There is doubt that men in America wear
out early Their eyes grow dim, hair white, step
slow and knees stiff, too early.
But they get things DONE which is i'm
portant than remaining young.
In the Argentine. few killed, many wounded and
fighting threatened Arpanes guard important
points, and Irigoyen, late President is locked in
accessible. The cable is censored, lack of employ
ment puts many in the streets that would otherwise
be at work serious situation may develop.
Irigoyen who used to denounce the Monroe Doc
trine may be changing his mind.
If there were no Monroe Doctrine this would be
an excellent time for some European or Asiatic
power to arrive, saying: with your kind permis-
sion we shall take charge"
That won't be done with Uncle Sans Monroe
warning posted up
Doctor Heyl, deep and genuine scientist of the
bureau of standards, is constructing device to
make the fourth dimension visible to the eye OF the
average man." He will not succeed because he him
self cannot imagine the fourth dimension except as
a mathematical theory. His contrivance thus far
looks like ball of popcorn"
The fourth. fifth, sixth and other dimensions that
are suggested seem to the ordinary man more like
ball of "poppy-cock."
Doctor Heyl has done something interest
ing than making men try to imagine what they can
not imagine He has actually weighed the earth on
which stand.
If you want to know how heavy 1t u.s. write down
the figures $685. followed by eighteen zeros.
The earth is about heavy as though made OF
solid steel and it is interesting that that
appalling weight, which live, floats always in
time around the through the ether, If the ether
really exists, which is an unsettled question.
Peggy Duncan, powerful nineteenyear-old girl
from South Africa, has conquered the English chan
mel, making the swim in sixteen hours fifteen min
utes but failing to beat Gertrude Ederle's record
Miss Ederle tell the young girl from South
Africa that swimming the channel does not pay.
You lose your hearing in the cold water, and the
world soon loses it's recollection of you.
Richard Whitney, president of the New York
Stock exchange says the country is getting back on
a firm business basis and that the stock exchange
was in no way responsible for the slump, unemploy-
ment, etc.
The latter statement is sound. The stock ex-
change and the ticker reflect, but do not create,
conditions The wave of stock gambling, wasting
the time of able men and scattering the money OF
fools caused trouble but that is not the fault OF the
exchange.
Marconi believes that radio waves will travel OF
millions of miles through space.
If the send rays Of Hght through oo'-
OOO 900 miles of space, there is reason why radio
waves shouldn't go far in the other direction
This ought to mean that we snail taik 10 .ie
other planets soon if they have any inhabitants able
to talk.
In welcoming the French flyers enthusiastically
President Hoover mentioned BYRD, tIlckeIpdchei
and the rest"
It is refreshing to hear Rickenbacker mentioned
proving that men who flew in the war are not en-
Their fving was unlike modern peace flying. as
different as the performance of hawk from that
of carrier pigeon. .
When Rickenbacker went up his plane or anoth,
had to crash. Time after time he went up, and
time after time he brought down the other planes
This he did more often than any other American
flyer ~
the praise of peace flying The public should not lei
him stay there.
