THE NOBLE SIDE

o.oMETIMES the race Of man seems
y contemptible. Pettiness, mean
moss. ingratitude seem to be the
,h.racteristics of large portion of
.hs people who inhabit this globe.
Dean Swift, who wrote the greatest
:. al satires on the entire human
rsce said in one of his writings:
aThe race of men are the most con-
.ornt;ble vermin that the Lord ever
rsrmitted to crawl over face of Gre
alton"
INT the Gloomy Dean saw only the
,vorst side of human nature. There
!. also the noble, yes the sublime,
that crops out only in moments of
emergencies.
A tornado recently swept over a
,ar0e section of our country leaving
Death. destruction, and sorrow in its
wake. Within few hours the news
v.s broadcasted over the country
hv radio, newspapers, and wire. And
.imost Immediately relief was on the
nav. An emergency unit of the Red
Cross was established in every strick-
on town within few days. Hundreds
Of men from nearby communities,
donned their work clothes, and with
shovels over their shoulders, started
out to help their unfortunate friends
in nearby communities.
The call for financial aid went
forth, and people in almost every vii
laee and hamlet responded with no
be generosity. 1t will not be long
before the havoc wrought will be
largely repaired thru the gen.
erorsity of the American people.
The deeds of individual heroism
are too numerous to mention. From
the moment that the heavens struck
the unfortunate communities in IL
linois and Indiana the best side of
human nature came to the front.
It is in times of security, pros
perity, certainty that we show the
worst that is in US. In moments of
emergency even the worst of us can
show traits of generosity and hero
ism.

 Q. Who was the inventor of tho telescope? egy ~,
 A. The invention Of the telescope was doubtless accomplished in Hol- land, but there is some confusion and controversy in attempting to dc. termine the original inventor. Tradi- ton has 1t that early in the seven teenth century one Jansen. a speot- acle maker of Middleburg. Holland. constructed telescope 10 inches long which hc exhibited to Prince Maurice and the Archduke Albert. who, appreciating the importance of the discovery, paid him a sum of money to keep 1t concealed. Another spectacle maker Lippershey, made application ti60S) to tho States General for patent for telescope, us also did Metius, professor of mathematics, but in the former in- stance, at least, 1t was refused, as the apparatus was already known, It seems certain that the instrument WAS known more or less abont Eu- rope, but the honor of it's invention is usually given to Calico, who was the first to describe 1t and exhibit 1t In a complete form (f809.)

THE PERKINS sENTENCE

The sentencing Of Dorothy Perkins from to 15 years in the penitentiary for staying her suitor was a fairly mild sentence. as Inc girl probably will not serve more than five years. The case attracted great public attention and WAS com pared by many with the Macri case; yet there were important points of dissimilarity. What these were came out in the evidence.
 When the jury brought in Ner- dice of guilty the judge expressed his satisfaction saying it would bc a warning 10 other girls tha' they could not take life without facing the same hazards of punishment as man under similar circumstances, AS d matter Of fact few women who figure in such eases ever escape the hazards of trial; and altogether too many men in such circumstances never are caught.

BY CHARLES r. STEWART
 NEA Service Writer

Washington, June 23y -- Captain George Meyers of the United States navy is busy apologiEing 10 nineteen Washington newspaper men, one after another.
 He isn't permitted 10 herd them together and apologize to them in body, or 10 call them up on the telephone and get it over that way.
 He must traipse around from office 10 office, apologizing to them personally, separately and indi- vidually.
 One apology is bad enough. But 19 in succession--gosh.
 Meyers isn't doing this apolo- gizing voluntarily. Secretary of the Navy Wilbur sentenced him to do 1t, for spelling publicity stunt the secretary had his heart set on.
 Now. Wilbur saw q chance re- gently 10 get some swell advertising. The dirigible Los Angeles wHs due 10 make a trip from her Lakehurst, (N. J.) hangar down to Annapolis tie up to the mast of her mooring ship, the patoka, stay an hour or two. then fly over Washington, hook onto the Patoka once more for a short rest, and finally sail back to Lakehurst.
 "I'll have some Washington cor respondents go up in her while she's in this vicinity" thought the secretary They'll write up their trip and it'll be fine stuff for us"
 He began telephonmg 10 select ed list of correspondents--the big gest men in the business and known to him to be particularly interested in the navy. .s
 Tho notice was very short and some Of them found 1t hard to get away but Wilbur was insistent. He said 1t was their duty 10 go. They'd be royalty entertained too.

As favor to him, he asked f..
 The result was nineteen dis tinguished journalists at Annapolis the next morning--tho morning of the Los Angeles expected advent.
 But how 10 get to the Patoka, at anchor an hours sail down 7Chesa- pcake Bay? It seemed odd no ar- engagements had been made.
 However, the correspondent scar ed up launch, in due season haul cd alongside the moorlng ship, and started up the ladder.
 Capt. Meyers, smoking on the upper deck, sent an orderly to in- Eestigate the callers.
 "Whadda va want?" demanded the functionary harshly. The cor respondents told.
 The orderly reported 10 the cap tain - the visitors waiting. now sulkily, meanwhile who sent message by his executive officer.
 We cant feed 'ya," the latter informed them hospltahly.
 Here. you" sternly addressing one of the newspaper men, ''ya can't smoke here. Va better all go back to Annapolis" he continued, "and when the Los Angeles gets here, you can come' out in the bay and look at her--n ya wanta."
 
 Secretary Wilbur got some free publicity out of his little party all right, but it's doubtful if he cared for that kind. Tho next thing anybody knew Meyers had been summoned from the Patoka to the secretary's office to do a lot of explaining. Then be- gan his tour of apology.
 
 To a disinterested bystander it looks little as If the official who issued all those invitations and then forgot 10 provide for his guests en- tertainment would feel trihe , apologetic, too.
