THE ORACLE TIPPING OVER OF WORLD > Fanaties have made any predictions that the world would end’ on this or that date, and some of them, when what they had said turned out to be wrong, extended the dates when the end of the world would occur. Now comes a 70-year-old Long Island engineer who asserts that ft won't be long before the world will tip over because of the contiual growths of ice caps in the Aretie and Antartic. He points out that the ice in the An- tattic is 5,000 feet above sea -level and is steadily increasing its height.Supposing it is, of what consequence will it be regarding the equilibrum of the world? The iee caps at both polls are small compared to some of the ice caps during the Glacia) Period or Ice Age, At times ice covered all of Europe and Russia and al- most all of Asia and spread over the great- er part of what now isthe United States. lee, capping mountain chains, such as the Rockies, descended into the valleys, ‘cut- “Stipe the existing ones deeper and forming Jey valleys. The face of the earth in those days supported enormous peaks of ice in Meany areas, but the world continued to rotate on its axis, slowing down a fifth of “weeeond each century, as it is today, \and +erevolve at its regular rate around the @aThe earth went through four Glacial Petiod» eZThe engineer maintains that some day NTE likely to wake up and find either the North or South Pole in his back yard. Many millions, he asserts, will be drowned, om other millions frozen to death. The drownings will result from the ice caps melting under tropic sunrays. That fifth of a second lost by the world each century in its rotation is what eventually will bring it toan efd many millions of years hence, assuming that it is nut, destroyed by the impuct of some othen heavenly body. Days are continuing to get longer, because of the continual slowing wp in the rotation, until they will bea year long, with one-half of the world freezing and the other half burning up. > . However, Key Westers have no need fo be perturbed, regarding the tipping ower of the world, as the engineer claims wit! happen, for there is no danger trom that source. And Key Westers need not worry about the eventual death of the world, so far as any kind of life on it ig «onéerned, for that time is many millions of Years away. : THE KEY CAN LOWER TARIFFS SAVE MONEY | FAT CHANCE FOR-A GARDEN!

The business men of other nations, however, cannot purch: goods in the United States with their do- mestic currencies but must have Ameri- can dollars available for payment of their American accounts. The only way these dollars can be secured is through borrow- ing, through gifts or the sale of goods and services to the people of this country. The question that arises is why do not the business men of other countries sell their goods and services to the people of the United States and thus get the dollars that they need to purchase goods from this country? The answer is the tariff policy of the United States. For many years, the United States maintained the highest protective tariff in its history and one of the highest ever imposed by any nation.
