Oklahoma unveils a fine statue to
the pioneer woman. Women have al
ways been earth's real pioneers, in
ideas and in action.
Far back in the Stone age they had
produced all the grains we know by
developing the seeds of wild plants.
They tanned female buffaloes to pro-
vide milk for their children, planted
gardens, changed human beings from
q nomandic to a settled life.
They are the pioneers of the from
tiers and pioneers in ideas and in
religion.
The influence of mothers on their
sons in the last million years has
changed men from prognathous can
nibals to semi-civilized money grub
bers. 1t is a great improvement.
The Last Mans club of Stillwa-
ter, Mimi, has buried its last but one
member. Eighty-seven years old,
Charles Lockwood accompanied to the
grave the body of his friend, Peter
Hall, who died at ninety-ope.
Now Lockwood Is the last. When he
goes the club will end.
Some day the last member of the
human race club will die with no
one left to bury him. Or perhaps some
friendly cataclysm will wipe out the
earth and the last few thousands left
on it.
That is a long way off, millions of
millions of years away, according to
scientists.
What will men achieve meanwhile?
William Manck, forty-eight years a
letter carrier, absent only one week
in forty-eight years, retires. His SUI
periors shake hands with him and
are photographed doing it. That's kind,
but Uncle Sam might do more.
He might give William Manck and
other faithful servants Of the post
office a generous pension on which
they could live comfortably when their
hard work is done.
And without waiting for them to
be worn out, he might give them gen
erous pay, which he does not do.
The richest employer in the world
should be at least just.
Professor Shapley, director Of the
Harvard observatory, hears from Can

around our sun, hitherto unknown to
