REAL FLYING AUG /.
Mrs. Coolidge, in South Dakota,
sees women of all kinds, young
girls and grandmothers, wearing
knickerbockers. Mrs. Coolidge re-
spects them and probably admires
their common sense, but she will
not wear knickerbockers. Rubber
boots when she goes fishing and a
skirt of reasonable length-never
mind If it gets wet.
Clothes, as Carlyle shows in
"Sartor Resartus," make all TIE
difference between king i'll lIis
grandeur and "featherless biped
Two hundred and seven Ameri-
cans reported incomes of $l,000,000
. year or more in 1925.
In 1924 only seyenty-hve report
cd incomes of million dollars or
ever.
! Once a man owning a million
was a wonder. Now 207 have
million or more INCOME and
;some have fifty millions of income
and good deal more through cor
poration ownership.
And the billion a year income
will arrive before earth's phase of
Industrial feudalis0a shall pass.
Mrs. freeman, the unhappy
Mother whose husband was killed
by an automobile, killed herself
and her FIVE children when told
they must go to an orphan asylum
Better dead than without q
mother" said the poor woman, and
went with. them.
She was careful to protect TWO
canary birds. putting them where
the deadly gas could not reach
them She knew that canary birds
have value; somebody would buy
them and treat them kindly. She
knew that children have no value:
that she could not be sure that
strangers in snNasylum would treat
them kindly.
Visiting New York City with a
party of distinguished Texans,
welcomed and looked up to, liter
ally and in other ways, Governor
Moody listens and thinks.
He hears that New York City is
the biggest American factory
town, turning out FIVE and half
billion dollars worth of products
year. Governor Moody is too po-
lite to mention the fact that any
State he has seen on his way East,
including New York, could be
tucked away in Texas and not at
tract much attention. Texas alone,
intensively cultivated, could feed
every one OF The 1,o00,000,000 hui
man beings on earth and have
room left to raise cotton.
While Byrd was flying east
across the Atlantic, and two young
Army men west across the Pacific,
at 1l0 miles an hour, our interesting
visitor, the comet ons-Winnecke.
was leaving the earth behind, pass
ing through various consultations
at the rate Of 10000 miles an hour.
Shall we, tiny creatures, when
released from service on this
earth, make some such journey
That would be more Interesting
than going into the ground to stay
there.
The VERY DRYS, plan dry
ticket in 1928, if neither party sup
plies them with. a candidate dry
enough.
1t would be enlightening to
nominate at least one Independent
dry. The result would be nstruc-
tive. Few candidates dare defy the
dry, few would want an out and
out dry nomination.
At this moment of flying en-
thusiasn, one word Of caution is
necessary, and expert hiers remind
you of it.
Don't go up Gust to know how
it feels" unless you know the pilot
and the machine.
There are unsafe machines,
plenty of them, including many
bought secondhand from the Uni
ted States Government. There are
unskilful pilots and others skilful,
but reckless.
Barring dangerously bad wealth
er, bad pilots and unsafe machines,
flying is now safe. But BE
CAREFUL.
Beginning on August /, air pas
senger service from the Atlantic
to the Pacific is promised, the trip
to take thirty hours.
