NATURE’S BALANCE
THE PRICE FOR PICTURES.
EINSTEIN PUZZLE.
THE "FIVE ANH TEN” LAW.
It is dangerous to interfere with
nature’s hitlunee. one tiling killing
others, all kept in bounds.
Yakima County. Washington,
offered a bounty to exterminate
hawks and owls, and thousands
were killed, to protect game birds
and poultry.
Investigation by government ex-
perts, examining hawk and owl in-
teriors, found that the birds lived
on snakes, gras: hoppers, field mice
and ground squirrels, all danger-
ous to man especially the ground
squirrels that spread bubonic
plague.
Yakima has w ithdrawn the boun-
ty.
Kill off coyotes and foxes and
you encourage a plague of field
mice and juck rabbits. Montana
made that discovery. The wise
plan is to destroy the objectionable
creatures by scientific means. (Jet
rid of smull vermin and the big-
ger nuisances will disappear.
When we sec news films we rare-
ly realize the risks run by camera-
men. Those risks are great and oc-
Visionally death proves it.
At Daytona. T’lorida, Mr. Bible,
trying for a new automobile speed
record, was instantly killed when
his cat was going 202 miles an
hour.
The crowd stood well hack,
watching the race, but Charles
Traub, grinding* a newsreel cam
era. knew tt was his duty to show
the machine, traveling four miles
a minute, earning* head-on. He
stood with his camera planted
slightly to one side of the straight
course. When the driver lost con-
trol the car leaped and rolled. •
It was too late for Traub to save
himself. His dead body was laid
out beside that of the driver.
That is the price paid sometimes
for news pictures.
Professor Einstein. • fifty years
old, retired with his wife from
public view, to think about rela-
tivity and the fourth dimension,
and wonder w hy people make such
a fuss over him.
He L*. esj*eciuM> atttaeod at the
great i/derest in his discoveries in
the United States. And he well
may be. Not ten men in tbe
United States understand them.
What Will Rogers calls the
“Fire and Ten prohibition law.”
five years in jail, and $10,0011 fine
•.went into effect in Chicago, and the
first man caught in tbe Jones net
was Carl Mahuke, a policeman.
The Chicago federal district at-
