Mars and Radio

Present interest in the plane. Mars. due to its
approach to the earth, brings the surface again
all sorts of vague theories and illusions about the
part radio might play in our attempts to commune
cate with the Martians.
If those ideas ever ring true, smash goes one OF
the finest pet theories ah.ut radio
That's the famous Heavisidc layer theory, evolved
by the late Prof. Heaviside Of England. On it is
based our entire belief to how radio waves are
transmitted and received. and solution to the
question why these radio signals don't fly directly
into space.
The Heaviside theory presuppases the existence
Of q mysterious layer perhaps magnetic. above our
atmosphere, about 100 miles up, which defects tho

Prof. Irving Fisher predicts that BY the end OF
the century America will have become nation OF
octogenarians. There will be young folks too at
that time, we surmise but we shall all have be-
come SO disgustingly healthy and the n1edcs will
have developed such miraculous efficiency that we
shall be gern,-proof. The result will be an un-
usual percentage Of old felix's hanging around wait
ing for their arteries to harden before booking
passage to the Jerusalem.
Still germs aren't the only things which make
life hazardous--and interesting. We may sterilize
society and fumigate it and put it on scientific
diet and give it setting up exercises every morn
ing and still leave it plenty Of opportunity to play
daily tag with DEATH =
The octOgenaran Ct the coming century must
have run the gauntlet Of government poisoned
hooch, of grade crossing, of automobile hit and
run speeders. of footpads and of government
seuths who shoot first and investigate AFTER The
process of getting to be 80 years old may be more
scientifically regulated in the future but it is bound
still to be an exciting one.

At Philadelphia the American Legion voted to
hold it's 1927 convention in Paris.

last summer and were inclined to question the wis

But they were showed under. The boys wanted
to 90 and France wants them to come as evidenced
by her sending two official welconers all the way
to the Sesqui city to say
So there'll be two American Legion conventions
next year instead Ct the usual one. The first, in
Paris, the advocate general says, will be unconsti
tutional, therefore second will be held in New
York to validate the decisions taken overseas. =
No sooner had this interesting and momentous
decision been announced than the Linconesque
figure Of John R. McQuigg, national commander
took the floor t. utter timely warning;
! "By your affirmative vote" he said, solemnly
weighing every word, "you have committed the

Tough Days

Whether a certain gentleman "stole' the affec-
items Of another mans wife, or whether the wife
gave" those affections freely, is the nice question
under discussion in midwestern court
The husband seeks $4,000 alienation ofaffections
money. The defendant says the suit is unjust, for
he did not "steal."
Much of tcday's prattle about "the modern wom-
an" is involved here. Woman of yesteryear always
had her affections "stolen" from her, for she was
not deemed sufficient of personality to voluntarily
and of her own volition 'give' affection which the
law said belonged to her husband by rights Of prop
erty ownership
But today even the courts recognize q change
