These products as food arc flf for

on our ability to master science, but
It Is also well to remember that there

UNIVERSAL PEACE
Tht* nation Is now In the mldat of
a controversy as to how best to pro¬
mote universal pence. That question
we will leave for diplomats to dis¬
cuss, but peace within nations ts no
less important than ponce between
nations and it la heavily laden with
prosperity for every etttaen within
our commonwealth.
Many leading politicians and ofttlmea
political platforms hnve declared war
upon business and no cabinet crisis
over resulted. Many men have stood
tn high plsces and hurled ’’gns bombs"
at industry; thrust bayonets Into bus
Iness enterprises and bombarded ag¬
riculture with indifference Party
leaders have many times broken dip¬
lomatic relations with Industry; sent
political aviators spying through the
affairs of business, and political sub¬
marines have sent torpedoes crushing
fnto the destiny of commerce. Dur¬
ing the past quarter of a century we
have fought many a duel with prog
resa, permitted many politician* to
carry on a guerrilla warfare against
civilization and point a pistol at tho
heart of honest enterprise.
No man should be permitted to cry
out for universal peuce until hla rec¬
ord baa been searched for exploaivoa,
for no vessel armed or laden with
munitions of war should be given a
clearance to rail for the port of Uni¬
versal Peace. Ia>t ua by all means
have pence, but peaco, like charity,
should begin at home.

DIFFER ON TEMPORARY STARS
Astronomers Hava Two View# as to
How the Somewhat Mysterious
Bodies Originate.
Most of tho texjhmks suggest that
temporary slurs, or "novne," may re¬
sult cither from the collision of two
bodies In apsec or from n sudden ox*
plosion or eruption of n single body.
Professor Hnlo, in his recent review
of Ihe Inst ten year#' work at Mount
Wilson, stntoa that a more plnuslblo
hypothesis Is that of a faint star sud¬
denly plunging Into a gaseous nebula.
The apoctrn of novne. after passing
through remarkable chnngca. have usu¬
ally been supposed lo correspond
cloudy In their last visible singe with
the spectra of nebulae. Observation*
at Mount Wilson, however, are In har¬
mony with an ohnervAllon of Hart¬
mann In showing that there Is. at least.
In some ensea, a still later stage. In
which tho characteristic lines of lha
nebular spectrum disappear, na If tho
star had finally passed out of the no
hula wrhleh caused its sudden outburst
of luminosity. On till** hypothesis, tho
temporary brightness of theao star*
