the reign Of King Ogyges, saith Adrastos Cyzi-
cenos and Dion Neapolites noble mathematician I"
II this is true, it means one Of three things
either that our next door planet between us and
the SUM- yanked out of its orbit or that it was
made TO look that way by the fact that this earth
was yanked out of hers or perhaps by both those
things happening at once.
WHILE sending to other parts of the world for
w corroborating witnesses to that Venus phe-
nomenon, let us see what il would mean to this
world. If the earth, up to that time had been
swinging around the sun in an orbit much closer
TO Venus than at present, the terrestrial year in
stead Of 365 must have been much shorter, per-
haps $50 TO 260 days
In that case historians owe an apology to the
scrbes who credited the first Sumeran kings with
such incredibly long reigns On the basis of $50
day year, they not incredible.
Most interesting of all, it brings the lives of
the Biblical patriarchs within the realm of scientific
acceptation.
Methuseah, champion of them ALL lived to be
900 years This has already been pared down to
fourth, by the conviction that each of the four
seasons was counted as year, but even that gives
him 242 years which is a full century too much,
without supernatural Intervention.
On the shorter year basis it would reduce
Methuselah's longevity to somewhere around 166
years of our length. not startngly greater than
the record of "Old Parr" whose aged bones lie in
NcSlHhlSIeI ADDey because ne managed 10 chedt
the grave for nearly a century and half, and
might have done much better had he not devoted
his last few decades to heavy eating and drinking
If the earth was that much closer to the sun
it must have warmed up the entire globe so much
that swampy, coa-producing forests and tropical
plants could flourish even at the poles. This would
be one plausible Interpretation the circumstan-
tial evidence given by Spitzbergen and other polar
regions.
And that rainbow? 1t takes it out of the realm
Of poetry into solid scientific probability.
Astronomers agree that no rainbow is ever to
be seen on Venus, even if there were eyes to see
it, because she is too close to the hot sun From
pole to pole the planet is wrapped in an unbroken
blanket of clouds Of water vapor endessly boil

there be a rainbow because this re-

When the earth was occupying Z

this cloud-shrouded condition. Pull ~

time. This new and striking phe- *

President Roosevelt and Leon
Henderson told us a dangerous
imitation was at hand, and they
said nothing 10 make us think
1t could be avoided.
They have recommended some
strong legislation which will en-
able them 10 take hold of the
price situation they foreSee, but
the legislation is tied up in con-
gresSional committees where
cotton senators do not like il.
Their attitude is that the cot
ton farmer has suffered for
many long years, and now is his
time TO get his just dues.
They don't think little infla-
ton would hurt the country.
But every reasoning man knows
that every time you lift the
price Of cotton you cut a wage.
WE ARE in condition where
w a lot of people who have
never before made more than
$50 a week in all their lives are
now making $50 and 500 a
week.
Naturally they want to spend
it, If they spend it. as they
must. they create a demand for
goods of which there is already
shortage. owing TO our defense
needs and the demand for
British sustenance.- So where
