The new theory for the formation of these rinoc
Is toal theory. Every one knows that great tides
are caused IN the oceans Of the earth by the tidal
pun OF the moon. The fact has also been estab-
hshed IN recent years that the moon likewise causes

small to be seen easily. Their existence however
StrumentS
Now it must follow that if the moon causes tides
IN the earth the earth must cause tides in the
moon We can not observe these tides however, be-
cause there is no water upon the moon.
NE planet Jupiter is very much larger than the
earth and one Of its moons is very close to it.
In the case Of this MOON the tidal effect can be
observed because the pull of Jupiter on this moon
egg-shaped.
According to recent calculations each planet is
surrounded by what might be called danger zone
for moons. A moon approaching within this zone
would De subjected to so great gravitational pull
that it would be broken to pieces
Many astronomers think that the moon under
discussion will eventually drop into this danger
and that as result it will be broken up and so
eventually form ring around Jupiter.
TINE rings of Saturn are inside of what would
Il constitute Saturns danger zone and so it is
thought that the rocks composing the rings con-
stitute the remnants of what was once another
moon
Now one effect of planets gravitational action
upon q moon is to slow it up. AS its velocity de-
creases, it draws nearer to the planet This means
that our moon is gradually drawing nearer to the
earth
Like any other planet, our earth has a danger

They Gail in Art

WET when the king was killed and his body
i brought home, vast numbers of farmers and
other working people stayed up all night in the open
and kept candles burning in their windows along
the route to sob for him. This seems not to have
been dry sobbing but wet weeping of the most OBJ
vious and tragic sort. It is easy trick to jerk
tear unless there is genuine emotion churing
around in the soul of the subject. Certain attor-
neys and actresses do this but they call it art.
Where so many poor people blubbered publicly for
a man who had lived on them and maze them think
that a condeScension his part, there must have
been sincere feeling Of sorrow.
Kings and even Presidents of the American re-
public are impersOnal to the people although most
Presidents Of this country by reason Of the neces-
sty to go around shaking hands and kissing babies
are closer to the citizens than kings. Still when
American President dies the feeling of the people is
not one Of intense personal sorrow
Rather it is a sense of regret, tinged perhaps
with alarm for the safety Of the country consider
ing that vce-presdents generally are inferior poll
tcians, chosen with reckless hope that they will
never be called upon to accept serious responsibility
The mourning for Warren G. Harding may seem to
have been an exception but the protracted funeral
ceremonies for Mr.. Harding were to some extent an
enterprise Of the Republican Party. Without the
mechanical promotion this tragedy might have been
accepted much more composedly by the people.

The Planted Millions

DUT, at that, the sorrow over Mr. Harding's pass
- ing hardly can be compared to the racking grief
OF the simple toilers who bowed their heads and
moaned out loud as the body of King Alexander went
past on the way to the grand, final military exercises
of the actual funeral
Perhaps the peasants at that time Old not know
that their beloved king had planted away in other
countries the money which he had been gracious
enough to permit them to for him in quantities
of million dollars year That is hopeful thought
Because otherwise the humble Yugosavs will seem
to be not quite bright as people and hardly worth
anybodys worry if they get into trouble.
do not know whether they have national motto
but the basis Of their sorrow for the king whose
shield must have contained the double-cross could

Miami and Thrift

THRIFT is a dead and sailed mackerel as far as
Il Miami is concerned To be sure certain local
merchants Of commodity and of chance will profit
prodigously but they not likely to put their gains
into any sort of trust fund. The who spins a
wheel with very lucrative percentage in his favor

at the track where he will readily overlook the per-
centage Of his neighbor Indeed once this season
comes into its fullest swing the merchants of chance
viii live by being taken in by each others gambling
devices
But the old gentleman was mistaken in laying
the new recklesSnesS at the door of the Roosevelt
Administration. The ferment is world wide. Indeed
the disciples of thrift have only themselves to
blame. Assiduousy they spread the gospel for gen.
erations that one should save up for a rainy day.
The rain came. But when the ants and the wise vir-
gins rushed to get such waterproof raiment they
had laid aside they found the umbrella inspectors

more fun to lose your money in bank than to
risk it on horse race.
It is by means a spirit of defeatism which
obtains On the contrary most people with whom I've
talked believe in the coming of the New Deal and
some even newer. But either articulately or intu-
lively they feel that mere weight OF metal may not
play the same role in the days to come. Surely it

down if that is what the people
want.
Similarly washington probably
has never had an Administration
more thoroughly determined to
play the good neighbor" to Cuba
than that which exists at this mo-
ment. President Roosevelt mas
proved this by actual practice in
half a dozen ways.
Yet political conditions in this
island, while improved, are still
extremely menacing. President
Mendieta is beset by hostile fac
lions apparently bent upon snip
ing him out of Office. The same
factions still heap criticism on the
United States for its imperial
ISM" and terrorism continues
rampant.
Ambassador Jefferson Caffery,
at-Havana, according to outsiders
is minding his own business more
scrupulously probably than any
American representative ever &C
credited to Cuba, and as punctili-
ously as any diplomat in any for
eign country could. Yet threats
against his life are said to be COM
monplace.
Enlightened self-interest, if
nothing more, it is admitted, has
inspired the American Govern
ment to exert a maximum of eff
fort to help cuba out of her de-
preston and a minimum of inter-
ference in her domestic affairs.
All Cubans, hwoever, do not
thank the United States. Charges
of meddling are still made. Left
wing groups of students and Abe
Members are still fomenting
trouble. Bombs are booming and
the odds are about even on which
will come first, the election or
revolt.

on a breath-taker.
He is preparing a bill, to be
introduced as soon as the new
Senate gets down to business,
providing for ownership of the
railroads under a semi Govern
ment corporation similar to the

Wheeler is too realistic a poll
tician to believe that the measure
has a chance of passage at pres
ent. But he plans to hold thor
ough public hearings and start
his agitation.
Government ownership is in

Your Health

THERE is enough evidence proving that colds

in bed and that others stay away from them, if we
want to prevent spreading Of infection.
Since colds are not always caused by the same
germ use Of vaccnes to prevent colds would hardly
seem to be justified. Injection Of stock vaccines
would seem to be shot in the dark
We also know that colds attack persons in poor
health generally. This is especially the case when
their bowels disturbed and when there are diff
cuties which prevent proper breathing through the
nose
IF rooms are poorly ventilated the chance of
4 catching cold from other persons in the room
is increased.
When there are disturbances which keen the
mucous membranes in the nose and throat from

velOpment of mucus which moistens the surface q

OF course, everybody knows by this time that
chief danger from a cold is not the colo itself
possibility of a secondary infection Of the sinu
development of pneumonia, and secondary inf
tons of heart and lungs, which may be exceedir
serious, if not fatal
y TUNIBERS of different germs and vr1Ises
IN v rying conditions have been associated f

These germs include not only the one knou

only the latter may try case in

Nineteen hundred and fourteen
rolled around, to find Gov.
FieIder's appointment followed by
the Senate's now automatic con-
f1rmation. Mr.. Justice Trenchard,
both as Circuit Judge and as mem
Der of the Court of Errors and APP
peals, had become a tradition. He
was reappointed in 1921, and again
in 1923, and if ever a man owned
his job that man is Thomas w.
Trenchard.
TITS is a reputation for melting
Il 4 out absolute justice according
to the law, unmoved by "off the rec
ord" considerations. To Mr.. Justice
Trenchard there are no other con-
siderations. Politics, eXpediency
mean nothing to him.
The dignity of the court is i'm
portant to him, and so is his per-
sonal dignity. While minor county
officials, added by the onrush Of re-
pOrters and photographers from the
metropolis, impressed by the bally-
hoo surrounding the Hauptmann
case, were making concessions, he
remained unmOved.

And no amount of protestation as

office of his chambers in
that part of the New Jersey
Capitol annex devoted to the
Court of Errors and Appeals,

dignified, benign, remote.

despite the edges cut into it
by almost thirty-fye years on
the bench, retained a pleasant
trace of the countryman's
drawl.
you want me to talk about my
self" he said almost shyly. Il must
honestly assure you can not. There
is so much for me to do that have
no time to discuss that which has
been done"
This was the man Thomas w.
Trenchard, Justice of the Supreme
Court and member of the Court Of
Errors and Appeals, of whom Gov.
A. Harry Moore had said, plaintive-
ly:
There isn't any one in the state
of New Jersey who loves him well
enough to call him Tom. Even I
can't call him Tom"
Gov. Moore was wrong. When
the 71-year-old autocrat of the cir
cult comprising Mercer, HunterGOn
and Warren counties is not engaged
with the problems of court he retires
to a comfortable stone and stained
shingle house at SIG Riverside-dr,
removed from the small-city ele.
gance of State-st, Trenton's faSl
ionable thoroughfare. Over this
home, which looks out across the
tree-lined banks of the old Della
ware Canal to the peaceful waters
Of the river itself, presideS the
woman who since 1894 has been
Mrs. Thomas w. Trenchard.
OF such stout cloth is the fabric
of the jurist's private life that men
who had been about the StatehOuse
for years did not know whether he
was bachelor or benedict. The di-
rect question amused Mr.. Justice
Trenchard. The brown eyes bheind
the big horn-rimed spectacles lit up
and a smile expanded to laugh.
"Ha, ha, hal" he guffawed with
surprising heartiness. Certainly
I'm married. Been married 40
years"

twin locks of white hair tumbling
down the broad forehead redeemed
with the exertion Of merriment.

Cho, no, ho) is a good deal more
than most people, unfortunately,
can say these days"
Although a native of the loWlands,
Mr.. Justice Trenchard has almost
everything else in common with the
solidly American hill people, to
whom he represents the might and
majesty of justice. Learned, sage,
famous for the quiet wisdom in
corporated in his decisions, there
was an unmistakable hint of the soil
about him as he stood in the ante
room of offices presided over by a
famale secretary whose white hairs
and dignity matched his own.
The feet of this stopped siX-fOoter
were planted solidly on the floor,
slightly apart: his sturdy hands
were open and relaxed, as though
they had just relinquished a plow.
Trousers of the well-made suit
bagged at the knees; the conServa-
tive gray-black tie was knotted in
expertly into the old-fashioned col
lar like that of a farmer in town
for Saturday night.
Mr.. Justice Trenchard was born
in Centerton, Salem County, south
ern New Jersey, on the 18th of De-
