MYSTERIOUS SOUNDS THAT
HAUNT THE AIR

OF all the sounds that hauiA che
air probably the most mysterious
are those that are best callSS by
the generic name "brontides (coi>Ad
from two Greek words meaning
like thunder'), though they rejoice
in scores Of other names in various
parts OF the world. Brontides are
mufiied detonationS, resembling the
sound Of distant cannon or peals OF
thunder, and are heard chiefly in
warm, clear weather.
There is a reference in one OF
Lord Bacon's works to IAN extraor-
binary noise in the sky when there
is no thunder" Probably a search
of other early literature would re-
veal many notices Of mysterious
rumblings and explosive sounds such
as we should now describe as bron-
tides. The first systematic investi-
CATION of these noises was made in
India. where they have frequently
been reported from the neighbour
hood of Barisal, a town in the
Ganges delta, and are known locally
as "Barisal guns" Along the coast
of Belgium brontides are called
"mistpoefferS. They are well
known in many parts OF Italy I'M
der numerous names. In Australia
they are called desert sounds" In
Haiti "gouffre," etc. The "Moodus
noises often heard in the eigh-
tenth century about Moodus and
East Haddam, Conn. probably be-
long TO the same category.
The source OF these sounds is
undoubtedly subterranean In n
great many cases, though perhaps
not in all. II is thought THAI
Slight movements Of the rocks, such
as would be inaudible under Or
binary circumstances may rise 70
noises when the atmospheric vibra-
tions are REINFORCED in some way by
the configurations OF the ground.
The explosion Of unseen meteorites
may account for some brontides,
while others may be the sounds OF
thunder, cannoading, blasting, etc,
heard at abnormal distances be-
cause of the refraction Of the sound
waves by the atmosphere.

Flies or Worms?

Should rainbow trout be caught
with angleworms or flies?
This has become a burning issue
and we might just as we'll settle
down to long argument, though
it may prove nothing in the end.
According to some Sportsnen,
Prccidcnt Coolidge violated the rules
OF the game when he impaled an
angleworm on his hook.
His explanation is that he tried
flies first, but the trout wouldn't take
them, and he justifies worms with
a string of seven beauties.
There are sportsmen who think
he would have better come home
empty handed than commit such
breach of piscatorial etiquette, but
those simple minded laymen who go
fishing to get fish probably will not
regard it as disqualifying him for
denomination.

The Elysian Fields

big and shining yellow car swirls out OF the
Bots de Bouogne and into the sunshine OF the
Champs Elysee. Down this famous boulevard 1t
sweeps catching every eye. Behind the wheel is
large black man with gorgeous golden grin. Beside
him is very blond and very pretty girl.
The car is a Hspano- Suiso. The girl shall be

let us repeat, is the Champs Elysee-the Eysian

TRACY
SAYS:
The Effectiveness of Our
Laws Is Being Slowly
but Steadily Destroyed
by q Flippant, DiStrust-
FIJI Attitude.
SAYS:

Interest in two successful trans
Atlantic flights and in the posi-
bility of discovering what happened
to Nungesser and Coli has caused
us to forget that st. Roman and
Mouneyres undertook the great adj
venture first and that they were he
roes even though their machine
failed.
Reports that wreckage of their
machine has been discovered in the
mouth of the Amazon suggests that
they came very close to triumph,
but whether they did or not, they
displayed all of the human charac-
teristics that are necessary for such
a triumpf-imagination, ability and
the willingness to try what had
never been done before.

Law at Fault, Too

Making allowance for all this, the
law is somewhat to blame for the
contempt in which it is held.
People have not turned against
it because they want to laugh or
because they have forgotten how to
think.
Neither the eight-hour day. the
automobile nor high wages account
for the unprecedented indifference,
not to say disgust, with which the
law has come to be regarded.
Apologists for the law can argue
that the public is all at fault and
that the only thing required is for
it to pull a long face. fold its hands
and strike an attitude of sub
missive respect, but they will not
get anywhere, either with the argu-
ments or the remedy for this de-
plorable condition, until they, admit
that the law has come to be a
clumsy evergrown, inefficient, med
dlesome factor in life.

LOOKING OVER NEW
EVENTS AT THE PALACE

Things seem to run to singing and
dancing on the current bill at the
Palace. There is no one particular
act which stands out. because there
is so much music. There can be
too much music on bill, you know
ION Tour" is a song and dance
revue with a small cast. Two OF
the boys are rather good dancers
but the act lacks a class finish.
The Six Musical Clowns have a
routine which reminds one OF Tom
Brown. The act has melody and
color. but lacks pep.
Anthony and Rogers, with rou-
tine of mixed up words, seems to
get along better than all the others.
Hiltin and Chesliegh, two girls, ac-
tually put over some ancient ma
terial, but they do put it over. Little
Pipifax and company mixes falls,
acrobatics and some comedy. Bert
Fitzgibbons is again acting as an

Lac, and Justice
by Dexter NJ. Keezer

Two men were playing in poker game. One Of
them, who was losing heavily assaulted the other,
who was the big winner and took his money back
He was convicted of robbery and sentenced to five
years in prison. He appealed the the ground
that the trial Judge had refused to admit evidence
to show that the man from whom he had recovered
his poker losses by force was using marked cards.
He claimed 1t not robbery to recover money that
had been taken from him by cheating The opposing
contention was that the possible element Of cheating
did not legalze assault and forced recovery of the
money.
HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE?
The decision: The Court of APPEALS of Texas
decided that it would not be robbery to force in
recovering money taken away by the use of marked
cards 1t ordered the trial court to adjust its rulings
accordingly.

Jeering at Law

Attorney General Sargent de-
plores jeering at the law.
He does not believe intelligent
men can assume f1ippant attitude
toward it without encouraging ig-
norant men to disobey it.
Carefully. avoiding the mention
of prohibition by name. he leaves
the impression that this particular
law is responsible for most of the
jeers.
He says it is inconsistent for a
citizen to declare in the same breath
Il believe in and demand enforce
ment Of the laws Of the country, but
I will pay we'll any man who will
violate these laws"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-06-24
Why it Exists

The attorney general is eminently
correct.
The effectiveness of our law is be-
ing slowly but steadily destroyed by
a f1ippant. distrustful attitude.
Merely shouting that such con-
dition exists, however, is of little
avail.
What we want to know is how it
can be corrected, and this involves
the question of why it exists.
The attorney general is pleased
to infer that modern life is some
what responsible, and perhaps it is.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-06-24
Pleasure First

We have more time and money
TO spend then we ever had.
The tendency is to think. of
pleasure rather than serious things.
A comic strip is more likely to be
read than a learned article.
Even the attorney generals able
address before the Pennsylvania
Bar Association will probably not
attract as wide attention as Will
Rogers latest quib.

Defects Stand Out

You don't have to thirsty or be-
lieve in bootlegging to realize how
stupendously the law is failing.
You can forget the irritating regu-
lations from which we suffer, the
censorship, the tagging of automo-
biles and stiff find monumental de-
fects in the law.
You can forget the petty crimes
which have been made out of whole
cloth, the volumes of new statues
that nobody ever reads and still
discover that the law is not work.

Kissinger, I know we'll. He used

Respect Required

Take the Sacco- vanzetti case, for
instance, with which the law has
been fooling seven years and of
which it has made such a hopeless
mess that the Governor of Mass
achusetts has had to call in COM

to do.
Take the case of Russell Scott,
who was sentenced to hang three
years ago, who has been declared
both sane and insane and who now
faces new trial on the original in
dictment.
The first requirement of respect is
to be worthy of it.

it look TO its own shortcomings.
