Road projects under way in 1921 amounted to ‘nearly 65,000 miles — about 11 times across the continent and back. During the year Uncle Sam and the states built 11,930 miles of federal-aid highways. We are developing a great civilization here in America, for road building is in all centuries the meagure of progress. The speed with which, compared with former civilizations, we have flung a network of good roads through our wilderness and mountains and across our plains, is little short of amazing. The first state road-building program was started only 101 years ago in Kentucky, when Abraham Lincoln was a boy of 12. Traffic-on-wheels originated in China and Egypt, where carts were first invented. Those first carts moved on wheels and axles carved out of one solid piece cf stone. It took cen- turies for man to conceive of the axle being sep- arate from the wheels. ; The old Romans, master road builders, had 29 paved highways out.of Rome. Over pavements of bricks and mineral cement they drove. their lumbering chariots with iron-rimmed wheels. * Joy-riders of those days lounged in reed-work baskets mounted on solid wheels about a foot thick. * Think of that when riding in a fiivver which seems bumpy. Man’s battle for good roads has been going on for thousands of years, ever since prehistoric man cleared a path through the jungles. It may be that the roads of the future will be in the air, with flying machines carrying passen- gers and freight. = That, however, is bound to be a long way off. It is good to dream about. But, meantime, let’s; keep our feet on the ground and get behind the good-roads movement stronger than ever. Pros- perity‘and recreation come slowly over bad roads. EXTINCTION Wild animal life will be totally extinct on the North American continent, and in Africa and Europe, within a few years. This prediction is heard on every hand at the annual meeting of the American Society of Mammalogists. Dr. Henry Fairfield Osborn, museum expert, says: “Nothing in the history of creation has paralleled the ravages of the fur and hide trade which, with the bone fertilizer trade, now threat- ens the entire vertebrate kingdom.” In three years, on our continent, trappers have killed 23,801,905 moles, 14,853,316 squirrels and 420,590 beavers. “Be kind to animals” seems to be limited to dogs, cats and horses. Man, the carnivorous hun- | ter, is a parasite. | CRAZES America has an epidemic of “radio flu,” says! Godfrey Isaacs, managing director of Marconi’s wireless company. | He thinks our radiophone boom is premature, | and that the equipment we are using will soon be! primitive. That may be. But the radio craze in our coun- try will develop the wireless industry 10 times as | fast as if it had been left to laboratory scientists and corporations. Why? Because the knee-pants amateurs, now experimenting with toy outfits, will produce a crop of super-inventors. Progress is regulated by the law of averages. It depends on the extent to which popular interest | is aroused. SECRECY Marconi succeeds in talking by wireless 100 will give to radio communication all the pri vacy of a private telephone line. Science is neglecting that side of wireless at present, and concentrating on broadcasting. It is a crafty piece of scientific salesmanship, to make the radio industry grow like asparagus. For that purpose, the less secrecy the better. Secrecy is the extreme opposite of advertising. MARS This month, Mars‘is again close to the earth. Marconi will resume his attempts to pick up a wireless message from the far-off red planet, about half the size of our earth. Vanity makes most. people believe that only earth is “inhabited,” that the stars are out in space merely as bright.specks of light for us to look at. Antares, in the constellation of Scorpio, is the| largest star so far picked up by astronomers’ tele- scopes. It is about 30,000,000,000 times as large as the earth. What is its purpose in the universe? It has one, be sure of that. A definite plan is be- hind everything in the material world. i TIME Locking at Antares, star so far away that it takes 150 years for its light to reach us at a speed of 186,300 miles a second, you see Antares as it existed in 1772. This is confusing. It jumbles the past into the present. - ai he wit Time is the greatest,mystery.., w The present once was the future, soon will be the past. Future.soon will be present, then past. Past once was the future; later the present. Time is an eternal, NOW. What we call past, present and future are merely delusions of our brains. That is why’ etérnal life beyond the grave, is a certainty. Einstein had, this, in, mind when he called time the fourth dimension: . SPACE With the airplane developing marvelous speed, and Marconi trying to pick up a wireless message from Mars, your imagination suggests that some day flying men will travel out among the stars, exploring all nooks and crannies of the great space in which our universe floats like an escaped toy balloon. That day will never come, though men may travel to the moon, planets and nearest stars out- side our solar system. To travel from one end of the universe to the other, an airplane would have to fly 186,300 miles a second for 1,000,000 years, according to latest guesses by astronomers. .No‘one can picture an “end” to the universe. If there is an.end, what lies beyond? Einstein says space (the universe) is curved, globular like a baseball. What’s outside the circuit limit? WIRELESS Our navy has perfected a radio-scrambling de- vice that “balls up” the enemy’s wireless service and puts it out of commission. The first set of the new befuddling instruments is being installed on a rigid naval airship, under construction at Lakehurst, N. J. Peace constructs. War destroys. It is the old and seemingly eternal story. s EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this. column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune. They are presented bere in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being discussed in the prese of the. day. GETTING AT PUBLIC OPINION Political diagnosticians have been very busy with primary results which have no meaning and|* seem ‘to have neglected others which may be quite pregnant with meaning. . It has been an early summer diversion to take the nomination of Bev- eridge for Senator. from Indana:and Pinchot. for governor of Pennsylvania’ and’ ring the’ changes both ways on their bearing upon the Harding ad- ministration. But these same politicians have kept their fingers very gingerly away from those certain primary results which may be taken to bear directly. on the subject of the bonus; and the reason is apparent. They have taken all kinds of trouble to assert and explain that the people want the bonus voted and itis no part of their; business now to admit they were wrong. In Pennsylvania six well known members of the House were defeated for renomination. A like fate befell two prominent members in Illinois. Every member of this octette was for the bonus on the ground that the service men demanded it and the people approved it. Scnator Pepper was renominated overwhelmingly in Pennsylvania, though he was against the bonus and said he could “conceive of no worse use for public money than to distribute it in doles to-young, healthy, self-respecting men merely because they dis- charged the duties of citizens of their age.” Beveridge could not have been nominated in In-; diana and Pepper in Pennsylvania and the eight; members of the House could not have been beaten! in the two states named if the service men and) THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE TUESDAY, JUNE ( ‘As one of the impo tof its book- ings for the cntire season, the Me¥ Lee and J, J.

For one hundred and forty-five years, “Old Glory” has stood, the werld over, as the emblem of the free. As the years have p ed, decade by decade, the sight of i folds has ever served as an_inspira- tion and a beacon light to those op- nressed where’er they ma been. In all forcign lands the Flag of this Nation is honored and respected; it is symbolical not cnly to fre of thought and action, but also of selfish devotion to the principles equality and liberty. The love andreverence which we, as citizens of the United States of Am- erica, feel for this symbol of our Na- tion has resulted in the dedication of one day each year on which we may pay homage to our Flag as the in- signia of the land where government of the people, by the people, finds its sion in all the world. ow Therefore, I) R.

When is a sight record of scientific value?” These questions are discusscd in the January number of The Auk by Mr. Grisccm of the American Museum of Natural History. He gives 4 list of {some fifteen birds which ne consid- ers praciically impossibl2 to identify jfor certain. These include female and immature birds of certain ducks, us, hawks, flycatchers and warb- To this list he adds soine twen- ty-five consjd2red very difficult. The rest of the seven hundred or more North Amer‘can birds are considered "e of iden tiication as. either S$ or young. A strictly sc.entific {dentification of |a bird would require the examinaton ef details of wngs, bill, fect, etc., whica could be made only w.th the |bird in the hand. But hundreds of people study birds who may nover Kill or capture a single one; and the orni.holcg.st who prepares specimens and studies them closely, usually makes notes on many t mes as many jas he collects. Thus a great part of Your knowledge of birds is built up. from thousands of observations which | lcame from jtlentifying the bird at a H nce, ‘Many b'rds are easily recognized, yet it is surprising how frequently some of thes: are misnamed. Mr. com rates lack of study as caus- ng 99 per cent of the mistakes which occur. Poss'bly no one who reads this note expects to become a ‘trainzd field orni-holegist,” but we are told that this ‘s necessary if the bird student wishes, to make observations of sci- entific . value. Further as a first qualification the student is asked to know. by -heart the list of birds of his Iceality, the season, abundance, and characteristic markings of each, Such advice is likely to be very dis- couraging to the beginner. Probably he dozs not have such a list, and to commit to memory the details of a list ef two hundred birds before be- ginning to make useful observations, suay seem impossible. But everyone can make progress in this direction and it is a useful suggestion. Re- ports of unusual birds or commoner lones at unusual times are always likely to bz rejected unless the ob- server can establ’sh his reliability and give reasons for his identifica- tions. With this installment these notes. will close for the season. They have been unusually successful in bringing together interested people and in starting a serjes of records which we year to year.

In addition to the won- derful acts and displays presented by the animals, that department offers a most complete study in zoology which is a valuable asset to the chil- dren’s schooling and adult’s know- ledge. Competent lecturers conduct person- al tourists through the animal depart- ment, giving the history of each and every specimen and their habits. A monster free attraction takes place on the show grounds preceding the open- ing of the doors for both the after- noon and evening _ performances. Every child visiting the afternoon performance will be given a free pony or ‘elephant ride. special attendants caring for the kiddies. c 6. 2 5 = 5 | With the Movies | $$ © CHAPLIN AT THE ELTINGE “Pay Day,” Charles Chaplin’s new- est comedy is being shown at the El- ‘tinge today and Wednesday. Chaplin appears in one of his in- imitable laborer roles, looking forward to pay day with the same enxious face with which an expectant parent waits for the doctor ‘to say: “It’s a boy.” His comedy carries the story at a swift pace from a huge construc- tion plant where a skyscraper is be- ing erected and finally to the haunts of the tenderloin where the workers hang out on pay day, and finally home to the wife. From each set the star obtains a maximum of fun at a mini- mum of apparent effort. “Pay Day” is two reels in length and with it will be shown the Gold- wyn picture, “The Poverty of Rich- es,” from the story of Leroy Scott. It has an appealing theme and is played by an exceptionally fine cast includ- ing Leatrice Joy, John Bowers, Louise Lovely, Richard Dix and others. CAPITOL, A delightfully human story, reptete with action and incident, was. shown at the Capitol theater, where Elaine Hammerstein, in her newest Selznick picture “Handcuffs or Kisses,” remain as the featured attraction for tonight. The role of Lois Walton ag portray- ed by Miss Hammerstein demands skil- ful interpretation of many dramatic moods.- The story carries an interest- ing romance through numerous dra- Matic complications and the action is Hntense-and cxciting at all times, Mildred Harris, whose thousands of admirers are still marvelling at ‘her brilliant work in “Fool’s Paradisé,” wins added laurels in “The First’ Wo- man,” a rapid-fire comedy with one of the most unusual surprise endings of the year. It is released by R.C 'Pic- ures and scheduled for exhibition at the Capitol theater tomorrow. “The First Woman” is a story of stage folk with all the glitter and glamor of the gay set that keeps life moving on Broadway. ‘NEW MINE WILL OPEN Zap, N. D., Jun? 6.—B. A. Pratt, representing Pratt Bros., of Minne- apol’s, spent several days here dur- ing the past week and with H. M. Graves thoroughly inspected and tested out the land on which the new company recently secured options. Investigation showed plenty of excel- lent lignite and work will begin as soon as mining equipment can be as- sembled. A mine will-be opened at the Sinerjus place and both stripping and underground mining will be used to get out the coal in large quanti- ties. A railroad spur will be built and modern mine machinery will be installed. HH. M.
