A PREHISTORIC PEOPLE MADE
BRILLIANT DISCOVERY


by arthur lev carpenter
II is startling what prehistoric
peoples discovered about natures
phenomena! The Chaldeans noted
this: That eclipses on sun and moor
recur in a regular order over a
period Of Is years IL l-3 days CO.
l-3 days If there are five leap
years. This period contains $685. 80
days. They called the period a sar-
os. The total number Of eclipses
during the period Is about 20, OF
which Al are solar and % lunar.
After that another like period be-
gins all Owe again in the same
relative order. only the next solar
eclipse Is always 100 degrees far
Their west. which makes 1t eight
hours later in time.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

Z HOLLYWOOD, June 10 (NAN.A.).-
Five authors and fve leading men are
at work on one of the new pictures soon

We have been doing things on large
eeale, buying up genius with degree Of
nonchalance, calling composers from
the farther ends of the earth, importing
famous creators Of foreign gelatin. But
this is justif1able village extravaganza,
Il one may judge.
A wartime story calls for five men
sent on a mission which means almost
certain death. The story features the
events in civilian life which are para
mount in the minds of each at this hour
Of understanding and remembrance.
It is quite natural that five authors
would make these sequences more indi-
vidual, more emotionally varied. more
diversified, than If they came from the
mind Of one man. So James Gleason,
James Seymore, Lynn Riggs, Thomas
Lennon. Mauri Grashin and Gerrit Fort

Western role, took on the nth degree

John Barrymore wouldn't hold still,
so that caricature remains among the
missing. But the line of the evening
was contributed by Mrs. Lawrence Tib-
bett, who gave one glance at herself
as seen by this eye with a genius for
WY humor and exclaimed:
Il eat my young!"
Doris Kenyon holds the blond honors
that are so easily balanced on the
brunette side by Claudette Colbert.
Both of these girls would seem to have
everything.
But what the little Colbert can do in
the way Of sketching is balanced by Doris
Kenyons exquisite mezzo-soprano voice.
Full, rich and earthly, 1t has received
excellent training, and is used with the
intelligence which she brings to every
thing. She sang duet with Lawrence
Tibbett. quite impromptu. but one of the
most charming things imaginable.
Hollywood village is beginning to take
on artistic stature which the world
would find difficult to credit had ii
giimpsed the old colony with its naive
mannerisns. its quaint mistakes, its
childish exhibitionism.

"IMPROVE THE BOAT

U. S. Senator Henrik Shipstead said
recently: There is talk of the danger
of what is called rocking the boat
That is a phrase which is too much
employed to excuse doing nothing
whatsoever to improve the boat. We
are led toward thinking that the prop
err remedy in a storm is legislative in
action. l take it, on the contrary.
that if it is constructive and posi-
tive to equip a boat with good en-
CINE, a good rudder, and a good COM
pass in fair weather, it is still more
constructive and positive to give it
that helpful equipment when, in its
effort to survive the storm. it most
needs it."
The above lines have all the ear
marks of coming from a man who
studies and thinks, a serious-minded
leader who realizes the responsible
titles placed upon him. man of ac-
ton. man who can and will do
something. In times of storm il is
mighty good that we have statesmen
such as Henrik Shipstead at our ma
tional seat Of government rather than

INSIST ON THE TRUTH

If there is any one thing that should
be dealt more definitely with it is that
of perjury before the courts of the
land. When witness is known to
be telling falsehoods before the judge
and Jury he should Immediately be
Clipped" and that applies to rich
and poor alike.
We must at all times insist on the
truth. If we shrug our shoulders and
permit "a little lying" to go on, we
are simply running down the courts,
ourselves Individually, and certainly
are not building for better conditions.
Truthfulness is character building,
and should be one of the primary re-
quirements in anyone's life. Without
it there is far less happiness.
For instance out in California at
the Mooney and Billings trials the
newspapers stated that John Mac
Donald, the states star witness in
the original trial, testified later that
the evidence he gave back in 1914 was
"all a pack of lies" inspired by hope
of reward.
We have not noticed what punish
ment Macdonald received for his de-
liberate falsehoods, but hope that he
was given plenty. 1t is sickening to
read of such procedures, and they
| would not occur as frequently if false
testimony was not taken so lightly.

TOWN GRAVE DIGGERS

Red Wing Republican,: In nearly
every community may be found quite
number of persons who consider
themselves important, but who in
truth are helping to dig grave for
their town.
They do it through their failure to
support the. institutions which make
the town what it is. They do it by
sending away for merchandise which
might be bought with equal advantage
at home. They do it frequently
through thoughtlessness, but often
through sheer disregard for the well
fare of the community of which they
are part.
The doctrine of buying at home is
not advanced solely in the interest OF
individual merchants. 1t is advOcat-
ed because every citizen of town is
to a certain extent dependent upon
every other citizen for his own pros
perity.
All the fine talk about civic pride
that we may indulge in will never
make town, so long as the life
blood of the communicable cold
cash-is spent elsewhere.
A man may make boosting speeches
until he is black in the face, but un'
less he spends his money where he
makes it he is a hometown grave
digger.

HITTING THE NAIL

Hardly a week passes but that
Editor Fay Cravens of the Mile
Laos County Times, has some
good pointed editorial paragraphs
in his paper, short sentences that
say much. Following are exam
plies taken from last weeks issue
of the Times:
The Indian bureau at Washington
recommends that the white mans law
be applied to the Indians. 1t has been
and that is what ails the Indians.
A good licking seems to be conducive
to harmony in politics. A lot of the
old line politicians in Minnesota are
now saying 'let us have peace
The fellow who prided himself on
doing his bit to conserve the forests
by killing a woodpecker seems to
have his counterpart in those people
who think they can remedy the ocean
of unemployment in this country by
giving out few odd jobs, or provid-
ing one meal on Thanksgiving for the
unemployed.
A writer in Golfers magazine
claims that all of President Harding's
and most of President Coolidge's
speeches were written by a special
writer hired for that purpose. 1t
sounds as if ten-year-old schoolboy
is writing the Coolidge essays that
are now appearing in some daily
newspapers.
Much as people may dislike the
idea of new regulatory laws, it APP
pears that a drivers license law is
| inevitable if there is to be any check
on the growing list of deaths from
auto accidents. AS long as the drunk.
the insane and incompetent can drive
on the public highways without let or
hindrance there is bound to be a
growing death list. And drivers
license law could be framed that
would have much to do with making
it difficult for gangsters and bandits
to roam the state without any check
on them as to identity.
Individualism is the doctrine of the
Jungle 1t means that the strong
shall devOur the weak. That the pow
erful shall trample the less fortunate
under foot in the mad race for con-
troll of economic power. Exploit your
fellow men, and care nothing as t.
their fate. To believe in it is to dis
card the doctrine of brotherly love
and justice. Christ never advocated
individualism, but just the opposite
that all men are brothers, and that
the fate of your brother should be
of more concern to you than your owl
fate.
