Thirty millions, it has been said,
would be enough to dig down into
the earth and tap inexhaustible heat
sources that would put IN end to all
coal digging.
In the long run, the policy Of John
ID. Rockefeller and Of his son, JOhr
D. Jr.. is the wise policy.
They spend their millions. not to
cure individual cases of poverty or
disease, but to make disease and
poverty impossible. They have prac
tically wiped out in North and South
America the yellow fever that once
killed tens Of thousands year. You
couldn't die Of yellow fever now If
you tried. That is really intelligent
philanthrophy.
Tomorrow will be the Muharram,
new year Of the Mohammedans, and
the British ruling India look forward
TO fresh outbreaks of fighting and
killing among Britain's MOhammcdan
and lIindue subjects that hate each
other.
Fortunately for the British, the
fighting Mohammedans are Outnnm-
bered four to one by the peaceful
Hindus. and this for the time makes
British rule in India safe.
II would be otherwise il the Mo-
hammedans knew enough tv celebrate
their Muharram by making friends
with the Hindus and uniting to rule
India for those that live in India.
Religious superstition, which is an
other name for ignorance, makes that
impossible.
The president in his forest camp
works hard. rs many hours as in the
,, White House. He tells reporters that
his vacation is merely "a change Of
| scene"
So it is with all serious men. The
| real work they do Is thinking, and
thinking does not stop until the heart
stops, and it continues somewhere
else when the thinking machine leaves
the body.
! However, vacation is rest. for
different parts Of the brain think
about different things. Change Of
scene means change Ct thought. The
greatest brutality to human beings is
inflicted, by our industria! system
that condemns men to monOt0ny ir
occupation and surroundings.
Think, for instance, Of those mo- or.
men and switchmen in New York's
subway system. now striking for
better pay and destined, probably. te
lose their fight. They must work
seven days every week in dark tun.
nels underground to earn miserable
$38 for seven days work.
!; And their employers calmly tel
you they can't afford to pay more
!, They don't tell you they could sasil,
afford to pay double If previou.

i On Friday, at luncheon in honor
Of Commander Byrd, who flew ovel
the pole, letter was read that Rod
man Wanamaker wrote early in 1914
!, before the great war started.
In that letter Mr.. Wanamaker Of
fercd to construct a ship and finance
; 10 flight across the Atlantic. Wa
came and he gave his airship to tn
allies.
:, Such flight, Mr.. Wanamake
wrute, would ptpmote peace and com

gether, putting an end to f0olisl
building Of battleships and making
: it clear that war could end only il
disaster for all concerned, one FLYNN,
machine being able to sink battle

Americans have flown across tn

The working people of Italy, or
posing the order issued by Mvssolir
= that they add an hour to the work
ing day, have common sense on thei
side. Mussolini doubtless will see i
A good man can give in eigf
hours all the work that is in hin
" il he really works, and you can

y him. At the end of year, an eight
hour day of honest work will produe
as much as ninerhour day. or eve
g more.
The attitude of American citizer
