SEE WHAT WE SEE.
SACCO-VANZETTI.
STUDY VITAMINS.
EGYPT AND U. S. A.
Recently Mr. Gifford, head of
the telephone company, proved
that “television”, making it pos
sible to see and hear individuals
or crowds hundreds of miles away,
is practical.
The question, “How can that be
made useful?” is answered in a
way that in centuries to come will
shed light on our civilization.
“There it no doubt about it”,
you are told, “the only way in
which television can be made proc-
table is IN CONNECTION WITH
PRIZE FIGHTS”. P«ople wiU
pay well to see men fighting and
to hear the yells of the mob gath
ered around the prize ring. Would
television make money enabling
distant crowds to see and hear
gretft preachers or college pro
fessors? It would NOT.
A conference of college stud
ents has decided against trial mar
riage, quite solemnly, by a vote of
16 to 7. Wise Providence has de
cided against it by a vote of about
100 to 0.
When the seven young gentle
men who think they believe in
trial marriage fall in love, they
will know positively the marriage
they plan is to last forever, would
detest the theory of a trial, and
insult anybody suggesting it.
Or if not, they would not be
worth marrying.
“It would be better for Massa
chusetts and the administration of
justice generally, if a commission
could be appointed to investigate
the evidence on which Sacco and
Vanzetti are condemned to die”.
That is the opinion of the Rev.
Roland D. Sawyer, Congressional
clergyman and member of the
Massachusetts Legislature. The
commission, for which he intro
duces a bill, would consist of the
Chief Justice of the Massachu
setts Supreme Couit, and four
others to be appointed by the
Governor. The commission would
difference, and that Egyptian
princess had the better of it. She
got something in exchange for her
hand, with the long, tapering fin
gers.
Interest yourself in vitamins.
Dr. H. C. Sherman, learned pro
fessor of chemistry, proves that
vitamins brings maturity earlier
and make it last longer. Vitamins
are found in milk, butter, lettuce
and all green vegetables, cod liver
oil, red wine (barred here), fruits,
yeast, etc.
In addition to vitamins, mineral
salts are absolutely necessary to
life. No animal can live without
them.
Public school education should
include information on diet. Moth
ers especially are interested in
vitamins. Experiments with ani
mals show vitamins influence the
number of the young successful
rearing after birth.
There is much prosperity in this
country and, fortunately for us,
it is not all based on “natural re
sources”—oil, iron, coal, forests,
good soil, etc. Most of it comes
from inside the national skull.
Sir Ernest Benn observes that
American prosperity is, in many
cases, five per cent natural re
sources, ninety-five per cent work
intelligently organized. If natural
resources alone counted, “Brazil,
Liberia and Iceland would be the
world’s most prosperous coun
tries”.
Commander Udet, greatest Ger
man flier left over from the war,
will fly in a gliding plane with
out any engine from a mountain
peak in Bavaria, 2,000 feet high.
This means literally toboggan
ing from the top of a mountain
to the valley below on thin air. It
would astonish those long dead
and buried that used to smile at
the poem describing Darius Green
and his flying machine.

The impression 4hat justice in
the United States is in a hurry to
execute anybody or determined to
do so should be c^ -efully avoid
ed. This is a case [that has never
been passed upon, ps regards the
evidence, by any li t one judge,
and a case in whicl after-the-war
excitement played (e considerable
part.
