They have been studying and working at 1t for over a year. making their own apparatus with connections to the top of poles on the roofs of their houses and grounding their wires by connection with the water pipes. A few days ago they found they were able to se- cure a spark from one station to the other and their problem now is to transmit it to the key board.

POLITICS.


Was II telepathy that induced Ed
Leigh, editor Of the Bowling Green
Messenger, and Urey Woodson, OF the
lOwensboro Messenger, to write about
la political career at the same time?
Both men have been actively engaged
| in Kentucky politics for many years.
Ed Leigh was In Office under the
Beckham administration and many
others. while Urey Woodson was
picking the plums that fell from the
political tree and clubbing the
branches. where the Beckham fellows
were filling themselves. Each has
enjoyed opportunity for experience,
observation and reflection, and both
|agree. $50
Ed Leigh says: "If 1t (The Mes
senger) had an enemy on earth whose
destruction it sought. 1t could not
wish him more harm than a term OF
office in Frankfort"
Urey woodson contributes this
canny advice:
"Play politics, young man, II you
must, but play 1t as you would poker,
or horseracing, or baseball. or pugil-
ism. or golf, or motoring-play 1t
only as sport, dissipation
recreation from road business-but
play it from the outside. Squander
your money on the game. II need be;
lick the other side in the convention
or primary: carry your point and
nominate and elect your fellow, II
you can; but let 1t always be the
other fellow who takes the Office"

It may be surprising, but Fire
Chief James Wood declares that he
had rather fight a fire in the business
district than one in the residence sec
ton of the city. He gave his reasons
thus: "You see the wind has a clean
sweep in the residence district" said
the big chief. land the flames are
famed so that when a big house
catches on fire 1t is uncertain where
the fire will stop. Now, take a bust
ness house and the atmosphere is
more quiet. and as a result the fire
men can soon drown out the fire.
The fire on the top floor of a big
wholesale house may look more seri-
Gus, but the fire Is easier TO fight,
and usually there is not the light
fancy work TO catch fire and spread
like powder"

DEATH Is PAINLESS.

1t Comes az Natural and Is as Well
come as Sleep.
The fear Of death, which has been so
enormously exploited in dramatic litera-
ture, sacred and otherwise, is said to be
almost without existence in sickness.
Most patients have lost it completely by
the time they become seriously i'll.
Death and sleep are both painless,
according to DR.. Woods Hutchinson, in
the American Magazine, and cause
neither fear nor anxiety by their ap-
proach. 1t is one of the most merciful
things in nature that the overwhelming
majority of the poisons which destroy
life, whether they are those of infec-
tious diseases or those which are elab-
grated from the body's own waste prod
ucts, act as narcotics and abolish con-
seriousness long before the end comes
While death is not in any sense an
a1ogous to sleep, 1t resembles it to the
extent that it is in the vast majority Of
instances not only not painful, but well
come Pain racked and fever scorched
patients long for death as the wearied
toiler longs for sleep.
While many of the processes which
lead to death are painful, death itself
Is painless, natural, like the fading Of a
flower or the falling of a leaf Our
dear ones drift out on the ebbing tide Of
life without fear, without pain, without
regret, save for those they leave be-
hind. When death comes close enough
so that we can see the eyes behind the
mask his face becomes as welcome as
that Of his twin brother" sleep.
