RACING BALLOON
BURSTS AT MEET
Brussels. Several unfortunate in

Sunday for the Gordon Bennett cup,
the American balloons being especial
ly unlucky. The United States army
S O drifted onto the Belgian Yille de
Bruxelles, tearing the rigging so badly
that the Belgian balloon was unable
to start.
The United States A-6699 narrowly
escaped catastrophe and had to throw-
out ballast wholesale, which fell
among the spectators.
The Saint Louis, a third American
balloon, was caught by a heavy squall
and burst ten minutes before the time
for her departure.
The oalloon race started in ter
rific gusts of wind and driving rain.
and has already cost three lives. Of
the 17 entrants assembled for the
race, lg so far as is known, are in
the air.
One of the balloons, reported to be
the Swiss Geneva, was struck by light
ning, and Lieutenants Yon Gruninggen
md YVhcren were killed. The Spanish
balloon Polar caught fire and its pilot,
Penaranda, was killed and his assist
ant, Comcz. injured.
Thus two of the American contest
ants are striving against three French,
two Belgian, two Spanish, two Swiss

Washington, D. C Sydney Ander
son, representative of Minnesota and
head of the National Wheat council,
disc ussed the wheat solution at some
length with President Coolidge Satur
day and urged the necessity of using
the flexible provision of the tariff law
to provide the American wheat grow
er additional protection against Cana
dian grain. He announced immediate
ly afterward that he would urge the
matter before the tariff commission
early this week.
He pointed out the power of the
executive under the law to raise or
lower duties 50 per cent of the fixed j
rate if deemed in the interest of
American producers. The duty on
wheat being 30 cents a bushel, he re
minded the president that without call
ing congress in session the rate could
be increased to 45 cents.
Canadian wheat Is now being sold
in Minneapolis in spite of the tariff.
Mr. Anderson said he had been ad
vised, and that being the case, the
first move should be to protect the
American grower to the limit before
taking any steps to stabilize the
domestic market. He said it looked
to him like poor business to employ
methods to help American producers
without at the same time doing some
thing to prevent the dumping of large
quantities of the foreign wheat in this
country in competition at the more
advantageous prices. If Canadian
growers can compete now, he pointed
out, improved conditions in this coun
try certainly would do nothing less
than to increase the availability of do
mestic markets to the foreign product.
Representative Anderson declared
his opposition to any price-fixing
plan but did not commit himself on
any of the other stabilization pro
posals, of which there are many, ex
cept to indicate that they did not im
press him deeply. He let it be known
that in his study of the grain situa
tion in connection with his activities
on the wheat council he was convinc
ed that rapid improvement in the
wheat market is near. He asserted
the conviction that in the end it will
develop that this country actually lias
no surplus of millable wheat.
The question of readjustment of
acreage in the sowing of the next
crop was discussed with the president
and was agreed upon as one of the
solutions, which of course could not
be a help to the producers of this
year's crop. He said after leaving the
White House there was no (Ioh.h hat
with acreage today on the five year
average before the war there would
be no complaint whatsoever now re
garding the wheat situation.
The latter statement Is understood
to have referred to the figures of
government statisticians showing that
while 14 states decreased wheat acre
age very considerably in 1923. the
average planting for the United States
as a whole was 13,744,000 acres great

WASTING ENERGY
OINCB the beginning of time men
have wasted millions of years of
energy in trying to solve the unknow
able. The mysteries of life and death, the
puzzle of space, these things are be
yond the grasp of the human mind.
Let them alone. There Is abundant
knowledge that can be learned, useful
knowledge that will help you with
your career.
Study that kind of knowledge. Take
mental food that your mind can digest.
Take It in abundance. Work hard to
get it.
But do not torture your mind with
problems that are beyond your reach.
A scientist, searching" for truth, de
termines as soon as he can in what
directions he can make progress. And
his researches follow in these direc
tions. Where he sees a stone wall set up
against him, he turns aside.
There Is no use trying to travel any
further In that way. There Is plenty
of work to do that can be done. And
that is the work that occupies the
Investigator's mind.
The average man will need all his
brains nnd all his energy studying
things that can be found out. We do
not mean things that are already
known. If you stopped with these, the
world would forever remain in its
present Ignorance, which is vast com
pared with what It will know In the
future.
But where life comes fi-m. why it
flickers for a brief space and dies,
and what Is beyond the stars is some
thing that until we receive hitherto
unheard of light, we shall never know.
Waste no time on these problems.
They are as vain as the efforts of the
alchemist to turn base metals to gold,
which occupied brains that might have
been better used on learning more use
ful things.
Learn first the limitations of the
subject that you study. That will
dispose of much puzzle and worry, and
enable you to go ahead and give It
the time and thought that may add
to the world's store of wisdom, and
will certainly add to your own.
