This la the magnificent Harding memorial at Marlon Uhlo whlcn now
atanda completed and ready for dedication It waa erected at a coat of $800-

Boston — If man paid for optical
energy at the rate charged for elec-
tricity for domestic use his vision
would cost him less than one trllllonth
of a trllllonth of a cent per second
This energy used ‘ every second for
seeing la the millionth part of the mil-
lionth of an erg It takes about 1000
ergs to lift a thirtieth of an ounce
half an Inch
Dr Charles Sheard director of
physics and biophysical research of
the Mayo foundation 'at Rochester
Minn ma'de these revelations of min-
ute quantities before the American
Optometrist association In convention
here
“The retina of the eye” he said “Is
one of the most sensitive energy re-
ceivers and detectors known It may
be thought of as a radio receiver al-
thought It does not respond to stim-
ulation by ordinary waves for It Is
a very selective set and la tuned to
radiant energy of wave lengths with-
in a single octave lying between four
and eight ten-mllllonths of a meter
or yard These waves like radio

Kx-President Coolldge la quoted as
saying that “One of the greatest
mysteries In the
world Is the suc-
cess that lies
In conscientious
work”
Mr Coolldge Is
an Incurable
worker who Illus-
trates In his own
life the theory
which he promul-
gated It was reg-
al a r persistent
work which made
him a successful
lawyer which raised him to the gov-
ernorship of Massachusetts and which
ultimately landed him In the Presi-
dential chair He has depended less
upon pull and oratory and personal
Influence to get him preferment than

rell following through during the

waves travel at a speed of 186000
mllgs a second and are the shorter
sisters of the much taller ones we
have christened radio
“The sensitivity of the eye Is ex-
traordinary Employing the Einstein
equation of the energy required to
cause the expansion of a single elec-
tron with a ray of green light we
may conclude that a single' energy
quantum for green light Is sufficient
to excite vision
“This Is saying that the liberation
of a single electron In the retina by
a green or blue light can excite the
sensation of vision In the brain A
millionth of a millionth of an erg per
second is the energy or power neces-
sary for vision
“Since It requires the millionth part
of the millionth of an erg to cause the
emission of one electron at the retina
and thus to set up the sensation of
vision then we know that if these
thousand ergs to which we have re-
ferred could be used up at the rate of
a millionth part of the millionth of an
erg and If there were no dissipation or
most men and this characteristic has
brought him success
He has never contemplated anything
bqt work Most men when they have
been through with the Presidency
have been content to go into retire-
ment to rest on their laurels and to
live on the reputation and the savings
which they had acquired during their
sojourn In the chair of the Chief Ex-
ecutive Mr Coolldge seems to be
quite completely sold on the efficiency
of work and before he was out of the
President’s chair he had made np his
mind to go back to hla home town and
to his old Job He had enough work
planned to keep him going for the
next forty years ' He sees as too few
men have seen that hard work paves
the road to happiness and success
Clayton Is forty-five but he has
never gotten far along the road to
success — and you can make your own
definition of the word He Is barely
hanging on to a Job which -brings him
neither fame nor fortune He la not
particularly sold on work Neither in
theory nor practice does It mean much
to him Fate hasn’t so far treated
him with much kindness he thinks
but the future looks brighter He
knows a man high la political circles
with whom he has a drag Jones Is
going to get him something pretty
nice one of these days All he has
to do Is to sit tight and the soft Job
will ultimately be hla and that is the
theory he has been working on for
twenty years Why work when a pull
will bring one what he wants? Clay-
ton's boy feels the same way He has
no Job he Is loafing around until dad
who has a drug with some one lands
him In an easy berth It hns never
occurred either to Clayton or his son
that conscientious work might be a
surer roni to s good job than the pull
they are striving so hard to cultivate
The hard conscientious worker seldom
loses a Job and seldom falls of promo-
tion Clay cultivated his Instructor In
economics with unfulling persistence
last semester He engaged him In con-
versation after class and he had him
over to the fraternity house for din-
ner Just before finals
“Do you think I'll get an 'A in
your course Mr Fox?’’ ho Inquired
of the Instructor
“Well If you work at your hooka as
hard aa you have worked me!' waa
the reply “Pro sure you will"
That's the answer— hard work

loss of energy an eye would have
something of the order of a million
years of vision Indeed It seems al-
most Incredible and Inconceivable
“But the millionth of a millionth of
an erg la a mighty small amount of
energy No more startling however
than the statement made by an Amer-
ican Nobel prize winner In physics
when he aaya that the number of
electrons contained In the quantity of
electricity which courses through an
ordinary Incandescent lamp and for
which one should pay If such were
possible one hundred thousandth of
a cent Is so large that If all of the
several million Inhabitants of Chicago
were to begin to count out these elec-
trons and were to keep counting them
at the rate of two a second and If
none of them were ever to stop sleep
or die It would take them Just 20000
years to finish the task"

Which Makes
of New York hsu
predicted to me that the day would
come when nobody would live on the
Island of Manhattun He said that
within a comparatively few years
Manhattan would be entirely given
over to business and that workers all
would be brought In from outside by
tunnels bridges and viaducts He
thought this would especially be true
when they developed airplanes to the
point where they could land on email
spaces
Others do not agree with this diag-
nosis They think that the workers
of New York will some day live In
sort of model tenements and apart-
ments erected on the top of tall of-
fice buildings They vision huge
buildings each a village in Itself with
stores movie theaters and all kinds
of things under one roof They think
these buildings will be over 100 sto-
ries high with perhnps SO stories de-
voted solely to business
e
Airplane enthusiasts talk of the
time when rich New Yorkers will live
200 miles away from the city coming
to business each morning In- express
cruisers of the air which will land
them on the roofs of their office build-
ings drive home and return for them
after business hours

All of these speculations make us
rather envy the youngest generation
now traveling In perambulators How
will they travel nnd what things will
they see fifty years from now?

should have a political cartoon If
this cartoon could not be put In the

and that Is what happened An elder-
