That's what the artist was told to draw. That's what he has drawn. It's an old picture. Doubtless it has been drawn untold times on untold New Tears' Days. Yet it Is a telling sort of picture. The traveler In a flat country may be cMirmed by its beauty, but after a while he ceases to expect anything except a continuation of that beauty. In a rolling country his interest quickens as he approaches the top of a rise until experience has taught him that nothing out of the ordinary will meet his eye. But in a country of high ridges his imagination persists in painting the landscape on the other side as something new. Among the mountains the temptation to see what the next valley contains is always strong. Traveling through life Is much the same. In prosait times andi out of touch with the news of' the day, man loses much of his curiosity about the future and concerns himself largely with his Immediate environment. But in these latter days there are no prosaic times; history Is making so fast that we do hot appreciate the changes. And nobody is otit of • touch with the news. Telegraph, telephone, news- * paper and radio thrust the news of the world before us almost the instant it happens. Not only are great things taking place but the news of them • Is spread everywhere. The news sheet without a sensation is a disappointment; it must have first page staring headlines to gain our favor. So the New Year of 1925 must step lively to ' keep with the pace set by 1924. And It finds- a world expectant of great things and eager to press on to the top of the next high ridge "for to see." XTES; history is in the making all over the world I in 1925--from Cape Town, Peking, Tokyo. Ottawa and Washington to London. Paris, Berlin. Geneva and Leningrad. Will the far-flung British empire stand Jgitact or will its English-speaking dominions unite with the United States in a new Pacific ocean alliance--the White against the Yellow? Will Japan continue to maneuver diplomatically behind its Inscrutable oriental mask or will It show Its teeth? Will Germany accept Its fat# and settle down to Its dreary work of reparation? Will France calm down and do teamwork with the rest of Europe? When will Europe show that it Intends to pay its World war debts by making a beginning of payment? As to the League of Nations and the Geneva protocol: Will the disarmament conference summoned for June lapse because enough nations do not ratify It by May? Will the protocol itself lupse because that conference fails to arrange for the limitation of armaments? And will the United States call a conference of its own? Will the civil war in China fight itself out or will it Involve other nations? How long before there Is an explosion In Rnssia, with Its anti- Trotsky movement and Its growing war between classes? Is the new flare-up in Egypt to result |n European complications? Interesting and momentous questions these, and questions that press for an answer. The New Year will not see all o# tttetn answered, of course. But It may see some of them answered. And It Is often the unexpected that happens. NOBODY can say Just what It will be, of course, but 1925 Is extremely likely to see something new in the way of a scientific discovery that will make tbe world sit up and take notice. Scientists all over the world are working on specific momentous problems that seem all but solved. Moraover, the world Is literally full of scientists engaged in pure research, without thought of utility. The Importance of this is seen in the fact that utility steps in where pure research leaves off. Thus Hertdan waves, discovered through pure research, have become radio; Pasteur's bacilli have brought about the end of yellow fever; Faraday's electromagnets have become dynamos and tain* graphs. The New Year Is therefore full of promise. We may see on the market a French device which will bring about the death and funeral of the gearshift and differential in automobiles. The radio has now been set at work exploring underground for oil, gas, water and gold. The financial world Is Just a bit disturbed over the announcement of a German scientist that he has made gold from quicksilver, although at a prohibitive cost. The astronomers have discovered a new planet closer to the earth than Is Mars. They also announce that the spiral nebulae in the heavens are In reality stellar systems, so distant that their light traveling at 186,000 miles a second takes a million years to reach us. A new microscope has been made that magnifies 000,000,000 times, rs compared with the 300.000 times of present instruments ; If a tennis ball could be viewed through the new microscope It would appear about a mile and a half in diameter. And sometime during the New Year, according the Berlin inventor, Anton Flettner, the new rotarship under power furnished by Its wind-drlv- - en revolving funnels will come triumphantly into New York harbor. AN rt THE United States 1925 will see a new Pre* be sure the President Is the same Calvin Coolldge. But he will be President in his own right--which it likely to make a difference. Of course Mr. Coolldge is not going to rock the b«at because of that. And there will be a new presiding officer of the senate--"Hell Maria" Dawea, who can be as suave and parliamentary and diplomatic as anyone, when he wants to be. And It will he fun to see him and Senator Smith Wlldman Brook hart of Iowa--If the latter succeeds In holding his seat against the contest to be made by Steck. The house will see a new speaker; Madden of Illinois Is an active candidate for the place and at this writing Longworth of Ohio a receptive candidate. The familiar figure of Henry Cabot Lodge will be missing from the senate; the new Republican leader may be Butler of Massachusetts, Curtis of Kansas, Watson of Indiana or Borah of Idaho. Will the hew senate discipline LaFollette and keep him in the Republican party or will It read him out? That's what nobody can say at this writing. But the new congress is quite likely to let the railroads alone. And one thing Is sure--it will fee an economical congress, if U -pajra attention to ' tbe man In the White House. ' «- • - -j> IF THE lot of the farmer ts not 'ttllffe in 1925, it will not be because we do not know what ails him. The administration is putting agriculture first In Its program of constructive effort. The President has appointed a commission Of capable men and has told them to get the facts in the situation If It takes all winter. They'll get the facts. And with our brains and our resources it'll be queer if the agricultural complications are not straightened ont. It looks slso as If we may have an adequate forestry policy. The National Conference of Utilization of Forest Products, a thousand delegates Strong, has beet* getting the facts in our forestry ;; Situation. They were told by the President that 745,000.000,000 cubic feet of timber is still standing, with an annual cut of 25.000,000.000 and an annual growth of 0,000,060,000. He also told them that we hold the natural resources as a trust, to be used for t'ne benefit of the present generation but neither wasted nor destroyed. The coming generations also have a vested interest In the forests. So it's up to the experts to devise ways and means to bridge the "fatal gap between cut and 'growth." And it looks as if the people were scared enough over the situation to insist that it be done. In any event the timber shortage Is already acute enough to force competition in better methods. Kartti Carolina have refused to ratify, states' rights being the determining issue. Massachusetts, which next meets in 1926, did not act In 1924, but the people rejected the amendment in a referendum. The General Federation of Women's Clubs and most organisations of worn*# are working for the amendment. The American Federation of Labor Is carrying on an ictlve campaign for Its ratification. The National grange is as squarely against the amendment. The A. F. L. attitude is this: "It Is not only for economic reasons that the citizenship of our country Is urged to ratify the proposed amendment to the Constitution. It is one of the highest duties of the men and women of our time to safeguard the efiftdhood of Amerl- . . OTTCRESTINO mile poat* tn woman's march t<> full citizenship will be reached In 1925 when women" are seen as governors of the states of Wyoming and Texas. It Is a fact, of course, that In many of the states women do not stand in exact equality with men before the law This due to two things; Old laws that discriminate against her and new laws that give her special privileges because of her sex. The women leaders have split Into two camps on this Issue. Both camps want new legislation. The League of Women Voters, is campaigning to secure action through the state legislatures, thus retaining special privileges already granted. The National Woman's Party would have an amendment to the Constitution giving exact equality before tbe law, regardless of existing laws. The Texas election apparently settled one vexed question. A legal battle was waged against the eligibility of the woman candidate on the ground that women were not qualified, in the absence of special enabling legislation, to hold the office of governor, the law Invariably using the pronoun "he" instead of the qualifying phrase, "he or she." How about the poll tax that obtains In many states? In New Hampshire a woman went to Jail as a public protest ^gainst the payment of this tax. Unfortunately a sympathetic--or unsympathetic-- friend* paid the tax, so there was no legal decision on the issue raised. In the meantime the United States War department has begun a study intended to give American women a recognized place In the army "in all branches of the military service in case of future emergency involving a maximum effort." That would seem to include everything from making Red Cross bandages to womanlng a machine gun. And of course everyone knows that the America'> woman can fight if she has to and will not be sat iafied untjl she has the right. THE New Year will see an increase In thie number of motor vehicles and in automobile truffle. Five million new vehicles are likely to be made and sold. There are now approximately 17,- 000,000 motor vehicles. Four million of these, more than six years old, will go to the Junk pile. Net increase, one million. The New Year will also see a corresponding Increase of the appalling slaughter of the American people--unless the nation bestirs itself quickly and vigorously. In 1923 the loss from traffic accidents was 22,600 human lives, 678,000 serious personal Injuries and an economic loss of $600,000,000. The year 1924 saw about 24,000 fatal accidents; 1925 will probably make a new slaughter record of about 26.000. Speeding and violation of the rules of the road are the greatest contributing factors where motor" lsts are at fault. Pedestrians cause almost U many accidents as motorists in cases where pedestrians are killed. There is an obvious necessity for systematic effort to gain accurate and complett data concerning traffic accidents, their types causes and methods of prevention. Sooner or later I mental and physical test will have to be applied U all applicants for licenses. Doubtless Inferior in telligence, slow minds and muscles and* defectlw eyesight are responsible in lftrge part. Illinois may pass a licensing law providing for mental and physical tests; such a bill will be ItK troduced in the legislature In January and pressed. Other states will probably consider similar bills.

"The number of lepers In the world Is astonishing," said Father Sargent, "but taprt aatoa Ishlng still .4* ..the that inspires wome* o* «ll ages and all type* to give their lives to attend them. • "The youngest girl I ever knew to devote her life to nursing lepers was only nineteen.

"Many «£ thena brava women waf tract leprosy themselves. They not only give up their lives, but willingly risk disfigurement and, ultimately, a terrible death." Apple-Core Philanthropy The back yard of a little St. Louis boy adjoined an orphange, from which It was separated by a high wall.
