RECORDS BY DIRIGIBLE AND SEAPLANES The navy dirigible Shenandoah is back home safely after a cruise of 9000 miles. It crossed the continent and went up and down the Pacific coast. It is noteworthy that the first dirigible to accomplish this feat was made and equipped in America and was manned by Americans. The Shenandoah came across the continent more rapidly than the swiftest express train—counting actual time traveled. This indicates the speed that can be attained, after the dirigible is developed. The great aircraft encountered heavy winds. It withstood the blasts. It tested itself for withstanding untoward atmospheric conditions. It stood the test successfully. Seaplanes of the United States Navy broke two world's records in notable performances. Records also were shattered in weight-carrying tests. This country is making fine advancement in aeronautic development. The epochal flight of American aviators around the world; the spectacular trip of the Shenandoah across the continent; and the coming of the giant dirigible ZLR-3 across the Atlantic, together with the general realization that this country needs to strengthen its air defenses—all these things are tending to stimulate development in the air. Then there is the stimulous of possibilities of commercial development in aircraft. Warfare will end by ending the feelings and actions among individuals which provoke war. CHARACTER DEVELOPS IN ADVERSITY Adversity seasons character. Nothing is more calculated to make character weak and flabby than easy, luxurious living. The greatest characters of all time have been developed through hardship, travall, adversity. Genius has come from the garret and the crust of bread; from many failures and from lack of appreciation. The great men of today are self-made men, almost without exception—men who have struggled against adverse conditions and by sheer courage and ability have triumphed. The biographies of self-made men in this country would make many huge volumes. There is no easy road to substantial achievement in life—to the development of rugged character. To use the old figure of speech, smooth seas do not make good, seasoned sailors. Men and women who are worth while—who have hardihood of character; who shine for integrity and whose energies put them in the forefront, in the community are strugglers who have fought the good fight against untoward circumstances. It is inspiring to know that the poor boy and the poor girl in this country have the doors of opportunity opened to them. The making of their careers lies with them. To succeed, they must strive, overcome hardships and obstacles and fight courageously to win their way. But the fighting, honorable spirit, coupled with honesty and persistence, win out in the end. The American jury system is sadly in need of reform. "Where ignorance is bliss," don't be too hasty in getting wise.

ABE MARTIN WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS PRINCE PAUL Prince Paul of Serbia, who is about to be appointed "Ban" or viceroy of Croatia as part and parcel of Serbia's new policy of decentralization, is not the son of King Alexander, but his first cousin, and next in line to the 12 months old Crown Prince Peter, in the line of succession to the Serbian throne. He is very rich through his Russian mother, who was one of the wealthiest members of the great Russian house of Demidoff and, thanks to her relatives, was brought up entirely in England, is a graduate of Oxford and is one of the most popular continental royalties in the English great world. He served with distinction throughout the great war, and when it was over returned to Oxford to get the finishing touches of his course there, and is married to Princess Oliga of Greece, the pretty daughter of Prince Nicholas of Greece and of his fascinating Russian wife, who was the Grand Duchess Holene Vladimirovna. It may be remembered that the Duke of York acted as Prince Paul's best man at the wedding at Belgrade a year ago, when the widowed Queen Sophia of Greece suddenly appeared uninvited upon the scene, where her presence led to the premature departure of some of the royal guests and to savage attacks upon her as unwelcome in all the various organs of the Serbian press. Prince and Princess Paul have spent the greater part of the past summer at the English royal palace known as the White Lodge, in Richmond Park, which had been lent to them by the Duke and Duchess of York, and it was there that their little boy was born some weeks ago, the christening being attended by the infant's great-grandmother, the octogenarian ex-Queen Olga of Greece. It is understood that, when the new policy of decentralization of the kingdom of Jugo-Slavia has been completed by Premier Davidovite, Prince Paul and his con- "RED MIXTURE" Clears Away Wreck Caused Common Laxation At last!

Health and Diet Advice By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" EVOLUTION OF DIET (Continued) It is advisable to use at some time or other during the day all of the elements which the body requires, but it is most assuredly not possible to do this at each meal without producing inharmonious combinations which will cause fermentation and lead to auto-toxemia, even though the best foods are used. Most everyone is familiar with the composition of water; that it is made up of two parts of hydrogen and one part of oxygen gas. Hydrogen gas is highly explosive and was used during the war in certain kinds of explosive shells. Oxygen is necessary to support combustion, so that nothing can burn unless oxygen gas is present. However, when twice as much hydrogen gas is added to oxygen gas, it produces a liquid which we call water, and which will extinguish fire altogether. We all know that prescriptions of medicine must be compounded with exactness, and that the slightest deviation in the nature of adding some incompatible substance might result in the most serious consequence. This is none the less true when the study of food substances is considered from the standpoint of physiological chemistry. It is, therefore, of the utmost importance that we should learn how to proportion and combine our food properly so that proper eating becomes a fixed habit. (To be continued.) MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1924 COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying THE CONVIENT PISTOL—San Bernardino Sun "The criminal situation in the United States, so far as crimes of violence are concerned, is worse than that of any other civilized country." This is the indictment brought by the law enforcement committee of the American Bar Association after its searching investigation of crime and its causes. It estimates there have been at least 85,000 homicides in the United States in the last ten years. All sorts of theories have been advanced to account for the widespread lawlessness, but the committee directly attacks the problem of preventing crimes of violence by recommending a curb on the present ease with which deadly weapons may be procured. It has found that 90 per cent of the murders are committed with pistols. It is surely an anomalous situation when the sale of fireworks is prohibited in many states and restricted in practically all, while deadly weapons can be bought by anyone in most states, who has the price. In urging legislative regulation of the sale of firearms the Bar Association does not make the mistake of supposing that the states by themselves can bring about the desired reform. Judging from the daily reports of the gunmen's activities New York has not been particularly successful with its law designed to curb the evil Its practical working has been to allow criminals to arm themselves while preventing respectable citizens from taking measures for their own protection. It should be made at least as difficult for anyone to buy a pistol as to purchase poison. Distasteful as is the prospect to many persons of the extension of federal powers, and the decline of state authority, it seems that eventually Congress will have to take up this matter of firearms regulation in the interests of the general public safety. GLEANINGS FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE DUELLING—SELF-DEFENSE It has a strange, quick jar upon the ear, That cocking of a pistol, when you know A moment more will bring the sight to bear Upon your person, twelve yards off or so. Byron (Don Juan.) Thomas Carlyle looked upon duelling as one of the sincerities of human life, which bursts through the thickest-quilted formulas; and in Norse-pagan, in Christian, New-Christian, and all manner of ages, will, one way or the other, contrive to show itself. A background of wrath, which can be stirred-up to the murderous infernal pitch, does lie in every man, in every creature; this is a fact which cannot be contradicted. Carlyle believed. He saw in the fact but another phase of the more general fact, that every one of us is a self, that everyone of us calls himself. "Laymen must do the largest work in establishing the kingdom of God and making sympathy, justice and goodwill dominant in human society. Business must establish the kingdom in business. Only business men can do it, for the cross must be set up in business; the kingdom cannot be established without sacrifice." The United States owns nearly half the world's sail tonnage. In her childhood Queen Victoria was the owner of 132 dolls. "RED MIXTURE" Clears Away the Wreck Caused by Common Laxatives At last! A Tonic Laxative that will undo the evil work of habit-forming purgatives and cathartics. "RED MIXTURE," used in hospitals for 20 years, cleanses the intestines without gripping or irritation and without disturbing the proper functioning of glandular secretions. This Tonic Laxative strengthens while giving relief; leaves the system free of toxins and in normal, healthy condition, able to function without further laxatives. Habit-forming results are thus avoided. Excellent for expectant mothers and infants. "RED MIXTURE" relieves gaseous stomach, headache, nervousness and general discomfort arising from faulty elimination in bowels, liver and kidneys. 75c and $1.50 bottles.

He saw in the fact but another phase of the more general fact, that every one of us is a self, that everyone of us calls himself I. In an essay on Duelling, Carlyle explains: "How can you be a self, and not have tendencies to defense! This background of wrath,—which surely ought to blaze out as seldom as possible, and then as nobly as possible—may be defined as no other than the general radical fire, in its least-elaborated shape, whereof Life itself is composed. Its least-elaborated shape, this flash of accursed murderous rage;—as the glance of mother's love, and all intermediate warmths and energies and generalities, are the same element better elaborated. Certainly the elaboration is an immense matter,—indeed is the whole matter. But the figure, moreover, under which your infernal element shall make its appearance, nobly or else ignobly, is very significant. From Indian tomahawks, from Irish shillelahs, from Arkansas bowie-knives, up to a deliberate Norse holmgang, to any civilized wager of battle, the distance is great." In the "London" of Dr. Samuel Johnson, there is a reference: Some fiery fop, with new commission vain.

Every Southwest investor should buy a share in the Santa Fe and thus get a valuable interest in an institution that helps build up that section. Let it be Yours, in ownership as well as in service. The Santa Fe operates in thirteen states and in these states there reside 7,635 of its stockholders. While this is almost the largest number on record, it is slightly below the year before. We should be very glad to see those residing along the Santa Fe Lines become much more generally interested in its stock, although both the common and preferred shares give a smaller return than many other investments promise. The high price is a deserved tribute to the property. Every investor in the Southwest might well buy one or more shares in the Santa Fe. At the beginning of this year, the ownership of the Santa Fe was divided among 67,118 stockholders with an average of 53.1 shares apiece. Twelve months before there were 64,643 stockholders, averaging 55.4 shares apiece. The number of stockholders has increased steadily for many years and the average holdings decreased, resulting in an ever-widening distribution of ownership. Among the stockholders are found: Women ... 30,370 Men ... 30,931 Since the organization of the present company in 1895 it has not failed in any year to earn its full interest, nor since dividends have been declared to earn them in full. The Preferred Stock dividends are limited to 5%. The first payment was made in 1898 at 1% and in 1900 full payments of 5% were begun and have been maintained for the ensuing 25 years without interruption. Common dividends were begun in 1901 at 3½% and have been maintained steadily since that date with gradual increases, 6% having been paid since 1909. For the railroads, as a whole, the records of the Interstate Commerce Commission show that at the close of 1923 there were 807,524 stockholders, or 30,392 more than the preceding year. The average dividends on the outstanding stock amounted to $4.03 per share. This joint enterprise of a great body of our citizens is open to all to participate in as stockholders. Why then should any favor government ownership and the certainty of supporting the railroads as taxpayers? W. B. STOREY, President The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway System
