in New York city, on Thurs -
clay, 10, 41) Americans spent a
cents each to ask, ''What tinioj
is it?" The telephone company i
had refused to answer that I
question, 'but decided to ans- j
wcr and charge a nickel. "The
laborer is worthy of his hire."
'Jnis American indifference
to 5 cents is a sign of prosper
ity, also of foolish laziness in ;
some cases. ;
Dealers in clocks and watch-j

Bert Ifasscll and Tarkcr
Cramer finished in seven hours
the first. 800 miles of their
journey from Illinois, to Swcd-
en, flying 110 miles nn hour,
That, will seem a snail's pace
to future generations.
Men have already beaten the
moon in its journey around
the earth. The moon's trip
takes a little more than twenty-seven
days. . Flyers have
made the trip in twenty-three
days.
. M
Heating the moon around
the earth is one achievement.
The next will be to ,TIE the
sun in its apparent journey
around "the earth'' " V.V;
' AVith machines flying 1,000
miles an hour, gentlemen want
ing a prolonged sun bath will
be able to fly directly under
the sun, following it around
the earth for twenty-four hours
or longer.
New York's civil service
commission . investigated the
qualities of life guards, hired
by politicians to protect New
York City's beaches. They
were supposed to daslf into
the boiling surf and save the
drowning.
It was found that of 1G3
guards 15 couldn't swim a
stroke, 18 more refused to
"risk the swimming test in the
water." They thought it too
dangerous. In the words of
Mr. Cook, of Los Angeles, im
agine their embarrassment
when anyone cried ''help."
There may be something in
the statement that, politicians
are not fit to attend to any
kind of business. In New
York they certainly are not fit
to select life guards.
M
In Mexico the Indians, : a
very large percentage of the
population, arc said to be "re
verting to paganism, being de
prived of priests."
ftvernment restrictions and
interference with religions ex
ercises have caused "the lower
classes to lose respect for the
churches.".
. The Mexican law forbidding
any but Mexicans to exercise
priestly functions leave large
populations without, religious
guidance.
, It is strange, in this coun
try, to see two countries, as
far apart as Kussia and Mex
ico, experimenting in religions
interference. The French did
the same, even more drastical
ly, after the revolution.
But when Napoleon came to
power lie re-established the church
and the salaries of the Priesthood,
saying, "I need spiritual gendar
merie as well as a physical rmy."

which were stored a considerabe
quantity of explosives.

No other casualties were reported.

rapidly as no rain had fallen for
several weeks. A strong wind .fan
