Bankers Play.
NEW YORK, July 22.-The Do
L rade, E f1fty-two-foot yawl,
navigated by her owner and manned
by a crew of seven amateurs, sails
across the Atlantic in seventeen
days, winning the Newport
Plymouth race, which started July
4 and in which ten small yachts
participated.
It's a remarkable record, right
down with that of clipper ships as
to time, and right back with the
early pioneers as to hazard and
seamanship. Those who made it
have some idea of what their fore
fathers went through.
The Mayfower, which brought
1o2 Pilgrims to Massachusetts,, was
less than 100 feet long, and was
regarded as a good-sized ship for
her day.

Give Same Result

NOW such a cluster moving
y through space is subject to
the gravitational pull Of other stars
IN the same way that a binary is.
1t Is fair to assume, however, that
the lighter stars of the cluster
would be pulled farther out of their
paths than the heavy ones.
Therefore, the lighter stars show
a greater deviation from the conn
mon path than the heavier ones.
And this difference in deviation.
like the f1attening of the orbit of a
binary, can be used as a method to
calculate the age of the cluster.
The third method of calculating
the age of stars is based on ex-
tremely complicated mathematical
considerations.
There is reason to believe that in
sufficient time the energies of mo-
ton of different types Of stars will
become equal, the heavy stars NOV
ing slowly and the light stars nov
ing rapidly.
DR.. Frederick K. Sears of the Mt.
Wilson Observatory has made a
careful analysis of the stars which
are nearest our own sun. He finds
among them the equalization of en-
ergies which the theory demands.
The age Of the stars can then be
obtained by calculating how long it
would take for such an equalization
to be arrived at.
1t is true that each of the three
methods is complicated. But the
important thing is that each one
yields practically the same result,
namely, from five to ten trillion
years.
Astronomers feel rather certain.
therefore, that is is a pretty good
estimate of the age of the universe.

Buck" Sumner has begun to show
the taxpayers that the Democratic
party can and will keep its cam
paign pledges, by reducing his 1882
budget by about $4,000. Had his
predecessor won, he probably would
have increased it by the same
amount, as this extra money could
have been used to promote his flu
ture campaign activities.
The contract for cleaning the
statehouse was let by our chief state
executive on a for l shot. and
since 1921 from the national capitol
down to township trustees the Re-
publican party has played the 2. for
shot, and the taxpayers pay the
bill. Like Judas who sold our Savior
for thirty pieces Of silver, Republic
an officials have sold the American
people, and made us a disgrace to
the civilized world, and the high
tariff, bought and paid for" has
made us, on the whole, a country
OF paupers.
President Hoover is more con-
cerned over the welfare of Europe,
than he is over the American farm
er with his two-bit wheat, or the
laoorer with his unpaid rent and
soup houses.
Are we to be fools again in 1882,
leo by false gods, or be sane and
sound as in the days of Woodrow
Wilson?

SCIENCE
Man Has Inhabited the

BY DAVID DIETZ-

MANKIND. according to the gems
1V1 eral opinion Of biologists, has
inhabited the earth for about 100,-
600 years. A few authorities are
willing to coincide homo sapiens,R

half million years.
That seems a long time until We
find that the biologists believe the
earth has been in existence for
1000, 100000 years.
But even this figure sflrinks to
mere second, when We turn to the
estimates of astronomers of the age
Of the universe.
The stars. according to the latest
astronomical estimates. are from
i've to ten trillion years old. A
trillion, It will be recalled. is a mill
hon times a million.
Astronomy. therefore, gives us an
age for the universe comparable to
the immense distances which it has
revealed in the universe. The near
est star is $4,000. 900 100000 miles

Association and of Hygeia, the
Health Magazine,


One of the most common and at
the same time one of the most seri-
Gus conditions confronting the
medical profession today is the con-
troll of the falling heart of men at
middle age.
DR.. David Riesnaan recently dis
cussed this subject before a medical
society. He pointed out that mod
ern men lead active lives and seem
to get along quite well until they
reach so years of age. Then they
go to pieces.
Scientific study reveals that the
breaking down is due to changes
in the heart and in the circulation.
In the vast majority of cases the
breakdown is not due to any in
lection of the heart affecting the
valves, which is one of the most
common causes of heart disease.
1t seems to be associated with
high blood pressure and with some

Why Poor7

NNR. STAEBNER'S noncha1ance
Iva is refreshing. He admits that
here is a community of pauperized
people, but what of it?
The burden of responsibility does
not touch him. Apparently it is his
contention that they are poor be-
cause they are stupid
If it is true that they are stupid
and it is far from intelligent to
generalize-maybe it is because they
are poor.
Why should a group of people
who perform such an important and
dangerous function in our industrial
life be poor? They hold within their
hands the power to cripple us as a
nation?
If all the coal miners in. the
world would suddenly decide to quit
burrowing in the bowels of the
earth, civilization as we know it
would cease.
1t seems to me that It would be

of a newspaper is its ability to

CIMARRON DRAMA

SETTLING OF C II E {
STRIP WILDLY PICTURED
BY EDNA FERBER

One of the most realistic of his
torical tales p%enned in recent
years is "Cimarron," written by
Edna Ferber about three years
ago, which describes the settling
of the Cherokee Strip in Okla
homa in 1889 and the conquering
of the country in the succeeding
generation. The perturbation of
this thrilling story will be shown
at the Liberty theatre next Thurs
day.

of the Wichita Wigwam, a dash
ing romantic character, wins the
heart of 16-year-old Sabra Venable

breeding. Despite her mothers
protests she marries him and

frequent and prolonged absences

Quoting the paper on Sabra's
shoulders. They have two child

F. Redekopp Reported
Recovered From Accident

Ed Carey who is employed with
the state highway construction
crew at Hinsdale was home a
short time this week. He says
Frank Redekopp. who was the
victim of an accident on the job
last week. has nearly recovered.
He was operating a hydraulic
gravel hoist. Oil was the fluid
used and. as the machine was not
working properly, he thought per-
haps the oil needed replenishing
and prepared to add more.
Thoughtlessly he pulled the wrong
plug, releasing the oil that sup
ported the load. Instantly the
bucket with two-thirds of a yard
of gravel dropped on him and
squeezed him between the bucket
and the frame in which it oper-
ates. The air was crushed out Of
his lungs and he was unable to
inhale more and was purple be-
fore he was released. Only one
man saw the accident and he had
difficulty because of noise in at
tracing the attention OF other
workmen who were scattered
along the grade. Ten men were
required to lift the weight off
Redekopp. He suffered terribly
while being resusitated after be-
ing almost suffocated. A piece of
board under the bucket was all
that saved him from death.

realize All club work is far more
important than I thought it was.
People think school work is
very important, but, that All club
work amounts to little. If you

men, don't deny them the training
furnished by All clubs.
Many people are specializing in
All club work as their life pro-
fession.
Besides learning a lot about
conducting business meetings,
different projects, Judging teams,
and demonstration teams, every
one had a very wonderful time at
Bozeman.
Everyday we had a recreation
hour, we went to the gymnasium
and played games under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Jackson.
One evening we went further
into the mountains for a picnic.
The campus is very large and
interesting.
The last evening we were there
we went down town to the Hotel

banquet.
