CONGRESS NEARs AN END
beaumont Enterprise).

beaumont EnCerprlsels
Congress begins what leaders hope will Be TIE
final two weeks of the current session with one I'M
portant piece of legislation on the presidents desk and
plans for sending two other major bills % the White
House this week.
Flood control legislation is out of the way. 50 far
as congress is concerned. Although the bill finally
passed by the house and senate does not please M.
Coolidge in every particular, he will sign il and thus
assure protection to the. Mississippi valley states from
recurrent disaster.
The flood control bill was perhaps the most impor-
tant Of all the legislation before congress. Certainly
this problem is more urgent than any otner. although
some Of the nations farmers may not think so. Con-
gress conducted lengthy hearings and framed a bill
which Is probably the best that can be devised. taking
into consideration the magnitude of the problem. the
conflict OF engineering opinion, the cost and the re-
iuetanee Of a surprising number of American citizens
70 admit that flood control of the Mississippi river and
its tributaries is a national and not a sectional M.
~dertakinc.
The much discussed McNary-Haugen sill ana the
merchant marine bill are the other measures congress
sional leaders plan to dispose Of during the week. I'll.
equalization fee is retained in the 1928 edition - 49,
MeNary-Haugen bill, which Mr.. Coolidge Is expected
to veto. And it is unlikely that the bill can be passed
over his veto.
If the bill is not acceptable to Mr.. Coolidge and
cannot be passed over his veto, why should congress
pass 1t in the first instance? Probably because con
gress is playing politics with farm relief. as congre..
mas been doing more or less ever since the first of
many farm relief measures was proposed. Members
OF congress may tell their agrarian constituents that
congress did its duty OF the farmers and X is all Mr.
Coolidge's fault that the farmer is disappointed.
The merchant marine bill, inasmuch as it ia d.
signed to maintain the merchant fleet on an efficient
basis and hasten the transfer Of the government-owncd
SHIPS to private ownership. is in line with Mr.. Co,l.
idge's views and the views, incidentally. Of the Amer,-
can people. But nearly everyone who knows ANYTHING
about the problem comedies that il is likely to be come
time yet before the government can get out OF the
shipping business. Meanwhile the flag must be ken,
on the seas.
Tax reduction is interesting large numbers ot
American citizens, lathough the small taxpayer hs re-
ceived all the relief he is likely to get for some time.
Corporations are chiefly concerned in the new tax
reduction bill. II administration leaders succeed in
holding down the cut to a figure anywhere near tire
s2OO'OOOOO fixed by the administration as the =laxi-
mum reduction, the administration leaders will navg

from the state "by diverting transeontinentsl tourist
travel away from the borders Of Texas"
"The passenger agents Of those transccntinental
lines that do not pass through Texas have worked the
to d finish in g~etting business away from
those lines that must pass through Texas" he con-
tinues. "All that the agents Of those lines have to
tell a passenger, to wean him away from Texas lines
is, that for nearly a thousand miles Of travel through
Texas he will have to hold his hands and have moth
ing to pass away the time. It naturally makes q man
mad to think that such a fool law is in existence"
Further, "the transeontinental travel not only adds
to the revenues Of the railroads enabling them to give
finer and better service, but helps hotels immensely.
and incidentally brings an investor to see Texas on
portunities. Another feature 10, that nowadays thsrs
are q great many organizations Of women who held
annual conventions with many debates. 1t would be
a big revenue to the railroads IL they could provide,
as they could easily do Cf it were not for the law
arrangements for bridge games on the trains"
Like n good many other laws, the one which makes
illegal the playing of cards on trains in Texas i'm
presses a lot of people, as 1t has impressed VI Ev-
erett. as SILLY" Unlike a number Of other laws, this
one can be, and is, enforced. 1t might be debated
whether the law costs millions Of dollars thruogh its
diversion Of tourist travel through Texas. Undoubt-
eddy it has caused some loss Of revenue to the rail-
roads. and will continue to cause losses. People on
trains like to have means Of disposing Of dragging min
utes; a friendly game Of bridge helps relieve the te-
dunn. Everything else being equal, the traveller may
select the road on which he can play bridge "a
hours per day il he is SO minded.
Railroads these days have a good deal with which
to contend. The prohibition Of card playing is but
one, and probably a minor one. Il is n law which
might have been unwritten; but, once written, il will
be more difficult to repeal than it was to enact.

Outlawine War

Secretary Of State Kellogg's project Of multi
lateral treaty for the renuneiation of war as an ia
strument Of national policy received notable impetus
in the British house Of commons when spokesmen for
all three British parties lauded tho movement inaueu-
rated by the secretary. Sir Austen Chamberlain.
speaking on behalf Of the government, announced that
the empires answer to Washington's invitation to con-
clude such a treaty would he a favorable one.
Other European powers have received Secretary
KelGogg's project with equal enthusiasm. and II Is now
the general opinion in both Europe and the United
States that as a result Of the se~cretary's notes 70 the
various governments a multlateral treaty will Be
evolved which will remove, ~ far Is il humanity pos
sible, the menace OF war.
Former British Prime Minister James Ramsay Nc.
Donald, speaking for the Laborites. made the sucres-
ton that Mr.. kellogg BE thanked for compelling as
to recognize the essential simplicity Of the peace pro7-
lem" The former prime minister developed the areu-
ment that, while conclusion Of the treaty. proposed bv
Secretary kellogg might not end all war. il would
make il impossible for important nations, having re-
nounced war as an instrument Of national policy, to
use 6 threat Of war to obtain diplomatic advantage.
The only objection raised by Sir Austen Chamber
lain, speaking in behalf Of the government. was the
doubt as to whether the kellogg proposal would nuIlifv
any Of Great Britain's existing commitments. and Ne
admitted that Mr.. Kelloggs recent speech II New York
practically removed all ground for apprehension on
this score.
Acceptance by Great Britain, France. GERMANY and
Japan of the kellogg proposals will be followed bv y
conference to evolve the details ~ the npltiIater.I
treaty, and in view Of the spirit il which the kellogg
proposal has been received. no apprehension is felt IN
regard TO the ultimate working out Of he plan upon q
basis acceptable 70 all powers.

The World and All
WHAT WILL
BY Charles p. Driseoll

What will happen when our coal and oil supplies are
exhausted? The underground supplies of coal and oil.
Of course, are limited. The oil shortage will become
acute in the lifetime of many mature persons of today.
The coal shortage will not embarrass our children, but
il may we'll be that our children's grandchildren will
never see coal, except in museums.
Philip Gibbs, in his book, 1.-The Day After Tomor-
row. is much disturbed about TIE approaching coal
shortage. He cites authorities to prove that the coal
mines Of the British Isles will be completely exhausted
in IT'S years. That means that within fifty years the
coal industry in the British Isles will cease to be an i'm
portant pillar Of the industrial life.
American coal will last longer. But within a hun
dred years Americans will realize, too. that the worlds
power cannot much longer be derived from coal.
Then what?
Gibbs mentions only two possible sources Of energy
to replace coal. Control Of tidal action in some manner
that will make the energy useful, and the releasing Of
the energy that holds the atom together.
Atomic energy is the object Of much intensive in
vestigation just now. Scientists believe IL may be pos
sible, by releasing this powerful force, to accomplish
anything that may De done with the aid Of harnessed
power. But they are afraid OF the atom. They believe
that this stored energy Of the atom is so great that It
might easily be used to destroy the earth, especially in
time Of war.
Men have demonstrated quite fully that they are not
to be trusted with great power. With gunpowder and
other explosives, and a few combinations Of gases, they
recently succeeded in destroying nations and killing
millions Of carefully selected healthy men. II they had
the energy that scientists believe to be stored in the
atom. they undoubtedly would wipe out humanity.
I do not know about atomic energy. It may be a sci
entific superstition. Scientists have been mistaken be-
fore, you know.
Tidal energy undoubtedly will be harnessed to a GER
tain extent, as soon as the power is badly needed. 1t
is not probable that the Harvesting will be n cheap un-
~dertakinE, however, and other sources of power will be
needed.
Heat from the interior Of the earth, reached by
means Of deep holes, may turn most Of the turbines Of
the future. ! believe this will be comparatively cheap
power.
But there need be not great worry about the passing
of coal

Ry DIR. ALVIN BELL

DN Dhs ALVIN DAAs1
Tuesday Of Christ's last week was
the great day OF questioning. in
which every faction ot the church
OF his day tried to entIap him with
its trickiest questions.
The Political Question
The first question was political and
was cleverly worded by the Phari-
sees and Herodians so a to EN-
tangle him in his tals' whether his
answer should be yes" or mo" IL
dealt with the burning question Of
paying tribute TO Caesar or not r.
His Eyes" would have destroyed his
popularity with the common people,
while his "no" would have implicated
him in the charge Of treason against
Caesar. But Jesus, %p.rceiving their
hypocrisy. answered by laying down
an eternal fundamental principle in
all matters Of church and state:
Render to Caesar the things that
are Caesars, and TO God the things
that are Gods"
The Doctrinal Question
The second question was dostrinal
and came from the Sadducees who
were the "modernists" Of Christ's
day, denying the scriptures, the res
direction and other lcadin spiritual
truths. Their question was regard
ing a woman who had been married
TO seven brothers successfully and
was meant as a huge joke TO ridicule
the idea of resurrection: In the
resurrection therefore. when they
shall rise. whose wife shall she be
of them? ?" Jesus answered again
with a great fundamental principle,
proving the resurrection and future
life as taught in their own scrip
lures, because God says: 81 am the
God OF Abraham, and the God Of
Isaac. and the God OF Jacob" all of
whom were still living. for che is not
the God of the dead, but the God Of
the living"
The Legal Question
Their third question was a legal
question and came from one of the
Pharisees, who was a lawyer:

heavy" some ceremonial commands
and some moral, but each with its
advocates insisting upon its impor-
lance over all others. The chances
seemed 612 TO / that Christ's answer

NEW YORK, RJ-Three Of Ger
many's most skilIfll pilots of that
elementary flying machine, the
glider, have come TO America to give
youthful aviation enthusiasts in this
country a few pointers on the fas-
cinating pastime of touring the skies
in motorless planes. The visitors are
Captain Paul Roehre. Peter hessel-
bach and Or. Paul Laubenthal.
Germany has probably gone fur
Their than any other nation in the
development Of gliding since the
war. She has now more than a
hundred soaring and gliding clubs,
with a total membership Of nearly
10000 persons, mostly boys too
young to use powered planes and
older youths who are seeking pilots
jobs with the commercial aviation
companies. These concerns now de-
mand that their flyers be three

two-year course of instruction, which
is the preliminary training for mo-
tor plotting. The three birds denote
that the young airmen have master
ed the three common types of
gliders.
Air currents provide the motive
power for a glider, and the knowl-
edge Of their eccentricities which the
prospective pilot gains in flights
with this simple machine is OF great
value TO him when he graduates to
a ship that has a power plant.
The first type Of motorless plane,
assigned to the beginner, is called a
circling machine. IL is simply con-
structed so that repairs can be made
easily and is used chiefly for teach
ing ordinary gliding. When . stu
dent can operate 1t efficiently he
wins his first bird.
The next assignment is 20 a ma
chine Of slightly different construc-
ton, in which the youth does his
first soaring and learns the trick OF
making his plane rise in the air. a
thorough grasp Of this technic gains
him his second bird, and he is ready

Hesselbach. who. like his two COM
rades. is a licensed motor pilot. holds
the worlds record for sustained
flight in a tw~o-seater motorless
plane with a passenger m the Euro

held last summer In the Crimea, he
remained aloft with a companion
for five hours and fifty minutes.
The single scatter mark is held by
Ferdinand Schulz, who scared for
fourteen hours and 20 minutes with
out a motor.
The German birdmen have come to
this country at the invitation Of j.
G. Penney, Jr., and the American
Motorless Aviation club, recently
formed in New York to promote in

plan to give exhibitions in various
cities.
