Marr;ng Theories of Mars

~ )NCLUOlONO OIL D. ". foILS' VI Lne ClA-
cinnati Observatory align him with
the conservative school of astronomy
that believes neither in the canals of the
planet Mars nor the Availability Of the plan
et Mars will be comparatively near the
earth these next two summers and we may
as we'll prepare for plenty of speculation on
the suppostitious MartianS and their doings,
if any.
By Comparatively near" however, dis
lance of thirty-five millions of miles from
the earth is meant, which is not exactly a
crowding position, judged by terrestrial
standards. The best telescopes can bring
the planet to an apparent distance of $4,000
miles, and it is assumed for present purposes
that we cannot bring Mars in the telescope
to a place where we can see it as clearly as
we could see with the unaided eye at dis
lance of $4,000 miles.
That is about what we can see OF the
: m DON with an opera glass; and we can under
stand readily the impracticability Of descry-
y ing any works" cunceivably by anything
: like our own race.

: low zero. This would mean an absence OF
: water as we know it, and with an at
mosphere of not more than one-fourth that
of the earth per unit of surface, it appears
plain to the layman that any life existing
on Mars must be radically different from
that on the earth.
Still, it is unsafe 10 assert flatly that there
can be no life that much different from ours

THE MIND IN THE MAKING
By DR.. Frank Crane

Dy LIZ dIh OIdnG
Inc progress of mankind is from noise to
!. Even as, the development of the universe Is
from chaos to stars, from nebular drift to
planetary orbits.
Carlyle said something to the effect that
every truth is musical
Inc most distressing fact about our cities is
that they are noisy. 49,
The streets are full of the din of trucks
numbering over rough cobble stones of street
cars and elevated trains crashing along in
deafenening violence and, as if this were not
enough, the newSboyS and hawkerS add their
human stridence to the wild cacophony.
1t IS wonder that human beings can adapt
themselves to this racking cla1gor, and that we
can have any gentle thoughts whatever, or any
acts OF order and of peace, in the midst of such
uproar ~
There is one reason why this noise is per-
mittea' ana that is that we are all still such
savages and so thinly veneered with civilization
that we like it. We even take pride i'm the
city's~intolerable racket and are lonesome when
we nave to sleep in the country u1accompanied
by any sounds except those OF the kalydlds
One OF the most recent additions to the civic
hubbub is The brazen throated, automobile horn.
What the motor car has gained in the silence
or Its rubber tires it as made up by the Shrek
ing chorus of its sirens.
that if something is not done to mitigate the
footing of motor horns nervous disorders will
seriously increase, and he even claims to have
tracked new malady which he blames entirely
upon the discordant blasts from taxicabs.
The remedy suggested IS simple
He would have law passed making il COM
nulsory to tune all motor car horns to the
arpeggos Of certain key. Thus, if the key OF
be selected, one tabicab will be footing in c.
taxi Number will be yodeling in E, Number
will take The more strenuous note of G.
while Number might complete the octave
with high c.
If something like this could be done, the
thick stream of automobiles along Fifth Avenue
might be zone grand sweet song" And in
stead of the roar of the street drowning ones
conversation and stunning ones thought as if
with combination of the cries of all the
beasts escaped from menagerie, the
bombardment of besieged city. the tumult of
Niagara, and the wrath of all the angry gods of
Olympus, we ladies might do our shopping to
the music of the band even as we take our
lunch to the seductive blessings Of the
orchestra.

The Mediaeva7 Breakfast

~ ACK in the fifteenth century it was no
~ small part of job to operate the
household, especially if it happened to
be noble household, with a good deal of
entertaining to do. The shops were of a diff
ferent type There were no telepho nes-aot
an unmxed drawback, at that-and provi-
sions had to be procured and stored a good
while in advance, being not convenient to the
great estates.
We are given an informing picture of home
life of that era, from which this description
of breakfast is taken, in "The PASSIONS and
Their England" by H. S. Bennett Cambridge
University Press, and it is to Margaret
Pastor that we are indebted for the meal.
The menu, then, is of the period of the
Wars of the Roses 1t reads:
"For the Nurcy, for my Lady Margaret, and
Master Ingeram Percy. Item: a Manchet a
Quartz of Bere Dysch of Butter Pece of
Saltfisch a Dysch of Sproitts.'
Quite elaborate fare; it we could but in
terpret it. The "Qu 4rte of Bere," if spelled
Theoretically, is plain enough, however
"Sproitts' is Cor are) indefinite. The salt
fisch" also is plain ID homely, and formed
the piece de resistance of breakfast for "My
Lads Gentyllwom en-" which was simpler:
Item: Loot of Brede Pottell of Bere
a Pece of Saltfisch."
"Bere'' and "saltfisch' went together for
all the world like the later but now extinct
beer and pretzels. Luxuries came from over
seas-dates and oranges being scarce and
highly priced in those saltfishy days.

friends, who knew OF one Of Henry Pom
eroy Davison's little superstitions, Won
dered today Il he carried his favorite rab-
bits foot to the fatal operating table.
For many years the banker wore on his
watch chain little golden tube In which
a. rabbits foot was encased. It Is re-
lated that when Mr.. DAWSON was pre-
scented to the King Of England at Buck
ingham Palace during the war, His Brit
tanic Majesty remarked on the meteoric
career Of the junior Morgan partner in
the world Of international finance. Davi-
son replied jocularly that whatever sue
cess had come to him was attributable
to the rabbits foot, which brought him
incessant and unfailing luck. II picked
1t up from the street on the way to
my first job he used to explain, "and
It's never left me SINCE" Europe was SO
full Of American Red Cross warriors in

Mr.. Davison's inveterate appearance in
citizens clothes always excited wonder.
He had the rank Of a brigadier general,
but insistently eschewed a uniform. The
late bankers chief aide In Red Cross
affairs at home and overseas was Ivy L.

was deeply attached.
Taxation without representation, =
which caused a historic rumpus In these
parts 146 years ago, once again Is the
ground for bitter complaint. This time
1t Is the Cinderella of the Republic. the
disfranchised District of Columbia,
which Is in rebellious mood. To make
the taxpayers Of the district supply<the
100000 revenue required for its admin
istration, Congress purposes an increase
OF 80 per cent in the tax on real estate.
Hitherto the tax rate has been based on
a two thirds property valuation. Under
the projected increase. taxes would be
computed on full valuation. District
residents and property owners are in 8
state Of high dudgeon over the proposal.
They aver they have no objection to con-
tributing to the support Of their home
government, but protest against being

WASHINGTON, May e.-Substitution
of an international commission for d.
rect diplomatic negotiation as a method
of handling the question of recognition
Of Mexico, is being given serious consid-
Grafton by the Harding Administration.
If adopted, the proposal, which was dis
cussed with the President by Senator
Bursum Of New Mexico, it is expected to
provide the means of making the head
way toward adjustment Of relations be-
tween the countries. not now obtafEable
by the conversations going on In Mexico
City between Foreign Minister Pant and
George Summerlin, American Charge
d'affaires
The Government. it was learned, would
not hesitate TO respond favorably to a
suggestion from Obregon that an inter
national commission be appointed, but
thus far no such proposal had emanateu
from south of the Rio Grande.
In any event there is to be no change
In the policy of the United States toward
Mexico. Cautiously, but firmly, the Ad-
ministration is insisting upon guarantees
against confscation OF American proper
ty in Mexico as the prime requisite to
recognition. Until Mexico, in treaty
gives adequate assurance that the prop
erty of American citizens will not be
seized under the provisions of the Carran-
"a constitution of 1917, there will be nc
recognition.

HARRISON SAYS
FINANCES HAVE
BEEN BUNGLED
Declares Budget Is Being
Practically Ignored by
Administration.

WASHINGTON, May o,-The Harding
Administration has been charged with
"bungling the budget" by Senator Pat
Harrison, Democratic spokesman in the
Senate, during debate on the tentative
deficiency appropriations for the COM
inf fiscal year.
Harrison charged the Administration
would spend $4S4 ,000, 900 more during the
coming year than had been provided for
various functions Of the Government I'M
der the budget system. He declared the
budget was being ignored by practically
every governmental department.
''The Secretary Of the Treasury first
estimated that appropriation deficits
for the fiscal year 1922 would total $751;
100000" said Harrison. Now the Sec
rotary declares that the estimate Of $751;,
600 900 has increased under the alleged
splendid management of the new Ad-
ministration to S4s4o0o. oOo and that this
will be the amount Of deficits for the
coming fiscal year.
+ "Of course, there may be another mis-
take. 1t may be more than this amount
when the true facts are known. Any
way, the Secretary has admitted that his
first estimate was wrong, and that there
has been great increase in the deficits.
He attributes it largely to the decrease
in the proceeds from income taxes. /
think that is true.
There Is depression everywhere. No
body is making any money under the
promised prosperity Of this Administra-
ton. 1t Is perfectly natural as result
that incomes should be greatly dimin-
ished. Republican Senator's who have
laid and are still laying claims to large
savings should study these deficits"

q
Tariffs Are Aim of Newly
Formed Grouping of
Senator's.
WARRINGTON NJ,

WASHINGTON, May e.-swinging in
wide are from California to New
Hampshire, the newly formed Senate
tariff bloc" gathers strength from
twenty different States to wage war for
tariffs favoring the agricultural interests
Of the Nation.
Differing from all other combinations,
the tariff bloc ignores support from
the minority and fills It's ranks solely
from the Republican side. The bloc
represents friendly little fight within
the Republican ranks with Western and
Mid Western Senators, backed by few
Fasteners, fighting the combined Re-
publican forces Of the East for tariffs
which would benefit the producers Of the
Nations farm crops.
A Democrat would describe the rivalry
as fight between the manufacturer and
the producer. AT any rate, the bloc
showed sufficient strength in the pre-
lminary clashes to demonstrate that 1t
held a whip-hand in the tariff fight.
In voting, Of course, the "bloc" would
gain strong support from the Demo
cratic side and actually must do SO to
carry Its pet" amendments to the per-
manent tariff bill as reported by the
Senate finance Committee.
The program as outlined by Senator
Gocding OF Idaho elected chairman Of
the bloc" was based on schedules ap
proved by the national farm organiza
tions, including the National Grange, the
| National Poultry Association, the Ma
tional Wool Growers Association, the
! American National Live Stock Associa
ton, the American Cotton Association
and the National Tariff Association.
Twenty five Senator's from the bloc.
