Voliva Disproves
 the Law of Gravity
F * *

n NY man who will attempt to AA regulate women's dress is cap- able of snapping his fingers at the discoveries of learned scientists. Wilbur Glenn Voliva, overseer of Zion City, is such a man. With a book, toy balloon, a brick and a feather Wilbur proved to. his own satisfaction that Newton's law of gravitation is as much a back num- Der as the free and unlimited coin age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1.
 ''They write books on the law of gravitation,'" says Wilbur. "There is no such thing. How is it that the law of gravitation can pull up toy balloon and cannot pull up brick bat? I throw this book up. Why doesn't it go up? That book went up as far as the force behind it forced it and fell because it was heavier than the air. cut the string of toy balloon. It rises to a cer- tain height and then is begins to settle. take this brickbat and a feather. I blow the feather. Finally it begins to come down. The brick bat goes up as far as the force forces it up through the air and then it comes down. That is all."
 Fine! Any sage, who has spent most of his lifetime whiting stick in front of a country grocery store will agree with Voliva. "Seeing is believing" The fact that the force Wilbur used was not in opposition to the law of gravity had nothing to do with the demonstration. If he were to stand on top of tall building and release a brick, mere " because it fell downward and not

OLD AGE
By Cicero.

By Cicero.
 To those who have no recourse in themselves for living well, every age Is burdensome. We must fight against disease. Regard must be paid to health. Moderate exercise must be adopted. So much of meat and drink must be taken. Senile fol- ly. which is commonly called dotage. belongs to weak old men, but not to all. For, as 1 like young men in which there is something of the old. so I like old men in whom there is something of tho young. One who always lives in these pursuits and labors for the welfare of the state does not perceive when old age steals upon him.

By Percy Bysshe Shelley. The flower that smiles today
 Tomorrow dies; All that we wish to stay.
 Tempts. and then flies: What Is the worlds delight? Lightning that mockx the night Brief even as bright. Virtue. how frail it is!
 Friendship how rare! Love. how 1t sells poor bliss
 For proud despair. But we. though soon they fall. Survive their joy and all Which ours we call. Whilst skies are blue and bright.
 Whilst flowers are gay. Whilst eyes that change ere night
 Make glad the day. Whilst yet the calm hours creep. Dream thou--and from thy sleep Then wake to weep.

vALoR AND vIOLINs

From the Chicago News.
 Kubelik's devotion to his violin shines as good deed in a naughty world. In the first shock of q col lision on the English channel the de- voted Jan's one thought was to put a life preserver on his Stradivarius. "A man can save himself" explained the eminent violinist. but violin cannot"
 Such solicitude by an artist for the mert instrument of his art is rare indeed. In the modern world it could be displayed only by 8 violinist with his Stradivarius or his Amati. To find a parallel it is necessary to go back to the pladins and other peerless swordsmen and their blades from fa- nous forges. Kubelik without his Stradivarius would be like Siegfried without Balmung or Roland without the sword Durandal, than which he would rather have lost the right arm that wielded it." The musician is dedicated to an old and tried violin as King Arthur was dedicated to Ex- calibur.
 Great craftsmen no longer serve great artists. and cheap factory tools, however. efficient, spoil sentiment. Of course, it must be admitted that the violin is naturally romantic in- strument and that more heroics seem allowable to the violinist than to any other musician. Saxophonists per- haps may become attached to their instrument. But a temperamental saxorhonist valoriusly forgetting self to save his saxophone the world probably will not soon see

"The majority of children certainty do read the sporting pages in the papers and all are interested in ath~ letics,r said c. k. West. The other day we were having a lesson III English and were discussing short story writing. I asked the pupils if Try Cobb was a short story writer and they replied he was ball player.
 Then I asked about Babe Ruth and they knew his record for the year and how much it beat his last years record in home runs. then asked who Irving Cobb was and one little boy made a guess saying he played with Brooklyn, but one of the children knew anything about him. However, l am sure now that they all know of this humorist as they have been reading his stories since"
