SPECULATION as to the effect of
- Premier Brands fall on European
politics is interesting, rather than
timely.
The chances are that BRAND will
not be out very long.
Because the chaotic condition of
French politics, it is much easier
to upset cabinet than to form
one.
No party has a majority, any,
thing like it, in the French cham
be-, which means that man with
poise and prestige enough to satisfy
several groups is needed.
Once the storm of opposition has
spent itself, either BRAND or some
one in accord with his ideas will be
accepted.
Clemenceau, retired, 88, and busy
writing books when he is well
enough, hastens to deny any share
in Brands fall.
That is merely habit expressing
itself.
Clemenceau has caused the down.
fall of more cabipets than any other
living Frenchman, and has become
SO accustomed to being blamed
whenever one falls that he probably
thought it necessary to clear him
self before hand.

From Now On

I"NNCE upon time" writes H. R.
" you did good book called
= -. Why not get busy and
turn out another?"
AS a matter of fact, I always
liked g - -" myself, but at the
moment I haven't got sufficient
character to sit down and write a
full-length novel.
Even a short one would be just
about as much as fifty columns and
it wouldn't be feasible to pad it out
by pasting up letters from people.
Nevertheless, I'm almost on the
verge of making new and good
resolution.
Beginning next Monday, or per-
haps a week from then, it is my in
tention not to permit any friends or
well-wishers to get in the way of
American literature.
Nobody is going to entice me away
by saying, well, come over for just
half an hour" I'll laugh scornfully
at such temptations and hang up
on them.
When anybody tries to write a
book, every mans hand is against
him. Don't these people stop to
think of the evil they are doing?
Suppose people had pestered
Shakespeare by calling up and say
ing, 1.-THE last rounds will start posi-
lively at IL o'clock" And there is
no record that anybody dropped in
on Milton and suggested, well, a
couple Of cocktails can't possibly do
you any harm"
Still he might have been strong
enough to say, mo" The differ
ence between me and Milton is that
he had character.

Not Half Bad

ATOW, as matter of fact, I'm not
IN half bad, although 1 might be
willing to compromise for SO 1-3 per
cent. In writing am general truth
full. Practically all my lying is oral.
Moreover. there is very little harm
in that because I do 1t so badly that
invariably I am found out. Surely
a man whose lies are so palpable
that they fool no one can hardly
be classed as deceiver.
Besides, when I say, IF that isn't
true I hope to drop dead on the
spot" I always mean it. 1 wouldn't
dare to lie under such circum-
stances.
In addition to being modest I am
just a little tinid. Not everything
frightens me, but I am afraid Of
thunderstorms and airplanes (both
the ones they want you to ride In
and the other that drop bombs in
the vicinity during war tines, bark
ing dogs, people that speak up
sharply to me, going to the dentist
and loose COWS such as have been
in the family long time.
That doesn't all need to be
changed. "A man can have character
and be a coward too. In fact, a
natural timidity increases your po-
tentiality for magnificent heroism.
The man who fears nothing de-
serves no great amount of credit for
plunging into the surf to rescue a
drowning girl But If I ever make a
leap like that it will be news. It
would be necessary for me to over
come both my terror of the waves
and the young woman.
Maybe I'm something of a cad.

cussed the possibility of finding
these worms. When the famous
founder of microscopy, Leeuwen-
hook, discovered the wrigglers and
germs of various kinds in the tar
tar scraped from between the teeth
in 1888, it was believed that he had
verified this fact.
In many European countries to-
day, uneducated people still think
that a worm is the cause. The rea-
son probably is that a tooth which
was pulled had some of the pulp
hanging at the end and this has a
worm-like appearance.
Because Of this belief in the worm
as a cause of toothache, many of
the popular remedies are appeals to
the worm to come forth and be
DESTROYED.

Young Stars

Ut is possible to account for the
L vast amount to energy continue
ously released by the stars and the
sun only on the basis that electrons,
the fundamental particles of matter
are being annihilated within these
bodies and their total mass con-
verified into energy.
Since the energy of a star arises
from the humiliation of matter, the
star must be continuously losing
weight. 1t follows further that the
star radiating the Creates amount
OF energy must be the scene of the
most rapid humiliation.
Professor Jeans made a table
ranging the different types of stars
according to the amount of energy
which they radiated. AS he points
out, it was significant that this
table did not result in arranging
the stars according to temperature.
In other words, the hottest stars
were not those in which the
greatest humiliation of matter
went on.
But instead, he found that the
greatest humiliation went on in the
most massive stars and the least in
the least massive stars.
Now, if stars continuously are
losing weight, it follows that the
most massive stars are the youngest
and the least massive are the
oldest.
In other words, the stars in which
the greatest humiliation goes on
are the youngest stars.
1t was from this fact that Pro-
fessor Jeans drew his conclusion
that the interior of stars consisted
Of a different type Of matter. The
old stars radiate less energy because
they have less of this matter left
within them.

Matter Million Times More

Prof. j. H. Jeans, secretary of the
Royal Society Of London and re-
search associate Of the Mt. Wilson
Observatory of California.
Professor Jeans calls this material
lucid matter" borrowing his term
from the great Sir Isaac Newton,
formulator of the law Of gravity.
Because the stars shone by their
own light, Newton suggested In a
letter written in 1892 that the stars
might be composed of a special
lucid" type of matter different
from the ordinary or "non-lucid'
matter found on earth.
Study of the sun and stars with
the spectroScope reveal the pres
ence Of the same chemical elements
known here on earth-hydrogen
helium, iron, copper and so on. The
only difference is that they are at
imense temperatures, ranking from
5000. to 10000 degrees.
Professor Jeans points out, how
ever, that in our study of the sun or
stars We are able to analyze only
their outer gaseous layers. The ques-
ton is still to be settled as to
whether or not the interiors resem-
bic the outer layers.

From Buffalo comes the enlight-

gone the way of all flesh and

1t is run by four groups, we are
now informed, two in Canada, one
in United States and one in a trop-
ical country.
With plenty of credit and a highly
developed organization, these groups
control the international traffic.
During the last twelve months
they are said to have smuggled
more than three million gallons of
"hooch" into the country, which
would represent a business of nearly
$100,000,000 at So quart.
