DRYASDUSTERS WANT A TASTE
Excitement over ndi Of Bottle
CT Old Booze In Indiana
Town.

Workmen engaged in tearing down the
old owen county court house at Spen-
Ger, Ind, found a gallon jug Of whisky
buried in a crevice in the liquidation stones.
The jug was sealed with sealing wax and
bore on one side a discolored paper label.
inscribed as follows:
Deposited by Joseph Freeland. 1926: dis
titled in owen county, 1928"
This shows that the liquor is about So
years old. The jug was Of an old time
pattern and showed the marks OF age.
About half OF the contents had evapor-
ated.
The liquor Is now f. the possession Of
the county auditor, who has purchased a
new spoon, preparatory 10 dealing the
precious liquid out in limited quantities To
the county officials and others who have
been taking an active part IN establish

The find caused great excitement. and
there was a stampede to the court house

Everyone wanted a taste OF the LIQUOR.

The auditor, however. persevered in his

MODEL VILLAGE FOR THE POOR

Cook county, Illinois, is building a model

As far as possible the features Of a poor
house have been removed from this model
village. The old type Of single, two or three
story building with large wards, damp
Easements and and dark corridors has been
abandoned. The dormitory will not have to

To allow people conversing by telephone
to see one another is known TO be the ul-
timate goal of those inventors TO whose
labor we are indebted for the evolution Of
telep~hotographic apparatus. As the prob
lem did not so far admit of any practical
solution, inventors have, i'm fact, been
satisfied with transmitting, by wire, photo
graphic pictures, diagrams. handwriting
and the like. According 10 reports just re-
ceived from Denmark, a satisfactory So
luton is now offered. In fact, two young
Danes Cthe brothers Andersen) recently
called at the offices OF Politiken, the
wen known Copenhagen daily. In order to
submit to the editor the principle Of their
idea, particulars OF which cannot yet be
given out. Unlike the Korn apparatus,
optical transmission, according to their
scheme. is not effected by means OF any
material sensitive TO light, such as selen-
ium, nor is a picture produced by photog-
raphie or mechanical means as in all the
apparatus SO far suggested. transmits

so as TO reproduce any objects situated at

EffIcacy of the EIectrophone.

Efficacy of the EIectrOphOne.
The use of the electrophone enabled the
London Evening News to print a verbatim
report OF Lord Rosenbery's speech the
other afternoon, the. sentences being in
type as soon as they were delivered. The
electrophone transmitters-small brass fit
~tings-were attached to the rostrum in the
Glasgow City hall, and in all 1000 miles of
telephone wires were used to connect the
hall with Carmelite House. Except in cities
the wires were overhead. The route was
from the City hall, Glasgow, to the Glas-
gov postoffice by underground wires, and
then, by the overhead trunk system, via
Carlisle railway station, Leeds postoffice,
Hunslet railway station, Sheffield railway
station, London Road station, Nottingham,
Luton railway station, and F1nchley Road
station to the York Road postoffice. Then,
by underground wires the route was to the
trunk telephone, exchange in Carter Lane,
and from there to Carmelite House. Twelve
shorthand reporters listened to the speech
in CaTmelite House, each working two
minutes at a time and then transcribing
his notes. Sub-editors saw that each piece
Of copy was correct and In its place. and
the slips were. in the hands Of the linotype
operators Almost as soon as the words
were heard in London, which was four
seconds after they were spoken in Glas-
gov.
Every intonation, every infection, was as

had been in the same room as myself. Lord
Rosebery thumped the table beside which

Corpus Christi, oct. 22.-Presi-
dent Taft's vacation ended at nine
o'clock this morning when he arrived
here He addressed a meeting of
the Inland Waterways convention,
where delegations from Texas and
surrounding states are discussing
plans for the betterment of the ma
TONS rivers for commercial use. The
president pledged his support to this
Improvement, and assured them the
government was ready to cooperate
with the states private enterprises.
He said the waterways improve
ment has been done in a procession
of jerks. This should be changed, so
that ii can be done Systematically He
said they ought to agree on projects,
have them surveyed bS experts to get
the cost determined, then issue bonds,
secure money and have the work
done. Further he said he believed in
the importance of all the great wa
terways of the country, Also that
before they can get the assistance of
congress they will have to show the
members the feasibility of their
plans as the Commerce committee of
the senate, and rivers and harbors
of the house do not do
anything haphazzard. He said he
didn't believe in prosecuting the rail-
roads but he did believe in keeping
them within the law
