FORSAKING AN EARLDOM

THE eleventh earl of Egmont, who holds
u one of the most distinguished titles in
Great Britain, has decided that being an earl
isn't nearly as much fun as being Canadian
rancher.
So the ancestral estates of Egmont are up
for sale, and the above mentioned earl is back
on a ranch at Prids, in the province of Al
berta, where he wants to be-.
The earl was brought up on the ranch,
in the days before his father had succeeded
to the title. When he was taken to England
on his fathers accession to the earldom he
found that being member of England's no.
bility wasn't all that it had been cracked up
to be.
He wanted to get back to western Canada,
to his ranch and the open country; and when
his father died, and he himself became the
earl, he promptly did So marrying Canadian
girl who had been working as a dentists as
siStant in Calgary.
And most of U.s. no doubt, will feel that
the young man has been eminently sensible.
Between an English earldom and a ranch in
Canadas NOTWITHSTANDING would hesitate in
making his choice?

1t is coming to be thought that a
more accurate standard will be 100
plue one-half the age for the sys-
tolic pressure, and Is plus one-fourth
of the age for the diastolic pressure.
These figures are, of course, some
what low, whereas the former stand
ards were probably somewhat high.
In general, it is thought that a
variation of Is above or below these
figures is within reasonable limits
for the systolic pressure and 10
above or below for the diastolic
pressure.
Now DR.. Maurice Campbell points
out that variations of Is per cent
in weight, height Or intellectual ca
pacity are not extraordinary.

BY Moderation.
The refusal of the w. G. T. U.
to cooperate in a temperance
movement with the women's Or
ganization opposed to prohibition
shows how intolerant the white
ribboners have become. Temper
ance is a misnomer as applied to
their group.
They are passing up a great OPP
portunity for good and should
take heed of the example of Eng
land, where real temperance is
being achieved, without any at
tempt by law to mold the morals
of the people.

TINE gallant Rear Admiral Moi
Il felt who went down with the
Akron was rapturous in his Opt
mism that these moving vans of
the clouds would in time enable
America to establish new CONNER
cial contacts in hitherto inaccessible
countries.
The admiral's optimism was gen.
uine and so was his sincerity, but
the picture he painted was too W
sionary to provoke any immediate
excitement, and besides there was
always the Russian market, a ro-
bust reality, reckoning the Amer
lean merchant. An old-faShioned
sea barge was all you needed to
get there with, too.
Of all modern miracles, think
the dirigible has interested the av-
erage citizen the least.
The prospect of carrying tons of
freight through the skies always has
been too remote for his considera-
tomas if there we're any such
things as tons of freight to carry
these days, anyhow.

IL its more than $50 flights has
contributed a great deal that is
worth while and important to avia-

nit that in many parlor circles I

lies in the fact that it produced
new species of stamp for the collec-

Of course, aviation is going for

in another generation it will be the
accepted mode of worldwide trans
portation. The question is, what
form will it ultimately take? have

OF their superior speed and in addi-
ton they seem to be safe enough.
According to statistics compiled
by the aeronautics branch of the de-
partment of commerce only one
death occurs every 224909 miles
flown. 1t seems to me that this is
less hazardous than trying to crash
the Bronx express at 80 D. m.
And it's much more pleasant.

Riotous demonstrations on the
occasion of the return of beer will
not help the cause of prohibition re-
peal. The brewers seem to be the
only ones able to keep their heads,
in the general rejoicing, when they
deplore excuses to greet the new
| brew.
indianapolis seemed to be more
moderate than many other cities in
welcoming the return of beer and in
general it does not seem that the
dryS accumulated much ammunition
here, in arguing against the bad
effects of legalized beer.
The rate at which the beer was
sold out in downtown cafes shows
what the people want. Let there be
moderation and the whole pernicious
prohibition structure will fall, never
to be rebuilt. ...... ..........

News from Germany should stir
every church member, no matter of
what denomination, to protest and
action. The proposal of Dictator
Hitler to make the Lutheran church
a political organization is one OF
the most nefarious moves of mod
ern times. There seems to be no
limit to the audacious insanity of
this fanatic.
The campaign is bound to fail,
however, for the simple reason that
Hitler already is headed for disaster
and oblivion. Even the suggestion
shows how utterly unfit for rule is

that happy days were here again as

During his long service he was

hood of the Sherman who came in
for their daily stein of beer at the
main bar.
