SCIENCE In OUR TOWN

Things are doing in the scientific
line these days. Years Of patieut and
seemingly protitless laboratory expert
mentation are eliminating Just now
In the announcement OF wonderful
discoveries. Even the mercSt tyro
can run over on his fingers the names
of several new things which have be-
come public property within the last
few years-such as radium. liquid air,
wireless telegraphy, color photography.
third rail electric roads, moving pic
lures, and the like. We know about
these things. even in Our Town.
One reason is that the men who are
responsible for these discoveries have
come to places like Our Town and
told the people about them. They
have explained what the discovery is:
how it was discoyered; what it is good
for, and what it means to the people.
They have used the Lyceum platform
as a means of reaching and interesting
the people, wherein they have shown
wisdom, for the Lyceum catches the
ear of the rank and file of humanity.
Therefore, the people have a practical
interest and enthusiasm for the dis
coveries of science.
This works for the cause in two
ways. You know how scornful the
people used to be concerning any new
inventions; how they sneered at Robert
Fulton's steamboat and said, as they
stood on the river bank watching its
first trial, "You can't make 1t go!'
And how, when it did go, they cried,
"You can't make it stop" Well. this
same public is trained now so that it
believes in the possibility of almost
any proposed innovation. 1t is ready
for the realization of any scientific
dream and vision.
And the other way it helps is in
opening the way for embryonic scien-
lists to start out and see what they
can do. Frequently scientific lee
turer has touched match to a latent
ambition and it has famed up into a
wonderful life Of service. Sometimes
these lecturers have stirred men with
means to endow fellowships, where
those of scientific bent may pursue
their studies. The fellowships of
physical science at Harvard, Columbia
and the University of Pennsylvania
are the direct results of the scientific
lectures of John Tyndall. The more
a man knows, the deeper is his inter
est. Every great discovery has been
possible because somebody had an
interest in the subject.
What the Lyceum has done to en-
courage scientific investigation IL
significant; it does not yet appear
what II may do.

Why His Advertising Didn't Pay

He adopted the policy OF running
down his competitors.
lie did not make his advertisements
interesting, attractive, or convincing.
lie was conscious OF the superiority
Of what lie had TO sell, but did not
know how to bring 1t to the attention
OF Others effectively.
He did not know that fatal react
ion always follows deception.
He did dot know that brief,
graphic description in few short,
pungent, telling sentences that will
attract and hold the attention, is
more effective than whole page Of
print, written in Il loose -iointed, hap
hazard way.
His advertisements ''pulled": but
the effect was lost in bad handling
afterwards; in careless, inefficient
correspondence.
He never learned that many n good
customer has been lost by careless
letter.
He did not follow up his advertise
ments until he got the ear OF the
public.

Labor Commissioner AXel Swanson
completed his biennial report to the
secretary of state last Monday, and
one of the subjects to be dealt with
in the report is the increase of Jap
anese labor throughout the state.
The report will probably give the
views of the labor commissioner on
the protests recently filed by farmers
near Rocky Ford, their complaint be-
ing that the Japanese farmers are
running the melon business in the
world-famous district by raising in
ferior grades of melons and selling
them at low prices. The labor com
missioner has conducted an investi-
CATION of the conditions of the Jap
anese farmers near Rocky Ford.
Recently, since the filing of their
first protests, the farmers have noti-
fed the labor commissioner that un.
less conditions are improved and
prices for melons become better, the
crop will be curtailed toa large extent
next year. A threat to cut out the
cantaloupe crop altogether is made.
Commissioner Swanson is not certain
that any definite action can be taken
to prevent the Japs from raising
cheaper melons, except through CO.
operation with commission dealers.
An effort to secure the cooperation
of all commission men and buyers will
be made before the opening of the
melon season next year.-La Junta

Washington, D. G., Nov 19.-The de-
cision Of the supreme court OF the
United States in what is known as the
Flaming case, which involved the
rights OBJ about thirteen thousand per-
sons of Choctaw Indian blood, and who
were excluded from enrolment by the
secretary of the interior, removes the
last hope Of these claimants OF their
ever being able to enforce their rights
In the courts. The decision Of the
court In this case, t is said, is broader
than in any of the previous cases that
have been r5r aled to the supreme
court for decision. The court held in
substance that the grant to the Choc-
taws and Chickasaws was to them only
during the life OF The Choctaw nation
and that the use OF the words, in fee
simple to them air their descendants,
were words of limitation and not OF
purchase. In other words, the grant
ito the Choctaw nation in fee simple
to them and their descendants to inure
to them while they shall exist as ma
tion and live on it," was grant to
the nation only during its life and the
words succeeding "the Choctaw ma
tion" were superfluous, just as in the
case of a grant to "a" the addition Of
the words and his heirs, and in the
case of a corporation the addition Of
the words its successors and assigns,
are superfluous and unnecessary.

the court holds, the property passed

States and became part OF the pub

WHISKY STORED IN
 BARN IS STOLEN

Florence, July 24-tSpeciaL) )-Turner Aherfa.uy VII. Absrnathy, Allen Haley. white men, and Harvey Jones, colored, are in jail here charged with the theft of 120 pints of whisky from Tom Harlan. The whisky was stored in Harlan's barn, which was broken into early yesterday morning When the robbery was dis covered Harlan sent to Lawrenceburg for the Davis bloodhounds, which reached Florence last night at g o'clock. The dogs took the trail at once and followed it a short distance to where the burglars were supposed to have gotten in buggy Suspicion was first directed to the Aber- nothys and their companions by the fact that they were treating lavishly yester- day and when arrested Turner Abernathy had three pints of whisky on him. Will Abernathy was released last night on q light bond but rearrested this morning when additional evidence was secured against him.
 Harlan, when asked why he kept whisky ir such fuaEtI,les, statrI that it was for his own private use, but the Ab- na.f.s intimate tha. there may be cuine interesting developments in that connec- ton later. Harlan is now under indict- ment in the circuit court for selling whisky.
