"Laws of Nature Do Not Change With Our Temperamental Changes." By LYNN HAROLD HOUGH, Retiring Pres't Northwestern University. t A clever American once described a paradox as a truth which someone has stood on its head in order to attract attention. Gilbert Chesterton has spent most of his life standing truths and some falsehoods on their heads and the process has attracted a good deal : of attention. On the whole his influence has made for stability and steadiness, for all of his literary audacity is the expression of a ,very cautious and conservative mind. Once he was discussing a law and its relation to life. What he said can be put into one sentence. "You cannot break the law of gravitation, you can only illustrate it" The man who jumps from a high cliff, for instance, does not free himself from ' this law. Re surrenders to its inflexible action. We may not live in a new world since the war. But we do surely live in a world with a new psychology. Artificial restraints are hated and cast off. The very breath of freedom is in the air. It is a golden day for experiments. It is the period of the apotheosis of the untried. , All this means that life has freshness and vigorous incentive. The new mood may be productive of immense good. At the .same time we need to remember that the laws of nature do not change with our tem-peramental changes. And we need to remember that the wholo vast sys-te- m of uniform action in which we find ourselves moves its sure and silent way quite apart from the white caps which show their teeth on the sur-face of our lives. .. There is a real freedom in this world of law. But it is achieved by mastering the meaning of the laws of life and bending them to our pur-os- e by our very conforming to their behests. The man who ignores the laws of nature and of life is merely court- -' ing disaster, however plausible the phrases in which he describes the dauntless freedom of the life. Freedom and law together rttake the sum of life. The wise man . understands them both and fits them into the structure of bis activity A law becomes your slave when you conform to it. The aviator has a wonderful freedom in the air. But all this free-dom is based upon the observance of law. We may take long flights in this new and wonderful day. But our machines must be built in the dosest conformity to the laws of nature and the pilot must be a man whose very audacious freedom is based on obedience.

Three mining locations in the Saw-tooth range, four miles from Sulphur in western Humboldt county, Nevada, forms the basis of a new corporation culled the Celtysburg Silver .Mining company. Although production of gasoline for the first six mouths of tins year was 13 per cent greater than for the same period of 1019, the increase in consump-tion was I!2 per cent, it is reported by the bureau of mines. Output of Nevada gold mines de-creased from $0,Gl9.KVr m 1918 to $4,. 718,000 in 1911). Montana production in 1919 aggregated $2,272,000, a de-crease over 1918, and a further reduc-tion is expected this year. The Hecla Mining company will dis-burse Its regular quarterly dividend of $150,000 on September 28, according to an announcement from the Wallace, Idaho office. This is at the rate of 15 cents a share on the issue of 1,000,000 shares. The value of the gold, silver, copper and lead production of Washington in 1919 was about .fO.IO.OOO, a decrease of $.108,000 over 1918. The 1918 pro-duction Included about $280,000 in gold, 300,000 ounces of silver, 1,321,-00- 0 pounds of lead. Iu July the Iintte and Superior Min-ing company obtuined a mill recovery of 97 per cent of the zinc content of Its ore, says the Boston News Bureau. This Is 4 per cent more than iu the preceding month and Is 3 per cent more than the monthly average for the past few months. California oil companies are now preparing to obtain large supplies of fuller's earth from Death Valley. The Associated Oil company is arranging to ship 20,000 tons yearly from Sho-shone to the refinery at Martinez, ac-cording to officials of the Tonopah & Tidewater railroad. Oil supply in the United States is more favorable than for months, nay government experts, ncordlng to. the Boston News Bureau. Production jumped sharply In June to 37,219,000 barrels, with daily average of 1,240,0.'!H, the largest ever recorded for ona month. The midyear metal review by tha geographical survey, containing re-ports of production of gold, silver, cop-per, lekd and zinc in Arizona, Colora-do, Jvevada, Montana, Oregon, Wash-ington, Utah, Idaho and Texas, makes comparisons with 1918 production ami predicts mainly continued production for 1919. As no railway cars have been ob-tainable for shipments of ore from Ku-rek- a, the Croesus mine has been driv-ing three drifts in search of new ore bodies. One of these, on the 200-foo- t level, is running west to explore the limestones adjacent to an extensive in-trusion of rhyolite that apiwurs on the Home Ticket location. The management of the Tonopah Di-vide mine announces that the shaft is now down over 970 feet, and will bo sent down to 1025 feet before cutting a station at the 100-fo- level, to cross-cut to the vein. This will give a sump for taking care of the ;nier If a flow is struck when the vein is readied by the crosscut. The output of silver from Montana In 1919 was about K!,2S0,000 ounces, valued at ?14,7(!8,0O0, a slight decrense from the record output of 1918. Ore-gon silver receipts amounted to Jl,!!2.'t ounces during the first half of lust year, but fell to only 1520 ounces dur-ing the corresponding period of this year, the loss being 80 per cent. The mining outlook In Nevada is gen-erally good with the stronger position steadily being attained by silver and 4ead and as the result of the highly favorable ore disclosures at Divide. Virginia City, Mina, and Pio-neer. Extensive development cam-paigns carried on at several of the camps such ns Ooldfleld, Eureka, M-ica, Tonopah and Virginia City prom-ise to attain results which will return long standing profits. It Is said that a rich vein of gold nas been struck near Cove Fort, twen-ty miles south of Kanosh. The gold was discovered by a crew of workmen, who were grading the state road lead-ing from Kanosh to the Sevier river valley. In the work of grading It be-came necessary to blast through a rocky ledge and when the blast was let off the gold was discovered, the main fissure of which cume to the surface right In tne center of the road. In the world-wid- e struggle for oil, discovery of a new field In eastern Wyoming, 100 miles east of Salt Creek, and four miles from the South Da-kota line, Is announced by the United Slates geographical survey. It is known as the Mule Creek field. With new equipment on the ground and a- - large tonnage' of milling and shipping ore in sight, the Nevada-Californi- a Silver Mining company prom-ises to be the next dividend dlsburser ro the great Nevada-Californi- u mineral j belt, is tha news that comes ftora To--I uopah.

Fundamental Difference Between Two Schools Concerning Human Body. By MRS. H. A. L. FISHER, Wife of British Minister of Education. Councilor Donald Clark of Tonbridge objected to mixed bathing on ' esthetic grounds. He did not think that the damsels of Tonbridge looked their best in bathing attire, and he feared lest the oversensitive youths of the city, beholding the maidens damp and disheveled, would, in conse--, quence, abjure "matrimony. No doubt there are many people who only admire the human form when it is furthest removed from nature. But, after all, they do not represent the best or the most prominent view. It is net really on esthetic grounds that opposition to mjxed bathing is based. This plea, it is to be feared, is mainly camouflage. The fundamental difference of opinion is between those who believe, no doubt sincerely, that the human body is something which should be concealed and mentioned with adequate re-serve, and those who regard it as beautiful and glorious in itself. Closely, indeed, inseparably, allied to the first of these is the view that makes sex a shameful thing, to be referred to only in whispers, to be kept from the knowledge of the young, a secret and a mystery compounded of allurement, danger, and scurrility. It is because this view of its modifi-cations has so long prevailed that we still have to contend with our annual 40,000 illegitimate children, our young people with lives ruined through ignorance, our children marred before birth by the sins or follies of their parents. We want them to have beautiful and healthy bodies and to bike a wholesome pride in their health and beauty. To that end we want a great extension of facilities for physical training, for games, folk dancing, ringing, open-a- ir life, sports, and certainly for swimming one of the most health-givin- g of all exercises. The ed view lingers, but it is passing, and most of us hail with joy this new era, in which young men and young women meet in healthy and open companionship, be-lieving that the right marriages will be encouraged and firm foundations Taid for the happiness and prosperity of the race. MISS DORA PALKIN Miss Dora Pal' In, a native of Con-necticut, now practicing law In Wash-ington, has gained the distinction of being the youngest woman admitted to practice In the United States Su-preme court. She graduated from a Washington law aehool In 1910, and though only, twenty-fou- r years old now, she served during the war on the legal advisory council which render' advice to lnndnKl uf draft im-r-. Ten Thousand at Canary's Funeral Kwf j-M- l Ten thousand residents of Newark, N. J., turned out to witness the Strangest funeral procession ever held In that, or possibly any other city of the country. "Jlmmle," a canary pet of Emllio Russomanno, a Newark cob-bler, was being burled with honors. There was a band that played the funeral dirge, a white hearse, sllk-llne- d coffin and carriages for the mourners. "Jlmmte's" funeral cost Russomanno (200, but the cobbler said It was the last he could do for his d pet, and he considered the money well pent. Where the White Race Stands as the Result of the Great World War. By LOTHROP STODDARD, in "The Rising Tide of Color." Turning to a racial instead of a political map, one sees that instead of being nine-tent- hs white, the world is, as a matter of racial fact, only four-tent- hs white. The rest is occupied by colored races. Today, against the actual barriers of tha white world, the barriers composed of white flesh and blood, the rising tide of color is beating, and will boat yet more fiercely as congesting population and quickened and a heightened sense of power impel the colored world to expansion and dominion. Tlfis colored peril has three facets: The peril of arms, the peril of markets and the peril of migration. As to the peril of arms we must realize that the brown and yellow races possess great military potentialities, likely to be organized at uiy time for revolt for reasons like overpopulation. The second, or economic phase, though not a serious factor yet, must be reckoned with as something which will increasingly complicate the rela-tions of the white and nonwhite worlds, and even today tends to intensify Asiatic desires for expansion. The third facet, the question of Asiatic immigration, is incomparably the greatest external problem which tndny faces the white world. It in-finitely transcends the peril of arms or markets, since it threatens not merely our supremacy or prosperity, but our very race existence. The grim truth of the matter is this: The whole white race is ex-posed, immediately or ultimately, to the possibility of social sterilization and final replacement or absorption by the teeming colored rams. |
