S BILUON ELECTRIC HOURS
Dr. Abbott, of the Smithsonian
Institution, in 30 years’ study, dis
covers that the heat given off by
the sun varies greatly from day
to day and year to year. The re
markable thing is that, sending
it* rays through more than 90,-
000,000 miles of ether at absolute
sero, the sun has kept us warm
enough to live for at least
600,000 years. One cosmic freeze

Eillion times as big as our earth.
arwin spent thirty yean study

scientific philanthropy. A
tog called by Messrs. MerruL
jNetschhacker, Shoup, Crocker sad
Miller discussed plans for making
money useful to the community.
(These men are included in a group
of fourteen worth more than
$100,000,000, and determined to
use their money wisely for public
purposes, charity, science and
education. They are studying the
Rockefeller and other foundations,
each will give what he can give to
a central fund and they intend
that the money be used efficiently.
That is an improvement on the
ancient method, when each of the
fourteen would have led a selfish,
self-indulgent life, and then, sepa
rately, at the last minute, would
have given money as a bribe to
Providence in the hope of escap
ing hell and gaining paradise.
The best way to achieve that re
sult is to give to other men.
The Lord does not need money.
John J. Hanlon, of Chicago, teds
the national Government he in
tends to get married and wants
"any literature on the Govern
ment’s ideals about marriage, par
ticularly the size of the family the
Government wants one to have.”
The ideal family is as many
children as the MOTHER wants,
and can take care of, and every
mother should be allowed to de
cide for herself how many.
Some small families have done
wonders. Alexander the Great
had no brother or sister. Caruso,
on the other hand, was the nine
teenth child; Napoleon was one of
many.
The size of the family is the
mother’s business, not the Gov
ernment's business.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., wise
man, will not allow his children
• to have their pictures in news
papers. He doesn’t want them to
“feel important before they have
done anything worth while.” He
doesn’t even want his children to
know that they are very rich—
which also is very wise.
One of Mr. Rockefeller’s chil
dren, asked to contribute S6O to
some worthy purpose, imtH quftp
sincerely: “They must drink we
are Vanderhilta."
That innocent child doesn't
know that her father and grand
father could buy the whole Van
derbilt family every little while,
and not know the difference.
Sometimes Uncle Sam makes
money. The big sugar men of the
United States formed a “sugar
equalization board” to control
prices in the war. The Govern
ment put in $5,000,000, and yester
day received from that board,
which ceases to exist, a check for
$11,000,000, making a total of $41,-
0*60,000 profit for the Government
on its investment of $5,000,000.

total amount developed by all the

The Netherlands. Those twelve

THE responsibility of the local

enables the motorist to avoid
excessive operating costs and

This house not only sells a car it
