SPEED
The year is only three months
old, but already two of the
world’s speed records have
been broken and others are
threatened. Gar Wood drove
a speedboat 102 miles an hour
at Miami the other day. Not
-long ago Captain Malcolm
Campbell drove an automobile
245 miles an hour. If this
sort of thing keeps np through-
out the year, i931 will be the
speediest twelve-month in his-
tory.
* There are some high records
to be challenged. There will
be another airplane race for.
the Schneider Cup this yean
The present record for speed
in the air is held by Flight
Commander A. H. Ortebar of
the British air forces, who flew
at 357.72 miles an hour in a
seaplane in September, 1929,
winning the Sehneider trophy.
That is the fastest any man has
turning their attention to flying
and apeedboating, the older
forms of competitive locomo-
tion are being more or less
neglected. No pacing home
has beaten the record of a
mile in 1 minute 55 seconds, set
by. Dan Patch in 1908, while
Peter Manning's trotting rec-
ord of 1.56% for the mile,
made in 1922, remains un-
broken.
. No human has propelled
himself faster for a mile than
Naavo Nurmi did in .1923,
when he negotiated the dis-
tance in 4 minutes 10.4 sec-
onds, and Edward Tolan’s rec-
ord of 9% seconds for the 100
yards, made two years ago, still
stands.
Everybody has a chance at
some world’s record or other,
bot let us hope that the weath-
er man won’t try to break last
year’s drought record.

Washington, D. C., March
30.—Shortage of food, due to
.drought conditions, is still a
source of suffering in nearly
400 counties in seven states,
according to a survey by the
Department of Agriculture
made available on March 17.
Relief by the Red Cross and
otbei national and local agen-
cies nust be continued in some
parts until July and August,
the survey Indicates.
Vaccinations against typhoid
ha>.e reached unprecedented
heights in some of the states,
particularly Kentucky. The
greatest shortage at present
consists in food for livestock
and some districts have re-
sorted to the practice of graz-
ing their mules half a day
and working them the other
half, thereby avoiding the use
of grain.
Fall gardens have helped
out in many cases, although
lack of water stopped their
being planted in all but a few
states. Texas was able to pro-
duce a fine turnip crop that
helped out materially. The af-
flicted districts are being
forced to borrow money to
bring in vast amounts of food-
stuffs for their animals and this
condition will not be
ameliorated ontil early this
summer, the survey shows.

Government support of
wheat prices will be with-
drawn, following the May 1 de-
liveries of the 1930 crop, the
Federal Farm Board an-
nounced late last month. The
huge surplus of 1930, which
may exceed that of the year
before, has convinced the offi-
cials that it is no longer feasi-
ble to try to support the price
unless farmers will cut down
their acreage. Surveys indi-
cate that farmers have cut
their spring planting ten per
cent, half of t)>e twenty per
cent which members of the
Board had asked. In any event
the Federal Farm Board has
stated that no support will be
given the 1931 crop, which will
have to stand on its own bot-
tom.

Sam H. Thompson, for the
past live years president of the
American Farm Bureau Fed-
eration, has succeeded Alexan-
der Legge as a membei of the
Federal Farm Board, Legge re-
turning to his duties as head
of the International Harvest
Co. Thompson was appointed
by President Hoover with the
expressed intention of giving
the farmers better representa-
tion. He is a practical farmer,
having increased an 89-acre
farm to a 500-acre holding,
while at the same time having
been active in business and leg-
islative circles.
The new piember of the
Board is expected to become
its grain expert, as former
Gov. McKetvie, of Nebraska,
who has voiced the grain rais-
ers’ side in Board discussions,
has announced his intention of
resigning in a short time.

Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon’s dream of an early re-
tirement of the National Debt
received a jolt recently when
the first quarterly collections
of the income tax were tabu-
lated, and found far below the
estimates. Coming on the
heels -of tl}4 recent Veterans'
Loan Act, Which diverted half
a million dollars unexpectedly,
it looks to observers here as
though there are only two
ways out of the dilemma,
either to increase the tax, an
unpopular move always and
particularly so at the present
time, or else to set aside a
much smaller sum for the sink-
ing fund. -,Many of Secretory
Mellon’s friends feel that he is
a little too inclined to rush the
payment of the National Debt,
a natural desire from, the
standpoint of a banker but to-
tally against the theories of
statesmen, who have found ou^,
in history, that debts put off by
nations are invariably settled
with greater ease at a distant
datei \

It will come as a surprise to
many that .the Capitol at
Washington is an uncompleted
building. Millions of visitors
have toiled through Its long
halls and into Its hundreds of
rooms and felt they have seen
a masterpiece of architecture.
Lately, however, agitation has
disclosed that the recess be-
tween the two wings on the
east front is an architectural
blot The huge dome appears,
to an expert’s oye, as though
it was insecure. Back in 1864,
the Capitol architect at that
time submitted plans for re-
modeling the east front, al-
though advising that active
work be withheld until the
country emerged from the
Civil War and was in a better
financial position. Since then,’
in 1889 and 1901, various
plans were ordered by Con-
gress and estimates ranging
around $3,000,000 were made
for the proposed changes.
These plans never reached
fruition, however. Now David
Lynn, the present architect of
the Capitol, is asking for an-
other $5,000 appropriation to
have plans made to complete
the work. Extensive marble
work outside of the central
portion will be required to
complete the building and to
avoid the painting of that sec-
tion every four years, as has
been done ever since fhe Cap-
ital was formally opened.

Ail of the functions of life

Perhaps this is why some
mothers ’ refuse to think that
such symptoms as restless
sleep, loss of flesh, lack of ap-
petite or itching nose and
fingers in their children, can be
caused by round or pin worms.
Many mothers" have proven,
however, that a few doses of
White’s Cream Vermifuge,
that sure and harmless worm
expellant, trill make these
symptoms disappear. You

Dime Saving for 27 Yean
Gives Man Deluxe Trip
Aroeued World
New York, March 27.—
Oscar S. Bodehhausen started
back to his home in St. Joseph,
Mo., Thursday after seeing the
world on dimes.
Twenty-seven years ago he
decided to save every dime he
found in hip pockets at the
close of each day. Last Au-
gust, having amassed $3700, he
took a de luxe train for San
Francisco. There he embark-
ed on a tour that took him to
all the places he had been
dreaming of—Japan, Korea,
Manchuria, China, the Philip-
pines, Burma, India, Ceylon,
Italy, the Riviera, Paris end
London.
“I might nave bought a
couple of cigars or a glass of
beer with each day’s savings,”
he said, “but I didn’t, and so I
saw the pflaces I wanted to
see while the boys bsck home
were plugging away at the
daiiy job without a chance of
traveling around the world.”
He landed In New York with
$850. It becomes the nucleus
of a new travel fund.
Mrs. Nagger—And to think
you werqjust a struggling
young business man when I
married you,
Mr. Nagger—Yeah, but 1
didn’t struggle enough.
I was talking recently with
Ted Clark who was secretary
to Mr.'Coolidge at the White
House. He told me about one
of the famous Gridiron dinners,
at which a character was made
up to represent the “Front
Page.” The poor fellow was
emaciated and despondent; he
complained that Coolidge had
ruined him by making so little
news.
Ted said: “I think that one
of the best and truest tributes
that could be paid to Coolidge
would be to toy: ‘He took the
government of the United
States off the front page.’ ”
He went on to tell half a
dozen dramatic incidents
which might easily have be-
come national- iataes if Cool-
idge had been minded to make
a fuss about them. Bat he
handed them so quietly that
the public new nothing about
them.
The newspapers are the
greatest single educational in-
fluence in our lives. By throw-
ing the fierce glare at their
search-light in all directions
they have been a powerful aid
in abolishing secret diplomacy.
They have encouraged' big
business to come out into the
open, and they are a constant
and tremendous deterrent to
crime.
But under our system of
government they put an un-
willing premium upon the per-
formance ef the self-advertiser
and the demagogue.
Our Senators are no longer
chosen, as they used to be, by
responsible party organizations
in the state legislature. They
are nominated in popniar pri-
maries.
The easy way tor a Senator
to keep lgs voters from forget-
ting his name is to make them
think he is important in Wash-
ington. And the easy way to
achieve this seeming impor-
tance is to attack something; or
investigate something, or be-
come otherwise nosy and con-
spicuous. •>
I have stood in the labora-
tory where Edison worked so
many years to give the world
electric light. I have seen the
old shed where Kettering first
began the experiments which
culminated in the self-starter
for automobiles. I have visited
the tiny village where, in ’a
modest house, Charles Darwin
wrote the book that changed
the trend of science thought.
On the gate post is a tablet,
which this inscription:
“Here Darwin lived
and thought tor forty
years, and here on
April 19, 1882, he
.died.” ’
We can put up patiently
with quite a lot of Senators, so
long as we know that, back in
ten thousand quiet homes and
shops and offices, there are
Edisona and Ketterings 'and
Darwins.
