SAFETY IN THE AIR.
KOI TO WORRY.
The Reverend Dr. Siraton wonts
the law against teaching evolution
introduced into New York Suite.
His earnestness may puzzle
ether Fundamentalists when he
says he can prove the evolutionists
are w rong, because "Triassic rock"
antedates by million of years the
time of man's ern.ution as described
by Dairy "a.
If the work! only six thousand
years old, sow can there be
rocks millions of years old? In
their desire to discredit Darwin,
the good Fundamentalist should
not forget his own "facts and figures."
, Deeply religious men often males
* mistakes in science. Mr. Watson
Davis mentions two instances.
Martin I.uther condemned savagely
"an astrologer who strove to
show that the world revolves, not
the heavens or the firmament, the
sun arid the moon. This fool wishes
to reverse the entire science of
astronomy." 8ut today not Galileo
is the fool. Call-in,
quoting the psalm which
says "the world also is established
that it cannot be moved," added,
i.l-rt vx '111 I'/inf ii if rx rvl ooo tUn ? <
thority of Copernicus above that
of the Holy Spirit?"
Ami the pood John Wesley
ti .itliriit the new ideas in astronoiny
showed a trend toward infill
:ity. Those were three pood
TTote .ants: they all worried
about Galileo, as Bryan now wor
about Darwin. But religion
has survive*! their worry.
rs hying dangerous? If the
pilot uses common cn=e, it is less
dangerous than crossing a crowded
street.
The right to make home brew is
still defended by those who haven't
tried it.
The engine that" knocks is losing
power. The man who knocks has !itt

Only THREE have been killed, I
although pilots have turned endless
somersault.- and committed
much other foolishness ir. the air. '
Sixty years hence cautious old
ladies will refuse to ride in automobiles
or earth trains. They wili
aay, "At my age they are too dangerous.
I only fly, and at a safe
height."
This "humorous" paragraph in
published:
A county editor, having worked
hard for thirty years, retired with
$50,000 capital. He explained as
follows:
I attribute my ability to retire
with $50,000 to the fact that i
worked very hard sr.d saved every
cent,?-and to the death ot an uncle
who left me $19,999.30."
Ten thousand country editors
could testify that there is more
truth than humor in that anecdote.
The most useful, underpaid and
earnest body of men in the nation
are the editors of country
newspapers.
The pathetic fact is that they
would he highly prosperous men
if business anil advertisers realized
the truth that the country newspaper,
in proportion to its circulation,
IS THE BEST ADVERTISING
MEDIUM IN THE COUNTRY.
An increase in the price of rubber
drives manufacturers to plan
for smaller tires. Some man of
intelligence will find a way to nubstitute
steel springs for rubber
and produce a tire better than a
rubber tiro.
Mr. and Mrs. Howard Manee,
who have nine children, gave a

cam# to the party. If everybody
did aa well, if the millions in
China raised their gigantic families,
lor instance, and if plagues
and floods stopped killing them,
how soon would the earth be overpeopled
?
That is the thing NOT to worry
about.
"The Lord arranges it so that
the tree shall not grow into the
heavens." And He has undoubtedly
arranged it so that the earth
"Vhall i.nt breed more people than
it can support. As the world grows
older and its people know more,
fewer children are BORN; more
of them LIVE.
