The world has never known sach a miracle as the miracle of the radio. And n.o ma 4 n living: knows what radio and moving pictures combined are destined to do for education. As railroads shortened men’s jour neys, and telegraphy shortened trans- mission of messages, so radio and moving pictures will make shorter by more than nine-tenths the journey along the tiresome road of knowledge. MacMillan, 3,700 mijes away in the Arctic ice, is called up and interview ed by radio, answering the Associated Press questions with his own broad- casting apparatus. - Later, when he starts flying, Mac Millan will be able to answer quest ions by radio while in flight. If men can do that now, how soon will they talk through the ether to those cosmic flying machines, ‘ the planets, floating in space? No static or other trouble presum ably, once you get outside this earth’s atmosphere, only about 500 miles deep. FLORIDA BANKS CARE UTTLE FOR MONEY Have Few Places To Invest Money Already On "Deposit, Gray Court ' Banker is .Told. % Gray Court, Aug. 25.—Money is not wanted! A place like that has proba bly never been heard of before, but such is the story grafted northward from Florida and told here today by Carroll D. Gray, widely known ban ker, upon his return from Florida. Mr. Gray, who is cashier of the Bank of Gray Court, has just retum- 4 from a trip of several weeks to Aami, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Fort Myers, Sarasota and othe rcities. He went largely upon a mission of inves tigation and partly of pleasure, but not with the intention of locating in Florida. However, he had many in teresting things to tell of what he saw and heard while there. Being a banker, Mr. GrayMvas most interested in the financial conditions of the cities he visited and made in quiry into these conditions in a num ber of cities. In Miami, for instance, die declared the bankers were too busy to talk with a-person and that depositors fairly fought as they wait-' ed their turn to pass before the tel ler’s window. While Mr. Gray was not so inform ed by any banker of Miami, he was told by a number of influential busi ness men of Miami, that'the banking institutions of that city did not care for any more deposits, having as much money as they could conveni ently care for. He saw from the published statements of the banks of Miami that two of the largest bank ing houses there had on deposit more than $40,000,600 each. Other banks had large sums in proportion. The question of placing the money that was deposited was the one perplexing bankers, Mr. Gray said he was told by a number of persons. At Sarasota, a new town is being developed by the Ringling interests, a bank clerk told of a man coming in and depositing 30 $1,000 notes or a total of $30,000. Many other large sums are deposited in casjh. Hun dreds of other persons come to Flori da and deposit checks as large as $210,000 is was said. Mafty go to Florida for the purpose of buying if a favorable opportunity presents it self while others carry along their savings only foy an emergency but often t place that! in a bit of Florida real estate. Asked as to what he thought of Florida, Mr. Gpay said he did not think the so-called “boom” would burst any time soon, because of the large amotunt of construction now under way. At Miami, for instance, he counted eleven skyscrapers under actual construction, to say nothing of the smaller buildings being construct ed. < ' The fact that the banks of Florida were fairly bulging with money and did not care for the small deposits as he was told in a number of cities, impressed Mr. Gray' more keenly than any other fact.

VB V "Outs Uttie-help$mn&~ mill SUBSCRIBE FOR THE CHRONICLE An inVention from New Zealand sends high explosives through the air in torpedoes guided by wireless. These air torpedoes operate as do water-borne torpedoes used to de stroy battleships at Sea. And the New Zealand air torpedo can be launched against an enemy, flying ship, battleship or city one hundred miles away and wreck the object against which it is steered by wireless. The United States should get that invention and be ready with it. The motto of this country should be: -' "Be friendly with the whole world. “Be READY for the whole world.” All over the United States the average age of man is increasing. Every year saved in adult life means an increase in the natlcn’s wealth. It costs money to bring up children, as well as effort and anxiety. In the state of New York the aver age age has risen from twenty-four years in 1840 to thirty years now. This means that common sense, sci ence and good doctors have added six years to the average age of every in dividual. The years are added in the MONEY EARNING period. Suppose the aver age adult’s work is worth to this na tion $10 a day, and that a low esti mate. You can figure out for your self how much it means in money to add six years to every adult’s life. Cut the $10 to $5. Cut that amount in half to allow for women and others not working, and you still have a sav ing, an increase of national wealth to the tune of *6venty-five millions of dollars a year. Ours is a civilization^ of interesting contrasts. For instance, consider the father who lives in two whitewashed rooms in Jersey City. Out of work, he was worrying about feeding seven children when the neighbor called in “to help his wife,” announced triplets, making the number of his children TEN. That father, waiting for the triplets to be born, read about a magnificent new mausoleum to be built by a com bination of churches, to cost three and one-half millions, and provide a resting place for corpses, properly embalmed, and put away in their little niches. That mausoleum will not have whitewashed walls, but a fine marble finish. When churches ask, “Why are we now crowded?” one answer might be, “Because, while mothers of children lack decent housing, you build $3,500,- 000 mausoleums for corpses that might as well be put in the ground to add to its fertility, or carried up the chimney of the crematory, putting back into the air the nitrogen they took from it.” „ Would the Fourjder of Christianity, who had not where to lay His head, subscribe to that mau soleum ? / FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH NOTES Dr. and Mrs. D.
