NORDIC WORLD CONTROL
MAY PASS TO OTHER RACES
Power Center, Based Expansion of Gases,
May Go Elsewhere When Coal and
Petroleum Are Exhausted.

For some 25 hundred years the ques
ton has been in dispute whether the
rise of nation is due to it's natural
resources or to it's native ability, to
the physical or psychical factor
Obviously both are essential. Their
relative value has been hotly argued
and IS still unsettled. From the point
Of view of scientist such arguments
are futile. A disputed question by
crucial experiment we should have to
deprive the dominant race of its ex.
ternal advantage, the possession of the
sources Of inanimate energy.
Such an experiment Is going to be
tried on a worldwide scale. We can
almost date the time when the vexed
question will be put to proof.
May Transfer Powers Source.
The supply of petroleum will largely
disappear within a period so short
see that day. The supply Of coal is
also limited and the date of its ex-
haustion in Europe is only a few
hundred years.
What will be the sources Of energy
which will support the civilization of
the future? We cannot tell, but it is
quite likely that it will involve a trans.
fer of the sources of power to other
lands and alien races. For instance,
ii we should have to rely upon water
power, the richest continents would be
Asia. Africa and South America. If
we should devise a means of utilizing
solar energy where it is least impeded
by clouds and rain in its passage from
the central powerhouse of the solar
system to the ground, the sources of
wealth will be the great desert of
Africa, Asia, South America and Cen.
trail Australia. That is to say, so far
as we could forsee the future, the pos.
session of power will gradually pass
from the white to the black and vel.

make to the world is something that
L will not venture to guess.
OF course, there is also the possibil.
ity. which is, indeed. in the light of
history, probability, that the inter.
nal and psychical factor-that is.
hereditary genius and native ability
may be lost to the dominant races and
be developed by some small group of
people in any part of the world. This
also is a chemical change, but of so

TIME most momentOus movement
in modern history is the spread
of the power of the northern
l. European branch of the white
race over the entire world
within the last $50 years. These peo-
pie are now pre-eminent in the politi-
cal, military, industrial, commercial.
scientific and literary sense. Prac.
tically, there are only four countries
that are not under their control:
China, which is too numerous; Japan
and Turkey, which are too war-like,
and Abyssinia, which subsiSts by suf-
ferance. This unparalleled expansion
Of imperialism is due to two factors;
one internal and the other external.
The first is the native ability of the
white race, and the other is it's ap-
plication in commerce and industry of
the laws of gases and particularly
Gay-Lussac's law that the pressure of
a gas varies with the absolute tenn
perature.
Modern civilization is based upon
molecular anarchy. By releasing the
atoms from their confinement in
liquids and solids, they attain in the
form of gas absolute independence
and democratic equality. That is to
say, the development of modern CIV
ilization and the expansion of Nordic
stock throughout the world is essen
TALLY a chemical reaction.
Gases are Responsible.
1t is the expansive force of gases
released at high temperature from
gunpowder and nitrocellulose that has
enabled these peoples to become ir-
resistible in warfare. 1t is the ex-
pansive power Of steam that has given
us the stationary steam engine, the
locomotive and the steamship. It is
the expansive power of water and
carbon dioXide that has given US the
internal combustion engine, the auto
mobile and the aeroplane. The ex.
pansion of gases is, therefore, the prin-
cipal physical factor in the world
wide expansion of north European
races. These expansive gases have
been produced from fossil fuel, coal
and oil, which are limited in amount
and capricious in distribution.
Suppose, then, our race should be de-
prived Of this physical and external
source ofits power. Would then the
internal and psychical factor suffice
to maintain our present supremacy?

The High School boys victory over the strong Army team was as spec tacular as it was unexpected. Ray mond Manthey, diminutive forward, was sent in in the second half with the Army leading by 10 points and did every thing that forward should do. In the closing minutes he scored 5 field goals in rapid succession and when the smoke cleared away the Army was on the short end of a 4S-44 score Seferovich played a great guard game at both forward and guard being in on every play. Leslie was handicapped by illness but managed to score field goals.
 The Army team was composed of three regulars of the s. A. c. Club, Anderson, Willis, and Galloway, and with Stevenson and Lenhart, appear ed easy winners. Willis and Andre son played in their usual form but "Gallopin' Galloway" did not. gallop as is his custom. Lenhart a new man, shows promise of being real asset to the local team. Willis was high point man with P, clos1y fol- lowed by Guy Manthey with 20.

C. gymnasium, the girls team winning a minute over time struggle from the local City five, and the boys taking the Army quintet into camp by a whirl wind finish, 4S-44. A big crowd was on hand to see these popular teams fight it out for local honors.
 The girls game was battle roy al from the opening whistle to the finial gun with neither team display ing much scoring ability, but plenty of fight. Guarding was exceptionally close at all times with very few open shots for either team. The High School showed flashes of clever team work but most of their plays were broken up before they got under way The City Girls were handicapped by having two regulars out of the line up, but Blake and Sheldon both play ed fine basket ball and it is doubt full if the regulars would have been as effective The score was tied al 5-5 at the end, and a 5-minute over time period was necessary to settle matters. The High School scored the winning basket on pretty shot by Roberta Mcintosh. Wilma Harri- son starred for the School team, he1 consistent guarding being largly re- sponsible for her team's voctory.

The Tennessee at Chattanooga
broke all previous records late in
December 1926, and the Cumberland
at Nashville was almost 10 feet higher
in January than the record Of the
1912 flood.
At Cairo, Illinois, where the Ohio
was pouring in its flood to join that
from the Upper Mississippi and the
Missouri, there were four successive
crests, the last one attaining the un-
precedented height Of 5o.4 feet, at
which time the river remained above
flood stage 40 days.
It is no wonder then that record
breaking rains in the state of Arkan-
sas during the month Of April caused
the over burdened rivers to smash
the levee lines to pieces, and over
whelm the surrounding countryside.
The Mississippi river, the states only
drainage channel to the Gulf, was
already choked with the flood waters
of far distant states, and the river at
Vicksbur8, Mississippi, had been at
flood stage two months before the
Arkansas catastrophe occurred.
1t is not fair, it is not humanity pos;
