T oday A Very Old Earth. Improving the Bible. The Crop of Fools. George Thanks Rocke feller. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE Nobody knows how old this earth <s, or how long it will^ast. Recent discoveries prove it older than scientists thought, probably by several hundred millions of years. The discovery of highly de veloped plant life in different coal deposits, according to Professor Noe, whose specialty is ancient botany, puts back the date of the earth’s beginning many millions of years. t This is encouraging, proving that the earth's real life, that of con scious human thought upon this planet, has hundreds of millions of years to go, and therefore plenty of time. We are only 12,000 years away from the stone age, 3,000 or 4,000 years away from universal can nibalism. We have done pretty well, considering. There will be great improvement, undoubtedly in the next 5,000,000 or 10,000,000 years, and possibly we’ll return to see it. The former kaiser is preparing a new edition of the Bible. Some texts he thinks ought to be changed, and “the whole of the Old Testament should have ne place in any Christian theological teachings.” Job and Isaiah are the twe most powerful books in the Bible. Noth ing can compare with them in beauty except the sermon on the mount. The wise thing would be to leave the Bible, the Rocky mountains and the ocean as they are, and select other things for revision and improvement. The crop of fools seems un limited and keeps growing. If it were not so, Wall street would find it necessary to clean up, sweep out some of the thieves and not wait until tins last minute to do it. There ought to be a stock ex change honestly managed, ef ficiently advertised, all the mem bers combined responsible for the obligations of each individual member and, therefore, watching each other. As it is, the row of faro banks in a western mining town is the nearest approach to a row of stock exchange houses. One blows up every little while, the others go on. The king and queen of England sat on red chairs, attended by physicians in scarlet gowns. A church choir sang, the Grenadier guards band in gold and scarlet played. The king thanked the Rocke feller family of America for giv ing $6,000,000 to a London college hospital. A while ago the Rockefellers were spending other millions fight ing disease in China. They are spending still more in Central America, in Africa, in New York, and elsewhere. Don’t imagine that they are “spending good American money on foreigners.” The foreigners also buy Standard Oil. And apart from that to fight disease in one part of the world is to increase human safety in all other parts of the world. The plague killed off by the Rockefeller money in China never finds its way to the United States. This nation is doubly rich, trebly and quadruply rich. There is wealth beyond any dream in the soil. There are billions of wealtji in the water and under the water. Other billions, in nitrogen, are in the air above us. Most fortunate of all, there is wealth incalculable in the ef ficiency of American labor. E. A. McCurdy, liberal member of parliament, wants to know “why it is that in America the man-for-man production of wealth in things that men and women want is two and one-half times as great as in England.” This M. P. also asks why Ameri can workmen gai two and one-half times the wages of British work men, and why mechanical power in the United States is twice that of England. It would take too long to answer the question; the main thing is the fact. If American capital and labor could co-operate intelligently, in stead of fighting and wasting op portunity in strikes, this country would soon be so far ahead of all others in producton and wealth as to leave competition and success ful attack forever behind. We can stand high wages and big profits, if we avoid industrial waste. An imitation of Mussolini’s “Fascismo” appears in Paris. Young "royalists” have begun us ing castor oil, walking sticks, ink, and other weapons of P'ascismo on F'rench radicals whose opinions they don’t like. However, the Mussolini theory that the people have had enough of liberty and that they crave "discipline and hierarchy,” as Mus solini puts it, will not go far in F'rance. The condition of the cotton crop is the best for this time of the year of any crop within three years. That’s good news for the south, also for the north. It shares in southern prosperity. The north should not grudge a fair price for cotton, but pay ft willingly. Too low a price will mean emigration and loss of southern labor, then n crop cut down and much higher prices. They will come too late to <po much good to anybody. (Copyright, l»JI/ New York Police Continue Drive on Dry Law Violators Cases Already on Calendar Tried by State Courts—New Offenders Turned Over to Federal Officials. New York, June 3.—Despite the re peal of the Mullan-Gage state prohi bition enforcement act made effective by Governor Smith's signature Friday night, police and state officials continued to arrest offenders of the dry laws and state courts proceeded with prosecutions of offenders arrest ed up until Friday night. The only apparent effect of the re peal was the transfer of prosecutions In cases of new offenders from the state to the federal cours. Predicted withdrawal from the enforcement ranks of the city and state authori tes, with consequent laxity in the en forcement of the federal dry laws, failed to materialize. Instead, Plice Commissioner En right announced that the police de partment would continue to enforce the Volstead act and District Attor neys Banton and Dodd declared their offices would continue to prosecute case already before them. While Mayor Hylan refused to dis cuss the situation, Commissioner En right declared that a conference would be held next week with legal repre sentatives of the city, state and na tion, to determine the best method of procedure. "In the meantime,” ho sad. “the poliae department must go back to the procedure followed under the Vblstead act before the Mullan-Gage law was enacted. At that time, po lice enforcement was more effective throughout the city than was possi ble on the part of the limited num ber of federal agents assigned here.” Dr. Connell to Testify in Heart Balm Suit (Continued From Page One.) nell arose when Brumbaugh called him a "shyster lawyer." The crowd so applauded that At torney George De Lacy Immediately asked Judge Wakeley for a continu ance of the case, declaring that It was prejudicial to the jury. The judge denied the continuance and announced that if another demonstration oc curred he would clear the courtroom. Brumbaugh became angry after he charged that Connell was Ignoring the court's decision on his objection to questions asked the plaintiff. Hot words flew from the mouth of Brum baugh when Connell charged the case was one of "blackmail.” Judge Wakeley sustained objections offered by Miss Johnstone's attorney when Connell questioned regarding her relations with E. B. Levy, New York attorney, and J. W. Campbell, eastern business man. After Brumbaugh called Connell a "shyster lawyer" Connell replied that the young attorney was a coward, a sneak and a bulldozer. Questioned About Ring. During her cross-examination, Miss Johnstone was questioned concerning a diamond ring given to her by Dr. Connell. “You made reference during your testimony to certain presents made you by Dr. Connell,” W. J. Connell reminded her. “One of them was a diamond ring. When did you get that?” "In June, 1918." "That would be 14 vears after you claim he first promised ‘ to man y you?" "Yes, sir." "Up to that time he gave you nothing?" "Yes, some tokens " "These things he gave you after years of service as his secretary?" "No. I got them from time to time." "Have you a ring on your Anger now T' "Yes. sir.” /You admired a pin the doctor wore. <J(d you not?” ' "No." “Well, didn't the stone In that pin resemble the stone he gave you?" "Yes.” "Didn't Dr. Connell tel! you he would try to get you another stone similar to the one In the pin because he had got it as a present’" "No." During the morning session, the courtroom was packed, the crowd In cluding a numerous representation of attorneys. Among the attorneya were W. D. McHugh, Jr.. election com mlsaioner; George Collins, Yale Hol land, Clarence Walsh. J. H. Gross man, John C. Wharton. Irving BUl master. Claudio Delitala, Vlggo Llnhy, Jay Leeka. Ray t’offey, J. C. Burton, Mac Baldrige, United States Commissioner Boehler, J. J. Friedman and Fred Wright.

Belmont's patent haa been dls covered, numbered 174,780, In the archive* of (he French patent reg istry office, dated October 23. 188&. Daimler died a millionaire, having known how to profit from hla I riven lion.

In the following installment of her life story, Clara Phillips tells of her arrest In Honduras w-lth her sister, Ktta Mae, and Jess Carsen and of their experience* while In custody. She tells of scores of Ioto notes tossed in her cell: offers nf aid. and opportunities to trade hey honor for her freedom. By CLARA PHILLIPS. By Universal Service. The minister then asked ‘‘Which is Mrs. R. M. Young?" Carsen pointed to my sister. Carsen had told her to take this name, as he had gotten her Guatemalan passport under the name of Young. The minister then asked me what size shoe I wore. I told him "Two and a half." He asked me to take ofT my hat so that he could get a good profile view of me.- He looked at my teeth and also examined my hair. The minister said he had advices that Carsen was wanted In the United States for arson- Carsen denied this, but he was told to put on his hat and go to the penitentiary. At first It was planned that all three of us should go to the peniten tiary. Chief Retes. however, arranged for a room next to the office of the chief of police, which overlooks the city jail of Tegucigalpa, and my sis ter and I were allowed to go there. A bed was sent up and also all of our meals were brought in from the Amt-os Mundos hotel. Sister Is Brave. Of course I did not admit that I was Clara Phillips. The Mist night in the Tegucigalpa jail mad* me Teel far wrorse than I felt the first night I was taken to the Los Angeles county Jail. The rea son was Etta Mae, but poor little soul, she was awfully brave and very consoling to me. We had books and would read. We also did some sew ing. We also looked out of the window from the little balcony, which could very well resemble the one In the play of Romeo and Juliet. It was from here that so many natives made love to us, showered their smiles upon us. threw kisses at us and of fered to take us away to freedom if we wished. From the very first we. took a dis like to Chief of Police Retes. He also took a dislike to us. He was our only ratlve enemy, but we reciprocated in kind and did everything we could to embarrass him. When we wanted something that he would not do or get for us, we went to higherups. That was why the chief could not ! force us to have our pictures taken or measurements made. Received Many Visitors. At the very outset w# received the most prominent and influential persons of Honduras as visitors. Every day they came in numbers. Our vis itors were permitted to call, usually by a ppolntment. In the afternoon We sent word to the chief that ,we did not care to see anyone In the morn ing. He also wanted u» to get up at 7 In the morning and have breakfast. We told him that was too early and requesed him to send us our break fast at 9. On some days we had break fast in bed. We knew that higher of ficlals wer for us, so we did these things Just to aggravate the chief. Dozens of notes were thrown Into the window at us. These Included requests for appointments, well wishes, plots for escape and every thing Imaginable. One day 1 noticed a little light play ing on the ceiling of the room. I went to the window and there I say a boy flashing a mirror to attract my atten tion. He threw a note up to me. The note was from a map, stating: *'I am at your service. All you need to do is to call on me. It makes my heart ache to see you looking out of that window so wistfully. Let me help you." Refused to Esrape. The boy was acting as a messenger for a man of about 33. He was a very nice native. The whole purpose of the notes was to obtain Informa tion as to whether I would escape. This man said, in one of the notes, that he would flash a light at night in the distance. If I cared to go I was to leave my room dark. Every thing would be arranged, he declared. He had fixed matters for me to pass the guards on duty. If I did not care to go he Instructed me to strike a match. I did this that night after I saw his signal. I did not car# to go. The Intercep tion of on# of these notes resulted in the arrest of IS boys, who were later freed. Another handsome looking man brought me some rope stuck in his trousers under his coat. He waa one of two visitors who frequently called. Offered Freedom For Honor. Several prominent officials also called. They offered me my freedom in exchange for my honor. If I would be willing to establish a home there, they said, I could have been liberated at any time, despite all the efforts to hold me. The most vigorous man connected with our detention was Chief Rete*. Despite his orders we had things pret ty much our way around the police station. We used the telephone when ever we wished and we had newgpa per* to read. We played ball on the inner court of the police station. Time went fast in Tegucigalpa despite our confinement. You can imagine our great inter est In all persons coming to the sta tion. We watched every one. On# day, in the early part of May. Ktta Mae spied someone she thought was from I-os Angeles. She called me to the window. It was Mr. Lavine of the Los Angeles Kxaminer. (Copyright. 1922.
