WESTERN railroads are building, for experimental PU'P"""' "Bttt' atreamllned tratm that will operate at an excess of 100 mllea an hour. Railroad officials tell us that suc cessful operation of these new trains will mean "virtually scrapping a" present railway equipment." 1 PASSENGER airplanes, operating on regular schedule, now cross the continent In a day and a night. Passengers ride these planes, not SJ , adventure, but In the regular course of their business, thinking nothing of It. - .uanwhile. we read of cxpcrl- JV1 mental planes that travel at apeeds In excess of 300 miles an hour, or better than five mflea a minute, a. the time Is at hand when the continent will be crossed in regular commercial service, between the hours of sunup and sundown, of.ONEL and Mrs. Lindbergh are now engaged In mapping routes .r,..Atintlc air service. Buj money Is back of these plans. We shsll see the time, and at no distant date, when aircraft will ope rate regularly over the oceans, Just as they now operate regularly over the land. SO MUCH for mechanical progress, Let us turn now to another field Dr. J. Bertram Colllp, professor 01 biochemistry at McQIll university. In Canada, speaking in Kansas City, sketches a vision of a future In which human lite will be prolonged, bodily imperfections eliminated and senility checked. What he means, expressed In lan guage that you and I can under stand. Is that people will live longer and will be free from sickness and deformity and the weaknesses of old age. ALL THIS, he says, will come about through learning how to influ ence and control the pituitary gland, which Is a smsll gland located with in our skulls and giving off secre tions that, alfect growth, size, sex and DECAY. By effecting decsy, It affects the advance of old age. THE WORLD Isn't standing atlll. no matter what the pessimists may tell you. It is going forward faster, probsbly, than It ever went before. That part of our lives which lles before us la full of romsnce and ad venture. The next few years are going to be among the most Interest ing yeara In the world's history. We are going to do things we never even dreamed of doing before llnd out things we never dreamed of find ing out. Perhaps we shsll even find out how to sbollsh poverty and want, giving to every normal being his share of the good things of life. It Is an alluring prospect, isn't It? f ET D8 get back, for a moment; to Ii these new trains and the predic tion thst their successful operation will mean virtual scrapping of all present railway equipment. A generation ago that would have been regarded as a CALAMITY, ai tremendous and unwarranted de atructlon of wealth. Now we know better. We know thst scrapping all existing rsilwsy equipment and re placing it with SOMETHING BET TER would mean vast new employ ment, creation of nev Jobs at good wages for those making the new and belter equipment. We are lesrnlng slowly the great lesson that the world PROSPERS THROUGH PROGRESS. t TP TO l generation or so ago, we V believed that prosperity was ere ated by SAVING. Now we know that within reasonable limitations pros, perlty la CREATED BY SPENDINO. We know now that if everybody saves and nobody spends there will soon be no Jobs, and prosperity la brought shout by providing Jobs for everybody at .air wsges. It s surprising how we change our ideas. Isn't It T (Continued fiom Page 8ixi Fruit of Worry APPLETON, Minn., Oct. 7.

(AP) The pressure of President Roosevelt tonight won an agreement irom me steel industry to enter negotiation in eood Xaith" with representative of the miners to settle the Pennsyl vania coal strike. Almost as a preamble to the d ta ctions the chief executive unveiled a monument to the late Samuel Gompers, organized labor's chieftain for many years, with a declaration against some employers "who prefer government by a privileged class' and "hot heads' among workers ,lwho think that results can be ob tained by noise or violence." Aides of Hugh S. Johnson, recov ery administrator, meanwhile, were pulling together the final details of the next distinct pbase of the recov ery drive: the "Now la the time to buy" movement beginning on Mon day. Employers the nation over have been urged to cooperate In the great merchandise selling campaign, and the administration said today porta "pledging every effort toward a smashing success," were pouring In by every mall. The administration made public j letters from big and little Industries promising Increased advertising cam paigns to stimulate buying. Johnson over the week-end was ex pected to study, and perhaps give final approval, to the retail code with Its minimum price control plan, which has drawn ths fire of con sumers' representatives. After con ferences with members of his staff opposing the proposal, there was no indication that the administrator bad changed his views In favor of a prohibition against retailers selling at less than wholesale cost plus ten per cent. Officials believed Johnson would send the code to Mr. Roosevelt by Monday or Tuesday for action. Sim ultaneously hearings will be under way before the farm administration on wholesale and retail grocery codes, containing similar provisions. With the farm administration opposed to the price regulations, President Roosevelt may be left to choose be tween the recommendations of John son and Secretary Wallace. WASHINGTON. Oct. 7. (API- President Roosevelt today publicly assailed the NRA "objectors." who are handicapping his recovery pro gram and asserted this was no time "to seek special privilege, undue ad vantage of personal gain because we face today a crisis." His address was delivered in dedi cating a huge bronze memorial to Samuel Gompers, who served 38 yeara aa president of the federation before he died in Mexico in 1924. I The president said there were "hot; heads" In workers ranks, "who think I that results can be obtained by noise and violence." and some em-1 ployers who prefer "government by I a privileged class Instead of by ma- j Jorlty rule." j Mr. Roosevelt added the "over whelming majority" of workers and employers were cooperating in the share work drive. But .he linked the few - recalcitrants to kicking horses that would have to be lassoed and "put in a corral." The executive ssld President Wil liam Green and his associates in the federation were "working with my administration toward the attain ment of our national purposes." In a speech after the president had finished. Green pledged the cooper ation of the federation to the gov ernment and said It waa no exagger ation to say that mnny of Gompers' Ideas "are embodied in principle in Vie National Recovery Act." He added: "The principles of collective bar gaining, of co-operation. Increased purchasing pdwer through high wages, the limitation of the hours of employment suitable to the man ufacturing and economic needs of Industry, though regarded as revolu tionary when first proclaimed dur ing the early period of Mr. Gompers' career, are now accepted as a fixed part of our governmental policies." - WASHINGTON.

A cop, homeward bound to his' own colleens, came charging onto the bridge, his auto siren screaming. He waited until Madeline was safely in the arms of her mother on the front seat of the sedan, then he wormed an escort through the traffic and hurried the trio to a hospital. There doctors said everything was all right. Theresa was quite calm about It all. Nicholas swaggered Just bit and talked a heap, Madeline had a bath.
