ship "as big as the Mauretania,' =
with room for 100 passengers. That
will be one good lesson.
The French Academy of Sci
ences, a most serious body, says
that Margoulis, a French engineer,
has perfected a helicopter flying
machine. Such machine, enabling
you to fly and rise directly from
the ground, would give the inven-
tor wealth unlimited and would be
the best invention since the start of
the Wright Brothers. With hell
eopter in good order you could start
from t' of your apartment
house go building, go where
you like, and land on any other
roof or office building.
The jazz period in dances and in
morals is passing in Christendom
and pagan lands. Turkey is sup
pressing immoral dances; Japan is
dealing seriously with the social
evil; "all governments" says re-
port, "are occupying themselves
with the task of checking immor-
atty"
That is gratifying, important
news, and then more important is
news that tells of the discovery by
British scientists of a new vitanlin,
1000 times more powerful than any
known hitherto. It will cure rick
cts, and, most interesting, it seems
to have the effect of ultraviolet
light.
The new health food Is called
"chlostero" and contains what is
practically the pure vitamn D, q
substance called ergosterol. It can
be made cheaply, and an ounce Of
it would be enough to keep you
healthy from birth to death.
Health news and educational
news are the really important
kinds of news. "Give LIGHT and
the people will find their own
way" as Dante said. Give HEALTH
and they will have energy to work
we'll.
Morals change and return to
normal with time. Health and
knowledge are what count.
Some General Electric genius
has invented a searchlight gun
that will write on clouds, build
sngs, banks of smoke five miles
away. This opens up a marvellous
advertising field. But the Govern
ment should protect it, and tho
heavens should continue to declare
the glory of God, and the firma-
ment to show forth His handiwork,
They should not be used to declare
the glory of suspenders, tooth
baste or automobiles.
An old man in Illinois sends one
dollar to a woman in Indiana, say
ing, "I stole half a watermelon
from your father sixty years ago,
when was thirteen. / am on my
way to heaven and do not want
that melon standing in my way
Here is the money: forgive and
forget"
The question is, can you buy
forgiveness from heaven at the
last minute, when "on your way"?
A Mohammedan writes that his
co-relegionists do not pray fol
heaven. They say in their prayers
to Allah. "We pray to you because
we know you are great and good,
deserving praise. We ask nothing
in return" That seems more Dig
hifed than everlasting begging, and
more tactful.
The Middle West fights the corn
borer with a machine that squirts
blazing oil over the fields. Hugo
stubbIe pulverizers will help the
work. Blazing oil will dispose Of
corn borers, and of part of our SUR
plus oil at the same time.
General Nah, formerly in the
Government of Canton, tells re-
porters that "China will be a true
democracy" not a Soviet Govern
ment.
Everybody hopes that China, ex-
plotted, despoiled and bullied by
European nations, will succeed IN
self-government as a gigantic ma
ton, not break into small pieces
fighting each other.
But It is all guesswork. It is
hard for a jellyfsh to change into
