The World and All
TORNADOEs

The United States government is very helpful to
its individual citizens in q great variety Of ways. But
once in a while it puts forth an effort ut helpfulness
that resembles nothing so much rs throwing c ~cast-iron
lifepreserver to a drowning man.
The other day I read q leaflet from the Press Serv-
ice of the Office Of Information Of the United States
Department of Agriculture that gave me a laugh that
! carried around with me all day.
1t was headed: Tornado-resistan Buildings Pos
sible, Forest Products Engineer Asserts"
1t quoted one L. v. Teesdale, of the Forest Prod
ucts Laboratory Of the United States Department Of
Agriculture. Here. in brief, and shorn Of useless
~verbiage, is Mr.. Teesdale's grand idea:
Houses and other buildings should be constructed
with windows or panels that would open out
ward. There should be outward-opening vents in the
roofs, too. Hinged panels may be used in the spaces
between windowsins and floors. Special ~skylights or
hinged roof panels are suggested for roofs.
Mr.. Teesdale has figured all this out as q result
of deep thinking upon data furnished BY the st. Louis
tornado last September. The reasoning is simple
too simple. Many buildings explode from within dur
ing tornadoes, on account Of the sudden drop in ex-
ternal air pressure. Therefore, make windows that
open outward easily, and the house won't explode.
Professor Teesdale has done a fine Job Of working
out a theory. 1t makes a beautiful press service re.
lease.
BUT-did Professor Teesdale ever see a tornado?
Inc chances are at least ten thousand to one that he
hasn't seen one at very close range, anyhow. And
yon can't imagine a tornado. Professor. You have to
see it, hear it and feel it before you realize how fool
ish your gentle theory Of outward-swinging windows ia.
I've seen six tornadoes. I've prowled about in the
ruins all night, pulling dead and half dead people out
from under walls and safes and automobiles. And
none Of the tornadoes I've seen acted the least bit con-
cerned about which way the windows opened.
AS well talk in q laboratory of stonninr 81. NJ.
sissippi floods with nicely balanced stacks Of newsna-
pers. What's the use putting fancy skylights in the
rooi' II the tornado carries the whole house, roof and
all across two counties, and drops it in four states ?
Well l know a good many folk out in the tornado belt
got a good laugh out Of the scheme, anyhow.

Railroads and Agriculture

Out Of every dollar paid for live stock by the pack
Eng industry Of this country in 1927 the farmer, or
producer. received 81 cents net, which is the largest
percentage of sale price he has received for his live
stock in four years, said G. d. Morris Of the western
railways committee on public relations, Chicago. This
left but six cents out of each dollar with which to
meet all the marketing expenses, of which the trans
portation cost was 3s cents. On this basis a hog for
which the packer paid $50, Melted the producer $3.50,
while the cost Of marketing was $3.50. Of which the
railroad got about s1.l4 in freight charges.
I'VE have been hearing for some years that the chief
cause Of the depression in agriculture is high freight
rates." he said. "The actual facts clearly prove that
this is not the case. So far as livestock is concerned
marketing costs, as shown by this survey, are not ex-
cessive. Indeed, it has been years since the farmer
has received so large a percentage Of the sale price
Of his livestock as he does today, and a steer. hog or
sheep will pay for carrying a ton Of freight.
$50 far as net earnings are concerned the farmer
and the railroad have been in the same boat for some
years. The net returns Of neither have been adequate
service have largely increased in the past decade. In
terest, taxes, labor and other supplies necessary to the
farmer and the railroad in the operation Of their plants
have not only been high but have been constantly in
creasing. Moreover, each has suffered from increased
competition. The prices Of many farm products have
not been high enough 10 make their production profit
able, for the simple reason that there has been an
over-production Of those products, while the hard
surfaced highways. the canal and barge lines have op-
Grated to materially reduce the tonnage that would
otherwise be carried BY the railroads, and the rate
making authorities have consistently refused TO per-
NIT such rates to be charged on the tonnage the roads
have left to make il possible for them to earn a fair
return"

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
Foreign Advertising Representatives
Using Politics to Manipulate
Stocks

Uncertainty over the political situation was the
cause Of the selling wave and near panic that struck
Wall street on June IL, the opening day Of the repub-
lican national convention. according TO the New York
Herald Tribune. Uncertainty, which had been brew
ing in Walls street three weeks, erystallized into the
pre-eonvention "scare selling" bringing the heavies.
reaction in three years and causing the loss Of millions.
That those who profited by the sudden depression
of the stock market took advantage Of the political
situation is generally conceded by the Eastern press.
They are alleged to have started wild "rumors" from
Kansas City to the effect that the convention would
pick an ultra-radical; that the party platform would
be as radical as the candidate. and that the entire
country was headed for the "demnition bow-wows. ("
These rumors were seized with avidity BY credulous
investors, with the result that unparalleled unloading
os stocks started and the market was soon forced
down. The rumor mongers CLEANED their harvest the
following day when practically all stocks went back
to their former prices and in some instances attained
new high levels.
The force Of the reaction was felt in all stock ex-
changes Of the United States and Europe. The loss
20 small investors mounted into the hundreds Of mil
lions, all Of which was clear profit to the stock pur-
chasers within 4s hours after the "scare selling" got
under way.

OUR ARTISTIC" AGE
New York Evening Post).


A report comes from London that Gilbert Frankau,
a novelist who is supposed to make more money by
writing than any other English author. has forsworn
the composition of best sellers in order to join the
directorate Of a large publishing and paper manufac-
turing firm. 1t comes as a shock-perhaps as a re-
freshing shock-to hear Of anybody in these days veer-
ing from one Of the creative arts to a commercial oc-
cupation. So many persons aspirations tend in the
opposite direction.
A distinguished visitor who made a tour of Ameri-
can universities recently said that he was amazed at
the number Of young men who wished to give them
selves up to one Of the creative arts. Another critic
Of modern conditions. Wyndhim Lexis, the author Of
Time and Western Man" complains that, whereas peo-
pie used to desire happiness or success or merely
wealth, nowadays everybody wants to be an artist"
A desire for culture is one thing; a desire to be
Creative" quite another. Increased culture. we like to
think, leads to improved conditions, but a universal de-
sire for ereativenessis unsettling, since the number Of
born artists is limited. Such a desire can only lead 70
restiessness and dissatisfaction. Too many persons
nowadays despise their daily work because they are in
tellectual snobs and believe that they were mean to
be creative although they may actually be quite IN
capable Of creating anything, even a sensation.
The fact is that culture has been doomed as q cure
all and esthetics has come to be regarded as an anes-
thetic IN a worried age of ferocious industrial activity.
Publicity and the radio have brought intellectual in
terests within the reach Of every home. however re-
mote. A small-town farmer can have Bacon for break
fast, in the literary supplement of his newspaper, and
can turn on Bach on the radio before turning himself
out of bed.
This is a good thing in most ways. But 1t leads to
misunderstanding and discomfort when people are
tempted to think that it is as easy to be Bacon as to
read him, TO compose music as to listen to it-not such
an uncommon delusion. especially among persons to
whom culture comes late in life.
The artistic temperament was never 50 popular as il
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-06-20

is in the world Of today. The artistic colonies in the
world capitals multiply and become lucrative CONNER
eial enterprises. In Paris there il Is Mentparnasse, as
well as Montmartre; In London there is a new intel
lectual quarter in Bloomsbury which now rivals Chel-
sea. the home Of Carlyle and Whistler. In New York,
Greenwich Village will soon extend from Washington
Square to Harlem, il more and more people continue
TO become more and more artistic.
The only surprising thing il that art has not been
put on the market In synthetic form. Boxes Of pills,
priced at a dollar, guaranteed TO induce the genuine
artistic temperament, would probably sell like hot dogs.
In ell this turmoil Of aspiration and pretentiousness
we need to keep in mind the distinction between cul-
ture and creativeness. We can not all be artists.

Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-06-20

I believe in the theory Of Immortality, and q world
guided in accordance TO plan, for the same reason as
Newton believed IN gravitation, Darwin in evolution
and Einstein in the fourth dimension; not because they
could prove it, but because they had to believe it as a
necessary explanation Of other things which they did
know and could prove.
Life, as science describes it and every man feels il
is a dangerous adventure, the outcome and plan ot
which is not known in advance, leaving men hopeless
But life, as the religionist and philosopher interprets
the facts Of science, and as every man desires it, is q
safe pilgrimage and a sue beginning to a secure con-
clusion. It is religion that makes life hopeful and
worth while.
As ! look upon life, | find that man is equipped not
merely TO meet his environment with physical strength
and instinct, such as is the animal, but with something
more. 1t is this equipment Of mental powers, moral
aspirations and spiritual ideals, which makes a man
different from an animal.
Mans overendowment as a spiritual creature leads
