But he says science has already pro- duced enough facts on which to build a renais- gance, These facts, he points out, are not co- ted, and individually they are not under- by the masses on whom social action depends, He urges that some great institution, such as a university, collect and co-ordinate the gocially usable and significant findings of . science, and then translate them from the langtiage of specialists into the vernacular of "the people, and conduct an evangel to bring the people to accept tentative dogmatisms of geience in reconstructing their social system, In his work, which has' brought him con- 'stantly into touch with the public, Dr, Frank has learned the value of words. An idea means nothing to others until it is imparted to others. Words are necessary to carry a thought from gne mind to another; words which both parties understand. In biology, sociology, psychology, there is now, or is rapidly growing, a highly s1specialized vocabulary which cannot be under- ptood by the average man; the man whose mind and feelings must be enlisted if the findings of these sciences are to be put to social use. 'He is right in stressing the need for a school of scientific evangelists who will make the pub- lie conscious of what is going on in science. '. 8 "MOVIES AND ART The legitimate stage and the motion picture industry have long been at war. Until a very few years ago stage folk looked upon their brothers and sisters in the films with either Scorn or pity, assuming they were there for no other reason than that no stage jobs were open for them, Long have advocates of the spoken desma inveighed against celluloid production, Now Hollywood may well say that the last ences of the legitimate drama have fallen, David Belasco is filming "The Darling of The Gods" and Max Reinhardt is to direct a pic- ture of his own selection, Both men are lead- ers in their profession and are above the sus- : pieion of being "stranded" in Hollywood and - forced to choose between starvation or going : to work in the studios, leaving their art out- ; Bide, : With Belasco and the producer of "The Mir- dele" in the movies any member of the so-called aristocracy of the stage may seek some of the popularity dnd large rewards of movie geting 'and directing without fear of losing edste, or "suffering embarrassment, or being ostracized jiby the few stage folk who still proudly resist "ithe call of the screen. 4" If Belasco and Reinhardt can carry their skill ito the films, the motion-picture industry will the gainer and the stage will suffer during 'their absence, They will have a larger and itical audience and their art will not be the physical limitations ex- i production. : } can improve the screen if they do "mot follow the path of least resistance. The i World population, in spite of w fatalities, and 2% : be Illrancé moti of ie Foloudis sani. éhge states, among other things, that "the . Question of population growth holds possibili- ties of menace to the future of civilizati It always has been a menace and always wil for some portions of the earth, but in others has been and is too remote to be dignified by reference to it as a menace. For example, the densely settled portions of China and India are . but a relativelv small part of those countries, Even in the United States the congested cities are few and the still unpopulated plains and wilderness are vast. Canada, as all the world knows, needs population as much as she needs anything we problem is to induce the human animal to strike out into the empty places instead of huddling together in erowded areas, Enor- mous empty areas in the world are capable of supporting human life. And man can often convert the barren desert into a garden of paradise, Moreover, science is finding ways to increase the food production per acre and is creating new foods and food substitutes, It is well to study the tendencies of popula- tion and the vagaries of migration, but there is mo reason to worry over the growth of the world's population, AUTUMN WILL SOON BE HERE, "Light frost was felt here today," read dis- patches that will soon be appearing with more and more regularity. Light frost? Why that means autumn is just around the corner. In a few weeks the frost will be on the pumpkin and the hoar upon the vine, And we thought summer had scarce- ly commenced, How the seasons fly. Away last spring, summer had seemed, in prospect, such a long, pleasant period of fine weather and pleasures, In the spring one looks forward to summer with much longing, There were to be picnics, automobile trips, swimming, fishing, excur- sions to the mountains and seashore; and two weeks' vacation, So much was planned, and so little done, Now, as it draws: to a close, one realizes there were more events than dates on that summer program. When autumn comes we count the dreams of spring that have not been realized during the summer. It is so all through life. Happy times and soul-stirring seasons are just ahead. But when we come to them they are crowded and short, Though we reluctantly surrender the plea- sures and pastimes of hot summer days, we turn to autumn with cheery anticipations of cozy evenings with radio and book, motoring in the rare autumn air, evenings at the theatre, and harvest feasts, The poet, who in the spring asked "What is so rare as a day in June?" probably supplied his own answer when the fall came around. Nature makes her perfect days in September and October. Do not travelers invariably say they would exchange all the fine weather of the tropics for the days of autumn in the temper- ate zone? They are man's compensation for the dreary days of winter and the sultry days of summer, EDITORIAL NOTES They say that wealth is a burden, but those who have it seem entirely willing to bear it. It is stated that nobody knows how many laws are in force. Nor how many are enforced. If Solomon was as wise as he is reputed to have been, he kept away from the house on wash day, The saturation point in automobile ownership is less a cause for worry than the saturation of drivers. : No one has heard of a Toronto-to-Toronte hop.

Bit of Verse | AFTERWARDS I watched thee with devotion Through all these silent years, Thy least regarded motion, Thy laughter and thy tears. bY But thou, when fate would sever The visionary tie, Unconseious and forever Left me without a sigh. Yet though I needs must borrow My comfort from distress, I would give my sorrow For thy unconsciousness. ~--Dunean Campbell Scott. wr By Jos W, Bots MA (Registered in Accordance with us the: Coprrighe Act Ack, 4 Hare, 1827 esd jtosk BOUT THE GALL BLADDER Same months ago 1 attended a medical convention where an entire session was devoted to the. study of the gall bladder. Now when you remember that the gall bladder is a very small or- gan, holding but a small quantity of bile, and that the gall bladder can be removed from the body without apparent injury, you would wonder what the five speakers found to talk about in such an ap- parently un-important organ. Ope address was on the exam- ination of the gall bladder by means of the dye test and X-ray. The speaker Dr. Ewarts Graham oi St. Louis, is one of the originators of this method of examination, Then there was an address on what was found on examinatfon of the gall bladder when it was not functioning properly. An address on the treatmentsof gall bladder troubles by methods other than medicine. An address on the proper anaesthetic to use during operations, and finally an address on the surgical treatment o! gall bladder troubles. What was there that would he of help to the everyday reader? That disturbances of the gall bladder were often only a part of a general condition spoken of as indigestion, billiousness, sick headache, and attacks of nausea. That even where the gall bladder was a part of the trouble that surgical operations were ppt the first thought in treatment in many cases, as hygienic living would of ten make operations unnecessary Also that in every case of suspect ed gall bladder trouble that the dye test- and X-ray examination he made, as this gave a correct diag nosis if dome properly, in over 95 per cent. of the cases. Also tha there was practically no danger, no serious reaction from the dye test as in over one hundred thousand examinations, there had only heen one death, Also that where operation wa: fonnd to be necessary that the ad ministration of sugar and water before and after the operation, sup ported the circulation and helped dilute poisonous products in the blood. It is not to be wondered af therefore, that the treatment o' gall bladder disturbances by care ful supportive treatment before and after operation, has made thir formerly dangerous operation, com- paratively safe. WHAT om HERS SAY OFTEN THAT WAY (Kitchener Record) While lying in state in a Boston vhapel, the hodies of Sacco and Vanzetti were guarded by the blue uniform of the law which they de- fied to the last. WEDN THE ONLY WAY (New York Morning Telegraph) The plan to close **Abie's Irish Rose" and send it on tour has again been abandoned. The only way that show will end its loca' run is for someone to blow up Broadway. HIS UNCANNY ABILITY (Dearborn Independent) Bill Jenney, a 62-year-old clock- maker who for the last 39 years has been winding and tending the 1050 clocks of the Savoy hotel London, claimed many years ago that any hour or the day or night he could tell the time within half a minute. This uncanny ability baf- fles the British Medical Society, members of which have tried by numerous tests to dislodge what they call his "acute psychoastral poise. THE EXPERT MOTORIST (Washington Post) If a railroad engineer or a steamboat captain paid as little at- tention to safety devices as the ty- pical automobile owner accidents would be so common that the pub- lic would mot trust itself upon any common carrier. Yet in today's transportation scheme the automo- bile probably jis more dangerous than amy other carrier because of its ubiquity and because it is op- erated by amateurs. ONE ONLY WAY (Border Cities Star) Fear is the one language a gang- ster understands. He is not insane. He knows the full meaning of just retribution of crime. Too offen the gangsters have learned that they can laugh at punishment because of the loopholes of the law. All the psychological examinations and recommendations will not stop the bandits. The only antidote is a sure, swift justice that will visit a severe punishment upon those who are detected in crime. MOTORING ON SUNDAY (Hartford Courant) Many motorists, the more ecau- tious operators especially, believe that driving a car on Sunday is not an amusement but a hazardous oe- cupation. Statutes and ordinances have been enacted without number with mo apparent effect upon the death rate, but there is a possibili- ty that eventually the situation will be relieved as the public becomes fully aware of the danger of Sun- JVday travel.

Sixty years' labor and a sum of $6,000,000 have heen expended upan the work. A FAIR ARRANGEMEN NT (E. W. Howe's Monthly) Women say contemptuously that + man usually marries to get a cook. It is a frue ohservation, and 1 decent one. Since marriage hegan, women have known of the house- hold arrangement for the man to wocure the food, and the woman o dress it. They agree to this ar- 'angement when they accept a pro- nosal of marriage; they know it has ilways been the fair and necessary irrangement, Why do they complain ihout it so much?

Some attribute jit to a lowered roduction of automobiles, some to in over-production of oil which has essened the demand for pipe lines, ome to a Jet up in building and ome to an unexpected slackening f foreign markets. Foreign markets have not turned ut as well as many thought they vould, mainly because many hoped or too much. It was unreasonable to suppose hat Europe would continue to buy 13 much steel and other commodi- ies from us as she did during the war, yet business has persisted in lancing to that tune. Not only was Europe bound to re-enter production in every possible line, but it was a foregone conchu- sion that debt would force her to ~ompete with us for every possible yutlet more fiercely than before.

His con vietion and sentence to death wil lift the specter of fear from hund reds, perhaps thousands of people The two members of his gang whe were tried with him were given life sentences, It is not humane to take pleasure in the death or life imprisonment of any man, but it is just and right to find satisfactior in the enforcement of the law against violence and murder. | the leader of THE CITY OF LONDON (Buffalo Express) who read a recent cable reporting that the popu- lation of the City of London has decreased from 50,000 to 13,000 in the last 30 years may have rub hed their eyes over the figures wondering who or what had gone mathematically or typographieally wrong.

From the hank of the Thames it extends north to Charterhouse Square east to Middlesex sireet and west to the New Law Courts where the old gate- way of Temple Bar once marked the City's end. In population, it long has heen by far the smallest of the 28 horoughs of metropoli- tan London: So there need he no alarm over decrease of populaion in the City of London, even if all its remain- ing 13,000 inhabitants move out- side its ancient and historic limits Some dispateh, PROPER ORDER Waiter (to patron who has been kept waiting for some time)- "What is it you fish, sir?" .
