Three army men are on a flight around the world. Good luck go with them. Good courage goes sure ly. About the time they started a well-dressed man, unknown, jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City—another and very different “flight.” How far has he gone by this time? ■0 111 You have heard from the man that does’t want to pay income tax, the other man that hates the inheritance tax, all the complainers. What do you think of Wesley Jordan, seventy five years old, farmer, just dead at Lancatser, Ohio? His will, express ing graditude for happiness and liberty enjoyed under the Stars and Stripes, orders his executors to sell property for cash. After paying his funeral expenses, all the rest —about $16,000 —goes to the Treasury of the United States. The House of Representatives has approved the plan to let Henry Ford develope Muscle Shoals. People in the South are celebrating with bon fires. •Next comes action by the Senate. Every farmer in the United States is interested in the proposition. Sen ators, thinking they can afford to vote against it because “it is a long time before election,” will find that this particular thing will not be for gotten. The shirt that Napoleon wore when he died—-of ulcers in the stomach and bitter disappointment*— will be said at auction by the de scendants of Archambautl Napole on’s servant. With it will go a piece of his coffin and the glass from which he drank last. That trash isn’t worth a cert But who will write a book making it clear that Napoleon ruined his health and lost the energy for lack of which he dilly-dallied in Russia, and was beaten in Waterloo because he prid ed himself on eating too fast and sleeping only four hours. That book might be worth millions to some of America’s useful builders thac live as foolishly as Napoleon did. Salaries of post-office employers should be Increased. It costs them all more to live. It cost mail car riers much more to buy shoes. ork put upon all tmployees is greater. The physical load on the backs of letter carriers, with parcel post and all the rest of it, is dou bled. i You appreciate post-office workers so please wire to your Congressman and to your Senators, urging support of the bill to increase post-office salaries. Uncle Sam should set an example as a good employer, and pay the peo ple’s employees decent wages. Eventually every part of this would will talk to every other Dart through the air. The great question is will this planet be able to talk through the ether to other planets? Shall we learn from Mars, forty mil lion years older than the Earth, all that she has learned, as children learn from the fullgrown teachers? Let’s hope so. That will be a shotr cut to information. Imagine this, in a strange, inter planetary code: PlanetMa rs calling. Lecture for younger planets on simple method of releasing and harnessing pent-up forces of atomic construction. Judge Bartlett, in Philadelphia, decides that when grape juice fer ments, that is ‘‘an act of God,” and, of course, nobody can be punished for God’s own act. That’s an im portant decision if sustained. It means that you may squeeze the juice out of grapes,and when fer mentation produces alchol you may drink it and give it to- your friends. In other words, making wine is legal, since God and not man does the work.. Some higher court probably will alter that decision, which might make wine the national drink, in place of bootleg whisky.

Professor Kammerer, professor of biology—which means the science of life—in the University of Vienan, says that the problem is not to make the body live longer, but to make the brain remain young for a longer period. Therein Professor Kammerer spoke what the United States' calls a “mouthful.” A human being is use ful while the brain is young, before It sets like concrete and refuses to take new impressions. Once the mental concrete is set, the sooner the body goes back into the ground and the spirit is set free to start over again in a younger brain, the better. Not older bodies, but barins is what civilization needs. PICNIC PARTIES AMONG 80,000 CHARGED WITH BLUE LAW VIOLATION Jersey City, N.
