The Wonders Of America
THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION
BY T. T. MAxEY

JAMES SMITHSON, an Englishman,
u who died in Italy in 1929, left his
property to the United States ito
found at Washington, under the name
Of the Smithsonian institution, an es'
adjustment for the increase and diff
fusion of knowledge among men,"
"a consultive library of objects"
rather than an institution Of learning
in the nature of a college with a
faculty and students, it's educational
activities are of the very broadcast
character. The several buildings are
located in 38-acre Smithsonian park
the institution also maintaining sta
tons at other widely separated points
Its expeditions surveys and explora-
tons cover practically every country
under the sun.
The Smithsonian park buildings
contain collections of the belongings
of Presidents Washington, Lincoln and
Grant, and the heroes of our army
and navy; the costumes worn by the
ladies of the white house from 1889 !;
the nOSC cOIlplSU0 cOleCllOu VI IRE
arms in the country; extensive ex-
hibits of medals, coins and stamps
of historic value; time keeping and
musical instruments, graphic arts,
textiles, embroideries and what nots !;
several millions of natural history
specimens; more than a million speci-
mems of the worlds flora and upwards
of 5000 exhibits of art-while the zoo
logical park, occupying 1877 acres in
Rock Creek valley (Washington), con-
tains more than 1,400 individual NAM
mails, birds and reptiles.
1t is needless to say that this great
institution is well and favorably
known to men Of science the world
over and that those who come to
study it's wondrous collections are
numbered in the millions.

ONE YEAR AGO-AND NOW.

zane year ago-Novernber II, 1918-the arms
~ tce was declared and the world took It's 1lfS'
~ deep breath in four years
To us of America it was happy day, for 1T
meant that the enemy had given up in defeat, ana
that many thousands of lives were saved when
otherwise would have been led to the field OF gore
The men Of our armies were joyful, because 1t
meant home and freedom again for them.
One year-but such year!
Then we thought the blood of our sons had made
the world safe for democracy. Today we find 1t
gasping in the throes of disintegration
Jealousy, hatred and suspicion of one another
has been engendered in the governments and peoples
of Europe. No one trusts anOtnef open ulScoru
is everywhere.
Russia is seething cauldrom, the Balkans are
melting pot, and Turkey is living hell.
Secret diplomacy and the conference OF ParlS
have produced not honor and justice, but rather
Shantung and Fiume
The peace of nations is msnomer-a phan-
tom of the brain which does not even follow its own
convictions:
We see a cessation of armed conflict but no
where is there tranquility.
Europe is pauperized and hotbed OF boishe-
vism.
England is staggering under mountain OF debt
and the burdens of the Irish question.
America is lettering on the brink OF revolution.
Mexico is in perpetual eruption and the lesser
nations of the western hemisphere are slnolderlng
with unrest.
Labor and capital are at each others Threats the
world over, and governmental threats and appeals
alike fall upon deaf ears.
Profiteering is rampant and no agency seems
powerful enough to check it.
Collective sanity is nowhere to be found.
One year ago we exclaimed: "Safe for democ-
racy!"
Today it is the survival of the fittest
But this condition can not last. An end must
come.
The greed of the capitalist and the arbitrariness
of labor must be curbed
The government must take action, drastic as the
conditions may warrant.
The man who considers himself greater than the
nttion must be crushed by the nation.
There is no other alternative if we are to pre-
serve the free country forefathers buded for
Those whom the Gods would destroy they first
make mad-and America is mad house today.

THE WORLD MOVES.


~ OWADAYS we see the tractor doing duty, like
~ charm; it's the most important factor in the
business of the farm. Oh we see the farmer
sitting on a spring seat painted green, and Won
drous gait he's hitting, he tools his weird machine
Horses look to him like fakers and for mules he'd
give no mon; for he plows dozen acres where a
team would fail at one. AS view the mighty trac-
tor olden times return to me when was tragic
actor in the scenes of husbandry One old mule was
my allotment one old mule of brinded gray, and she
knew just what swat meant, for larruped her all
day. All the weary day whacked her, soaked her
ribs, and then again. and longed to have tractor,
which was not invented then. With club her ribs
polished, hoping thus some speed to gain; but all
schedules were abolished by that mule, and clods
were vain. All my better years were sQuandered in
this slow and futile way; up and down the field
wandered, slow'as goose grease, through the day.
And the mule-at last l sacked her, and took up a
fountain pen sore because the useful tractor had
not been invented then.

The latest development in the fed
eral officers "clean up" of the booze
in the district is the adding of "Home
Made" beer to the list of LIQUORS
which are prohibited by the war time
prohibition act 1t is said that rec
ords are being kept by the depart
ment of justice officials of the ma
terials being shipped into the district
to make "Home Made Beer" and that
the parties that have received such
material during the past few months
may be called to account by the de-
partment of justice, provided they
have really made the beer. The Of
ficers of the department of justice
have followed rather unique tactics
in getting hold of the booze if all re-
ports be true. 1t is said that they
go to the houses where wine has been
stored, get sample, seal the con-
tainer, send the sample to chemists
and if the alcohol contents exceed the
amount allowed by law the wine is
confiscated and a warrant is sued
for the maker.
Something like 10000 gallons of
good wine has been captured and
over hundred people are in the
tolls of the activities of the depart
ment of justice in an attempt to fully
enforce the provisions of the war
time prohibition act.

man is engaged upon some civil mat
tiers today but will reserve the hear
ings in these liquor cases Monday.

THE SUGAR PRICE

TINE action of Attorney General Palmer in mott
flying beet sugar companies that they are ex-
pected to sell their product at 10 cents pound
seaboard basis, might be made the occasion of sew
eral interesting legal questions That an Individual
sugar producer could be convicted of profiteering
for selling his output at price above 10 cents a
pound unless it could be shown that he was thereby
making excessive profit his investment, is GER
tainly open to question. Some companies, on &C.
count of short crop and high operating costs, will
make little or no profit on the 10-cent price.
The price stipulated by Department of Justice
is exactly the price previously established by voun-
tary action of leading sugar companies.
The fact that sugar was put on sale before fac
tories had fairly started on their slicng campaigns
that shipment was promised at the earliest possible
moment and that the basic price voluntarily estab-
shed was two to five cents pound less than might
readily have been obtained affords practical evil
dence of desire Of beet sugar companies to place

Yuma Sun, Nov. 15)

Last night Jim Edwards, one of the
members Of the realty firm of Ed
wards Brothers, gave "Brides"
party to which nine recent brides of
Yuma were invited to attend. With
the brides of course were their hus-
bands.
Nine times Mr.. Edwards has seen
one of his intimate friends step up
to the altar and take a bride, and
nine times he has been left at the
station when the train pulled out on
the honeymoon. Jim says that as he
did not get any of the nine brides
that at least he could give them all
a dinner. So last night the nine
brides and their husbands gathered
around the festive board at the
Southern Pacific hotel and until late
hour made merry.
Mr.. Edwards had on the banquet
board everything good that could be
procured at this time of the year and
needless to say the young people had
a time they will not forget for many
a day.
Those enjoying the hospitality of
Mr.. Edwards were: Mr.. and Mrs. Joe
Huss, Mr.. and Mrs. "Dick" Wilson,
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Westover, Mr..
and Mrs. Paul Ketcherside, Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry C. Westover, Mr.. and Mrs

Fraser, Mr.. and Mrs. VIM Fisher, Mr..
and Mrs Jack Borer, Miss Eleanor

dents at the Yuma union high school

At meeting of the board of trus-

yesterday at the office at the Second
avenue building with all of the trus-
tees present, it was decided to in
crease the pay of all grade teachers
the sum of $40 per month. The in
creased pay will take effect Monday
which is the beginning of the third
month. The increase was made on
account of the prevailing high price
of living in Yuma and to bring the
pay of Yuma teachers up more near
ly to the level paid to teachers in
other cities of Arizona.
Yesterday was also pay day and
the trustees signed the pay vouchers

Another newspaper, Las Noticias'
in commenting on the situation, says;
Hostile To British Capital.
"Sir Reginald Tower is being re
called and Senior Toledo is returning
because King George has not re-

THE occasion for the present situa-

British government to recognize the
purchase OF the Bahia Blanca but the
real cause underlying the crisis is the

According to a current version OF the
matter an effort is being made to en-

paid seven million pesos, the deal being
made thru the Swedish government.
