Large Desert Tracts
Still Are Unconquered
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
That ancient refuge of the uniformed
photographer, the Great American Des-
ert, is no more. The blanching bones
OF oxen, horses, men, women and chill
dren do not now define the trails that
led toward wealth beyond the stockaded
Army post. The steam engine and the
gasoline engine carry the travellers Of
today. The airplane photographs the
land for map makers. Man Surmounts
without fatigue the barriers reared by
Nature to keep the secret OF some Of her
store Of treasures.
Yet in Imperial County, Calf, 80
miles south of Blythe, a man, his wife
and five children persisted together from
the heat near the Seldom Heed Desert
road. Their car broke down, They
drained the radiator Of water to quench
their thirst. They died and their bodies
were found by boys. The waste from
which the road near the scene Of this
tragedy Is named is not dignified by
recognition in the atlas. The gazetteer
ignores 1t; Riders California" does not
give it place. But 1t has impressed It
self on the popular mind, else no high
way, road or trail would bear its name.
1t Is q reminder that less than gen.
GRAFTON ago the Imperial Valley was
utterly uninhabitable." Its natural re-
sources were locked from human ex-
ploitation, the lush growth in the bot
tom lands limiting at their presence,
waiting the key Of irrigation. For all
its amazing growth, Imperial County
has great tracts that have not responded
to mans needs or been subjugated to his
ambition. Progress has been rapid, but
1t has not conquered all.

Picking q Genius.

Thomas A. Edison tomorrow will at

brilliant American schoolboys one to
be trained as his successor.
What method Mr.. Edison will follow
Is not known. Doubtless he has in
mind some ingenious tests, but the

devised is open to serious question.
Mr.. Edison has added a great deal to
the wealth and happiness of the world.
But the greatest Of his inventive con-

any valid method Of selecting genius.
In the first place nobody has q clear

on the subject range all the way from
that Of supernatural inspiration to alb
normal arrangements Of nerve cells In
the telencephalon. It might be possible
to explain all Of the phenomena Of genius
perfectly in at least Q score Of ways

Of an impossible experimental check,
would be an interesting theory and
nothing more.

The Endurance Record.

While there probably will be many
persons who will say What of it?" in
regard to the feat of Dale Jackson and
Forest OBrine in breaking the worlds
endurance record for refueled airplanes,
the great majority will undoubtedly
realize that safe, sane and practical
flights of this nature increase public
confidence in aviation hundred-fold.
It may well be that no plane will ever
be required to stay constantly in the
air for seventeen and q half days or
to fly the twenty-five thousand miles
credited to the holder of the record;
but the mere fact that the motor of the
st. Louis Robin ran for that period of
time without stopping and the ship
held together in spite Of the enormous
vibration certainly causes the average
man to sit up and take notice and
scan the possibilities Of air travel be-
coming useful to him in his business.
Unquestionably, this country is
rapidly becoming "air-minded." At
tempted long-distance flights over
water in land planes do not bring about
confidence in the public mind. They
prove, whether successful or not, that
the flyers who essay them have more
valor than discretion. Coast-to-coast
dasheS, altitude flights and endurance
refueling tests not only develop scientific
facts for the use of the plane and
motor manufacturer, but present avn
alton in q favorable light to the public.
Who can doubt, for instance, that the
numbering" fight of MacReady and
Kelly across the continent In twenty
six hours several years ago pointed the
way to increased air mail service and
later to the passenger services that are
now being run in cooperation with the
railroads? What person is there who
did not get a thrill when Capt. Frank
Hawks zoomed into New York some
seventeen hours after leaving San
Francisco? And who does not feel more
confidence in aviation knowing that a
present-day motor will run without
faltering for two and a half weeks?
Endurance records have been broken
so frequently of late that it would be
idle to predict how long this one will
stand, although Jackson and O'Brine
have set it so high that 1t will take
a bit of determination for challengers
even to begin flight to break it. The
prospect Of spending nearly three weeks
in the air before a record is achieved
is not particularly alluring. Whether
it is broken or not the new endurance
record is a splendid achievement and
the two pilots are now receiving the ac-
claim they so richly deserve.

Number of Brothers
Determines Progress
BY e. E. FREE, PHI. ID.

To have three or four brothers and
sisters helps the German school child
to get promoted to the next grade. Less
or more than this optimum number III
the family tends to hold the school
child back. Such Is the apparent
meaning of statistics collected by Prof.
A. Busemann, whose records show every
boy or girl who failed to be promoted
in each Of six German schools, as well
as the family circumstances Of these
individuals. Families having four Or
five children, preferably close together
in age, present the best condition, the
Smaller families or larger ones show
smaller averages Of children promoted
Other children of the same sex seem
to be more potent, either for good
school work or bad, than those Of the
opposite sex. Three brothers. for ex-
ample, are of more use than three sis
tiers in helping the average boy to get
promoted. Boys with nine brothers, on
the other hand, are held back more
than boys with nine sisters. The same
rules apply to girl pupils; sisters having
more potent effects on a schoolgirls
progress than have brothers. One
thing that helps to explain these Curl
Gus statistical relations is, Prof. Buse-
mann believes, the amount Of parental
attention that children receive. A
single child receives too much; q child
in a very large family may receive too
little. Another factor, he images, Is
mutual rivalry for good marks. Four
boys of about the same ages will stimu-
late each other to do well In school.
Three sisters or too many brothers will
create less competition and have less
effect.

that interference In advance will be
mere guesswork.
II 1t Is the result Of combinations OF
brain cells and circumstances predic-
lions are almost equally futile-flrst
because the number of such possible
combinations would be infinite. and
secondly because the element Of cir
cumstance entering into them is I'M
practicable.
Mr.. Edison has available plenty of
standardized tests which will enable him
to select q boy Of more than ordinary
intelligence. II he is not satisfied with
them, as probably he Is not, he can de-
wise tests of his own. But when such
tests are applied he will have only half
the equation he has set out to solve.
The adjustment between intellect and
circumstance is either theological or a
matter Of luck. and in any event Is
extremely delicate. There Is every rea-
son to suppose that. granted ordinary
good fortune, the youth selected by Mr..
Edison will become an able and success
full man. There seems no reason what
soever to suppose that he will be more
than that.
Many an able and successful man
might turn out to be genius If he
had the good fortune to inherit a mil
lion dollars, or lose million dollars, or
be run over by an automobile, or marry
an extravagant woman, or come in con-
tact with an inspiring leader-or an
infinite number of other things any one
Of which might happen to At into the

Connecticut Laws.

There is much criticism Of the multi
plicity Of statutes, especially Of the
avalanches Of legislation which descend
upon States from the deliberations Of
their law-making bodies.
Frequently the view Is expressed that
the commonwealth would be better OF
II nine-tenths Of their laws were re-
scinded and some elbow room left for
the common sense and good will Of the
individual citizen.
Doubtless there is much to be said
in justification Of this view. But the
issue Is not entirely one-sided-as wit
ness the present plight Of good, old
Connecticut. Through q technicality
the State finds itself with 1893 Of its
laws wiped OF the books. It IS as If
they had never existed.
AS q result the State finds its affairs
in q mess. In fact, it will be almost
impossible for the machinery Of govern
ment to function until something is
done about it. Connecticut has plenty
Of laws left. Her Legislatures have
been pouring them forth since she was
admitted to the Union. Yet she Is seri-
ously embarrassed, and probably Gov.
Trumbull will be forced to call o special
session Immediately.
The whole situation illustrates the
extreme completely Of human relations
which must be regulated by statute. It
shows that even the absolute minimum
Of law required to regulate the affairs
of the present-day commonwealth is
quite bulky.
True, there is q constant stream Of
laws pouring upon the heads Of the
people-and many of them are unneces-
say and nonsensical laws. On the
other hand, conditions Of modern life
are changing so rapidly and so radically
that a great many new statutes are
required. Connecticut can no more
proceed under the statutes Of 1920 than
under the statutes Of 1870.

Up.and.Down Window
Hailed AS Triumph

From the Des Moines Tribune -Capitsl.
A Milwaukee man, engineer for an
automobile company, says he has de-
vised q window for railway coaches that
will go up readily when you want it up,
and go down as readily when you want
it down.
The window is an adaptation Of the
handy ratchet device SO generally-and
successfully-used in automobiles.
There Is o real benefactor Of the
human race, and a pity 1t is he didn't
come along before so many started rid
ing autos and planes.
II his device really works, and after
hard use keeps on working, it ought
to be worth as much to the railroads
In their fight to hold passenger bust
ness as o 50 per cent cut in rates.
And so far as competition between
trunk lines Is concerned, let one OF
them just equip with these handy up
and-down windows, and advertise the
fact fulsomely, and the rest OF the lines
will be put clear out Of the picture.

Prohibition Commissioner Doran re-
ports that the number of physicians
holding Federal permits to prescribe
whisky totaled So, Gas on June 80. Such
permits authorize 100 liquor prescrip-
lions every three months, 400 per year
per physician. One pint of whisky per
prescription is the authorized limit. 1t
follows that II each medical permittee
issued his full quota of prescriptions for
the full maximum each medico could
prescribe total of SO gallons of whisky
per year-a grand total Of so times
SO, 645, or 3,482,250 gallons. Commits
sioner Doran likewise reports that "the
withdrawal and consumption of whisky
for medicinal purposes from Govern
ment warehouses under Federal permit
for the fiscal year ending June 80 was
1,616,924 gallons" These figures ap-
pear conclusively to demonstrate that
the doctors holding Federal permits to
prescribe whisky as medicine, on the
average, utilize a little less than one
half their full quota"
