At the Opening

NEVER before had seen the
IN market open, but this time L
determined to be present. Before
the fatal hour I went around seek
ing advice.
Charlie G. told me to buy traction
stocks, because there would be very
few taxis used out of Wall Street
on the morrow. He also said Enid
colt johnson shoe stock would be a
good buy under the circumstances.
Joseph B. said he didn't know
what I was going to do, but he
purposed to take a secondhand
airplane, a gas stove and a Chinese
cook downtown with him in case
they wanted collateral.
I asked an old gentleman what
would happen, and he replied: Il
DIDN'T think it will make much diff
ference" This encouraged me until
found that he was hard of hear
ing and thought that I had asked
him his opinion of the weather.

ShaWIS Prediction

MOT to be outdone by science.
~ George Bernard Shaw gazes
into the crystal of his own magma
ton and casts the horoscope of
England and America thirty years
hence.
He finds that England is doomed
to be a small star in the American
flag and that democracy will result
in such ruthless and unintelligent
despotism as to make the race glad
to be saved by kindly disposed
king.
Critics say that Shaw has over
stepped himself this time, and that
his latest play, "The Apple Cart"
proves nothing so wildly as that a
man of 70 should be content to rest
on his laurelS.

The Poor Man Gains

vacation motor trip through the American
countryside leads to a number of interesting con-
clusions-among them the thought that the rich
mans advantage over the poor is growing smaller
every year.
Fifteen years ago. cross-country motoring was
recreation confined largely TO the well-to-do 1t took
a fairly expensive car to stand up under the daily
grind of long-distance driving. Travelling expenses
we're heavy. If the poor man tried such trip he
had to put Up with many kinds of diScomforts, strain
his financial power to the limits, and miss many of
the spots to which the rich mans carried him.
Today there are millions of tourists the sum-
mer roads. Automobiles of every price and model
bearing the license tags of every state in the union
whirl by in dzzying procession. There are old cars
news cars cheap cars expensive cars fast slow
cars- spinning the roads, bearing their owners
in pursuit of one of the finest forms of recreation
available.
Among this army of autos. the cars of the poor
man and poor man. in fact, are equals on the open
road. The poor man can go anywhere the ricn man
can go and enjoy anything the rich man can enjoy.
The same good roads are available to each. The
same scenery is open to EACH The who paid
$500 for his car can go just far and just fast
as the man whose car cost $1,000 He can enjoy pre-
cisely the same sights and sensations. 1t is only in
the unimportant trimmings of the trip that he is
outcassed.
The rich man. for instance, rides in slightly
greater comfort He stops at expensive hotels while
the poor man pays dollar for a room IN a private
home-or perhaps pitches his tent some free camp
ing ground The rich man, perhaps, eats better food
along the way and buys more souvenirs and keep
sskes in the towns he visits Otherwise the two fare
exactly alike.
There is a new sort OF equality 10 all of this The
tabled democracy of America is being made more real
ny H. No longer are the beauties of mountains sea-
shore and upland lakes reserved for the enjoyment
Of the ven-to-do. Any with three-year-old
hivver and few spare dollars can have his I'LL of
them.
This is the thing that the automobile makers have

Two Ways to Be Asphyxiated

for a considerable period of time
without dying, provided no poison
gas is present.
The badness of the air is due in
such cases to increased temperature
and humidity and lack Of movement.
If a person is quiet, seven hours
are required to reduce the oxygen
in cubic meter of air to one-half
its normal oxygen content. About
this time discomfort and danger be-
gin to develop.
When the brain tissue is deprived
of oxygen, it reacts more quickly
than any other tissue. If the nerv-
Gus system is without oxygen for
ten minutes, irreparable damage
may develop.
Thus, if a person is under water
for ten minutes, he sometimes may
be resuscitated, but the damage to
the nervonuS system may be so great
as to be permanent.

Women Fliers

The death of Marvel CroSSon in the womens air
derby brings up the question of the participation OF
women in the flying game. Race officials being
criticised.
Such criticism may be natural but is it reasonable?
If a woman wants to take risk, isn't it her own
business-provided that she is qualified and capable
pilot, as Miss CroSson was?
If there is to be criticism, it should be directed at
participation by inexperienced woman pilots There
are women in this race who have been flying only a
few weeks and who are said to now be making their
first long cross-country flight.
Ironically enough Miss Crosson was perhaps the
best ier of the nineteen who left Santa Monica Sun
day for Cleveland. She had been in aviation since
1922 She few with her brother in Alaska. She set
records She understood aviation.
She would not want her death to influence public
opinion against trained women fers

Protecting the Peonle

1T goes without saying that peo-
L pie must have means to protect
themselves and their rights in cases
of emergency; to get rid of incom-
petent or tyrannical officials; to
alter policies that do not harmon
ize with deep-seated convictions.
Such guarantees are of defen-
sive, rather than a constructive
character, and that is where de-
mocracy shines.
In the constructive or creative
field of government. however, de-
mocracy is a handicap, just as mass
opinion would be a handicap if it
dominated medicine, or engineering.

SLAVERY DEBATES
Aug. 81


Aug. 81
ON Aug. 81, 1858, Abraham Lin
" coin and his great rival, Stephen
A. Douglas, began their series of
seven debates on the question Of
slavery.
The seven places. one in each
Illinois congressional district, and
the dates were: Ottawa, Aug. 81;
Freeport, Aug. q; Jonesboro, Sept.
Is; Galesburg. Oct. Z; Quincy, Oct.
10. and Alton, Oct. IS.
In the famous Freeport debate,
Lincoln asked: Can the people of a
United States territory, in any law
full way, against the wishes Of any
citizen of the United States, exclude
slavery from its limits, prior to the
formation of a state constitution"
If Douglas answered No. he would
deny his pet doctrine Of popular
sovereignty; if he answered Yes,
he would antagonize the dominant
politicians of the south, led by JEFF
ferSon Davis, who maintained that
the only power that could deal with
slavery was the municipal power OF
state, and furthermore he would
set the local authority Of the
territory above the supreme court
which had declared slavery legal IN
all the territories of the United
States by the bred Scott decision.
Douglas answered in the affirn1a-
tive and tried to wriggle out OF the
trap by declaring that although
slavery might be legal In a ter
ritory 1t could not actually exist for
an hour or day where the people
enacted legislation unfriendly to It.

A PERSON can be asphyxiated in
"A one of two ways.
First, he may stop breathing
through shutting off his windpips
or by some action on the breathing
center in the brain which interferes
with the motion of the diaphragm,

When this happens, the person
does not get oxygen from the air

he figured he should be able to stop
