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."
