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.”

Bj International 'Sen h Srrvlc*.
San Francisco, Nov. 9.—Walter
Richardson, 17, asserted son of S. L.
Richardson, wealthy resident of At
lanta, Ga., decided today that the
Joke was on him. He told police that
he registered at a fashionable San
Francisco hotel as John Candler, son
of the Coco Cola king, as a joke, and
thought It was also a good ''spoof
on the Candlers, long friends of his
family, when he wrote checks ag
gregating f 15,000, which have been
returned.
"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. She did not
take him seriously despite his "Rolls
Royce" tone and to impress her he
bought three automobiles, the police
said.
Miss Cowin refused his gifts, she
said, and for several days had de
clined to see him. The youth claims
relationship with Lumford Richard
son, big southern drug manufacturer.
Word of his plight has been sent to
his parents and he confidently ex
pected aid today from his father.
