HISTORY UP-TO-DATE
Feb. 15, 1564 -Galileo Galilei was
horn at Pisa.
Ho is one of the greatest names in
science, hut you’re wrong if you be
lieve that he was (as is frequently
seated) the inventor of the telescope.
It was invented in Holland, which
also gave us the miscoscope, probably
by Hans Lippershey, spectacle-maker.
But Galileo was first to use it with
understanding, when he was 45.
So many of his resultant ideas, set
forth with self-satisfied, unyielding
assurance, upset existing thought
that he naturally got into difficulties
with religious authorities. He knelt
in sackcloth and abjured beliefs which
all intelligent men know today to be
true, hut nothing could stay his cur
iosity, and his discoveries—the law of
the pendulum, the first principles of
dynamics, the first theory of solar
spots, etc. Even after he lost his
eyesight he continued. He invented
the pendulum clock after he was
blind.
Feb. 15, 1744—John Hadley died at
62.
He is not mentioned in histories
and is scarcely noted in encyclopedias
hut he left behind him an imperish
able monument. For he invented in
1731 a device for measuring angular
distances, an octant, employing a grad
uated arc of one-eighth of a circle,
('apt . Campbell enlarged it in 1757
to use it for navigation purposes and
it became the sextant, indispensible
to navigators.
Foh. 15, 1838—The legislature of
Indiana enacted a law setting up a
state university at Bloomington, and
providing that the students there
should be instructed in “the Ameri
can, learned and foreign languages
and literature.”
It was the first effort to establish
an American language by law. Amer
ican as distinguished from English,
remains the official language of In
diana .
Feb. 15. 1879 —Congress enacted a
law granting women the right to prac
tice before the U. S. Supreme Court.
It was the first grant of “equal rights”
hv Congress.
By a coincidence, it was the 50th
birthday of Susan Brownell Anthony,
quaker pioneer in the women’s rights
movement.
Women may practice before any
court in the land today, but women
are not specified to serve in juries in
half the states.
Feb. 15. 1898 s —A message went from
Havana to Washington from 53-year
old Charles Dwight Sigsbee, Captain,
U. S. N., to John D. Long, secretary
of navy:
“Maine blown up in Havana Harbor
at 9:40 tonight and destroyed. Many
wounded and doubtless more killed or
drowned. Wounded and others on
board Spanish man-of-war and Ward
Line steamer. Sand lighthouse tend
ers from Key West for crew and the
few pieces of equipment above water.
No one has clothing other than that
upon him. Public opinion should he
suspended until further account. All
officers believed to he saved Tonk
ins and Merritt not yet accounted for
Many Spanish officers, including rep
resentatives of General Blanco, now
with me to express sympathy.”
The Maine, had been sent to Havana
upon a mission of “Friendly courtesy.’
Her visit brought war.
Spanish were blamed for the explo
sion. It never has been learned how
the Maine was destroyed. Neverthe
less, “Remember the Maine” became
the rallying cry in a war that need
never have been fought and in which
Spain knew that she would be the
loser.
Spain was forced into the war by
the U. S. Why? Well, the U. S. min
ister in Madrid cabled President Mc-
Kinley: “They cannot go further in
open concessions to us without being
overthrown by their own people here
in Spain . . They want peace if
they can keep peace and save the dv-

Business Remains Spotty
Over Most of Southwest
(Continued from Pag® One.)
scale. Most oil men felt that govern
ment control of production would be
sustained in the nation’s courts.
Hence, the Supreme Court’s decision
in tile “hot oil” case was unexpected
and has been very upsetting in East.
Texas and Oklahoma. Offsetting the
decision to some extent is the promise
of increased consumption, but there
is a general feeling here that ulti
mately the oils will suffer like the
utilities.
Farmers in Oklahoma and Texas
had a hard year in 1934. Crops were
hit by tlie drought and most growers,
unlike those east of the Mississippi,
were unable to share fully in the
sharp rise in corn, wheat, and cot
ton prices. As a result, 1934 farm
income in both Texas and Oklahoma
dropped well below the 1933 figure.
According to government reports, the
farmers are out to make up for tlicir
1934 losses. They sowed more acreage
last autumn than a year erlier, but
the condition of the fll crop is not
good. On the other hand, benefit pay
ments to Southwestern farmers has
helped to soothe the drought losses.
Texas is the largest sharer in AAA
disbursements with Oklahoma in
third place.
Farm Outlook Also Spotty
The farm outlook in southwestern
Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico is
considerably better than that in other
parts of Texas and Oklahoma. The
outlook is so promising that 1 rate
these areas as outstanding territories
from a sales’ standpoint at the pres
ent time. The serious “freeze” has
boosted winter vegetable prices. Thin,
of course is good news for those
truck gardeners and citrus growers
whose crops have escaped. I have
been amazed by the expansion that
has taken place in the southwest’s
grapefruit and vegetable crops in the
last few years. The trend of livestock
prices is upward although the con
dition of ranges in southern New
Mexico and western Texas is poor. In
southern Texas I thought that the
pastures looked fairly good.
Although I cannot approve of the
Roosevelt methods of trying to help
the farmer, I do agree that agricul
ture is of fundamental importance to
the nation’s welfare. The fact that
our national annual farm income was
over ten billion dollars in 1928 and
was only six billion dollars last year
pretty much explains the reason for
present industrial unemployment.
Either the farmers' income must
come up or the wages of those who
make what the farmers buy must go
down. It is utter foolishness to ex
pect western farmers to get on with
mere subsistence income without also
expecting eastern wage workers to do
likewise. The importance of balance
cannot be overemphasized. Economi
cally we are all in the same boat in
the long run—which was the basis
of Jesus’ teachings.
Cotton Control Uncertain
Building—a major industry in any
section—has shown considerable Im
provement in the Southwest. Construe
live volumes are about double last
vear, but actually from the standpoint
of normal operations the industry is
still flat, nattered all over Oklahoma,
New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona arc
some large and many small building
supply plants. 1 have repeatedly said
that the construction industry really
holds the key to prosperity (in the
United States. But only when rising
rents have caught up with outlandish
costs, can plants in the Southwest,
really look forward to good business.
This region is essentially an agri
culturally area, and canning, meat
packing, and other farm auxiliary in
dustries are the major industrial lines
excepting, of course, petroleum. Re
ports from mining centers in Color
ado, Utah, and Arizona are encourag
ing. At present prices, silver and gold
mining are very profitable. Copper
is in a much sounder statistical posi
tion than a year ago. The present high
rate of activity in the farm tool, elec
trical appliance, and automobile in
dustries means a further increase in
the consumption of metals. Another
important industry in the Southwest
—cotton exportation from Texas Gulf
ports—has suffered a tremendous loss
of volume. Cotton movements thro
ugh Houston and Galveston have been
about cut. in half. Criticism of the
cotton control program in these two
centers is most hitter.
Trade Gains Average Ten Per Cent
I am told retail trade throughout
the Southwest is running well above
1934 levels ,the average gain for the
district .being somewhere between
eight and fifteen per cent. Stocks are
slightly larger than last year, but.
collections have slowed up somewhat
within the last month or two. Whole
sale activity, of course, follows close
ly the volume of retail trade. Faun
implement houses are enjoying the
best business, some reporting gains
as high as fifty per cent over last
year. Electrical supply and furniture
wholesalers are the next most ac
tive groups. Credit conditions in
wholesale as well as in retail con
cerns are much better than a yaer
ago.
Employment in general throughout
the Southwest is at about the same
level as last February, while pay- (
rolls are slightly higher. The possi
bility of a substantial improvement
is dependent upon crop conditions and
upon developments in the oil and
building industries. Activity in the
latter two industries is In turn de
pendent on business conditions thro
ughout the nation. Hence, the em
ployment outlook in the Southwest
does not differ materially from the
national outlook. Workers in the
Southwest, as in other parts of the
country, are beginning to feel the
pinch of mounting living costs, which
have risen about five per cent above
last February.
General Outlook Political
Below I am listing tne Southwestern
States and some of the leading cities
with their percentage trade gains
The Flying Deutschman
over a year -ago. Readers will note
that most cities are following closely
the average gain for the country as
measured by the Babsonchart: East
Texas and Oklahoma made big gains
early in the recovery and it is not
surprising, therefore, that their im
provement over a year ago is less
than the national average. The lat
ter according to the Bansonchart, is
now 15 per cent above a year ago
and 17 per cent below normal.

All in ail, the past week’s trip lias
not been very pleasant. Tl. is dis
couraging to pass through sections
where .business is so closely allied
with and dependent, upon politics. I
was, however, very glad to note when
passing through this section that the
resort towns are enjoying an excel
lent season. I have a deep gratitude to
the beautiful health-giving climate or
this part of the Southwest.. It. was
here that I was sent to die 35 years
ago, and from whence I came back
cured. Never has any investment,
yielded me greater returns. So I am
particularly happy to note that more
people every year arc recognizing the.
value of health and relaxation. Surely
—.with the country overrun with de
magogues—character, health, and
education are the safest investments
today.
