MacArthur While the principles of elec- tricity had been known for cen- turies. several outstanding men in the field of science were respon- sible for bringing the hidden mys- lery to full fruition. Thales. Pliny, Robert Doyle, Sir William Watson were among this group. Each contributed his part to the building up of a great sci- ence- It was. however. not until 1739 that rapid progress in this fascinating science began to step forward at a rapid pace, It was Hans Orested who open- ed one of the closed doors. shed- ding further light on the poten- tialities of electricity but it look a poor blacksmlth's son. Michael Farady, to bring Oresied's ideas to perfection. Faraday. a poor English lad. was born in 1791 and, with almost no education. he was apprenticed to a London book-binder. Many poor children in those days were forced to earn their livelihood in a cold. cruel world. Michael Faraday be- longed to this class. . . . The story of Faraday's humble bellflnlng and final triumph in- terests every right-thinking per- son who read: if. It interests the business man who has made a success for the reason that he probably travelled along the hard road before he reached llls goal. and it should interest the young man because he may .have to go through the some thing. or part 0f it. It stirs one's blood. The heroism of a youth who worked eighteen hours a day. under ad. verse circumstances to make good -a boy who lifted himself up by his own bootstraps. . One day a gentleman, on enter- in: the shop, found the boy bind- ing kn cncyclopaedla, al the same time trying to read an article in it on electricity. Naturally enough, this man was surprised to see a mere youth so taken up with such a difficult subject. By sub- jecting the boy to a number of questions. he found that Fnrady. working late into the night, had already been experimenting on his own with nothing but a home- made battery. Before leaving the building, the stranger handed Faraday some tlckeis for a series of lcctures which Sir l-lumphrey Davy was at that time delivering at the Royal Institute. When he heard ihe learned lec- turer. the youth was over-powered by his own ignorance. would he ever be able to give an exposi. lion like the one he heard? Well, hardly. yet he listened attentively and made some rough notes which he later rewrole and sent them to the great man. together with a little note asking if he might serve the lcciurer in some capa- city. Late one night. when our Suc- cess Story boy was retiring to his attic bed. he heard a loud knock- in: on the outer door. "Now who could that be?" The next moment a messenger appeared asking the youth to call at Mr. Davy's home in the morning, A The great man remembered his own early days and his heart went out to the plucky youngster who Was trylnzz to forge ahead under Brent handicaps. So Faraday be. Came Sir DBVy's assistant of twenty-five shillings a week, and the young assistant did not dis- appoint his employer. From the Very first. the boy's work was satisfactory in every way. Furth- ermore. Davy recognized a spark of genius in the untutored lad. Everything the boy took up, he advanced and improved. Now and then, Davy had the young man accompany him abroad. but his wife was mean to Faraday and led him a rather bad time of it. She would not permit him to eat his meals with the family, so he had to dine with the grooms. MF5- DHVY was the sort of woman who looked down upon everybody who did not belong to the mg.

We all grieve with the mother, not only because of the loss of her baby but because she blames her- self for neglecting the child and feels that she can never forgive herself. Thai; all infants supposed- ly "smothered in their cribs" are not really smothered but die nat- ural deaths, is just now becoming known. In "The Australian Medical Jour- nal." and recorded by Time mag- azine, Dr. Keith Boivden, chief pathologist of the state of Victoria and head of the Melbourne morgue. reports that he did a series of 40 detailed autopsies on babies who had died in their cribs, most of them supposedly from suffocation. He did not find a single case in which his investigation showed suffocation to be the cause. While the mechanism of death is obscure, in almost every case natural dis- ease was present. If more autopsies were made. and many are not thorough enough, unsuspected dis- ease frequently would be found to be the cause of death. slltuta where eventually he im. Dr. Bowden states that the rea- son that smothering by bedclothes or by the child lying on its face is believed the cause is the "appall- ing swiftness with which death snatches the young. A baby may be overwhelmed in a few hours by a disease of such an iexplosive' type that no symptoms are show- ing when the child is put to bed.' These diseases are usually of heart, ear. nose. throat and lungs. Fur- ther. up to the age of six months all babies like to sleep flat on their backs. After six months, they pre- fer to sleep on their faces with knees drawn up. A healthy baby can take care of himself and will push away I cov- erlng over his face; he will fight for his life and yell to attract atten- tion. "Why should a healthy baby die without much fuss just because he is face downward or his face is covered? But 8 baby dying of nat- ural disease might well be expected to leave this world quietly." I believe the knowledge that babies dying in their cribs. t.houg7ht to be smothered by bedclothes or from lying on their face, really die of disease unknown or , A ” by the parent and the physician. will relieve our minds and bring comfort to all mothers.

No woman who still retained her reasoning faculties, no matter how much in love she was. would be mad enough to marry a man who grew green-eyed every time she spoke to another man even when he knew it was a matter of business. who demanded that she produce an alibi for every minute of her time and who followed her and snooped on her everywhere MAKES MARRIAGE BAD RISK Any woman with a grain of sense in her head would know that no marriage could be happy that was built on suspicion. and that no husband could be so little desirable as one who even before marriage showed how monopolistic and tyrannical he would be if I iVDmIn WIS She would know that marriage would be a hell the worst of her and who did not give her credit for any sense of honor or loyalty or decency.
