AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
This newspaper b not connected in any manner with any
stock brokerage firm cr other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
formation relative to local min ing development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
The Glad Season
The calendar today announc
es the birth of a new season.
That this season, which thru
the centuries has been known
as summer, there is none more
welcome, none greeted with
greater acclaim from young
and old and none so abundant
ly endowed with gifts for hu
manity. The season should be
dedicated to Health and Hap
piness, for by its very nature
it is above all provided fe
mankind. It is the season fc
work and play but primarily
for being out-of-doors. Ther
is a driving energy that is t(
be absorbed from that sum
mer sun that the world of toi
may survive the rigors and
labors of the other thix\e seas
ons of the year.
Humanity might prefer that
the season of summer sliou!
be one of surcease from a.
work, and yet healthy me;
and women luxuriate in th
perspiration of hot-weathe
work. Perspiration is a con
comil ant of toil. The water j
beads upon man’s brow are of
ten one of the best rewards oi
honest labor, although wit
may not recognize the fact.

Muscle Shoals Again
Some weeks ago the Senate
passed the Norris resolution
providing for government dis
tribution of power and for fer
tilizer experimentation at Mus
cle Shoals. On May 28 the
House passed the Reece sub
stitute resolution dealing with
the same subject, but provid
ing for leasing the Shoals to
private parties.
The two measures are almost
diametrically opposite in then
provisions, and the efforts to
reconcile them in conference
will be of interest. The Reece
bill is backed by the President
and the Republican majority in
the House, while the Norris
measure is supported by Sen
ators of both parties who fav
or government operation. The
i Norris adherents will do every
j thing possible to defeat the
House bill, and they do not ap
pear disposed to compromise
on any sort of measure which
| provides for leasing the Muscle
Shoals properties.
Anything may happen, but as
.his is written it looks very
| much as though the 10-year
: ;ld controversy is still a long
! way from settlement.

1,000 Miles an Hour
Certain aviation engineer's
predict that airplanes may
eventually attain a speed oi
1,000 miles an hour; also that
non-stop flights around the
world will be made.
As the apparent movement
I f the sun, due to the earth's
elation, is less - than 1,000
niles an hour in latitudes
bove and below the equator,
uch a speed would present
| ome interesting collateral ex
periences. For example: trav.
: ding west, one might circle
he globe in daylight, as the
>lane would keep pace with
i he sun. Traveling east, the
plane would meet the r|n
wice, so that it would appar
ently experience two days in
24 hours.
Strangest of all. if the plane
.vere flying somewhat faster
han the visible movement of
he sun, it might start out
hortly' after sunset and fly
west to overtake the sun,
which would appear to rise in
he west. Continuing its flight,
t would finally leave the sun
’o far behind that it would ap
pear to set in the east.
A watch carried under either
pf these conditions might tell
how long the plane had been in
the air, but would be of little
use in determining the time of
the day at any given point dur
ing the flight.
