THE RADIO INDUSTRY:" IMMIGRANTS BUILD NATIONS. / r A DEMOCRATIC PRINCE. ^ Frank Lockhart, whom Barney Oldfield calls “the greatest automo bile driver in history,” drove his car 225 miles an hour on a Florida beach yesterday, lost control and shot out into the ocean. . - Such speed in automobiles is val ueless, because it cannot be used. Trying for^tTas unwise as some “stunts” that fliers do, emphasizing the danger of flying, instead of em phasizing its safety, as they should. It is to be hoped that Colonel Lind- .bergh, the most important young man to nis country, will realize the danger and folly of unnecessary risk. A serious accident to Lindbergh would set flying back ten years in America. That is not what he wants v Great Britain suppresses a moving picture showing how Nurse Edith Cavell was shot as a spy by the Germans. Britain wisely decides such a picture would only revive and in tensify international bitterness. Edith Cavell was guilty under mil itary law. Allied nations executed women for crimes no more serious. But the “moral” circumstances were different. Military stupidity, that governed Germany and killed Edith Cavell, governs Germany no longer. The Argentine Republic wanted to rewrite the United States tariff to compete with American farmers. But the Argentine didn’t have Balfour representative, so this country sa no. We can handle little republ Britain is too much for us. f 1 Last vear, this country spenCSbOO.- 000.000'for radio products, machines and parts. ^ Nineteen twenty-eight will see the first radio presidential campaign. The world changes swift ly, adapting itself readily to new methods. Radio employs 300,000 people, and broadcasting reaches 90,000,000. An athlete, breaker of records, with big lungs and ^icst expansion, was amazed when /the life insurance doc tor told him “^ou are a had risk. We can’t take ^Ou.” Next to/no exercise, the danger ous thing/is over-exercise. You can develop rfiuscles almost without lim it. But you have only, one heart, and it will staind only so much. Promoters of South American in vestments inform^you that the pop- ilation of Rio de Janiero has in- reased nearly a million in eight years, Buenos Aires more than a mil lion in fourteen years. Agricultural potmlation has increased enormously in South America. , Blackville, March 3.—Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Strobe 1, Mrs. L. D.

Hartzog, All that is due to our immigration laws which keep out of the United States the white European popula tions that we need, the i men and wo men that made this country what it > is. Shutting"out such immigration, wc— buiid up other nations. € The former Kaiser, who must have done some hard thinking in the last few years, tells Sylvester \ iereck. “today the center Of gravity which determines world power has shifted” in the United States. America is master of the world.” America probably COULD be mas ter of the world. But to desire that mastery would l>e foolish. To be masters of ourselves, mind oyr busi- nes's, develon- this country and in crease the well-being of the average man, is a big enough task.
