Today .4 If arid Scandal. Foolish Politics. If hy the W Command ments? But Can You Enforce It? | By ARTHUR BRISBANE. '-/ The whole of England is excited, our newspapers reflect the excite ment, about a scandalous law suit. A divorced woman, forced in court to admit that she more or less mar ried a half dozen men and that her husband used her to get money from another man, now sues her former husband. He has married the widow of Carnarvon, whose money, inherited from a Rothschild, was used to dig up the tomb of Tutankhamen. Baskets of dirty line are aired in court, thf Carnarvon widow'weeps as she admits giving her second hand husband half a million dollars to “uphold his dignity.” “The crown may Intervene,” re voke divorce and leave the poor widow of Carnarvon, with the mil lions that came to her from one of the Rothschilds, to wonder just what she is. This scandal, upon which is con centrated the world’s attention, is of no more real importance than the conduct of two or three dogs in the gutter. But. 'the world eagerly reads every word of it. And that ^ is ns good a measure of our civiliza tion as you would care to have. Politicians say the president in tends to drop the old republican guard, seeking advice and co-opera tion in another direction. In the light of recent events that seems like a wise decision. A little while ago, while exultant republicans were kicking out of the party various members of the sen ate, legally elected, this column prophesied tljat they might live to regret it. Some of them regret it already. The republicans have what looks like a republican majority of six votes in the senate. But the de feat of Warren shows that kind of a majority to be dangerous, espe cially with the ablest men in the senate bitterly and justly resentful. Religious organizations. con vinced that public schools should include religious training in the daily routine, demand that the Ten Commandments be read to the chil dren at least once a week. Wouldn’t “The Sermon on the Mount’’ be better reading for chil dren than the Ten Commandments? In a general way every child of 10 knows the Ten CommaSidments, or as many as a child should under stand. Two or three commandments are fortunately not necessary to the child up bo lf>. Why not le^Ve religion to re ligious teachers, and keep the two separate, which has been the Amer ican plan this far. President Coolidge says the states should help the national gov ernment to enforce the dry law. So 'hey should, out of respect for constitution and law. But while the necessary 75 per cent of the states ratified the con stitutional amendment, nearly 100 per cent violate it, and their juries sympathize with the violators. ‘ The question for the president of the nation is this: How can the use of .whisky be stamped out? What is to be done to stop drunken ness and open drinking of bootleg whisky among school children? Prohibition seems to have put mil lions in this nation on a whisky drinking basis. What can be done about that? You read the old story about the artist who painted cherries “so real” that birds came and picked at them. , Now tne memoirs of Sir Quire Bancroft relate that John Sargent painted a portrait of a rich young American woman so intensely ac curate that when her physician saw it he at once detected in her the insanity of which she afterwards died in a madhouse. Artists undoubtedly see what is in visible to others. Whistler, told by a lady that she could not see the moon at all as he had painted it, re _ plied, “No, don’t you wish you could?” British inventors offer a bomb to destroy any airplane. It is built “to respond to the magnetic influ ence of the metal in the airplane.” The bomb would follow the air plane through the air, as you have een a little toy fish follow a mag net held in the hand of a child. If such bombs can be made to work they will be welcome. Rut more important news, upon which President Coolidge and Sec retary Wilbur are to be congratu luted, is the launching yesterday ol the biggest hydro-airplane eve) built here. It carries two engine; of 4o0-hor.sepower each and car travel more than .‘1,000 miles with out comfng down for fuel. Those thHt know the president say ho intends to build up airplane defense for the United States with out talking very much nbout it This big plane is a pleasing sign. Another use for the flying ma chine in war. Aviators high in air talking by radio to battleships firinj at a long-range target, tell the gun ners how to correct their aim. The flier in the air nees the tar get which is invisible from thi ship’s deck because of the ocean' curve. In Paris a young girl, 15, Irem Laurent, evidently of the Madam1 Curie type, has produced a nev fuel for* automobile engines. It i ^ from aiigar, .and is cheaper am more efficient than any substitub * for gasoline so far discovered. Tf events justify the predlctioi of Prof. Hairline that chemistry wil soon make suguar as cheap as saw dust, the gasoiiae problem may torn poraril.v be solved by "uga power.” (.Copyright. ltll-f The Daily Cross Word Puzzle v._ J Bj RICHARD H.
