Also he ridicules the fact that in five small cases the{ evolution of man is supposedly sub- stantiated. Indeed, Dr. Straton, your laughs' are well deserved, for one whose breadth of vision is so nar- row must find his amusement within the walls which banish so much from his intellect. Evolutiotlists do not contest the' validity of the teleological argument, which adequately" explains the Iinflu- ence of God in the development of man. They do' not maintain that he "camne up. in .soxme mysterious. way, out of the slime through a series of reptiles,. etc." They do. however at- tempt to prove that he developed from reptile to beast, and finally to man. The absence of proof is not often suf- ficient grounds for ridiculing an argu- ment in the process of substantiation, and if Dr. Straton -will be a *bit more patient he shall find five hundred cases instead of five, displaying the evidences of evolution.

THlE FABLE OF THE BOY WHO WAS CALLED SATAN A ,woodcutter's family was blessed with a. son, who was their thirteenth Echild. I"What shall we call him?" the wife: asked of hers husband. "It is in the nature of things," re-I turned the husb~and,. "that 'while wek think of naming a babe like this there are thousands-nay, millions of other babes being named at the same time. It makes no diifference to them, for what use have they fcr a mere wood- cutter's son like ours?" Is thought of, not in terms~ of majority complacency, but in light of its il- luminating Individuals. Very often criticism from the out- side are "laughed off"' with a "v ha t do they know about it." But here i an excerpt from afn editorial recentlyI published in this state evidently basedI upon the statement of some one who does "know about it." "A college student remarked re- cently that there is considerable dif- ference between the social attitude of many students in the earlier por- tion of their course, from that which l prevails in their 'senior year,. a aj freshman and a sophomnore, he said the students all seem to feel the need of a democratic spirit. They must be good fellows with the crowdl, show themselves generally affable, or they will not form friendships. "But when they become_ sensor,' there is a tendency for social lines to stiffen. Those who have acquired I social prominence, or the position of whose families gives them social posi- tion, are often inclined to withdraw from their former democratic atti-- tulde. I"'They feel they are about to come I out into a world in which social l inec are sharply drawn, and many of thern show that they do not care for in- timacies with those who lack social prestige." We hope that the "college student." I Is not of our number. We also wantj to think that we are not trying to "laugh it off." California does not consciously cultivate those "social1 lies" to such a, degree that, they' be-, come embarassing and merit critic- ism. Social lines of demarcation are inevitable in any society. Proper and improper, they are a result of human Inature. And human nature, if we ,are ho ne st w ith ,;oumrsIdes, is the centerIiof n a k d ' u iv r e But just as society, wihich is the' cross section of human nature allows certain distinctions, it does not per-{ mit excesses of the -same. When social lines become too rigidly drawn, when powerful classes become too' videlr separated, then there is a crash-the{ Inevitable result of an unbalanccd_,re-{ lationship. tAs yet there has been no cr~a h ata [ the University of California. We are 'not looking for one. Close observation' of our many democratic trad tions is our bulwark. Limiteris:. 9 a. mu., t: a.iM. and eveiry two hours to 9:10 D'. in.

When she returned she fouind her home~ in a 'state of disre- pair that would have dcone credit to i a small, cyclone. The kitchen, es- pecially, wa- far fromn being in order- ly state and showed signs of neglect. Whi~e she was, engaged in the pro- cess, of clearing 111)'the remains, 1-ub- by entered.

'did not suwcceed.' In fact, it "f'el l fiat." J Friend vwife was too old a hand at the game to be fooled by a v aliently dis- 1 played knowledge of the scarcity of cocoa! And so it goes. Men talk lengthily 1 and knowingly of insignificant de- tails and miss the main points alto-! gether. Often the man who knowsJ the most about cocoa, or who seems to, will be utterly ignorant of the1 meat, bread, and potatoes of life. Hle. will be' able to skim the subject suc- cessfully, but he will never get-down to the root of things. And the person who really knows whereof he speaksf can detect it. Therefore, -when it is necessary to work a bluff, it is advisable to delve a little 'deeper into the kitchen than the cocoa can!

"Itt is °,for 'us,"= he continued angr- ily, "to become bitter, when ignored. And the ignored person is, always bit. ter." With a vehemnent gesture he struck a match and lighted his pipe. "See that smoke," he said. "Does it go straight up? No, it goes in at winding spiral-" "One moment," interrupted his wife, I "geometricians have not denied that it is a spiral. Nor have they denied that astronomy is possible. Be hu- Iman, my. husband, and realize that even as you smoke, wars are being fought, cities are being torn up, throats are being cut, horror is walk-j ing abroad, and-" she added with aI I look of tenderness toward her child, I "Babes are being born." Tears came to the woodcutter's eyes. His wife has pierced his heart with those words. Resolutely, he drew a long breath and spoke, all vestige of egotism gone out of his voice, and his eyes pale and watery. "The child shall not be car~ed Abra- hanm," he murmured. "No," she said, "it shall not be called Abraham." "Nor shall it be called Iiezekiah." "No,' it shall not be called I-ezekiah." "It shall be called ;Satan." "Yes, it shall be called Satan." A wail burst from. the child. "I hope," said the woodcutter fervently, "that he will live up to his name." =---. P. L.

William Isutier Yeats, as ycn know, is the winner of this year's Nobel Prize' for Literature, and_ in "The Hour Glass.." unlike the usual run of so-called' "religious drama," he has composed a striking play that is truDly moving and utterly devoid of any pro- pagandist .tendencies. The purpose of the present produc-I tion is to bring back to the church in a simple, but if possible, artistic manner the best that the theater has to offer. It is merely an attempt to test the practicability of the axiom, "The theater began in the church, and should go back there." k With this in mind, all the conven- tional artifices or the stage will beI eliminated: There will be no foot-' lights, no curtain, and little more than a bare platform flooded in a pool of hard light.
