The World and All
v FOR

We are in the midst OF q period OF record-makine
and record-b taking. Somebody breaks a record every
day. Any newspaper that thaught It worth while could
maintain a daily feature. -Today's New Feature. =
CLEANED from the news dispatches.
In this column / have spoken heretofore Of the
amusing antics Of the publicity seekers who break the
records for sitting on flag poles, playing pianos. eating
pie, running upstairs, driving without sleep. calling
cows, blowing bIadders and doing all manner Of other
unimportant things.
These record-breskers are only rejecting the gen
erai public interest III ~stunting. A man who can do
nothing particularly well conceives the notion that he
can at least eat pie as profusely as anyone. He Is
thrilled BY the record-making flight or Clarence
Chamberlain. lie hears Of some lesser light who has
ridden g horse for days and nights without rest. He
says to himself, 81. too. shall achieve Immortality. I
shall eat more pie than anyone else in the town, in the
country, in the world" He does it. and he may live.
Captain Hawthorne c. Gray, q useful and energetic
army man, in the prime Of life. sets out to 60 higher
in q balloon than anyone else ever has gone.
Experiments already had proved that a rat is the
only animal that can live at an altitude Of $4,000 feet
above the surface Of the earth. Rabbits and guinea
pigs become unconscious at about $1,000 feet, and die
in a few minutes. Captain Gray had already gone up
more than $4,000 feet. and had been obliged to jump
for his life.
This time the brave captain reached an altitude Of
about 1900 feet. but he died.
There may be something gained by the sacrifice Of
valuable lives for such records. It Is hard for the
ordinary, commonsense citizen to see ii. what If
someone next week manages, with good oxygen and
good luck. to reach an altitude OF 10000 feetg He win
come back with a heart impaired for the rest or his
life, even if he lives to tell the story. And what will
he have contributed to the sum total Of human knowI-
edge or human welfare Rather less, I should think.
than the man who writes an agreeable poem Of twelve
lines.
l believe these men have a right 70 risk their lives
in setting records Of whatever nature, because they
are the proper judges Of the comparative values Of
their lives and the records they hope 70 make. But /
think many brave men are exceedingly unwise in the
exercise Of their rights.
