THIS WEEK . I By Arthur Britbmm Mr. Brisbane's editorials are published as expressions of opinions of the world's highest salaried editor and The Chronicle does not necessarily endorse all of his views and conclusions. President Coolidge will spend his vacation in the Went, in response to many invitations. He should drive in a big automobile from Kansas City to Seattle down to San Diego, fishing here and there. He would see millions of Americans that like him, I he biggest wars are soon forgotten. t Over a direct cable from the United StuUss to Germany, opened last week, President f'oolidgc wired I'tesidenl H indenburg his hope that i 'this additional means of communiea}l:on will promote mutual understanding and good will between the two rounhues," And I'resident Hindonburg replied most politely. Germany, i|id of an expensive fleet, expensive ftmnding army, ami extremely expensive t .l^aiser, attends to business and goe.-s ahead more rapidly . Hum any other country in Kurope.

One remained at the front door while the other two backed all ( mployes and customers into the rear >f the building, where they were concealed by a temporary partition "roctod while the hank is undergoing Impairs. Among the employes were | I). I.. Vickers, cashier and A. V. Hcni drick, teller. 4 | One of the robbers carried a cement, sack he had picked up on the sidewalk. His companions called him "Whitey." While "Whitey" held the sack, the other man. referred to as "Slim," dumped bundles of currency into the j bag, the two commenting or. various j topics -as they went along. They rej fused to touch the silver and other | coins. The lohber at the door played a (tactful role. As customers entered he ]ti-h<-:ed them to the rear, politely, decisively. His collection grew into it throng, as it was the busy hour. J. F.. Murfoe. a Pampa merchant, entered with a sack containing $1, 100 for deposit. A robber politely relieved him of the heavy sack and asked him if it was insured. When Murfee replied in the negative, the robber returned the money, remarking that he could not take it since it was uninsured. Mtirfee was then 'akin to the rear with his m >ney. In the street outside, a few doors tiom the bank tood a elo-ed auto' b !r, its engine tunning and two - 'uen standing beside it.

He was a powerful animal, but couldn't last because he didn't have a brain big in proportion to the size of his body. Civilization has developed a more powerful creature, which is the two-, legged billionaire, able to control and command the work of 200,000,000 men for one day. That billionaire will soon be numerous and the interesting question concerning him will be, "What about his brain?" Will it be big enough to keep him safe? The learned Dr. Sack, of Heidelberg University, studying thousands of Fgyptian mummies, finds that high living killed off rich Kgyptian* as it kills off rich Americans now. Foolish eating, lack of exercise, especially luck of deep breathing, have through the centuries been skimming the scum off the boiling pot of ci\ jlization. Mummies of the fifty dynasty show signs of tuberculosis, affecting the spine, and gout, swelling the joints. The supreme court decides unanimously that Texas' laws forbidding negroes to vote at Democratic primaries is unconstitutional, it is a most important decision, and not to the drouth oiily/'siiice it may mean federal control over local primaries. Where money is, men will dig/. It was proved in Italy, be(<jre Architects had learned how/,|^TnuKe great domes like that oj^r^t. Peter's hold themselves uj^ as they rose in the air. One jj^me was built and filled with yarlh to support it, as it rose, until the sides met at the top. Putting in the earth would be much less expensive than taking it out. So they mixed the earth beneath the dome with small coins of a total value much less than the cost of removing the earth. When the dome was finished the population was told it could bear away the coin-bearing dirt. Th*1 great dome stood empty. This country last year imported more than $80,000,000 worth of precious stones, $5,000,000 more than the year before. And those purchases were made without the assistance of the extinct race of bartenders, to each of whom a large diamond was as necessary as a white apron. M. Millet, French scientist, would tear down the honey bee's reputation built up by Maeterlinck, Lubbock and many others, back to Aristotle. The bee is a dull, mechanical creature, says Millet; it does not knowthat it poleni7.es flowers and blossoms, does not even know- which flowers have honey, thinks only of getting sugar. You can say the same of our human honey bees' of industry. They build up civilization, make wealth, , leisure and culture possible, but they don't know it. or don't care. Th-y also are "only looking for sugar." But like the bee, they are doing the wotk for which the Lord created them, and that's sufficient. | Wants-For Sale FOR RENT?Nicely furnished eightlooni house on Chesnut street, known as the Rurr.er home, is for rent and possession can be given 'immediately.
