Today Good Friends W ith Canada. Roosevelt’t Plain Talk. You Are 90 Per Cent Good. Air Travel 1 Cent a Mile. By ARTHUR BRISBANE. : \___ Some of Canada’s able men sug gest getting out of the League of Nations, which they call unneces sary expense and a dangerous en tanglement for their country. The fact that this country stays out of the league has some weight with our neighbors in the north. A good League of Nations might j be constructed on this continent with Canada and the United States ns foundation members. A league . to take care of America, North and . South, leaving Europe to look after Europe, would be popular and use : ful. Close and friendly relations be 5 tween Canada and this country are ■ especially important. Our inter ; csts, manner and standards of liv ' ing are practically the same, and this country could learn several things from Canadians. One of the things, very im portant, that Canada could teach us, is the efficient, profitable man agement of railroads owned by the people. Here it is understood that our public men are too incapable, or too dishonest, or both, to be trusted with public utilities. They have no such difficulty in Canada. The late Theodore Roosevelt’s letters to his friend, Cabot Lodge, and his remarks to others are in teresting. W. J. Bryan he called a “small man and a demagogue,” and of Woodrow Wilson, he said to a naval officer, “The man (Wilson) is a physical coward.” Theodore Roosevelt spoke plain ly, especially in these private let ters, published after his death, with the consent of his family. What you are at birth limits def initely your future possibilities. Your surroundings and education may enable you fully to develop all that you have in you. But nothing can be added to the limits that are fixed, with your first breath of life. Therefore it is a comfort to hear from Prof. T. H. Morgan, eminent biologist of Columbia university, that every one of us has, from his ancestors, a mental and physical inheritance at least 90 per cent good. Had the percentage been lower, the ancestors would not have sur vived and would have no descend ants. Why a blue-eyed man and wo man never have brown-eyed chil dren. HoK..il.iutppens that a taste for drugs or drink is never inher ited, and many other interesting things Prof. Morgan can tell you. But the most important is this: Ninety per cent of the hereditary forces within you are working on the side of virtue and success. News from Paris will Interest railroad men of the kind that think. For the cheapest airplane trip from Paris to Rouen, a distance of 80 miles, a 50,000-franc prize was of fered. Drsughin, a French flyer, made the trip at a total cost of 80 cents, 1 cent a mile for gas and oil. And he won the prize. Up in the air there are no road beds or rails to be kept up, no fric tion or bumping, wearing out roll ing stock. Before the Fords get through with their airplane build ing, they will carry 10 passengers from Detroit to California or Flor^ ida for one-quarter of the present fare, in one-third of today’s run ning time. It Is the old story of Troy, with Mumtaz Begum in piace of Helen, and with conspiracies, high officials paid to plan to murder and other details to warm the heart of any magazine editor, looking for an ex citing story. Could you imagine better names, ready mhde for romance than Mum taz Begum, Alla Bux Wazir and the maharajah of Indore. Poor little Mumtaz, with the slim ankles, sold and delivered, had her delicate brown face slashed with the knives of hired murderers. Told to disfigure her, that no other man might own her beauty. That is the sad part of the story. Secretary Wilbur, according to a dispatch to New York Times, is worried. It seems that 11 war ships, with all their anti-aircraft guns, blazing away to the limit, at an aircraft target, were unable to score even one single hit. The secretary has demanded a report, and that is a good idea. A better idea would be to build about -i,000 fast fighting airplanes. What do you think half a dozen bombing airships would have done to those 11 warships while they were shooting off their comic-opera anti-aircraft guns? IVarships are. obsolete. Battle ships are merely big humors* easy targets for aerial bombs. If the nation must support the battleship builders, why not subsidize them, and teach them to build airplanes. Howard P. Curtis, who has spent five years in Japan, brings news of that capable and energetic nation’s war preparations. Japan does not Intend to be taken, unprepared, whatever foolish nation* may do, and she deserves credit for her in telligence. Japan owns and la building more of the swiftest light cruisers in the world, to look after her shipping end take care, of any enemy ship. One of these cruisers, the Yura, carries torpedoes three feet in dia meter and 21 feet long, most pow erful ever made. Japan's work in building air ma chines exceeds that of any other two nations, and will soon make of Japan the most powerful nation in the air, more powerful even than France, with her 4,000 airplanes that now make her mistress of Eu rope. This nation should admire and imitate the intelligent and active people of Japan. Neither earth quake nor fire, no calamity can make them neglect the one im portant thing, national security.

The family had moved into a home recently vacated by another family. Harkins slepped out of the back door to pump a. bucket of water from a well.
