"That life is I thing to be lived. not just brood- ed over. that the result as its proli- iems are met, should be joy and coniidence, not iears within and without - this is the medicine Stevenson would apply to the spir- itual iatigue of his day.

British scientist Blasts Potato Ac

-Blight on Progress

2;- BIRMINGHAM. mgisuc. Sept 5-(AP)--A British scientist today

condemned the potato as a biisht on human progress. i

Dr. Redciiffe asalaman told the British Association for the Ad- vancement of Science that the low- iy tuber has even emibittered re- lation between Britain and the United States.

Dr. Salaiinan, now 75. is the re- tired director of the Potato Virus Station at Cambridge University. "It needs only the additional ingestion or a daily pint oi milk. to make the potato a complain food." he said. "From its earliest contact with man it exercised vi iundamental influence on his way of living.

"That iniluence delayed social progress in Britain generally and in Ireland particularly. The potato fitted well into the 'lazy-bed' sys- tem ci crop growing which Irish- men developed to avoid the drain- ing of wet land.

"To the peasant who could feed his iamily and his stock on the proceeds oi a few months work each year in the potato iield, laziness became an inevitable characteristic."

Dr. Salaman said the plant also encouraged drunkenness, because it was easy to make irom potatoes the high-voltage Irish whisky known as ”poteen." He added: "The evil influence of the pota- to's iood monopoly in Ireland reached a tragic climax in th: iailure and famine oi 1345-46. "'IVvo inilllon people either died

The London, lmgland. newspapers quoted the British ltmpireg cham- pion runner, Duncan Wright, as saying: "There are more teetotallers in the athletic world than in any other walk in llie. I could go through the whole list of British and world champions and would iind that 99 per cent were itsewtallers." A Novathlete of recent years has so captured the applause of American youth as has Bob Mathias, the seventeen year old runner at Tui- are High School in California. who won one oi the most outstand- ing events at the 1916 Olympic games. He said; "I do not use al- coholic bcverages. During my staylii London" with the best athletes of the world, I iound that all of them
