AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Tnis newspaper is not connect ed in any manner with any j
stock brokerage firm or other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in- j
formation relative to local mining development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
False Ideas Stick
After an erroneous statement
has been made often enough it
is next to impossible to eradi
cate it from the popular mind.
For many years the question
was asked why the addition ot
a fish to a pail of water would
not add to the weight of the
bucket and its contents. Sev
eral ingenious explanations
were offered, but the real reas
on could not be agreed upon.
Finally some inquisitive skeptic 1
weighed a bucket of water and
after adding a 5-pound fish
weighed it again. It weighed
just five pounds more than it
did before adding the fish.
The, question, therefore, was
shown to be based upon a false
assumption.
A similar situation is pointed
out by the Christian Science
Monitor in answer to the quest
ion of why the younger gene
ration is so much inclined to
crime. Thirteen cities report
ing to the United States Child
ren’s Bureau showed that in,
nine of them juvenile delin
quency decreased, while an in
crease was noted in only four.
Likewise it is popularly .sup
posed that crime in Chicago is
more prevalent than ever be
fore. Yet actual statistics
show that crime since 1915 in
that city has not increased in
proportion to the increase in
population.
So, as Josh Billings once said,
“it’s just as well not to know
so much, as to know so blamed
much that ain’t so.”

A World Radio Center
Plans recently made public by
Rockefeller interests contem
plate for New York City the
greatest amusement enterprise
the world has ever seen, with
radios as its central feature.
This stupendous project will
represent an investment of
I $250,000,000—a quarter of a j
billion— and will cover three !
whole blocks in the vicinity of
Fifth Avenue and Forty-eighth
Street. There will rise four !
: magnificent temples of art—a ;
variety theatre, a sound-film |
theatre, a musical comedy the
atre, and a house for regular i
drama—with a combined seat- ‘
ing capacity of 25,000. Per- j
formances from j?ll of these !
will be broadcasted to the nat
ion and the-world by radio, and
means will be provided for
utilizing all developments'Of j
television as they appear.
In connection with this ma
jestic art center will be a grand
plaza, of which it is said by the ;
promoters “no effort will be \
spared to make it the most im
pressive boulevard of its kind
in the world; fountains, statu
ary, and beautiful garden
plots vvill intersperse its whole
extent.” Work is to be begun
this fall and completed in 1933.
All this is of the greatest sig
nificance, not only to those
who may visit New York, but
to everyone who owns a radio
set. This may be understood !
from the announcement that
the National Broadcasting
Company will operate twenty
i seven broadcasting studios in
the ladio city, instead of only
eight as at present, offering
better programs of greater va
riety.

The Evil of Narcotics
It used to be said that prohi
bition would drive all the old |
soaks to the use of opium and 1
other drugs, but statistics show j
that while there has been an
increase in the number of hab
itues a large percentage of
them are young boys and girls,
a majority under twenty, who
could not have been long ad
dicted to the whiskey habit if
at all. The cause lies else
where, and it seems that we
have not found it. Nor have we

hit upon a method to effectual
reduce the traffic in drugs, not
withstanding the fact that the
government has spent millions
of dollars in restriction. How
futile are the efforts at sup
pression is clearly shown in
the government’ inability to
prevent use of opium in the
federal prisons, where it is ad
mitted fully one-fourth of the
prisoners are able to get all the
opium they want. It is also
probable that the same situa
tion exists in most of the state'
prisons.
