Science

Great progress has been made by
science in the last two or three years
tn solving the mystery Of the origin
Of life on this planet
The real founder of this work was
Thomas Fraham. the father of colloid
chemistry. who gave out results of
his work in 1861 II attracted no at
tenuon, but later researches. now re-
garded as immensely important, start.
ed from his foundations.
Colloids are grouped molecules. The
cell which forms the basis of all ami
NAL and vegetable life Is a small par
ucle Of matter composed of these
grouped molecules. From such a
grouping, early in the history Of the
earth. life evolved
Chemical reactions were violent in
the early days of this planet, when
molten rocks we're cooling and heavy
rains drenched the earth's surface. A
recent theory III that a stroke Of light
ming caused union Of chemicals so
as to form the first organic compound
capable of developing into protoDIasm.
This might have been impossible ex-
cept for the power of the element car
bon which can unite its molecules end
to end and form long chains, these
chains sometimes forming rings by
uniting at the ends. The addition of
certain elements having the power of
wandering up and down these chains
made possible the development of pro-
toplasm and the formation of the cell.

HERE is a cry for a candidate
III for President who can raise the
IL bonus money by reducing
taxes
Melons plan to reduce taxes re
duces the Treasury income. All such
plans have this great fault.
Coolidge's stand against the soldier
bonus will cost him votes. but stand
Ing is better than lying.
The war vets deserve a bonus. The
taxpayers deserve a reduction. And
the sun deserves a rest.
The soldiers can't get their bonus
because the profteers have it.
Taxpayers can't get reduction be-
cause the tax-empts have it.
Make it legal for all war vets to
shoot craps with Loaded dice and they
will collect their bonus.
Every man knows how to reduce
his own taxes This is so simple.
Put them on the other fellow.
Let every ssvar vet throw rocks at
war profiteer two hours. 1t would
be better than bonus.
Teach the cops to lay bricks. They
could make millions in their spare
months. Collect it for taxes
; Rent the congressman out to ga
RACES for blowing up tires by mouth,
The income would cut taxes.
| If allowed to bootleg, our navy
could be self-supporting and pay off
the national debt in a week.
Give an ex-private a squad of ex-
sergeants to drill and he would for
get all about his bonus.
Put all ex-second looeys in uniform
and invite war vets to cuss them Call

Make all except war vets wear

| Order the street cleaners to turn
in all the dimes they find. This would
cut taxes a little.
| Let every war vet chase a flag

Put mail boxes In cellars and make
