paper to readers in all kinds of
weather. Three men are also em
ployed to deliver the paper but
the women have the longest and
toughest routes.

they must be good ones, accord
ing to Miss Theresa Helburn, ex
ecutive director of the Theater
Guild. Miss Helburn thinks the
reason women do not shine as
playwrights is because they are
more interested in romance than
in play ideas. However, she has
hopes that the younger genera
tion will provide a really good
playwright of the gentler sex.
The
FAMILY DOCTOR
(By John Joseph Gaines, M. D.)
WORRY IS DANGEROUS
One of the most dangerous in
fluences seems to be abroad in
these strenuous days, and it is
growing as our cares increase. I
can think of nothing quite so
harmful to human well-being as
WORRY.
Both worry and happiness are
states of mind; but the latter is
the thing most sought for; men
will toil, strive, and wreck mind
and body in pursuit of that elu
sive phantom Happiness. It
seems paradoxical for a man to
worry himself insane, in his quest
of bliss.
The patient that I really, down
in my heart, dread to meet—is the
victim of self-induced worry. I
know of no drug that will help
him, and, too frequently, good ad
vice slides off him like water off
a duck's back. Some, indeed, seem
to me to find a sort of suicidal
gratification in worry over things
that are often not worth crying
about.
The man who lies awake nights
grows thin, disagreeable, and hard
to get along with, will soon devel
op a hyperacid stomack and very
aggravating indigestion. Then he
consults the doctor. I have traced
many a case of acidosis to plain
old-fashioned work. It will most
certainly undermine the constitu
tion if persisted in.
"Having food and raiment be
ye therewith CONTENT." What a
prescription that is! Unfailing in
results too. A contented life is a
happy life. It's wise to work
while the sun shines, for the
rainy day is quite certain to come.
But there is no sense in tearing
one's system down in a struggle
for so-called happiness, which is
after all illusory in many cases;
simple contentment will turn the
trick quicker and better than a
cart-load of bromide. Pardon me
for writing things that can be un
derstood.
BOOSTING BUSINESS
A juror was being questioned
as to his eligibility in a certain
murder case.
"Do you believe in capital pun
ishment?" asked the prosecuting
attorney.
"Yes, and by electric current,"
answered the Juror.
"What business are you in?"
the attorney asked.
"I work for the electric light
company.''
"You're excused."

ENGINEERS . facte vs. theories
Dr. Karl T. "Compton, president
of the Massachusetts Institute "of
Technology, says the nation would
be better off if control of indus
try and of government were In
the hands of engineers rather
than of bankers and lawyers.
I agree with Dr. Compton that
an industry run by engineers is
more likely to serve society than
is one rim by and for bankers. I
have seen some great enterprises
fall because the emphasis was
placed on profits rather than on
quality of the product. I have
seen others succeed greatly be
cause all of the intelligence and
effort was devoted to making
things as well as they could be
made and selling them as cheap
ly as they could be sold.
In the long run, it is facts, not
theories, which control the pro
gress and destinies of nations.
! Engineers deal in facts. That is
seldom true of politicians.

EDUCATION . . . criticism
It is a good sign that so many
people are coming out with criti
cisms of our educational systems
and methods. Everything which
affects the public welfare needs
to be challenged every so often.
If it can't stand up under scru
tiny, it should be reformed or
abolished.
The latest criticism of Ameri
can educational methods is that
we have followed too blindly the
European tradition that educa
tion is intended to create a su
perior culture which only a few
can acquire. I have long believ
ed that one of the failings of
American schools is that they
tend to impose upon youthful
minds the idea that education
has no relation to the realities of
life.
There is only one educational
purpose which justifies taxing the
whole people for it. That pur
pose is to enable those who get
an education to understand life,
not a different kind of life but the
life of their environment and up
bringing, and as to fit more eas
ily into the actual life of their
people and their times.

FEVER . . . new cures found
Several years ago I was lunch
ing at Schenectady with Dr. Wil
! lis R. Whitney, who told me that
he had just discovered in the Gen
eral Electric laboratory that very
short radio waves passing through
the body would set up a fever,
which ceased when the waves
stopped. "It has Interesting possi
bilities," he said, "and we're hav
ing some medical experts look in
to it."
Out of that accidental discov
ery has grown an entirely new
medical technique for the treat
ment of many diseases. Physic
ians had discovered that malarial
fever would cure certain types of
insanity, but malaria itself was
nothing to fool with. Now they
are using the short radio waves
to set up artificial fevers and I
saw a report recently of successful
cures of arthritis, asthma and
even more serious diseases by this
method.

FLYING . trans-Atlantic service
Just as everything seemed all
set for the early starting of a
trans-Atlantic air mail and pas
senger plane service, a dispute
has arisen between British and
American interests as to whether
New York or Montreal should be
the terminal at this end. No mat
ter how that is settled, however,
there will be a new air service
across the Atlantic this year.
N Our own trans-Pacific flying
clippers are running on schedule
and one" can fly to China in five
days from San Francisco. Now
one of them is pioneering the fly
ing route to Australia, by way of
Samoa. Flying to South America
has become a commonplace.

MASONRY . . here and abroad
Two news items in the same pa
per caught my eye. One was the
announcement of the celebration
of the 200 th anniversary of the
celebration of the New York
Orange Lodge of Free and Accept
ed Masons, with a ceremony in a
New York city church. The other
was a dispatch from Bucharest
saying that armed soldiers had
been posted In front of every Ma
sonic Lodge quarters in Rou
manla, as a means of enforcing
the government's decree for the
dissolution of Masonic organiza
tions.
The reason a highly respected
and useful institution is exalted
in America and suppressed in part
of Europe is, chiefly, that some
European Masonic organizations
have taken an active part in poli
tics in opposition to the govern
ment now in power, while Amer
ican kfreeraasonry has never been
a political organization, although
for a while, in the 1820's, there
Freemasonry sets up a code of
moral principles by which its
members may rule and order
their Individual lives. And the
haters of tyranny who led the
American Colonies in the Revolu
tion, from George Washington
down, were mostly Masons.
