There la, flt course, no answer to the question - Your guess is as good as the guess of the next man. If you are a reader of middle age, you have a general idea as to what sciencs - has done for and to the world In your day. If you are \ young reader, the_world will be vastlf changed before you take your departure. If yott are a discriminating reader and do some of youf own thinking, you doubtless have your own ideal as to whether our Twentieth century civilization * Is top complex to be altogether sane and safi^| And all of us can indulge in interesting specul&» tlons as to what science will do to us In the half-century. Marconi, whose fame rests on aolld achlevfe» ment, cannot bo called visionary. Yet he said r* cently: Science vtQ transform the world within fifty years. Life on (III planet will be so changed th$t we who are'here now would have difficulty inrecognlzing It. Until the end of time, Inventions and discovery will shower benefits upon the humali race at a constantly Increasing speed. I see a ceiww tain danger to the world In this great progress* The conditions of life will be made so easy that ^ If people are not careful they will deteriorate. And as this is being written Marconi comes tat'v the front with the announcement that he has flna|» ^ iy succeeded in harnessing the waves set In motion by radio energy. That is, the Inventor of wlrelesg' communication can concentrate and direct thesp electrical waves much as light is controlled anft . directed in a searchlight. He can send these ele<^ . trlcal waves in a straight line from one station tf^^J another. This discovery la likely to revolutionist i wireless.

It is well known what the automobile has done for us. Per contra, the loss of life is appalling. Los Angeles has just figured out that tha economic loss to the city from motor Vehicle accidents In 1923 was nearly $4,000,000. The moving picture has come to be the chief amusement of millions. Says Kay O. Wyland of New York, boy scout national educational director: Our attachment to weak, sloppy and sentimental art and literature and the false Ideals of life presented to millions of people every day by ths movlea, constitutes a menace to our national life In tha{ it oreates friction between the classes and warps the young person's conception of what is noble. .TV Chips off tte OU Block M JUNIORS--Utti* Nts One-third the regular doae.

This discovery may increase the horrors of modern warfare. There are fearful possibilities. If exoesslvely high power were put behind one of the radio beams and directed at a powder maga» sine. ' Marconi's two notes of alarm bring us logically, to the second question: Is science to prove man's salvation or is It a Frankenstein? Just what is a Frankenstein? The word has come to mean a man-made monster that turns upon Its creator and rends him. "Frankenstein" is the title of a romance, published In 1818, by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, the second wife of. Percy Bysshe Shelley, the poet The book is named for the hero of the tale, who created a monster. The story Is related by a young student, who creates a monstrous being from materials gathered from the grave and the dissecting room. When the creature Is complete, with bones, muscles and skin. It acquires lite. Thereupon It commits atrocious crimes. It murders a friend df the student and strangles his bride. The monstqr finally comes to an end In the north seas. John Galsworthy, noted British man of letters, voiced the fears of millions when he addressed a ptfinphlet to scientists, calling on them to save the human race from the threat of destruction by the new chemical and phystcal warfare. His idea Is that science has become a "monster which threatens to" devour us." Scientists of the world are stirred up over the accusation. Opinions are as wide apart as the poles. Sir Richard Gregory predicts the destruction of mankind from unchecked development of scientific warfare. Dr. Ralph H. McKee of Columbia university, says that chemistry will shorten future wars and make the# more humane. On only one point do the scientists agree: Galsworthy's plan is Impracticable because of the Impossibility of controlling nations or persons bent on making poisons for war purposes. Says Mr William H. Bragg, an X-ray expert: » Galsworthy's scheme la perfectly impossible. Yfe always will have bad men trying to use the latest discoveries of acience for purposes subversive td' the good of mankind. The only result of Galsworthy's scheme would be that food scientists would b* prevented from continuing their Investigations and maklnjr new discoveries. while bad man would keep on working Ju*t as before. An even worse feature of the situation lies In the fact that these deadly Inventions have usually come about In the course of researches by scientists working for the good of mankind. Poisoa gases, tor example, are the by-products of researches into industrial chemistry. The deadliest thing on earth, the poison of the botullnus bacillus, was discovered by a blologlsteworking to sav* lives. So It requires no great Imagination to picture the super-figure of the next World war as a man ll^a white Jacket bent over a microscope and an ideal plague parasite for Use wiping out of civilian populations. The total destruction of life Is held by 81r Richard Gregory to be a possibility of the future through the development of means of tapping atomic energy and its application to waf. Ha aays: ' We are on tba threshold of development* Tsy wtxicti forces and unlooked-for powers will ba acquired far beyond what has hitherto bean known to man. If the gifts of science are misused man * will disappear from the earth. iSlr Oliver Lodge agrees with Sir Richard, but - thinks radio promises more immediate results. He s*y": ^ ^ Another Improvement Is to be expected In ths attainment of greater power of control over distant things like airplanes, steamships or other self-propelled bodies by wifeless by people at a distance. Some of the future engines of war predicted by Prof. A, M. Low Include thtae: Jets of water charged with electricity to kill horses and men. Tanks under "radio control. The projection of heat by radio In given direction, blasting large areaa. A combined tank-submarlne-alrplane capable of flying, running on land, cruising on the surfaoa of "Water and diving and cruising below, f EQlclaat Incendiary bullets continually starting . now Urea. •' • Some of the recent progress along straight military lines is reveuled by Col. Jnuies L. Walsh, Chief of the New York ordnance district, who announces that a bomb has been perfected weighing 4,000 pounds and making craters 190 feet across and 70 feet deep. He says: Our own ordnance department has designed a 76 millimeter gun with twice the range of the French .75 In 19K. * Newly perfected automatic Shoulder rifles bid fair to replace the m&gaslne rllle of the World War days. The .60 caliber super- . machine gun recently developed shoots a bullet weighing four times that of the Browning .30 and . Iihrows It nearly three times aa far. „ Prof. Charles Stanley Gibson, who, during the far wns one of the chief advisers to the British Uinlstry of Munitions on chemical warfare, says: Gas in the next war will be far more deadly than in the last and the best chance for peace Is that tills weapon will be so frightful that nntlons Will be deterred from going to war. As to Galsworthy's plea, t believe any restrictions on Slentlflc research are detrimental to the best lnrests of mankind. If you limit the scientist's freedom, you handicap the man who has originated most of the oomfo~ts and conveniences of civilised life. . Another class of observers of our modern dvllikatlon and commentations thereon bring a ipore Comprehensive indictment against science. &ays Rev. Hugh L. McMenamln, bitterly sarcastic: What does it matter if we cannot point to a llichelangelo, a Dante, a Momart, a Caesar Franck or a Beethoven, whan we have Ford and Rockefeller? Or lacking Athens and the Parthenon, why should we mourn them when we have the smokestacks of Pittsburgh and the anvils of Da- • troitT .. Charles Henry Dickinson, -In "The Religion of . the Social Passion," has a chapter on "Ths Im- •weDse Antagonist." . It is a challenging exposition of the perils which lie in the seductive Influences of this age of physical science. With full and generous tribute to all that science has wrought for men; with clear recognition that it must continue to do Its mighty work in the world, the author warns against the danger of permitting It to assume that it can Interpret life In terms of the physical, that It can etplain the human without reference to the spiritual. In our time he sees a lessening possibility that the physical may overwhelm us by the sheer Weight of a brutal materialism, but a very real Yet It Is unthinkable--<ths idea of filtering sdentiflq research. Aa Prof, J. Arthur Thomson eloquently says: The story of the triumphs of aiodsrn^scUno* Is one of which man may well be proud. Science reads the secret of the distant star and anatomises the atom; foretells the date of the comet's return, and predicts the kinds of chickens that will hatch .from a dozen eggs; discovers the laws of the wind that bloweth where It llsteth and reduces to order the disorder of disease. Science is always setting forth on Columbus voyages, discovering new worlds and conquering them by understanding. For knowledge means foresight, and foresight means power. The pictures' used herewith give a glimpse--a hint--a mere suggestion to set the imagination Vorklng--of the manifold activities of our Twentieth century science. The cartojfti-like photograph represents a skyrocket airplane Invented and patented away back In 1840 by Charles Gollghtly, an Englishman well named, who was confident ho could, by the use of compressed air, reach ths moon. An American scientist has announced that he will start a rocket toward the moon this year. Its initial momentum is maintained by successive discharges. Dr. Phillips Thomas, Westlnghouse research engineer, is shown using his new "ultra-uudlblft microphone." By ita use Sounds Inaudible to ths human ear can be studied. -He is "listening" to a caterpillar. l^aude Adams, the famous American actreMi, has been .in retirement for five years, during which she has been working In laboratories of the General Electric company and the Eastman Kodak company. She now announces the discovery of a new light ray, by which she can show motion pictures in a theater fully Illuminated. It will be used In the production of "Aladdin," ths scenario of which Is partly her work. The duk*e of Sutherland, secretary of air for Great Britain, recently visited the United States In search of information. He is looking at a new high-altitude camera Invented t>y Sherman M. Fairchlld in co-operation with the photographic division of th4 United States army. This instrument will take clear photographs from a height at five miles. Dr. Francis C. Wood, director of the Crocker Institute of Cancer Research at Columbia university, is shown with a new X-ray tube which radiates more curative rays and by Its use treatment of patients Is reduced from two hours to twenty minutes. It was constructed by Dr. C. T. Ulrey, research engineer for the Westlnghouse ""Lamp company. Elizabeth Mackay of New York wanted a Palm Beach coat of tan In Fehruary and found it Inconvenient to go to Florida. So Karl Weaver, a Westlnghouse expert, put her under the rays of a 25,000-candle-power electric lamp. There Is no activity of life, apparently, which science does not touch. Five of the most prominent women of the United States have sent out a message to the housewives of America, asking them to promote in every possible way ths study of chemistry for use in the home. The General Federation of Women's Clubs, with a nation-wide membership of 2,800,000, is conducting a campaign, in charge of Mrs. John D. Sherman. chairman of the department of applied edncatlon, for the teaching of natural science and 1 nature study In the public schools, so that the rising generation may be fitted to deal with problems of conservation--which means use without abuse--of tfUr natural resources. Era of Good Feeling • In American political history the two administrations of President Monroe, up to the time of the campaign for his successor, 1817-1824, was known as the era." of good feeling. There were practically no Issues and but one party, Monroe being unanimously reelected in 1820 except for the personal whim of one elector. £•!*> Carbollaalve qnlrklT Relieves and healB burning, itching and torturing akin diseases.

M & DUTCH MASTERS CIGAR E£SE5£5EEEEE*^| APPLES BREATHE IN STORAGE Apples breathe and use up air in storage, just the same as human beings do, though very slowly, says the Pennsylvania department of agriculture, In a notice issued giving Instructions for the proper method of winter apple storage. It is just as important, says the department, for an apple to have a ehange of air as it is for a sleeping bah* In a closed room. If this Cralt is to keep property, specialists In the bureau of plant Industry point out, three chief points must be kept In mind--temperature, ventilation and air moisture. The temperature should be brought close td the freezing point and kept there. High temperature-- above 40 degrees Fahrenheit--causes too rapid a loss of moisture and encourages rot. A system of storage which provides for changing the air, by ths arrangement of crates, raised floors, slatted partitions, or other methods, will make a vast difference In the condition of the fruit after a few months' storage. As to air moisture, If the fruit is kept In too dry an air, the apples will lose water rapidly and shrivel If too moist, they are apt to rot. * Adjustable See-Saw Children of all ages can empjgp a see-saw designed by an Eastern man, for Jt can be adjusted to any height nmetud Baseball Uniform -'•: The old "Chlcagos," who were famous in the early eighties, wen known for startling uniforms.
