Must Mean Something

MONEY is measure of value.
4V1 Its power depends largely on
the kind of value it measures.
Just passing money around means
little more than passing so many
quart or peck containers.
To be of benefit, money must
mean something when it moves.
must be translated into labor, or
commodities which are desirable. if
not necessary.
Business, trade and the accumu-
lation of wealth depend on ex-
change which, in turn, depends on
production.
Purpose of money is to facili-
tate exchange, but to do that it
must stand for goods, services. or
ideas. for things which people need
and want.

AirpIane Flights

OUCH flights as the one which
~ Picard has already made and
the two which he proposes are the
sort of events whose Importance is
likely to increase with the passing
Of years.
Today we are impressed chiefly
with the courage and assurance OF
the man who calmly stepped into an
aluminium sphere tied to gigantic
balloon and sailed up to the region
where the temperature is more than
100 degrees below zero,
The future may show that Pro-
lessor Picard has inaugurated a
new day in forms Of travel and in
methods of scientific research.
He thinks himself that the day
is not far distant when specially
built airplanes will travel in the
stratosphere at tremendous rates of
speed.
The prediction that airplanes
would one day travel at tremen-
dous speeds in the stratosphere first
was made more than a decade ago.
Among those who believed and
predicted that it would one day be
done was Glenn L. Martin. pioneer
fiier and airplane builder. II printed
an interview with Martin in which
he made the prediction some eight
or nine years ago.
Such predictions do not sound
quite so rash and imaginary today
in the face of Piccard's exploit.

Tragedy on Tragedy

THE notion that we are produc-
Il ing too much is absurd, except
IN a few restricted lines.
We are making more noise over
the radio than we ever did and
talking more over the telephone.
quite few of our skyscrapers are
empty, and many Of our factories
are running on part time, but that
doesn't mean that we are produc-
ing more than we ought, or more
than We could consume prohtably.
1t is a tragedy, for instance, that
so many toilers in New York City
should be compelled to ride to and
from work on their feet.
1t is much more of. a tragedy
that millions Of people throughout
this country should be housed so
poorly.
The worst tragedy of all is to be
found in the neglected appearance
OF the land from Maine to Cali
fornia.

ALLIES MAKE GAIN
May 5

ON May S, 1918. France and Brit
~ ish troops, on the Locre front,
advanced nearly half a mile on a
front mile in width during a day
Of intense fighting.
The advance constituted the prin-
cipal allied gain since the German
drive began in March and the news
was hailed in Paris and London
with cheers.
Allied commanders, however. still
regarded the situation on the west
ern front as grave. They estimated
that the German reserve included
seventy frst-class divisions, or near
ly 10000 men.
This reserve still gave the Ger
mans the balance of power on the
front and enabled them to start a
new major offensive whenever and
wherever they chose.
Only four American divisions, the
First, Second, Twenty-sixth and
Forty-second, we're regarded as fit
for duty on active sectors Of the
front. but others we're being trained
rapidly and 1t was estimated that
ten divisions, each equal to two
German divisions, would be ready
by June /.

Of general injustice from which the
United States is suffering, why not

to come. Look up the statistics OF

can expect a wholesale self-murder
Of this class by their favorite meth

the climax, in which the whole

Work Is Big Need

CONGRESS might have author

We have heard much about the

Toward Central and South Amer
lea we occasionally, and unfortun-
ately, have confused recognition
with certificate of character.
Woodrow Wilson, for instance,
would not recognize Huerta because
he did not approve of the methods
which he had employed to come
into power. That curious obstinacy
of Mr.. Wilson'S worked out badly
both for us and for Mexico and
cost an expenditure of lives which
was fruitless and needless.

THE theory prevails, and higher
Il education is somewhat to blame
for it, that We can prosper without
work, that electricity and a few

us to congregate in cities. live at

stocks, and get everlastingly rich.
Some of us can, but not all. The
basic cources of life still demand
attention, and they are not to be
measured by our actual meat and

The basic sources Of life are def

Temperature Control

TN so far as travel is concerned,
L the most significant thing about
Piccard's fight is the fact that while
he entered a region of the atmos-
phere where the temperature is
more than 100 degrees below zero,
the interior of his aluminium gon-
dola was intentionally hot, having
a temperature of about 100 above
zero.
Picard had anticipated that the
interior of the gondola would be
warm. He had said that the metal
shell OF the gondola would absorb
enough radiation from the sun to
stay warm despite the extreme cold
of the outer atmosphere.
He had painted half the gondola
black, so that either a shiny sur
face or dark surface could be
turned toward the sun. The dark
surface would, of course, absorb a
greater amount OF solar radiation.
Many aeronsutical experts were
of the opinion that Picard and his
assistant would freeze to death.
1t now is certain that there Is
no danger of this happening in a
properly constructed balloon or air.
plane. Therefore, what man
thought to be the most difficult OBJ
stacle in the way Of flights at ex-
treme attitudes, is shown to be a
on-existent obstacle.
Scientists who are thinking OF
rocket flights also found much good
news in Piccard's exploit. It means
that passengers in rockets would
not have to worry about the tenn
perature Of the upper atmosphere.
Piccard's balloon rose with ire
mendous speed. 1t did not, Of
course, rise with the speed Of a
rocket.
Nevertheless. it shows that It is
possible for passengers to Withstand
a considerable speed without dis
comfort.

HOPEWELL, N. j., Mar. II. R)-
Search for the kidnapped Lind

The police turned to the trail Of
two German servants, who vanish
ed two weeks ago, the day after

servants have not been seen since.
When they left, they said they were
going back to Germany.
The servants, profeSSedly man

New Brunswick, about month be-

the Lightfoot's automobile on the
night of the crime. When they

Franklin Park. It was stated that
the servants evidently had used
the car before the kidnapping and
it was also said that they left be
