All thta I pick uj> (Topi the coa ver.udlons which I overhear at my club from men who float things. But 1 couldn't do it myself; there's an art in it ; to borrow money, big money* you have to wear year clothed In n certain way, walk in a certain way, and have about you an air of solemn ity and majesty ? something like the atmosphere of a Gothic cathedral. Small men like me and you, my dear reader, especially you, tsiu't do It. * We feel mean about It, and when we. get the money, even If It Is only ten dollars, we give ourselves away at once by wanting to hustle off with it too fast. The really big man in this kind of thing can borrow half a million, button It up in Ids chest, aud then draw on his gloves and talk easily about the League of Nations and the prospect of rain. 1 admit I couldn't do it. If I ever got that half a million dollars I'd beat It out of the bank ns fast as a cat going over a fence. ? Stephen Leaeock In Harper's Magazine. Einstein Theory Tested I'rof. Dayton Miller Is doing some work at tlie Mount Wilson observatory near L?e Angeles \yhieh may shake tliQ fouudationa of the Einstein theory. The results indicate that the earth travels through the ether. Einstein himself admits that If these results are confirmed the theory will be un-' tenable, because according to it such mot lou would never be detected from the earth. The experiments vfere first made from an underground chamber, i'rofessor Mlchelaon of Chicago uni versity made similar experiments. At first the results substantiated the Einstein theory. But Professor Miller then made similar experiments at Mount Wilson, which Is about a mile in height. This time he found that the results varied with the altitude. Pathfinder Magazine.

(\, Nov. 23, 1926. ' Door Headers: ? 1 spent five days and four dollars i in Florida last week., Went on one of J those lot-buying tours, and the fell6wj who took mo lost $104.53 on me. ^ I saw u "lot" but did not buy onl'*. I stood on u nice little 60-foot lot in a town about the site of your fiat, that could have been bought that day for $76,000.00, and it didn't coat me a cent to stand on it. Guess you could buy that same lot today for some thing like $126,000.00. It cost nearly 12 dollars in 1933, Everybody seems to be already in Florida or on their way down. Ths country is one seething mass of hustle, bustle and unrest. Hot dog stands predominate, real estate offices are a closo second, and filling stations come third. Nothing else seoms worthwhile. The old and the young; and the fat and the lean and the rich and tho poor are all down there getting rich. A person won't talk to you unless you let him talk real estate. Folks are too busy to go?to churchy. or die, or sleep or any thing. Rut I saw no real land' shortage. In fact the land seems to be holding out pretty well. Of course they are mak ing new land every day by pumping it out of the ocean. If every lot that is being offered for sale is sold and a house built on each one of them and 2 people live in each of those houses it will take the entire popula tion of the United States and Asia to populate them. The situation is mysterious. I nak ed a man what a certain lot was worth and he told me, and I told him 35 dollars was too much for that lot, and he said he never said 35 dollars, but said he would take 36, thousand dollars for it, so I didn't spend any money on him. You can buy a pretty ?little lot big enough to bury. a 6 months old grasshopper on situated 7 miles from anywhere for around 46 hundred dollars. Nobody seems to be investing. They are all buying for the purpose of investing the other fellow's money in the said lot tomor row. Floridians hoot at the idea that there is any boom down there. They say its just normal, natural growth. You see, Florida was not discovered until late in the spring of 1921. A few* real estate agenis were out pos sum hunting one night and they stumbled right into Florida and dis covered her, and as soon as the glad news was spread abroad it seems that every real estate promoter, de veloper, "seller, operator, and schemer flocked to this new land and cut it up and put in on the counter and offered it for sale. The price has been advancing at the rate of about 75 per cent per day ever since. One man down there -fsold a promote/ 1,760 acres and the promoter sold 2 acrds of it in 10 weeks for enough to pay for the whole tract. I'm no Florida knocker. All I've got to say is this: I don't and oan'i understand why land is fo high down there, but it must be worth what they ask for it as^ spitiebody is always ready to buy it. I'm sorter like the > old boose artist was who wandered into a fish market one afternoon: He hud 4 drinks, and his eyes hail become somewhat eclipsed, lie spied a fish hanging up on the wall that, measured 4 feet in length. lie looked at that fish and rubbed his eyes, and looked at it again, and then said: "Whoever caught you is a dam-lie." 1 enjoyed my trip immensely. Had to sleep two nights with a drummert He was mighty bad to sleep with. In fact, if I had my preference, I believe I'd just as soon sleep with an alli gator. That drummed ought to havo been a contortionist, But I got even with him: I snored like thunde* every night we slept in the same room. If Florida holds its present grasp on the people of the country, her pop ulation will be around 110 millions in 10 years, and the rest of the states of our country will have less' than 5 thousand people in them, ami they won't have over 2 dollars apiece. I have neither the money nor the nerve to tackle the Florida situation. McMahon-Brewer John M.
