| WHEN OPINIONS CHANGE
THE HIGH PRICE OF BOOKS
AIRPLANES AND EQUALITY
AN UNWISE TAX
The German and Irish fliers insert
the words: "Thank God,*' or
"Rv fhl? At " in IH-OPV
message describing their safe landing:
through foe and storm across the
ocean after thirty-six hours of
i danger.
The professional atheist, unwilling
i to believe anything that "has not
! been proved to him."' would find his
j oiuions changing, in a big earthI
quake. or above the ocean i:i a fog.
Senators denounce the high price
of books.
Mr. McK ellar. from Tennessee'. |
says: "Novels worth Two bits' can!
not be bought for less than $2.. . ."i
The price of novels is not so important.
But the high cost of books;
j containing positive knowledge, that!
; would enable uneducated millions j
including many college graduates)
| to educate themselves, is disastrous.!
That a hook should be sold for j
| four ov five time? what it costs to1
produce it. is :is bad for the publisher
and for the author as for the
reading public.
When will American business,
generally learn that big sales with
small profits, as shown in the automobile
industry, are most profitable.
Lindbergh took young Pacific1
coast girls up in the air. in install-j

The war ended some time since
and the foolish tax ought to end.
\ company is formed to build
] seadromes, ocean landing: places to
j be scattered over the Atlantic. The
theory is that transatlantic air planes
would laud, get fuel and start aghin.
But by the time the Atlantic i.
"doited with seadromes," planes will
fly across the Atlantic as easily as
they now fly across the English
channel.
?
In the second places, it jt is hard
for filers in -m mm what foggy weather
to find the Hawaiian islands in
the Pacific, how difficult would it
be for them to find a landing place
"dot." in the Pacific? As hard as
