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.
