r \ i Today Poor Guinea Pips. y. $2,500,000 and $60,000. / no Much Muscle Is Had. Modern Religion Wanted By ARTHUR BRISBANE, v--/ To prove that Mrs. Sheatsley did not crawl into her funace, shut the door after her and burn herself to death, they have burned live guinea pigs in that same furnace. Examination of the burned guinea pigs' lungs is supposed to prove for a future jury trial that the clergy man's wife had been killed before she was burned. If she was dead, when burned, she could not have crawled through a furnace door 14 inches square, to burn herself. The fact that her skull was broken in several places, before she was burned helps to weaken the interesting suicide theory. But, what about the guinea pigs, and justice to them. The spar rows, worth less than a farthing each, are all counted, and does any § one doubt that a guinea pig is as ’ important as a sparrow? How does the machinery of justice excuse burning those little guinea pigs alive? You could not call this a cheap country, but we do charge reason able prices for our citizpns. When a British official, the sirdar, was killed by an Egyptian mob, Eng land immediately collected $2,500, 000, which will help solace the mur dered man's family. When lmbrie. United States con sul, was murdered by a Persian ff* mob, this nation politely requested an allowance of $60,000. A British sirdar is more impressive, if you like, than a plain American consul. But is the difference equal to the difference between $60,000 and $2, 600,000? Don’t try to develop unnatural physical strength. In the first place it is bad for the health. In the second place, vitality use£. up by overdeveloped muscles is taken from the brain, which is more im portant in modern days than mus cle. Frederick H. Beasley of marvel ous muscular force, could lift 20 men. A dispatch from Toronto tells of his death, only 28 years old. He had written a book, “Why Athletes Die Young,” and then added one to the number of warn ings. A human body has just so much d vitality, no more. It can be turned in any direction you please, made to build useless, heavy muscle, or used in mental and nerve force. Too much muscular effort deprives vital organs of the strength they need, and the overdeveloped ath lete dies young. We exercise to cause deep breathing, getting the residual air out of the lungs, to perspire, to make the millions of pores do their share of the work and to keep the body free from stiffness. Beyond that exercise, for a ma ^, ture man, is wasted. Much more than that is dangerous. Tl.e P.ev. Dr. Fosdick says the people need an up-to-date faith. •Some of them do, but many prefer the most old-fashioned religion. For millions, nothing can take the place of David and Goliath, the fig tree that withered when it was re buked, or that “great fish,” whale or what you please, throwing donah up on the beach. There are two kinds of religious craving. One kind wants some thing mysterious, even something of which it can say, “I believe it, because it is impossible.” The other sort of mind demands Jk a religion that adapts itself to the discovery that the earth is round, not square, with the “four angels standing at the four comers of the earth.” Why not gratify both cravings, old-fashioned and new-fashioned, without fighting about it? The kind of religion a man wants is the kind that makes him a better man. Let him have it. Russian bonds, sold to American financiers with infantile brains, are now worth nothing. This column used to warn Americans against buying such trash. Are you buying Europe’s bonds now? If 'so, do you expect to get your money back, usurious inter est, and principal? You probably won’t get it. ^ And write this on your tablets— ^ the bankers that peddle these bonds to you are not buying them, to keep. They take the bonds, hand them to you, and keep only their rakeoff? Why should the bonds not be paid? t Why is Europe demanding a re duction of two-thirds on money lent by this government? “Be cause of the unusual circumstances of the loans.” Americaiys are getting Europe's bonds, paying 7 per cent interest, sold at 94 cents on the dollar. That 1 i T — ■■■■■'*■ -.■■■■■■-..—-— — « means 13 per cent interest the first year. And that is the kind of usury that ought to put the lender in jail. He won't go to jail, but hp'll pay the milder and well established penalty. He won't get his money back. Usury will be the “unusual cir cumstances” to be pleaded a little later. Today's bond buyers will be told: “First, we'll deduct that 13 per cent, you made us pay the first year. That will make the bonds worth 87. Then as we’re entitled !o credit at 3 Vi per cent, we de duct from your claim one-half the 7 per cent paid you, plus com pound interest. That does not leave much.” - Yesterday Mrs. Coolidge chris tened the ZR-3, changing the great airboat’s name to Los Angeles. In years to come Los Angeles, with 15,000,000 to 20,000,000 of population, will keep a model of ZR-3 in some museum. And chil dren will see “the tiny little flying machine that used to be called big.” Flying ships will be built big enough to carry ZR-3 as part of the equipment. Thanks to the Mellon-Coolidge economy program, the cost of gov ernment will be cut below $1,800, 000,000 for next year. ’. That would seem high to those that once protested against a gov ernment spending one billion in two years. But the war has changed all that. Such reductions as the president and Secretary Mellon have accom plished seem almost miraculous as compared with the merry outpour ing in the democratic days, follow ing the war. <(*opyrl*ht. 1924.)
