(Charles Wesley Flint was born in Stouffville, Ont., Can.., in 18783. He studied at various universities in Canada and the United States, and also attended the Drew Theological seminary, being ordained to the Methodist ..Episcopal ministry. Dr. Flint first served as pastor of various churches but switched to the educa-- tional field and in 1915 became pres-- ident of Cornell college at Mt. Ver-- non, Ia.. where he remained until 1922. He has been chancellor of Syracuse university since 1922.) With scientific processes sweeping with accelerating momentum into a super--science field, and scientists, philosophers and men of affairs scan-- ning the horizon for its renaissance, there should be little question re-- garding the reality of what is called the "spiritual." Like many chemical substances, the spiritual is never found by us in a pure state, alWways and only in combination, admixed with humanity, and never wholly free from myth and magic, ritual or Ne symbol, poetry or extravagance. Realizing the spiritual . will give meaning and zest to life. A most pathetic excrescence of the intellec-- tual world *tZd4ay is the disease, cyn-- icism, the alt of spiritual maluu-- trition t floundering souls who, no matte® w sucéessful in master-- ing physical, social or mental sciences, have not found the key to mastery of self and its world; who, no matter how skillfully they relate fact to fact, have not related <themselves harmoniously to life itself. ; Only a realization in some form. personal or ideal, of the beautiful, the true, the good as more lovely and lovable, can save us from the low level of the appetites of the ani-- mal or the more subtle selfishness of the social whirl. Only the inner conviction, born of the free, conscious flow of the. spir-- itual in our souls can save us in these days when externalities in daw, convention or regulation --are tram-- pled under foot, Was not this in-- wardness of control a message of Jesus? ' in--this period of revolt against the impotent traditionalism and conven-- tionality of institutionalized religion. The one source of real assurance that life is worth living, is in realiz-- ing that this natural world is but the external staging of a many-- storied universe in which spiritual forces have the last word and are eternal. .

The matter of drinking or being on the water wagon was as unimportant in the run of life than as the choice of tea or coffee for lunch Even in But with the triumph of prohibi-- tion, booze jumped from a matter of small moment to a monster 'of im-- portance. Liquor began to bhe served commonly in business offices and homes. It was no longer a stag af-- fair; more and more. nice wom»n were g@rinking. There was everlast-- ing talk about how and where to get it and how much it cost. Abstinence aroused irritating comment, intoxi-- cation became fashionable. A drunk-- en woman was even funnic drunken man. But now passing out on a party doesn't get the laugh it wa'? good for two or three years ago and there is a marked diminution in office drink-- ing, the article observes. Not even prohibition can make us a nation of grunkards. Business, the natural and most powerful foe of harm{ul:--drink-- ing, is beginning to frown.

W. Straus & Co. This is approxi-- mately an 8 per cent gain over the population of the same. dht::tct a year ago. which is estimated to have been 1,223,700. Taking the population of Chicago as 3,500,496, the population of the metropolitan area of Chicago would be 4,822,092. These estimates are based on population figures furnish-- ed by public officials, such as mayors, presidents or chairmen of the village boards or estimates prepared by check on banks, local suburban news-- papers, chambers of commerce or business men in the respective towns. The Chicago population was esti-- mated on the basis of 3,241,200 resi-- dents last year with an added gain of 8 per cent, a percentage which may be taken as conservative for the ac-- cepted step--up in population for the last several years' increase has been at 10 per cent. Eighty--nine suburbs made reports in this survey. It was on the basis of these reports that estimates were made for the total suburban area. The Straus figures for the 89 sub-- urbs reporting were 1,155,853 as of July 1, this year while the estimated populatio® of these same suburbs as of July 1, 1927, was 1,066,036. Of the larger suburbs percentages of gain in population were as fol-- lows: Aurora 5 per cent, Cicero 3 per cent, East Chicago 9 per cent, Elgin 4 per cent, Evanston 3 per cent, Gary 14 per cent, Hammond 11 per cent.
