Whale Brings $4,000

A meeting of whale experts at the
National Museum in. Washington,
D. c., is chiefly interesting because
it reveals how very much alive the
industry is.
Whales are not only hunted, killed
and blubbered off as of yore, but,
like everything else, they bring q
rather high price.
AS one expert pointed out, a prize
whale, converted into chicken feed,
bone-black and oil at one of the
floating factories in the Shetland
Islands, brings about $4,000.
That is a price which would make
an old Nantucket shippers mouth
water.

Turkish Religion Changed

Speaking of organized religion,
Turkey follows the rest of the world
in separating church and State. Ais
lam is no longer her Official faith.
All mention of it has been elm
mated from the constitution. Hence
forth Turkish officials will swear ION
my honor" instead of "by Allah" or
"by the beard Of the prophet"
The curious part of it is that the
Turkish people accept the new or
der of things with indifference.
Trained to a thousand years of
religious rule and to regard Mo-
hammedanism as synonymous with
their government, one would look
for Wide-awake interest, if not re-
sentiment.
The stern, highly organized sect
which Mohammed founded some
1900 years ago, and which has
given birth to such waves of IA
natical zeal as the world never knew
before, ceases to be a political in
stitution.
The priest, as we'll as the king,
passes out of statecraft.

for such pronounced cynicisgn

In the Grip of Aviation

Aviation has taken a deeper hold
on the human mind as an agency Of
peace than it ever did, or could as
as instrumentality of war.
Richthofen, with all his crimson
fame, never received such plaudits
as Colonel Lindbergh.
Heroes made on the battlefield
appeal only to some clique, class or
nation. Heroes who fight their way
to glory in mans struggle to break
down the barriers of ignorance and
inability appeal to the whole world
Real achievement knows no
frontier. We never think of hating
an inventor or discoverer because of
his age or nationality.

Peace StartIeS Nation


The Senate has increased the
farm relief fund from $250O0O,OOO
to $4OO,OOOOOO. This. together with
the 1925 100000 for flood control and
$250,000,00O for merchant marine
makes nearly one billion which Con-
gress seems likely to appropriate for
encouragement of industry.
This amount is so much greater
than this Government has ever au-
thorized before for such purposes
that people are surprised. But it is
only about 3 per cent of what the
war cost.
Doubt as to the wisdom of
spending one billion dollars to help
peaceful activities right after thirty
billion so enthusiastically was spent
for conflict shows how far away
we are from the moral attitude
which visualizes a happy farmer as
essential to national welfare.
