Credit Where Credit Is Due.
Hie friends of Dr. A. B. Patterson,
* former State Senator from Barnwell
County, are pleased that he has at
last been given due recognition as a
pioneer in the iodine investigation in
this State that promises so much to
distressed agriculture. Senator Pat
terson introduced the bill authorizing
, the investigation two or three years
ago and is certainly entitled to his
full share of credit for whatever good
may result to the farmers of South
Carolina. Heretofore, most of the
dispatches from the capital city
re given the lion's share of praise
a Columbia doctor.
Cal's ConRistenKln c onsistency.
President Coolidge has frowned with
disapproval upon the proposed appro
priation of $15,000,000 to lend to
ihrmerg in the Southeastern States—
Florida, Georgia and South Carolina—
who suffered from the tropical storm
last September. On th^ other hand he
smiled with approval upon an ap
propriation of $8,000,000 for the re
lief of the inhabitants of Poito Rico
Who suffered frrm the same storm.
All of which h rot surprising when
one recalls th-it he vetoed the Farm
Relief Bill with one hand and signed
an increr.-e in the tari'T on p:g iron
With the other. When it comes to con-
^stent irconsistency. Cautions Cal is
g jewel beyond price.
We-oo-nder-r-r-ful— Ye*?
^ Juat when we had about recovered
a * r om the shock of Einstein's theory of
^^lativity. that eminent German pro-
ea * e «or and Prof. Eddington, of Eng-
* lim, l ,h.v. again upset the old dope
^ 'iVet with a brand new theory that
just as understandable as the one
Baling with relativity. It is so sim
ple, in fact, that it is explained
With the parable of two golf balls.
Listen to thia:
k “The game in our golfing parable is
the dynamics of motion of electrons.
For the sake of the game we conven
tionally identify or give lal>els to the
•fectrons at each stage. But such
labelling is not absolute. I find a par
allel to this in the ordinary relativity
theory’. We employ conventior al
frame- of time and space for a similar
purpose; but there is no absolute
frame of space and time. The mathe-
matical development of my theory
proceed* by assembling the transfor
mations of systems of labelling to the
transformations of frames of space
and time so that the whole subject be
comes a generalized relativity theory.
That the ambiguity of labelling is a
serious complication is shown by the
fact that an ordinary rotation of the
apace frame changes the labels in a
most disconcerting manner."
In the wotds of Rube Goldberg’s
Professor Botts, who explains his in
ventions each Sunday evening during
Collier’s radio hour: “Wo-o-o-nder-r-r
To!—yes ?"
A Disturbing Element.
William H. Taft, Chief Justice of
the United States Supreme Court,
asked to point out the most disturb
ing element in our national life, said
it was “the materialistic pholisophy
which places wealth and worldly suc
cess ahead of every other considera-
5pas of life ”
Ojj.Tiis materialistic philosophy bo|ds
Thu* secret of the crime problem.
JUnless it can be controlled, it will
tr {darken- the future. It is a menace to
civilization.
Asks Justice Taft, “What can it
profit a man to have accumulated mil
lions if he has not at the same time
maintained a clear conscience and ac
quired the good-will and esteem of his
fellow citizens?”
The Chief Justice ’believes that the
American people will find a way to
solve the perplexing problems before
them.
We share his optimism. A'fter all,
fke disturbing element of materialism

scientific trend among Americans,

growing out of this materialism, is
acute. But the majority are not
criminals. It is only the minority who
see no need of maintaining a clear
corseience and acquiring the good
will of their fellow citizens!
A New National Anthem?
Freedom, we children, all.
Long heard your mother-call
In lands afar,
Host after host we came,
I>rawn by your glorious name,
Lit by your torch aflame,
A new world’s star.
Thus starts the poem by Edgar
Markham, famous author of “The
Man With the Hoe,” for which he will
share in the $1,000 prize offered by
Florence Brooks-Aten for a national
anthem.
The Markham poem is beautiful.
But we wonder what is wrong with
the anthem that we have. “The Star
Spangled Banner” has many advan
tages.
It is hold, martial and defiant—it
makes one feel proud of one’s country.
It is in three-four time, so that it can

he played for a parade, but always
will l>e used in the most dignified way,
to be heard while persons are in as
semblage. It is hard to sing, there
fore is generally played by a hand,
and so is usually competently ren
dered.
However, the Markham poem is
certainly fine. Much as we like k,
though, we’d hate to see “The Star
Spangled Banner” lose its place as
the national anthem.
humor in the conviction that wealth
and fame come most easily to the
men whose sense of humor is most
keenly developed. Think of the men
you know, and see if this belief does
not carry gome weight.

The Ideal Man.
Two hundred and twenty college
girls in the East were asked some
mighty important questions in a
special questionnaire regarding the
type of men they seek as husbands.
Of the two hundred and twenty, only
twelve insisted on college graduates.
Only two demanded good looks. One
wanted an athlete. Fifty were op
posed to drinkers, more than 100
stipulated honesty, sincerity, educa
tion and culture.
Wealth and fame were entirely ig
nored. But the one quality most in
demand—guess—was a sense of
humor!
Evidently the girls agree with the
poet that “the man worth while is the
man who can smile.”
If this questionaire is indeed rep
resentative of the state of women’s
minds the country over, it behooves all
young men to learn to laugh and laugh
heartily.
Men who are not handsome, wealthy
or famous may now console them
selves. As long as they j^ave a sense
of humor, some girl will fall in love
with them.
But what man does not think he has
a serse of humor? All men seem to
be eligible for affection, to judge them
by their own opinions.
We are inclined to think that the
girls practiced a littje subtlety,, as
they often do. We cant believe they
want to pass up wealth and fame—
these things have always lured girls.
But being feminine, they mention
thing* indirectly—asking that
