OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY OF TORRANCE

Published semi-weekly at Torrance, California, and entered

class matter January 30. 1914. at the Postofflce at T

California, under the Act of March 3. 1879.

The Young Think They're Wisen + + -n + -ttn + -nn + 4t'H :ti'-ii

But Only the Aged Are Seers

EVERY generation, no matter how paltry its character,

thinks itself much wiser than the one immediately

preceding it. let alone those that are remote. It is just

the same with the different periods of a. man's life.

In the years of physical growth, when our powers

of mind and our stores of knowledge are receiving daily

additions, it becomes a habit to look down with con­

tempt upon yesterday, as has been said. The habit

takes root, and remains even after the intellectual

powers have begun to decline when today should

rather look up with respect to yesterday.

This is the place for Schopenhauer's observation that,

allhorug in its main qualities, a man's intellect or head,

as well as his character or heart, is innate, yet the

former is by no means so unalterable in its nature as

the latter."The fact is .that the intellect is subject to very

many transformations, which as a rule do not fail to

make their actual appearance; and this is so, partly

because the intellect has a deep foundation in the

-physique, and partly because the material with which

it deals is given in experience." ..

And so we find that if a nlan "lias any peculiar

strength, it first gradually increases in strength until

it reaches its acme, after which if enters upon a path

of slow decadence, until it ends in imbecility.But on the other hand, as Schopenhauer points out,

we must not lose sight of the fact that the material

.which gives employment to a man's powers and keeps

them in activity the subject matter of thought and

knowledge, experience, intellectual attainments, and the

practice of seeing to the bottom of things, that is, a

perfect mental vision, form in themselves a mass which

continues to increase in size, until the. time comes when

weakne.-s shows itself, and the man's powers sud­

denly fail.Tin- way in which these two distinguishable elements

combine in the same nature the one absolutely un-

alterali 1 ", and the other subject to change in two di­

rections opposed to each other explains the variety

of nii.i'iil attitude and ' dissimilarity of value which

attach ii> a man at different periods of life.

"A complete and adequate notion of life can never

be. attained by anyone who does not reach old age,"

observt # Schopenhauer, "for it i.-- only the old man who

sees life whole und knows its iinrmal course; it is only

he who is acquainted and this is most important not

only with its entrance, like the rest of mankind, but

with its exit, too; so that he alone has a full sense of

its utter vanity; while the. others never eease to labor

under the false notion that everything will come right

in the end "

Chemistry King of Future

Some Great Experiments

THE greatest optimisst toward mankind's hope of im­

provement is a chemist, Df. Edwin E. Slosson, editor

of "Science Service," formerly professor of chemistry

and an author of scientific -books for the lay reader,

including the widely read "Creative Chemistry." It is

he who believes the chemist is well on the way to

control our physical make-up. He said recently:"Comparatively recent study has shown that every

living creature, from microbe to man, owe their growth

and health to the action of chemical compounds. This

places chemistry in the forefront as the hope of medi­

cine. We soon will pay less attention to giving people

big doses internally than we do to putting into their

blood streams chemicals in extremely minute amount

which will affect the very composition of their beings.Result of Experiments

Here is the argument from which this position is

taken:"Experiments with plants and lower animals have

proven the extraordinary effect which minute chemical

doses can produce. For instance, a little magnesium

chloride in the water will cause a fish to grow one eye

in the middle of his forehead instead of two on the sides.

A bit of sugar will cause plant lice to grow wings and

alcohol will have the opopsile effort. All this smacks

Of the ancient lore of mythology, where giants and

dwarfs, the one-eyed ryclops and beasts of many heads,

abound; but while these may not be advisable aims to

work for, the modern monsters rivaled in the laboratory

Biay be a first step by which tin- chemists will eventually

learn to mould the stutuiv, M-X and powers of human

beings OH easily as the sculptor moulds his clay."For we know that there are compounds which may

benefit human life as much as oilier chemical com­

positions such as alcohol anil heroin Have contributed

to man's unhappinoss. Their are minute lhinjj;s in us

called hormones, which one scientist bus named "chem­

ical messengers." It is a modern theory thai these hor-

moueu control personality. That is, a man is guy,

Vivacious or sullen and stogy because of the peculiar

condition of the hormones working in him. These are

definite chemical substances, and it is not ton much to

expect that some day the chemist will be able to ,in-

ureaae the potency of a person's hormojios us today he

doea the potency of dyes and drugs."
