A DAILY MESSAGE
BY DR.. WILLIAM G. BARTON
WHAT MAKES 1T LIGHT?

One of the achievements of the last
few years is an exploration of the
earths atmosphere higher and more
thorough than has ever been accom-
plished before. Not only have men as
cended to unprecedented attitudes, but
they have sent much higher balloons
with self-registering instruments. We
are beginning to learn about the air.
We learned long ago that as we rise
toward the sun we do not grow warm
but cold; we know that the tempera-
ture falls about one degree for each
300 feet of elevation for the first seven
miles.
If we could go up about 200 miles
we should find ourselves, not in bis
tering heat, but in a temperature
about 400 degrees below zero.
But we have learned a more sur
prising thing. 1t does not grow light
but grows dark. If we could rise 80
miles, we should see the stars at mid
day. In the full blaze Of the sun we
should be in darkness.
The energy of the sun which we
know as light and heat is not trans
mitted as light and heat, any more
than the electric current in the wire
is perceptible as heat or light while it
is in transmission.
The light becomes light when the
energy of the sun encounters the fric-
ton of the coarser molecules of the
atmosphere. The fine dust. which i'm
pedes the soIef energy and darkens
the light, is the real occasion of the
light.
This fact seems to me to- have help
full practical suggestion as well as
scientific value Perhaps if we knew
q little more we should discover that
those very qualities in life which APP
pear to impede our plans and darken
our hopes are essential to our highest
welfare.

| The mountain has come to Mahomet
Census returns show that Buffalo has
twice as many negroes as she had
ten years ago. Pittsburg shows big
increase. So does Chicago, and De-
troit and Kansas City, and in fact,
every northern center of any conse-
quence. At the same time, every
southern state and city thus far re-
ported, shows a relative decrease in
its colored population.
The problem which was once local
has become national Will the criti-
cisms of the north be transformed
into constructive treatment? 1t is
very doubtful. In Ohio, Indiana, IL
Illinois and other northern states whose
borders have long been parti-colored,
there is no evidence that the negro is
better off than in Florida, or that his
relation to the. white population is
more cordial. He works harder. He
finds fewer to trust him when he is
hard up. He is treated with scant
ceremony in the courts.
He votes more; but on a cold bust
ness calculation he gets less AVIAN
tage from it. There he goes to the
polls, loses a day from his work, gets
from two to five dollars apiece for his
votes. and blows it in on fire water
before he gets home Down here he
usually works on election day and
saves the amount CT his poll tax. If
he is intelligent enough to know what
he is voting for he pays his poll tax,
registers an votes without question or
annoyance.
But it is a good thing for the coun-
try that this problem is being present
ed to all sections alike, and also a
good thing that the dissemination of
the colored man is reducing his ratio
to the white persons in the United
States to one negro. Distributed on
that basis, the race problem would
cease to present much difficulty

ADVENTURES OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Down through the starht pool sank
Nancy and Nick, still clutching their
precious box of charms. Having on
their magical green shoes they felt no
discomfort under the water.
Just as their little star friend had
told them up in the sky. they found a
small door, so tiny indeed that they
had TO wish themselves as small as
the tiniest tadpole before they could
find the keyhole. Nick turned the
key and the door flew open. They
stepped inside quickly

Did Germany Win the War;

A disinterested observer looking over
the field of Europe, Immediately after
the close Of the great war, might well
conclude that Germany was the vic
| tor. He would have seen in northern
France on every hand ruined and dew
astated cities. homes destroyed, facto-
ries looted of their machinery, mines
flooded, orchards and forests ruthless
~ cut down and livestock driven off,
on every side evidence of the ravages
OF brutal and savage soldiery, with
out restraint, animated solely by the
lust for destruction and plumber. In
Belgium he would see the same, if
possibly less complete. only because
Germany calculated to retain Belgium
as a permanent possession.
Turning to Germany he would see
land untouched by war, with all it's
facilities unimpaired by the horrors
which it had imposed on its helpless
victims, its resources augmented by
the plumber of it's enemies, ready to
begin the processes of reconstruction.
Two years after the armistice which
ended the war, he would see that same
Germany fighting fiercely for the
trade of the countries with which she
warred, and gaining it too as the fig
ureS of her exports TO England ana
the United States fully prove, the
while she was sniveling and protesting
she could never pay the reparattons
which were demanded by the allies,
after almost interminable discussions
by leagues. councils and commissions.
IN the dissensions and conflicting am
billions of the allies, lies Germany's
strength and she knows it, and will
spare no intrigue and chicanery TO TO
ment those dissensions. Surely the
slppositious observer might be excus-
ed for concluding that Germany was
victorious in the war.
She can produce and pay If she be-
comes satisfied that evasion and bar
gaining will no longer avail to put off
the day of payment. It may mean
the rnortga ging of her resources for
more than one generation, but at that
it will be no more than just repara-
ton for all her crimes. The allies
should put all the pressure necessary
to force payment. without thought
of mercy.-The Tampa Daily Times.

Tho Optimistic comptroller.


Comptroller of the Currency John
Shelton Williams sounded the pre-
vailing note of optimism in has last
report to congress. He finds the
country in many respects on a sound
err basis economically than it has been
for years Inevitably deflation has
much needed adjustments" in retail
prices in many lines.
"Deflation has come" said Mr.
Williams, land prices of many basic
commodities and raw materials have
returned to pre-war- levels or below
It now remains for the midddeman to
adjust his profits to the new prices
before the ultimate consumer will
receive the benefit of the reduced
cost. of living"
Concerning the future outlook he
says further:
when conditions abroad become
stabilized, and when at home much
needed adjustments are effected in
the cost to the consumer of steel and
iron products, which are still quoted
at about twice their pre-war prices,
and when coal for which the govern
ment itself has paid in recent months
as much as four times the pre-war
price, get back to normal level our
country will be prepared to enter upon
a new, and let US hope long enduring
era of prosperity and healthy prog
ress." The overall fad ridicu1ed as
it was, famed the spark that started

An Oninous Alliance.

President PiduSki, of Poland, Jour-

NIT an act in direct violation of the
covenant Of the league of nations; he

and a treaty of defense and offense
between France and Poland was
signed, amid loud applause from the
lingo press of Paris; the treaty pro-
vided that France would come to the
assistance of Warsaw whenever any
power made war on her; Poland
would likewise come to the aid of
France.
