 Father Ricard was born at Plaisians, Drome, France, January 21, 1850. He travelled extensively in Africa, Italy and France when a youth and was educated at the high school at Turin, Italy, and the Jesuit novitiate at Monaco, France. After coming to the United States he was a student at Woodstock College, Maryland, and then became a teacher of philosophy and ethics at Santa Clara. The university ob- servatory was built largely with money received from friends and believers of his theory. The Uni- versity of Santa Clara held a jubi- lee on May 30, 1921, in honor of Father Ricard's completion of 50 years in the priesthood.

 Used by Aviators
 This peculiar quality of the 1ur is also recommending it for use on the parka hoods of aviators.
 Heretofore, wolverines have been marked for extermihation, if pos sible, as animals of slight worth in comparison with their destruc- tiveness. In the near future demand for their pelts in aviation may cause the creatures to be objects Of tender care and solicitation on the part of fur farmers

 Father Ricard became interested in astronomy about 1890 and de- voted much time to the study of 2 the subject. He took up the obser vation and study of sunspots about 1900, and after six years, during which observations in comparison with the earths weather were made, he became convinced that by not ing the position of the sunspots accurate weather forecasts could z be made by them.

Food Pfofteers

While all eyes have oeen on the farmer and his
losses during the drought some cities are beginning 70
suffer through the increase in food prices Some OF
the increases may have been justified, but in the main
there can be no excuse for price boosting, because
there is no food shortage-not yet, anyway.
Fortunately, the federal government has been quick
to see this danger and to send out warnings Inc ao
rnstration proposes to protect the cities as vel as
aid the farms
Secretary Of Agriculture Hyde has announced that
food urofteers will be punished under the law. Ger
tany such action should be taken, but it is not at all
clear that present laws adequately cover this kind OF
situation.
Probably the most effective method in the end Will
prove TO be publicity If the department OF agriculture
will carry out its plan give prompt publicity IN key
cities On the amount Of foodstus and dairy products
on hand and on prices received by producers II VIII
not be easy for middlemen to unjustifed price
increases on the basis Of a fake shortage.
But such federal publicity is not enough. unless
municipal authorities cooperate fully the unscrupu-
lous traders can not be restrained.
The system should work both ways, however. Inc
time NAV come when price increase is legitimate IN
certain commodtes-for instance, in milk The dairy
farmers deserve fair price and that price will rise
# MANY more COWS must be killed because of the
drought.
In such cases. the problem Of the federal and mu-
rcual authorities is to see that the farmer instead
of the rddleman gets the increase paid by the con-
sumner.

Tess Only a Rubber Stamp

Selection of Senator Tess of Ohio as chairman
of the Republican national committee doesn't mean
much so far as the personality, if any, of FesS is
concerned. 1t simply that Postmaster General
Brown also of Ohio, is in the saddle. And he is
probably the smartest politician in the Hoover camp
Early in 1928 Secretary Work was managing the
campaign for Hoovers nomination, and Brown, though
assistant to Secretary of Commerce Hoover, was
sidetracked. Work was eager to become chairman
of the national committee that he didn't want to
fight the old guard organizations to get Hoover deIe-
gates, for fear he would antagonize the old guard
state organizations and lose their support for
chairman.
Brown wanted to fight the Willis organization in
Ohio the Watson organization in Indiana and any
other state organization that stood in Hoovers way
In the meantime, the old guard didn't want Hoover
and was stacking up the game to put Dawes over.
after Lowden had been given for his money
and never given enough votes to nominate him.
If Hoover hadn't fought Willis in Ohio, he wouldn't
have gotten second choice vote in that state, and
mighty few of them in any state whose delegation
was controlled by the old guard.
With rank and file Republicans favorng his nom
ination and the old guard against him. Hoovers only
chance to lick the old guard in the selection of
delegates. Brown favored that kind of fight at a
time when there was no fight in Hoover. He won
out in time to beat the Willis organization in Ohio
and to convince Hoover's fighting followers that he
really would fight.
When Work got out of the saddle Brown climbed
in. With FesS taking Hustons job, Brown can be
and will be postmaster general and at the same time
the real chairman of the national committee. Tess
is merely rubber stamp. He will do as he is told
Brown will tell him.

New Flying Records

Two spectacular flying records were smashed
Wednesday The ST. Louis ferS passed the 553-
hour endurance mark of the Hunter brothers, and
kept on going. Captain Frank Hawks took the
eoast-to-coast record away from the Lindberghs by
flying from California to New York in II hours and
IS minutes.
The country is no doubt little sick Of endurance
flying But regardless of the silly aspect of the thing
the consistency with which record after record
falls these days shows what remarkable piece Of
machinery the airpane motor has become.
Hawks record, it seems to u.s. is more important.
Flying from coast to coast in racing plane in twelve
and one-half hours today means that regular pas
senger planes will be doing the thing in few
years.
1t is entirely sensible to predict that, within ten
years, passenger planes equipped with sleeping COM
partments will leave one coast at dark and reach the
other by daylight. And the business man will have
lost no time at all in making the trip.
Frank Hawks by combining his aerial exploits to
fast flights over land instead of trying to beat the
ocean by plane only has treated his own life with
an admirable degree Of respect, but has added more
than his share to the development of faster and
faster sirplanes. He IS to be congratulated on both
points.

Southern Republicans

The latest blast of the southern Republican organ
ization has fallen rather fiat.
In the first place it followed the primaries and
the action of the voters spoke louder than the mani
festo of Horace Manns G. o. P. committee OF the
south The Democrats in Arkansas who tried 10 pre-
vent the denomination Of Senator Robinson, minority
leader in the senate because he was running mate
of All Smith in 1928 turned out to be few IN NUMBER
The appeal TO bigotry failed Robinson won, and in
doing 50 he proved that the 1928 Democratic split is
not important in 1880.
Likewise in Alabama the heavy primary vote
noed by the regular Democratic candidates indicated
that Senator Tom Hen, the king of boilers, probably
viii not get very far in his election campaign as an
independent" candidate.
These results in Arkansas and Alabama are in
line of course with the earlier primary defeats Of
the so-caIed Hoovercrats in Virginia, North Carolina
Florida and Texas
SO it appears that Manns crowd will not have the
essv time in the next election that it did in the last
The inherent weakness of the Mann movement is
revealed by the statement of principles and OBJ
jectives" issued Wednesday 1t is the same old Ku-
KIux Khan sort of hokum. 1t demands wholesale de-
portation of aliens and passage of federal laws of
repression which would in effect destroy the Bill OF
Rights and constitutional guarantees of civil liberties
It opposes commercial well political relations
with Russia 1t opposes American participation even
in international fiscal conferences. 1t attempts to
attribute the growing popular demand for prohibition
repeal to powerful financial interests.
Doubtless there is need for real two-party system
in the SOUTH and that extent there is opportu
nifty there for the right kind Of Republican organiza
ton.
But in view of the primary results and the klan-
like platform of the Mann committee, it seems very
improbable that this particular southern Republican
movement will worry the Democratic party again.

BeautifuI-And Not Dumb

Add another tribute to the already glorious record
of 17-year-old Dorothy Dell Golf of New Orleans who
chosen the worlds most beautiful girl" at re-
cent Galveston beauty pageant; she's truthful.
For Dorothy-beautiful, but by no means dumb
canddly admits that washing dishes gives her great
big pain and cooking is something she despises. A
romantic and less straightforward beauty contest
winner would pirate for hours her alleged joys
putterng around the kitchen, most of them have
done in interviews.
It's the customary thing for newly crowned fem
mime celebrities to pose neat little home makers
but when you come right down to it no girl likes to
cook and wash dishes any better than boy likes to
carry out the furnace ashes the lawn. There
fore, Dorothy is to be congratulated on having the
courage to speak out.
Sure there's lot of romance in home making, but
that doesn't include cooking in a hot kitchen . or
hopping bathroom floors or bathing stack of
dirty dishes almost high ones self after every
meal
