The Big Parade
All this happened In one day!
A twcnty-three-ycar-old boy came
into our office to apply for a job.
When we asked him about his pre
sent occupation he said he was a
parachute jumper.
"I like the work all right," he
added, "but parachute jumping isn't
steady."
I met a mother whose son is about
to graduate from college. What do
you think he wants to be? A bond
salesman? A movie star?
He wants to be an archeologist
...
A man named Volk died in New
York City. He claimed the distinc
tion of having torn down more big
buildings than any other man who
ever lived. But he died without real
izing his ambition. He wanted to
live to tear down the Woolworth
building.
Think of it. Six million people
walking daily through the streets,
each with his separate home and
desire. Who would ever imagine
that one of them was constantly
saying to himself: "Oh, if I could
only tear down the Woolworth
building. That would crown my car
eer." A man with a noisy wife and
seven grown children disappeared
from his home In Brooklyn and was
discovered some months later in
Hartford. Questioned as to why he
left his family, he replied that he
had done his duty as a father and
believed himself entitled to a little
peace in his old age. He had taken
a job as a night watchman in a deaf
and dumb asylum.
Why do I take up valuable white
space to set down these apparently
unimportant and unrelated inci
dents? Because, my friends, one of
the biggest and least expensive of
all pleasures is reading the newspa
per and marveling at the eternal
freshness and variety of the human
race.
Let those who are bilious rail at
the "standardization of modern
life." It is true that many of the
things we eat and use are standard
ized, and living is much simplified
in consequence.
But have no fear that color and
Interest will disappear out of the
world. Every baby has in him some
little spark that makes him differ
ent from every other.
Life will be always amusing to
those who have sense enough to en
Joy it. Practice the good and inex
pensive habit of being eternally en
tertained by your fellow human be
ings. Forget about yourself for a
little while every day, and enjoy the
big parade.

We pay foreigners annually, In
long-term investments of capital
abroad, 808 millions; spent by Am
erican tourists, 565 millions; ocean
freight In foreign ships, 115 mill
ions; sent by recent immigrants to
the folks In "the old country," 223
millions; gold shipped abroad, 120
millions; in all, including miscel
laneous minor items, nearly 2 bill
ions. Those are Department of Com
merce figures. They show in very
plain fashion that Uncle Sam is not
robbing the rest of the world.
SHIPS
The three-power naval treaty puts
an end to competition in the build
ing of warships, but competition in
passenger-carrying craft is giving
the great shipyards of the world
more work than they can handle
easily.
France is the latest nation to en
ter this race, with an order for a
ship 991 feet long, to be built at
St. Nazaire. It will have over 60,000
tons displacement and 120,000 horse
power, and will be finished in 1933.
The White Star line is building the
new Oceanic in Belfast, Ireland, to
be 1,000 feet long, costing 25 million
dollars, ready for service in 1932.
Each of the three Italian lines is
building a great Diesel-engine mo
torshtp, to make the run between
Naples and New York in days.
All of those are in addition to the
new German, Cunard and American
sea monsters of which I wrote re
cently. In five years the cost of
ocean travel will be reduced by this
competition and the speed increas
ed, so that anybody having a 30-day
holiday can make a considerable
tour of Europe for three or four
hundred dollars.
DEPTH
Inside of a steel ball, lowered at
the end of a cable, Dr. William Bee
be, famous ocean naturalist, de
scended 1,426 feet below the surface
of the ocean. There were thick
quartz windows in the diving appar
atus through which he projected an
electric light and saw the strange
creatures which swim at that great
depth.
Probably no man will ever go
much deeper under the sea, for even
at a quarter of a mile the water
pressure is COO pounds to the square
inch. Under ground men have pen
etrated a full mile. In the Tamarack
mine in Michigan. There are sev
eral mines more than 4,000 feet
deep. The -greatest danger in deep
mines is the temperature. Miners
in the Comstock mine work at a
temperature of 130 degrees.
Some day man will tunnel fifteen
miles deep or more and utilize the
earth's heat to run machinery on
the surface.

Stuffed Tomato Salad.
Peel six small tomatoes, cut a
slice from the stem end of each, re
move the soft inside, sprinkle the
insides with salt and let stand. In
verted, thirty minutes. Mash half
a cream cheese, add six chopped pi
molas, one tablespoon of fine-chopped
parsley,' one tablespoon of to
mato pulp, one-fourth teaspoon of
dry mustard and enough French
dressing to moisten. Fill the tomato
cases with the mixture and serve on
lettuce leaves with mayonnaise
dressing.
Tomatoes and Eggs
Grease muffin pans; put one thick
slice of unpeeled tomato Into each
tin; season with salt and pepper;
break one egg on top of each slice;
again season with salt and pepper
and put a small piece of butter on
top of each egg. Bake in oven until
egg is set and cooked through but
not hard. Serve on small rounds of
toast and garnish with parsley.
FLYER
A man from Australia flew from
Ireland to Newfoundland and
thence to New York. Kingsford
Smith had previously flown the
same plane, the Southern Cross,
from California to Australia, and
thence to England.
Nothing could illustrate better
the way in which aviation is begin
ning to eliminate national boundar
ies and pull the whole world to
gether. Kingsford-Smith's flight is the
first really successful East-to-West
crossing of the North Atlantic in an
( 1 -vi - . I
uirpmiie. winy une uuier plane
which has attempted it has succeed
ed in getting across. That was the
German "Bremen," which was
wrecked in Labrador in trying to
lund. Fog is the great obstacle. No
plane has yet been able to carry
enough fuel to take the longer sou
thern route. Only the radio direc
tion finder enabled Kingsford-Smlth
to make a safe landing.
Thus far, the dirigible holds the
best promise for safe and speedy
trans-oceanic air navigation.
PATENTS
Under a law just enacted by Con
gress, anybody who invents a new
kind of plant, by cross-breeding,
can get a patent on the product.
This is something new in patents.
Of course, a new species of food
plant, such as the Loganberry, for
example, which was produced by
crossing two well-known varieties,
Is an invention, just as much as a
new machine; but heretofore the
inventors of such things have had
no protection.
Under the new law the inventor,
or whoever he sells his patent to,
will have the exclusive right for 17
years to grow and sell roots, cutting
or seeds from the new kind of plant
which he has Invented.
TRADE
International business depends
upon nations buying from each oth
er in substantially equal amounts.
This is the way it works out be
tween the United States and the
rest of the world:
Foreigners pay us annually, for
excess of our exports over our im
ports, 734 millions; for interest on
our foreign Investments, 562 mill
ions; for government war debts, 207
millions; foreign money Invested In
the U. S., 396 millions; In all, includ

A lady was entertaining the small
son of a married friend.
"Are you quite sure you can cut
your meat, Willy?" she asked,
watching him a moment.
"Oh, yessum," he replied without
looking up. "We often have it as
tough as this at home."
Mr. Pewee: "Why did you get me
such big shirts? Thesa are four
sizes too large for me."
His Wife: "They cost just the
same as your size, and I wasn't go
ing to let a strange clerk know I
married such a small man!"
Teacher: "Now, Ruth, suppose
your mother, and you, and the baby
should go out to the park some af
ternoon, how many would that be?"
Ruth: "It would be two, and one
to carry!"

THE NEW FOBD TIIDOB SEDAN
YOU are buying proved performance
when you buy a Ford. You know it
has been built for many thousands
of miles of satisfactory, economical
service.
Letters from users in every part
of the world show the value of
the sound design of the car, good
materials and accuracy in manu
facturing. You sense a feeling of
sincere pride in the oft-repeated
phrase "Let me tell you what my
new Ford did."
Further tribute to the slurdiness,
reliability and general all-round per
formauce of the new Ford is shown
in the repeated and growing pur
chases by government bureaus, by
police departments, and by large
industrial companies which keep
careful day-by-day cost records. In
most cases, the new Ford has been
chosen only after exhaustive tests
covering speed and power, safety,
comfort, ease of control, oil and gas
consumption, low yearly deprecia
tion, and low cost of up-keep.
They have found, as you will find,
that the Ford embodies every feature
you want or need in a motor car at
an unusually low price.
