only fool would say, ''Thers q NO
engineer. my high intellect tells me
that" ~,
Professor E. G. Jessup talks sens
IDLY about mans fighting instincts
and the suppression of war. Man Is
as much Of fighting animal ~ ever,
says the professor. and the day. to
end war is to direct mems love of
fighting into better work than killing
each other.
The fighting instinct expresses en-.
ergy. That can be used up in fight
ing nature usefully, going up to new
attitudes in flying machines, explor-
ing ocean depths. climbing mountains
in friendly competition among nations
and in other ways.
Men unwilling to fight, or not eager
to fight for A. reason. would be mere
white rabbits. The problem is to make
them fight usefully. They will be
fighters always.
This is the days IMPORTANT news,
destined, possibly, to revolu tionize i'm
dustry. including automobile making.
Gunther Polcich, a young engineer Of
Vienna, produces q current of cleo
tricity "direct from chemicals"
He believes that his invention will
do away with dynamos, and says one
pound of his chemical combination
will do the work Of underground
storage battery. It sounds like re-
leasing the power in the atom.
II he has found locked up in chem
icals the light storage battery that Ed
ison looked for. he has something
worthwhile.
To release power from chemicals, or
take it direct from the sun, would en-
rich this earth beyond mems dreams.
and cut the days work to one hour.
Just now, that might spoil the hu-
man race, not yet tit to be released
from the necessity's sharp lash.
This is certain. We are just begin
ming the, age Of electricity. as our
ancestors were beginning the steam
age after the battle Of Waterloo. And
what STEAM did. increasing human
efficiency and wealth. will seem rs
nothing compared with the work that
ELECTRICITY will do.
II European nations would stop hat
ing and fighting each other and con-
centratc on development Of electric
power, they could pay for their bloody
and brutal war quickly--and probably
be ready for another.
A black prize fighter. Mr.. Tiger
Flowers. recently took the champion
ship in his class away from Greb. u
white fighter, and has gone back to
"a IN, lnst sal, H.
ionally breaches.
Most interesting is the black, fight
cr's statement that while he fought
the white man he repeated to himself
the first verse Of his favoritc psalm:
BLESSED be the Lord my strength.
which teacheth my hand to war, and
my fingers to fight"
Mr.. Creb might almost claim q
'foul" on that. The rules say that
q fighter must have no outside as
sistance except between rounds.
The Able Dazzle, Parish priest in a
small French village, has invented .
machine to plant cabbages. A boon to
market gardeners. a Mechanical hand
plants the seedlings more prefectly
than the human hand. rapidly with
perfect regularity.
Farmers will be interested in that,
also in the fact that you can keep
cows off railroad tracks, prevent their
going through fence openings, simply
by laying few old lengths OF IRON
pipe raised an inch or two inches
above the ground across the space
that you do not want the cows to pass
over. Mrs. Cow puts her foot on the
round pipe, does not like it and turns
back. This "cOw rebuff" is used gen.
orally in California.
Nice-presdent Dawes has a sense Of
humor back Of his pipe. When he
wanted to hurry the business of the
senate. he was told. "you israt fol.
low the senate rules
Now he makes the senator's follow
their own rules. including rule that
compels them to face the speaker and
pay attention to him when questioning
or addressing each other. That they
don't like quite so we'll.
SkEPTlCAL WIFE
Hubby driving the auto): | wish
you would sit up here in front with
me.
Wife Tin rear seat): What's the
matter, are you ashamed to have
people know we are married.
