THE RADIO MIRACLE.
KILL AT 1(10 MILES*.
MAN LIVES LONGER.
MAUSOLEUM AND TRIPLETS.
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.

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 ?
