wall Street and West Agree


Wall Street and the mid western farmer are tradi-
tional enemies Each distrusts the Judgment Of the
other To curse wall Street is the shortest cut to
popularity for political candidate in farm state
When the farmer and Wall street agree on any
thing it is startling and significant
That has happened OF all things, they agree on
a political question.
Both are opposed to the Grundy bilon-dollar tariff
bill
This is indicated by two newspaper polls an
nounced Yesterday The farmers Of seven midwestern

William Bolitho had been newsboy
day laborer, student, soldier and

I saw him he told me of his days
as a mason's helper on construc-
ton job in Capetown.

has something to do with the de-
struction and removal Of defective
blood elements.
Before the discovery of the mi
croscope no one knew anything
certain about the actual COM
position Of the blood. In fact, it Is
only within recent years that the
platelets we're discovered and that
any relationship was found between
the platelets and various disease
conditions.
In many forms of septic infection,
in tropical diseases such as kala-
azar and similar eruptive skin dis
orders, the number of plateletS is
found to be greatly reduced and
spots appear upon the skin.
Ordinarily blood will coagulate
or clot in two or three minutes.
In some cases when the coagulating
factors are interfered with, the
blood fails to coagulate and there is
great danger of extensive hemor-
rhage.
When the plateletS are low, the
blood may coagulate promptly, but
the tendency to bleed be great.
The facts that have been cited
show how complex in character are
the modern scientific Investigations
of disease conditions.
They represent merely an angle
of the evidence Is available to prove
that scientific medicine has adj
vanced more in the last twenty-five
years than in the previous fifty
centuries.

DOLITHO'S dead at Avignon.
II There has passed, I think, the
most brilliant journalist of our time.
This is not the overstatement of
one who mourns a friend. While he
f1ourished expressed the opinion
that Bolitho's best was far and
away beyond the topmost reach of
any newspaper competitor.
1t was pleasant to praise him be-
cause he lent some of his glory and
achievement to all the rest. think
that there is no reporter, or critic,
or columnist who does not smart
under the popular and snobbish as
sumption that anybody who sets his
stuff down day by day is Of neces-
sity a hack. All men live under
the hope that one day they may
touch greatness.
It is not inevitable that today's
strip of newsprint should be more

dust bin. The man who writes well

thing before him CAN win his i'm
mortality even though his piece ap-
pears obscurely in Wall Street edi-
ton.
Most of us on papers, for all our
swagger, are at least five and a half
times too humble. We are apt to
say, ooh, I'm just a newspaper
man."
We know better than that. There
is no reason why a first-rate man
on any newspaper should yield pre-
cedence to every novelist and minor
poet and little essayist.
There is no special magic in get
ting between boards. Last years
novel is just as dead as last years
paper. Indeed know few sights more
horrible than secondhand bookstallS
on which dead volumes are exposed.
Bolitho, to be sure, had his fling
in bound sheets, but much Of his
finest appeared in the New York
World. And these essays will still
remain, Though he is dead at Avig-
non.

TINE average person considers
i blood as merely a fluid which
pours out of the skin when cut is
made. To the physician, the blood
is one of the important tissues in
the body. It is concerned largely
with feeding the body cells, with
enabling them to overcome attacks
of disease, and with transporting
vital substances about the body.
The glands of internal secretion
pour into the blood the substances
which they elaborate, and these
substances control the body's &C

The blood contains formed ele-

include red blood cells, white blood
cells, and plateletS.
The red blood cells contain hemo-
globin, which is the red coloring

permitting the blood to carry oxy-

The white blood cells are of sew

RECIPROCITY TREATY
June Z

0N June 7, 1854, the Marcy Elgin
~ treaty between the United
States and Great Britain, which
regulated reciprocal commercial re-
lations with Canada and Newfound-
land, was signed.
Under terms of the treaty the
natural products of each country
were to be exchanged without duty.
The articles exchanged were to be
the produce of the farm, forest,
mine, and fisheries. The treaty
also provided for liberal fishing
privileges for American fishermen
and mutual transportation rights.
Although the treaty was to re-
main in force for ten years, it was
actually in operation for eleven. At
the outset it was beneficial to both
contracting parties, but as time
progressed the preponderance Of
commercial advantage was heavily
in favor of Canada
One Of the reasons why the
United States abrogated the treaty
was that Canada extended sympa-
thy and assistance to Confederate
refugees in their hostile movements
along the ESrder during the Civil
Wars

of newspapermen to behave like

1t Is Not Possible That the
Stars Could Be Like the
Planets.

BY DAVID DIETZ

A READER of these articles asks
4 \ an interesting question. He
writes:
IF the sensible disc of planet is
sensible because Of the nearness of
it, is it not possible that the points
Of light which we call stars also
may be planets, though not Sensibly
so, because of their distance?"
This reader has noted two inter-
eSting facts of astronomy, namely
that a planet appears as disc in
even a fairly small telescope, while
the most powerful telescope in the
world does not show star to be
anything but a point of light.
He is also correct in realizing that
the planets are quite close to us,
while the stars are very far away.
But the answer to the question
which he asks is mo" 1t is not
possible that the stars could be like
the planets. There is a great body
Of evidence pointing decidedly in
another direction. Let us look at
this evidence.
The planets are eight in number
one of the eight being our own
earth. These revolve around the
sun. There are also some smaller
planet-like bodies, called the
asteroids; also the new Planet x
which has recently been named
Pluto.
Pluto, however, may turn out to
be too small to rank with the eight
larger planets. 1t also may be that
Pluto is one Of number of smaller
planets somewhat like the asteroids.

Light

NTOW if stars were cold bodies
IN like planets, they would not
be visible at all if they had to de-
pend upon our sun for their light
1t is obvious at once that our sun
could illuminate them.
Furthermore, if some other sun
lighted them up, we ought to have
no difficulty in seeing it.
The simplest conclusion-and the
conclusion which all evidence sup
ports-is that the stars are objects
like our own sun, which shine by
their own light.
In other words, every star is a
sun. Or if you want to state it the
other way, our sun is a star.
Astronomers sometimes refer to
our sun as "the nearest star"
The reason stars appear only as
points of light is due, as the letter
correctly infers, because they are so
far away. But the light with which
they shine is their own.
The spectroscope reveals that the
stars range in temperature from
about 1000 to 10000 degrees, Cent?
grade.
Other measurements reveal that
the stars range in size from some
about third the size of our own
sun, to some many times larger.
The largest star known is Antares,
with diameter of 415,000, 900 miles,
Another question sometimes asked
is whether the distant stars may
not have planets revolving around
them Just as our own sun has.
Many astronomers think this may
be so.
But there is no way to prove it.
No telescope, it is believed, ever will
be powerful enough to settle the
question

Reflected

ATOW the planets are not far
- away from the sun as distance
go in astronomy. Mercury, the
nearest one, is 35,95O,0oO miles from
the sun. The earth is 100000
miles from the sun. Neptune, outer
most Of the eight planets, is 2,792,-
900, 600 miles from the sun.
All these planets shine by reflect
ed sunlight. This is evident from
spectroScopic investigation. The
spectroscope is an instrument for
analyzing light. 1t shows the light
which we receive from the planets
to be the same as that of the sun.
The brilliance with which the
planets shine in the sky is also
what we should expect if they shone
by reflected sunlight.
The thermocouple, very delicate
electrical thermometer, shows that
all the planets with the exception of
Mercury, have quite low tempera-
lures. In the case of Mercury, the
closest planet to the sun, one face,
which is always turned to the sun,
has a temperature of about 800 de-
greeS.
Our sun, which furnishes the light
and heat for the solar system, has
a surface temperature of 5000 de-
grees on the Centigrade scale or TO-
600 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale,
the one in ordinary use in this
country.
The sun is much larger than our
earth. 1t would take 100000
bodies the size of our earth to make
one the size of the sun.
Now let us see what astronomers
have to say about the stars. First
of all, we note that the stars are
very far away. The nearest star is
25,000,000,000 miles away. Other
stars are ten times, 100 times, even
1000 and 10000 times as far away.
