Sky Rockets Into Unknown

For many years DR.. Robert H. Cod

studying the subject of skyrockets !;
now liberal gift from Daniel Gug-
genheim insures more ambitious re-
search.

which balloons and airplanes can rise
because of the rarity of the atmos-
phere, but the rocket, propelled by the
recoil Of gases, might travel in the
thinnest medium. Fuel must be pow

liquid hydrogen and oxygen seems the

Should Have Known
What He Would Do

The hero of this one is not exactly
as meek as Moses, but yields often 10
the wishes of somewhat domineer-
ing wife, with mental reservations.
The two went north not so long
ago and, when the husbands two
weeks Of vacation were over, he
yielded to her entreaty that she be
allowed to stay on the lake for the
remainder Of the month and assured
her everything would be all right at
home. OF course, he would take his
meals out, but he would sleep at
home and take care of everything
just as she would were she right
there.
The woman came home Sunday to
find the grass out Of bounds, every
window shade awry, and ashes, ciga-
rette stubs, newspapers and whatnot
scattered everywhere. But greater
than her dismay at the disorder was
the shock she received at friend hus-
bands attitude toward her displeas-
ure at the state of affairs.
There was no apology, no remorse
on the part of the culprit.
"What is the meaning of this?" she
asked, falling into the time-worn
question that wives save up for just
such situation.
tits just my idea of Revolt in the
DESERT" he answered calmly, and
stood his ground right there.-Kan-
sas City Star.

For all of it's outward calm, New York was a busy little city on Tues. day as the election returns of the evening showed. However, the vot- ing was early and heavy and the fact that the city went SO strongly for Governor Roosevelt in the face of the tpye of campaign waged against him and the bitterness aroused by the recent judicial scandals. was as much of surprise to New Workers themselves as it was the rest of the country. Quite apart from the magic of the name of Roosevelt in New York State--and 1t is not so glamor- ous a name In this second generation after Theodore the Great as it was in his lifetime--the Governor retains the respect and affection of a great part of the state. That his election was a part of a general Democratic landslide did not detract one whit from the Governors personal victory. The only hope down here is that he will be given the strength and the help to maintain a vigorous adminis- tration and wage war on the forces that are making of New York sink of criminology and corruption that begins to rival far-famed Chicago.
 With the election over, the city promises to turn to the increasingly difficult problem of unemployment It isn't pleasant sensation for the New Yorker fresh from his breakfast and hustling to his subway hole to be stopped by a man or woman begging for aims and obviously needing them Yet this is happening. Moreover there is something rather heart-rend- ing about the sight of Sixth Avenue at every hour of the day crowded with thousands hopelessly reading tho few notices of Help Wanted" in front of the many employment of- fees. Times are bad and New York is feeling their effects and seeing i them, too.
