Who Is President?

EVERYONE knew that Calvin Coolidge
u was elected president of the United
States long ago. And then six months
after it is all over someone asks who is
president.
The teachers stationed at Umnak, a set
Element on the Aleutian Islands, who are
in the Alaska service, wrote to the bureau
of education of the department of the in
terror and wanted to know who had been
elected. The letter was received May 20.
1t seems impossible that with the tele-
graph, wireless and radio there should be
place on the globe that could not receive
news until it was six months old. Yet
such place exists.
Accepting the possibility of one such
place, it seems unique in backwardness,
but it is not. There were many places on
the globe that did not know there was
war in Europe until someone came to
their remote spot recruiting men.
Every day there are new inventions
made that shorten the distance around
the globe and yet these inventions have
missed many places.
The places that already have the best
facilities for getting news are the recip-
iants of all the new devices, but the
places that really need something new
will have to wait until il is 100 years old
before it will get TO them.

Conlparatiue AffIuence

A S regards national wealth, the United
n States must be awarded the palm,
for this country today is the Croesus
among the nations of the earth.
This fact cannot be ascribed wholly to
the war. altho it did add materially to
her opulence. The United States, even
before she became the worlds creditor,
was known as the financial Solomon.
The national wealth, estimated for
1922. is given in round numbers as $751;
000,000,000 The next richest country is
the United Kingdom, worth only $4,000
100000, trifle more than one-fourth as
much. France. Germany, Spain and Italy
follow in order, the latter with only $780,
000,000,000.
The United States has as much wealth
as all five principal European countries
combined, with enough left over to buy
virtually all the rest of North and South
America.
Asia is credited with being the most
populous, and it is generally conceded to
be immensely wealthy. However, India,
China and Japan are worth only one
quarter as much as the United States.
Asia could be bought, at current valua-
tons, for one-half the estimated worth
of this country with possibly Africa
thrown in.

BELLEFONTE. Pa, October IL
The body of Charles Ames, the air
mail pilot who disappeared 10 days
ago during regular flight with mail,
was found today on a mountainside
four miles east OF Bellefonte.
The plane was not badly wrecked
and the cargo Of mail was found IN
tact. 1t was believed the aviator, In
jured when the plane crashed. died OF
exposure.
The plane was found resting near
the top of a mountain and just beyond
a Hecla Beacon which guides air mail
pilots during night flying. This led
postal officials to the view that Ames
fell while trying ;to, make landing
near the light.
