Sir Adam Beck, whose reputation as an engineer is world wide, answers these alle- gations in a manner to satisfy public own- ership advocates. But that should not b the end of the matter. If, as he intimates, there was ulterior motive behind this publication at this peculiar time—of the Smithsonian pamphlet, the fact should be disclosed. powe i been are akes to prov at consur cost, cial some Homesickness? OOKOOSH, 6-months-old Eskimo pup- py, died the other day in New York. Veterinary called it heartbreak, resulting from homesickness. A man started a frog ranch near Raj mondsville, Texas, using 50 pairs of gi Louisiana “leopard” frogs as breeders. Soon he had 10,000. Returning home one night, he says he found the road alive with frogs all jump- ing one way—-toward Louisiana, Home- sickness, he says. Plenty of evidence has been offered from time to time to indicate that ani- mals sometimes do suffer from nostalgia. However, you feel sure that Kookoosh suffered more from improper diet and change of climate than a languishing for familiar scenery. As for the frogs—boy, page Ananias! Motors Grow T IS truly a world on wheels we live in. Last year new motor vehicles cost the world three and a third billion dollars. The department of commerce informs you that during the year there were as- similated 3,300 thousand passenger cars and trucks and 200,000 motorcycles. Av- erage price per car was $1,000, per mo- torcycle, $300. Twenty-five years ago the automobile was an experiment. Today there is one to every six persons—or nearly so. Twenty-five years more will see the airplane brought to perfection and uni- versal use, and the family garage will be incomplete without its aerial flivver.

In the evening some the elect Washington and their wives, the ter the gayest of gowns, usually repair to the inaugural ball, where the president wears out his good right arm, and his wife hers, shaking hands. ; All of which isn’t much fun for a retir- ing low like Calvin Coolidge, but it is peaches and cream to the merchants who have been waiting four rs to sell finery to the women. Likewise, the event is much appreciated by the hotels and restaurants and bus lines, and others who feel that the presi- dent of the United States should be in- stalled in office in a manner befitting the greatness of the nation You can see how it is. Likewise, you how it tickled the cockles of Mr. Coolidge’s heart when he was able to say to the managers of the inauguration cere- money for next March 4, in substance: “Gentlemen, I have been telling govern- ment employ they must save money. One place t money can be saved is in the inauguration ceremony.
