, The: electrical "en- gineer may not despair of realizing such dreams, Still he is discourag- ed. An efficiency of not more than 2 per cent. in thus converting light into electricity is nothing to cheer about, Dr. O. L. Inman, director of the C. F. Kettering Foundation for the Study of Chlorophyl and Photosyn: thesis in Antioch College, regards this argument with complacency. Catarrhal Deafness May Be Overcome If you have catarrhal deafness or head noises go to your druggist and get 1 oz, Parmint (double strength) and add to it 4 pint of hot water and a little sugar, Take 1 table- spoonful four times a day. This will often bring quick relief from the Uist ressing head noises. Clogged nostrils should open, breath- ing become easy and the mucous stop dropping into the throat. It is neasy to. prepare, costs little and is pleasant to take.

Also not more than 1 or 2 per cent. All our by an exquisite piece of machin- ery, still largely a mystery, which does its work with units (leaves) each utilizing about the millionth part of a watt--not enough to drive the buzzing apparatus of a mosquito, For her own good reason Nature distributes her - photoelectric. cells over a vast area. The thousands of leaves on an oak are parts of an astonishing engineering design. If you are ever to drive the kitchen refrigerator by sunlight it will have to be with the aid of hundreds of cells spread out over a wide area. Despite the work of Baily and others in producing sugar from nothing but gas on which ultraviolet rays fall, Dr. Inman holds that we shall never be able to dispense with nature's vegetation. We need food; way of getting it is to let sunlight synthesize sugars and starches and protiens in plants. Swift was right when he pointed out in "Gulliver's Travels" that the green cucumber stores light from the sun and that the light becomes visible by burning the pickle. He might have added that if the cucumber had been fed to a firefly the sun's light would have been released in another way. Thus considered the cow is a fine solar engine as it munches grass in a mea- dow.
