speed on land. water and in the air,
and by dint of vigorous effort and de-
termination England has acquired all
three championships. The comparison
is not at all comforting to Americans.
On land, she holds the record at two
hundred and thirty-one miles an hour,
and, not satisfied with that, Capt
Malcolm Campbell is trying to push
is still farther upward at Daytona
Beach. Americas best is two hundred
and seven miles an hour. On the
water, she holds the mark at ninety
eight miles an hour. The fastest boat
in the United States has done ninety
three. 1t is in the air, however, that
the greatest difference exists, three
hundred and fifty-seven miles an hour
against two hundred and sixty-six.
Certainly there is not much in these
figures to stir American national pride
and it is a disheartening fact that we
are falling farther back every year.
Lost 'laurels are hard to regain and it
behooves America to get busy before
it is too late.

Parliamentary Amenities.

Members of the House of Repre-
sentatives yesterday learned anew
through a ruling by the Speaker that
under Jefferson's Manual, which is the
guiding code of House procedure, they
cannot without breach of order in
debate notice what has been said on
the same subject in the other house."
The matter was brought to point
through an inquiry from Representa-
tive Treadway, who wanted to take ex-
ceptionS to certain remarks made IN the
Senate regarding him, the Speaker rul-
ing that although the Senate has not
adopted Jefferson's Manual for guild
ance, the House has done so, and as
long as that manual prevails members
of the House may not reply" and call
members of the other branch by name.
But this did not deter Representa-
tive Cramton from meeting with eX-
plicit statement certain derogatory re-
marks concerning him in the "other
branch" He named no names, but
specification was not necessary, for the
Congressional Record tells the story
sufficiently to permit a hook-up of
cause and effect. Mr.. Cramton minced
no words. He said that he had been
most unfairly attacked" on two occa-
sions "in another legislative body" and
with a contemplate disregard of the
truth and the facts" Then. in con-
clus.on, outlining the allegation made
in the "other branch" he said that
anybody who says this is plain,
unadulterated liar" Whereat, accord
ing to the Record, there was prolonged
applause, the members rising"
Nobody rose effectively to object to
this language by the member from
Michigan, and it stands in the Record,
Jefferson's Manual perhaps to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. 1t would seem
from this incident that the Jeffersonian
code is not a complete estoppel of free
expression by members of the House
of Representatives regarding their SEN
atorial critics so long as they name
no names"

The Action of a Mother.

From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
strong character rose to the sur
face in Chicago last week when a
mother, Mrs. Anna Cohen, informed the
police that her son had robbed a bank.
The information came so quickly after
the commission of the deed that the
youth was captured and his plumber of
$4,000 recovered without loss. There
was no temporizing when the woman
faced the fact of the sons act AS
soon as heap of banknotes and coins
were placed before her, the resolve was
made.
There will be wonder that the sen
OF such woman could go wrong. 1t
Is a certainty that no economic pres
sure would lead this mother to counte-
nance wrongdoing in one of her family.
The youth little knew his parent when
he went to her first with the money
he had acquired at the point of a gun.
Modern life often brings instances of
courage and character to public notice.
That OF the woman of Chicago who
loved her son so well that she would
not nave hin: become robber deserves
place beside the best of them. 1t
is case for the consideration of par
ents who are watching their children
about to reach the crossroads of life.
1t will be strange If the Chicago boy is
not finally reclaimed through the reso-
luton of his mother

This Trembling Earth.

With several hundred known dead and
more than one thousand injured, the
earthquake which has shaken New
Zealand takes rank among the major
seismographic disturbances of our time.
Material loss will run into millions OF
pound sterling, and economic develop
ment in that particular section of
Britain's great down under" territory
suffers a correspondingly heavy set
back. Coming at moment when all
Australasia is heavily hit by business
depression, the New Zealand quake
takes on additional severity.
Compared to the japanese earth
quake of 1923 and to the Italian tenn
blor of 1880, this upheaval in the South
Seas is relatively minor, though, measure
ed by New Zealand's small population,
it has all the dimensions of a grave
disaster. Mankind seemingly must
reckon on earthquakes as part and
parcel OF its existence. All over the
world within recent times there have been
shocks OF, varying degrees of intensity.
Thirty-six quakes shook the Island OF
Hawaii in less than two hours New
England and the Maritime Provinces
of Canada quiyered as the result OF
submarine earthquake.

Paid Out Annually TO Takers
From the Admission Star

From the Admission Star
Barnum was right, if we may believe
the word of John Mulholland, a pro-
fessional magician. The American peo-
pie are paying handsomely each year
for one form of humbuggery and it is
safe to say that large sums are going
out in many other ways in fake
According to Mulholland, $125, 900 900
is spent annually by people who consult
fake fortune tellers, astrologists, phre-
nologists and crystal gazerS in the hope
of getting look into the future or find
ing out the answer to some mystery that
they. have been unable to solve.
1t is pointed out that King Saul
might have started the fad. He con-
suited the Witch of Endor at her cave
dwelling near Jerusalem and received
advice on some things that had been
worrying him, and since that time, and
probably long before, people have been
going on similar missions, consulting
fortune tellers and others claiming to
possess supernatural powers of discern
ment.

ages to give some encouraging inforna-
ton. The power of suggestion is strong.
People become happier, expectant Of
something good, and since they are in
the mood, perhaps good fortune is
caught more easily.
The psychology of prophecy is a cow
erful factor. OF course, it is shame
to see $I25, 100000 waSteed. But it may
be that some small percentage of it
comes back with interest. Not because
the fortune teller can read tomorrow's
calendar. But because he probably does
bring a little happiness when he fore
casts a roseate future.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

| the insecticides, the grubbers, the mulch
papers, the sprinklers, the devices to
lure and entrap ants, the hundred and
one gadgets of the garden.
This handy cultivator," now, is
something we have planned to purchase
for the past six years.
Every Winter, when the catalogue
ocmes. we look longingly at the picture
of the gentleman with the walrus
mustache-walruses have fearful repu-
tations for their mustaches-and we
say to ourselves, Yes, must have one
of those"
All during the Winter, the long
Winter through, we revert to the pic
ture of the handy cultivator. We
mentally conjure up pictures, more or
less truthful, of ourself welding the
| handy cultivator.
Several times-and this happens each
year, mind you've get so far as to say
| audibly, Yes, I am going to order one
of these handy cultivators this year.
But then Spring comes, and with 1t
the songs of various birds, mostly I'M
| identified, and the mysterious balmineSs
which makes it what it is, and we for
get all about the handy cultivator.
The first thing we know, we find
ourselves doing very well with the old
rake, the old fork, the old trowel.
We decide that we do not need a
| handy cultivator, after all. It is a nice
thing, and next year we will get one,
surely, but this year we will get along
with these old, reliable tools.
X X
Well, this year we will get the Guilt
vator, and no mistake about it! 1t is
| down on the list. Secure it, we shall!
1t is a matter of. principle now, not
garden practice. This makes the sew
enth successive season we have decided
in favor OF the handy cultivator, but
1t shall not be the seventh without
action.
1t is down on the list and shortly
our order for 1t will go forth. This
Spring will see US delving into the
earth with a handy cultivator, we can
assure the world and Sundry.
III the meantime let us rcvcl In
imaginary purchase of several of these
new pressed steel laWnmoWers. There
never was much sense in the useful
grass cutter being so heavy.
The influence of woman is being felt
in the garden supplies department as
well as in the automotive martS. When
she cuts grass she wants to do it with
out stress and strain. Who can blame
her?
This fine implement IS right across
the page from the picture of the slim
Jim" trowel, which is declared to be
so fine for planting bulbs. And surely
1t would be good instrument on gen.
eral principles.
We must have one Of those. Fourth

A special f1ower-cutting scissors is
another longtime resolve. The trick
of this pair of scissors is that after
the flower stem is cut the scissors
grab 1t and hold it, thus saving the
gardener the severe task of grasping it
with the left hand.
Here is a soft rubber kneeling mat.
Any one who has knelt in a garden,
as one must often do, until his knees
have felt the wear and tear, will be
heart and soul in favor of kneeling
mats, rubber or otherwise.
Never slight the garden tools and
implements section. 1t is a worthy
adjunct OF seeds, flowers, bulbs, and
so on. One cannot garden without
tools.

World War Veteran

ing the water-speed record to his land
speed record few hours before he was
fatally injured, when the craft struck

On the trial before the accident, Sir

The good intentions we may trace
That somehow went astray,
And, like the shepherd with his sheep,
Well show pathway plain;
Our good intentions we will keep
And bring them home again.
Perhaps out there where stars are

Our good intentions wait,
And we at last may see them right,
Amid rejoicing great.

With purposes once fair,
But let us hope they have been saved
For us Somewhere, Up There.
