theory of the universe, pushing Ivin
stein and relativity into the back-
ground.
The universe possesses a radiation
of super-frequency and superpenetra-
tion, pervading all space.
The other, which Einstein elemi-
nated, returns, but ‘it is a dynamic,
not a static, ether.
That deep news interests a few'.
Secretary Mellon says 1930 will he
a super-year, money abundant, inter-
est. rates low’, business good.
That interests everybody, violently.
Infinite time, space and ether will
take care of themselves; 1930 and
business must be attended to at once.
Now' that me 'Lug wind” that swept
through Wall Street, blowing away
paper profits, has died down, there
are sad hearts, but no real losses.
Apparent values, bom of imagina-
tion and outrageous issues of watered
stock, have shrunk by more than
twenty-three billions of dollars in
three billions of dollars in three
months.
But our national property is all
hoie, including Ihe nicely printed wa-
tered stock.
When one concern assembles a few
“public utility concerns” and prints
60,000,000 sares of wind and water,
wit 2,000,000 shares of preferred and
heaven knows how many obligations
of the assembled companies ahead of
the 60,000,000 shares, something must
happen. It did happen.
Among all the sorrows of Wall
Street, however, bright spots stand
out. Actual dividends declared in
1929 up to December 28 totaled more
than $4,462,000,000, an increase of
more than a thousand million dollars
over 1928.
We are really not poor, only a little
discouraged, some of us, at the idea
of beginning over again.
New York explodes gasoline in a
big way. In the first six months of
1929, the state taxed 774,70-,746 gal-
lons of gasoline, not including gasoline
used by farmers.
It would have taken 968 freight
trains of eighty cars each to carry
that gasoline. Who would have be-
lieved that when Senator Couzens was
investing less than $2,000 in the little
Ford car, taking out within a short
time $30,000,000 as his share?
A telegram from the “Stout Air
Line” of Detroit tells of air rates
from Detroit to Chicago reduced to
only a little more than railroad fare,
plus pullman charge.
Another telegram from the Univer-
sal Air Lines System of Chicago says:
“Pilot Ray Fortner, in a trimntored
Fokker, carried 12 passengers and an
assi^^'t pilot from Chicago to Cleve-
1.]^^ miles, in 97 minutes, 203
Jr - hour. That trip is one leg
proposed New York-I.os An-
route. The fare will be the
some as by rail.
Against an airplane going 200 miles
an house, what chance will a railroad
have, gonig 40 miles an hour, with
fare the same? Americans are in a
hurry.
We have increased 14,000,000 in ten
years, while keeping out, largely, the
“unfit European population that
breeds crime,” according to advocates
of restricted immigration.
But we have not kept out crime
itself. We have plenty of that.
In Lancaster, Ohio, Mrs. Vincent
Kemp had two sets of twins in 1929.
The first pair came on January 4 last.
The second < n t’ c last day of the
year. That is the cron that counts
and neither bootleg liquor nor drugs
will ruin it.

William F. Hallstead, President of
the Scanton (Pa.) Sun, says:
THAT a newspaper is run by hu-j
man beings, even as you and I.
The public considers newspaper as
an institution and divorces personal- ;
to the press.
Opinion should be omitted from
news, and most papers try to do
this, but most readers do not know
the difference between news and ed-
itorial opinion.
The publisher is a seller of news
and honestly tries to give you what
you want.
Wo publish so much crime news
because the public wants crime news.
There are thousands of complaints

There are more rumors in a news-
paper plant than in the Army.
It would be well worth while to
visit your local paper and see what
it is all about.

A Tip .. . From
Andrew7 Carnegie
o
Asked to explain his phenomenal success, Andrew
Carnegie blandly attributed it to his ability to get men
to work for him who knew more than he did.
And that’s formula for success. Nobody who is real-
ly successful does all the work himself. * Te employs
other people’s minds and efforts.
Do you do the same in the intricate business of run-
ning your home and taking care of your family ? You
can, quite easily. *
You can employ specialists in diet; you can serve
the master dishes of famous chefs; you can have the
advice of style authorities in selecting your clothes, of
whole electrical laboratories in buying household ap-
pliances, by reading the advertisements.
». All the newest knowledge—knowledge of millions
of dollars and years of effort have won—is contained
in the advertisements.; .
If you will use the advertisements in this newspaper
as Andrew Carnegie used men who knew more than he
did, every dollar you spend will be spent wisely, eco-
nomically, and will return full measure of satisfac-
tion. That’s the way to be a success in the greatest
business in t heworld—making a home.
