by Arthur Brisbane Warning to Arabs To Improve Marriage ' Pittsburgh’s Big Day Wise Young Dinosaur Britain has made the Arabs understand that murder is not a safe pastime under a British mandate. ’ At Haifa three Arabs were sentenced to death by Chief justice Sir Michael Mac Donnell foi causing the death of Isaac Mam aan. The men convicted and Arabs witnessing the trial called upon Allah to resent it. Alalh didn’t say anything. He was missing from the scene, as angels were once missing in Constantinople. Christians had been assured that at the last moment if the Turks took Constantinople angels would appear in the square before the Church of St. Sofia and smite them. Turks took Constantinople have held the city through all the centuries since. No angels have appeared. Moral: If you anything done, don’t depend an Allah. Great Britain proposes to bar from marriage the ‘mentally unfit.” That might improve the human race, if you could identify the mentally unfit with tySome unfit will be exempt from matrimonial ostracism because they possess fortunes or important titles or names. Others mentally unfit will escape because they are only dull, belonging to the negative class that Dante put into one of hell’s disagreeable compartments. Pittsburgh held a big celebration and for good reasons. Fifty years ago you could wade across the Ohio river in many places with water no higher than your knees. Now the government has built fifty dams, costing $118,000,000 giving at least nine feet of water enough for large boats, all year round, throughout the 1,000 miles of stream between Pittsburgh and the Mississippi. Ohio river traffic has increased in twelve years from 4,600,000 to 20 900,000 tons;. The river now makes possible a saving of $20,000,000 a year in freight charges. Overwork is not so dangerous but violent emotion is extremely dangerous, says Dr. ,C. P. Emerson, learned student of the human body. “A strong emotion can inflict a physical injury, just as truly as can a knife,” says the doctor. However, a life that amounts to anything is made up of strong emotions. A giant turtle on the Galapagos islands never has strong emor tions and lives five or six hundred years. But who would be a Galapagos turtle? Better be Keats, Alexander, or Napoleon. Samuel Insull, Jr., following in his father’s industrial dinosaur tracks, as president of the Midland United Company of Chicago, tells the American Gas Association that to boom the gas industry and increase sales, they must cut prices, and use “pursuasive advertising and proper salesmanship.” If young Mr. Insull follows out those ideas he will be a big industrial dinosaur some day., Mr. Lamont, “the” Mr. Lamont, says business is good and will continue good. Gerard Swope, president of General Electric says “Amen!” and he means it. Orders received by his company for the three months ending September 30 were $116,688,014, against $90,328,666 in the same period last year. That increase of 29 per cent has prevailed throughout thei entire year. Madame Curie, who helped the discovery of radium, comes here to accept for the new Radium Institute at Warsaw, one gram of radium costing $50,000, paid for by American women. You could put in a small valise radium worth more than all the wealth of Rockefellr, Ford, Secretary Mellon and George F. Baker combined, if such a radium quantity existed,. Our sun, with its source of terrific energy only guessed at by science, may contain millions of tons of radium. We can’t get at that. But we might give more poor children the benefit of the sun’s light, which is accessible and costs nothing. Dr. Frederick Tilney, professor of neurology at Columbia (Continued on Last Page)

aw Rush Aip me Crash’ A Hoax - hurried to search for the burn- - ing plane, to do what they could i for the supposedly injured pilot Many citizens waded in water ' oblivious of the chance of colds k i to follow, while others tore -1 clothes on barbed wire fences, >i in their eagerness to help an ■ injured flyer. Then came the news from the . flying field that Zimmer was safe > and sound, had not even been in [ danger.
