Tomorrow morning, Just after
midnight, summer begins off,
cially. The wise young man
win use these long days, in.
cluding hot summer days. when
others rest.
When the hare. lies down to
sleep, the turtle can win . race.
Many victorious race-winning
turtles will collect, as usual. at
the end Of this summer.
Tell that to your young man
who thinks the most important
thing in the world for him. 10 .
good, long vacation. Remind
him Edison's genius Ii 10 per
cent inspiration. 80 per cent
perspiration.
Summer is the time for per

Some that speculated yesterday
were happy for . while at least,
especially IL they bought Mexi-
can Petroleum. Judging by its
upward leaps and bounds,
amounting to almost fifty
points in q few, days. somebody
believes that Mexico and the
United States will soon be on
good business terms. Is
More important than the ups
and downs of stocks Is the
steady upward march of scien-
tific discovery. One man at
Johns Hopkins, after working
for years, has discovered q new
particular vitamin. He calls
II "Vitamin d" that builds up
bone. That discovery may put
an end to the disease called
ricketts, that kills thousands of
children. and makes others mis-
cradle cripples through life.
English scientists believe they
will soon bring about disintegra-
tion Of the atom. If man can
pull the atom to pieces, he can
harness up the power that holds
the electrons together with q
force inconceivable to US.
Remember it is no Jules
Verne, but q trained scientist
who suggests that with the dis
Indignation Of the atom man
could create and carry with him
"atomic units" with power
enough to move d great steam
ship across the ocean. ~ =

California does things rapid
ly. Frank yanderlip had 49,
600 acres, running fourteen
miles along the Pacific ocean,
just southwest Of Los Angeles.
He used It for vegetable gar
dening until e. G. Lewis saw
II. and saw in place Of vegeta-
Bile gardens q city of white
marble and red-tiled roofs. Be-
fore long. as you fly above the
Pacific near Los Angeles, You
will see that city reality.
They did it in the days Of
Aladdin by rubbing a lamp and
surnmoning Genii. They do it
now differently, but almost as
quickly. The modern lamp 10
q combination of enterprise and
advertising. E. G. Lewis
needed $15, 100000 to start his
city. He printed one eight
page advertisement in the
Los Angeles Examiner, then
four-page advertisement, then
page after page regularly for
three months. Now the Title
and Trust Company announces.
that the $15,000,000 is sub
scribed and the new California
city can start.
The people Of Los Angeles
say their city will be third in
the United States in 1850. You
only wonder at their modera-
tion. Given q good idea, a
good location, plenty of cour-
age, and good advertising, you
can do anything IN America.
Could anything be more use
less, more wasteful of scien-
tific knowledge than q "gland
transplantation to renew an
old mans vitality" unless that
operation also restored youth
! TO the MIND?
Nothing could be more pitt
ful or Objectionable than q
collection Of old men with ac-
tive bodies and dull minds.
Like concrete, the mind hardens
with age, new ideas cannot
penetrate it. The best thing
. man can do is to die when
the brain becomes hardened,
get a new brain, and come
back here again. To keep
old, solidified brains alive In
active vital" young bodies
would be an insult to .Provi-
