Kelsey and E. P Klein, then both residents of Salamanca, were great friends and business associates. They spent much time together and enlivened the commun ity th a t never was considered ex ceptionally quiet. Isn’t^ it a strange coincidence th a t the two gentlemen, one residing in Colorado and one in Pennsylvania, should l-eave their earthly ahode in the same week of the same year? Last Weok E hOSt Of friends noted with sincere regret the passing of Mr. Klein o f Colora do and Mr. Kelsey of Pennsylvania. .Speaking of '^Kel”, as he WES af fectionately called by S'!! who knew him, takes us back to the gay nine ties, when Van Etten, Kel and Dick Pordyce operated the Jamestown, Chautauqua and Lake Erie ^Railway, supposedly for the benefit of the stockholders. If three fellows ever had a good time on the job, it was Van, Kel and Dick. You may think you’ve heard of strange things hap pening on a railroad but you have never heard of anything unless you have heard of the 1890 period in the history of the J. C. & L. E. The trio used to brag considerably about their railroad, its activities and their accomplishments. They would ac knowledge under pressure that the J. C. & If. E. was not as long as some railroads b u t would wind up with the argum ent that it was just as wide as any of them. Any of the trio th a t wanted to pass the day or an evening up the lake never thought of hiring a taxi; they just grabbed an engine and made the trip with out pomp or ceremony. They had the dispatchers on the line crazy, as well as most of their friends and certainly all of the other employees of the road. The criticism of our modern way of living is that we have lost our ap preciation of the simple things in life! Simple things, the joy of being able to move, to work, to travel, to walk thropgh the woods and fields, to enjoy our meals, the companion ship of friends, to go to bed at night, to wake up in the morning and get ready for a day’s work or play. If you have any doubts that these are real joys, call up a sick friend, who has been in bed for many weeks and ask him. The planet Mars is to make one of its closest approaches to the E a rth next October 3, It will be 15 years before it comes so near again. Even then it will be 38,130,- 900 miles from the Earth. Our Earth see^ms like a very big place when you think of going - around it. But one of our nearest neighbors in the heavens is nearly 40,000,000 miles away, and the group of. planets revolving around our sun is only one of the minor systems in the infinity of the star ry heavens. So our Earth seems rel atively about as big as a boy’s base ball. Man seems only a speck in the vast universe. y-et though man seems such an in finitesim al speck, he has accomp lished marvels with his brain. He reaches out to the uttennost parts of the universe, and forms some idea of the distance across these vast spaces. He gets a pretty good idea w h at these infinitely remote suns axe made of. He is not such a lit tle thing after all. There is something calming about th e habit of star gazing. If our per sonal, troubles become too worrisome, it helps some to go -out and look at those majestic stars swinging eter nally in their orbits. If the world seems almost a hell with its constant wars, we can look a t those stars, and feel that the infinite mind that could conceive this system of per fect order will not finally let all human life prove to be valueless. The steady march of those stupend ous systems across the spangled sky suggests that all things yet in heav en and earth will come out well. It was said of Napoleon Bona parte tb'at someone in his presence expressed doubt that there whs any ■God. “Who made dil those stars?” said that great master of conquest. A notice posted in a modern plant read; “Any workman desiring to at tend the funeral of a near .relative must notify the foreman before 10 A. M. on the day of the game.” Southern Rat Found Paralysis Carrier Science Now Hopes to Find Cause of Disease, CLEVELAND.— ^Prom a dingy lab oratory in Cleveland’s City hospital comes the word that a bushy-haired, high-strung r a t from the cotton fields of the South m a y help scientists dis cover the cause of infantile paral ysis, the microbe which they have never seen. The little rodent bounded into the spotlight when it was discovered that it. could contract the disease from human’ beings. For years men have searched the animal kingdom for a suitable ex periment victim. There has been only one eligible candidate, the macacus rhesus monkey imported at high cost from India. Because of a high mortality rate and higher upkeep charges, the costs for a single experiment with the chattering little tree mammals has been staggering—sometimes as high as $650, Hundreds of worth while experiment ideas have been tossed aside because of insufficient funds. The Southern rat can be delivered for $1 a head. It is probable that experiments now may be conducted for as little as $20. The susceptibility of the rodent to infantile paralysis was discovered by Charles Armstrong of the United States public health service, whose years of search finally took him to the cotton fields of the South. Arm strong succeeded in injecting paral ysis virus into the rat from a victim who had died of the disease in Lan sing, Mich. Results were revolu tionary. Today Armstrong and Cleveland’s Dr. John A. Toomey, national au thority on infantile paralysis, are pioneering the paralysis quest through the new medium. British Report Cost of Living Has Risen a Third LONDON.—The cost of living has risen by nearly 32 per cent since this time last year, and food alone has risen by one-quarter in cost. Clothes are 39 per cent higher, fuel, heat and light, 16 per cent. Some cuts of beef are up 44 per cent, while cheese shows an in crease of 28 p er cent. Fish and eggs have gone up 39 p er cent. The price of flour has rem ained stationary, but bread has risen 5 per cent. Bacon is 29 per cent higher, tea 11 per cent. Milk costs 2 to 4 cents more a quart in some districts, although that is offset to some extent by the season scheme under which par ents can obtain free milk for their children. Butter shows increases from 15 to 25 per cent. The cost of living in the country has risen by more than the 32 per cent, owing to increased fares, which m ust be included in the computa- Radium Detector Finds Pig’s Diet Is Valuable . MINNEAPOLIS.—When it comes to lost radium, J. W. Burchta, Uni versity of Minnesota physics pro fessor, and his electroscope detec tor will find it. Professor Burchta’s radium detec tor has an electrically charged rod stuck through the cover of an ash- can. When he goes radium sleuth ing, he watches the rod, which re sponds with electrical discharges when stim ulated by radiations from the unlocated radium. His device is used chiefly to lo cate infinitesimal bits of the fare element lost by hospitals and medi cal centers. Once he was called to find a ra dium needle lost by a Sioux Falls, S. D., hospital. The radium was believed to be among garbage thrown to the pigs, Burchta’s d etec tor pointed the finger of guilt at a sow. After the pig was butchered, the radium was found in the pig’s stomach. Measuring Stick for Checking Propaganda LOS ANGELES, CALIF.—Do not try to 'eliminate propaganda but do subject it to a severe test, Ameri cans are advised by Dr. Franklin Fearing, psychology professor a t the University of California. Dr. Fearing compiled a list of four questions which should be used as a measuring stick, he said.’ 1. Who pays for the propaganda and what interests are served? 2. Who is on the other side and what are their interests? 3. How vague or specific is a given propaganda? Why is it not more specific as to motive? 4. Why is the appeal of a given propaganda prim arily emotional? Thus stripped, the propaganda may be determined by the public to be good or bad, Dr. Fearing claims. CATTARAUGUS W. B. A.
