Show This Week by Arthur Brisbane Good Times Ahead Give Success a Chance Respect the Cow A Monster in Ice Walter Sherman Gifford, head of the gigantic American Telephone and Telegraph Company, expects good times to drive out bad times, soon. His opinion is imDortant' for the telephone company, reaching reach-ing everywhere and everybody, is well informed. Mr. Gifford thinks that we are going to see such prosperity us never was, and we may enjoy a sort of Utopia, with the spirit of service and good will governing big business. It's a lovely picture, but let us .lope better times will come without with-out waiting for the Utopia. That vill not come until human nature ;hall have changed, say in 10,000 eais, probablyly longer. A decision, important to the moving mov-ing picture industry, is announced ;y the Supreme Court. Ten of the oiggest companies are said to be breaking the anti-trust lav. The Supreme Court knows. Bull .et us hope that nothing will be jene to destroy prosperity in this great industry, that now leads the .vorld. Even if moving picture -non are breaking the anti-trust law, which is more or less of a fossil, it is a comfort to remember that they are also breaking the hearts of competitors in France, Germany, England and all over the world. If we have something successful, like automobiles or movies, let us j jive it a chance. When you see a cow, contentedly ! changing grass into milk, or mourn- ' fully mooing for her calf, make a ' respectful bow. For she, the cow, i is "the biggest industry" in the Un'-! ted States. j Talking to the National Co-opera- 1 tive Milk Producers' Federation Thomas II. Mclnnerey shows that! the value of w-ealth produced by the American cow amounts to Si -000,000.000 a year. It is an indus- ! ; try greater than steel, greater than ; automobiles, by far. ! Mr. Mclnnerney. who is the pres-J ident of the National Dairy Prnd-ucis Prnd-ucis Corporation, selling 100.000.001 pounds of butter a year, and SJO0,-000.000 SJO0,-000.000 worth of all milk product.-,.: believes lhat some of the monry and labor saving devices now ap- plied to other industries can be ap-: plied to milk production, and proposes pro-poses to help that along. ! It mr.y surprise you to know that 'the- fountain pen in your waistcoat pocket is probably made of milk, all but the metal part. This news will keep scientists from sleeping. On Glacier Island, near Cordova, in Alaska, a strange creature has been found imprisoned in a block cf ice. It looks like a giant lizard with fur, in perfect condition. j The head is six feet long, the total length is nearly fifty feet, j Millions of years ago probably be- """" fore men had appeared on earth that creature was locked up in solid sol-id ice and preserved through the tens of thousands of centuries. Heart, lungs are all awaiting scientific sci-entific examination. The find will add an important chapter to man's knowledge of things as they once were. In Chicago two men, one with four children, one with two, both Jut of work a long time, tried to steal turkeys, and were as unsuccessful unsuc-cessful as they had been, trying to get jobs. Policemen killpri -Frori Bernard, as he fled from a butchi-shop, butchi-shop, with the turkey that never .eached his four children. Joseph Martin was killed by the owner of i, butcher shop, and his two children chil-dren will have a funeral, and no turkey. Property, turkeys includ-od, includ-od, must be protected. How marv elous it would be, if wo could attend at-tend to criminals in the million dollar dol-lar class as well as we attend to :urkey thieves. Prohibition enforcement official;; and northern Federal judges sny that home brewing of beer and mak mg of wine from grape juice are legal. Tire Federal Judge at Tampa, Tam-pa, Florida, saye manufacturing or possessing any alcoholic beverage n a home is illegal. Government agencies, judges, en forcement officers and others should agree on what the law is, if possible. possi-ble. To have different sets of laws lor different states would make confusion worse. Warden Lawes, the head of New York's Sing Sing prison says the flillicully about gangsters, racketeers racket-eers and bootleggers is the fact that they are on friendly or at least non-hostile terms with the police. po-lice. According to Mr. Lawcs, 10 000 New York racketeers are known' to lie police, who do nothing about t. and this complicates the situa tion. If the watchdog won't bite the burglar, the burglar won't worry. !
