CANNON GLOATS
OVER GOMPERS

Washington, Dec. 8.-Speaker Can
non Saturday expressed his senti-
ments toward organized labor and its
leader, Samuel Gompers, with respect
to the latter's campaign for his (the
speaker's) defeat, the occasion being
a call on him by committee from the
local union Of plate engravers. A set
of resolutions commencing the
speaker for his legislative work in be-
half of the plate workers was pre-
scented. Speaker Cannon, after ex-
pressing qualification at the confidence
conveyed, entered into an informal
discussion of the "one-man political
Leadership" of organized labor. He
said that while he bore no enmity to
the president of the American fedora
ton Of labor, he did not believe that
union men as American citizens would
ever accept a dictatorship over their
votes; that If he were a craft worker
he would ally himself with a trade
union because unionism had been the
vehicle of all progress toward better
conditions for the wage Garner; and
while his fealty toward organized la
Dor would not waver il he was afili-
ated With it, he as an American would
hold his franchise above the right of
any leader to direct.

PANAMA BONDS
BRING GOOD PRICE

Washington, Dec. S.-Secretary Cor
telyou Saturday announced the allot-
ments OF Panama bonds sold to vari-
Gus national banks. The list of the
purchasers made public did not in
clude the individual buyers, but
merely the national banks which &C.
CURED the bonds for the purpose pre-
sumably of increasing their circuIa-
ton.
The average price paid for the
bonds was small fraction over 103.
The highest price paid for any consid-
cradle amount was 106,S75 for 100000
by the Farmers and Merchants Ma
tional of Onley, Va. The best price
realized by the government for bonds
allotted was 102.125 and consider
able amount of the issue was allotted
at that price. The allotments were
made in sums of $4,000 and upward,
hundreds of banks taking bonds at
their bids in sums up to sevral mil
lion dollars.

POWER HOUSE UNDER A RIVER.

About twelve miles from the city Of
Baltimore, on the Patapsco river,
there is now nearing completion what
lis probably the most extraordinary
power plant in the United States, if
not in the world. So writes Arthur
H. >Goldsborough in The Technical
World Magazine.
This plant which is being built for
the Patapsco Electric power company,
by the Emerson Ferro Concrete Con-
Istruction company, of Boston, is radi
cal departure from the usual methods
of hydro-electric construction. Briefly
speaking, the dam and power house
are one; in other words, the dam is
made hollow and the interior, which is
about two'hundred feet long and TWEEN
-ty-eight feet wide, is utilized for the
generating machinery.
At the present time the equipment of
the plant consists of two alternators,
directly connected to two five hundred
horse power horizontal turbines. This
will be shortly enlarged by the addi-
ton of another turbine and alternator
of equal power, bringing the total
horse power of the plant up to fifteen
hundred.

CAMERA HELPS SAVE THE EYE.

Doctor Walter Thorner, assistant
at the clinic of eye diseases at the
Royal Charity hospital at Berlin, has
recently made a discovery Of great i'm
portance in the domain OF ocular sci
ence. in solving a problem that several
practitioners had hitherto studied, but
with Indifferent results. He has sue
ceeded in photographing the back OF
the eye and in obtaining good photo
graphic reproductions. So writes
j. B. Van Brussel in The Technical
World Magazine. y
His invention is large improve
ment upon the Helmholtz eye specu-
lum, which permits only OF examining
the back of the eye, while now an i'm
age of it can be fixed. Owing to this
invention the delicate art of the ocu-
list is destined to enter a new phase
which will doubtless be the starting
point of interesting discoveries in the
domain of ocular science.
The failure of all attempts made up
to the present to photograph the In
terror, and the back OF the eye has
been due to the peculiar structure Of
this organ. 1t is difficult, in fact, to
illuminate the eye sufficiently TO OBJ
tain a photograph of it; and even upon
employing a powerful source Of light.
The exposure of the organ would take
too long and would occasion unendur-
able pain to the patient.

WHERE IDLENESS Is TAUGHT.

The ApartmentHoteI Develops the
Type Often Seen in Divorce Courts.
With the coming of the apartment
hotel has come a problem. Its insid-
ious effect upon the women who oc-
cupy it is alarming. They become
fiabby.
The principal reason for the develop
ment of the apartmenthotel is that
life, daily life, everyday life, might be
made easy for the mistress of the
home. 1t has been. IN the apartment
hotel she has absolutely nothing to do,
and we all know who provides mis-
chief for idle hands and idle minds.
says the Delineator.
The number of women thus liberated
from the degrading drudgery'' of
homely, plain duties is constantly and
steadily increasing. The result of the
freedom is a vast crowd of women,
oYerdeveloped as to hips and busts
who spend their days in dressing. in
speeding at mad pace in motor cars,
in gambling at the bridge table or liz
any other exciting advertisement which
causes false stimulation. With many
OF these women dogs take the place of
children. Even in an apartment-ho
there must be something to cuddle, to
fondle, to pet and for which to care.
A bull pup is less trouble" than a
baby. 1t is the idleness of these
women which often leads to the di-
yorce courts.

AUTO CRAZE AMONG
KANSAS FARMERS
USE MACHINES FREELY TO DE-
LIVER PRODUCTS.
FIND THAT IT PAYS WELL
Prairie Roads Are Good in That vi
cinity-AgricuIturist Learns to
Appreciate the Advantages of the
Latest Transportation-Ru Mail
Carriers Interested.

Practically as many motor cars are
owned by farmers in Kansas as are
possessed by the townspeople. The
farmer has learned to appreciate
the advantage CT the automobile as
a thing of convenience in his jour
neys to and from town.
Then there are other considera-
tons. A farmers son from the
southern part of the county went to
a county seat garage the other Sat
urday evening.
What have you that will make a
nice rig to take a fellows girl riding
in?" he asked the agent.
"Well, there's a runabout that is
pretty swift"
will it climb hills? You see she
lives on the other side of Tom Creek
hill, and l have to cross it."
Sure. Get in" and the two went
out to the edge of the town, where
a demonstration was made to show
the PAGES of the machine.
Guess it will do" was the verdict,
as they came back to the garage,
and the young man took from mis-
pocket a check book and filed out a
check for the price.
The beauty of the prairies for au-
tomobiling is that the roads are
good a great part of the year. Kan
sas is in the latitude of Tennessee
and Washington, and the seasons,
except winter, are long. As a re-
suit the motoring is fine and extend
ed trips can be made at a speed that
is a delight to the drivers.
To be sure, there is a twenty
mile state speed limit, but who cares
for that? The driver who keeps
within it on a three mile stretch of
smooth road with no team in sight is
a rarity.
There is a farmer near here who
makes his runabout a truck wag Il
and business cart. He takes in it
a few sacks of wheat and hurries to
the mill and he brings home the gro
ceries for the men in the fields.
His wife runs it as we'll as he
does, and she carries to market her
garden stuff and her butter and eggs.
1t is curious sight to see her ped
ding farm products around the city
in the little runabout. linen in ~
evening the family comes to town
with the same machine, and the con.
cert is enjoyed as regularly by TINS
party as by the people on the block
next to the park.
Rural mail carriers are eager to
get runabouts. 1t is an easy thing N
make the run of twenty-one miles in
three hours. AS was pointed out,
the long period of good reads makes
II feasible to use the machine so
much of the year that there is real
economy in it.
The great grievance CT the motor
ist in the county in the west is
against the mule. Many farmers
drive mules to buggy and wagon. as
well as for work in the field A
mule seems never to understand the
rights of the motor car.
He has a habit of waiting until
the machine is close to him without
a tremor and then waving his ears
and jumping over the nearest barb n
wire fence.
Anything like a general use If
motor cars by farmers can never be
known until the machinery is made
simpler though some of the present
models give even the farmers little
trouble.
