are as badly clothed as ever. But they seem
animated by more energetic spirit "They
have more and more the air of having some
thing to do, whereas year ago they had the
appearance of having nothing to do !.
and nothing to look forward to.
The change for the better may be noticed
in the shop windows, in the fact that the
streets are kept cleaner. Railroad service is
appreciably better. The street car, the cleo
trio lighting and gas system = in Moscow, at
least - are better than year ago.
The Red Bear, gaunt and weak, but with
renewed interest in life and a desire to do,
is slowly emerging from his den. Recovery
will be slow. But it's started - according to
Garner.

And then there are others who are
not definitely allied with any group,
but who may be requistioned as can
didates. There, is Roberto v Pes
guerra, who Represented the Obregon
government at Washington during the
early stages of the recognition nego-
tiations. Senior Pesqueira is close to
the present government and is known
as broad gauge man who might fit
in well to break the recognition dead
lock. There is also Eduardo Iturbide,
grand nephew of Emperor Iturbide of
Mexico. He is sound business man,
sane in his political convictions, allied
with no particular group, and we'll
thought of by all here. He also has
certain standing in the United States
due to his position as counsellor to
Secretary de la Huerta during the debt
negotiations last summer Felix F.
Palavicini, editor of Ell Universal, also
has been mentioned as a possible civil
ian candidate as opposed to military.
Emeterio de la CARA already has
formally announced himself from
Havana as a presidential candidate,
saying that Mexico needs Messiah
and that he proposes to be cast in that
role. His antecedents, however, are
not such as to lend seriousness to his
announcement, 1t is also assumed that
Senior Miranda Zunigs, perennial
candidate, who has contested in every
election since the early days of the
Diaz regime, will again enter himself.
Issues and platforms have never in
truded much in Mexican politics,
where the contest is largely personal.
In general way, relations with the
United States will figure in party
declarations, with constitutional re-
forms, particularly in regard to Ar
ticle 81 and the agrarian law, as points
of discussion. i

YOUR CAREER.

If you weren't born to be super-man, you'll
never be one Every human being is born into
the world with the potential ability to develop
just so far but no farther.
This theory, about any individuals limita-
tions, is advanced by DR.. H. H. Goddard
psychiatrist at Ohio State University.
1t sounds reasonable, since we all know that
we cannot build skyscraper out Of one load
Of bricks. Some of us are more gifted than
others Also, we lack certain powers that
nothing on earth can possibly develop
Max Rubner years ago penned a similar
idea: "For every pound weight of his body
at maturity, the average man produces and
consumes $4,000 calories Of energy before he
dies Death comes when he has consumed
that amount. Nothing that he can possibly
do will make his body produce during adult
life more energy than the 10000 calories
and nothing can possibly prevent his death
when this amount of energy is produced"
Accepting Rubner's theory, you can over
work or dissipate SO that you will use up your
potential energy sooner than if you live slow
" and sensibly. That's why loafers outlive
the hard workers who are like furnaces that
burn with the drafts open and so empty the
coal bin quickly.
Rubners theory was that our potential
physical strength is limited, that it is imposs-
bic to increase it past a certain point God
dard has a similar idea about natural abi-
ties
However, no one should be discouraged by
these theories Each of us has enough po-
tential strength and ability to make US rea-
sonably successful-if we develop them
No man. not even an athlete, ever de-
velops his power fully. No matter what rec
ord man makes, he has within him the pow
err to beat that record. Occasionally we think
we have exerted ourselves ito the last ounce
Of strength but that's imaginary
Look at your work, as you have done it.
Maybe there are others who could do it
better
But you also can improve on it,
Just because we can't all finish first in the
race is no reason why we shouldn't try to get
second place
And the ultimate result? The runner who
finishes first developed his power to finish
first by constantly struggling and training un-
til ne got out of second place.
Yes, we are limited and know it without
professors telling us, but none of us is as lin
tied as he thinks he is

The Referee
COAL

When we export coal we are rob-
bing posterity, railroad president
warns. Evidently he is afraid our de-
scendants will not have enough fuel.
His fear is groundless America has
sufficient coal, unmined, to last over
1000 years at the rate it is being con-
sumed now And long before that 1000
years are un, coal will be out of date,
fuel being secured by disintegrating
atoms, storing sunlight, and so on
There is never a real shortage of
coal. The shortage is in mine labor
and transportation. Solution of the
fuel problem eventually will come by
burning the coal at the mines to gem
crate current for country on an cleo
trical basis.

Five hundred thousand Russians will die
from hunger and disease caused by under
nourishment, this year, before the 1928 crops
are harvested.
We get this in letter from William Gar
ner, former American newspaperman, now
connected with the American relief organiza-
ton in Russia
FIVE hundred thousand may seem like a
big figure, and it is. But in the autumn of
1921 nearly "a millions were starving in the
Russian famine districts, out of their total
population Of AZ millions.
In the year that followed writes Garner,
not more than 100000 Russians died from
famine. This is the estimate of some of the
leading American officials who have been
feeding the hungry over there
American relief broke the backbone of the
famine. The lives we saved probably run into
the millions A good job, we'll done.
One OF the greatest handicaps to Russian
recovery, says Garner, is that SO many horses.
cows, sheep and goats were killed for food.
American relief, however, put the brakes on
that.
Garner writes: Russia will not be able to
iced It's children properly until the cows and
goats are brought up to the normal number.
And It will not be fully able to take advant-
age OF its agricultural land until it's draft
horses are again equal to their pre-war num-
Der or replaced by motor cars and tractors. /"
Carriers report struck us as interesting
enough to pass along, especially because it
conveys the idea that lot of the reports from
Russia have been exaggerated. He quotes
American officials as estimating that the
number Of Russians actually starving this
winter does not excel 100000. Our char
ity representatives have the situation in hand
about as well as could be expected, both in
the matter of food and medical supplies. For
one thing, the cholera and typhus epidemics
are getting under control
Garner sums up the general Russian stu
alton by saying that there has been a pro.
nounced change for the better. The people

CHUGGING ALONG.

ozoNA, TEXAS.
When Lizzie departed her paint fairly shone,
No fivver had more metropolitan tone
But now; oh, it's awful how shabby she's grown,
Yet still she keeps chuggng along,
Going strong,
Cheerfully chugging along!
Hen wheels and her tenders covered with muck
Of one dozen states, and she looks like truck,
But still, with her most undenable pluck,
Miss Lizzie keeps chugging along!
New York and New Jersey and Maryland, too,
The two Carolinas, Virginia you
Could she, if you her, what travel do
Though Lizzie keeps chugging along,
Like song,
Peppily plugging along.
There's there's dust Alabama supplied,
We carry much Georgian soil
With mud Mississippi took to provide
AS Lizzie went chugging along.
From Louisiana there's sticky black stuff,
There's Arkansas clay, which is guey enough,
But though half the roads have been sticky rough,
Miss Lizzie keeps chugging along
The black mud of Texas, the dust of her plains,
Is pastered Lizzie-and there it remains
But STILL though she's three sets of chains
Miss Lizzie keeps chugging along.
Going strong,
Happily chugging along!
Her curtains fastened with string and with pins,
She rattles and squeaks each day begins,
And yet on her journey she merrily spins,
MISS Lizzie goes chugging along
No road is too rough and no mud is Deep
From crag unto crag she will merriy leap
At times she race and at times she must creep,
But Lizzie goes chugging along
Yes somehow gets there she'll plough she'll climb
When big cars lie down in the or the slime,
And we'll get to Frisco 0. X. and time
AS Lizzie keeps chugging along,
Going strong,
Consistently chuggng along

DO YOU KNOW 1T?

Astronomers announce that an explosion,
probably the greatest in our history, took
place February II out among the stars. Beta
Ceti, star of the second magnitude" or bril-
liancy, suddenly famed up and became one
of the brightest stars-technically known as
first magnitude"
What the astronomers really mean, is that
the explosion took place 80 years ago and that
it became visible to us February II.
Beta Ceti is so. far away from our earth
that it takes light, travelling 10000 miles a
second, 80 years to reach us. In other words
when we look at this star, we see it as it ex-
listed in 1843.
What is it like now? No way of knowing
until 80 years hence, in the year 2003
A man 10 feet from you looks up and sees
you at certain instant. Farther away, 100
feet behind him. another man looks up at
identically the same time. But the second
man sees you fraction of second later than
does the first man, since it takes the light
waves fraction of second longer to reach
him. The fraction is enthusiastically small, of
course. 1t increases with distance.
You've noticed a similar phenomenon if
you ever looked out at sea and saw smoke
come from cannon before you heard the re-
port of the explosion The explanation here
is that light waves travel faster than sound
waves.
When you look up into the sky at night, you
see the stars not as they are today but as they
were at various times in the past The time
depends on their distance.
Suppose there were people living on Beta
Ceti.
There couldn't be, as we understand things,
because of the intense heat up there. But
just suppose. And suppose also, that an
astronomer on Beta Ceti has telescope pow
erful enough to enlarge our earth sufficiently
to see what's going on here.
Since it takes 80 years for light waves to
travel between our earth and Beta Ceti, that
astronomer is seeing what happened on earth
80 years ago. It would be 1908 before he
could see what is happening here today.
Apply the same idea to more distant stars,
and people on them would be peering through
their telescopes today watching the Battle of
Waterloo, the building of the pyramids fu-
neral of King Tut-and so on, according to
distance.
This is what Einstein has in mind when he
says that time is relative, not fixed and abso-
lutte. If you ponder the idea, it will impress
you that in the universe there is not really
any present, past or future All is an Etern-
al Now Tis is delusion of our senses. A
light-wave-image, of everything we do tray
els on forever into space. All is eternal

ELECTRIC

One out Of every four tons of coal
mined in America is consumed by the
railroads. .
Obviously, the first logical step to
end coal shortages would be to cleo
trify the roads. This would save
coal. Also it would release thousands
of cars now tied up hauling coal TO
points where it is stored until loco
motives take it aboard.
On the other hand, the "transpor-
tation problem" may be merely the
waning of railroads that run on
tracks. We may be on the verge
