INTERPLANETARY AVIATION. Capt. Claude It. Collins, pri'.shlf r.t (, tho Aviators I -1 f iVnn.-'ylviinlu, rniiNt ( ithT ;i iractical .'l;rr iv a ery cU-v r advorttsor. JI' has recpivfd ; Urpt amount vt publicity frni his (l"fcr to let hiin.colf hf ; lint from tho arth i Mars in one of i'rof. GiUlari'rt nrw lüKh- ni( incy hk y-rockf ts. Hii J.roposal. inal' as lu- says "in full H-riousnss." f(.r ihv honctit of s-i-nce and th devflopmr-nt of Amcriv"an iiviition, is qualitWd '.y f-rtain condition?. a.n.:n which is this: "A hoiird of IP prominent sci rti.-ts sli.tlj asjreo to 11- Iraf ti atdiity of tla- coinjd-t d rocket and jks-sil)!-siici'fys of tfie sinn' in rcachir. tlic planet with im- tfcly." As lout; as tlu matter is ifi to the cool judgment f 10 "prominent sci-ntit.s." Caj. t. Collins' friends i"fdn't worry ahout his oarinK off into sjtace yet lor h wliile. Tiiere Is still more safety in the provision that h? i.s to wait until "communication, either Ky radio, li'ht or other mans shall he defmtely es-tahl-lud with Mars, and a roeket similar t( that with whi'h I am to nuke the leap he constructed and successfully shot to another plan1:." While- these little preliminaries ar t i 1 1 attended to certain practical considerations may occur to vcryhody mncfrnol for example, the fact that even if that man-hearing rot ket travels a mile a second, it will take it a year to reach Mars, and the doughty captain mit;ht le extremely hunprry. thirsty, cold, cramped and generally ur.eomfortablt before lie ?rot there, not ro mention the bump he would r.-ot when lie landed, and the .slim chances he would have of ever petting hack apnin. or even wiq-wag1-uin news of arrival at his destination. A trip to th" moon would not he so difficult, and in fact, a lunar expedition would seem more in line with this proposal. At a mile a second, he miht reach the moon In two and a half days. Still, if anybody wants to do anything like that, it would be a KOJ deal safer and less troublesome and just a useful to science and aviation, to be loaded into a (.'"man "strafe gun" and shot acro.-a the English channel.

TRYING A MINIMUM WAGE. TNrnow1ng up Its work In cMablishin? a minimum fgtre for wom'n working in retail stores, in minifOjm wage boarj of the District of Columbia has Tentatively establi-hel the si nie rate of $K...r0 per week as tlie nilnimura wage of women employes of local hotels, restaurants, cafes and lunch rooms. Th" orpatti.ation cf hotel men opposed this rate-, mst as some oi." the stör. m-n did when it was tirst I p'.ie.i to their wou.ea emp'ojrs. The TtoTchants. however, .-non found that the minimum wme worki to their advantage. . better class of women ap(i.ed fr work, they stayed on the joh longer and '-.re mor- cheerful and contented. Thft employes i-.o. w l;o liad teared that the minimum wace misli,t th" same time ie- th-"' max:mum. have found that be number of vf-rl.-rs rrcivinc more than that .- pui'jnt has pe.it iy do':bh d situe the waro se;tl .-'-rt into effect altodt a year nco. In crimes where Jpde'-j furni-h room and board to their mployes, $ "J a w- k for rcoia, and cents Tr.e.il for board will b-" dciiucted from the Jlu. !"ips wer- not eor.sitiere,! at all in settinc the scale, -ecause they wer- r yarded by the board n-' an uncertain income. Most of th women employes ex-pre-ed a desire to have the tips done away with if the waee scale was h'sh cnoucrh to support them comfortably. It is probable tb i aftrr the i!:criso lia- been in effect for se-if ral mentb.s. b.ot. l men will sird themselves better sat ist', d tb.un under the old .ower-pay system, for the houl business is surely no exception .o tlte truth that what benefits the employe justly wu.l also benefit th-- employer.

DELAY MAKES FOR TROUBLE. Whatever .entimer.t in (I-rmar.y may be with r--rct to the allies' dmar.J iur the surrender of war criminals, there can be no question as to what it will be if an -ml is not swiftly mu.de of the argument between Tails and Herlin. l!v ry day thar. tasfs with fresh xchar.-es in the controversy there is Kenr..teu in (lermuny new bitterness that will endure. The delay has made opportunity t'or tederick William l!olienoll. rn. former crown rrince. to dispatch a leUer to allied capitals which will cause a most unfavorable reaction in CJ-rtminv. "If tho allies demand a victim." he says, he stands rc;uly to prtser.t hu rase if for execution. It i-- a subtl" fcppeal to tho German p ou'e to repudi.kt' Their elfixation under the treaty and r -!-t tb.e jus: .i. n.aM.N that War Criminals be brought to trial ainl pu:.;-h-fcrcaL ) EYiSerick William JfohenoltTn i re tends to .fbin: self as a t-.xcrif.ee throiu!; wl;i-.li -.i:..e v j

If any are piven up h will be of the r.arty; '.f none others are piven up he will not go over the border, prffumlnp, of course, that he mlrht brlnr; hhr.lf under the jurisdiction of the German povemrner.t. What he accomplishes In his letter will b hurtful to the allies. The impression will prow in Germany that It is victims of revenue, not culprits to meet Justice, that the allies geek. All thli should be remedied. If tho allies have power to rt the wanted Germans, let them waste no more words, but act within their rights. If their demands are not enforced, which nobody believes to bo the case, it were better to drop the whole subject.

WELL, SUCH POLITICS I "I want all my friends to help me pet this job. because I want it.- William Allen White in th5 Emporia Gazette. In these days of candidates who "under no circumstance.s will accept the nomination, " nuch candor as Fallt or White displays is absolutely fhockintf. To think that a man would come ripht out. in his own paper, and pay he wants to pro to the Chicago convention of the republican partv as a delegate, and ask his friends to vote for him because he wants the Job! Nobody is honest and outspoken in politics, not even in Kansas, and Editor White ought to know that. He has been reporting the circumlocutions of candidates for a generation, and he never saw any of ihm win at the polls by any such naivete as this. Itut what can you expect of an editor of such incorrigible honesty as this rruin White, who once tame right out in his paper and asked "What's the matter with Kansas!" and then answered his own (luestion; told everybody in Kansas and as much of the rest of the world as would listen just what was the matter. And It wasn't very pleasant reading, either, lie said Kansas was "raising too much hell ;md not enough corn." Uut as that was for his state s good, lie got away with it. And just for his honest matter-of-fact straightforwardness he'll probably get this job. too. More power to his honesty!

THE DAYLIGHT SCREEN. a A new screen has been invented and recently tested in London, on which pictures can be project d In bread daylight equal in clearness to those shown in darkened theaters. The same projecting appai atus can be used for either a well-lighted hall or a darkened one. only the screen is diff erent. This may not mean much for the development of motion pictures as a form of entertainment. Most patrons are sufficiently accustomed to darkened theater or movie house not to care particularly about the innovation, one way or another. It Is In the commercial and educational fields that the daylight screen will be of greatest benefit. It can be used more readily in class room work and in illustrated lectures. Pictures can be shown outdoors in daylight, which may aid various commerck.l and advertising plans, as well as making possible a summer theater which is both light and airy. Perhaps, too. with a flood of real daylight let in. movi patrons may acquire more taste and discrimination than they have shown to date.

THE POTENT TEASPOON. A pretty young woman broke jail in Battle Creek the other day. Outside of local circles the episode is only worthy of -.lote from the fact that she picked the lock with a teaspoon and not with woman's universal and omnipotent weapon, a hairpin. Again, it occurs to us in passing, a teaspoon in the hands of the most desperate man would be but ; useless toy, but in the hands of a pretty woman it takes the place of a government order. Do you suppose it would work as well for a homely young woman, or do homely young women ever break jail?

A Chicago clergyman says that 4 5 is the age when men are most likely to go on the rocks. But tho average man is inclined to believe that the man who has gone straight for 43 years has attained a prettv good momentum along the right path.

Mit. BORAH'S W .MINING. (Washington Bulletin.) Whatever Sen. Borah may be politically, in a geographical way he represents a region in which hard work, frugality and thrift are necessities as well as virtues. In no other section of the country. erhaps. are c ongress waste of time ami extravagance of expenditure watched with keener scrutiny and requited with quicker condemnation than they are in the grtat west, of which Sen. Borah's state of Idaho is an exemplar. There is significance, then, in Sen. Borah's rccnt decrial of the failure of the present republican con--r ss to keep its pledges ot economy, and his sharp n büke in the wastefulness that characterized som pendinc proposals. Unquestionably. Mr. Borah has '.. ard from his constituency and knows the mind of his p-ople. Accordingly, he has warned the republian leaders that their record in congress and not the promises of a platform even one that is the handiwork of 171 ( Xpert politicians w ill be the test of their party's titn ss for another lease of power. Sen. Borah knows what is patent to every ither ohs-TVtr in congress and outside of it. The republians made promises to obtain votes and control of legislation. They have done next to nothing, even under pressure to ful'dl their promises. They have begun this ear's presidential campaign with new promises.

local Biui:rs. Art MacDonald is abroad with the announcement he will present all of his friends with plaid skirts this year. Our information dc.csn't enlighten us whether the skirts are for his Scotchmen friends, or not. E. Reeder, the advertising genius, certainly miss-s the Colfax Avenue Glee club. The other night he was struck by a beer crock on Washington av., while going along humming one of the old familiar club tunes. These are icy days for Frank Stovtr and his Johnson motor wheel. Clarence B. Steed of the Vermin Clothing Co.. returning from a buying trip in New York, nays that he can let us have a good cheap suit next fall for $t!0. possibly, if he prices do not advance. We told Clarence we would fool him and spend next fall and winter in a Turkish bath. J.

More Truth Than Poetry By James J. Montague

MIDAS AND THE PISOITTKF.ItS. A King named Midas lived of old. Who had a magic touch Which turned to eighteen-karat gold The food and chairs and such. It tickled Midas quite a bit To have a talent which. If he made careful ne of it. Seemed sure to make him rich. But when he got forgetful, and. With clownish greed imbued. Picked up a beefsteak with his hand It ruined it as food. If he but touched his coat or vest, He turned to gold the same. And Midaa couldn't get undressed Until the blacksmith came. With gold for clothes, with gold for eats. With gold for socks and shoes, With gold for nightshirts and for sheets. And even gold for booze. King Midas was fed up on gold. And presently, despite The handsome fortune he controlled He shuffled off one night. A lesson for the profiteers This tragic tale should be: They've turned to gold in recent years Whatever they can see. Vnd yet the King's unhappy fate Don't worry them & bit. Because they've noticed that, to elate. They've got away with W

ni:u.Li)iNn. Norse mythology is filled vith valiant names which are the forerunner of many of our feminine Proper names in currant use today. Geraldlne is one such and her history dates back to the days when Valkyries drove their splendid chariots over tho fields of conflict in the land of the midnight .sun. It means 'spaar power', thus making its fortunate possessor ono of the company of battle maids so honored by those of Boandanaviaa blood. From Norway and Sweden, the forerunner of Geraldine made jts appearance among tho Anglo-Saxors as St. Gerhold, which was changed to Gerald and because of the saintly reputation of its first bearer, the masculine name became enormously Popular In England, where it is still a favorite in the aristocratic class. "Morte d'Arthur' added to the vogue of Gerald, ' sine Gareth, or Garret, Knight of the Round Table, was said to be the equivalent for Gerald. Some etymologists disagree with this contention, but in the main It is accepted and gives' tu Gerald a rom antic flavor. The first Geraldine was Lady Elizabeth Fitzgerald, daughter of the famous Maruice Fitzgerald, whom Surrey made the heroine of his poetry under the title of Fair Geraldine. The name won immediate fame in the class of romance and was straightway taken up by a.11 the fashionable damsels of that day. Germany accepted it but changed it later to Gerhardine. It also penetrated Italy, here it became Geralda. Both England and America preserved it in its original form. Of all the famous Geraldinrs, the most noted of these times is the prima denna. Geraldine 'Far rar, whose magic voice charms eperalovers of the Metropolis. Geraldine's talismanic gent is the emerald which is said to give the such intuitive powe rs that she may bo able to foretell events. It quickens the intelligence and sharpens the wits, but is an enemy to passion. Wednesday is Geraldine's lucky day and 3 her lucky number. The hawthorn is her flower. (Copyright. 192 m
