...give the Juniors an added advantage, For woman, it is now claimed, possesses five ounces less of brain matter than does man. If she succeeds in winning the conversational battle, she will be credited with a moral victory, at least, and she will disprove the theory of the new scientist. But conversation, though important, is not the chief part of the evening. There will stand before every couple the recently made fourteen and a half hour record for continuous dancing, and when the dining tables are brought out in the morning, the waiters should not be surprised...
When science has matured with age and develops that wisdom which age has already brought to religion, perhaps some great scientist will bring us the full truth which will completely reconcile science and religion. Or must we wait for that until we reach that better country where the limitations of the flesh, to which Dr. Steinmetz refers, no longer hampers us--where we shall no longer "see through a glass darkly but face to face", and where we will be with God--the great fountain of truth and love and light--forever...

...scientist has made the prediction that our descendants of the ninth or tenth generation will be so crowded into the area of the United States that there will not be space for them all to live comfortably, nor resources to provide them with food. In a few centuries the world will have reached its "saturation point" but by that time of course, we may be in communication with Mars, and if Mars has any room for our excess population we may be able to emigrate to the "new world". But if scientists fall in reach our sister planet by radio...
