THINKING OF DINNER. DANTE’S MUDDY STAIRS. TURKS AND COYOTES, NO MORE BATHING BEAUTIES? | Near future. BY ARTHUR BRISBANE. (Copyright, 1926.) This is written on the Santa Fe, eastbound, through New Mexico. Not much to interest a man whose high ‘spots are the stock ticker, moving picture, soda water fountain, or the man to whom applies Dr, Johnson's ‘saying, “A man seldom thinks of anything more earnestly than of his| # dinner.” But the ranges on the right, as you go east, are endless, of unused lands, volling to ‘the South dotted with evergreen trees that show lack of the left are flat lands fenced in by a high wall of red rock waiting for water to develop its un- limited fertility.

Between you and the high red wall are only three living creatures. An Indian woman, with ‘bare head, walks in front, close behind her a +thin white horse, on the horse a fat male Indian with heavy so.abrero on his thick hair. " Asked when he, instead of his wife, wore that hat, he would say... “Hot sun, bad for my head.” ed why he and not his wife rode the horse, the would explain that squaws walk, und consider ‘his answer sufficient. ‘ That’s why in this land the white man tells the Indian where he: may live, what acres he may have, Children don’t amount~.to much when the father does not respect their mother. And children that amount to ittle must be the servants of others.

Atoms Rattle About in Space—Noise Is Broadcast By Radio Lawrence, Kan., May 21.—()-— Single atoms rattled about in space in a laboratory at the University of Kansas last night. Not only did these atoms make a noise audible to observers in the la- boratory, but the sound was caught by the Universities radio station PKU, and broadcast throughout the central west, together with an ex- planatory talk by Dr. H. P. Cady, as- sisted by John Strong, both: of the department of chemistry. The smallness of the atoms used —those from radio~active sub- stances-—was explained by Dr. Cady, who said if a single crystal of sugar were divided into a billion parts, and this billionth were again divided into a billion . parts, the fraction would still be 20 timex as large as the atom of helium used INDEED, YES Mrs. Browne—Our new m ust wonderful, He always ome the truth to you, ater is brings s.
