THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, ItiT m.. Professor Vofonoff has made old men seem younger with the help of monkey glands, has made science take him seriously. Now he prbposes to create sup- ermen, such as Nietsche dreamed of, by using animal glands on young children of exceptional tal ent. He believes that he will create fenius such as eafth never saw, in the children of children thus treat ed. The old-fashioned will believe that, if monkeys could' help create fmer m'eh, Nature and wise Provi dence would have called on the monkeys long ago. Also a race of supermen is just what the world does NOT want. Tall men like short women, thin women admire fat men, genius marries mediocrity, all proof that Nature wants us to march along side by side about even, not a few far ahead of the others, or riding on the backs of inferiors. Those that run risks today will have contributed to absolute safe Eying in the future. Lindbergh says flying overland with a good pilot and machine is safer now than automobiling. Better machines will soon make > ocean flights as simple and safe as a flight over the English Chan nel, for which Northchffe, a few years ago, offered a $50,000 prize. Moving pictures show Lionel Barrymore holding the red-hot branding iron, Aileen Pringle pro viding the snow-white shoulder and quivering flesh to which the “red-hot” iron will be applied. Thousands, shuddering at this branding, will, hardly realize that such torture would have been con sidered natural a few years ago. Men were skinned alive, impal-d on sharp shafts and left dying for hours. 'At the time of Henry the Second, a workman was branded on the cheek with a hot iron, if without permission he left his par ish to find work in another. Those Henry the Second work men may comfort united qoal mine workers of America, forbidden by court injunction to interfere with the Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Cor. poration's open shop. That injunction and others like it will do a good deal to make unions powerless. But it isn't as bad as being branded for going out of your parish to look for work. We do improve, although slowly. Near Riverton, Wyoming, Ted Lee killed 115 rattlesnakes with a shovel. Rattlesnakes rely entirely on poison and conceit, which makes it easy to destroy them. So jluth those that pervert truth in history, religion, or otherwise. They rely on a poison which is not reliable, and are disposed of easily. »«««•«• «••>»'« * \ fr Automatic Train Control Apparatus Usad on ths Southern Railway: A, Englno Clamant or “Rooolvor;* B, Track Clamant ar “Inductor. 1 * TLANTA, OA.—With tho installa- - v, vu v » control, Tho “rocoivor” la energised by cur rent supplied from the locomotive's headlight dynamo and la electrically connected with a valve which controls the. operation of the train air brakes.

The color light type is considered a distinct advance in algnal practice since the same indications are used both day and night. As there is no merchanism to get out of order, ths color light signal Is less subject to failure than other types.
