Mr. D. H.. Lawrence was another- he was heartily disgusted with the mess we have made of civilisation, and he took care to stay removed from it.

·

Whenever one talks to intelligent people who have over thought about it, one finds this samo protest against the folly and artificiality of civilisation as we know it. Most of us accept it all without thinking about it-usually when people do begin to think about it they find it intolerable, and to hunger for a simpler life. in which, as Lawrence puts it, men and women might earn life, instead of merely a living.

Into Reality,

If we could escape from civilisa tion, we might escape from arti- ficiality into reality. But wo are all caught up in the maw of the

machine and when the machine accelerates we call it progress

But is it As Aldous Huxley has written, "Good times are chronic nowadays," but how much do they contribute to human happiness and the fundamental art of living 1 Nothing!

We cannot all build sloops and nail away into the sun in quest of the good life, but it is a good thing to ponder, occasionally, this prob. lem of civilisation in relation to the May-song of birds above the roar of the machine.

The Romance of Advanture There is something in the nature of a flight from civiliantion in thean pioneering exploits of our air and Polar adventurers, the hunger for the romanes of adventure, the need to do something-not to be merely 'n oog in the mammoth machine.

The same spirit which impelled Columbus, Hudson, Cobot, Raleigh, to ant nut in search of new lands, impelled Scott, Shackleton, Nansen, and impels people like Captain Barnard, Lindbergh, the Duchess of Bedford and Mies Amy Johnson,

The blackmailer is one of the black spots in civilisation; he is anti-social, a menace to society, and deservedly drastically dealt with,
