Crytaesthesia Saves Woman
Fight, Mr.. Singh
Boss Murphy Will Learn
By Arthur Brisbane

biggest steamship, uses less than a
gallon of gasoline per mile in her
flight of 2200 miles. A big ocean
steamer would need two tons of coal
to one gallon of gas for a giant flyer.
That shows the difference in power
needed to push aside light air and
heavy water and it tells you how
cheaply men will travel in years to
come if they get rid of that "all the
traffic will bear" slogan. 1t is quite
probable that in future one days work
will earn the actual cost of a flight
around the world.
Professor Richet, of the French
Academy of Medicine, says woman
possesses a faculty, called "Cryptaes-
thesia." That's a scientific name for
intuition, woman's strange power to
judge character at a glance, her abil-
ity instantly to tell truth from false
hood.
"Cryptaesthesia" is older than the
French Academy of Medicine, older
than the pyramids. Women prac-
ticed that faculty a hundred thou
sand years ago, when their husbands
came wandering in late from the cave
across the valley. It's their one safe
guard.
A baby kangaroo born in the Chi
cago zoo is an inch long, about as
wide as lead pencil. Once born, it
climbs into its mothers pouch and
stays there seven months, while its
legs grow strong.
A giant grizzley bear has a baby
than a kitten. Nature is hard
on women. But science will fix that
one of these days.
st. Nihal Singh, one of 300,000,000
Asiatics ruled in India by few
thousands of miles away,
has a grievance. When family mem
bers of the British empire meet, Can
ada, Australia and other colonies of
European stock are represented by
elected delegates. India's vast crowd
is represented by men selected by
AS usual, the trouble is within. It's
he same if you lack force in yourself
some outside force will rule you
Among the 300,000,000 Asiatics of In
liza there dwell 100000 Englishmen
md they rule the 800, 100000, although
hey are Outnumbered 5000 to one.
Gould Mr.. Singh imagine one English
nan keeping down 5000 Irishmen!
In these days you only get justice
when you fight for it. Even then it
S slow.
In 5000 years, India has written
Millions of different books And in
Ill those books the word 'liberty'
Ices not once appear. That's the
rouble with India. Some day man
will come along, not Ghandi, trying |
o fight Manchester with spinning
With thick hairy wrists, coarse hands, |
hort stubby fingers. He'll let India |
,lect her delegates to the British EN-
,ire's family reunion.
William PastOriO is in Jail for
hrowing cat out of the window,
nd the supreme court says it is I'M
constitutional to pass a law that would
prevent driving thousands of young /
hildren into mills and factories.
Write that on your tablets. We can
,rotect cats, not children.
Charles +. Murphy, who demands a
vet plank in the Democratic platform
or 1924, twas firing a shot at Nc
Idoo's ambition" according to politi'
al reporters. McAdoo will welcome
uch shooting. Before 1924 ends each
will be trying to prove him
elf dryer than the others.
Mussolini increases the pay of sol
iers so that they are as well paid as
william workers. That's an echo OF
Id Rome. They took good care
f soldiers in those ancient days that
Iussolini admires and would bring
ack.
A contented army means safe die
ator.
The old plan was TO give land to
he old soldiers and whatever they
ould take to the young ones. Good
ay will probably do as well.
