TOR more than $50 years, we have been cele-
Il brating the Fourth of July with the assur-
ance that it stood for something big and i'm
portant not only in this country, but throughout
the world.
We have taken it for granted that the Amer
lean Revolution marked the advent of a better
form of government, better social system, and
better philosophy of life.
We entered the war hoping if not believing
that this form of government, this social system,
and this philosophy of life would be established
on a wider basis. After fifteen years, we find the
world drifting toward dictatorship and industrial
control. We find the right of free speech and
freedom of conscience being restricted in at least
three great countries.
We find the outstanding leaders of political
reform, such as Mussolin Hitler, and Stain,
proclaiming that theories are outmoded,
that parliamentary government is doomed and
that a new breed of dynasts is required 1t is
possible that they are right
HUMAN progress seems to be characterized
L i by a continuous procession of unexpected
changes. Not all the changes have been good,
but that does not mean that they have been
avoidabe. Rome gave way to feudalism,
feudallsm to kingcraft, and kngcraft to the
democratic revolution.
During the last century civilized life has been
profoundly altered by inventions and discoveries
of an innumerable variety. People not particu-
larly old IND 1t hard to recall what lie was ike
when they were children with no autos, electric
lights, telephones, or radio.
It is entirely logical to suppose that such
drastic changes as have occurred in methods Of
work and living conditions during the last fifty
years will find a more or less definite reflection
in political changes yet to come Our inability
to predict what these changes will be should
make us cautious, well as open-minded
The last two decades have proved nothing so
much as mans incapacity to foresee the conse-
for being egotistical or pursuing blind faith in
our schemes
The so-called victory has brought us quite as
This is not the kind of world we expected to be
living in fifteen years ago.
WHAT kind of a world will it be fifteen
w years hence, or what will the Fourth of
July stand for $50 years hence?
The notion prevails that an era has come to
its end, but what kind of an end? We have
plenty of optimistic dreams and plans, but for
the most part they lack the all-important factor
of conviction.
For the most part, they are intended as tenn
porary correctives. For the most part, they seek
the ideals of perfection while ignoring the less
attractive. but none the less real, vagaries and
limitations of human nature.
The cry is for laws. programs, and systems,
without much regard for mans ability to carry
them out. In other words, people seem more
inclined to put faith in inventions of the hu-
man mind, rather than in the mind itself to
trust mechanical devices and to ignore those
emotions which enter into their control.

The tragedy of the modern man
is that he has not preserved a single
retreat to which he can flee from
the encroaching tide of femininity.
He is burdened, bound, buried in the
cult of the boudoir.
Yearly. therefore. he grows more
effeminate. He long since has sold
his birthright for the pottage of ma
terial gain. He is Samson shorn of
his strength.
Men need each other. They must
gather together and philosophize
and make contacts that will
strengthen the sense of their par
ticular sex.
They must have moments when
they can be themselves, pure male
beings, friends, bound together in
stern masculinity.

Trade is regulated according to

the idea that We are very precious

THIS is undoubtedly true, in a
measure. But it is a little silly
to suppose that men have their

they forever are resisting feminine
charms, or occupied entirely by cog
itations on the fair sex.

cosmetics.
IN preparing the skin for cosmetic
l. purposes, women frequently use
creams of various types. The for
mula for cold cream has been known
for hundreds of years. Most cold
creams are merely mixtures of vari-
Gus fats and water.
The quality of any cold cream
depends on the thoroughness with
which the ingredients are mixed,
and also on their quality.
There was a time when creams
offered to women as cosmetics con-
tanned lead or mercury, but today
such substances are seldom, if ever,
found in creams sold in ordinary
commerce.
In some instances creams are sold
as skin bleaches. These occasionally
contain harmful substances, includ-
ing mercury, and i'll effects have
been reported following their use.

The GLORIOUS Fourth" passed with
only 1876 persons listed as fatalities,
directly or indirectly, by the news

This is remarkable record, con-

million in this country who actively
or vicariously celebrate the day-a
point the news hounds seemed to
miss, in comparing the number who
lost their lives to the number of

Decision of Governor Ruby Laf-
foon of Kentucky, to reinstate Curt
Jones, jailer of Caldwell County,
KY, was expected, but disgraceful,
Jones was suspended in May, follow
ing a petition by the A. G. l.. u.
contending that when Walter Mer-
rick was taken from Jail in Prince
ton and lynched June /, 1882, it be-
came mandatory under a state law
for the Governor to remove the
jailer.
The proceedings were conducted
in manner to indicate that Jones
reinstatement was a foregone con-
clusion. Appointment of Mrs. Lily
Jones to fill her husbands place,
pending his hearing; failure of At
torney- General Bailey P. Wooton to
prosecute the case, even after it had
been shown to him that Common
wealth Attorney John L. Grayot IF
that district and County Attorney
John o. Hardin were disqualified be-
cause of their failure to prosecute
Merrick's lynchers; and failure of
the attorney-generaFs office to pro-
vide proper protection for our rep
resentative to make his deposition in
Caldwell county Or to permit him to
go to Frankfort at our expense to
make it to the encouragement, all
pointed to this unfortunate con-
clusion of the case.
Under the administration of the
present prosecutor, Grayot, there
have been six lynchingS in the
fourth judicial district During that
time not a single man has been con-
victed for participating in any of
these crimes.

Science
by DAVID DIETZ-
scripps-Howard Science Editor

ONE of the most remarkable and
~ important scientific develop
ments of the last twenty years has
been the increase in our knowledge
Of the stars.
The average book on astronomy.
written even so late as 1910. was de-
voted almost entirely to a discussion
Of the solar system. the moon, the
sun, the planets, comets and
meteors. What could be said about
the stars fitted with ease into one
or two chapter at the end of the
book.
Now the situation is reversed. The
preSent-day writer finds that the
stars alone offer sufficient subject
matter for book.
For many years, Young's Manual
Of Astronomy was the standard col
lege text book. Professor Henry
Norris Russell and his associates
at Princeton university in revising
this book found it necessary to ex-
pand it to two volumes.
One is devoted to present-day
knowledge of the solar system, the
other to the stars and certain re-
lated subjects such as the nebulae.
the analysis of the suns light and
the general relations between physi-
cal and astronomical theories.
TINE ancients had no true under
l. standing of the stars. They
imagine that the earth was at the
center Of the universe. Surrounding
the earth were a number of concen-
trio spheres.
These held the moon, the sun and
the planets. The stars were thought
to be tiny spots of light fixed in the
outermost sphere.
Neither the true nature of a star
nor its distance from the earth was
comprehended by the ancients.
Throughout the middle ages tbs
comprehension of the stars was no
better.
The great Sir Isaac Newton was
the first to realize how very far away
the stars must be, although even he
olo not appreciate the enormous
magnitude of stellar distances.
Sir Isaac Newton by his law OF
universal gravitation showed that
the planets revolved around the
sun because of the suns gravita-
tional pull upon them.
He realized, therefore, that since
the stars showed no influence of the
suns gravitational pull. they must
be sufficiently far away to escape
that pull.
1t was in 1899 that astronomers
first succeeded in measuring the
distance to star. The feat was
accomplished independently by two
men, BeSSel and Henderson.
THESE studies revealed that the
Il nearest star was $4,000, 900. OOO,-
600 miles away, so far away that it's
light, travelling 10000 miles a Sec
ond, took four and third years to
reach the earth.
All the other stars are, of course.
farther away than that. More than
half of the stars visible to the I'M
aided eye are more than 100 times
farther away than the nearest
star.
One could not have blamed the
had they despaired of
ever learning much about the stars.
for the stars are all so far away
that no telescope is powerful
enough to reveal them as anything
but points of light.
Nevertheless, the astronomers Of
the present century have attacked
the problem and assembled a sur

WINE To SEWER;
|. BEER To KEGS

Never again will the golden
wine from the Heurich cellars
trickle down the throats of Wash
ington connoiseurs of rare vint-
ages.
The famed Heurich beers will
soon be available again. But the
wine, perhaps the only wine of its
type in the world, is gone, poured
down a sewer yesterday because
of government regulations that
it could not be sold or given away.
The wine was made accidental
ly in 1917 when the brewery de-
cided to make cider. Instead the
apple juice fermented into a type
of champagne. But now the brew
cry is about to start operation
again and needed the great casks.
So yesterday the $500 gallons OF
the vintage were poured away.
