He begged her not to apolo- gize. He said, VThis is the time when we need beauty more than we need anything else.n Life always does need beauty. And today beauty is a practical need. While we have remained neutral to the conflict between nations so far does not mean that we' will not ' eventually be forced into it, so why not enjoy these Hu gs while we can? Precisely as the boy whistles to keep up his courqgg so are we all crying today for something to reenforce confidence after our absurd hysteria of fear during the last few years. The strain of our modern mechanized civilization is making it more and more necessary to look toward the finer mental and esthetic things, to find the balance and compensation for the grind of daily living. John Keats wrote in his node to a Grecian Urnn,--HBeauty is truth, truth beautyg that is all ye know on earth and all ye need to know.W In the first quotation mentioned, it ispossible Keats meant that we can find beauty in everything if we just have ambition to search for it. Besides beauty in poetry, in music, in art and in nature there is beauty in spirit. Unconsciously it surrounds us in our everyday habits. The work that we are cn- gaged in can be filled with beauty if we only let our minds won- der. We are not to merely think things are to be done to get them over-with and not feel beauty in just seizing upon it with the hard desire to twist some practical advantage out of it. In- stead we should really study it in its own difference, and should wonder about it, hold it in our minds until we know what it re- minds us of, what comparisons and analogies it brings to us, and what searchlight of suggestions it reflects suddenly upon our brain. . If we have spiritual beauty we keep our minds full of kk spiring illusions and imagining the most beautiful thoughts from things we gee. We may see beauty in listening and learning as well as in teaching. We may sec it in the willingness to cooper- ate' and in the willingness of people to work well to-gether, We may see beauty in freindships and in the home. We may see it, in our cathedrals. Ancient art will come back to our world today in such measure as we the people, having looked understandingly upon beauty, desire beauty in things we create. Florence Nightingale, desperately ill of fever in the Crimea, left a record of the fact that the thing which brought her back to recovery was the sight of a single rose. Let us, too, 'have faith in beauty! Let us appreciate America for what it is, not for what we can get out of it, and let us all begin a crusade in quest for Beauty.

I gaze into the future as my fingers caress the globe which brings me face to face with reality. We are new passing through the stratosphere with a speed such as light waves cannot travel. We find ourselves on the planet of Mars Incorporated, facing the newly elected President, Donald Hartzell and his friend Eugene Close, head of the Agricultural Bureau and the Forest Conser- vation Department. The graceful pianist, Alice Neiss and that internationally known tenor, Garrio Pattersioni lknown to the class of '40 as Garry Lee Patterson! are visiting President Hartzell and his sweet wife the former screen actress Judy Garland. Both 'the accompanist and the singer have studied in Paris under the di- rection of Monsieur Victor L, Iams. In the home of the Hartzells' I see Nurse Jean Schnitzer taking care of President Hartzells' young son, who entertains himself by chewing on one of Marvin Archinals' new improved teething rings. A familiar breadth of shoulders displays itself now. Colch Harold Stahleker of Columbia University is revealed putting his pigskin heroes through a tough work-out. Across his chest he wears the various letters he recieved during his High School career. The' lovely countenance of Louise Schneider smiles from a tall bill board. This beautiful commercial model is posing for Ruth Louise Slutz's new Nsoft Al1ure,N beauty soap for brunettes. Another commercial sign is close by, and I read Dr. McVann's Rub Liniment--nDeath to Pain.U' This new liniment is a sure boon to the sore muscles of athletes. In a twinkling of an eye the scene changes. A huge silver China Clipper cuts its way through the mountainous clouds of the sky across the Pacific. Admiral Dick Fry is reviewing his pride of the air lines with a quick eye. Dusky City, Pennsylvania, makes the ball clouded and ' dark. I can seo Myria Price with a mean pair of handcuffs and a 38 re- peating automatio. Sho's G-Woman Number I. . Rat-a-tat-tat. For a minute I thought that it was a machine
