The new political parties that have been Or

Campaign 1t was thought that the climax had
been reached when Col Sydney Tapp organized his
new party at Chattanooga last week, but the latest
and most original and what promises to be the
most popular of all the new parties is the DooDang
party.
The platform of the new party is a taking

vidual. With that liberal plank embodied into
law, we should no longer be puzzling over the

We must walk in trot, converse only in epigrams
and he who would read must surely run. The

needless hurry and remind us of what we have

ness. 1t takes sorry man to loaf. But it takes
a sensible man to loaf proftably and gracefully; to

dence of his constituents so lastingly
that they will vote almost to a man as
he wishes.

from their desires. If his ward has a

Metallic Mirrore

The production of metallic mirrors
for searchlights and other such uses
is now in demand in Europe. Those
made of glass, now used, are objec-
tionable owing to their liability to
fracture when the guns are fired on
ships, and to the silvering on the mir
rors blistering and separating from
the glass. A new metallic mirror,
made partly by electro.deposition is
being introduced. The mirror has a
surface composed of alternate bands
or rings of gold and white rejecting
surfaces. 1t is claimed that this mir
ror gives more penetrating beam of
light, both at night ami in fOggy
weather; that objects OH which such
beam of light is thrown stand out
in greater relief than in light
thrown from a silver white metal mir
ror, and that the intensity of the light
is so great that it is impossible to aim
accurately at the protector Another
advantage claimed for the new mir
rors is that they are not fractured by
concussion, and that even when pen
Grated by bullets the area of distor
tion is very small.

The term political boss images to

whose votes he harvests on election

through Milk Inspector Hagen. The
raid, said to be the largest made in the

that the milk was not the product OF
local dairles, but was shipped in from
various places in Ohio, Kentucky and
Indiana. Nearly 400 large cans, con-
tanning each from 20 gallons to 40 gal
Ions, were condemned. In each of the
cans condemned red fluid was pour
cd, making the milk unstable.
