However we may consider ourselves, the maritime and commercial powers of the world will consider the United States of America as forming a uneight in that balance of pow
ef in Europe which never can be forgotten or neglected.—President John Adams. ______
REVOLUTIONARY.
Salls, steam, electricity, gasoline, crudeoll and
other means of moving ships across the surface of
the sea from continent to continent are‘due to to
into the discard, along with the bussy, the dodo
and the Einstein theory.
Dr. Anton Flexner, a German, has sounded the
death knell of all the time-honored means of mov-
ing boats across the water.
The Flettner rotor does it. And It won’t be wise
to laugh about it, and say that it is another one of
those foolish scientific dreams, like perpetual mo-
tion and solar power.
The rotor realty worka, if we can believe stories
coming from the continent of Europe.
The Har burg-American line, an intensely prad-
deal steamship company, has ordered a 10.000 ton
freighter which is to sail with rotors instead of sails,
and ws are assured that the whole shipping world
VIEWPOINTS
STANDARDS AND COLLEGES
From the Fort Worth Star-Telegram: * %
There is some virtue, of course, in constituting
onesself guardian of the scared standards, whether
they be moral, social, political or educational. One
must be careful, however, to establish infallibility |
before it is assumed otherwise Injustice likely will
be done. And injustice, naturally, is the last thing
to be sought by one who from pure motives under-
takes so to safeguard the standards. This, no doubt,
is the case with the censure of the Dallas News pass- |
ad out recently upon the efforts of Simmons Col-
lege at Abilene to raise its grade and broaden its
outlook.
Simmons College, it is known to everyone at all
acquainted with rankings of educational institutions,
is a college of the first class. It is this by virtue of
earnestness and loyalty on the part of citizenship,
faculty and students, and despite the lack of a suf- 1

plete revolution In shipping as an outer me of Her

was first advanced by a scientific man nearly three (college now are engaged in the effort to supplement |
quarters of a century ago.
The only engines required to operate ships equip-
ped with rotors are small affairs, used to start the
rotors to rotating. The fuel bill on trans-Atlantic
liners will be cut from 10 to over 80 percent, we are
assured. .
What is this revolutionary invention, greater even
than the steam engine, the internal combustion en-
gine, and electric motors
Herr Freudenberg, right-hand bower to Dr Fiet
Iner, gives us the secret in the following language:
supposing a current of air strikes a smooth
evfinder such as a smokestack or the exlinder
of our rotor, what will happen? The r Mi

der about evenly. Now, suppose one-half of
the cylinder were covered with some rough
such as sandpaper what would HAP,
sure The air current, following the lines of
Rent resistance, would pass Off toward the
smooth side, and only very little of it toward
the roughened side. ___to
In other words, the air current will 50
where there is least resistance to it. Suppose
next that we begin to turn the smooth exiinder
by come mechanical means, such as aneles
trie motor As it revolves, one 'ide ot it the
disappearing side as you look at it from the
front, will be moving in the same direction in
which the air current is moving, while the
other side will run counter to the air cut rent.
Naturally the air, following the lines of least
resistance, will ass off toward the side where
the cylinder turns with the wind. It follows
that ir the cylinder is turned faster than the
velocity of the winds, there is absolutely no
rristion on the one side lor the air, and the
whole current will be deflected to that one
side with such vehemence and with suea
crowding together of current that suction en-
sues on the side revolving with the wind, while
on the side coming up against the wind a
pressure against the cylinder is produced.
This combi nation of suction on the one side
of the cylinder <nd of pressure on theother
forces the ship forward, and sails can be dis-
pensed with. '
its endowment. A report of one of the extraordinary
demonstr tions of loyalty in connection with this
campaign was the occasion for the News’ editorial
admonition, based on the assumption that Simmons,
was - -ching I yond its capacities and beyond its
field, and to the effect that Simmons should be sat-
isfied with serving fully in its ... ent capacity.
The fact in,the case is that Simmons is not seek-
ing to advance beyond its scope and that the $36,000
subscribed recently in the meeting of students and
faculty, which was commented upon in the News
editorial as but the beginning of an endowment, was
merely an item in the campaign. Simmons already
possesses an endowment of about • $200.000. It has
$100,000 more available from the Education Board
Foundation in New York when $200,000 shall be sub-
seribed by friends of the-institution. Thus, through
combination of these factors, Simmons has in pros-
pect and endowment of half a million dollars, which
is considered necessary for continuation of the pres-
ent grade of first class college. Thus, also, the sub- -
scription of $26,000 by faculty and students in a re-
cent meeting becomes an item of first importance,
rather than a paltry beginning at raising a sum of
many millions which the News considers necessary
for operation of a university.
Simmons naturally looks forward to advancement

PUZZLES—
We are this week beginning a

। for our readers who delight in pon-
dering over these mental teasers.
The solution to this week’s puzzle
will be given next week. A new
puzzle given the following week,
etc. Nothing has attained such
popularity in recent years as the
crossword puzzle and we feel sure
our readers will appreciate this
feature—RISING STAR X-RAY.
It is now ruled that newspapers
cannot give prizes for the working
of cross-word puzzles. This will
undoubtedely deter many from
working out the puzzles as they
will not want to exert the mind for
nothing. Others are going to keep
on solving the puzzles as a means
of pastime and also to bring their
think-tanks into action. Cross-word
puzzles are now all the “go"
throughout the nation and in one

popular that the libraries have to
reduce the time that each person
can use them.
