a Virtue Once
Will Durant, Philosopher, Dis-
cusses iQur Ever Chang-
ing Moral. Code
Morals are customs mare Breached
than practised. They are dudes which
we require of our neighbors,.
So says Will Durant, writing in the
APO! "Forum" on "Our ()hanging
Morals:"
It is' astonishing how the moral cods
has varied from time to time, and
from place to place: .St, Augustine
as disturbed by the polygamy • ox
.braham, but rightly •pointed out that
it 'was 'not "immoral'" tor' the .ancient
Jews to pay the'erpensea of several
wives. Indeed, in an age of war polyg-
stay may become a virtue, for it is
blessed with many children, Before
social aider replaced the recurrent
eonfllets of tribe with tribe, the death
rate' of men far exceeded that of
women; and polygamy was the•natural
result of the -numerical superiority of
the once weaker. sex. Monogamy is
one of the penalties of tribal peace.
Let us,. pour ••life into the notion'
that morals are relative by recalling
some 'instances, A Japanese woman
.pays . no • attenti'on to the nudity ofa
workman, and yet she can be as mod-
est as Priscilla 'Dean, It was •"ob•
scene" for :an Arab woman to show
her -face, or a Ohifiese woman her,
foot; -,either concealment . aroused
imagination and desire, and served
.the good of the race. The Melanes-
ia's' buried alive 'their sick and_their
old, thinking it a kindly way of dls-.
poling of their waste.
"if," said an old'Gr'eek thinker, "you
'make a heap .of all customs some-
where• considered sacred and moral,
and then take from it all customs
somewhere considered impious and
immoral, nothing. will remain."
In substantiation of the 'argument
that every vice was`:' once a virtue,
Will Durant says:
' "Primitive man ate like the mod-
ern dog, 'because he dM not know
when his next •meal would come. In-
securtty is the .Mother 'of greed.
:Every vice was' •.once 'a virtue,• and
may'be.come-respectable again, just s'
hatre& becomes respectable "in •war-
time', •
-
In describing :how the moral, made
has changed in the transition from;
the agricultural ,ere : tb ,the industrial'
age, Mr, Durant ':writes
"The city offered every, 'dis'courage-
• inept 'to marriage,. While it .'provided•
every atimulus''and facility ;for sex.
Erotic development came as early as
before, economic .developnierit later..
That restraint upon desire which had
been feasible and :reasonable under
the agricultural regime, seeii1wi now
a -difficult and unnatural thing In 'an
industrial oivilization''that had. post-
•pond marriage, for men, even:to the
thirtieth year. ,Inevitably. the flesh
began to rebel. Chastity, ,w1110. had
b'e'en a virtue, be came a joke. Mbd-

Youth
Youth is not a time of life—it • is
a:state 'of mind... It is a temper of
the will, a quality of the imagination,
a vigor of the emotions,' It is afresh-
ness of the deep springs of life. Youth
means A. predominance of courage
over timidity, of the appetite of ad-
venture over love of ease. This often
exists in a man of fifty more than in
a boy of twenty. Nobody grows bld
by merely' living a number of years.
People grow old by deserting their
ideals.....
"Whether seventy or sixteen, there
is in every being's heart the love of
wonder, the amazement at the stars'
and tie starlike things and thoughts,
the undaunted challenge of events, the,
unfailing childlike appetite for what
next, and the joy and the game of life.
You are as young as your faith, as
old as your doubt; as young as your
self-confidence, as ,old:' as your fear;
as young: as your hope, as old as your.
.despair. In the central place of your
heart there is a wireless station. So
long as it receives messages of -beauty, -
hope cheer, gi:andeur, courage, and
power from the earth, front men, and
from the infinite, • so long are you
.young." -Harris Dibblr.

gal liquor if only` criminals patronized.

Like them, the 'stuffed rag donkey

It, was conceived as both similar to
living creatures and different from

As 'Easy as AB Cr
'It's all a' .natter o' practice, sir,"
the :caddie assured me lately When
I was playing what I hoped was golf:
and when the ball had not gone where
I -intended it to«go. "After a bit, it'll
all come as 'easy as kiss me 'and." I'
did not pause to assure ,him that I
should have found it by no n,eans easy
to kiss' his hand; but the ABC of
golf I found even more difficult than
that.
Unable to profit by experience,
however, i continued to look for other
ABC's of other worlds that I feel must
be there for me to conquer. It was
in this spirit that'I recently set out
to learn to drive a motor -ear. It must,
I told myself,-boeasy since even the
most-foolish/of my friends eau do it.
Consequently, I arranged to take
a course of lessons and ossessed my-
self of a book, Motoring Without
Trouble: The Owner -Driver's A B 0,
which I took home. I spent the even-
ing reading it—reading and re -read-
ing such sentences as: 'To bring this

NO DISPARITY
Farmer Giles had married once
again, and all the village were talking
of it.
It was known that the farmer's -
bride was some forty years younger
-than her husband, .and, according 'to
the villagers' upbringing, this was not
right. ' -
Eventually the rumor got to the
ears of Giles himself through a very
intimate friend.
"Everyone's talking about ye," be -
gait the friend. "They're a-sayin' ye
had no right to niari'y so young a
lass as ye did. The disparity is too
great"
"Don't you believe It" retorted the
farmer, "As a matter o' fact, there's
no disparity at all, for every time I
looks at the wife I feel twenty year's
Younger, an' every time she looks at
ole she feels twenty years older!"
Dr. Leonard Hill, who considers

Bulgaria's King
Man of Parts
King Boris a Mechanic in His
Spare Time; Botanist,
Zoologist and Engi-
neer as Well
Sofia—King Boris of Bulgaria, the
world's only bachelor sovereign, ap-
parently is going to marry Princess
Giovanna of Italy, and it is even pre-
dicted that the wedding will take
place in Sofia this spring,
Boris is 25 years old and Giovanna
is 21. As. kings go nowadays, Boris
is a relatively poor man. His salary
is only $43,000 a year and gives half
of it to charity, However, he will
be able to give his bride not only a
part of his throne, but half a dozen
Palaces in different parts of Bulgaria.
It is understood also that the Bulgar-
ian Government will give the king a
substantial increase in his civil lists
when re marries to enable him to
keep his bride in a style suited to the
dignity and taste of a queen.
Boris's bride will'receive as a wed-
ding gift from Boris a full-fledged
menagerie of elephants, lions, tigers,
buffaloes and other animals, as well
as the finest and largest collection
of butterflies and rare insects in
Europe, several huge conservatories
of flowers, a narrow-gauge railroad
(which, enriebes the palace grounds
in Varnia, near Sofia), several Ameri-
can automobiles, and Buell crown
jewels as Boris was able to save out
of the post -armistice wreckage of his
country when Czar Ferdinand, Ms
father, fled abroad.
Boris's intellectual qualities and
versatility are far above those of the
average monarch. He not only knows
all about ruling a country, buts' is a
first-class engineer, zoologist, botanist,
bibliophile, and a great authority on
natural history. He is also a brilliant
linguist, speaking Fernch, German,.
Russian, Bulgarian, Turkish, English,
Italian and 'Albanian.
More than. that, His Majesty is a
lover of music and something of a
genius in mechanical matters. He is,
a licensed locomotive engineer and
Chauffeur, and has a passion forthe
ehanical contrivances -of all sorts. He
can take an .automobile, -sewing ma-.
chine, radio set, machine gun, or the
finest' jeweled watch entirely apart
and put t together again with'abso-
lute precision.
In' spite f his exalted position,
Boris is the pertionification of sim-
plicity and democracy. .He may be
seen any day driving his own auto -
Mobile through the 'streets of Sofia,
or roaming the countryside chatting
with peasants about their home prob-
lems. He "has repeatedly helped
stranded motorists along the road. •
