Co-operative coeds will sel l kisses at the Jokers Carnival i n the Armory. e Gone are the Days By Laura Haat i Student Search For Truth, Knowledge And Seats In Library Continue s BENDING an eye to the crowde d Library, a layman would se e hordes of book-fans, cheek b y jowl, staring fixedly at printe d matter ranging from volumes b y Freul to travel folders . When he learns that these are students an d they studying, immediately phrase s like "halls of lore " "search fo r truth" "pilgrims of progress" wel l up in his head . Ha then goe s back to his hollow tree to write a n authentic morel about life at col- lege . But the situation isn 't inspirin g to everyone . Professors who ca n think back twenty years to th e Cain-raising When They Were Young Days, are much amazed . They adjust a thinning toupee an d speak gravely of modern de- terioration, Formerly to walk through the Library was as easy as a strol l through the park . It used merel y to bs a crypt for holding th e crumbling forms of cobwebb y books, benches, and librarians . To be squeezed in the Library wa s solely the pursuit of people wh o wanted to bo alone . Seldome did a paying customer happen int o the building consciously and unde r his own power . Now it's a different story . It'y said that the only way to cop a chair in the Library and get awa y with it is to commit the perfec t crime, a fact that is judiciousl y ignored by the board of governor s in view of the increasing registra- tion . Ignored also Is the rapidl y rising sales graphs of DDT re- tailers . The only comment passable on the "Great Campus Mystery " or "Why is the Library Haunted" i s the famous but contemptuous on e uttered by Lief the Lucky on th e foggy morning he first saw th e Hudson River . The Baltic Globe - trotter didn't like it and sneered , "It's-Greek-to-me," but he is ex- cusable, inasmuch as he had a cold in his head . Today the remark is tinged with an awe and a big question mar k as it is made by the sneakiest campus sleuth after fruitlessl y trying to track down a chair . They don't like it either . They dislik e it so much that their spare tim e is being spent learning the whos , whets, whens, and whys of th e mystery . IT'S TOUG H They are finding lots to think about, namely complaints . Things are not like they used to be in the , good old days . With catches in their voices, stu- dents who occasionally used t o study in the library answer al l queries with "Yes, but we'd like to sit down yet ." The librar y staff, en masse, weep on the de- tectives' shoulders and patter in - coherently of the times when they used to take impromtu holiday s during the first two weeks of the term , There is evidence that wanto n cruelties occur daily, much to th e climay of th board of governor s and the SPCA . Prof, A . E . Hen - 'liege of thr Library Committe e admitted that he had once force d his way into the building to check up . He has a kind-heart, and wa s too overcome to make any state- ment beyond "Just go in and see how they are suffering . " When interviewed in the must y confines of the Science building , Dr . Harold Smith of the Physic s department quoted a typical bu t tragic case . His agents in Physics 4 reporte d that a Scienceman had been foun d there during the first week of th e term, He added, tapping a wish - bone on the desk, "The culprit ha s been caught and severely deal t with . " HUNH ? While discussing the details o f the case, habaes corpus, and capi- tal punishment, Dr . Smith reveal- ed that the crime had been th e shattering outcome of human fail- ing . "We found that he was confusin g the last week of the first ter m with the first week of the last term," Dr . Smith explained . "W e didn't like to be harsh ; but—he had been caught red-handed ." And we maintained a respectful silence with our heads hung at half-mast . Drastic measures are availin g nothing . The library, which use d to echo hollowly, is now packe d with the bodies of studious uppe r classmen, and the wraiths of lit- tle freshmen who have lost thei r initial "it burns" attitude . The tables, the stacks, the empty book - shelves, and even the hangin g things from the falls—are occu- pied . HM-M-M-M Here is a situation . The reason , Dr . Smith believes, is, "Eithe r students are studying More, o r they can't find any eater place t o rest ." Other atributtary causes ma ) be sunspots, wheaties, the wee - they, aqua velva, rationing, o r Charles Atlas . A variety of solutions have bee n offered . One armchair strategis t suggested that color days be al - lotted to each faculty, At certai n times, the library would be ope n exclusively to Blue-shirts, Green - shirts, Yellow-shirts, or Red-shirts . Special restrictions would be itn- posed on Sciencemen, who wil l soon have their own squatting -2 in the new forthcomin g Physics building , Sadie Tale, an enterprising coed , has suggested that he library b e has suggested that the library . be discriminate and allow only a certain quota of persons in, on th e pass principle . Howver, this sys- tem is open to discussion, esspeci- ally since Sadie mentioned the type she preferred .

Gone are the Days
By Laura Haati
Student Search For Truth, Knowledge And Seats In Library Continues
BENDING an eye to the crowde dLibrary, a layman would seehordes of book-fans, cheek b yjowl, staring fixedly at printedmatter ranging from volumes b y
Freul to travel folders . When helearns that these are students an d
they studying, immediately phrase s
like "halls of lore " "search fo rtruth" "pilgrims of progress" wel lup in his head . Ha then goesback to his hollow tree to write a nauthentic morel about life at col-lege .
But the situation isn 't inspirin gto everyone . Professors who ca nthink back twenty years to th eCain-raising When They WereYoung Days, are much amazed .They adjust a thinning toupee an dspeak gravely of modern de-terioration,
Formerly to walk through theLibrary was as easy as a strol lthrough the park . It used merelyto bs a crypt for holding th ecrumbling forms of cobwebbybooks, benches, and librarians . Tobe squeezed in the Library wassolely the pursuit of people wh owanted to bo alone . Seldome dida paying customer happen int othe building consciously and unde rhis own power .
Now it's a different story . It'ysaid that the only way to cop achair in the Library and get awaywith it is to commit the perfectcrime, a fact that is judiciouslyignored by the board of governor sin view of the increasing registra-tion . Ignored also Is the rapidlyrising sales graphs of DDT re-tailers .
The only comment passable on
the "Great Campus Mystery " or"Why is the Library Haunted" i sthe famous but contemptuous oneuttered by Lief the Lucky on th efoggy morning he first saw theHudson River . The Baltic Globe-trotter didn't like it and sneered ,"It's-Greek-to-me," but he is ex-cusable, inasmuch as he had acold in his head .
Today the remark is tinged withan awe and a big question mar kas it is made by the sneakiestcampus sleuth after fruitlesslytrying to track down a chair . Theydon't like it either. They dislik e
it so much that their spare timeis being spent learning the whos ,whets, whens, and whys of th emystery .IT'S TOUG H
They are finding lots to thinkabout, namely complaints. Things
are not like they used to be in the,good old days .
With catches in their voices, stu-dents who occasionally used tostudy in the library answer al lqueries with "Yes, but we'd liketo sit down yet ." The librarystaff, en masse, weep on the de-tectives' shoulders and patter in -coherently of the times when theyused to take impromtu holidaysduring the first two weeks of theterm ,
There is evidence that wantoncruelties occur daily, much to theclimay of th board of governorsand the SPCA . Prof, A. E. Hen -'liege of thr Library Committeeadmitted that he had once force dhis way into the building to checkup. He has a kind-heart, and wastoo overcome to make any state-ment beyond "Just go in and see
how they are suffering . "When interviewed in the musty
confines of the Science building ,Dr. Harold Smith of the Physicsdepartment quoted a typical bu ttragic case .
His agents in Physics 4 reporte dthat a Scienceman had been foun dthere during the first week of th eterm, He added, tapping a wish -bone on the desk, "The culprit hasbeen caught and severely deal twith ."HUNH ?
While discussing the details o fthe case, habaes corpus, and capi-tal punishment, Dr . Smith reveal-ed that the crime had been theshattering outcome of human fail-ing .
"We found that he was confusin gthe last week of the first termwith the first week of the last
term," Dr . Smith explained . "Wedidn't like to be harsh ; but—hehad been caught red-handed." Andwe maintained a respectful silencewith our heads hung at half-mast .
Drastic measures are availingnothing . The library, which use dto echo hollowly, is now packe dwith the bodies of studious uppe rclassmen, and the wraiths of lit-tle freshmen who have lost thei rinitial "it burns" attitude . Thetables, the stacks, the empty book -shelves, and even the hangin gthings from the falls—are occu-pied .HM-M-M-M
Here is a situation . The reason ,Dr. Smith believes, is, "Eithe rstudents are studying More, o rthey can't find any eater place t orest ." Other atributtary causes ma )be sunspots, wheaties, the wee -
they, aqua velva, rationing, orCharles Atlas.
A variety of solutions have bee noffered . One armchair strategis tsuggested that color days be al -lotted to each faculty, At certaintimes, the library would be ope nexclusively to Blue-shirts, Green -shirts, Yellow-shirts, or Red-shirts.Special restrictions would be itn-posed on Sciencemen, who wil lsoon have their own squatting
-2 in the new forthcomingPhysics building ,
Sadie Tale, an enterprising coed ,has suggested that he library behas suggested that the library . bediscriminate and allow only acertain quota of persons in, on thepass principle. Howver, this sys-tem is open to discussion, esspeci-ally since Sadie mentioned thetype she preferred .

GET OUT AND VOTE
The gymnasium drive is launched . It's awieldy project which involves $500,000 o fBritish Columbia money and several thous -and hours of student time . The wholecampus will have to unite of the drive is t obe accepted as a University of BritishColumbia project, and the rather formidablegoal is to be realized .
First, the students themselves must beready and willing to convince anyone, a tthe drop of a question, that a large gym-nasium is needed at the university. Theymust be ready and willing to convince any-one that the need of a gymnasium isimmediate .
In general there have been only twocriticisms of the drive . One is thtjt a largegymnasium will be so much waste spacewhen the serviceman influx subsides and theuniversity population settles down to pre -war level ,
It 's never too repetitious to remind peopl eto get out and vote for the Alma MaterSociety elections tomorrow . Three candi-dates have presented themselves as potentia lpresidents willing to serve the students o fthe university in the capacity of presidentof the Alma Mater Society .
It's a heavy job and the responsibility i salmost staggering. It has proved so this year
CANADIANATHE following column is a reprint fro m
the Sheaf, University of Saskatchewan'sstudent newspaper, It was written by BobMoon.
This piece is by way of getting on th ebandwagon. Nearly every book, magazineor newspaper these days has some referenc eto the eternal question "What is a Can-adian?" or something similiar. It is notevery contraversial subject that lasts as longas this one, and before it ends abruptly Iwish to add my two cents worth.
Firstly, I am a Canadian . Have been sinceI was born, What I have to say may be oneman's opinion, but it is also a Canadian 'sopinion. For some time now, contemporaryliterature, rightly or wrongly, has made meponder about my fellow man. Mostly thesubstance of the written thought compare sus to citizens of the USA or citizens ofEngland; the 'former because of our geo-graphical proximity and the latter becaus eof our political resemblance . Now I am agreat admirer of American drive and abilit yand I am also a great admirer of Englishcalmness and efficiency. But I wish to statefor the record that we are neither; nor dowe wish to be. We just want to be Can-adians .
As to what Canadians are, that is one fo rthe doctors of philosophy. We have beencalled conservative and reserved. Punditstell us we possess an inferiority complex an dthat we fail to realize our potentialities . Andon into the books.
Well, I agree with the sages, But I wishto report that during the past six years awar has been going on. And, if nothingelse, the conclusion to the said war has re-vealed that this country did a very fine jobindeed. Any Canadian will tell you thatand argue it long into the night. There goesthe inferiority complex, and there go those
HERE WE ARE talking about the weathe ragain .
We write a great diatribe against snow inthe East. So what happens? That whitestuff covering the campus wasn't a delug eof political pamphlets torn up small in de -fiance of some regulation or other .
It was weather .So, contrary to popular opinion, we have
decided to do something about it . Our planwhich shall be developed at some length i nthese columns will not only be of grea tbenefit to mankind in general but wil lprovide employment for vast numbers ofveterans particularly those interested i nresearch.
Vats To YouThe plan involves great vats of molten
glass, Stratoglassatories, placed at equaldistances apart . around the Equator. Thesevats will belch forth stratoglass in gaseousform which will rise into the atmosphere t oan altitude predetermined by the tempera-ture at which the glass will solidify .
The solidified glass will form a belt aroun dthe earth diverting heat towards the poles .At the same time the equatorial ring isformed two rings will be formed at theTro'pics of Cancer and Capricorn to formstrong ribs for the transparent glass globewhich will eventually circle the earth .
Thus a constant temperature is introducedall over the earth doing away with Eskimo sand Grade Seven geography .
The second is that the drive comes at atime when students aer too busy to careabout campaign quotas .
The first objection is easily answered .Registration authorities estimate that studen tenrolment will not drop below 4,000 afte rthe last serviceman leaves . In addition, notonly business, but a great deal of theCanadian population, is moving to BritishColumbia . This means more future uni-versity students . But if the enrolment isanywhere above 1,000, gymnasium facilitiesare still inadequate .
The second criticism of lack of time ca nbe answered by a shrug of the shouldersby any of the hard-working committee mem-bers. Students have always been busy ;students will always been busy. And theyhave managed four different campaigns i nthe past despite overburdened t i m eschedules .
and will be greater the coming year .But it is the voters themselves who have
the greatest responsibility of all . Theirs isthe task to place the presidential gavel an dcash box and ledger into the hands of theirchosen student leaders .
Elections for the presidency of the AlmaMater Society are being held tomororw .Get out and vote.
other points, though lagging a bit perhaps .Now, admittedly, Canadians lack what the
scholars call culture. I beg to remind youthat Canada is three thousand miles wide ,has but eleven million people and has onl ybeen confederated since 1867 .
Before this space runs out I would like t oput down the thoughts of this piece . Thereare some things, rightly or wrongly, that Iwould like to see in this new country .
To begin with, let's have a sense of humor .Let the French-speaking Canadians laugh a tthe English-speaking Canadians and let theEnglish-speaking Canadians laugh at theFrench-speaking Canadians . Humor coul dcure a lot of evils, not precipitate them, asnow when a wise-crack against any groupmeans a national crisis.
Let us also have culture, as say the sages .Let the authors write their books, 'But letthem write on the common man, not on aMember of Parliament from a rural Quebecconstituency, or a famous newspaper col-umnist with a ranch in the Cariboo district .Let them write from the bottom not the topof the scale . Let our musicians write thei rmusic but let it not all be of the great wid enorth, give it some of the crescendo of th efarmlands, the rhythm of industry . Let ourpainters carry on the tradition so finelybegun. But more than these let the Can-adian people pursue this culture, argue it ,refute it in part and, above all, accept it a sa whole .
Let us think twice before we are luredto other countries by higher salaries . Letus not oppose immigration with the stockanswer that this country cannot support alarger population .
Let us have tolerance ; let us have a wideview, let us not become so engrossed in our -selves that we become isolationists, sufficien tunto ourselves .
Let us not forget God.
It will also do away with songs dealin gwith the seasons and snow and rain. Theywill have to write songs about thingsrhyming with isothermal which will probabl ycause a high rate of suicide among song -writers which will be a great boon to man-kind.
Sorry, LeoAlso it will do away with tourists and
such undesirable things . Whereupon Mr .Leo Sweeney rises out of the ground andsmites us with an outsize hatchet .
But do not worry, ski enthusiasts, suchgreat minds as ours will not balk at supply-ing artificial snow on convenient mountai ntops .
Of course certain technical aspects wil lhave to be attended to . The glass willnaturally be of tough fibrous material t orepel the odd meteor whipping throughspace, to say nothing of various invasionships from other planets .
A gigantic defrosting device will operat eto keep the outside of the glass clear fro mfrost so that vision to the stars and othe rplanets will not be impaired .
Small observatories will be erected onthe glass to permit astronomers to be neare rtheir work .
Rain will be permitted to fall each eveningas moisture from the earth condenses on theinside of the glass.

Home Thoughts From A Broad . . by Marian Ball
Dunlop, freshette Queen of the
Mardi Gras, Speed saw so much
of said beautiful creature that he
is toying with the idea, just the
idea and just toying, of offering
Miss Dunlop the position of officialtypist for the news staff, Appar-ently Ashton has his mind on other
worries, for he merely shrugs atthe suggestion) .
While the news staff is preparin gthe daily scripts and the announcersare busily reading them over, theclub's hard-working secretary, PatOttewell, (known rather fondlynowadays as Miss Laringitis) ,strolls in, has a brief discoursewith Mr . Watts, and then hidesherself behind the typewriter tobat out her daily quota of scrip tpages. The typewriter has longbeen the club's main bottle neck,out it seems that they are toinherit another machine in the nearfuture. Could be Watts has beentalking again .
It's not long then before MaryMcLeod, freshette writer of "Musi cfrom Varsity" and producer of"Campus Classics" arrives on th escene. As soon as possible shetakes over the typewriter to knoc kout her daily script, and thenwanders out again muttering fou limprecations, sometimes in Greek,under her breath . She is definitelythe wild woman of the society.That was for Uncle Ronald, Mary) .
With the official opening of theUniversity Radio Society on Jan-uary 23 came a minor climax i nthe history of Derwin Baird's brai nchild .
Heading a membership of severalhundred percent greater than i twas just four yearn ago is 'Swede 'Bill Watts. Contrary to previousprocedure, Bill has divided thingsup and now carries on mainly asthe official big boy, while th edepartment heads worry about th ework .
It's a crazy bunch of happy-go-lucky imbeciles that gather in theURS Productions office these days .The usual calm of the north Brockbasement is shattered every da yaround eleven o'clock as the gangtroupe in. Watts, carrying theofficial title of Director-Manager ,is almost invariably there to mee tthem .
Among the early arrivals is Phi lAshton, who, as News Editor, i sresponsible for the daily newscaststhat are piped to the Brock an dCat. His is no snap job, he keepstelling us, looking from one wire -basket to the next, trying to findthe phone number of the beautifu lcoed who just left a lost ad .
Ashton never gets a chance t ofind those phone numbers, though .It seems that Gene Ryan and SpeedField invariably beat him to them(Incidentally, following the broad -cast of an interview with Rubyti.
The Gang's All HereOnce James ,Beard, Chief of
Drama, and Loyd Bulmur, ChiefProgram Engineer, arrive, the gan gis getting complete. Bulmur yell ssomething about "Cut out the pro-ductions office," Beard screams"I'm a father," and everybody' shappy. Fred Allen's Senator Clag-horn takes an immediate beating ;Ray Perrault, Chief Announcer,comes iri with his program Ikeda ,and the URS is on the air, overthe campus broadcasting system .
Oh yes, it's about this time thata cloud of cigar smoke blows intothe office. After a close inspectionit is usually found that sportsannouncer Bill McKinnon is hidingin it somewhere, just burning wit hsome scoop straight from th eNews-H.
After one-thirty a great portionof the gang returns to their lectures(all except Watts, he hasn't any) ,but Ray Perrault, supported byhis brother Ernie and James Beard ,take over the studio for the re-

their darndest to carry an on-the -

Forthcoming additions to the
clubs facilities and operations ar eanother half hour of drama fromdowntown, a direct wire from theBrock studios to the downtownstations, and eventually, eventually ,that is, the dream of all members ,a complete broadcasting station onthe campus .

MEETING: Social Problems Clu bdiscussion of program and Ray-mond Davies talk in Arts 204, 12 :30Tuesday .
Dear Madam :I was pleased to read the edi-
torials about plans for building son the campus . I do not agree witheverything, however, and wouldlike to offer some thoughts. '
I disagree with the editor 's useof the word permanent, especiallyas applied to buildings . Just whata permanent building Is, I am notquite positive as I have had n ostudies in architecture . You seemto suggest it is a building thatwill last materially well over onehundred years (perhaps two o rthree hundred?) . If that Is themeaning of permanent buildings,I will not support any project thatwill clutter up this campus in twoor three hundred years hence asrelics of the twentieth century. Itis a difficult enough task to con-vince . people that semipermanentbuildings need replacing withouthaving to include permanentbuildings.
My question is, "Just how perm -anent is a building?" Its founda-tions and structure may endurefor centuries, but i.e it still usefu lafter these centuries? Havingvisited England recently, I cansay, that the antique buildingsthere are most inadequate for an ypurpose. The Englishmen a r erealizing this fact and planning toreplace most of these ruthlessrelics regardless of structuralsoundness. Are we now planningto build structures to last forcenturies that will bog downbuilding programs then ?
We need not look so far afieldbut merely around Vancouver .How many unsightly homes ,offices, stores, and factories, buil tless than fifty years ago, would bebetter replaced. They were with-out a doubt considered moder nwhen erected . Even the old HotelVancouver, so prominent in thenews today, was a twentieth cen-tury structure but is now replaced .Our own science building doesnot seem to be the most modernnow .
Homes are the most versatile o fall buildings . This means dormi •tories to the campus. Would th esuper planned dorms built now b eso super in 2046? I do not believ eso. I have faith in men andscience that in merely fifty yearsmany more new conveniences forhousehold buildings or for an ytype of building will be perfected .Science or the advancement ofman is not going to suddenly atopdead, so why ignore it.
I would not suggest we shouldlive or study in army huts or any-thing like . Nevertheless, planningbuildings that last for ever willnot make ours the best campus inCanada. The campus that ca neasily replace out-dated building swith the most modern will be best .
Just a UBC student .
Moo ActionDear Madam :
Cheers for Mr. Stainsby . Al-though the cows have been milked ,they are not contented . It is justabout time for the students to re -,,,lt ,against the B.C. Electric'smilkiri ; machine schedule. Let'shave some ,moo action!

Ruby AgainDear Madam :
In answer to Bob Harwood'sletter, I would like to say that th eleek of publicity in the downtownpapers of Ruby Dunlop's crown-ing was most unfortunate .
All publicity for the Mardi Gra swas arranged to appear before th eparty itself, solely for the purposeof making it as great a success aspossible, financially and otherwise .All the piwpers were most co-oper-ative and gave a large amount ofspace to the Bali which was nolittle help. The Mardi Gras partywas coverd by the papers who ap-parently didn't feel that thecrowning of the Queen warrantedmore than mere mention . Howeverthe announcement did appear inall three downtown papers .
Sorority girls as well as lnde -
pendent, were surprised anddisappointed at the little spacedevoted to a news item that theyfelt should have been in the head -lines .
Though she has received con-gratulations personally from theGreek Letter Societies, I wouldlike to now, on behalf of sororitywomen, congratulate Ruby on be -coming Queen of the Mardi Gras .We believe that she is one of theloveliest and most charmingQueens ever to reign on this cam-pus (and we all' admit it) .
Peggy Wilkinson .
Dear Madam :So the Ubyssey is the campus
newspaper! Well, Well. Andyou 're the editor-in-chief. Fine .So far we have a newspaper andan editor-In-chief. There are ru-mors that you have reporters an dcameramen—somewhere--bu twhere the hell were they whenthe Mardi Gras Queen was chosen?The Mardi 'Gras? Oh, we're sor-ry. We thought everyone ha dheard of it. No, it was last week .If this is a secret from you weapologize; but if It isn't then wefeel the Ubyssey owes the apology.
There was a very small item in7<uesday's issue regarding theMardi Gras Queen. The ridicu-lousness of this effort was morethan even our club could stand.We imagine, had the University ofTanganyika broken a new trackrecord in the Pogo-stick spring, i tprobably would have replaced thefew lines concerning Queen RubyDunlop.
We refer you to past editions ofthe Ubyssey concerning theQueens who have come and gone.All those elected previously werefrom some sorority. Ruby was afreshette. Think it over!
Yes, the Ubyssey Is the campusnewspaper, and you're the editor.in-chief. Foolish isn't it.
Jokers Club .
Dead Madam :A week ago Last Thursday and
Friday night NEWS was made .For the first time a freshette waselected to the enviable position ofQueen at the annual UBC ball.
Photographers worked overtim eto get pictures to Victoria in ans-wer to an appeal from a dailypaper, yet Ruby's own campus pa-per chose to insert 19 words abouther victory, squashing the an-nouncement in with a notice ofher chore for the next Saturday' sissue.
Did the editor not have roomfor pictures and a-write up suchas have been shown every otheryear? The paper was so undersetthat it had to have large spacesfilled with Toties, a huge needlessadvertisement of the Totem, an dlast year's sport pictures .
In past years, the downtownpapers were well supplied withinformation of the Red Cross Ball sand pictures of the sororityqueens,
What's the matter, Ubyssey? Wasthe party too much of a stress andstrain?
Ruby's truly ,Dick O'Hara ,Mike Stacey,Barrie Jeffery,Roy Bartholomew,
and 6000 others.
EDITOR'S NOTE: We herebydraw to a close the Case of theMissing Story. However, we pointout again that In the past threeyears NO mention whatsoever ha sappeared in our columns about theQueen of the Red Cross Ball afte rthe election. The Tuesday editorwill cheerfully supply a pint ofsuds to Dick O'Hara and associatesfor every story announcing thewinner of the crown if they willagree to supply an equal quantit yfor every year the story wasomitted.
Strange as it may seem, thePublications Board does not publishthe Sun, Province, or News-Heraldand hence disclaims all responef-blilty for their actions.

the sun shines on the other side of the tw o

Our stratoglass, which of course has highinsulation properties, will have doors placedconveniently about so that we may sen drocket ships to the stratosphere, which willbe guarded so that only our own ships ca npass in .
Ha, Mr. TwainOf course people will no longer be abl e
to talk about the weather but for the nextthousand years they can open conversationswith comments about the miracle of strato-glass .
And after that the human mind will be sohighly developed that they will open con-versations on a much higher plane, such as"Say, last week when I was up visiting mymother-in-law on Polarus— "
