DyNAMTTE.-0ne of the peculiar
actions Of dYaamite ascomparsd to
other explosives 10 that lss actionis
downward. Often when in quar-
~ it 10 desired to break huge
rock quickly a cartridge Of dyna-
mite 10 simply placed on top Of the
rock and after being covered with
. little heap of earth is SET of.
The rock 10 split into a number of
pieces. We're black powder heaped
on q rock In the same wav the heap
OF dirt on top would simply be
blown away. leaving the rock un-
harmed. This downward action Of
dynamite makes ID at once the most
powerful Of explosives known. sr
l once assisted at q number Of
experiments &C the Stevens Tnsti-
tute. it being desired to prove the
downward action Of dynamite and
its incredible force. A number Of
blocks Of iron six inches in diameter
and three inches thick were prac-
ticed upon. An ordinary news
paper was spread over one Of the
blocks. A cartridge of dynamite
was placed on top Of the paper, and
after being connected with q fuse
and covered with heap Of dirt the
charge wss set of.
When the block was examined
after the explosion, the print Of the
paper was distinctly impressed into
the surface Of the iron. The reason
was that the paper where the
printers ink bad touched it was
harder than the rest OF the paper,
and by the incredibly hard and
sudden blow struck by The dyna-
mite the imprint of the shape of
the letters was made as plainly on
the iron as il it had been cheese.
A similar experiment vas then
made with an ordinary oak leaf,
and the outline Of the leaf, ribs and
all. were gouged into the iron.
Both Of these blocks of iron are IN
the museum attached to the insti-
tute.

4 sny correspondents Of newspapers
consider the trials Of an editor in
trying TO make readable many Of
the letters and communications
which are submitted to him for
publication.
a well known newspaper reporter
OF Washington, who has risen from
Q country correspondent to q city
reporter, has formulated q few rules
which ell contributors to newspa-
pers should follow. The rules he
has given are - follows:
Express your thoughts in plain,
simple language. and use two small
words rather than one large one.
Newspaper readers haven't time to
look mp the meaning of high sound
inc words in the dictionary.
"Avoid such expressions az slurid
hames' along these lines slast sad
rites' 'as it were q red letter day
and q hundred other phrases which
have become hoary with age. Even
patient, suffering public becomes
tired OF seeing the same thing week
after week.
always use the initials of q
mans name, no matter how much
trouble it 10 to find them, and to be
sure to spell his name correctly.
A person can never quite forgive Q
newspaper which mispells his name.
"Don't believe everything that is
told you. but investigate for your
self.
"Don't let your personal likes
ana oisiikes creep into your news
reports. The public 10 entitled to
the news and 10 not interested in
your personal quarrels.
"Be truthful and never sacrifice
truth to make q story read we'll.
The editor wants you to tell things
as they are.
"Don't try to dictate the policy
OF the paper. That 10 what the ed
itor 10 for and he 10 responsible.
"Never communicate other than
matters Of public importance.
''In case of death. fire. food, de-
structive storms, serious accidents
or weddings, send particulars in full.
"Wrlte your communications in
plain language, and in your own
style, If its needs revision or cor
rection, it will be done by the edi-
tor.
Avoid saying anything about
any local quarrel, feud or distur.
bance, ss it might interfere with
the good name Of the paper you are
contributing to-"

Ohless the unforeseen happens, neither
man Will nave any excuse to offer on the
score OF condition. The question that
sports are asking is. can Jeffries knock
out Ruhl1n in the stipulated number of
rounds? Even the Rubin admirers only
expect the Akron giant to be on his feet
at lhe end OF twenty rounds. Ruhlin's
only boast is that he will be on his feet
at the end OF the last round.
Assuming that the fight should go the
limit ana that Rubin, if anything, might
nave shade the better of the contest, it
would take an extraordinary referee to
declde against the champion of the world.
Ihat IS one of the reasons why men are
laying long odds on Jeffries. OF course
the main reason is that Jeffries has a
much better record.
He is younger and has never yet been
put out in any contest. Rubin may prove
10 De better man than generally an

despises weakness, and all its symptoms.
1t may be taken for granted therefore
that nowadays if a woman faints it is
because of genuine weakness that she
cannot conceal. Instead of wanting male
observation she avoids it and despises
herself for her own frailty.
WHY WOMEN FAINT.
In general women who faint are more
liable to do so at some special periods
than at others, and the liability to faint is
generally increased with the occurrences
of the periodic womanly function. From
this fact alone it might be fairly argued
that there is a close relation between
local womanly weakness and the physical
weakness which causes women to faint.
Womanly ailments surely undermine the
general health. Irregularity, suppress
sion, profusion, unhealthy drains, inAam-
are the diseases which drain the vitality
and weaken the general health of women
and render them liable among other
things to vfainting spells" Cure the
local womanly diseases and there is at
once gain in the general health.

WADDELL RUNS THIRD
Sad Blow to Talent Who Backed

Chicago, Nov. 6.-Robert Waddell, this
years American derby winner, was de-
feated by w. ]. Deboe and lebanon in
the seven furlong race, which was the
feature of the card at Lakeside yesterday.
The little gelding's defeat in such com
pany was Sad blow to the talent, who
had backed Waddell heavily, even at the
short price of to 5. 1t was the derby
winners first appearance in nearly two
months, and in spite of the fact that the
weather was raw and cold a good crowd
was at the track to see him race. Those
who bet on the gelding lost chiefly be-
cause their choice got about as bad a ride
as it was possible to give him. After
getting away we'll, SeatOn took him back
to fourth place, and from there to the
stretch he was in a pocket. Waddell
made a determined bid in the final six

disadvantage, Deboe winning the race by

of Waddell. The race was run in the
slow time of 1929 1-5.

It is also insinuated that place as we'll as

There are hundreds of thousands of

ment. If you are suffering from any
disease peculiar to women there is every
motive for you to try DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription and every encourage
ment to expect complete cure. No
matter how severe the disease, the won
der will be not that Favorite Prescrip-

to do so. It's cures are SO uniform, SO
reliable, that If 1t did not cure you, you
would stand alone, a wonder and mar

of thousands of weak women who have
been made strong and sick women who
have been made we'll by the use of this
great remedy.
Favorite Prescription establishes
regularity, dries weakening drains, heals
inflammation and liberation, and cures
female weakness. AS tonic and nervine
for weak, worn-out, rundown women, it
is without an equal. II promotes the
appetite, tranquilizes the nerves and in-
duces refreshing sleep.
