MAYBE THERE'S TIME ENOUGH

This world, unfortunately is far from perfect, and
there is ample reason for pessimsm among the
serious thinkers in the drug store but there
are, here and there rays of hope
The latest ray is emitted by Major William Bowie
Government scientist. who announces that our
old earth has at least 30OOOOO0O years of life re-
naming to it.
This planet it seems, is slowly cooling off, and
ultimately will be too cold to support any kind
of life. But Major Bowie insists that it will be
three million centuries before this cooling process
reaches point where it will be uncomfortable
manifest.
Heartening words, these. Perhaps there is time
after ALL for mankind to install of the internal
improvements he has been talking about for SO
many centuries
Inele is this business of war for instance Per.
haps the time allotted by Major Bowie is none too
ample; but there is reason to hope that before it
has all elapsed men will have come to their senses
and found some way of settling their disputes with
one another without resortng to force.
Then there is crime Even the most cynical must
admit that three million centuries ought to be
time enough for us to make a real scientific study
Of this social phenomenon and find better way of
treating it than our present prisons and electric
chairs afford.
And, time before the end of this long stretch
labor may find some way of getting along.
OF course, those the lesser problems. The
really important issues will need every minute that
Major Bowie gives us, if not more.
Consider, for example, the revolution in human
affairs that would be necesstated even by SO small
thing as our trying to regulate our daily lives by
the Sermon on the Mount; think what the words
brotherhood, Tolerance, Democracy Freedom and
Justice really mean, and you'll agree that the time
will be none too long.
A whole lot of things can happen in 800 100000
years. 1t is rather odd to think that there will come
a day when not soul earth will know that
there once existed great world powers" named
England, France and America. 1t ticBles the risi-

all that we build or do or say, will vanish utterly

which would justify his even consid-
ering a Business Pass or a bid OF
two No Trumps; so II Is clear that he
must answer the double by bidding
two of suit. Generally when called
upon to name suit, the longest or.
with equal length, the strongest Is
the one to select. In this case the
length of the two suits is the same,
but there is great difference in their
strength; the weak suit is a Major
and the strong suit Minor. A de.
pendable partner has not doubled
without being prepared for, and In.

four-card Major, no matter how
weak IL may be; that is one OF the re.

apt to be produced by a Major bid
than by Minor. II, as is quite prob.

surely would be at the Minor. IL
always should be remembered that
the Major is one vital trick nearer

contract should he Clubs, tho Spades
would not be OF much value. II may
be stated generally that after
double by the partner a weak four

nearer the goal of game, than a
strong four-card Minor. The answer
with the above hand should be two
Spades-not two Clubs.

Who's Small Now

Ernest V. Sterry of Toronto has
been convicted of libeling God,
which relieves us of feeling small
when an Englishman mentions the
Scopes case.
Sterry made an ass of himself for
no better reason than a desire to
appear smart. He poked fun at the
Deity in a way that was gratuitous-
ly offensive to most people. When
hailed into court he said that it was
the Jewish, not the Christian, God
he had ridiculed, which was childish
If not cowardly.

Russia Makes Poison Gas
Realizing Weapon of

Her motives may be brutal, but
her intentions are beyond dispute.
Whether considered from the
angle of war or peace, poison gas
has become an all-important factor.
Disarmament can neither be hon

poison gas.
No more can preparedness be ade-

Command of the battlefield has
been taken over by the chemists.
Future wars will be determined in

This scrapping of dreadnaughts is

the participants in the fest make the
claim that it was due to their eff

impression that it helped consider
ably in the final result and showed
that the students were behind the
team to man.
The festivities were opened at
about 7: 80 with a snake dance
through the streets of the city In
which a column at least half a mile
long participated. The parade was
good natured and orderly although
traffic was suspended along the line
of march and cars had hard time
to negotiate their destination. The
column wound up at the baseball
park where boxes, barrels, old tires
and other infamable material had
been piled to a considerable height
and a mammoth bon fire resulted.
The school yells were practiced,
songs were sung and the dance con-
tinued around the fire. The festivi-
ties were participated in by the
faculty, pupils and interested spec
tators. Altogether it was poppy
performance and appreciated. The
results of the pep fest were salts

WALTON LEAGUE
WILL SECURE ELK

The Ely Chapter of the Izaak
Walton League started with their
meetings after layoff through the
summer months. The meeting last
night was fairly we'll attended and
plans for the winter meetings were
laid down.
Chief among the business tran
sacted was the elk proposition which
the chapter has had in mind for the
past two or three years. The
chapter is in communication with
the state officials and the superin-
tendent of the Itasca State Park,
relative to securing at least six
elk from the park next spring to
be turned loose in the Superior Ma
tional Forest, probably in the
Stoney River district. The ques-
ton has been studied and gone into
and plenty of feeding grounds have
been located in this district to in
sure a plentiful supply. the year
round for a large number of these
fine animals.
Last spring arrangements were
completed to tranfer several of the
elk up here but through some mis-
understanding, the chapter was slow
in getting these arrangements COM
pleted and the, proposition fell
through. This tim the members
are determined to act early enough
to see the proposition through.
M amberships are due and the
chapter laid plans for a wild duck
banquet some time in the near
future at which time it is hoped to
secure the needed number to put
Ely over the top. The Ely quota
as set by the state chapter is sixty
members. This should be easy.
Dues have been set at $500 as be-
fore. e..
Those appointed on the banquet
committee are Ray Hoefer, L. J.
White and H. E. Olson. The date
of the banquet will be about two
weeks from today.
President M. w. Peterson of the
chapter rendered mis- resignation in
lieu of the fact that he will be out
of the state the rest of the winter
His resignation was accepted with
the regrets of all the members of
the chapter and William Mitchell,
vice president, was appointed as
president to fill out the unexpired
term.
