PARADISE LOST
I No words of abuse existed in this
Elysian Republic, a language with
out a stain. In the very heat of
anger, the upright, manly Kaidia
kan drew himself up in pride and
! scorn, and would say: “Your fa
ther had no bidarcas, was not
agile, and was a poor hunter; I
never wore a bird-sokin parka,
much less a hair seal parka.” To
withstand an insult calls for a
God-like attribute, which few pos
j sess; although Solomon verily
i sayeth: “ ’Tis the glory of man to
pass by an offense; for, upon my
soul, 900 women must be right.”
PRIMITIVE JUSTICE
The Kaidiakans did not inflict
corporal punishment for theft,
among themselves, but merely took
away the stolen article, the crim
inal being reproached and shamed
for theft before the assembled
populace; whereas, if the culprit
didn’t voluntarily confess and
make restitution, the stolen ar
. tide was forcibly recovered and
i as an additional penalty, his
i parka was removed as an exam
| pie to others.
1
|* Slaves (war prisoners) were pun
| ished by being flogged and beaten,
and for the more serious offenses,
their legs and arms were broken.
But plague! Justice wore blind
ers:
‘ Let not this too much, my son, i
Disturb thy youthful breast;
This partial view of human kind,'
Is surely not the last!
The poor, oppressed, honest wight,!
Had never, sure, been born,
Had Nature not made recompense,
To comfort those that mourn.”
—Burns.

Advanced Refrigeration
Continually working for the ad
vancement of domestic electric re
frigeration, engineers of Frigidaire
Corporation have made it possible
for this General Motors subsidiary
this year to present a household
refrigerator with many refinements
and improvements, according to an
announcement by the local repre
sentative. Economy, efficiency and
beauty have been the guiding stars
of these engineers and as a result
the Frigidaire of today operates at
much lower cost, freezes more ice
cubes faster, has an interior and
exterior finish of durable white
porcelain-on-steel and provides
more shelf space than before.
