Resources Are Great

IRON an economic standpoint,
Il about all Palestine needs is i'm
migration and investment to make
it a rich and productive country. Its
resources are great, If somewhat
peculiar, and their lack of develop
ment is measureably due to the
clash of racial and religious antag-
onisms, of which it has been a CEN
ter for the last 1000 years.
The Jordan, which has attained
worldwide fame through the glamor
and romance of tradition, some day
will be producing vast amount of
electric power, while the Dead sea,
which has stood as a symbol of the
wrath of God, will yield untold
wealth, because of the very minerals
which have made it a terror to
men and animals.

L n was not racial or religious
prejudice, but football, that started
the disturbance in Palestine.
According to his version, some
Jewish boys we're bouncing the pig
skin against an Arabs house, when
the Arab became angered, captured
it and cut it to pieces, a quarrel fol-
lowed and one of the boys were
killed.
The next day, he says, the au-

Il conclusive deductions, the news
from Palestine also is reassuring.
Apparently the British have rnobi-
lized sufficient forces to stop general
disorder and to, warrant the hope
that normal conditions will be re-
stored within comparatively short
time.
One can believe that the worst of
the storm has passed, without being
overly optimistic, or without assum-
ing that the Arabs have laid aside
their antipatty.
The most discouraging aspect Of
the problem consists in the difficulty
of reconciling these people to yield
prestige in land which they have
dominated racially and religiously

Scores Are Killed

A CCORDTNG to the latest tabu-
L n lation, 152 persons have been
killed and 263 have been injured
seriously as the result of the present
disturbance. OF the 152 killed,
ninety-six were Jews, fifty two Arabs,
and four were Christians, property
loss, of course, has been enormous,
but the British government has an
nounced that it will make good the
damage.
Even so, the tragedy assumes
startling proportions, especially in
view of the doubt and disrnay it is
bound to spread among prospective
immigrants and investors.

Final Reckoning

r AM not at all sure that the final
L tally will reveal Henry Ford as
a benefactor of the American peo-
pie. The creation of cheap and
quick transportation is undoubtedly
a blessing, but over against that is
an important debit item.
Henry Ford, in his time, has done
as much as any man in this coun-
try to foment race prejudice. And
the most that can be said in his
defense is that he just didn't know
any better.
He never has been sufficiently as
tute to realize his own educational

0NE of the problems that has

lists for many years is the question
of determining the sex of the child
before it's birth.
There have been all sorts of
theories and suggestions for this
purpose, but none of them thus far
has sustained the test of scientific
investigation. 1t was thought for
long that the heart rate of boys
was slower than that Of girls, but
this is such a rough and ready
system that it can not be depended
on in any considerable number of
cases.
More than 200 years ago an in
vestigator assembled 262 different
theories as to the determination of
sex; today there are more than
1000 of these theories, but not one
of them has been sustained.

to admit that Henry Ford has not

better to say his mental limitations.
The fact that Mr.. Ford, during a

not necessarily be used against him.

BALCHEN, BYRD FLYER,
Is OLD PRIZE FIGHTER

Bernt Balchen, chief air pilot
with Commander Byrd's expedi-
ton to the Antarctic, is an old
prize fighter-who might still be
pushing leather if Tex Rickard
had only been a Norwegian.
Balchen's early life in the ring
is revealed in an intimate sketch
published by the American Mag
azine. He was born in Norway,
son Of a well-known surgeon. He
took up prize fighting in his ma
tive land, and had won quite a
reputation for himself when one
day he saw an airplane, took a
ride, and 'after that" he says,
"the fighting ring seemed a silly
place." tN
Measured simply in years, Bal
chen is not a veteran flyer. He
did not receive his pilots license
until 1920. But in these eight
years since his departure from the
Norwegian prize ring, he has par

Drive thy business, let not that drive thee.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.
AN INDEPENDENT PRESS

There is much truth in an address recently
made by newspaper expert, Frederick Lands
OF Logansport, Ind, before a large group of
newspaper men.
Among other things Mr. Lands called atten-
ton to the changes which time has wrought in
the management of newspapers In the old days
the newspapers were purely partisan, and upon
the shoulders Of the editors were supposed to rest
all the burdens Of the entire community, he said.
Today, however, publishers have become awak-
ened to the fact that if a newspaper is really to be
what its name implies there is every reason why
it should be conducted on business basis.
AS Mr.. Landis pointed out while we may
think back with some pangs of regret at the
recollection of the old time editor who made
everybody's fight but his own, we who have an
insight into the newspaper business know full
we'll that the present situation is the only sound
one from the standpoint Of those whose invest
ments are represented in newspaper equipment,
as we'll as for those who are in the employ of the
newspapers.
When we subject the proposition to a cold
analysis, as the speaker very cleverly put it,
there is no more reason for newspaper to wage
the campaign Of particular party or group Of
candidates. than for hardware store to be ex-
pected to do this.
In other words, the era Of the old partisan
press is practically at an end. Newspapers of
course, may nave Cnelf fnQlVlQual views and pre-
ferences, which will continue to express EDITORIAL
ly, as their policies dictate. Their news columns,
though, will more and more be kept free from
personal taint of editorial bias There is no valid
reason why any political or business group should
feel that the columns of the newspaper ought to
be turned over for the exploitation of their par
tcular plans or purposes. The newspapers are
supported by citizens in all walks of life, of all
political faiths, and of all religious creeds. For
this reason the same obligations, Of faithful serv-
ice on the part of the newspaper apply to all.
While the editorial columns of the newspaper
should be conducted along constructive plane,
these but represent the individual views of the
management. From the uncolored news col
umns of the newspaper, the reader is kept fully
informed so that he may form his own opinions.
There is no longer any reason why citizens should
not make up their own minds, rather than be
forced to follow the editorial opinion of their
newspaper Life is too complex, nowadays for
the sit7-ation to he otherwise.

forthwith by dye experts, even
though these men will not be able
to see an actual sample of the
original color for some days"
Guesswork is eliminated by. the
new machine. An exact match is
not only made, but it is recorded,
so that if a standard textile color
should fade, it can be checked up
and corrected months or years
later.
The machine, which has practi-
cal application in scores of indus
