DEATH TOLL OF 1927
More than 100 Americans of national and interna
tional prominence passed away during 1927, whose loss
was of great significance to the arts and professions in
which they wrought so well. The names of a few of the
more prominent follow:
General Leonard Wood, governor-general of the
Philippines; Frank L. Stanton, beloved Southern poet;
Perry S. Heath, father of rural free delivery; Hudson
Maxim, explosive expert and inventor; Judge E. H. Gary,
head of U. S. Steel; Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel
of the Anti-Saloon League; Albert J. Beveridge, ex-sena
tor and author; John Drew, leading American actor;
Charles Deering, implement manufacturer; J. Ogden
Armour, packer; Admiral W. H. Bullard, chairman Fed
eral Radio Commission; David R. Francis, former.gover
nor and statesman.
In the field of education death iaid a heavy hand,
taking such outstanding figures as Ira Remsen of Johns
Hopkins, Harry P. Judson of Chicago, Benjamin Ide
Wheeler of California, A. A. Hammerschlag of Carnegie,
Herbert S. Hadley of Washington University, and others.
Among notable women who died during the year
were Miss Elizabeth Harrison, pioneer kindergartner;
Miss Juliette Low, founder of the Girl Scouts; Mrs. B. F,
Hight and Amelia Bingham, actress; Clara Louise Bum
ham, author, and Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler, pianist.
Carlotta, mad ex-empress of Mexico and widow of Maxi
milian died in Belgium.
Most of those named were ripe in years, several hav
ing far exceeded the allotted three score and ten. The
loss to the world thru their death has been exceedingly
great.
It appears that Lindbergh, Morrow and Will Rogers
have gummed up Mr. Hearst’s Mexican war.
A seat in the Senate costs about as much as one in
the NewT York Stock Exchange, but you get the latter
when you pay for it.
If the physicists can't split the atom they might let
some of our theological hair-splitters have a try at it. '
That Texas flapper bandid who got 14 wears for
holding up a bank was not so good looking, it seems, after
all.
Great hope for the civilization of the Chinese is seen
in the report that they are now using poison gas in their
war. 1
