Added to those new lines have been started by. air for European countries, one of which is now known to have been successful. A combination air and rail service has been inauguei*ated reaching from coast to coast by the Pennsylvania lines. Every­ thing is moving faster today than yesterday and probably will' continue to do so for some years to come. What was regarded almost an impossibility a year or so ago is now an established fact proving that we will yet see many more changes not only in our method of transportation but in everything else. The airplane is to revolutionize travel just as certain as has the motor car.

How “ Fly-LemP* Originated i A fly-leaf is a blank leaf at the be- ginning or end o f a book. It was sug­ gested by an old noun, “ fly," which means something attached along the edge only. GOING THE LIMIT ON TAXATION The happy-go-lucky motorist may have some of the joy of life taken out of him if he travels in Florida or should happen to reside in that state. Florida has taken a leaf from Ohio’s legislative experience in that you can add gasoline tax for any­ thing you want from graft for the politicians in sale of road materials and machinery to attracting large donations for cam­ paign purposes. Florida has a gasoline.tax and under a law just passed re­ cently it is now six cents a gallon. It is to be regretted that both Ohio as well as the Florida legislatures did not make the tax ten cents a gallon to give motorists a real thrill. Instead the tax hounds know how to administer a soothing dose and edge up the tax year by year rather than giving it all at one dose. The new law in Florida makes the gas tax available for school support as well as improved roads, , As we are approaching the day of old age pensions, pensions for civil service government employees, and state and federal aid for this and. that, we suggest that it all be put on the motor­ ist. The sooner the tax is made unbearable the sooner a.sen­ sible view o f things will be Liken. UNCLE JOHN REACHES NINETY YEARS John D. Rockfeller has passed ninetieth birthday and is yet enjoying good health. He finds enjoyment in keeping in daily touch with; his enormous business interests.. At sixty he was in poor health but a daily program for labor, rest and recreation was mapped out for him and he has now reached an age far beyond what these of the present generation prob­ ably' can hope to see. The Standard Oil magnet is .one of the outstanding citizens in the country and his rise in the commercial world will always be a mark in history when finance, manufacturing and distri­ bution are discussed in the future. Having gained a fortune that at brie time reached a billion dollars he had set a new mark in a country, that was free to look with suspicion upon such a .feat. ■■ ■ . ... What was in Rockfeller’s mind Monday one could hardly Venture a guess. Had he taken a retrospect of his life and .business experiences he probably went back to the day when his company was given a $29,000,000 fine for restraining trade. O f course the fine was .never paid and the judge that assessed it never expected it to be paid but it gave the judge a lot of publicity as a jurist. However the result was that the Rock­ feller companies had to break up in separate units instead of one large corporation. Each unit continued to grow and ex­ pand and in a few years several of them were as large'as the original company. There must be a touch of humor when John D. now looks back oh those eventful days when to be big was to be fined in court. Today he can rest in his easy chair and witness combina­ tions of companies where mill ions,are involved and the. public gives, approval-because the war put us on a higher lever of do­ ing big things in a big way. The anti-trust law may be on the statute books but it is much out of place and it is seldom we hear it mentioned. ’ . Another feature of Rockfeller’s ’ ife has been his public and. private benefactions and the joy to him of having given more than five hundred million dollars to charity, and public institu­ tions. The Rockfeller foundation is without question one of the ■greatest institutions to be found in any country. The oil magnet has done much for his country in developing the oil industry and through his liberal generosity in behalf of the public. His reward for his life work is that he has lived a long life of useful­ ness to himself i^'nd to his fellowmen and that he yet enjoys good health. MINISTER TAKES BISHOP TO TASK It is no uncommon thing when a minister makes a misstep that we find much comment in the public press. There are two reasons no doubt for reporting such news. One is that it is very unusual for men in the ministry to “ go wrong,” using ,a street expression, Another is that when a minister does commit an act that attracts court or public attention, it is regarded as good news. It is much like the story of the dog that bit a man which is nowadays regarded of little news value but let a man bite a dog and such an event is first page news due to the fact that it would be an unusual happening. Several days ago a “ bucket-shop” in New York city was closed by the government and the proprietors indicted in Fed­ eral court for using the mails to defraud. The “ bucket-shop” is an illegal stock gambling institution that bobs up everynow and then much like lottery projects. When the government opened the “ bucket-shop” books it was found that Bishop Can­ non of-the Southern Methodist church had been a late customer and had invested in stock speculations. The exposure stirred church circles apd was looked upon with much glee by the wet interests as the- Bishop had been very active in behalf of the prohibition Cause. Of course there can be no justification of the Bishop’s act in taking a fling in the field of gambling. It cannot be said he did' not know the difference between a “ bucket-shop" and a legitimate brokerage house for his speculations covered a period of months. The manner in which a “ bucket-shop” is conducted should have aroused his suspicion had he not known the difference. Regular brokerage houses do not buy and sell margins in the stock market. In some quarters there is a tendency to defend the Bishop but such an attempt will get no place, It would be better to ex­ tend sympathy for his indulgence in an illegal practice. The Rev. John Thompson, prominent Methodist minister in Chicago, in a recent sermon rebukes the Bishop declaring that he has brought reproach on his church and the prohibition cause in' Which he has been so active. It is becoming more and more certain that the gambling evil canhot be checked as long as we recognize Wall street speculation as a just business venture. There is little room to criticise, other forms of gambling and yet permit millions of people to gamble on stocks and bonds as is done, daily in thin and other countries. F U R N I T U R E !
