T 'oday Your Longest Days. Cheap Money, Stocks
 Up.
 New Vitamin for Bone. New California City.
 By ARTHUR BRISBANE

This week you will live through the years longest days" with mors than IS hours of sunlight each day. This morning. just after midnight. summer begins officially. The wise young man will use these long days. including hot summer days. when others rest.
 When the hare lies down to sleep the turtle can win a race. Many victorious race-winning turtles will collect as usual. at the end of thls summer.
 Tell that to your young man who thinks the most important thing in the world for him is a good. long vacation. Remind him Edison's genius is 10 per cent inspiration. 90 per cent precipitation. Summer is the time for the precipitation.
 Money for Wall street speculation cost only ATS again yesterday low interest rate. Some that spec uiated yesterday were happy for while at least. especially if they bought Mexican Petroleum. Judging by it's upward leaps and bounds. amounting to almost 50 points in few days, somebody believes that, Mexico and the United States will soon be on good business terms
 More important than the ups ami downs of stocks is tho steady up ward march of scientific discovery. One man at Johns Hopkins hospital, after working for years. has dis4 covered . new particular vitamin He calls 1t 'svitamin D." that builds up bone. That discovery may. put an end to the disease called rickets that kills thousands of children and makes others miserable cripples through life.
 English scientists believe they will soon bring about disintegration of the atom. If man can pull the atom to pieces he can harness up the power that holds the electrons to- Eetner WlIA 1orSo ihSOhSSaF1piS to us.
 Remember 1t Is no Jules Verne. but a trained scientist who suggests that. with the disintegration of the atom man could create and carry with him atomic units" with power enough to move great steamship across the ocean.
 We live on a driving wheel, the earth, and our problem Is now to harness up the power in that wheel 25,0oo miles around. instead of building little separate engines on the surface of the wheel.
 California does things rapidly. Frank yanderlip had 16,o0o acres running 1x miles along the Pacific ocean. just southwest of Los An geles. He used 1t for vegetable gar dening until E. c. Lewis saw it ana saw in place of vegetabie gardens. a city of white marble and rcd tiled roofs. Before long. as you fly above the Pacific. near San Francisco. yoa will see that city g reality.
 They did it in the days of Aladdin by rubbing q lamp and summoning genii They do it now differently but almost as quickly. The modern lamp is . combination of enterprise and advertising. E. c. Lewis needed 15.ooo.ooo to start his city. He printed one s-page advertisement In the Los Angeles Examiner. then 4-page advertisement. then page after page regularly for three months. Now the Title and Trust company announces that the s15,- 100000 are subscribed 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 moderation. Given good idea, good location. plenty of courage and good advertising. you can do anything in America
 Could anything be more useless, more wasteful of scientific knowl- edge than . gland transplantation" to renew an old mans vitality, un- less that operation also restored youth to the mind.
 Nothing could be more pitiful or objectionable than a collection of old men with active bodies and dull minds. The best thing a man can do is to die when the brain becomes hardened. get a new brain and come back here again. To keep old solid flied brains alive in active vital, young bodies would be an insult to Providence and q thwarting of it's pianA and 1t Is not likely that that will hs allowed.
 Explorers mourn because "the world will soon be all explored. notL- ing mora to discover" Climbers, . within few hundred feet of the top of Mount Everest, will probably reach the top. Then only our Alaskan Mount Mckinley will remain uncon- quered.
 Once 1t was the source of the Nile men sought. They though it came do-n from, Iynav., .,a xh.- *-.s,.s
