Lady Senator, 87.
For Victory, Blue Eyes.
Oh! Vain Tears.
Mr. Replogle's Flier.
?By ARTHUR BRISBANE?
'Copyright 1922.)
Governor Hardwick, of
Georgia, has appointed Mrs. W.
H. Feltcn, eighty-seven years
old. Georgia's "Grand Old
Lady," to the late Thomas E.
Watson's seat in the Senate.
That shows what the ballot
means to women. If such a
thing had been suggested ten
years ago, Governor Hardwick
would have been the laughing
stock of the United States. Now
everybody with common sense
welcomes such an appointment
as wise and appropriate.
A lady saw Kemal Pasha,
and reports that he has light
hair and light blue eyes. That
explains Turkey, despised and
summarily kicked out, being the
first of the beaten nations to
return triumphant and dictate
terms Jo the allies.
Where you see a natural born
conquerer you see blue or gray
eyes, usually?for instance,
Napoleon. Alexander, Caesar,
Foch, Charles the Twelfth,
George Washington?all men
with blue or gray eyes.
Bfcown and black eyes are
admirable for sentiment; there
fore very pleasing and promis
ing in women. But the quality
that cuts through and gets
things done seems to go with
the blue or gray-eyed man?for
instance, Rockefeller, Gary,
Armour?this annoys some men
with brown or black eyes, but it
shouldn't. Brown eyea this time
may change to blue or gray eyes
in the next incarnation.
The wine of the Hapsburg
emperors, five and one quarter
million gallons, rarest old wines,
brandies. and liqueurs, the
finest in existence, will be Fold
for about $250,000 in Austrian
money. That is less than one
cent and a half a quart. The
collection includes old Tokay,
original Chartreuse, Benedictine,
etc. There are eyes to whom
this news will bring a furtive
tear. And not a drop of wood
alcohol in the 5,250,000 gallons.
Mr. Replogle, steel man, told
the Federal Trade Commission
yesterday about "two little
fliers in wheat." When you
read of the first flier you under
stand how easily gambling gets
hold on men weaker than Mr.
Replogle.
Somebody told him wheat was
poing up. He was at Pnlm
Beach enjoying the sunshine,
and bought "a line of about
1.250,000 bushels of May wheat
around $1.03 a bushel.*'
He sold it out gradually for
about $1.14. This gave him a
little profit of $125,000. That
didn't mean anything to him,
but it paid his Palm Beach
hotel bill and left over enough
to buy a new car.
The whole thing, however,
means a good deal to the
farmers. It takes 250,000 acres
of wheat land, at least, to pro
duce J,250,000 bushels cf wheat.
There are many acres of blow
ing, harrowing, seeding, har
vesting, threshing, hauling, a
good many hours of worry, and
a year out of the life of many
farmers involved in 250,000
acres of wheat.
That's what makes farmers
Interested in those "fliers," and
makes such men as Senator
Arthur Capper of Kansas, want
to know more about the flying
proccss. The farmer has an
idea that others fly and he
stays on the ground.
When we know more about the
mysterious rays that we control
slightly, rays of great power sent
out by radium, counteracting the
power of gravitation, X-rays,
etc., we shall know more about
this universe and how it works.
The discovery of radium solves
the problem of the earth's age.
Geologists proved conclusively
that the earth must be hundreds
cf millions of years old; physi
cists declared such a thing im
possible, as the sun, burning up,
does not possess substance to
burn through so many years.
Substitute a few tons of radium
and its power for ordinary com
bustion within the sun, and the
earth's geological age becomes
reasonable.
Now a French scientist, Pes
tandres, announces in the
"Yellow Stars" new, unknown
rays infinitely more powerful
than X-rays and others that we
know. Between those b'azing
suns, with brilliancy of lisrht
incomprehensible to us, and our
modest little sun the difference
is as great as that between a
tallow candle and the million
power electric light in the
greatest lighthouse.
We know as much about this
universe as a black beetle on the
track knows about the flying ex
press that roars over its head.
Stocks go up. The latest
European news is peace news.
Wheat poes down. Peace news
is bad news for wheat prices.
In war wheat goes up. Gov
ernments that will not buy
> wheat to feed the starving in
peace will spend their last cent
and everybody else's las'. ?ent
to feed soldiers in war.
And when we do hnv? war,
the government holds down the
price of our wheat to please

make one ticket prow where none

A great city still sleeps.
It Is very quiet out at the I olo

It is very quiet along the line of

In spite of all precautions the

Box Seats Are Scarce.
Box seats they said were not to

As much as $175 and $'-"0 is be
