You ok man, the world'* population
is increasing ?t the rate of 2,000,000

not have had vision* of 20th century
skycrapers flanking both ' .side* of

thoroughfare in the world. Land
along this street sells for as much
as $.'100,000 a front foot and some
of it is not for sale at any price.
Land in your home town may not
become as valuable as lower Brouaiway

A Near Call
The folks out in Walnut Grove
school district had an alarmingly
( lose call last Wednesday night, when
gathered in the schoylhouso to wit- I
ness the closing exercises. As in the j
feaiful tragedy near Camden an oil
lamp got out of place and instantly
oil-fed flumes leaped high toward the
ceiling. Also instantly a stampede
began, but fortunately some man
present had the wit to smother the
lamp at once under his coat, thereby j
checking the fire, while others were
cool enough to see that the fire was
not going to get away from control
and managed JLu, ai rest tin- wild stampede
for exits.
This story ought to.be circulated
throughout the stab* with the warning
it gives. A crowded school auditorium
lit by oil lamps is dangerous.
There is no disputing this after two
dnuotHtra;i.onrv such as we have had.
V\ lu r.o better lighting ,js to _ be
had. then specific precautions' relatives
to oil lamps and the tiling lb be done
in case of trouble should be definite'y
'charged upon some trustworthy committee,
set to keep alert watch as the
program goes forward.

Mr. lirisbane's editorials are published

editor and The Chronicle does not

fifty eitjca in the United States increased
their postal receipts in April
more than 15 per cent over the same
month a year ago.
Unfortunately, figures concerning
use of air mail would be discouraging.
It is necessary to warn ambitious
Cities anxious for air mail service that
to get it they must support it. If not
they will lose it.
The government cannot run an expensive
air mail service merely because
cities desire it.
I'ostmasterGeneral New arid President
Coolidgo are anxious to encourage
profitable commercial flying
through development of the air mail.
Hut cities and citizens must do their
pari.
One air route recently established
in. the South, for instance, serving
four important cities, started off
magnificently, with receipts in the
filst brief period exceeding $2,000,
ample to cover expenses. On the
tenth day the receipts had dropped to
$70, to meet an expense of $400.
The financial solution will be found
eventually in carrying passengers as
will as mail, an arrangement to
which the .administration would gladly
consent; The first problem would
be to find the passengers. Americans
largely support flying routes in
Kurope, occupying more than half the
| seat in flying machines between Lonj
don and Paris in the season. Bui
i they seem less inclined to patronize
I flying in their own land.
i Kxuemel.x important is the test for
jcancer ' recently presented at the
[ French Academy of Medicine. If its
discoverers do not exaggerate, this
j U .st, providing a reliable reaction in
I cancer cases, will enable doctors to
,-rtVc thousands annually that now
die by diagnosing caivrer at the very

( Only twelve thousand years from the
Stone Age, the human race has scores
of millions of years ahead, years of
ceaselessly increasing knowledge.
And H?'? An Atbf^t
A well-dressed stranger, Intelligent,
apparently highly educated, atood in
the office doorway, and, ere he apoke,
a cursory glance at the face of the
man gave riae to the thought that
there was lacking in hia nature?in
hia very life-some aoftening, cornforting
influence which almost all
other men feel. The atranger apoke,
telling hia name and saying he waa
an nthciat. His mental attitude, aa
he outlined it in well-rounded aenti
noes, aroused a feeling of sympathy.
He talked as perhaps would a
man whose heart is torn by an unutterable.
l0nging, and, finding no
surcease, he turns to an effort at destroying
what others hold most
sacred.
The man, II. rS. England, of Detjoit,
explained that he hud come here
to engage in a debute and waa ready
to depart the* city, feeling his work
ut an end.
His conversation gave the impression
thut he was as a man . who is
stepping doubtfully into the dark, his
hands groping ut frail nothings, his
mind beset by torturing imaginings,
his eyes staring into that darkness
which he admitted meant for him an
eternity of oblivion.
He spoke of the courtesy which had
been shown the stranger within the
gate, of the kindness of the people
here and of "Jesus and the other
superstitions" and the only mental
reaction of his . hearer jvas the
thought, how sad a world would .this
be if God and Jesus should go away,
and, brought thus into so impressive
a contrast, the Christian faith became
a still sweeter blessing.?^-Charlotte

Ham "Wizard" Pays Fine.
As a result of the decision in the
Res-order's Cotwd. last Friday, John
Elbridge Ferry, the ham- wizard of
high finance paid over into the coffers
of the city a hundred dollars, and also
all of his stock of "fresh country
cured hams" which he had not yet
disposed of to the trusting housewives
of the city. Twenty odd of the
housewives appeared before the Recorder
and made claims of shortage,
and were reimbursed the amounts
which they had lost in the deal, and
Perry and his wife were allowed to
take their car and seek other more
congenial climes. It was not known
how many more of the good ladies.of!
the city had suffered from this slick
salesman, but the balance preferred j
to lose than to "tell their troubles to
a policeman". Some of tfie sterner
sex who had been involved in the
trouble thought the ladies should not
be.too hard on their teacher, as the
lesson was a good, wholesome one and
will not.be easily forgotten. Some of!
I the grocers offered for their week-end
sales hams guaranteed to be the Ar-j
J mour brand, same, as the 'ones sold'
earlier in the week, at a cut price of!
