SCIENTISTS POINT WAY
TOWARD IDEAL LIVING
That party of scientists who
sailed from Honolulu the other day
to a two-months trip to study &
"n#ur-mlnute eclipse of the sun might
wry well be taken as a model for
the rest of the world to copy.
Along with 11 tons of equipment,
these scientists — there are 13 of
them — are bound for one of the
uninhabited Phoenix islands, far
out In the Pacific. They will set up
their apparatus there and on the
Mghth of June they will have 240
oeconds in which to study a com-
pletely eclipsed sun.
The party over, they will head for
home again, having spent a good
deal of money and a great deal of
effort in the quest for a collection
of facts which, from the dollars and
•tote viewpoint, will never do any-
one the least good.
But the net result will be that the
cum total of the race’s knowledge
•bout the infinitely mysterious world
It inhabits will be increased, if only
by a little.
» • * »
The point is that it is still
possible for a disinterested job of
this kind to be done. We can still
get some high-powered brains to-
•Dther. spend important money and
Blake elaborate plans for an expedi-
tion whose fruits can’t be turned
into cash or reserved as the exclu-
(dve property of anyone.
The knowledge gained by this ex-
fiedltion will be available to Ger-
mans and Russians and Englishmen
and Japanese as well as to Ameri-
cans. It will not be patented and
let out on a royalty basis by any
Ban or corporation, or jealously
guarded in the archives of tiny
foreign offee. It will be as free as
the air to any human being who has
the wit to use it.
That sort of thing isn’t as com-
mon as it might be, these days. For
the keynote to this 20th century
world seems to be unrestrained ri-
valry — every man (or nation) for
himself, and the devil take the
hindmost, as he is quite likely to do.
The idea that the race will be better
off if it works together and stops
trying to gain advantage for one
group at the expense of some other
has hardly so much as dawned on
to.

THE constellation, Orion, is rich in story lore. It was mentioned
many times by the Greek poets, Homer and Hesiod, as well as in
the Book of Job. Orion was a mighty hunter, and as he is pictured
in the sky, the giant, red star Betelgeuse forms his right shoulder,
and the bright Rigel forms his left foot.

Yet it ought to be obvious that we
simply aren’t going to b« able to
live by this devll-take-the-hindmost'
creed so very much longer. The
devil is following altogether too
closely on our heels. The world has
grown too small. Like it or not, the
human race is going to — wherever
it is going — as a group.
Fishing Vacation—
(Continued from Page One)
So this little scientific expedition
shines like a good deed in a naughty
world. It is a hint that we aren’t
necessarily doomed to go on cutting
one another’s throats, after all. We
can co-operate, we can make the
gain of one the gain of ail.
And if we ever do set out to live
up to this example set by our scien-
tists, what a world we can make
for ourselves.

He told all his audiences he was
glad to be back in Texas and had
really had great time snagging tar-

“The fish have been as good to

a laughing crowd on the beach drive
at Galveston, where he landed from

Levy of Galveston greeted the presi-

As the chief executive stepped
ashore, a battery from Fort Crock-

was taken on a motor tour through
the Island city whole holiday crowds
shouted greetings from the oleander
bordered streets.
Levy presented the president, the
first White House incumbent to
visit Galveston since 1891, with a
rod and reel. The president told the
crowd he was coming back to give
the rod a chance to “prove itself.”
He landed two tarpon out of 16
caught by the party during 11 days
of fishing.

spoke again of having enjoyed his

Morris, who had been introduced to

from a wheel chair.
At College Station the president
was greeted by President T. O. Wal-
ton of Texas.A. & M.
Several thousand were at the de-
pot to welcome the president. A
campus gun boomed out a 21-gun
salute as the president departed for
the reviewing stand on the drill
field. Three thousand cadets in
ROTC uniform were lined up on the
field. A few minutes later the presi-
dent’s arrival parade across the drill
grounds began, led by a 170-piece
band. A cavalry drill concluded the
ceremony.

J5 ACK and forth, between France
** and England, the seven islands
comprising Guadalupe in the West
Indies were shuttled from 1759 to
1866. Discovered by Columbus in
1493, the colony was taken over
by the French in 1635, long re-
maining a dependency of Marti-
nique. The British captured it in
1759, it was restored to France
four years later, and again the
British took it in 1793.
That game year Victor Hugues,
French corsair, offering freedom
to those slaves who would join
him, rounded up an army of blacks
and routed the English. But Na-
poleon Bonaparte, in 1802, re-es-
tablished slavery on the island,
and many of the freed men killed
themselves rather than submit.
In 1810, England again took
over the island, only to give it up
•ix years later. Today, the col-
ony is a rich source of sugar, cof-
fee, cocoa, and rum.
A view of one of the two larg-
est islands is shown on the (tamp
below, issued in 1905.
