Who Wouldn't Do It.?

NNE man on my list of monares breaker
~ boy or something of the kind in a Pennsylvania
coal mine and left home to land in Chicago about
40 years ago with about dollars worth of money
and baggage. Chicago growing and by
working hard and outguessing other people who
trying to outgueSs him he accumulated a fortune in
business 1 wasn't there, but 1 don't doubt that he
worked hard, because he is huge strong man even
along toward 70 and horse for energy to this day.
He never had any time for hanging around
saloons horse parks. He didn't go to burlesque
shows and he was always saving dollar by SELF
denial 1t would not surprise me to be told that he
tramped few of his contemporaries his way to
wealth But it is reasonable to that they
trying to trampe him.
1t might be heresy, but I believe that in most
was a better man and worked harder To hedge
slightly would like to exclude from this generality
the luck-miOnares including executives who got
rich in the market boom of Mr. Coolidge's reign 1t
wasn't necessary for them to know much or work
hard They just happened to have a dollar on
mlion-to-one shot which turned up. Still, even
these were not essentially different in character from
those who failed.
If there is a poor man in the country at this mo-
ment who would refuse to accept the oppor-
tunity to quit being poor and become millionaire
would be glad to hold his coat while he chucks the
first stone at millionaire.

He Quit the Game

/ was amusing one day to hear who made
L many millions through stock promotions during
the boom worrying out loud about his fortune under
the New Deal He had cashed in, picked I'D his
marbles and withdrawn from the game The losses
which he had suffered amounted to millions in paper
profits but he still had millions of hard money left
Nevertheless he was moaning with pain and seemed
to be suffering from fear as much as any poor man
suffers from want idlenesS and the melancholy feel
ing that the years slipping by.
The millionaires my list not different from
the nOn-rich downright poor in character, how
ever and the feeling against them is due solely to
the fact that they got rich. If they still poor
nobody would think much about them one way or
another
True some of our rich men have been terribly
brutal toward people of their native kind, which
is to say the poor, who worked for them helping
them to get rich But these employees hoping
to get rich themselves, and they did not make mil
lionaires of their bosses because they wanted to.
The small employer is just likely to grind his help
to make a dollar for himself, and there is any
lack of foremen floorwalkers, spoilers, inspectors
and petty executives in the poor brackets to drive
and haraSs other poor people in the hope of strug-
Cling up to wealth themselves.

Making the Rich Disseminated

OF ,ate his drive has been to array the rich
~ against the poor and to establish cells or nuclei
TO bore from within most sacred institutions.
Not even the schools the colleges the churches
have been left untouched by this nsidous campaign
Some people take these things lightly, and men who
point out the danger to the republic scoffed at as
white baiters" Nevertheless. certain men have said
such extraordinary anti-democratlc things IN
furthering the soak-the-poor movement that Sus-
picon naturally arises that they are in the pay of
San Simeon
Teachers who are caught in the act of spreading
the soak-he-p virus in their classrooms are for
ever CRYING that they should be allowed academic
freedom The very people who would be the first to
suppress free speech and free assembly if San Simeon
captured the country have the audacity to ask for
protection under that Bill of Rights which they
despise and which they have made a scrap of paper
in their own territory Academic freedom is one
thing but lndcctrination is quite another. Hearst
leaflets are being put the hands of school children

nroperlv ask him TO have carbon copies mace to go

And then I think. it might not be amiss TO Send
another protest note 10 an individual who holds no
elected Office and Yet rules a somewhat extensive
rircinaltv within the borders of the United States
I am not suggesting for moment that San Simeon
should be annexed and brought within the Union
II should be sufficient to complain against the IN
reference Of Mr. Hearst and his agents in the IN
ternal affairs Of this country.
It would be easy to cite the manner in which
they are attempting bring the existing social and
economic order in America into disrepute. Mr.
Hearst has insisted on "clasS angling" all the news
and editorial comment which passes through his
hands His class-conscious attitude is repugnant to
those Democratic ideals which were preached by
Thomas jefferson.

The Use of DupeS

MUCH of the San Simeon propaganda is carried
WI on covertly by various organizations bearing
high-sounding ano processing to be of spon-
taneOuS origin and having connection with the
party Thus have leagues. societies and assocla-
tons which. for the purpose of befuddlement. are
dedicated to the preservation of Liberty, the Con-
stitution" the American home" and so on. But ex-
anime the literature of these groups and you will find
that in every they nSinuating the un-
American doctrine of soak-the-poor.
Even the Army and the Navy have felt the in
roads. Again and again poor unsuSpecting and
not overly bright admiral general will be diScov-
cred as the Spearhead of the San Simeon movement.
There is of course, brain trust made up OF men
whose wild and bizarre theories are based on an
utter ignorance of practical affairs The late Rich
ard Washburn Child a leader in this crew, and
now his mantle has descended to cambridge Colby.
Mr. Colby once a Washington official, and it has
been charged and never denied that he can both
read and write.
BY all means the Sharpest sort of protest should
be sent to William Randolph Hearst, and if no salts
factory is received it should be the palpable
DUTY of America to break off diplomatic relations
with the kingdom of San Simeon.

Today S Science
by DAVID DIETZ

NTORD comes from England that the British
w Admiralty has decided to undertake the con-
struction of magnetic survey ship to carry the
work of making magnetic observations at sea
Up to 1929 such observations were made by the
Carnegie, the non-magnetc yacht of the Carnegie
Institution Of Washington. This boat built en-
tirey without the aid of iron Brass screws copper
nails, and fittings Of on-magnetic metal used
throughout. Even the engine which supplemented
the sails when necessary, built without iron
For 20 years, the Carnegie. under the direction
of Capt James Percy Ault, sailed the seven seas Of
the world. His cruises toaled 343 600 miles In May
1923. Capt. Ault took the Carnegie out for what was
to be three-year cruise, the seventh cruise since
the ships launching in 1909
On Nov. &c. 1929 tragedy overlook Capt Ault and
the Carnegie. An explosion occurred while gasoline
being brought aboard. The ship destroyed
by fire Capt. Ault and the cabin boy killed and
several other members of the scientific staff and
severely burned.
TINE chief function of the Carnegie was to study
i and record the variation of the compacts that
is the deviation Of the compass from the true north.
Ever since the days of Columbus it has been known
that the compass does not behave the same in all
localities.
1t will be recalled that the strange behavior Of
the compass brought Columbus sailors almost to the
point of mutny. BY the end Of the seventeenth CEN
tury mariners realized that the compass ought to be
supplemented by magnetic chart showing what
allowance to make in different localities for variation.
The first chart of this sort made by Edmund
HALEY better known as the after whom Haeys
comet named At the expense of the English gov
eminent HALEY sailed the seas in ship called the
Paramour Pink from 1893 to 1701.
MO list Of heroes of modern exploration will be
~ complete unless it contains the name of Capt.
Ault The public heard much about him be-
he tried to reach the North Pole by sub
marine or the South Pole by plane.
But sea captains will remember him and bless his
name for he helped make the world little safer for
sailors and scientists remember him who spent
long years of hard work enrching mankind's knowl-
edge
Continuous surveys of the variation Of the COM
pass are necessary because not only does the drec-
ton Of the compass vary with locality but at any
given locality these changes combination OF
daily, annual, and longer periodic changes

Larger crowds watched
its progress across Iowa
where it slowed down
slightly, doing the 274 miles
through that states towns
and farms at 1873 miles an
hour. In Illinois it gained
speed again.
A solid line of spectators, three
and four deep, lined the track
from Aurora to Chicago.
AS the sun sank toward the
Western horizon, it pulled into
Chicago. where a crowd of 10000,
present for the 1884 opening of
the Century of Progress World
Fair, swarmed around it.
A SILVERY streak in motion, it
IN appeared at rest like some
thing from the planet Mars. 1t

up at the Century of Progress in

-to-sunset run of 1917
miles Throughout the run it had
averaged 1877 miles per hour.

fastest, nonstop run in railroad
history. Built by the Edward G.
Budd Manufacturing Co., the
Zephyr was powered by a 600
horse power, two-cycle Diesel en-
CINE, built by the Winton Engine
Corp. of Cleveland, subsidiary of
the General Motors Corp.
May IS, 1894, was the day of the
historic run. And it was appro-
pirate to have the run end at the
Century of Progress. The achieve
ments of a century of science and
engineering and industry were
celebrated by the Century of
Progress Fair.
TINE Burlington Zephyr looked
Il ahead to the future. 1t signi-
fed that science and engineering
were not content to rest with their
progress to date. 1t told of what
was coming.
1t was the herald of a new age,
the age of the Diesel, new era in
which the Diesel engine was to
lead the nation out of the depres-
sion and into an era of industrial
growth and expansion.
The Burlington Zephyr was not
alone. Since February of that
same year, the Union Pacific had
been displaying its Diesel-powered
high-speed, lightweight, articu-
lated train. Built in the Chicago
plant of the Pullman Car and
Manufacturing Corp, this train
likewise was equipped with a VIM
ton engine.
Resembling more than anything
else a huge airplane fuSelage on
wheels, the train presented new
and novel appearance from its
bullet-like nose to it's f1nlike tail.

careers with those of certain contemporaries who
did not get rich, must acknowledge that they got
theirs because they were smarter, gamer more

PREVENTION of infections by vaccination has come
L TO De wel-eStablished procedure in medicine.
Vaccination against smallpox is now well past 100
years old in fact almost century and half.
As result smallpox has been largely stamped
out of The civilized world Nevertheless there
tinue to be rabid opponents of this procedure and
in every country there is constantly waged cam
paign for diScontinuance Of vaccination against
smallpox.
1t is pointed out by a committee which recently
investigated the subject in Great Britain that vac
cinaton there has declined greatly. Exemptions are
so easily obtained that the number has risen from
per cent exempted in 1898 to AIS per cent in 1882
Nevertheless the application of other procedures
for control of smallpox has been so efficient that
serious smallpox has not yet returned in any con-
siderable number of The condition Is, OF
course kept under control by isoating cases OF in
lection and similar procedure.
DPHTHERIA in Great Britain, il found by
IL special committee is not less prevalent than
formerly but is less fatal. though it still accounts
for 5000 deaths every year. Health authorities are
unanimous in urging that children be mmunzed
against diphtheria. using dphtheria toxod.
II has been found that 95 per cent OF those given
protection by use Of toxoid will have resistance
against the diseases from three to five years after
the injection.
MEASLES. as recently pointed out in these col
WI umns may be prevented in the presence of
epidemics by injecting into children blood from those
recovering from the disease.
This should be given 10 the child in the first five
days after its exposure. However measles in the
absence of epidemic is not serious enough TO
recommend use Of such vaccination routine
procedure.
This applies also 10 scarlet fever. in which i'm
munzaton is reserved at present for persons who
work in hospitals and for children in institutions
where an outbreak occurs.
The reSaon is. of course that scarlet fever is not
an exceedingly frequent condition and also that
the reactions to the incubation may sometimes give
annoyance.
