Today if Oxen DUl It. Dupont's Prediction. Crying^ Her Eyes Out. Army Happy — King Safe. By ARTHUR BRISBANE v __n_^ In a wild west exhibition a dozen cows are turned into the rrona; “wild cows” they are called. Cowboys with lassoes and empty ,1 r bottles are turned loose with th ■ cows. They lasso them, throw tin m down, sit on them, and the cowboy that first mnnages to fill I s beer bottle with milk, no mat ter how, as the cow pants and struggles, receives a special re tard. To many civilized beings that seems all right. What should we say about a col- • lection of oxen if they gave a similar exhibition, only turning nursing human mothers into the arena instead of cows. We might criticize them severely for lack of delicate feeling. Mr. I. Dupont, president of the great Dupont company and a train ed scientist, predicts among future possibilities these: Synthetic food, prepared by chemists, taking the place of eggs, butter, milk, beef, etc. Artificial wool, which would make sheep unnecessary for their fleece, after doing away with the necessity for mutton. Complete conquest of disease, which would mean saving untold billions every year. \ Storing up the heat of the sun, which would give free or very cheap light and powei? Light without any heat. The lightning bugs understand that now, wo don’t. Great reduction in hours of sleep, adding four hours a day, 20 years on the average, to a man’s working life. An interesting program, hut as every scientist will tell you, it does not begin to enumerate the possibilities. Bessie Rogers gets a divorce be cause she has “been crying her eyes out,” about her husband. And she is only 23. When Napoleon III was em peror, some mysterious person re peatedly fastened to the tall column with Napoleon’s statue on it, in the Place Vendome, verses which meant “if all the blood that thou hast spilled could be gathered in this square thou wouldst drink it without bending down.” That hurt the feelings of Napo leon III. proud of his great reputa tion, but it was true. If you could gather together all the tears that women have shed, “crying their eyes out about their husbands,” as Mrs. Bessie Rogers did, they would flood the whole of Omaha and overflow into the river. Mussolini increases the pay of soldiers so that they are as well paid as civilian workers. That’s > ’ an echo of old Rome. They took ,, good care of soldiers in those ' ancient days that Mussolini ad | mires and would bring back. ’ A contented army means a safer, dictator. • The old plan was to give land to the old soldiers and whatever they take to the young ones. Good pay probably will do as well. There are many kinds of wealth in the United States—cotton, wheat, corn, gold, silver, iror\, cop per. But the greatest crop of all is the crop of American girls for what America is to be depends upon what they are. The best possible crop news is found in the statistics of Vassar college. The college girl of today is nearly two inches taller than her sister of 1884. The modern girl weighs more, has a larger waist measurement, and greater lung capacity. These statements mean stronger mothers, better babies, and there fore a greater country. Most important is the waist measurement, which has increased from an average of 22, to an aver age of 25 inches in young girls. Thirty inches would be better, strong muscles around the waist in stead of a strong iron corset is what women want. Look at the Venus of Milo and you see the perfect type. A woman medium, quite sure l that she could call spirits from l the vastly deep and make them B talk, is ordered by her husband B not to make the tests before B scientists. ■ He says the conditions would B not be “psychic.” Thope condi HM;ions would be to demonstrate (■wireless telegraphy, the reality of ^■nessages by radio, chemical reac ^tions or anything else, that actu ally happens. Why scientists, so-called, should dignify spooks and ghosts by sug gesting foolish scientific “Usts” is not easily understood. As well offer a reward to any body that will prove the truth of the story of “Jack the Giant Killer.” (Copyright, 192 3. > Liquor Cache Found.

"There sure Is a lot in a name,” young Richardson said today. "Automobile salesmen, real estate brokers and everybody seemed anx ious to sell me things as soon as I had registered as Candler. They took my checks without question. They are really to blame for rushing me so.” According to RiehardBon's story to the police and inquiry of detectives assigned to case, the boy was given $1,500 to. make a trip to the coast. En route he fell in love with Miss Hortense Cowin, young Chicago girl, ho was also en route to San Fran cisco to visit relatives.
