To accomplish this, each letter is carried to the brain, sorted out; identified, relayed over the; nervegiito cles calle key. This complicated process occurs seven times a sevond ! 5 Thought is the fastest and most powerful force. Light, which travels 186,300 miles a second, is a snail beside thought. In a fraction of a second you can run one of your thought waves out to a star so far away that it takes light millions of ycars to travel from the star to our earth. Few people use this enormous power, thought, possessed by all except the mentally unbalanced. Hi ifingertips:and the necessary mus- tnt play't Pirie the right typewriter Watch a fast stenographer, pounding the keys so rapidly that her fingers receive nearly 200,000 tap-shocks a day without causing more than mild nervous fatigue. Apply those same taps to any other part of the body and insanity would speedily result. One of the most terrible of medieval tortures was allowing water to trickle slowly, drop by drop, on the forehead of a prisoner bound ‘to a bench. | Victim always went crazy. i The typist takes that same torture daily, many times over, becausé ‘shé works up to ‘it gradually inJearning,per trade. yy. ‘Behold there, the body’s marvelous: powers of adapting itself to new, conditions. Bi 58 It is this power of adjustment that enables me: to stand the sudden. changes. brought by lost fortunes. For a moment there is anguish, for days grief. Then, if the victim doesn’t lose heart and commit suicide, the body and ‘brain adjust themselves to the new situation... Things: go, on with the lapse of time and soon there is as much happiness as ever, expressed in a different way. When life gets monotonous and boresome, look about and examine the first thing that catches your eye. ; Everything in the world has, locked up in it, as intense an interest as the things you learn by watching the typist’s flying fingers. That’s what Horace Greeley meant when he id‘that a good reporter could write an interest- ing column about a cobblestone or a pin. + SOMETHING IN COMMON Max Oser— engaged to marry, Mathilde Mc- Cogipick, grand-daughter of John D. Rockefeller— has’sold his riding academy and livery stable in Switzerland. iat Max, itt geported, will arrive in America in April, te Bépresented to the Rockefellers and McCormicks. When he meets his prospective grandfather-in- law, talk will be interesting. John D. years ago ordered every Standard Oil teamsfer to weigh his horses once a, month and send the weight to Rockfeller headquarters, 26 Broadway, New York. Teamsters, never knowing when “the old man” might pick up the reports, saw the wisdom of keeping their horses in good condition. Rockefeller had two motives. One was kind- ness to animals. The other was psychology, without an uncanny knowledge of which John D. might still be a bookkeeper. . OIL DISCOVERIES John D. Rockefeller got into the oil business soon after Colonel E. L. Drake started the Amer- ican petroleum industry by bringing in his first well at Oil Creek, Pa. Before then, oil was collected by the Indian method, wrung out of blankets which soaked it up as it floated on streams. Standard Oil Company, seeking new oil deposits, has just finished a well 6,202 feet deep in Cali- fornia. That’s operating more than a mile under- jless enough to let them get that way is likely to! ground. Between the Indian blankets and the California well is a tremendous gap, bridged in 63 years by the lure of gold. , : well, in 1859. Thirty years. before that, an old well was drilled at Burkesville, Kentucky, and came in a “gusher.” But Drake really started the modern oil industry. Look him up in the encyclopedia. ‘ You will not find him mentioned, except incidentally in the article cn petroleum. ! The encyclopedia lists 10 Drakes—poets, sculp- tors, authors, lawyers, doctors, explorers. ‘ That’s one thing wrong with history and edu- cation—not enough attention to inventors and dis- coverers of the useful and necessary things of life. LUNGS OF A SMOKER The lungs of a heavy smoker, dissected after death, frequently are gray-black from tobacco |smoke. Spring air is invigorating these days. Breathe deeply. Fresh air is to the lungs what carrying out ashes and clinkers is to the furnace. Especi- Jally so'for smokers. . Take a deep breath—now. You'll notice you call into play the lower part of your lungs, gen- erally idle. Deep breathing by day and fresh air when you |sleep will move you years away on the undertak- jer’s list. SDITORIAL’ REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune. They are presented here in order that our readers may have both sides of importart issues which are being discussed in the press of the day. “MR: 'TOWNELY QUITS A. C. Townley, who not-only organized and led but to a very large extent was the Nonpartisan league of North Dakota and elsewhere, has an- nounced that the will resign as president at the ‘meeting of the Minnesota organization March 31. This, apparently, because the members in North Dakota pretty generally rejected his plan of using the strength of the league as a balance-of-power device to influence the existing parties rather than trying to, succeed as a party. Incidentally, this was pretty wise advice. The Anti-Saloon league put America dry by that method, and Tcwnleyism isn’t getting cn well as a party. It has failed to get control in other states, and it has lost control in North Dakota. | .With Townley out, what becomes of Townley- ism? For one thing, opponents of the movement who are fond of using epithets will have to get a new one. They. can’t call, it “Townleyism” any longer, with Townley’s idea repudiated and Town- ley no. longer its chief,..:..: . What was Townleyism, anyway? It was, in the first place,'a genera] discontent among farm- ers, based on. the conception: that because there is too long a route between producer and con- sumer and!;too many/Jeaks along, the .way, the producer wasn’t getting as much out of his: work as he ought to.get. “Given that, and a’ shrewd, forceful, plausible agitator with skill at working ‘upon such passions, it was’easy to organize an agrarian movement, and Townley did it. Ta movement got North Dakota, and. threstsned imany other states. It didn’t get Minnesota, but it bluffed Minnesota into soaking its mining in- dustry’ with a tonnage tax, and it forced Minne- sota to adopt a very comprehensive and promis- ing program of legislation for the farmer—a far more elaborate program than would have been possible without the fear of Townleyism to hurry it along. There have been agrarian movements before. What distinguished this one was the methods it ‘proposed. It proposed to put, the state in busi- ness so that the farmer would not be exploited by. private interests. .Tkhis.was frankly a form of state socialism—sticklers for sociological accuracy call it, rather state capitalism, and they may be right. .Anyway, the plan was to substitute the state for private capital in a number of fields; jand that scared the private interests then occu- jpying those fields; and many others who feared that if such a start were made their turn to be ousted might follow. It scared others besides |who, realizing that the state is as yet by no means {a good business man, feared disastrous results from experiments so sweeping. : ’ That was Townleyism. The movement, repudi- ating Townley and his advice with the result that he is quitting, will try to get. along on its own momentum. Probably it will not get far. Some, icf its leaders seem to lack the sincerity and unself- lishness ‘of Townley; for Townley seems to have been sincere and generally unselfish. If he was |greedy for anything, it was power. He does not jseem, to have sought financial profit, nor to have gained much of it. i | .Townleyism without Townley is going to be a {good deal like “Hamlet” without Hamlet. Prob- ably it won’t last long. anyway. : But before: it is forgotten there is a lesson in it. There never could have been any Townleyism if the farmers hadn’t had real grievances. If so- ciéty, by dealing justly with all its members, is wise enough to see that no class has a just griev- jance, it will be secure. If it is unwise enough to |if things get bad enough, a state of society care- ‘be overthrown, with consequent disasters to jeverybody, including the overthrowers. | The lesson of Townleyism, clearly, is that the |security of society can have no other foundation It was slipping jrapidly : \let a class— farmers or workers — acquire just | grievances, then it is going to be disturbed.

North America will strive. during the week beginning April 2. ( ‘They have dedicated the week of April 2, to 8 to the celebration of the century of friendship which has united the two great English speaking na- tions of the North American continent. This period: was selected because it was in April, 1818, that negotiations between the United States and Great Britain were finally completed for restricted armament upon the Great Lakes. The practical disarmament accom- plished typifies the fine relation be- tween the two countries since. 710 Clubs Co-Operate - Seven hundred and ten Kiwanis clubs in celebrating the week will re- ceive the co-operation of Chambers of Commerce, churches, schools and Boy Scout organizations in a weeklong ju- bilee. i The purpose of the gatherings will be to help Americans and Canadians to understand @ another’s ideals and. needs. apace bas eee American clubp_an Anje! ah speak- ers will addres§-Canadian clubs.

Now the poor Squeedillums are all tangled up in it and they can’t remember a thing*either., We ,can’t go away and leave . them this way. Look at poor little’ Mr>‘Jinks. He doesn’t even remember his own name.” “But if we touch the raveling we'll forget . everything; too,” said Nick, “just as we did in the,Sorcerer’s cave, and then we’ll never get to the end of our journey.” . . “What's that? What's’ that?” came another voice. And there stood the ugly little gnome called Crookabone. “Oh, sir,” begged Nancy, “please don’t work any of your bad magic. We've had 99. much trouble and we're On an important errand. Mr. Twelve Toes, the Sorcerer, has kept us back terribly and— “Tut!” -said Crookabone_ shortly. “I’m not bothering you. _I-don’t care a snap about your errand of about Twelve Toes or anything else just now. I've got affairs of my. own to at- tend to. “I was on my way to the Money Lender’s to pay him some money I borrowed when I heard someone talk- ing about a raveling from the Cloth of Dreams. “I’ve been looking for one for a hundred years, Where is it? Give it to me. I'll hand it to the Money Len- der instead of his money and he’l! for- get I owe it to him.” “But that isn’t honest,” protested cK. * “Honest! J should say-not. If it was I. wouldn’t do it,” said wicked Crookabone. “Gnomes are neither truthful nor honest. Oh, there it is,” spying the raveling. “It’s wrapped around those silly Squeedillums who don’t know anything.” Crookabone gave it a jerk and dis- appeared. 3 The Squeedillums were free. 4 (To Be Continued) Copyright, 1922, NEA Service) | African teak is the heaviest and | strongest wood known.
