The Harding administration, which came in on a protest against foreign entanglements, is getting us entangled in the Old World. is We are buying an empire, year by year. Buying it omy not for the people of the United States, but so t our millionaires make money out of it. Liberia in Africa now comes under American suzerainty. We shall contro! Liberia thru our control of her finances. Our colonies are Hawaii, the Virgin Islands, Porto Rico and the Philippines. We do not conceal our rule over them. We control Haiti, Santo Domingo and Panama, We dominate Nicaragua—to hold another canal route— ‘and have turned over her finances to American bankers. We intervene in the government of Cuba—dictate her internal legislation. Bolivia, the third country in size in South America, Ky carrier, olty has yielded control of her revenues to a commission of three, two of whom are Americans, and American bankers have just made her a loan of $24,000,000, And there are railway concessions, oil, mines and great richness there. To these items add that Paraguay and Peru have finan- cial advisers recommended by our department of state. Be a big brother to them? Yes. But we are now on every one of the five continents or their islands except Europe. We may lift a skeptical eyebrow when we hear admin- istration leaders like little Senator Lodge declaring against “foreign entanglements.” When it comes to doing our plain moral duty as the natural leader among nations, men of his calibre are ready to faint. But they are there with the bells on when they hear the call of the dollar, and the bugaboo of “foreign entanglements” melts away to a little less ‘than nothing.

What Makes an Indian? Why is an Indian? Two American hunters just back from the Cassiars, range of mountains that forms a fence between Columbia and Alaska, discovered a day out on march thru this region inhabited almost solely by wolves, mountain lions and caribou, that they had matches. Johnny Quash, aged 2, was thereupon sent back by Indian uncle, one of the guides, to buy a few boxes trail back after the party. The hunters proceeded a trackless country, up mountains and down, thru and muskeg and winding valleys. At midnight on the third day, Johnny, 12, hatless, and alone, walked into camp with the matches. daylight he started back for home, alone, Reckon that’s what makes an Indian. 4.

Note to the janitor: “You may fire when ready, Gridley.” A Bootlegger’s Bright Idea The “bootleggers’ curb market” in New York city, where hooch is dispensed in case lots or ship loads, moves from its old location on Mulberry Bend to somewhere in the vicinity of Broadway and West 40th. Rum sleuths are seeking the exact address. A bootlegger in a West Virginia oil town figured out a system that made it unnecessary for him to move for some time. When he sold a drink he made the customer buy two and sell one back. Then the customer auto- matically became a bootlegger, revenue officer or not. So he thought. The courts thought otherwise.

Einstein Upsets Ideas. Astronomers Interested || Various Orbits. Ever since {t became known that) the earth is round, and revolved about the sun, the human mind has asked the anxious question, “Will the earth ¢ fall into the sun?’ There has also always been the ap- prehension that some visitor would come plunging in from space and re arrange the present solar system in| & fashion which will eliminate man and all of his works. Mathematical studies made tn the) past have been reassuring, but the perennial miliennialiste are now more justified tn predicting doom than they were In the past, says Science News Bulletin. According to the new theory, if two bodies, a large and a small one, were present in space, instead of always moving tn ellipses and never coming tn contact, they would under certain conditions collide, and this would take place even If the sizes of the bodies were reduced until they were mere points. Likewise, almilar changes must be considered where more than two bodies are concerned, ns for instance our own group of the sun and planets, and collisions may take place. The paths along which such collisions occur are called captured orbits. In the case of the earth the veloc ity is too great for a captured orbit. If its present velocity were reduced to about 40 feet a second, the earth would move along a path passing thru*the center of the sun. This is 1-2500 of the present velocity. ‘This theory showing that collisions may occur has an important bearing on the subject of new stars, which now and then blaze forth in the sky. Their cause has always been a mys- tery, they occur far too frequently random collisions to which they would be limited by the older theortes. However, they appear tn the region of the milky way, @ region characterized by stars possessing low velocities, It also appears that the velocity | required to carry « body entirely out | of the solar system never to come back iggnot quite as great as for the} old theory. According to the old theory an object falling from a very remote distance in space would travel in a parabola, a form of curve which never crosses itself, while, according to the new theory one of the pos sible paths could cross itself and form a looped shape figure. Another peculiar orbit possible ac- cording to the new theory, is « spiral which winds {nwards like a clock spring and approaches as the final form of its patch a circle of definite radiue. Whether or not the Einstein theory of relativity ts in course of time dis proved, remains to be seen. It may be confessed that many astronomers would greet with sincere relief posl- tive evidence that It was all untrue. However, the theory has gained a formidable place in present acientific thought, and is being used to recon cle at the same time the features respecting the movements of heaven ly bodies and the vibrations of the electrons which go to make up the tiny atoms of matter, and the pe cullar and weird conceptions of mo- tion, time and space may actually represent the universe in which we live.
