Theory of Evolution
Chicago.—Evideliee pointing to im-
mortality, now before natural Science,
once, is found convincing by Prof,
Arthur H. Compton,.acknowledg,K1 to
be cite of the world's most distin-
guished physioitst, .in the current
University of Chicago Magazine.
Professor Compton discards the
view that man is merely a biological
organism reacting mechanically to
his environment. "It seems rather,"
Iso writes, "that our thinking is parti-
ally divorced from our 'brain."
The old doctrine of evolution and
the survival of the fittest, he notes,
Is being severely questioned, Pro-
fessor Cpmpton himself apparently
regards It as untenable, Instead of
an evolution guided only by blind
ehance, he takes a totally different
view. He regards evolution as in-
telligent minds.On this basis lie
terms the thoughts of man "perhaps
the most hispertant things in the
world,"
If, therefore, intelligence and char-
acter are of extraordinary "invariance
in the scheme of evolution, man's an-
nihilation, he concludes, would he "in-
finite waste."
Professor Compton Is one of the
three American whiners of the Nobel
Prize for physics. It was awarded
for his discovery of the "Compton ef-
fect," proving that light consists of
corpuscles, like a shower of tiny 'pro-
jectiles. He followed up this achieve-
ment by giving the world this year
the first definite outlines of the struc-
ture of the atom.
Material Theory Inadequate
The theory that 'thought Is a func-
tion of the brain, in the sense that
every idea and every decision is a
consequence of some action oecut-
ring in the brain, is discarded by the
physicist as inadequate. This theory
reduces a man's behavior to that of
an automaton, but Professor Comp -
toe observes that a certain freedom
of choice may be considered as an
experimental fact with which the-
ories must be reconcilid.
If there is freedom, he points out,
then there must be at least some
thinking quite independently of any
corresponding cerebral process.
"Mi ,examination of the evidence
scenic," he says "to show that 'the
correspondence between brain ac-
tivity and consciousness is not very
close. The detailed proof of Profes-
sor Bergson that, -there is infinitely
imorean a human consciousness than
in the corresponding brain,' rind that
'the mind overflows the brain on all
sides, and cerebral activity corres-
ponds only to a small part of mental
activity,' (Mind -Energy pp. 41 and 57)
seems convincing.
"That consciousness must die with
the body is thus logically required
viewpoint- that a definite thought is
the result of an equally definite
physical change in the brain. The
seeming fact of free will makes this
viewpoint appear to me highly im-
probable. It seems rather that our
thinking is partially divorced from.
our brain, a conclusion which sug-
gests, though cif Course does npt
prove, the possibility of conscious-
ness after death."

Table Runner
An attractive table scarf may be
quite easily made by running •vari-
ously colored strips of silk through
the meshes of one of the fishnet type
of window curtain material which has
a fairly open mesh.
Old silk dresses, ready for the rag-
bag, provide excellent materials for
cutting or tearing Into the necessary
strips, which should be about an inch
wide for average weight fabrics. By
using taste in the arrangement of
the strips, pleasing color schemes,
somewhat resembling hand-woven
linens, may be worked out. Plain
colored silks are likely to make pret-
tier runners. The net may be used
in its original color, or may be tinted
or dyed. Its color decides, more, or
less, the general tone of the color of
the runner.

The blue -gray c'euds drift :ndolently

The car. -road lies half hidden to the

Where silent -footed men and woman

In brilliant coats and head shawls

The morning with Metr laughter and

The waking of Darjeeling's day re-

The sun is hig, ar; through he dis-

Gold outlines of the mountains come

While distant noises, from the Great

That lies below, break on the ear

Rich, mellow bells, a brazen trumpet's

Rise stridently across the brilliant air.

Centenarian Dies
At Home In Ontario
Smith Falls, Ont.—Robert Smith,
100 years old, died here on Dec. 15th.
Two weeks ago the most serious ill-
ness of the few which came to him in
his long life, forced him to cease do-

of his record of seldom missing a

He died shortly after expressing
regret that he was unable to be "up

In Trade Is Recorded •To It F. H.
Ottawa—Canadian trade declined
during the month of November by
$71,003,828 in comparison with the
corresponding month last year, ac-
cording to figures published in the
current issue of the National Revenue
Review., In November, 1929, trade for
the month was valued at $221,979,-
663; last months this had dropped to
$150,975,885.
• Export from Canada deolined in
value from' $111,063,871 (exclusive of
$2,177,684 foreign re-exports) to $73,-
060,871 (exclusive of $1,551,162 foreign
re-exports). At the same time imports
into this country dropped from $108,-
733,697 to $76,363,802.
Illustrating the effect of the low-
ered price of wheat, the figures show
that while $23,550931 was received
for the export of 22,444,000 bushels of
wheat in November last year. only
$21,670.030 was received for the ex-
port of 31,217,294 in November just

Bird -Care Abroad
In Czechoslovakia, that long, thin
piece of country running across a part
of Central Europe, the school boys and
girls in every town and village
throughout the Republic are taught
how to build the prettiest and neaten
food boxes for the birds. After they
are made the children are shown the
best spots in which to place them,
after which it is 'their duty to keep
these special food boxes well supplied.
This is no task because these boys and
girls are particularly devoted to all
birds and animals and it is their great
pleasure to watch and care for them.

Of beauty barren and of comfort bare,

Stifling a sigh, with care and patient

She made the humble room into a

"What's,a Cow"—Here's
Your Answer
Poets and writers have landed and
extolled the clover -chewing cow and
now we see this most useful domes-
tic animal through the eyes of a
humorous student—
'The cow is a female quadruped
with an alto voice and a countenance
in which there is no guile. She col-
laborates with the pump in the pro-
ducton of a liquid called, milk, pro-
vides the filler for hash, sausages and
similar objects, and at last is skimmed
by those sloe has, benefitted, 'as mor-
tals commonly are.
• "The young cow is called a calf
and is used in the manufacture of
chicken salad, breadod veal And other
uses of which no further knowledge Is
necessary.
'The cow's tail is mounted aft and
has a universal joint. It ie used to
disturb marauding flies and the tassel
on the end has unique educational
value. Persons who come in contact
with the tassel have vocabularies of
peculiar and impressive force.
"The cow has two stomachs. The
one on the ground floor is used as a
warehouse and has no other function,
When this one is filled, the cow re-
tires to a quiet spot where her bad
manners will occasion no comment.
The raw material thus conveyed for
the second time to the interior of
her face is pulverized and delivered
to the auxiliary stomadh, where it is
converted into cow.
"The cow has no upper plate. All
of her teeth elre parked in the lower
Part of her face. This arrangement
was perfected by an efficiency expert
to keep her from gumming things. upa
As a result she bites up and gum's
down."

those for removing grease from the

with a cleansing powder. The grease
will not be washed down the drain
pipe and the paper can be burned or

than a cloth for cleaning windows
