LINDBERGH AND COLUMBUS.
A WONDERFUL MOTOR.
NO JUMPING.
LUNGS TOO GOOD.
By Arthur Brisbane

By the way, fathers and mothers,
sad because their sons lack college
education, will observe that Lind
bergh went to no university, and
his prep school" was plow on
his fathers farm. He was a soli-
tary boy, thinking, enjoying danger
and new things. Robert Westover,
a garage owner in Montana, who
once hired Lindbergh to make
parachute jumps, says, 81 don't
think he was lonesome on that trip.
Slim Lindbergh was a peculiar guy
he did not care for company or any
excitement, except daring stuff.
Everything he, had he carried with
him, helmet, goggles and toothbrush
stuffed in the big pockets of his
overalls.''
Lindbergh's difficulty now will be
to find something worth doing that
will not kill him.
Lindbergh proves that deeds of dar-
ing "mad-cap audacity," seeming
reckless at the time, are of great,
permanent value. 1t was called reck-
less folly when Columbus made his
transatlantic hop" in the opposite
direction. Cool heads told him he
would fall over the edge of the
ocean, and his crew wanted to turn
back.
Fulton's experiment with steam,
and Franklin's with the lite, seemed
foolish. Congressman that voted to
spend money on Government expert
ments with telegraph messages were
beaten for reelection. The voters
had no use" for Congressman that
would vote to waste money
Lindbergh's feat will find an echo
in the next Congress. It viii occur
TO some Congressman that if one
ilan, ali alone, could fly from here
to Europe, some thousands might fly
from Europe or Asia here, and be
less welcome than Lindbergh was in
Paris.
The record shows that Lind |
hergh's Wright motor used less than
twelve gallons Of gasoline per hour
of flying and did better than 100 miles
to the hour At twenty cents gallon
that means about $ol w5rti1 of gaso-
line, plus twenty gallons of oil. Not
expensive for trip to Paris.
Anybody who doubts that airplanes
will carry passengers across the ocean
for less than $50, "all daylight route"
has little confidence in human ingen-
uity.
Statistics show this country's in
come in 1926 totalled Seventy-eight
billion, six hundred and forty-nine
million dollars, from all sources
the ditch diggers wages, the cou-
pom cutters toll.
That means $671 for every man,
woman and child, or $1,805.37 for
every person engaged in earning
money.
Professor Nash, teacher of phys
ical education in New York Univer-
sity, Justly criticises violent exercise
for young girls.
To permit competition for girls in
hurdle races, high jumping, broad
jumping, etc, is crime against the
girls now, and against the future gen
Grafton.
Girls were not made to JUMP. +
They were made for motherhood,
and should be taught to respect and
protect their complicated machinery. |
In the Fall medicinal whiskey"
bourbon and rye, made of corn and
rye, will be manufactured under su-
pervision of the Treasury Depart
ment.
No whiskey should be suggested |
for medicinal purposes. If doctors
say alcohol is necessary, they should
use brandy made of grapes. Many
poisons are in grain whiskey, even
carefully made. Real brandy is free
of poisonous oils and other poisons,
unless you call pure alcohol poison.
Wood alcohol is deadly, potato al
cohol is very poisonous, grain alcohol
less poisonous, grape alcohol safest.
Those that sent threatening letters,
concerning the Sacco and Vanzetti
case, to Governor Fuller did not
frighten the Governor. He rejects
the suggestion of commission to
review the Sacco and Vanzetti case,
saying that the responsibility is his.
The Governor cannot delegate his
authority The law provides that the
decision must be made by him.
Governor Fuller will do, his own
investigating and his own deciding.
Consumptives will be interested to
learn that physical work, even "hard
work" in reason, is beneficial, not
harmful, except in extreme cases.
Consumptives often have lungs that
might be called "too good" the lung
area being SO great that the heart
finds difficulty in pumping an ade-
quate blood supply Exercise in mod
Grafton strengthens the heart, helps
the patient.
