Ih making what he called an “edu

rocket travel through Interplanetary

would travel In a rocket ship at a
of some 50,000 miles an hour,

that by the year 2050 sufficient
will be realized to overcome
force of gravity, thus enabling
trips to the moon.
Concentrated Energy.
“Sufficient energy to create these
speeds may be forthcoming from sev-
i aources,” he declared. “At pres

of very concentrated energy
hove been obtained, such as
loatxed hydrogen, which contains a
hundred times the energy of coal and

sixteen times as much energy

Rt. Louis. Mo —An American dough
boy la going back to Franm this year
to claim a $27,000 chatenu, willed to
him by a wealthy Frenchman whoae
admiration he won during the World
wnr.
Charles M. Ziegler, now a St. Louis
Insurance man. has received word
that Adolphe Bonnot, residing near
Arnnge, died at the age of elghty-two,
willing him the chateau and a plot
of ground.
When the armistice wna signed
Ziegler was ordered to look after
American property in the Arnnge dis
trict. He took lodging with Bonnet,
and a close friendship immediately
sprang up.
“I know Just how Mr. Bonnet felt
about giving me the house, although
he never mentioned the subject. He
* wanted me to have something by
which to remember him, his family,
and my happy nine months under his
roof,” Ziegler said, in explaining his
inheritance.
“Sell the place? Not for the world.
Words can’t express how I appreciate
the gift.
“Furthermore, I Intend to visit the
quaint old [dace this year. It has an
Income of more than $1,200 a year.
“The old gentleman was a tremen
dous help In settling claims,” Ziegler
said. “The war was over, and every
one with a claim was anxious to get
ns much ns possible. I would have
hnd n mighty hard time hnd It not
been for him.
“When my outfit was ordered home
he wnnted me to stny, hut, much ns I
hnd enjoyed his kindness, I was anxi
ous to get hack to the Fnlted States.
>4 I was pretty young then, less than
twenty when I took part In the 8t.
Mlhlel drive.”
Ziegler’s residence in St. Louis came
about In almost as unusual n manner
as his Inheritance of the chateau.
After returning to the t utted State*.
Ziegler was signed by the Philadelphia
American league hn^ehall club on the
strength of his college pitching.

Democratic jmmary election and to
support the nominee* of the party.
W. W. CAIN.
Among the peculiar things, which
are not at all unusual: nearly every
body had a radio, and practically all
the farms were mortgaged, and not
quite half of the heads of the families
(including men) had regular jobs, and
the number of really very poor people
who had nothing except themselves
and the children was astounding.
My wife gave in her age which
showed that she wag exactly 4 years
older than she was 10 years ago and
if she keeps on fighting off longevity,
it won’t be long till she’ll be entirely
too young to be an old man’s wife.
The lady who took us had a pretty
ha^l time getting in our house: The
qpildren mistook her for an agent of
some kind while the “head” decided
that she wasn’t anything hut a bill
collector, and the hell simply did not
ring loud enough.
But I am not worrying about being
so aged. My grandpas lived to be 80
and were it not for automobiles and
high taxes and past due notes, I hon
estly believe that I will live to be at
least 62, unless I die between now and
then. I am fairly happy, but things
don’t suit me like they useter, for in
stance: the girls of the community
don’t seem to be interested in my new
tie or my freshly shined shoes and the
women that are as old as I am are en
tirely too old to suit me.

IT'S WI»B TO CHOOSE A SIX
There i* one thing you can say for
Mr. H-^over: He’a always an optimist,
snd he’s never looking for anything
except better business and more pros
perous times, and mebbe the census
will fetch him more optimism and hell

that his predicted prosperity will ar
rive. (Wait a minute till 1 answer the
phone—it was my hanker calling me.)
How It Feels to Be Forty-eight.
When a fellow reaches the age of
48, he likes for folks to tell him that
he is in his prime, but nobody tell*
him that except some other guy that is
about 50. He may be in his prime,
but he’d better be careful how he trots
up the stairs or runs a foot race with
the kids.
At 42, his dentist plugs 4 or 5 of hi 3
jaw teeth and he has the pleasure of
pulling those teeth out, plugs and all,
in about 15 months and then comes the
plate or the bridge and bankruptcy,
that is, unless his dentist will sell him
on the installment plan. And at 43,
the old bird has to buy two pairs of
specks, 1 pair to read with and an
other pair to lock at short dresses
with.
When 44 comes, fatness begins to
show itself under his chin and his neck
starts to kok like the neck of a turkey
gobbler. His hair has just about all
been rubbed cut with hair tonics when
46 overtakes him and his jaws show
signs of becoming sunken. And it’s a
job to keep hU shoes laced and real
misery to button his underwear so’ 9 it
will stay buttoned.
