WRIPS TO THE MOON
BY THE YEAR 2050 LIKELY
Earth dwellers will probably be
able to travel to the moon and to
communicate with their terrestrial
home by telephoning over a beam of
light in another 120 years, Dr. John
Q. Stewart, associate professor of
;astronomical physics at Princeton
University, declared recently at the
Brooklyn Institute of Arts and
Sciences.
In making what he called an
“educated guess” about the future
«of rocket travel through interplane-
tary space, he predicted that per-
sons would travel in a rocket ship
- at a speed of some 50,000 miles an
hour. Far sooner—and probably
by 1950—it is likely that a speed
of 1,000 miles an hour will be pos-
sible, he said.
Study of the increase in rate of
‘travel of passenger carrying vehicles
during the last century leads to a
guess that by the year 2050 suf-
ficient speed will be realized to over-
come the force of gravity, thus en-
abling trips to the moon.
“Sufficient energy to create these
speeds may be forthcoming from
several sources,” he declared. “At
present in the laboratory, minute
quantities of very .concenfrated en-
ergy stores have been obtained,
such as ionized hydrogen, which
contains a hundred times as much
energy as coal and oxygen. Triply
donized lithium contains sixteen
times as much energy again, No
one knows as yet how to make such
energies available for engineering
Purposes.”
Doctor Stewart declared that the
one theoretically feasible method of
journeying to the moon that has
been suggested is a vehicle propelled
on the principle of the rocket.
~ Such a ship, he believes, would
be spherical, perhaps 110 feet in
diame er. Projecting from it in all
«directions would be a dozen or more
canons. When one of these was
fired the ship would be propelled in
‘the opposite direction.
The ship- would weigh about 70,-
‘000 tons, of which 28,000 tons would
be shot from the guns to give pro-
pulsion. The crew would number
‘about sixty and a dozen or mole
might be carried on a two month's
~cruise. A desert would be the start-
ing place to pievent damage under-
neath the guns.
Once at the moon, Doctor Stewart
‘declared, communication by tele-
phone over a beam of light, as the
Kennelly-Heaviside layer might make
radio impossible. To return, the
ship would take off in the same
‘way that she left the earth, coast-
ing most of the way, because of
#the earth’s greater gravitational at-
“traction. But care would have to
be taken in landing, for if the ship
came down too fast over a city and
‘the 1ockets were fired to check
the fall it would be disastrous to
ithe people below.
After the lecture Doctor Stewart
displayed motion pictures of sunrise
on the moon which were taken at
#%he Princeton observatory.
GUARD STANDARD
OF MEAT SUPPLY
ing establishments contribute to the
‘focal meat supply for Pennsylvania
consumptica is not generally known,
officials of the bureau of animal
industry, Pennsylvania department of
agriculture, say.
~ There are more than 3,000 slaugh-
fer ‘houses in the Commonwealth
‘where animals are prepared for food
purposes. Many of these
located in remote rural districts and
are used only once or twice a week
‘during the warm months, but tle
aggregate yearly kills in establish-
ments where continuous inspection
is not maintained approximate 400,-
000,060 pounds.
The bureau of animal industry
‘undertakes to regulate sanitary con-
«ditions at these establishments and
fo safeguard the public meat supply.
‘During the first five months this
year, representatives of the bureau
found sixty-six of these establish-
ments defective, of which thirty.
seven were ordered closed when the
proprietors failed to meet the State
requirements.
The annual consumption of meat
in Pennsylvania is estimated at
-1,500,000,000 pounds.® Approximately
two thirds of this amount is dres-
sed and prepared under competent
veterinary inspection and may be
identified by the blue stamp of in-
‘spection which is placed on various
parts of the dressed carcass,
mmr rm tie
uMch is to be said in favor of the
‘Proposal to allow doctor’s bills as
a deduction when making income
{ax returns.
They certainly should be allowed
on the item of earned income.
_ For purposes of earning money
by personal effort, as distant from
merely collecting it, the human body
dis a machine subject to depreciation
‘and occasionally calling for repairs.
~ Depreciations and repairs are al-
lowed on income earning property,
and they should be allowed on earn-
‘ings by personal effort. z
It is bad enough to lose time and
‘wages through illness without having
to pay income tax on the doctor's
bills paid from the earnings of the
rest of the year.
__ The cost of ‘doing business is a
degal deduction when estimating the
‘profits of the business man, and the
wosts of keeping in good health
should be deducted from the taxable
dncome of the wage salary earner.
A full discussion of the question
“will be given at the annual National
“Progressive Chiropractic convention
now meeting in Los Angeles.
An earned income is the measure
of value rendered by the worker, to
“the community, and it should not be
Jpenalized by excessive taxation.

STRUCTURAL DECAY MAY
BE STOPPED BY PAINT.—
® Unprotected wood will weather
& and decay, unprotected steel will
® rust. Paint wards off these de-
$ structive processes for an almost
indefinite period of time. There
are many wooden houses scat-
tered through our seaboard
states that have been preserved
in good condition from 100 to
250 years by means of paint.
The great Forth bridge from the
time of its erection has been
maintained in the same way. It
requires three years for com-
plete painting, consequently
when the painters finish at one
end they immediately go to the
other end and start again.
Successful men in the business
world who own extensive prop- ¢
erty, whether their property be
factories, mills or any other
type, have learned and practiced
the economy of paint. The huge
industrial plants, for example.

are kept in perfect paint condi-
tion. What is an economy for
the large concern is economy
for the small. The preservative
for the commercial building is
also a preservative for the
home.
The time to paint is when
paint is needed, which means
every three to five years for a
wooden structure. There is no
economy in delaying because of
unfavorable money conditions.

Flattering Words Won
Clerk Salary Increase
Andre Geraud, “Pertinax” of the °
Paris press, said at a dinner in New
York:
“Perhaps 1 have been too candid in
my criticism of the American policy.
Flattery is pleasanter than candor.
Do you know the banker story?
“A banker was stone deaf. A clerk
came to him one day to ask for a
raise.
“‘I'm very glad, sir’ the clerk be-
gan, “to see that your deafness has
disappeared.’
“‘What? said the banker, with his
hand to his ear.
“The clerk repeated his words in 8
louder voice. :
“What?
“The clerk roared the words out at
the top of his lungs, but the banker
smiled and shook his head and pushed
forward a tablet with a pencil at-
tached to fit.
“‘I'm very glad,’ the clerk wrote,
‘that your deafness has disappeared.’
“ ‘Thank you, it has,’ the president
said graciously after he had read the
words on the tablet. ‘Now, young
man, what can I do for you?
Three minutes later the clerk
walked out with his salary doubled.—

“White House” Properly
Is “Executive Mansion”
The home of the President ot the
United States is the Executive Man-
sion, but it has been called the White
House for a great many years. Theo
dore Roosevelt was the first President
to have the name the White House sub-
stituted for the Execative Mansion on
stationery and documents issuing from
Presidential headquarters.
The building was originally con
| structed of Virginia freestone, grayish
delightful medium for use in garden
and since no one brick is a precise!
replica of another, it is therefore not |
monotonous.
Hard burned common brick is the
type of brick for garden decoration,
as they are impervious to any action
of the elements.
In the process of |
burning the brick. all that was de- |
structible in the clay was destroyed.
Walls of any type, plain or in pat- |
cern, solid or in openwork, may sur-
round the home. Recessed seats of
brick are charming, and they should
be so placed as to receive the shade
of sheltering trees. If brick steps
are employed, they should be laid in
good cement mortar, but the walks
can be laid without cement.
The mortar used in walls should be
colored to harmonize with the brick
in contrast to foliage and flowers.
But for the steps, where there is a
grass-grown terrace or slope, bright
colored bricks laid in white mortar
give better results.
How to Save Old Home
It cannot be stated too strongly
that the American home owner is very
careless and improvident in destroy-
ing many beautiful homes when it
would be the better part of econ.
omy to remodel, sell and build a home
in some other location which they par.
ticularly desire rather than to wreck
and build on the same location.
There is little sale on the markey
for homes which are not modern, and
if one expects to realize on the sule
of his old home, it is a very excel.
lent piece of business judgment to call
in an organization especially fitted
for this particular line of work and
secure an estimate on the remodeling
of the home before placing it on the
market.
These homes will be much more
quickly disposed of and at a much
better profit than would be the case
should they be sold in their run-down
condition,
How to Cut Fire Loss
Sound principles of building con
struction, rather than a desire for
certain conveniences which disregard
the factors of safety, would decrease
fire losses and contribute to true ecou-
omy. The bulk of the fire waste in
human lives and money is probably
due to this false economy of the pub-
lic in the construction of buildings.
It pays to employ sound principles
of building construction and to exer-
cise the greatest care in managing a
home in order to avoid fire losses.
Eternal vigilance is the price of safe-
ty from the fire demon.
How to Clean Upholstery
Make a very weak suds of mild soap
flakes and lukewarm water.
turkish towel in the water, then wring
out to remove all surplus moisture.
Place the towel smoothly over the up-
holstery to be cleaned, then beat with
a carpet beater. The towel will col-
lect the dirt and prevents dust from
flying around.
How Rubies Are Found
Sometimes rubies are found in the
free state, but most of them are found
in bands of crystalline limestone, as-
sociated with granitic and gneissose
rocks. The best rubies are found in
Burma. They are the most valued
of all gem-stones,
How to Remove Wall Paper
Wall paper may be easily removed
it it is first wet with water to which
alum has been added. Let it dry be
fore taking the paper off. Use as
much alum as the water will dissolve.
How Worm Travels
A worm’s body consists of over 100
segments, which are furnished with
tiny bristles, enabling it to wriggle

Dip a
in color. When it was restored after
the fire of 1814 the walls were painted
white to cover up the blackened parts,
and it came to beicalled the White
House. It has been painted white ever
since. George Washington favored
the name, “the Palace of the Presi-
dent,” but most people at first called
it simply “the President's House.”
James Fenimore Cooper liked that
name, too.
Evening Varies
The matter of when evening begins
depends entirely upon the region in
which one is, and the use that the peo-
ple of that region make of the word.
According to dictionary definition, eve-
ning, in a strict sense, is from sunset
until dark. Also, it may be deseribed
as the period during which the light
Is diffused by the reflections of the
sun’s rays from the atmosphere after
sunset—from sunset to dark night. As
generally understood, evening means
around five o'clock, and continues, in
some regions, until seven, and in
others, nine, when night sets in. Kng-
lish afternoon tea is invariably taken
at five o'clock, from which practice
the French have introduced into their
language the expression “un five
o'clock,” which designates the meal
taken at that time, which consists of
tea, toast and pastry.—Literary Di

Brief but Significant
A man who held the belie! that after
a youth had attained his majority he
should be taught to fend for himself
gave his son a sum of money and told |
him that henceforth he would have
to earn his own living.
The young man did no work, bu.
spent a riotous few months abroad,
and then found himself almost penni-
less.
His sole desire was to get home,
and he decided to send a wire.
He found he had only money sufh-
cient to pay for a message of four
words, so, after considerable thought,
he telegraphed to his father, “Fatted
calf for one!”

“Father” of Lawn Tennis
To Major Wingfield must be given
the credit for first realizing that lawn
tennis could be utilized to the needs
of society. If he was not the inventor
of the game he did, however, deposit
specifications in 1874 to obtain a pat-
ent for “a new and approved portable
court for playing the ancient game of
tennis.” The first balls used were
india rubber and were uncovered.
The rackets were wooden frames and
pear shaped. The oval-shaped racket
was not used until 1880.
Test for Hearing
The usual test fer determining the
question of how well a person can hear
is the ordinary speaking voice test, giv-
en at a distance of 20 feet; and the
whispering ‘voice test given at a dis
tance of 10 feet. These tests are giv:
en so that the examiner can determine
the ability of the person to repeat
words which he has given at 20 feet
and whispered at 10 feet. The tests
mentioned are merely average tests,
and ear specialists employ more ac-
curate methods.
Underground Church
The picturesque crowd, the variety
| of costumes and the scene in the open
market place at Serajevo on market
day baffles description. One of the
quaintest in all Jugoslavia is the
little Servian church in Serajevo built
in the Sixteenth century after the
Turks had overrun the country. It
was sunk below the level of the street
go its roof would not be visible from
without and hidden behind a high
wall to avoid suppression by the M«
hammedans.
"MYSTERY FARM FIRES
BLAMED ON BACTERIA.
Besides being blamed for the
spread of disease, germs may soon
be convicted of arson. Disastrous
farm fires that start by so-called
“spontaneous combustion,” may be
caused by the action of microbes.
This is the belief "of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
which is investigating the subject.
It has set up an experimental farm
at Beltsville, Md.,, where the con-
ditions under which such fires take
place may be reproduced as exactly
as possible.
Fires occur in hay, grain, feeds,
fertilizers and farm manures with
no known cause. It may be that
bacteria, always to be found in
abundance on such products, gen-
erate heat even up to 160 degrees

Pennsylvania oil wells, which
many government experts predicted
before the war would be depleted by
1932, are still a vastly important
source of revenue to the State,
And instead of declining last year
they showed a big increased out-

today when the United States Bu-

Pennsylvania ranked eighth of the
