Today Your Uncle Is First. The President1 s Heaven. Mr. Ford, Please Build. \ One More Milestone. By ARTHUR BRISBANE l _/ America wins first place among all the world’s nations at the Olympic games. That means nervous concentration, intense will power, a good sign for the nation. Great honor goes to the little na tion, Finland. Those men that lived up in the cold northwest, staying indoors all through the winter, talk ing to their wives and children be tide the fire, instead of running around in southern sunshine, cer tainly developed energy. Read of Steenroos, from Finland, 40, who had not run a race in 15 years, beat all competitors by a full mile in a run of 26 miles. There is stamina. The man had lived reg ularly, and simply. That’s half the story. Second to the great Finn, Steen roos, in the 26-mile marathon race, , was an Italian. You realize what Staying powers are in that ancient Italian race, remembering that the ancestors of tjiat Italian runner were marching over the Roman stone road,- fighting the “savages” of Gaul, where Paris now stands, 1 2,000 years ago. Rev. Dr. Pierce says President Coolidge believes that heaven is “the abode of vital and vigorous human beings, of young people as well as old.” Does the president also believe in a heaven in which there is progress, change, a chance to get ahead and do new things? The most reverent must admit that eternal stagnation, through billions and billions of years, with no chance to get ahead in heaven, would be tiresome, no matter how great the bliss. Henry Ford, who owns the fa mous Longfellow “Wayside Inn” at Sudbury, has bought two old hjjuses, built about 1650. They will be taken down and rebuilt near the Wayside Inn. It is a pictur esque idea, affording harmless «|mu8ement for Mr. Ford, who can afford it. But is it “dipping back into his tory,” for which Mr. Ford has not too much regard. Perhaps after he tires of old houses, Mr. Ford w-ill show the country how to build good, modern houses for modem people, at really reasonable prices. Mr. Ford's friend, Edison, sug gested the idea of houses “poured” of Concrete. The thing is to be tried on a big scale in England. Ford ought to try that, or some better plan, here. To finance the building of 1,000, 000 or 20,000,000 low-priced hous es, with a little garage in each, would be a fine monument and a glorious gift to the people. Ford could do it. He is young enough, mentally, for new ideas. That is proved. Only a little while ago he told this writer that the flying machine was not “com mercial,” and it was too early for him to become interested in it. And now it is said that he con templates building all-metal flying machines in quantity. Production that would be useful, but not more useful than the low-priced dwell ings. ^ Civilization continues to pass im portant milstones. The end of slav ery was one. The steam engine was another, the electric dynamo another, telegraph and telephone others. The most romantic mile stone is soon to he labeled “around the world in a flying machine.” The American around the world machines reached Paris yesterday, all three of them. When they landed on Lebourget airdrome, the six Americans, step ping from their machines, had flown 18,035 miles. The first ques tion asked was “how do we stand in the Olympic games?” They didn't feel tired when they learned that their Uncle Sam had carried away the championship. Charles E. Mitchell, head of New York’s National City bank, biggest in the country, sets a good example to other financiers, in his encour agement of labor banks. In the organ of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, he firaises the bank established by the ocomotive union and other similar bpnks. With foresight and com mon sense he predicts for them Eeat success and especially he pre ;ts for them a useful, stabilizing influence in the business world. 19Z< ) Wheat Crop Heavy in Central Platte and Loup Valleys Railroads to Haul 80 Per tent of Total Yield to Market Without Any Delay. s ■ Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.
