nursing human mothers into the
arena instead of cows. We might
criticize them severely for lack of
delicate feeling.
Mr.. I. Dupont, president of the
great Dupont company and train
ed scientist, predicts among future
possibilities these:
Synthetic food, prepared by
chemists, taking the place of eggs,
butter, milk, beef, etc.
Artificial wool, which would
make sheep unnecessary for their
fleece, after doing away with the
necessity for mutton.
Complete conquest Of disease,
which would mean saving untold
billions every year.
Storing up the heat of the sun,
which would give free or very
cheap light and power.
Light without any heat. The
lightning bugs understand that
now, we don't.
Great reduction in hours of
sleep, adding four hours day, 20
years on the average, to a mans
working life.
An interesting program, but as
every scientist will tell you, it
does not begin to enumerate the
possibilities.
Bessie Rogers gets a divorce be-
cause she has "been crying her
eyes out" about her husband.
And she is only %.
When Napoleon III was en-
peror, some mysterious person re-
peatedly fastened to the tall
column with Napoleon's statue on
it, in the Place Vendome, verses
which meant "if all the blood that
thou hast spilled could be gathered
in this square thou wouldst drink it
without bending down."
That hurt the feelings of Napo-
leon III, proud of his great reputa-
tion, but it was true.
If you could gather together all
the tears that women have shed,
"crying their eyes out about their
husbands" as Mrs. Bessie Rogers
did, they would flood the whole of
Omaha and overflow into the river.
Mussolini increases the pay Of
soldiers so that they are as we'll
paid as civilian workers. That's
an echo of old Rome. They took
good care of soldiers in those
ancient days that Mussolini ad-
mires and would bring back.
A contented army means safer,
dictator.
The old plan was to give land to
the old soldiers and whatever they
take to the young ones. Good pay
probably will do as well.
There are many kinds Of wealth
in the United States-cotton,
wheat, corn, gold, silver, IRON cop
per.
But the greatest crop Of all is
the crop of American girls for
what America is to be depends
upon what they are.
The best possible. crop news Is
found in the statistics of Vassar
college. The college girl Of today
is nearly two inches taller than her
sister of 1884. The modern girl
weighs more, has a larger waist
measurement, and greater lung
capacity.
These statements mean stronger
mothers, better babies, and there
fore a greater country.
Most important is the waist
measurement, which has increased
from an average of %, to an aver
age of 25 inches in young girls.
Thirty inches would be better,
strong muscles around the waist in
stead of a strong iron corset is
what women want. Look at the
Venus of Milo and you see the
perfect type.
A woman medium, quite sure
that she could call spirits from
the vastly deep and make them
talk, is ordered by her husband
not to make the tests before
scientists.
He says the conditions would
not be "psychic." Those condi-
\ntions would be to demonstrate
wireless telegraphy, the reality of
messages by radio, chemical reac-
= tions or anything else, that actu-
ally happens. :,
WHY scientists, so-called, should
dignity spooks and ghosts by sug-
gesting foolish scientific tests" is
not easily understood.
AS we'll offer a reward to any
BODY that will prove the truth of
