Gen. Butler To Retire

Definite news of the retirement on October 1 of
Major General Smedley D. Butler Of the Marine Corps
has been published in the daily press. It has been
known for some time that the stormy petrel of the
"dev dogs would shortly leave the service for other
activities perhaps in the political arena.
Since his entry into the Marine Corps as Sc
~cond lieutenant in 1899, Smedley Darlington Butler
has been a colorful figure among Uncle Sans fight
ing He has the distinction Of being the only man
ever to be awarded two Congressional medals for
bravery in action.
Butler was given leave Of absence to serve as
director of the Philadelphia department Of safety iii
192425 but his efforts hampered by politicians,
and he finally quit III disgust. He gained some un-
popularity by reporting brother officer, whose guest
he was for engaging in drinking bout in Califor-
MIA; he got in bad by criticsing Mussolin Italian
dictator in speech for which the State Department
apoogized; he shut off the air for using
ventonal language in radio address, and has other
wise kept himself in the melght both favorably and
unfavorab3y, for some years.
AS soldier, however, his efficiency and gallan-
try have never been questioned. His troubles have
to him because Of his ready tongue. It is said
that he may seek scat in the United States Senate
If he obtains it. he may talk his head off without the
slightest responsibility to anybody.

An Inventors S Holiday

It sounds like reaetionary suggestion, but per-
haps would be well for inventor to take holiday
for few years until consumption catches up with
the output Of the machines they have invented al
ready.
For many years inventive genius has been de-
voted to the creation Of machines to displace
power. So long as such n]anpoWer as was displaced
in one industry could find employment in some new
field all was we'll But lately it has been impossible to
absorb the workers displaced by improved machin-
cry, and what is known as chronological unemploy
ment has been the result.
One thing seems certain-we must ease up on
the introduction Of labor-saving machines or dras-
tically reduce the standard hours Of labor BOTH
Otherwise over-production and consequent uneni-
ployment may continue to the welfare of
mankind and even the peace of the world
On the other hand the problem might be solved
by increased consumption of all commodities, incud
ing farm crops. But the best thought of economists
and others has so far failed to find practical plan
for the distribution Of surplus products to the mil
lions who are in need Of them.
&c. we favor suppressing new inventions for
while This is also impractical, Of course, but per-
haps as practical as most of the other ideas being ad
vanced for the relief of present conditions.
Perhaps gangster is consoled by the fact that
he can't be put on more than one spot at time.

What a joy to have the bowels move
like clockwork, every day! It's easy, if
you mind these simple rules of famous
old doctor:
/. Drink a big tumblerful of water
before breakfast, and several times
day.
2. Get plenty of outdoor exercise with
out unduly fatiguing yourself.
3. Try for a bowel movement at
exactly the same hour every day.
Everyone's bowels need help at times,
but the thing to use is DR.. Caldwells'
Syrup PepSin. You'll get thorough
cleaning-out, and it won't leave your
insides weak and watery. This family

Thousands Get
Reno Divorces
By Default Route

RENO, New, Sept. 20 (UP)-The
A-merican's bl nd faith in a piece
of paper" is evidenced here by the
thousands of default divorce de-
crees accepted by Divorces from
states which refuse to recognize
such DEGREES.
New York, California and Illi-
nois courts have time and again
flatly repudiated the validity of de-
crees granted in Nevada when the
defendant has not been personally
served with summons and copy of
the complaint, and is not repre-
sented by counsel in court.
Courts of virtually every other
state will deny the validity Of de-
fault DEGREES. If a woman obtains
a Reno divorce by default, she can
be prosecuted for bigamy if she re-
marries in her home state. That
is the law, yet it seldom occurs.
However, if the defendant in the
case signs a power Of attorney and
employs an attorney to represent
him in court, he automatically plac-
es himself within the jurisdiction
of the Nevada courts.
But despite all the legal entan-
clements that can result from de-
fault DEGREES, thousands are grant
ed annually.
Efforts may be made the next
legislature to amend the law to al
low divorces on the grounds Of
'incompatibility," using that word
in the complaint. Incompatibility
today is adequate grounds for di-
vorce, but the statutory name for
it is extreme cruelty" and there's
the rub.
Default DEGREES means business
for Reno commerce, as the plain
tiff is required to wait from 40 to
80 days during publication of sum-
mons and attempts to locate the
defendant.

1856 Miles An Hour

Setting a world record for speed, Lieuten
ant Stainforth Of the British Navy few day ago
drove his seaplane 1856 miles an hour over three
kometer course, beating the previous record by
than 28 miles an hour
This terrific speed of more than six miles min
ute represents the fastest movement of mortal
in the history of the world When it is remembered
that the earths rotation is only about Is miles min
ute at the equator, it may readily be imagined that
some day airplane will equal that speed If so, an
aviator might fly around the world keeping the
directly overhead all the while.
Or if he could exceed Is miles minute he might
leave the behind 50 that it would apparently set
in the east Then when he caught up with it again
the sun would appear to rise in the west
This may not happen in our day, but who can
say that it is not among the possibilities Of the fu

 That he did the latter is now baseball history. It is also history that in the long run his actions re- dounded to his disadvantage and

Filling Station for Moon
 Rocket to Hung m Space

BERLIN, June 17.-How rocket planes, propelled beyond the strat- osphere, or outer layer of the at tlosphere, could be rescued from circling the earth Indefinitely has ceen worked out by enthusiastic theorists of the propulsion motor school
 The Verein faer Raumscniffahrt, or Society for Space Ship Travel, is natural center for such calcula- tions and it's enthusiasts contend that to get the full effect of recoil motors the missile or ship should be sent 600 miles from the earth.
 At that distance centrifugal force would balance the pull of gravity and machine would become, in effect, an asteroid, going round and round the world until kingdom come.
 It is proposed that use should be made of this fact by establishing a super terrestrial fueling station, built up of rockets separately v launched from the. earth and "hoked up" after arriving at the astcroid level,
 Each rocket unit would be shot upward with a load of fuel, oxygen and other service supplies, but with just enough power to reach the 6O6- mile level.
 Then a rocket carrying a crew would set out end herd together the various units like so many

] If weather conditions will permit the Elks and American Legion out fits of the City League will engage in battle at City Park at 6:30 pm. today. At noon, the outlook for the game was doubtful.
 Two new men, both experienced ball players, were added to the Vets roster today Dennis Mo Laughlin, who pitched stellar ball for the Elks a few years ago. drew one of the assignments, and Cfaud Brrlnes, another Seattle product gets the second. Denny, besides being a first-class chucker, can catch and play infield. He is a good sticker. Brunes is an infield- CT and probably will be used to al ternatc with Ted Keaton at second when the latter's shift at the AL aska Juneau keeps him out of the lineup.
 Mclaughlin is not expected to pitch for few days. He has been in school in Spokane until recently and wants to get used to the change in climate before trying to work a full stint on the ball field. How ever, Bob Keaton is back in the. lineup for two weeks and can bol-, ster up the mount staff, giving Koski and Lowe a much needed relief.
 The Elks have Manning, Clarke and Junge all available for to- nights game. Coughlin probably will catch and Boyd go to the out field.

 At first such a celestial filling station would be used for the re- fueling of fast round -the-world rocket planes capable of encircling the globe in 90 minutes.
 The next step then would be the building of a moon rocket which could be refueled 600 miles up figuratively speaking at the top of the hill," for the hardest part of the trip would be the 60o-mile climb against gravity.
 Escaping from the moons attrac- tion on the return trip would con- sume far less fuel, because of the smaller pull" of the moon.
