Do a COM ~, FREDERICK

IF it had been announced in Rome that brick
i layer was to marry cobbers daughter nobody s
life would have been endangered by the crush Of
enthusiastic multitudes, out six children were
tramped to death when the joyous throngs celebrated
the betrotha of King Boris of Bulgaria to Princess
Giovanni of Italy.
However, the Italians were not celebrating the
coming marriage of their princess they rejoicing
over a union which they thought would strengthen
their country in its threatened trouble with the
Balkans.
But such unions do not always determine the at
titude of countries in time Of war.
1T is said that Russia has made all plans to in
L wade Rumania and take back the territory which
used to belong to Russia and the world wonders what
the rest of Europe would do in such an event.
We don't know what the rest of Europe would do,
but do know that the United States would keep
out Of it.
One more interference in European wars would
establish the precedent; it would give us the habit
and would become the shock absorber for all
mankind
Uncle Sam then would be the trouble man for all
nations to summon.
So we'll stay home and mind our own business.
A ND now Brazil joins the procession of revolutions
in South America
Nothing is said about how powerful the Monroe
Doctrine is in determining the destiny of South
America in these days of revolution. but if it we're
for that little piece of paper Europe would find
way to get her hooks into South America and once
she had them in, she would stay.
You not blame France for refusing to disarm
when you read that the Steel Helmets of Germany
have joined hands with Htlers FascistS to fight for
the removal OF Germanys war penalties and that it
took the Steel Helmets six hours to parade carrying
5000 banners of the kasers time.
MYTH wars and rumors OF wars all over the earth
w man is in luck to be alive and in health and
in the United States.
We have unemployment and farm depression and
several other things that not attractive but along
side the rest of the world we are sitting on golden
cushion, eating angels food
You kindly sill observe that the League of Nations
pledged to keep the world it is has not lifted
hand to suppress any revolution that has occurred
No human organization can put this world in a
strait-jacket and forbid political institutions to
change.

WORTHY of Solomon

CURELY the problem involved are
~ fit to puzzle Solomon in all his
glory and his wisdom.
This husband is a wrestler. How
can a magistrate, even an astute
one, determine just what may fair
ly be set down as the average in
come Of a middleweight wrestler
"I'm too small for the big fell
lows says the defendant apologet-
ically. wrestling isn't what it
used to be-"
Surely here is a knotty point for
a judicial officer Of the city of New
York. There is no means of telling
whether the man, who would pay
less or nothing, is good in his pro-
fession or mediocre.
You can't quite say, 'Wrestle with
somebody here in the courtroom
and let me judge your ability and
your earning power"
In fact, rather think that under
the circumstances any child could
have thrown the wrestler-defend-
ant. His hope of easement lay in
the plea that he was not SO much

Upper Atmosphere

TINE earliest idea Of an ether was
Il that it was a sort of rarified air
which existed around the earth be-
yond the limits of the ordinary at
mosphere.
The Greeks used the word in the
general sense of a sort of upper
air.
Professor Spinney says, 1.-THE writ
ings of st. Thomas Aquinas, whom
we may regard as the spokesman Of
the religio-scientifice thinkers of the
thirteenth century. indicate a gen.
eral acceptance at that time of the
Ptolemaic system of astronomy.
'This system was founded upon
that assumption that as man was
the object of creation, so the earth
was the center of the universe, and
around it revolved concentric spheres
of air, ether, and force-the flaming
walls of the world-which carried
round the sun, stars and planets"
The Copernican theory overthrow
the Ptolemaic system and it be-
came necessary to find a new meth

planets.
Descartes, the philosopher, adj
vanced a theory that space was
filled with medium and that the
planets were carried by vortices in
this medium. Newton's theory Of
gravitation, of course, overthrow this
idea.
AS Professor Spinney points out,
Descartes' theory was a sort of an
ether theory.
The modern theory arose with
attempts to explain the transmits
sion Of light through the vast
reaches Of celestial space. It first
was employed, Professor Spinney
says, by Hooke and Huygens toward
the end Of the seventeenth century.

Ancient Records

THE beginnings of the ether
i theory. according to Professor
Spinney, are lost in the hazy rec
ords of antiquity. In more recent
times, the theory has had stormy
career.
1.-THE theory that space is filed
by an all-pervading medium having
properties unlike those of ordinary
matter was for a time quite geners
ally accepted" he says.
- Later on, it was rejected and all
but forgotten. It afterward, was
revived and strengthened and
brought to a high place in scientific
thought-only once more to fall into
serious question.
Eat the present time it struggles
for existence, but it shows signs OF
surviving and gives promise of con-
tinuing for long time to come. II
is doubtful if man in his thinking
ever can dispense with it altogether.
TO be sure, there are scientists of
today, as there always were in the
generations past. who profess to
have no need for the ether typo-
thesis; but curiously enough there
usually is collateral evidence that
these same philosophers make use
Of it in their thinking, however stu
diously they may avoid any refer
ence to it in their speech.
1.-THE astounding history of tbs
ether concept-of its rise and fall,
its resurrection and its continuing
powers probably without parallel
in the records of the scientific
world"

ted. 1t demands that the police ordinance known as
the eighteenth amendment be taken out of the Con-

Then he would have pledged his party in New
York to abolish the saloon and keep it abolished and

Scientists Differ Radically on.
the Existence f Ether and
What It's Properties Are.
ONE of the most fascinating. and
~ at the same time, most be-
wildering concepts Of science Is tlia0
of the existence of the ether.
Whether or not it exists, and II 50
what its properties are, IS a question
which today is bound up intimately
with the Einstein theory OF
relatively.
Professor L. B. spinney, president
of the Iowa Academy OF science
spoke on THE Ether Concept IN
Modern Physics" in his presidential
address before the academy.
"The ether theory attempts among
other things to explain The machin-
cry by which light and heat are
transmitted through regions devoid
Of ordinary matter-the radiant
energy. for example, which comes to
us from the sun across more than
10000, 900 miles of empty space.
It is, of course, this unbroken
stream of energy which. pouring
upon the surface of the earth,
makes possible here all the varied
forms of life, and the study Of life,
together with its conditions and
environments, is directly or indirect
" the ultimate objective of all
branches of physical and biological
science"

TINE case of Captain Flagg was

dered over to the court to see what

A NENdIA is a term used to de-
IN scribe any condition in which
the number of red cells in the blood
or the amount of red coloring mat
ter carried by the cells is reduced
greatly.
Such reduction may occur as
the result of hemorrhage following
wound or following the rupture
of an ulcer or some tissue within
the body. Sometimes the blood is
destroyed by the action of a poison
circulating in the blood, such poi
sons being either chamical or bac-
terial.
The chemical poisons may be
actual inorganic chemical sub
stances found in industry or may
be organic or protein substances
resulting from the tissue changes.
Sometimes the number of red
cells or the amount of red coloring
matter is reduced, due to the fact
that the organs concerned in
formation OF such cells are not
acting up to their proper capacity
and an insufficient number Of cells
is formed.
