1835—1935—2035
What was going on a century ago, in the year 183d:
As to politics, the fiery and determined Andrew Jack
son was President. An insane man took a shot at him in
the capitol and a senator was charged with complicity but
was exonerated. Martin Van Buren followed Jackson into
the White House after a close race with General Wm.
Henry Harrison.
In 1835 Richard R Bland, champion of free silver was
born.
James K Polk, destined for the Presidency was Speak
er of the House.
The national debt was less than $40,000. Three new
mints were established that year,
Samuel Colt invented the revolver, and Morse the tele
graph.
New York had a $2,000,000 fire. A man domiciled in
Texas was not within the boundaries of the United States,
since it was in 1835 that Texas proclaimed her independence
from Mexico, becoming the Lone Star State and thereby
adding to the federal union an area approximately equal to
that of Germany.
The people living in those lays no doubt had their ex
citement, annoyances and woes, but we have to go to the
books to find out what they were.
At the close of this year, 1935, we may regard it as one
of the greatest year of American history; but its shame or
glory will pass.
Those to whom the date 2035 does not appear odd will
say that the oldtimers of the present day had it easy with
nothing to worry about but small money matters of some
kind to pester them,—Exchange
CHANGING THE HEAVENS
Any man can go out at night if the weather is clear and
gaze at the beauties of the sky, provided, again, his vision is
not obstructed by buildings or other objects. The scientists
have now arranged it so that man may look at the heavens
as they appear at any time.
The new Hayden Planetarium of the American Mus
eum of Natural History will coon be completed, according to
Dr Clyde Fisher, head of the Department of Astronomy,
who says the room is so constructed as to make the visitor
feel as if he were outdoors. Then says Dr Fisher:
“In the center of the room will stand the Zeiss project
or, more than twelve feet high, and built with the accuracy

‘‘With the projection planetarium one can go back
ward or forward in time. He can set the instrument back
say 2000 years and note with accuracy the configuration of
the planets among the stars at that time. The sky that guid
ed Leif Erickson across the wild north Atlantic centuries
ago may be brought back to the eyes of men and the portents
that guided Caesar’s fate may be duplicated.” —Exchange
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
U. S. Senator Sherman Minton, of Indiana, says:
“When public srevice agencies are enumerated almost
invariably one of the most important is overlooked—that of
advertising. Too frequently the public has been inclined
in the past to consider advertising as organized propaganda
designed to force the public to fall for some mediocre pro
duct or some shady undertaking. This feeling has almost
entirely disappeared in recent years, however, thanks to a
school of advertisers who have bent every effort toward the
raising of the standards of what promises to be a select
profession in the future.
“It did not take advertisers long to learn that trying to
push the scale of a mediocre product might bring momen
tary returns, but there was no surer way of killing a poor
product than to parade its weaknesses before the public.
Advertisers also soon learned that to shout the praises of a
mediocre product had the effect of dulling the advertising
senses of the public to such an extent that when there real
ly was something to sell it was merely taken as another cry
of ‘wolf.’
“ But as the United State prepares to swing into the
full program of complete recovery, we find that advertising
having profited by all of its early mistakes, is ready to do
yoeman service in the program. The increased purchase
of advertising lineage for the coming years is one of the most
encouraging business signs, for it means that once more the
consumer will be shown where he can get his best bargains.
“The proved integrity of advertising as a profession is
one of the most significant forward steps taken in our gen
eration so far as merchandising is concerned. Advertis
ing will play a fundamental part in our complete national
recovery.”
The reason father prefers a roast of beef to chicken
when they are having guests for dinner is because with a
roast of beef he can get what the guests do, instead of hav
ing to decorate his place with a fool neck—Cincinnati Enq.
The world’s greatest source of argument, even exceed
ing that as to whether the chicken or the egg came first, is
one arising from the question: “Does the wife spend too
much, or the husband earn too little?”—Shreveport Journal
Many a husband lets his wife rule the household be
cause he figures that if she didn’t reign she might storm.
Things might get better if we gave less thought to what
the world owes us, and more to what we owe the world.
