CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON i (Official City, State and County Newspaper) AN OPTIMIST AND A WILL ‘The wiil left by W. H. Latta, Indianapolis attorney who was killed the other day in an automobile accident, is at least unique. After making minor bequests, Latta directed that $50,000 be deposited in a bank and kept for 200 years. At the end of that time it will have grown to approximately $160,000,000, and is to be used to start a public library, found a university, establish a conservatory of music and benefit similar existing organizations. A man has to have more than ingenuity to make a will like that. He has to have a vast deal of faith—faith in the existing order, faith in the institutions his fellowmen have raised, faith in the continuance of peace, prosperity and the system of capitalism. ‘A whole lot can happen in 200 years. Our own nation has not yet lived that long. The city of Indianapolis, where Mr. Latta lived, will not be that old for many decades, Enough changes have come in the last century to make a man dizzy; the changes that the next two cen- turies bring may make Mr. Latta’s bequests look rather queer. For example: It is quite within the bounds of possi- bility that public libraries will be as out of date as stage coaches. With radio, television, moving pictures and such- like devices, it may be that people 200 years hence will néver have to stir out of their own homes to see, hear and read anything they want to. ‘The same applies to universities. Who knows what our educational system will be like 200 years from now? Isn't it, quite possible that universities, as they now exist, will have been replaced by something entirely different? And it is entirely too imaginative to suggest that the youth who wants to study music, in the year 2129, will simply “ture in” on his teacher, with radio and television, in his own ‘home—so that conservatories of music as we know them will be extinct? Those are only a few of the chances Mr. Latta’s be- quésts are taking. In 200 years we may—for all anyone now living knows—have passed beyond the realm of pri- . vate property. Banks may be non-existent. Big be- quests, by that time, may be confiscated by the state. Or—saddest of all to suggest—the bank that holds the £50,000 today may be out of existence 200 years from now. War, revolution, ill luck, sudden shifts in the nation’s economic trends—these unpredictable possibilities could very easily remove Mr. Latta’s swollen fortune to the land oi things that might have been. To be sure, it may all work out just as this attorney planned it. But 200 years is a long time—particularly in - “lew of the fact that the world is changing faster now than ever before in history. : THE FUTURE OF THE DIRIGIBLE ‘When you talk about the future of aviation, you gen- posed; and now comes OC. Durkam, botanist,. with an article in the current issue of The American Druggist, to say that goldenrod is almost entirely blameless. Extended tests, he says, have proved to him that 90 per cent of all hay fever is caused by the ripened pollen of the common ragweed—which, incidentally, ts grown on Practically every square mile of land, east of the Mississippi. Goldenrod’s pollen, says Mr. Durham, is too heavy and resinous to be carried on the wind. Consequently, it can- not be blamed by the hay fever sufferer for his troubles. A LESSON IN WORLD PEACE During the years since the World war, when the wisest national leaders in the world have looked eagerly for some way out of the menace of armed conflict, it has grown more and more evident that one of the most sig- nificant facts on earth is the 3000-mile undefended frontier between the United States and Canada. Here are two nations that have found out how to get along in peace. They have found out so well, and are so confident about it, that they have taken it for granted that nothing can ever make them go to war with each other; thu: chey leave their frontier unguarded, without @ soldier or a warship along its length. Now the English ar2 beginning to realize the signifi- cance of this fact. If Ramsay MacDonald and Herbert Hoover confer this summer on naval reduction, the Can- adian frontier will surely stand in the forefront of their cruversations. It shows what two nations can do if they try. It gives Britain ari the United States a mark to shoot at. A NEW ICE AGE? In case you haven't anything else to worry about, you can give a thought to some recent remarks by Donald MacMillan, arctic explorer, who suggests that the north- ern hemisphere may be right on the edge-of a new ice age. The ice ages of the past have sent solid sheets of ice down from the polar regions to blanket the land nearly as far south as the Ohio river. A repetition of this, ob- viously, would upset our national life considerably. MacMillan says that Eskimos in the northland have told him that huge glaciers now cover ‘valleys where, a few years ago, there were trees and flowers. Measure- ments, he says, have shown that some glaciers are mov- ing south at a speed of 50 feet a year—express train speed for a glacier. We are entitled to hope that this is all a false alarm. But—well, if you haven't anything else to worry about, you ought to be able to get something out of this. A DIRECT MOVE FOR PEACE Ramsay MacDonald's decision to come to the United States to talk with President Hoover about armament re- duction is one of the most refreshing things that has happened in the field of international relations in a long time. It is always inspiring to find the leader of a govern- ment willing to cut across the ties of red tape and go di- rectly to the heart of any problem in a new way. The British premier is doing precisely that—and he is, there- by, rendering the whole English-speaking world a service. During the last few years we have chanted incessantly that a war between England and the United States is “unthinkable,” but we have allowed ourselves to drift directly toward it. This meeting between Hoover and MacDonald should do more to stop that drift than a decade of ordinary state department negotiations. Every friend of peace will applaud the British prime minister's action. “China for the Cinese,” but which Chinese? Where they know least about evolution, they need th most of it. . Contentment is merely the victory of mind over what’s the matter. | Editorial Comment | ONLY TWO LEFT (Boston Transcript) Although 64 years have passed since Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox, a survivor of the Union forces 4 erally talk about airplanes. To most of us the dirigible, while fascinating to watch, docs not figure greatly. It se-™:s too clumsy, too fragile. B::t Commander C. E. Rosendehl of the U. S. navy, who runs the Lakehurst air station, believes that the dir- igible’s future is quite as bright as that of the plane. ‘The commander recently told graduates of Haverford College that in a few years huge dirigibles, six times the size of the present Los Angeles, will be making regular commercial trips over the Atlantic. They will carry hun- dreds of passengers in pericct safety, and huge quantities of freight, and will carry their own airplanes which they can laur.ch and pick up in mid-air. Most of us, probably, will hcpe thet he is right. The dirigible has a spell.all its own. The thought of a mighty flyi~z liner catches the imaginat:on; it gives a thrill that the quick soaring airplane cannot give. A WORD ABOUT YOUTH ‘You don't hear so much nowadays about “flaming youth” and its sins as you did a short time ago. In case you are still a bit worried about the erring younger gen- eration, however, you might \isten to these remarks from the Rev. Charles R. Brown, D. D., dean emreritus of the Yale divinity school; who has seen the new generation at close range for a number of years. “I have no sympathy whatever with this wholesale de- crying of the tendencies of youth,” says Dean Brown. “The young people are not everything that is great and grand and good, neither are they the last word in total depravity. They are mixed like the rest of us. The wheat and tares grow together in that soil which is warm and rich and fertile beyond measure, according to the i seed sown.” . “4 ‘That seems to us an excellent size-up of the situation. It is @ good antidote for the dolorous wails of some of the discouraged graybeards. : THE GAS TAX GOES UP ‘The motorists of the United States are paying heavier taxés now than ever before—and there isn't any fason for believing that their taxes.will not go still higher in wd near fyture.

Yet in some states the legislators have shown a Ws 1, took a bas gusctine tax os a0 aieeos ecail, and a survivor of the Confederate army still sit in con- gress—one in the senate and the other in the house of representatives. They are “Corporal” Francis Emory Warren, Massa- chusetts born and raised, who after the war took Horace Greeley's advice and went west to Wyoming, the state he now represents in the senate, and Maj. Charles M. Sted- man of North Carolina, representative in the house of the fifth congressional district of that state. Senator Warren is 85, Maj. Stedman 88. Together they stand like lonely sentinels marking the last of the thin- ning lines of blue and gray which have been gradually fading out with the passing of the years. They are the last of the legislator veterans who turned from the bit- terest struggle the country has ever known to molding out of chaos our present-day progress. LITTLE PIGS ke (Toledo Blade) Although city folks may be unaware of it, farmers know that uncouth mother pigs have a heedless, if not heart- less, way of trampling their offspring to death. The little pig mortality is interesting in town inasmuch as it is reflected in the price of pork chops and bacon. An inventor who had heard that the world beats a path to the door of the maker of the best mouse trap, therefore makes a better pig pen—a pig apartment house if you. please. wing partaken of natural nourishment, little pigs thus housed are attracted by whiffs of warm air and into their snug thermostatically heated nursery. The kindergartners are safer and much more comfortable, while parent pigs are left out in the cold. The inventor, whose contested right to a patent has just been upheld by the robed judges of a federal court of appeals in Iowa, says that the farmer who uses this patent pen can send sixteen little pigs to market where there were only six before. Which is farm relief much more practical than the ex- Port debenture plan. THE GOLDEN HIND (8t.

Would like to try the orange diet if I thought it would ben- efit me, but I am so very thin now that I am afraid to try it for fear of losing more weight. Would it help any to eliminate starches and sugars instead of taking the orange diet, or what would you advise?’ Answer—Do not be afraid of get- ting thinner on the orange juice fast, as it cannot hurt you in any way, but will surely bring rapid results in the cure of your catarrhal troubles.

The latter is the most common cause of red noses, and even our most sincere prohibitionists carry around a red shiny nose that in the old days, we used to think was acquired only by the “town drunkard.” (Copyright, 1929, by the Bell Syndi- » cate, Inc.) @ sluggish cir- where this does sometimes after and warm or Denver, Colo., where he has been vis- iting a son, and will settle up his business affairs. © Mrs. Mildred Allensworth has ag her guest, her sister, Mrs. Earl F, es Re ee ae Oe Jones of Barron, Wis.
