—-I „ Today The Tornado Disaster. Worse Might Come. Japan's Neto Trouble. The 31-Ounce Baby. By ARTHUR BRISBANE. \_ J The dreadful tornado sweeping through five states, killing 1,000 and injuring other thousands, makes everything else seem trifling and unimportant. We live at the mercy of nature’s forces, above, below and all around •a. A tidal wave from the ocean vould wash away the nation’s big gest city. An earthquake or a tor nado could level it. Sympathizing with the unfor tunate victims of the great disaster —the nation may well feel grateful for the high average of safety. The earth turns on its axis at the rate of a thousand miles an hour. If it stopped for a second the oceans would be hurled from the great val leys in which they lie, and life on the earth would be washed back to the condition of millions of years ago, with no life except the lowest forms. Great disasters shock and over whelm us. The recent great earth quake in Japan and the historic and even more appalling earthquake of Lisbon remind us how feeble and helpless we are living on a whirl ing globe traveling around the sun at a speed of nearlj' 2,000,000 miles de a day. The amazing thing is our safety and secure existence. Assuming that they are wmrth having we should be deeply grateful. While we condole with the vic tims of our own disaster, we feel deepest sympathy with the unfor tunate inhabitants of TokioS so re cently torn by the great earthquake and now with 10,000 made home less by a dreadful fire. The cable says casually that the fire swept through “the quarter of small, poor people,” but that makes it all the worse. What they lost was had. In the midst of calamities, fol lowing the stock market drop, fires and a rebellious senate, the public miN^vtill is able to take a deep in terest in Lois Clausen, a New Jer sey baby, 8 weeks old, weighing yes • terday only 2 pounds, 12 ounces. When she was born she weighed 1 pound, 15 ounces, and doctors said she could not live. There is a power in the brain even in that of a new-born baby, able to defy doctors and their scien tific predictions. Irsthat tiny head which you could span with your fingers there existed a determination to live, and the mother still has her baby alive and gaining. * The other news of the world is abouf as usual. In Italy, Dr. Voro noff. gland grafting expert, is at work with local scientists grafting glands on sheep. The practical Italians are not interested in mak ing an old man young, but in caus ing the sheep to produce more and better wool and meat.. If they suc ceed with sheep, they’ll experiment on bigger animals. -!-- f \ England plans a return to the gold basis, which would put the pound sterling where it was before the war. Keync, considered a great authority because he told the na tions what fools they were making of themselves with their Versailles treaty, opposes the gold standard. Most of the newspapers and bank ers are in favor of it. Whether Britain, suffering in H business and industry, will be help ed by gold standard resumption, no body knows. The reason is that nobody knows positively anything about finance or money—except I i hat real gold is a good thing to II have. Usually it conies out on top. Ill The plan, suggested after the war, that "Europe should abandon the gold standard, leaving Uncle Sam with a lot of worthless gold on his hands was not 6uund. Pekin expects the renewal of war in two or three weeks—Russians on (•lie side, Japanese and British on the other, all interested in China’s latent wealth, pull in different di rections. Nobody is able to mannge all of the great jellyfish nation at one time. You pick up one piece of it and the rest falls from your hand. The Russians are tryinft to settle their debts on some half measure basis that will be satisfactory to 1he French. The French would like, to be friends with Russia, even with uncertain, so-called proletarian, bolshevik Russia. The Frendi nightmare is a revival of Germany in military strength, ~_and the French, with the great Russian na tion on their side as insurance, would feel safer.
