' The professional atheist, unwill ing to believe anything that “has not been proved to bim,” would find his opinions changing, in a big earthquake, or above the ocean in a fog. ^ Senators denounce the high price of books. Mr. McKdlar, from Tennesseer says: “Novels worth ‘two bits’ can not be bought for less than $2. . . The price of novels is not so im portant. But the high cost of books containing positive . knowl edge, that would enable uneducated millions XTncluding many- college graduates) to educate themselves, is disastrous. .... That a book should be sold for four or five times what it costs to produce it, is as bad for the pub lisher and for the author, as for the reading public. _ —.. , When will American business, generally, learn that big sales with small profits, as shown in the auto mobile industry, are most profit able. Lindbergh took thirty-six young Pacific Coast girls up in the air, in instalments-yesterday, giving those charming treatures some thing to talk abouf forever. Women may thank the good Lord for granting the flying ma chine. They can fly on the aver age as well as any man, and the airplane is another step toward real equality. Effort to abolish the unwise tax on automobiles develops the fact that the Government collected a thousand million dollars from auto mobile owners and spent only six hundred millions on better roads— not fair to the men that pay for the cars, “war tax included.” The war ended some time since and the foolish tax ought to end. i A company is formed to build seadromes, ocean -landing places to be scattered over the Atlarttic. Tlie thcory is that trans-Atlantic airplanes would land, get fuel and start again, i Bfit by the time the. Atlantic is “dotted with seadromes,” planes will fly across the Atlantic as easily as they now fly acrossi the English Channel. * In the second place, if it is hard for fliers in somewhat foggy weather to find the Hawaiian Isr lands in the Pacific, how difficult would it be for them to find a landing place "dot,” in the Pacific? As hard as finding a turtle asleep .on the Pacific, 1 Dr. Winifred Sackville Stoner, who is a lady, says “Man is supe-- rior to woman, mentally, physically, artistically and psychologically.” That is not all true, especially the “physically and psychological ly” part of it. But suppose it were all true. Michael Angelo’s Moses is a finer product than Michael himself. But Michael Angelo made it. Whatever a man is, some woman made him, and nobler than be a cocoanut tree than a cocoa- nut. the producer is the product.

Of interest to his many friends is the announcement in this issue of The People-Sentinel of W. Hayne Dyches, of the Hercules section, as a candidate for Magistrate) at Hilda.
