In fact, they Insist, this class Is apparently anxious to learn something about the religion of the west, even if there Is no intention of embrac ing it. ' A few weeks ago two field agents ran into a group of radical students who threatened the dis pensers of Christian literature. The salesmen took to their heels. They ran, however, to the magistrate of the district. First he purchased a set of Gospels for his own use, then he called a mass meeting and Introduced the agents to tho com m unity..

HOLLYWOOD. Theso movlo stars, lead a life of scented silken ease. Everybody knows that. Mnry-Urtan has been enjoying her first vacation in many moons. Do you know the who ir T a ii afv'-ewj ipostmun hikes on his day off? Mary has been "catching u p" on "h o t movies, s e o I n g pictures she miss ed while working on her own. Many stars have been work ing almost wholly at night, since talkies came, with breakfast at twilight, lunch at midnight, and re tiring at dawn. That Is being changcil largely now, as more sound Stages are available for day recording. Hut pIor a while Mary Itrlan, for one, was beginning to resemble a hot house Illy, ho seldom did she see the sunshine. That was why going on location for "Tho Virginian." up in the hot open spaces of northern California, was like a lark to her. It wna her first locution, (rip since talkies set In. And as a result her naturally Whlto complexion now glows with Mary Milan. NEW YORK In his quest for speed, man has succeeded in riding u self-made tornudo. That, says iJr. .O, 11. I'egrarn, Columbia university physicist, is what tho recent llrltlsh flight at 368.8 miles an hour amounted to. Anyone who hus seen a tor nado with a force capable of driv ing a straw into a plank, can reullze the Kpeed attained by A. H. Orlebar, captain of the iirltisli Schneider cup team, as ho over aged 357.7 miles an hour In four successive spurts over Culshot. About the only difference was that Orlelmr'H piano created its own "tornado." in this instancj culled air resistance. A real tor nado has a calculated velocity of about 400 miles an hour near the vortex. . That's how fast tho fun nel whirls around. Jn Orlebar's flight the piano had the velocity, but if tho pilot had stuck his hand out of the cockpit the consequence probably would have been the sumo as when u twister hits a fence post. Orlebar's speed was approxi mately a mile in 10 seconds. "It wouldn't bo safe to travel In anything faster than seven miles a second' says Dr. I'egram, who Is doan of Columbia's engineering school. "Tho traveler would fly off the earth Into Infinity." And, he mlgjit havo added, eternity. Tho all-time, open speed record of tho universe see is to bo held by light, which travels at ubout 1 86,000 miles a second. . Tho alpha raps of radium are pretty fast but they leap into spaco . at only approximately one twentieth ' of light's velocity. T ONE MILE ' .... J Sr" H y .

"Or to put tho matter In another way, do not think of money as a commodity, for It Is only a medium for the exchange of commodities lelther goods or labor.) Under proper conditions, a man who pays out money does not part with any thing: ho merely gives up some thing that ho has received for value In some other previous transaction, and receives value back again. "So long as tho, circle Is un bitiken goods or money and money for goods the balance of trade so far lis this man Is con cerned Is maintained, lie has not only a place In which to sell, for tho money Is at hand to servo as the medium way.

"What makes tho man do It? Maybe he thinks ho can got goods for less money that way.
