Friday the Russian government sent five, tons of gold through the streets of London on a truck with no armed men escorting: it, not even two or three detectives. The gold, worth more than two and a half million dollars, traveled through London like ordinary pig iron. It Is only fair to tell Russia's gov ernment that it wouldn't be wise to try that Jn any big American city. In New York you could see an armored car carrying $100,000 and ahead of it two Dolicemen on a motorcycle with a bullet proof shield in front of them.

SIB ARTHUR KEITH, head of the British association for the ad 1 vancement of science, says what we Vail mind, spirit or soul is a product of the material brain and dies with Sir Oliver Lodge, a greater scientist, but old, says: "The soul does not die with the body, the brain is an instrument used by the mind." To say that the soul is a product of the mind Is, according to Lodge, like calling Beethoven the product of a piano which Interprets, his music. Burn the piano and you will not destroy Beethoven. DUVEEN has bought another picture at another price record. For the painting "The Madonna and Child," by Raphael. He gave Lady Dcshorough $875,000.

If Britain wants it at cost it will stay in England. If not, some American will clndlv nav $1,000,000 for It. When you pay a million dollars for a. picture you get a beautiful painting, and you feel you have purchased a good deal of respectability, refinement and importance. That's comforting.

GARRETT P. SERVISS, able astronomer, says dirigibles will help astronomers, lifting giant telescopes high above earth into clear atmosphere. There might be some difficulty keeping the giant "eye" steady. At present, says Mr. Serviss, earth's biggest telescope is on Mount Wilson, with a lens eight feet in diameter.

Europe is working at a business, better profit. Such a lens, raised seven or eigne miles above the earth, would brln objects on the moon to within eight miles of the human eye THE SENATE approved a bill that now goes to the president, cut 1 1 air mail charges iu per csni. Yostmaster General New believes ii.at inwpr nrice will mean more ltllalnp.Qa hpttpp Tiroflt. The Manhattan elevated railroad in New York city never made any real money until the fare was reduced from 10 cents to five. The bill also permits the postofflce to make 10 year mail carrying contracts, which is sensible.

It doesn't pay to build air planes and train men for a four year contract. CENTURIES AGO, boats sailed cautiously from Mediterranean ports, keeping Jn sight of land, nav inff no compass Bold Phoenicians from the eastern end of the inland sea, traders that sold Solomon some of the wonderful things he put into his temple, sailed through the straits of Gibraltar, into he wild Atlantic, using stars in place of a compass, pushing on to what we call the British Islands. That was a wonder. The other day the Italian flier, Nobile, in bis dirigible, Italia, started through the air for the North I'ole. He took with, him a noss.

six feet long, to be dropped as near to the pole as possible, and the flag of Pope Pius. The earth is conquered, sea and air. Will men ever conquer outside paee? JAPAN! Of Ti 'ESE have driven Chinese out Tslnan as a bull terrier would irive kittens out of a kitchen. The Japanese know how to tight and like it. One look at the face of Captain Nematsu.

the leader of Japanese iroops, compared with the face of the Chinese general, Feng Yu Hsiang, explains why the' Japanese beat tho Chinese so easily. Jf GERMANY, a Russian, convicted Of killing his four year old boy, waa decapitated, according to law. Noar it Is proved that other men committed the crime. The man beheaded was Innocent. A 'society op posrtl to capital punishment makes capital of this.

Killing an innocent man occasionally is not the worst thing about capital punishment. That form of punishment makes the law imitate itio murderer, keeps alive tho truth, "Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth." Men should abolish capital punishment to civilize themselves.

Time for Dad to Get on His Own in Matter of Planes Young Model Builders "Going Up" Since Dad Has Taken To Monopolizing Son's Airplane Model Kit By MODEL AIRPLANE DIRECTOR (A. M. L. A. Coupon on Dads, this Isn't altogether fair.

Berks airplane model builders are getting "up In the air" in more ways than one. They some of them, that Is want to settle this "Dad business' right. They're glad Dad Is Interested' in the models. They're tickled when Dad brings home a kit for them to use In making a plane. And they welcome suggestions from Dad.

BUT the fellows are beginning to think It's time Dad gets his own kit. Here's an example of what has caused their criticisms. It happened the other day. "Dad" "brought homo an Indoor endurance model kit the other day. (This is just one of the Dads).

Forgot the Boy "Here you are, son," said Dad. "You can start work on that plane right now. Let's open It and see what it looks like." Well, you have ono guess who did the work on that plane. Sure, it was Dad. He got so interested in it that he forgot he'd brought the kit home for his son.

Of course, tho boy got another kit, but that isn't the thing. The fellows want to make those planes themselves. That's about nine tenths of the fun. Watching somebody elso make them or fly them doesn give ono o.uarter the kick there Is in doing It yourself. Let Dad Do Hit Own The Dads can malt their own planes if they wish to do so.

And a good many of them are doing it right now. But they ought to keep them as their planes.
