Speed of the Planets.

~ o YOU find it hard to re-
member the order Of the
planets in their distance from
~ the sun?
If so, you may find It help
full to use a memory sentence
Here is such a sentence: Men very
Early Made Jars Serve UP Nee Po-
tatoes."
The initial letter in each word in
that sentence is the first letter in the
name of a planet. Thus we may write
it this way: Men Mercury, Very
(Venus), Early EARTH, Made
Mars, Jars (Jupiter). Serve Sat
urn. Up CUranus). New (Neptune).
Potatoes (Pluto)."
If you get the sentence clearly in
mind. think you will have little
trouble in remembering the order Of
the planets, Mercury being closest to
the sun and Pluto farthest away.
There are two ms" but Men starts
with ME" the same as Mercury: and
Made with MA" the same as
Mars
A similar memory sentence, told to
me by friendly reader, was used in
the old days before the planet Pluto
was known. The sentence was,
"Mary's Violet Eyes Made John Stay
Up Nights"
The planets differ in speed; Mer-
curry travels the most swiftly. and
Pluto the most slowly in the journey
around the sun.
Pluto was discovered in 1890. It's
average distance from the sun is
believed to be about 3,700, ,000, 900
miles. To make its mighty trip

might be kept there. Pluto is so far
from the sun, however. that 1t does
not get enough heat to sustain life
such as we have on earth.
Neptune takes 164 years to make
q complete journey around the sun,
and Uranus takes "a years. Uranus
travels faster than Neptune. and does
not have such a long trip to make.
Those two facts explain the difference

Reducing the World.

Beginning next July all of the
United States and all Of Europe will
be connected by maximum air serv-
ice of 72 hours. That is less time than
it now takes the best steamers to 90
from New York to Liverpool Plans
are being laid for extending air trans
portation from our Pacific Coast to
Hawaii and Australia and soon to
Asia. Not long thereafter regular air
lines will traverse Asia, just as has
been shown to be possible from Eng
land to Australia by the recent race,
and regular round-the world mail and
passenger service will be in full swing.
How soon this will be consummated is
uncertain, but as air development is
now progressing it is safe to predict
a maximum limit of five years, with
three and even two years as a posi-
bility.

Two Schools of Courtesy.

In these ungracious days, when
talk of the "insolence of office" IS
heard everywhere, and especially in
Washington, it might be well to re-
member the sad case of the good
Due de Coislin, who died unpreten-
tiously at Paris in the Spring of
1902. This kindly, upright and hu-
morous little man, who had been a
lieutenant general in the armies Of
the Roi Soleil, became unwittingly the
terror of the court. His home was
practically unvisited except when he
was laid up helplessly in bed with
the gout, in which case his rooms
would be filled with the great. who
much enjoyed his company except for
one thing. His politeness was unen-
durable.
In one Of Louis XIV'S interminable
Dutch wars M. de Coislin had the
misfortune to capture an enemy
named Rhinegrave. The good duke
insisted upon the captive's occupying
the only bed in his tent. The cap
tive refused for hours. Finally. both

Life Begins at Eight.

Two phrases are current in the
speech Of the American people. BY
the terms of the one, life begins at
forty; according to the other, it COM
mences at $40. In point Of fact, of
course, 1t really gets properly started
at eight.
Infancy is a period of dependency
or of more or less vain effort to escape
from tutelage. Then comes a time
when boy or girl is merely squirm-
ing organism, all nerves and undis-
ciplined muscles-a rambunctious ag-
gravation to everybody.
But the next stage-the span which
opens with the achievement of con-
scious control of mind and body
really Is life in the accurate meaning
of the word. Theodore Roosevelt, for
example, in his later years looked
back with authentic pleasure to a
European tour which he had made
with his parents when he was "only
kid" and went to the trouble to
advise mothers and fathers to take
their children with them when they
Travelled.
The point need not be labored. Any
normal man or woman who has a
small son or daughter eight years old
knows from both observation and ex-
perience what fascinating age eight
is. The world Is 50 big and 50 re-
splendent with possibilities for explo-

the greatest fundamental cause Of
war. But it is possible this influence
will not develop rapidly enough to
avert another great struggle.
So far from promoting the pSychol-
ogy Of peace, expansion Of air naviga-
ton has until now produced the oppo-
site effect. Every nation in Europe
has had its fears and suspicious mag
nif1ed by the increased possibilities
of hostile invasion by air. This is in
evitable so long as mankind continues
to cling to the theory that force is the
right and dominant influence in set
ting international differences, and
also domestic differences, as we see
in Russia, Germany, Italy and Spain.
With such a mental attitude, every in
crease in offensive power must add
to apprehension and stimulate greater
preparation for defense. Yet that
does not negative the fact that more
mutual knowledge and understanding
is the gateway to world peace. and
that this new element, at present
arousing fear, will eventually make
felt its influence for peace.

Challenging A. A. A.
From the New York Times.

From the New YORK Ilmes.
Not bushel Of American wheat was
shipped abroad last week. This Is
record not matched in many years.
but for a considerable period our ex-
ports not only of wheat but OF various
other farm products have been at an
extremely low level This is only in
part the consequence of the tariffs and
quotas and other trade controls
erected by nations which formerly
provided profitable markets for our
wares. 1t is also due, in part, to the
fact that the crop-restriction program
of the A. A. A. and other art1hclal IN
f1uences have raised the domestic price
of number of our products above the
world level. Wheat. for example. is
selling in Minneapolis at above a dol
lar and in winnipeg at 80 cents.
The spread between the domestic
and the foreign market which char
acterizes prices of various farm COM
modities has prompted a number of
suggestions that the present methods
of the A. A. A. be scrapped and be re-
placed with something else. Several
substitutes are offered. One is the So
called "two-price" system, whereby a
higher price would be maintained at
home, while exports would be sold on
a competitive basis. Another is plain
subsidy plan, under which all restric-
tions on production would be removed,
permitting domestic prices to seek the
world level, but compensating Ameri-
can producers by bounty payments
based on that part of the crop destined
for domestic consumption. This plan
has two variants, depending on
whether its advocates wish funds for
such bounties to be raised by means
of processing taxes, as at present, or
propose instead to discard such taxes
as q deterrent to business and to sub
stitute funds borrowed directly by the
Treasury. Other observers favor q

they do not want relief as this form
Of help does not at all solve this vital
problem.
The figures per individual under the
relief greatly vary, but I will merely
quote here those that have come under
my observation. In one case a single
blind man got under the relief 81 per
week and a married blind man with
wife and child to support got $3.50.
In each case the individuals had no
one to depend on. Now how can a
blind man get out and seek employ
ment on the days he is not scheduled
to work for the relief?
The sighted man can easily seek
employment on these of days. Even
If the blind man could get out the
sighted employer needing help would
be too skeptical to even give the blind
man a chance to make good. 1t
would be safe to say that a capable
blind man is worth $50 per month.
and he could live on this, provided
he was not married. for in this case
If he had wife and child to support
his expenses would be around $50 or
$50 per month. The writer is blind
and knows whereof he speaks.
If Congress or the District govern
ment' does not lend the blind a help
ing hand they will have to suffer even
unto the end OF their days because
of the extreme narrow-mindedness Of
those in authority.
Now If the blind OF the District
and of the Nation were to unite in
one concerted effort and make an
appeal to the gentlemen on Capitol
Hill, it is highly likely that this hon
orable body will lend an ear to so
worthy a cause. cause equally as
worthy as the cash payment Of the
