Hendrix William Van Loon starts
a recent article in a leading maya
zine with this statement.
There is one thing infinitely
worse than not knowing thing
and that is to know it the wrong
way. The ills of the world just now
are not due TO our lack of informa-
ton, but to the widespread dis
tribution of vast amounts of in
formation that just amt so,
And isn't that the truth. All
around one can be seen well mean
ing persons rushing about devoting
their energies to the PRONUNCIATION
of theories and ideas that are con-
trary to all the laws of nature and
of common sense. And yet they are
fanatically certain their hair-brained
theories are going to make a para
disc out of this old world If they
would only be adopted. These zeal
cts cannot see lat their theories

LEGION AND COURT
(Indianapolis News

In opposing the supreme court en-
largement bill now before congress,
the national executive committee Of
the American Legion did not assume
to speak without the specific au-
thority of the Legion. 1t set no
precedent 1t did no more than re-
affirm position that the Legion
took by formal resolution at the ma
tional conventions of 1922 and 1927
BY these resolutions, and the action
of the executive committee, the Le-
glon is on record as condemning
any effort to grant congress Judi
cial powers and authority now vest
ed in the supreme court of the
United States.
This declaration is of unusual in
terest because it can in no way be
ascrlbed to partisanship. 1t is
wholly stand for the form of gov
eminent resting on the authority
of the people. That is the American
government, and the Legion is UNI
alterably committed to its preserva-
ton. Whether the Legion would
oppose constitutional amendments
authorizing the proposed enlarge
ment cannot be foretoldl but its
resolution leans strongly toward the
independence of the courts.

One of the strange sights viewed
by the U. S. navy during their re-
cent trip to Alaska in connection
with Fleet Problem XVIII was the
annual migration of millions of seals
from their winter grounds in the
warm waters of southern California
and Mexico to their breeding
grounds on the barren shores of the
Pribilof Islands of Alaska.
In February of each year, these
seals depart in small groups from
their winter habitats in the south
and proceed north up the Pacific
coast congregating into one large
herd off the Columbia river in Ore
gon, thence onto their summer home
in the far north
The annual migration of these
seals occasions one of the strange
duties of the coast guard riding
herd on milady's coat of the future.
The coast guard cutters convoy this
aquatic herd of wealth to prevent
prelagic poaching, outlawed many
years ago.
Under existing law, the natives
retain the right to hunt these ami
mails. the same as they did before
the coming of the white man, but
only providing they use the same
primitive methods of old, with dug
outs and spears. Gas boats and
rifles are prohibited
1t is interesting to note that these
great seal herds alone have re-
turned the United States just ex-
actly ten times the original amount
of $7,200,00000 paid for the entire
Territory of Alaska.

in the young girls choir that was

both in their views of flying and in

Trouble starts when HaWorth is
