THE BRITISH CAR "BLUEBIRD" GOING ALMOST
FIVE MILES MINUTE, ON THE FLORIDA BEACH

Recently, Sir Malcolm Campbell broke his record Of
automobile speed flying the sands at Dayona Beach,
Florida at the rate Of 273 miles per hour On perfectly
firm surface the speed would have exceeded 300 miles
hour the revolutions indicated 5 miles per minute
But "wheelsps" the wet sand and other held
down the speed
The crowd that gathered the beach, you in this
picture misty flash the flew BY The speed Of
the caught only blurred outline Of the Contrast

automobile.

Ensten would say Two hundred SEVENTY and oneha
miles hour the earth fast An automobile with
clear path city street, would go 100 blocks in ONE
MINUTE. But five miles minute is slow compared with
other speeds in science and in infinite space.
While the "Bluebird" goes 273a miles hour along
the ears surface the earth is turning at the of
than 1000 miles an hour on its axis.
At the time is revolving in its elptical path around
the sun, taking Campbell and the rest of speed Of
than 10000 miles per hour 1000 miles per minute
which makes automobile speed of NEARLY five miles
minute slow.
And the speed our earth the among the

And there Natures presumably, maximum speed which

That is the speed Of light 10000 miles per second able

And there the similar speed Of the electric currenthe

The greatest of all speeds is that of THOUGHT which
transports the mind instantly to the most distant point the

Perhaps that high speed Of thought enables the human

About Monogamy Zone Wife,

Various distinguished ladies have expressed the opinion
that Homogeneous marriage fidelity of husband and wife
Is ouworn theory and may expect to go by the board
The idea expressed and put in practice high
in the trees among monkeys million years ago. All monkeys
many and some but fewer women entertain the theory
that matrimonial fidelity is an exploded theory
But MoNoGAMY IS NOT GOING BY THE BOARD
Marriage institution is primarily training school
for It is the foundation of such civilization

dren, making those that create them PERMANENTLY
sponsible for them.
The fact that only twelve thousand years from the
stone age not fit for marriage morally otherwise does
not that "monogany must go overheard
Marriage will outlast light theories, and light living
The very lady who tells you that monogamy may be
remarkable promptnes you tried to abstract from her
little circle the morsel Of humanity that she calls my dear
husband"
And for the who philosophers speakeasy about
the folly Of matrimonial fidelity, tell him that you his

wearing curly hair and waxed moustache, and see him
hurry out.

Three-Minute journeys
Bv TEMPLE MANNING

First we will take a look
about Honolulu. This IS an
up-to-the minute metropolis
with both Spanish and mod
ernistic styled buildings. The
streets are clean and rich with
flowers. To those interested
in the way American industrial
methods have been applied to
these languorous isles, a visit
to the vast pineapple factories
in Honolulu will prove a revela-
ton. These enormous build
ings turn out 80 per cent Of
the worlds canned pineapple
and the work is superintendent
and carried on with a maxi
mum of efficiency.
However, most people will be
more interested in the pictur-
esque and native features Of
the island than the working
out of high-powered produc-
ton methods.
For these there are many at
fractions. Not the least Of
these is the dancing of the
native hula. In olden time
this was a sacred dance In
which natives Of both sexes
and every age took part.

comprehends my blundering.
His goodness girds His weak

And I am part of His eternal

The ukulele and the song
"Aloha-Ohe," the huIa-hula
and the grass skirt made Hawaii
famous, but her unique attrac-
tions as an international play
ground have aided her in re-
tanning her fame.
There is something warm and
friendly about Hawaii and about
her brown-skinned people. They
like to see you, are glad you are
visiting them and are eager for
you to have a good time. When
you land in Honolulu'S lovely
harbor native girls hang gar
lands around your neck.
This practice may be good
business, but it's a pleasant way
of extending a welcome, just the
same. Throughout your stay on
the island you will encounter
the same cordiality and genial
cheer. Whether you spend your

as you watch the exciting sport
of surfboard riding or go sight

An Interesting
Incident

Twenty years ago the
United States Senate abro-
gated a treaty with Russia
because of the Jews. The
persecution of the Jewish
people there had long been
proverbial. There was moth
ing we could do about that;
any more than Russia could
do anything about occasional
lynching Of Americans here.
But American Jews were
mistreated in Russia and
refused the full status of
Americans travelling there,
and upon that fact, as we
understand, the Senate abro-
gated the treaty.
It was an interesting in
cident to me because I was
in the Senate and heard
Senator Raynor's Ciceronian
philippe demanding abroga-
ton. Most of the time I
was looking up at the diplo-
matte gallery at a small man
with beard who was peer
ing through glasses upon
the speaker. It was the Rus
sian ambassador who had
married the sister of Mrs.
John R. Mclean. His fea-
lures denoted no feeling
his face was a mask.

Pressure Of Public
Opinion Would Aid

More can be done, per-
haps, by the pressure of pub
lie opinion to save the Jews
in Germany from persecu-
tion by government in any
other way.
The reaction of mankind
ought to give pause to the
perse ecut ion threatened.
That, and a realization that
Germany owes much to the
genius Of the Jew in busi-
ness, banking, shipping, lit
erature and art.
The friends of Germany
hope to find that the Incl
dents which so have aroused
the world have had neither
incentive in nor sanction of
Hitler and the government,
and that they represent
nothing more than the un-
intelligent frenzy of an ire
sponsible mob which
promptly can, and will, be
brought within bounds by
the strong arm of govern
ment. For any government
conniving in these persecu-
tions will pay the penalty
in the loss of the respect of
mankind.

THE farm relief bill is
l. coming in for the usual
criticism where farm relief
is concerned. Some have
discovered that it is not in
accord with democratic prin-.
ciples. The answer to that is
that it is an emergency and
temporary measure to meet
a serious crisis threatening
the utter ruin of the nations
basic industry. There is an.
other answer-militarism is
not in accord with demo-
cratic principles; but when
we are at war, as in 1918,
it was the democratic prin-
ciple to build a powerful
army.
Another criticism is that
it is intended to increase
the price Of farm products
by governmental action.
Well, we of the cities would
starve in a month if the
farmers ceased t. produce
the food that feeds us. At
present the farmers pro-
ducts sell for less than the
cost of production. Of
course we, Of the cities,
make a habit of working at
a loss, and some Of us can
not understand why we
should pay enough for the
tOOd we eat 10 meet CHe
cost Of its production.
For a decade the Govern
ment has done nothing ef-
fectiye to save agriculture.
That is the reason there are
3O,OO0,0OO farm people out
of the purchasing class. Be-
cause of the loss on trade
of these 100000 people
some millions of factory
workers are in the street.
If these 30,000,OOO can be re-
stored to the purchasing
class, vast numbers of job
less city workers will 60
back on wages and return
to the purchasing class.
Now an exper m n t,
frankly described as such,
is to be made. One thing is
certain: if we Of the cities
imagine the farmers are go
ing on forever working from
dawn to dark to feed US at
a loss we must be a bit off
in common sense.
The Washington times., 1933-03-25
Problem of
The Jobless

With that measure pend
ing, and demagogues and
partisans busy trying to
array the city against the
farm when common sense
and justice demand that
their mutual interest be
recognized, President Roose-
velt goes to Congress on the
problem Of the jobless. An
other brief, concise, clear
message that any child can
understand.
He asks authority to pro-
ceed at once to the creation
of a civilian conservation
corps to confine itself to
forestry, the prevention OF
soil erosion, flood control,
ETC., that can put a quarter
of a million of jobless men
to work. The work these
men do will be in harmony
with our national policy and
permanently add to the
wealth of the nation.
There is a second item in
the presidential program:
He reports that the money
available for grants to
States for relief work will
be exhausted in May and
he asks a further appropria-
tion before the session ends.
And there is a third item
"a broad public works
labor creating program. "
Inc PRESIDENT reports that
he is now studying "the
many projects suggested and
the financial questions in
volved" with the view to
m a king recommendations
during this congressional
session.
Here again we have de-
cision, determination, cour-
age, and a bold facing of
realities. It is the first time
since the streets began to
fill with men eager to work
and denied their right to
work, that the head Of the
nation has acknowledged a
