Lookin' Ahead
By Hal Cochran

mer is done, till nature a full course
Of beauty has run. The greens will
be turning to browns and to red.
And, what do you see, If you're
lookin' ahead?
A blanket of snow that has turned
the land white and made things
seem brighter and softer at night.
A pond that is frozen, where ska
ters may sway, and folks bundled up
in a horse-driven sleigh.
A curling of smoke from a CHM
ney near by and a haze of a snow
storm er-spreading the sky. A
fireplace where logs slowly crackle
and snap, and a youngster with ears
tucked far under his cap.
Coal man who's walking along
by his team and autos half frozen
and cicuded by steam. A jam in
the traffic, wind-beaten cop, and
Bottles with cream freezin' over the
top.
1t won't be so long now till sum-
mer is done, till sly old Jack Frost
starts at navin' his fun. Complain

Not Easy for Sargent

~ T is an awkward situation that faces John
l Garibaldi Sargent. He is just about to
have the role he cut out for himself on the ma
tional stage completely altered.
Summoned from his pastoral pursuit as
lawyer and lobbyist for the Boston & Maine
Railway in Coolidge's home State, to become
Attorney General of the United States, he
brought with him an effective makeup for the
part. A rugged, homely face, gentle, demo-
cratic manners, a wrinkled suit of homespun
and his rubbers in paper bag Just a shrewd
country lawyer who knew the law and was pre-
pared to enforce it regardless That was the
an old shoe.
But look what is coming to pass The
Aluminium Trust is under fire again. A year
ago when the Federal trade commission re-
ported, after investigation, that the aluminium
Trust is not a good trust but bad one and
should be prosecuted by the Attorney General,
President Coolidge let it be understood that he
regarded it as politics on the part of the pro-
BrtSSlNe MAJORITY III Une IrdQe commission. Inc
Attorney General-Sargent 5 predecessor
didn't prosecute. Subsequently President
Coolidge took steps to change the character
of the Federal trade commission and its ma
Jority ceased to be progressive. They do say
now that it is right down reactionary.
Yet look what it has handed to Attorney
General Sargent:
A new report on the Aluminium Trust
which asserts as emphatically as before that it
is bad trust, that it uses illegal and unfair
methods which take lot of money from house
wives and other users of aluminium and that it
should be prosecuted by the Attorney Cen
eral.
1t would look perfectly simple, if it
weren't for one fact. 1t would look like a
plain country lawyer, if it weren t for that
fact. That fact is that Andrew W. Mellon,
Secretary of the Treasury, strong man of the
Administration and colleague of Sargent in
the Cabinet was, is and apparently proposes to
continue to be, the main works in the ALUMNI
mum Trust

situation He tells, in series Of articles now
appearing this paper, just what the man from
Indiana or elsewhere can expect when he goes
to Florida.
The keynote Of his advice is ''be careful. p"
That is mighty good advice under any cir
cumstances when it comes to making invest,
ments. The man of small means can not al
ford to gamble. He can afford to invest for
wealth is brought about through investment.
There is opportunity for investment in
Florida. There is wider opportunity for
gambling. Florida has attracted real estate
sharks from all over the country, just as it
has attracted the legitimate dealer.
If you go to Florida GO there with your
eyes open. Go there determined to distinguish
between an investment and a gamble and be-
fore you lay down nickel be sure of what
you are doing.
Remember, the odds are always against
the inexperienced gambler when he sits in

well expressed by Robert Lots Ste
venson.
Few men who come to the islands
leave them" he wrote. "They grow
gray where they alighted. The palm
shades and the trade-winds fan them
till they die"
But the islands have suffered
from freebooters, slavers, whalemen
and beach combers.
Crowding of pearl fishers and
copra gatherers upon small islands
has completely changed the original
plant and animal life of many of
them. Whole tribes of natives have
disappeared from the face Of the
earth.
fF HAT is why Scientists regard
the Whitney expedition as
~ being so important. The sur
vey Of the islands had to be made
at once or it would have been i'm

Among the unusual birds gathered
by the expedition is the fairy tern.
1t is probably he most delicars and
ethereal of all sea birds. 1t is pure
white with unusually large eyes.

and when seen against the tropical
sun, the bird looks as though it were

wings become visible through the
plummage.

WHEN ARE WE
ALIVE OR DEAD?

1HREE hours after it came
into the world apparently
Ill dead an Anderson Qnd)
baby was brought to life by use
of a pulmotor borrowed from a
fire station. An hours applica-
ton was required to fan the tiny
spark of life to a glow.
When are we dead?
Man used to think he could
answer that question easily by say
ing persons are dead when they
cease breathing -or their hearts
stop beating. However, the
answer isn't so simple. In recent
years science has discovered that
the line between life and death
isn't so sharp, and well defined.
Pulmotors and artificial respira-
ton have restored to life persons
who have been drowned and who
ceased to breathe for many
minutes. A few months ago the
heart of a patient on the operating
table in Detroit stopped. By
massaging the organ the surgeon
set it going again and the patient
lives.
When the body is dismembered
and the fragments buried hither
and yon the result is generally con-
sidered fatal. However. a piece
of a chickens heart has been kept
alive and growing at the Rookie
Teller Institute for a number Of
years. Long since the fowl from
which the living tissue came
passed through the gravy stage
and is now roosting in the chicken
paradise.
That chicken, one would say, Is
dead. But not entirely so.
The boy who firmly believes that
when he kills the head end Of a
snake the tail will remain alive
and wiggling until shutdown per-
haps isn't so far wrong. Life
neither comes nor goes like flash
of lightning. The process is more
like the winding up and running
down of = clock. we eventually
die all over but not jat the same
instant.

A HUNDRED

DisCourtesy

EV7HAT is it that changes the disposition Of
wv so many people as soon as they sit be-
hind the wheel of an automobile?
There are thousands of people who are ex-
tremely polite and courteous as long as they
are not driving car
But as soon as they start driving they try
to crowd other people off the road, to cut cor
ners on pedestrians to force other cars to stop
so they can turn a corner and do countless
other things far more discourteous than they
would ever think of doing in their office or
their home.
Possibly such action is necessary in self
defense these days when so many auto drivers
seem to think they ought to have all the road,
but the automobile is certainly making this
country forget all about politeneSS and cour-
tesy.

N annual fight from the north
| AIor south pole to the equator
III a distance of more than 5000
miles-is a mere trife for many
species Of birds. This is one Of the
amazing discoveries made by the
Whitney South Sea Expedition Of
the American Museum of Natural
History.
Under the leadership of Rollo H.
Beck, veteran naturalist. an inten-
sive study Of the islands Of the tropi-
cal Pacific is being made.
Beck and his associates have found
birds in these islands whose nesting
places are in the arctic tundras. Yet
other birds whose home is in the
antarctic region and who fly toward
the equator as the long night settles
upon the south pole have been dis
covered in the islands.
The expedition seeks to obtain ac-
curate and scientific data concerning
the islands and particularly the bird
life. So far, many species of birds
never before caught or shot, have
been collected by the expedition.
This is the first time that a COM
prehensive survey of these islands
has ever been undertaken from a
scientific point of view.
Many scientists feel that the sur
vey was undertaken just. in time.
For, the arrival Of the white man
and civilization has upset the deli
cate balance OF natural life upon
these islands. They feel that in an
other twenty-five years, It may be
too late to seek traces of the natural
life which had previously endured
upon these islands for centuries.

HE MISSED
CHURCH

N7RRINE HOGAN, a young
man Of ST. Louis Crossing.
Bartholomew County, failed
to attend church. In consequence
he will have to spend the next
two years in the State Reform
atory.
He was convicted on a burglary
charge some time ago, but the
judge suspended sentence during
good behavior and on condition
that the culprit regularly attend
church. However. even that SIM
pie penance wasn't performed.
There is d direct connection be-
tween church attendance and crime.
Those who habitually indulge In
one seldom do the other. Only four
out of every 1000 young people
before a New York court for de-
linquency had attended Sunday
school, according to a recent re
port.
Many soft-hearted judges, though,
mistake the relationship between
church and crime. They think
compelling an offender to attend d.
vine service will work miracles
and regild badly furnished human
nature. They err.
To be efficacious in molding NOR
al character, compulsory church
or Sunday school attendance must
precede, not follow, crime. 1t is a
preventive, not a cure.
Nevertheless, judges continue to
impose such sentences under the
delusion that they can thus make
q refractory chunk Of human clay
sprout wings. AS far as the moral
effect on the culprit, he might as
we'll be sentenced to stand on one
foot on a prominent corner once
