EARLY NEWS SPEED
When Nathanlal Uounsavelt of the
Alexandria (Va.) Herald printed confidential
news ubout tho impending
federal embargo in the War of 1812
an express rider horsebacked from
Washington to Dostpn in what was
then an unprecedented short time of
79 hours to warn scores of New England
vessels to put to sea before the
ports closed. As a result, Uounsavelt
was haled before the bar of the House
of Representatives and ordered into
custody when he refused to tell the
source of his scoop. John C. Calhoun
charged that John Randolph of Virginia
was the "leak."
In 1933 Gerard Hallock and David
Hale, Joint proprietors of the New
York Journal of Commerce, established
a pony Express with eight relays
between Philadelphia and New York.
This enabled them to publish congressional
proceedings a day ahead of the
other Gotham papers. Rival dalles
were quick to follow suit, transmitting
news from Washington to New
York in twenty hours against the government's
mail time of forty-four
hours. Uncle Sam later took over
the pony express. Then came the
railroads to spin their steel networks.
The first telegraphic flash, "What
hath God wrought?" sent from the
old Supreme court chamber in the
Capitol to Baltimore in 1844, revolutionized
news transportation. It was
the practicability of Morse's instrument
which led to the establishment
of the Associated Press, United Press,
Universal Service, International News
Service and other wire services.
Sholes' invention of the typewriter i
in 1873 was a godsend to quick chron-!
icling, and two years later Bell gave
us the telephone. Bill Collins, superintendent
of the Senate press gallery,
remembers when a correspondent
stood at the wall-type phone there for
hours, reading the names of the dead
In the battleship Maine tragedy. This
was the occasion of the sending of
the longest news dispatch locally?
125,000 words?to the New York Sun.
Toduy 55 typewriters, 40 telephones
and three-score telegraph Instruments
in the Capitol's two press galleries
relay spot news to an outside world.
?The Goldfish Bowl of tho National
Press club.
The Glenn L. Martin company of
Baltimore, has recently closed contracts
with the government of Slam,
for the sale of $625,000 worth of airplanes
for its army. A
General Motors corporation announced
plans Saturday night for reopening
a part of Its plants, closed by
strikes, today, and that 95,000 workers
would be given work two days a
week.
Florida vegetable growers are opposed
to a reciprocal trade agreement
with Cuba, Insofar aa the importation
of vegetables are concerned.

ELEPHANTS PURCHASED FOR
CIRCUS NEED WINTER EXERCISE
Lafayette, Tonn.?Two huge gray
bodies braced themselves and heav-'
ed. Up went the 6,000-pound log into I
the air. v Another heave and it landed
high up on a pile of other logs.
Adnlts and children, grandpurents '
and babies In arms, in fact all of'
I-afayette's 900 persons turn out to j
see the elephants logging at Harper's I
sawmill near here.
Many follow them from the mill'
in the morning to the tract of timber
about five miles from town, where'
they have replaced half a dozen teams j
of mules in the Harper's logging op- 1
e rations. ]
1 p I" ritz! Up Mitzi!" the elephant '
trainer shouts in the guttural tones 1
that elephants aoem best able to un- '
deistand, and up they go, guided by '
the big hook that doesn't pierce their 1
thick hides, despite its murderous
looking point.
The elephants were brought to
Lafayette recently by Hoy Haag,
nephew of a famous circus owner, and
I Lafayette business man, who heard 1
that they were being sold at a show I j
dispersal sale at Trenton, N. J. Ho |
paid $4,000 for the two.
He rented an old concrete-floored
tobacco warehouse, bought up the full
winter hay supply of several farmers,
had a couple of steel hitching posts,
bigger than a man's leg, set four feet
deep in concrete near the middle of
the warehouse, and waited for his
pets to arrive.
1 hey arrived a couple of days af- .
ter the warehouse was ready and had
to walk the thirty miles from Gallatin
to Lafayette because the branch railroad
line to Lafayette had no freight
cars big enough to accommodate
them.
Haag planned to use the animals
in a small truck circus to be formed
this spring in some Tennessee city,
but the need for winter exercise for
his huge pets turned him into the
lumber business.
Now they've fitted into the routine
of lumbering Just as their relatives
arc still doing in their nativo India.
Reasons For The Flood
Two radio commentators, Lowell
T homas and Boake Carter, reported
widely divergent opinions recently as
to the part that denuding the watershed
of the Ohio river had to do with
the disastrous flood In that region.
Mr. Thomas quoted the U. S. Weather
Bureau as saying that mere man's
work could not possibly affect an act
of nature of such great proportions.
Half an hour later Boake Carter,
over a different system, broadcast impressions
he obtained in a flight over
the flooded area. He spoke of the
bare hills that turned rivulets Into
rivers and expressed the opinion that
man had cut the trees to build cities
and that nature Is now taking revenge
on her despoilers.
The Lexington Dispatch rightly
asks:
Is it not reasonable that the removal
of timber from millions of
acres, the sweep of forest Area across
the thousands of hills eating out the
water-conserving ground cover, and
the erosion that thinned the protective
grass on the slopes, may have
bo Increased the speed with which
the water moved down Into the valley
as to provide that top tej) feet
of flood water ??- Monroe Enquirer.
