fT lint Their Heads Need.
Munsey's Three Forties.
7 he Ice Is Coming.
Lion and Faun.
^ By ARTHUR BRISBANE^
Look around. You will see
1,000 young mc.i, each with a new
straw hat. How many of those
young men have bought a new
book recently? Thirty buy a seri
ous book, perhaps, for a thousand
that buy a straw hat. The dear
little head must have a new hat.
It can get along without books.
Sir Arthur Keith, British scien
tist, back from studying gorillas
and gibbons in Africa, says the
brains of human beings are used
only to one-half capacity.
“Most of us have more brains
than we know what to do with.”
The neglected brain crop is the
greatest loss in modern civiliza
tion, but the straw hat crop is do
ing well.
Frank Munsey, who is to news
papers what Herod was to babies,
has bought the New York Globe.
If you love that little paper, trem
ble. Its days probably are num
bered. Sometimes Mr. Munsey
keeps a paper for a while, then
kills it.
Sometimes he builds a paper up
to gigantic successes. About the
Globe, he is uncertain. He may
kill it, combining it with the Eve
ning Sun; he may spare it for
awhile.
Just now he is saying "eeney
meeney miney mo” to decide its
fate.
Whether he makes a thing go
magnificently or slaughters it be
cause it refuses to go at all, Mun
sey defies criticism, for he is ahle
to toll his life history in six words:
“Forty years, forty failures, for
ty millions.”
He has worked the forty years
and more; he has had the forty
failures and more; he has got the
forty millions and more. The last
statement answers everything in
this land of the free.
A new glacial period is coming.
The MacMillan expedition in the
Arctic will measure the ice and
tell how fast it is creeping down
to spread over half the fertile
fields of Europe and the United
States, a deadly blanket of cold,
and drive us toward the equator.
You needn't hurry to sell your
real estate, like those who gave
heir land away in the year 1,000,
when they thought the world was
ending. That ice won’t come for
many a day. We'll all be beyond
the reach of cold, at least, before
it gets here.
But it is coming to repeat the
visits that have marked the
world's ancient days, with the
swinging of the Poles.
Some time, when men become
real rulers of this earth, they will
use the heat of the equator to
keep the ice in its place, and the
cold from the north to temper
equatorial heat. But this is still
beyond us. We’re onl^ squatters,
not earth conquerors.
Political strategists hope to
solve the perplexed political situ
ation by persuading Hiram John
son to run for republican vice
president, and Henry Ford, vice
president, democratic.
It's a nice program, You could
solve the problem of the jungle
if the lion would walk meekly be
hind the bleating fawn and the
black leopard peacefully follow the
little lamb. But those wild ani
mals don’t always follow the pro
gram you map out for them.
In Germany there is great re
vival of enthusiasm over Frederick
the Great. Voltaire, who lived
with Frederick at Potsdam, and
tried without success, to teach
Frederick to pronounce French
correctly, shares the honors with
the gr»at Prussian king.
Germans should look up the let
ter that Jean Jacques Rousseau
wrote to Frederick, who invited
him to come to Potsdam, at a
time when he was selecting all the
French celebrities.
Rousseau said in substance:
"You are inviting me to come
to Prussia to live in a palace, eat
your food and share your boun
ty. Are you sure there are no
poor people in your kingdom, that
lack bread and shelter? After you
have provided bread for all of
them it will be time enough to
invite me."
Voltaire wrote many witty let
ters to Frederick the Great when
they were friends and carved him
up cleverly when they became
enemies. But he never wrote him
as good a letter as Rousseau’s.
De Valera officially notifies the
army of the Irish republic that
the fight is over. They are beaten
and must give in. Aiken, the
army’s chief of staff, confirms the
news, and says, "we are beaten.”
This does not necessarily mean
peace. As long as there is one
dissatisfied Irishman, there is apt
to be one Irishman fighting The
announcement, however, will prob
ably mean for the free stHte a
chance to show what it can do.
That is what the great majority
of Irish men and women want.

j Field, Plan
Pla> rrs to Direct Moves from
j Captive Balloons Anchored
1.000 Feet Above
“Board.’’
Washington, May 29.—Chess played
on a chess board covering 61 acres,
with pieces the size of a house mount
ed on floats'
The playing of this gigantic game
will he but one of the features of
the gathering here in dune of the
Nohles of the Mystic Shrine.
The Shrine chess championship, ac
cording to an announcement just
made, is to be fought out over this
literal "battletield" and this is how
it will be done:
A board will be laid out on the
Ellipse, a circular park just south of
the White House, and into the Mall
as far as necessary, each of the 64
squares of which will be an acre in
size. The corners of each square
will be marked and If possible the side
lines as well.
i teces will orpin! a small house in
size and will be mounted on motor
driven floats. The opponents in the
huge match will direct the plays from
captive balloons run up to heights of
about 1.000 feet over the playing held, j
t he balloons will he in communication
'with the ground by radiophone and
motorcycle couriers will he sent out
from the central phone headquarters
to transmit directions for the move- '
ment of the floats.
Decision to hold this match cainf
as a result of an Intercity rheas crib
bage controversy with Stirling Kerr, j
secretary of the Scottish Kite bodies
In the district, champion chess, and
(lone Sk.nkle of Chicago, sponsoring
cribbage.
TauWts of Sklnkte that he would
play cribbage on a ten-acre lot. using j
telegraph poles as pegs, brought about I
Kerr’s chess decision.
Kerr, who regards chess as the no
blest of all sports, characterized crlh
bage as "an advanced stage of mum
bledy-peg, only you don’t pull the.
pegs with your teeth, and added:
“There have bpen chess games on
boards so large that human figures
were used to represent the chess men.
I recall one game played on a tennis
court, with the players on elevated
platforms. ai)d with men and women
costumed to represent the pieces.
"We will outdo all that. Our pieces j
will he as large as a small house and
will he mounted on floats. Of course,
we haven't got time or money to do j
the tiling as elaborately as it in ght
be done, but J’oii can rest assured that
If will be the world's 'biggest' chess
game."

Dairying Profitable
on Irrigated Areas
to Th# Omaha
Washington. May 29 — Dairying on
irrigation projects of the western
states is developing into an active Hnd
profitable industry. It was Indicated
hi the Department of the Interior to
day.
The large amount of nlfalfa hay
grown by the farmers in these reclaim
ed regions now represents about 40
per cent of the cropped area, accord
ing to the latest estimate* of the
reclamation service, and 20 per cent
of gross t.ilue of the crops As cows
are fed alfalfa almost exclusively,
teh large production of it means that
the settlers on Irrigation projects do
not have to make a cash outlay for
mil feed for cows and dairying has.
therefore, been profitable.
