She might have felt like the who, free from a long stretch at a ersby if they could direct him to a nice Armenian massacre. For the last 12 years she has been equipping stout sealers for her Arctic expeditions. She has trained herself in scientific observations and her findings are published under scientific auspices. two of her books. She surveyed a Danish government named the area woman. She dislikes publicity and has little of the histrionic sense common to explorers. So far as the reporters are concerned, she might just as well make an expedition to Flatbush. At great labor and expense it as been ascertained, however, that she takes a nice wardrobe north with her and that she always powders her nose before going on deck. She probably was trapped into these indiscreet ad- missions as she has made it clear that all this is nobody's business. Atlantic voyage gave her her big idea. One of her chief interests on her northern voyages is photog- raphy. She is the daughter of John Boyd, wealthy Californian. The old manse at San Rafael, which this writer has seen on occasion, is a would seem, none would ever wan- der, so far and so dangerously. * * * HOSE who liked Thomas Mann's “The” Coming of Democracy,” will ind in Dr. Cyrus Adler, who «<elebrated his seventy-fifth birthday just the other day, Dr. C. Adler a living statement Embodiment of of Herr Mann's Mann's Theme theme. A scholar and humanist, he has given his life to an exempli- fication of democracy as an ethical and cultural aspiration and not a political formula—which is Thomas Mann's impassioned thesis. This writer thought of that when he read the book, and spotted up Doctor Adler's birthday in the future book for attention here. He is the only president of two colleges, Dropsie college of Philadelphia and the Jewish Theological Seminary of New York, A fellow of Johns Hop- kins university, where he ob- tained his doctorate, he taught at the University of Baltimore. He has been a stanch defender of science and the humanities against bigotry and insularity through the more than half- century of his teaching, writing and speaking.

He is all for the enrichment of our intellectual life, but notes that somebody may have to ride on the running board with all this over- crowding. When Einstein began batting his hot relativity grounders this way, Doctor Birkhoff was one of the few men in America who could field them. He is a pro- lifie writer in the overlapping zone of mathematics and phil- osophy, one of the most heavily garlanded men in the scholastic world, a distinguished Catholic layman holding high papal hon- ors for scholarship.

The man who had tossed it told his wife at home: in the world this morning. Didn't care for anybody or anything except to hog an orange himself.” Business took that man later the same day to a pitifully poor room. On a cot in the corner a little girl's cheeks flamed with fever and her body was wasted with suffering. The door flew open. In bolted that little chap, the “meanest boy in the (Copyright, WX UU) world.” Breathless with running, he tiptoed up to his sister's bed and whispered excitedly, ““Here’s an or- ange | brung ye, Sis; fought for it ‘cause | thought ye'd like it.” How her eyes sparkled! Tiny hands reached eagerly for it. Parched little lips craved the refreshment it offered. The man went home, sat long slumped in his chair. Then he called his wife and with shame and regret struggling in his voice blurted out: “You've married the meanest man that ever lived. That little shaver I told you about, the one I said was the meanest boy in the world, fought for my orange to take to his sick sister and I'm lookin’ for somebody to kick me round the block!" He didn’t know the whole story before he sat in judgment; that's all | I ONLY SAID WE WOULD LIVE AT THE OLD MANSE ! Flimsy Evidence A big bishop spoke rather caus- tically and disparagingly about a woman in public life who traveled the nation and who had an excep tional salary. “Why doesn’t she wear better clothes?” he asked, “same ¢ld things season in and out; that hat certainly’'s been on the road winter and summer two solid years." It had. She knew it better than the bishop. But he just didn't know that her money was spent in- stead for nurses and comforts for her sick father whom she adored. What did a new hat matter if father needed what the cost of a hat could provide? Just judging on flimsy evidence! For months two people dodged each other. Each knew the other MANSE By J. Millar Watt was haughty, unapproachable, cold and undesirable. Finally they met. Didn't want to; tried to avoid it and couldn't. Almost at once barriers began to fall. From the dislike of misunderstanding, they got proper appraisals of each other; to their surprised satisfaction, each began to enjoy, then to admire the other. For the first time they saw behind the scenes and found only what was good. Nearly always so! Case of the Railroad Man It seemed strange that the man who lived in Washington breakfast- ed ungodly early, walked four long blocks, took a street car across city, then rode the tiresome train every day to his Baltimore office. We could all have told him how much THE OLD MAN'S ! { 4 h — — — X / a © Bell Syndicate ~WNU Service 5 ) | 2 MISTER MAN, FOR THAT ANGRY LOOY, éoTo Tle Corner AND SMILE. shorter, simpler and more sensible for him to step into the bus in front of his house and out at his office; most anybody would know enough to do it this easier, quicker way. Then we learned that he is of the railroad staff and it is his profes- sional responsibility to take the train. Buses weren't his line. Trains were! We sat in judgment without knowing what we were talk- ing about. So easy to turn our imaginations easy to see what isn’t there; to misunderstand and misinterpret; to see the little lad fighting for an or- boy in the world”; critical instead of kind; human threads that need straight- ening, not snarling, and thus to spoil many a lovely pattern of life. A world of saving wisdom abides in the old philosophy that reveals ‘““there’s so much good in the worst of us and so much bad in the best ‘of us that it scarcely behooves any | of us to say things against the rest of us.” Just another way of sug- gesting that it's better all around to “judge not.” It keeps things from boomeranging on us!
