Show by Arthur Brisbane Mr. Hughes, Chief Justice So Dies an Indian Race Henry Ford's New Flan ! The Life of a Tick MR. Hughes is now chief justice and the people have In their service serv-ice a man of great ability, profound knowledge of the law, and highest I Integrity. They know that Mr. Hughes, j for the sake of public service, exchanges ex-changes a private law practice worth $500,000 a year for the small wages paid by the richest nation to its highest high-est Judges. Senator Norris and others opposed Mr. Hughes' confirmation, alleging that the newly appointed chief just-Ice just-Ice is too much in sympathy with great corporations. If that is so, he is In sympathy with the United States Government for great corporations are really tho government of the United Unit-ed States. Mr. Harry Carr says the death of an old Indian woman at San Juan Bau-tista Bau-tista means the end of the San Juan Indians, one of many California tribes, wiped out by the diseases, energy and acquisitiveness of white men. California's Indians, says Mr. Carr, came from Siberia, and could not resist re-sist laziness that came with this marvelous mar-velous climate and easy food supply. Least energetic of all Indians, these of California ate grass-hoppers and worms for their supply of proteld rather than wear themselves out catching bigger animals. The marvel is that modern white men resist this climate as they do, actually gaining energy after they get here. Until you come to this Coast, you have no idea what a topnotch real estate or automobile salesman can accomplish. This writer engaged a young automobile auto-mobile man, temporarily, and arranged arrang-ed for hla meals at the Biltmore "Sweetshop" Restaurant. On the second sec-ond day he had "dated" the lady raitress with golden hair, for a sam- 1 pie ride. On the fourth day he had sold her a car, on the installment plan. No California Indian ever did that. j Henry Ford may spend a hundred million dollars establishing schools that will enable studen;3 to "fit into life" when they come out at IS ycar3 of age. He says: "The reason we have so much crime and racketeering is because schools do not teach our young men how to fit in the world. Racketeering Is nothing but a revolt ugainst the present improper ineffect ual system of teaching." Schools at present are better than they were fifty years ago before racketeering rack-eteering became a science. Students should all learn to use their hands, particularly those not well adapted to using their heads. It would be waste of time for men of the type of Voltaire, Vol-taire, Milton, Moliere, Beethoven, to learn a trade, but they are scarce. Mr. Ford should modify his resolution resolu-tion to "devote the rest of his life to educational undertaking." Part of his effort should produce tractors of the caterpillar type. Plenty of power with the traction "track." Fully enclosed. Protected from dust. He ought especially to push ahead the aviation work in which he has already al-ready rendered great service. Until he has built his plane to carry 500 passengers, pas-sengers, and his pursuit plane to go 500 miles an hour, Mr. Ford's most Important work will remain undone. Many can teach trades, few can build machinery for hundreds of millions of people. Tne Northrop Air Corporation, division divi-sion of United Aircraft, has demonstrated demon-strated something new on the Pacific Coast. The new plane, the "Northrop all-wing," is a flying metal wing, free from the "parasite wind resistance" of struts and other encumbrances, to retard the plane's motion. Able engineers interested in the new plane believe that, with the same horsepower, it will increase speed by from 25 to 30 per cent. Physical limitations of the "Texas cattle tick" arouse the sympathies of proud man, because of his .mental limitations. The State of Mississippi has built a double row barbed wire fence 60 miles long, the two rows of fencing fifteen feet apart. Ticks, falling from cattle on the far fide of the fence, can never reach Mississippi cows, because the tick with his eight legs travels so slowly, that it would take him one year to go ten feet. And he lives only about eight months. Man living about three score and ton. with all his struggling, travels ' only a few Inches intellectually, in i';.ai period and dies without getting oiiywhere, "mentally," and dies, as he v.-us born, wondering. Iu C'n'na thousands die every day ' c. cold and starvation.

But to : ike t-ver,';se westerner news of China is like news from the planet Mars. It does not seem real or Important. i I |
