The authority on whose obser- vations they rely is Dr. G. Abbot, Smithsonian Instiution astrophysical expert. Abbot says the sun’s heat varies cyclically. He records these supposed changes. The government weather bureau considers them imag- inary, but the long distance forecasters believe in them. Earthly weather changes follow them, they argue, lag- ging, however, three years behind, while the earth is absorb- ing them. Taking Abbot’s solar record as a basis for their predictions, the forecasters arrive at practically identical conclusions. “Our weather,” says Browne, “is made for us three years in advance. It can be foreseen unerringly.” Professor H. H. Clayton, veteran meteorologist, formerly of the United States weather service, later forecaster for the Argentine government and now experimenting independ- ently in this country, indorse Browne’s views. The sun, after Having a cool spell, is warming up now, according to Abbot. “But,” says Clayton, “we must first experience the terres- trial reflection of the chilly period. And right now we're experiencing it.” AIR AGE IS REALLY HERE NOW The air age is here. When adventurers explore and scientists map the ends of the earth from the air, and the soberest business men in America put up ten millions of = théir own money for a night air service between New York and Chicago, the day has arrived. ~~ What last year we imagined, this year we shall = next year we will regard as commonplace. ~ In a few years, America will have nine-tenths of the air- - panes, as it already has of the automobiles of the world. * Phere will be air liners for the regular routes, air taxis for wherever you want to go, and private planes by the mil- lions. Never fear. If America peace must be defended in the air, we will have the planes to do it. Meantime, the weapons which we hope never to need for war will be of daily use in peace. e, and TOURISTS READY TO OPEN PURSES American tourists will spend this year over two million dollars just for passports, and over eight million more for foreign visas on those passports. Seventy millions is a low estimate of the summer’s bill for steamboat fares. Perhaps ten times that will be the total cost of American “touristing” abroad. The economic listing of all this money export ranks it as n “invisible import” of goods. It is as if Europe had sold us that amount in excess of what it bought of us. In fact, except that much of it is for services, and that delivery is made abroad, this is exactly what does happen. We simply buy of Europe, in this way, to balance against what we sell. That is why, in figuring international balances, the ex- port of money is reckoned as an invisible “import,” and its import as an “export.” PIONEERS Euopeans say America is unpleasant because it has no background. Their cities have each a thousand years of his- tory; ours are ancient if they have a hundred. Americans have always lived in the future. Our history is an ever-repeated story of the pushing back of frontiers, the overcoming of obstacles, the blazing of trails for future generations. Our lack of background is our pride. Under all the hurry, the noisy clatter and crash of our swiftly moving life, there is the shape of a lovely dream—the dream of what our coun- try may be some day. Let the dream stay, always, until America is in fact what the spread-eagle orator calls it—the finest, happiest, sanest place in the whole world. INTERNATIONAL LAW IS REAL LAW There are those who celebrate the three hundredth anni- versary of the great work in which Grotius laid the founda- tion of modern international law by pretending that there is no such law, and that there should therefore be no inter- national court to adjudicate it. Because the law of nations is not the same sort of a law as a book of city ordinances, and the world court is not the same sort of a court as a police court, it is argued that they are not a law and a court at all. As well say that a Jap- anese dweling is not a house because it has no walls, doors, windows, rooms or furniture. It is a different sort of a house, but still a house. TRAFFIC COPS Don’t show your teeth the next time a traffic cop says something harsh to you. If you feel unpleasant about it, think how he must feel! He has one of the most thankless jobs in the world. Some drivers, you know, really are dumb, and he has to cope with ’em by the dozen. Never a word of thanks; he can’t please anybody. The only time anyone speaks to him is to abuse him. The wonder is traffic cops aren't twice as crabbed as hey are. to appoint to positions of trust | {men who do not swear undaunied | allegiance to the league. not especially fit him for a place {at the pie counter.

Governor Sorlie knows that he will be held respons‘ble for any failures or delinquencies in his ad-| ministration and he is naturally trying to make it a success. He knows that there are real good men, ‘honest men, outside of the league. He knows that scamps and scoundreis and inferior abil | ties are to be found in all partie. He knows that such men are not entitled to recognition in his of-} ficial family and he serves the state of North Dakota best by keeping them out.

ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON THE CASTLE IN THE LAKE “What story would you like to hear first?” asked the Story Tellet Man, whose name was Mi O° Mi. “Do you know any stories about Princesses?” asked Nancy. “Or Prince?” asked Nick. Mi O° Mi sat down on a big cushion and all his bells jingled. “Why, yes,” he said. “I know a lot. But of course you know all about ‘Beauty and the Beast’ and ‘The Sleeping Princess’ and ‘Snow White’ and ‘The Frog Prince.’ So T'll have to tell you one that not so many people know about. Did you ever hear about ‘The Princess in tne Ivory Castle’?” Yo—oh, no! We cried the Twins. So Mi O° Mi began: “Once upon a time there was a prince who was very fond of fishing. Every day he went to a new place to fish and all his subjects were con- stantly on the lookout for new places Then they would send word to His Royal Highness and he would start out next day with | all sorts of rods and hooks and bait to try his luck, “One day he came to a beautiful blue lake between high mountains, that was so wonderfully beautiful the prince completely forgot what he came for. “‘Eureka!’ cried he. ‘Such beauty! I must have the court painter put this scene on canvas at once so that I may always have it near me!’ “And he looked at the sky, and the mountains, and then deep into the lake whose waters were like a mir- ror. “Suddenly he started,” went on Mi O’ Mi. “The prince saw something reflected in the clear depths before him that he had not noticed before. It was a castle, white as ivory, and set in a beautiful garden. Wander- ing in the garden was a princess more beautiful than any maiden he had ever seen.” “How did she get there?” asked Nancy. should love i} 1 Because a man swears allegiance | If the senators anil) TUESDAY, JUNE 2, 1925 | In, a Book. | Sasi OF GENESIS =) LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT TO RUTH BURKE, CON- T JED About an hour later we all went to our rooms and, although I was much excited about Zoe and the hap- penings of the day, I went to slee It could not have been more tl three-quarters of an hour afterward that I was awakened. At first I wasn’t sure whether I had dreamed Ja scream or whether it was reality. jI felt immediately, however, that | something was wrong. I pulled the electric light . cord} hanging over my bead, and, to my| horror, I found that there was no electricity. It wouldn't light, Then I knew something was wrong. As I. passed Jack's door on my way to the nursery, I called, “Jack, Jack, there's something wrong and the lights are out.” I found to my relief that every- thing was still and quiet in the nursery and I knew the babies were all right and fast asleep. I felt my way to Zoe's door which opens off of the nursery, and called her softly so as not to awake the babies, There was no answer. I felt my way to Zoe's bed, and running my hands over the pillows I found they had not been disturbed. Just then, Ruth, through the house reverberated the most terrible scream I have ever heard. It was quickly suppressed as though’ a hand had been put forcibly over it. I stumbled to the door that opens into penny Thi DARROW? AIT GIT’ MAK CORN HOED You Aut BETTAR NOT SAY MY FOLKS WAS FIFTY Bucks | It Pays to Advertis j LAW ENFORCEMENT ; By Chester H. Rowell The plan of the administration, according to Senator Watson, is to “enforce prohibition to the limit,” and then, if the people do not like it, “it will be up to them to have the law modified.” Senator Watson ought to be lawyer enough to know that | the second half of this proposition does not follow. So long as 13 states are satisfied with enforced prohibition, there is no way to “modify the law,” no matter how dissatisfied the rest of the people might be. There would still be only two things to do—keep on en- forcing the law, or fail to enforce it. Realization of the ab- solute unbudgeability of the law itself is the first step to- _ ward clear thinking on this subject. This does not mean that small ‘changes, which interest nobody, could not be made. A $300 fine could be changed to $200 or $400; a different bureau might be charged with the enforcement, or the alcoholic limit could be a half per cent by weight instead of by volume. -: The Tangle the hall. I was so frightened that for a moment or two I could not re- member where that door was. It was a horrible feeling. At last, however, I found it and to my surprise it was open. I caught my breath convulsively, and peered into the darkness. That hall with the well of the staircase was the blackest hole I have ever experienced. You can imagine my horror when coming up from the hall below I heard a scuffle and a blow as though something had come in forcible contact with the stair rail. I did not know whether it was com- ing up or going down. At that instant, someone who had been upstairs passed me and partly fell down the staircase with a rush. My throat was so constricted with fear that I could hardly call to Jack, who at this moment came stumbling out of his room calling me. “What is the matter, Leslie, dear? What is the matter?” he said as he flung his arm around me. “Something awful has down there.” He did not answer. Just started for the stairs. I clung to his arm which was around me, my other hand found the stair rail. Silently we went down step by step, I clinging to the rail. When we reached the bottom, my hand suddenly encountered some- happened (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.) “Listen,” said Mi O° Mi. “Quickly the prince looked behind him. All the mountains and trees and clouds were reflected in the lake, and so he supposed, the castle and the princess must also be a reflection. “But no castle and no princess could be seen anywhere. Nowhere but in the still depths of the water. ‘It must be a mirage!’ cried the prince. ‘Somewhere in the world I shall find this beautiful princess and the ivory castle. I shall start on my travels at once.’ “He forgot all about fishing from that day, and journeyed far and wide over the earth. Everywhere he went he inquired if anyone knew of an ivory castle. But no one knew, He visited all the castles he had ever heard of from China to the Land of the Setting Sun, but none in the least resembled the image he had seen in the lake. “Every river and lake and sea he explored. But the image never again appeared. For years he wandered, and then returned finally in despair to his own country. “The first place the prince sought was the blue lake in the mountains. “There as before was the ivory castle and the gardens and the prin- cess. This time she beckoned.” “What , happened then?” asked Nick. “The prince jumped into the water, sank, and finally came to the castle. It was a real castle—not an image at all as he had supposed. The prince had hunted all over the world for something that he found right near home. It shows how people try sometimes to make something very hard ,out of something that is easy and simple.” : (To Be Continued) ANOTHER BIG SHOW COMING HERE FRIDAY CANDY Many of us are inclined to think of the smaller settle- ments of Illinois in terms of arsenic, bootleg, and klan fights. ee give a thought to thou at each member of the Burtachi, retiring, presen ee i akira phen od lane co epereiion.

There is one to the exact contrary. So the thing, in law, is simply fin- ished. Strict or lax enforcement may make it harder or easier to get illeg- al liquor, but there can’ be no consti- tutional way to get legal liquor—in- cluding “beer and wine.” The thing is done. You may enforce the law or not enforce it; obey or disobey it. You can not change it. Whether a beer law (forget the “and wine") would’ be’ a good thing if we could get it may be tested in Ontario, Canada: The~ Ontario law is conservative enough on paper. There are 'to be no saloons, and the beer is to.be sold only in hotels, at the table. If the law works well, many Amer- icans will conclude that it would be a good thing to have it here. But remember this: No matter if it were a good law, and if most of the American people wanted it, there is no constitutional way to get it, so long as 13 states object. And more than 13 will object, fonger. than you live. Monarchist Reaction in U. S., Too Don't wonder that there is a mon- jarchist reaction in Germany. What is there here?

And in the states, a recent face- tious suggestion that some governor announce that he will sign whatever the legislature passes was rightly treated as a joke. The people de- mand that the governor usurp most of the legislative functions, and would repudiate any governor who failed to do so. We believe in executive autocracy, and see to it that we get it. We in- sist, to be sure, on its adhering to our historic forms. We would revolt against the mildest king, if even the suggestion of him were thinkable. But, under our forms, we want the substance of autocracy. Why blame the Germans, if some of them want it, under their forms? The Danger In Economy President Coolidge, working for economy in the: expenses of the na- tional government, urges state ad- ministrations to seek a like economy in their governments. It is good advice. But there is danger that it will be taken in the easiest way, which is not really economy, but extravagance. Real economy consists in getting more or better service for the same or less money. That means funda- méntal reconstruction of the whole state organization for raising, appro- priating and spending money. It takes study, courage, work, and— hardest of all—thinking, to do that. False economy is easier, and, for one election, it may get quite as many votes. It consist’ simply in spending less money this year. And the easiest way to do that is to stave off until next year, or until the next administration, expenditures that will have to be made some time, could be made cheaper and more usefully now than then. This is the principal item in many spectacular “economy” crusades. It is nearly always extravagant.
