Mystery of Lightning Bug

A MOTHER fascinating thing is what they call
"A the cold light which the lightning bug pro-
duces. They have never yet as far as have
been able to find out discovered how this light is
created. Everyone knows the terrific waste in
an ordinary electric light bulb the heat that is
thrown out the minute it is turned on; but, with
the lightning bug. there isn't particle Of waste
Of heat when he fits through the dark night.
If man could once find out the mystery Of this
cold light, it would be an untold blessing to
humanity and q great force that would revolu.
tionize the world Of electricity.
We fret and we worry and no one can blame
us, but I have found 1t q mighty good thing
when you get too discouraged to look around and
think Of the mysteries hidden on every side, and
you realize how true the saying is:
There are more things in heaven and earth,
Than are dreamt Of in your philosophy"

MRS. M'LEAN ON VACATION


Now, from England, comes an interesting story
Of how they are boiling the core Of the atoms
which holds the key to vast power. Just like
water or mercury evaporates when heated, so the
atomic heart acts on being bombarded. This
bombarding Of the core of an atom Is done by
protons and neutrons or by penetrating rays of
tremendous power.
When YOU lombard the atoms core it forms
an unstable compound. Then the second stage
in this new step is when the wholeheated core
breaks up, turning out particle or ray of light.
You see, If we could once utilize the atoms
energy for human use. there is no limit to what
might be accomplished.

The great failure of the Presidents reasoning
lies in his omission Of the concept Of radical"
The two terms, liberal and conservative, do not
cover the ground. What he does is to say
that he is not conservative; therefore he is
liberal But that does not follow. He Is
essentially q radical since he believes in sweep
ing revolutionary changes in the social order.
What we need is to have the extreme radicals
and conservatives split off. Then we, moderate
liberals, can defeat both, and keep things in bal
ance.
The Presidents real game is to try to hold
radical city laborers (CIo) and conservative
farmers together, by confusing issues. and
calling them all liberals"

Referring to many people in private and public
life" who have not liked some Of the things done
by Roosevelt since 1885, Mr.. Roosevelt declared
that they were in favor Of local initiative without
Federal help" "If improvement could not come
without Government action" he said, then they
wanted no improvement at ALL"
Question: Who made such a claim? When?
Where? The truth more nearly is that Roose-

even Teactionaries' The people who feel the
past ought to be brought up to the present by
using every legitimate instrument to do the

In other words, people who agree with Roose-
velt are liberals or progressives. People who dis
agree are conservatives and reactionaries.

to be honestly one or the other. But the ma

Managed Currency
MILWAUKEE. Wis, asks: isn't a managed
AVA currency the best way to handle such dis
turbing conditions as the present gold move
mentS devaluation, etc.,"
Answer: think not. But even If 1t were,
what conclusion could be drawn? Conditions
are now so abnormal, and so full Of dsequilibrium
that they cannot endure. We don't want them
to. It is almost automatic that the expedients of
today arA bad as a steady diet.
Some Of my objections to managed currency"
now, are: Cd It provides the basis for govern.
ment spending, nationalism, relationships, etc.
It is the means by which .demagogues seize con-
troll, and buy votes. (2) It is another name
for monetary socialism. In order to manage"
the currency, prices and the price level must
be controlled, including wages. But price control
is either meaningless and futile, or it means
control the quality Of all goods and services
produced and consumed.
