Economic lions EUer
on Horns of Dilemma

It is a depressing thought that
every economic Zion which the
world has ever seen has been de-
stroyed in one of two ways. If a
group of people anywhere ever sue
coed in developing superior insti-
tutions which put them definitely
on the road to prosperity or to
achieve a higher degree of comfort
and happiness than are enjoyed by
their neighbors, these neighbors i'm
mediately demand the privilege of
sharing that prosperity and are not
satisfied with the privilege they al
ready possess of achieving similar
prosperity for themselves by copy.
ing the institutions which have
made the fortunate group so pros
porous.
The prosperous group is then in
a dilemma, either horn Of which
may be fatal. If it keeps its neigh
bors out, they resent such action
and may combine to- destroy it by
military invasion. If it welcomes
its neighbors, they will spoil it's Geo.

Special Effort Only
Can Glue Supremacy

Strength is matter of effort.
You cannot hope for great strength,
or athletic strength, or any high
degree Of vigor, as the result of
nambypamby types of exercise.
You cannot hope to become a
wrestler by playing croquet. You
cannot become champion Splinter
by the practice of walking. The
piano mover has more muscular
vigor than the bookkeeper, and the
bookkeeper has more mental
strength than the piano mover.
Moral or spiritual strength grows
with it's exercise. And then again,
athletic strength is acquired
through athletic effort. It is al
most automatic that the kind of
strength you develop, and the
amount of it, will be determined by
the kind of effort and the extent
of the effort put forth in training,
Carl Eaton Williams writes, in
Physical Culture Magazine. If you
concentrate your training upon one
kind Of athletic activity, it does
not follow that your training will
fit you for some quite contrary
type of effort.

Worlds Immense Debt
to Enthusiastic Fool

Some one ,should write a poem,
dedicate library or erect glori-
GUS statue to the enthusiastic fools
Of the world, says Thrift Maya
zine. A fool is man with great
idea which he can't prove. After
he has shown the sound of his
thesis the world acclaims him a
genius. If the people back in dear
old Spain prior to 1892 knew what
it meant to be cuckoo or WOODY or
dotty or something like that, they
would have said Columbus was that
way. Fulton was the laughing
stock Of New York until the Cler-
mont sailed the Hudson. Lindbergh,
up to that day in May, 1927, when
he gave the world the greatest sup
ply of goosefiesh it has had in cen
turtles, was called the flying fool"
1t would be possible to string out
series of human interest stories
longer than a camp meeting prayer
about enthusiastic fools who have
accounted for the great things that
have been done for civilization in
advancing it to it's present stage
Of Jazz by radio, Embarrassing ac-
cidents and wrong numbers. Con-
servatism and caution have their
place in the world, but we would
still be running around in OK carts
and getting just all excited and
nervous over stereopticon exhibit
lions if there had not been a lot of
enthusiastic fools in the world.

Fixed Speed Signs Will

Signs directing drivers not to

Elephants Fire Fighters

, A "tall' story of how a herd of
wild elephants conquered a forest
fire on the southwest coast of In
dia is told by the Indian News
Service. During a gale a big tree
was uprooted and blocked one of
the highways. A crew of natives
was detailed to clear the road, and
to lessen their work attempted to
burn the tree. When darkness came
the laborers returned to the safet~
of the customhouse and the Ere
spread to the adjoining woods.
The leader of a roaming band of
wild elephants, according to the
story, discovered the blaze and i'm
mediately called his followers by
loud trumpeting. Within few
minutes the four-footed firemen
were busily employed with their
trunks as hose, turning 40 streams
of water on the blazing tree and
burning woods.

Rockford Stirred After
Report of Hassell's Rescue
City Aroused to Highest Pitch of
EXCITEMENT Since War@FOund
Across Fjord

Rockford, ILL.,, Sept. 3.-The
rescue of Bert Hassell and Parker
Cramer from the Arctic wastes of
western Greenland tonight contin-
ued to be the chief topic of inter-
est in Rockford.
While full details of what had
happened since the two pilots of
the Great Rockford disappeared
two weeks ago were lacking, the
fact that they were safe and un-
harmed was sufficient to arouse
Rockford to the greatest pitch of
excitement the city had seen since
the Armistice ended the World
War.
Virtually the whole community
was waiting anxiously for the full
particulars of the rescue and the
account of what had taken place
since the morning of August 19
when the two fiers were last heard
from as they scared over northeast
ern Canada on the second leg of
their proposed flight from Rock
ford to Stockholm, Sweden.
The finding of the two pilots
across a ford from their Green
land base at MT. Evans yesterday
ended the. two weeks search which
had extended across part of Can
ada, over the north Atlantic and
most of southern Greenland. A
party from the Greenland expedi-
ton of the University Of Michi-
gan found the fliers after follow
ing a smoke signal sent up by the
two men. While hungry, neither
Hassell nor Cramer appeared much
the worse for their adventure.
They were taken to the base at
Mt. Evans but what they now plan
to do has not been learned. They
said their plane was not damaged
when they were forced down by
lack Of fuel. They were somewhat
off their course and had chosen an
ice arm off Point Sukkertoppen on
which to alight. That was on Aug
ust 10, not many hours after they
had broadcast their last radio sig
mad when their plane was off Cape
Chidley, Canada. =
The fiiers had given a trek to-
ward their base and had covered
many miles of the Arctic ice before
the party answered their smoke
signals.

conditions. It names certain
speeds, varying from fifteen to
thirty-fve miles, under various con-
ditions, but instead of making
these absolute limits it simply says
that driving at a greater speed
shall be "prima facie evidence"
that the speed is unreasonable.
Municipalities are prohibited from
fixing speeds lower than those
named in the state law.
Mr.. Babcock quotes reports OF
the National Safety Council show
ling that in towns the safest speed
for traffic to move is from twenty
to twenty-five miles an hour. To
attempt to slow down traffic to
fifteen miles an hour does more
harm than good. If all drivers
obeyed such ruling, it would
cause serious congestion with it's
attendant hazards. But a still
worse situation arises from the
fact that some drivers obey the
warning literally and many others
pay no attention to it and do not
slow up at all, and this mixture of
slow and fast traffic creates haz-
ard much worse than if all kept a
uniform speed around twenty-five
miles.
The highway department recon-
mends use of the diamond shaped
black and yellow signs with the
words caution drive slowly"
These call attention to the hazard
and cause nearly all drivers to be
alert and slow down. They do not
cause the resentment on the part
of drivers which is caused by "15
mile speed limit" signs. The eau
ton signs have proven very effec-
tive where used.
eve have no sympathy with the
reckless driver and he should be
dealt with vigorously" says Mr..
Babcock. "But to penalize care
full drivers by fixing very low and
arbitrary speed limits does not
have any effect on the careless and
dangerous driver. Large numbers
of arrests and fines for technical
violations of the law are no solu.
ton of the traffic problem"

Beavers Under Water

Many consider it remarkable that
the beaver can remain beneath the
water for so long a period. But he
can remain under ice much longer.
A beaver rises to the under side
Of the ice and there casts a guam
tity of its breath up against the
crystal covering Of the body Of wa
ter. A wide, fiat bubble is formed.
This is permitted to remain against
the ice long enough to become
somewhat purified, when the ami
NAL takes it into it's lungs once
more. This strange operation is
repeated from time to time, and
the creature is thus enabled to re-
main beneath the ice for hours.
The muskrat does about as the
beaver, but cannot remain without
fresh supplies Of pure atmosphere
so long.
