Show THE BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH Earthquake Crushes Nicaragua Capital I HL J lr IC Ruins caused at Managua by the most disastrous earthquake In the history of the country. More than ,00t) persons lost their Uvea. BEVERLY HILLS.-W- ell all I know ia Just what I read in the pa-pers. Been so much calamity here the last week or so that Its hard to dig much cheerful n o u out of the news prints. Poor Knute Rockne so u-pset everybody thatwe Just cant get over it, especially those of us who had the good for-tune to know him. The more you think of him the more remarkable be becomes. I think his greatest teat was his last game, that was out here with University of Southern California. Here wa thought out here we had the greatest team that ever repre-sented the coast, tremendous Sta-dium filled, Notre Dame hadent lost a game in two years, and this was their last, it was the last tor a lot of tbelr big Stars who were grad-uating. Rockne was touted to lose. The night before over the radio be admitted that he dldent have much of a chance. "Savoldl is out; be was our mainstay. Then on the way out we loat our fullback by ill-ness. We have gone through a tough season, and we just couldeut stay on edge so long. The Boys had to have a let down. I have asked too much of them this sea son with the terrible schedule they bad, and it just Is not in human beings to keep up their pace till now. We have got to lose, and we want to lose to you in preference to anybody else. Its a long train trip , out here. Its --much warmer here than back Lome, and the heat Is against the boys, but we will Just give you the beat we got." Now what other coach on earth could give such a straightforward talk as that, and not have every . word swallowed hook, line and slnkerT Then get this last line he gave us that night before, "Now there Is going to bo a lot of heart-aches tomorrow afternoon after that game. Great big strong young men are coming into the dressing rooms and break down and cry. But my boys can take it a little easier because they dont expect to win, they have steeled them- - selves to the defeat." Weil here we are all packed In the stands, really pitying those poor boys from back there, and hoping that the California boys wouldent seriously hurt any of Uiem runnlfig over them on the way to the goal posts. Well on the very first play California fum-bled. Well from then on it was just too bad. Yod never saw a team beaten so cool and deliberate like, Notre Dame huddled for a change, and when they come out of it they would walk as slow to their places, and that got Cal's goat. They fin-ished by Notre Dame beating them 27-0- . It wasent the score, it was the deliberate and mechanical way they did it. . And here was a great thing he did, as each one of his Stars that would be taken out of the game in the last half and It was their last game for Notre Dame, he would jump up from the bench and go out and meet him and hug him, you could just see the affection that he' had for each one, and it was con-veyed to that whole audience. I will never forget when little Carl-deo- , (perhaps the greatest field General that ever played football) left the field. He had played a whale of a game, handled bis team uncanny. There is a lot of drama la a player like that leavine the field for his last time as a College player. I think Rockne pulled him out just to get him that great hand as he left the Stadium. Well when old "Rock" went out and put his arms around that little Carideo and walked him off the field It wasnt an ovation, it was hurricane. We dident know then what we was looking at We thought it was the exit of another great Quarter-back. But we was looking at "3V tbe exit of WMA--. Knute - Rockne. plW-- g lie was hugging 'W his last Player, i J fine young men all over the U. . fi S. can feel back A and che.sh the SjC--V , hug they got on F -- T1 their last game 51- from "Rock." f y , But it waa little :y f JfT Carideo that got ,: the last hug. Here he was right on the crest. He had beaten the Coasts great team for a two year no defeat record for Notre Dame. But the whole of California loved him, for that night on the radio he apologised for the size of the score . and said, "I had to make it big for Coach Jones will make It bigger lean that against me next year." One lone Ranch Hand in Kansas was supposed to have been the sole witness to Rockne's passing. But Ifiata not so, eighty thousand of rr aw his passing out, his last tarnt, and It will stick with us tnrougU life. 1931. McMaufiu Srr.dict. lac) f Machines That Are Almost Human UyE.C. TAYLORJ Mechanical Men FOR ages man has usplred to with tiia hands mechani-cal men, birds, beasts and Hsb that would perform at his bidding. Todajr there are mechanical men that see, hear, (eel and talk. Planes have been flown without a human hand touching the controls. Boats have been sent on voyugus without a human being aboard. More wonderful than these, even, are "thinking machines" that sur-pass the human brain In ability to solve difficult problems. Man has constructed marvelous machines that can perform all his tasks better than he can perform them himself, and hundreds of these machines are In coustant use throughout the country. But they lack one thing that has placed man above other animals. They cannot really think for themselves. They must be directed by their human creators. A short time ago the duke of York was scheduled to upon the an-nual exhibition of model engineers In Royul Albert hall, London. He found he could not get back from Scotland In time, so ("apt. V. R. Richards, a British scientist, built a mechanical man to take tbe duke of York's place. Eric Robot o Captain Richards named his creature of wheels and batteries stood before the gather-ing of engineers and scientists, spoke for four minutes, and then sut down. He could have spoken for four houra or four days, bis In-ventor said. Eric Robot later toured the United States. He didn't smoke, chew or swear, and made many friends. In appearance he looked like a knight in armor. He weighed 140 pounds and was built entirely of aluminum. He could do every-thing but walk, appareutly. He talked, and rose and sat down when told to. He had a set of aluminum teeth to aid his voice, and his speech was much belter than that of most lecturers. He was operated by electricity, of course, and his highly sensitive mechanism responded to sound. When spoken words reached his microphone, the vibrations started machinery Inside blm and carried out the spoken directions. He even gave Imitations of George Ber- - n n twt Utt.i.M anil II CI IVulla riurfno II Ut VI kJllfl VT CHM4 I. V. 'O uw (! his appearance on the lecture plat-form. The "televox," which gave the power of speech to mechanical men, was Invented by R. J. Wens-le- y of the Westlnghouse Electric and Manufacturing company in 1928. Previously mechanical men could only hear and obey. Mr Wensley found a way to make them talk back. He demonstrated the robot's abil-ity to answer by attaching a tele-vo- x to a telephone ; "Televox speak-ing." Mr. Wensley's televox can even Initiate a conversation. If some- - thing goes wrong, for Instance, at a power substation where it Is on duty, it con lift a telephone re-ceiver and say: This la televox calling for Main 5000. When the telephone connection has been completed, Mr. Televox will continue the conversation In buzzer code. In place of vocal cords, the me-chanical man has a talking film Introduced among Its vital organs. The words to be spoken are record-ed on a film, and are projected when the mechanical man Is called upon to speak. "Itastus" is another mechanical man produced by the Westinghouse laboratories. He was built by Dr. Philips Thomas, and has per-formed before scientists several times. Rnstus not only can answer back, start conversations, sit or stand as 'he is bidden, but can answer ques-tions and greets his callers almost like a human being. He Is built to resemble a man, with legs and arms and a head, with a face like a dark-skinne- minstrel. Hence bis name. Eric Robot and Rastus, or course, are for exhibition only. They were built to aliow how near to creat-ing a mechanical man science ba progressed. Tbe devices that oper-ate titmn, however, are In daily use in industries, safeguarding lives and guarding property. Ii3 ltll. Wertera Newsmmir Un'on.) This Week hj ARTHUR BRISBANB The Late Speaker Honor to Michigan Important to ParenU And a Petrified Elephant The death of Speaker Longworth will be deeply regretted In Wash-ington and throughout the country. He was able, witty, good natured, tactful. His colleagues liked him, the Nation respected him for his ability and character. The country feels deep sympathy for his widow, daughter of Presi-dent Theodore Roosevelt. Cltiiens of Michigan honor their State by refusing, in overwhelming majority, to restore the death pen-alty in their State. That penalty, abolished in Michi-gan eight-fo- ur years ago, ia an Imitation by the State of the mur-derer's tactics. The installation of an electric chair in the State Pris-on at Jackson would have been a blot upon the State, a backward step for a great commonwealth that has not known capital punishment for 100 years. It Is Important for parents to know that the dreaded pollmyletis, or infantile paralysis, attacks chil-dren mainly through the nose. The germ infects water, and can be taken through the nose passages by children swimming In unclean water. So says Doctor Weyer of the Willard Parker Laboratories. The germ is probably introduced into the nose most often by the fingers. Children should be taught from infancy to keep their hands away from mouths and noses. In-fluenza, "colds," a dozen Infections start after being planted on the mucous membrane. A Chinese proverb forbids you to touch your nose or mouth, "ex-cept with your elbow." Children and adults should remember that. A hugs petrified elephant with tusks six feet long, a foot and a half thick, la found in the bed of a dry lake on an almost inaccessible mountain in the Mexican State of Nayarlt. Much bigger than any we know, this Mexican monster lived and died far from Washington. But unless Washington' Republican elephant manages to do something between now and 1932 about un-employment, Nation-wid- e crime, racketeering, etc., it may find it-self much like Its petrified Mexican brother. Germany and Austria continue negotiations for a "customs pact," to help each other In business. England dislikes the idea, al-though theoretically in favor of free trade. France frankly hates it, for to-day's "customs pact" may become tomorrow's "war pact." And the pact might spread to the Balkan countries, even to Russia, creating a "bloc" for the under-do- g. America entered the war four-teen years ago. Let's hope it will be at least a hundred and forty years before we go Into another, especially into one that we didn't start. The war to keep out of war Is to keep out of foreign entangle-ments. George Washington may be and, possibly, not as wise as Woodrow Wilson. But he knew that, if you keep away from a man, you are not apt to fight with him. The Reverend Dr. Reisner ob-jects to Sunday loudspeaker ad-vertising from the sky by airplane, and his objection is sound. The sky belongs to everybody. No one should be permitted to write advertising on the clouds, or bellow advertising copy into unwilling ears, on Sunday especially. "The Heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth His handiwork." It shouldn't be made, by loudspeaker, to declare the glory of a dress goods concern, or anything else. What should be the first and last loudspeaker announcement from the Heavens will come In due time, when Gabriel summons us to rise, and explain ourselves. Yaqul Indians, In their villages, celebrate Easter in a way that whiter Christians criticize as bar-barous. The whites contrast the rock sepulcher In each village, repre-senting the tomb of Christ: three little girls in white, representing angels, with the nearly naked Indian braves, their bodies streak-ed with paint, faces hideously masked, dancing and chanting be-fore the altar caudles. Those whites should know that a mixture in religions is the rule. Each new religion, in its turn perpetuates the beliefs and customs of religions preceding it Scores of religions before Christianity had their trinities, miraculous births resurrections. Christianity, today! borrows costumes, insignia and titles from pagan religions and governments of long ago. Careful investigation shows that because of unemployment, the wages earned by American workers In 1930 were nine thousand million dollars below the earnings of 1929. - 1910. by Kiat Fntww Srmdicau, iac j Unnaa( Vlow nlul (flcaa STOMACH UPSET, SOUR?

Fire Statistics Fire statistics reveal that the total annual loss by fire is approximately 10,000 lives and the ratio of deaths to Injuries is 1 to 2. While only a portion of casualties occur In fires, it has been estimated that more than 60 per cent of the total number of fires Involving damage to property each year take place in the home, and, according to statistics, there is a home fire every four minutes. De-fective flues, chimneys and heating plants and sparks on the roof are reported as the "known originating causes of largest fire losses" during 1929. During the same year the na-tional property loss traceable to these sources was estimated at $33T 000,000.

Teaching Turks to Play The American gift for play la to be Instilled In the children of Asia Minor by a young Turkish girl, Guzlne Ihsan, daughter of a for-mer governor of Smyrna. Armed with a master's degree from the department of hygiene and physical instruction of Welles-le-y college, she has returned to Angora to train teachers of phys-ical Instruction who will spread American methods throughout An- - atolla. "Of couise Turkish children have always played," Miss Ihsan says, "but they have played as in-dividualists, a lonely sort of play. What I want to spread In Turkey is the gift for teamwork for which America is famous." She also hopes to organize gym-nastics for adults, especially for the too sedentary officials of the Turkish capital. Interest Fallacy Probably the greut majority of jnthlnking business men believe that Interest Is low when money Is plentiful, and high when money is scarce. This view, however, is fal-lacious and the fallacy consists u forgetting that plentiful money raises the demand for loans just as much as it raises the supply. Therefore it has Just as much tendency to raise Interest as to lower it And the Porcupine 5milad Two dogs In Nobleboro, Maine, undertook to subdue a porcupine. The subduing was the other way around, as the porcupine walked off with his remaining quills erect. He had left a good many In the pelts of the dogs. One of the dogs took ether four times before the quills were all extracted and he is now cogitating on what kind of wood t buck tl t was anyhow.
