repeat it again, that if the people OF
Falls City want the open saloon we
have no protest TO offer. only two
things We will insist upon. That the
saloon and their abettors keep with

to express Il personal convictions

confessedly under saloon domination.
To this We will not object but we

Minute Measurements.

Because the balance wheels of
watches expand and contract with
changes of temperature they run
slower and faster. according to cir
cumstances. BY making them of diff.
ferent kinds of metal. having different
degrees of expansion with increase of
temperature, the effect of their
changes on the running of watches
may be almost entirely eliminated.
But in dealing with such a problem 1t
is necessary to know the expansibility
of the metal employed.
A means of measuring it is fur
nished by an instrument called a
~dilatometer, in which a system of deli
cate levers or a chain of gear wheels
magnifies the motion of a pointer over
a graduated scale hundreds of time.
At a meeting Of the Physical society
in London not long ago a dilatometer
was exhibited which had a magnifica-
ton of 800 times. SO that the change
in the length of a piece of steel caused
by a single degree of rise or fall of
temperature was clearly measured by

SEX EVEN IN BREAD MOLDS
Scientific Discovery That Will Tend

Layman.

Among the many extraordinary
theories introduced by recent micro
scopic studies is that of sex in bread
molds. After years of patient re-
search it is announced that a distin-
guished scientist has found that these
minute fungi, the lowest order of plant
life, possess the characteristics of
plants of the highest type, and have
the power of reproducing their kind

as sharply differentiated as In human
beings are far from settled, but the
discovery. If it be a discovery, is a
most important contribution to the
fascinating pursuit of the unknown in
nature. Some of the microscopic.
slides show. it is claimed. groups of
fungi which form the product Of
mated bread molds once separated by
thousands of miles. To the u%nscientific
eye they appear as pretty miniature

RECORD TRIP TO REDLANDS
BY WAVERLEY ROADSTER
Popular Electric Car Travels 1862
Miles in a Day

What is known to be the longest
days run for an electric pleasure
vehicle in Southern California and be-
lieved to be the record for the country,
was the trip made last Wednesday to
Redlands and return by a Waverley
roadster driven by w A. Evans, Cali
fornia agent for this machine. The car
averaged sixteen miles an hour for its
running time, though on good streets
it was speeded up to twenty-seven
miles an hour.
The run was made on one charge and
a boost" the car being supplied with
a small amount of juice by an electric
company at Redlands. Mr.. Evans
states that the roads were in a partic-
ularly bad condition for much of the
distance, the automobile road via Glen
dora being closed, making a detour via
San Dimas and Uplands necessary, and
that several miles of road near Up
lands was ployew up this week, MAX
ing 1t almost impossible.
A number of Waverley roadsters have
recently been sold. as they have demon
strated their ability to go long dis
tances at little cost. The entire dis
lance covered on Wednesdays trip was
1862 miles.

NEW OLDSM0BILE MAKES
REMARKABLE SHOWING
Famous Car in New Hands Bids
for Local Publicity

The showing made by the "Autocrat,"
the OIdsmobile entered in the recent Van
derbilt cup race, is considered remarkable
in view of the fact that the car was a
new one and of a design never before tried
out in contest of any kind.
II. NJ. Stillman. assistant factory man
ager, drove and was accompanied by Joe
Louis Chevrolet.
The Autocrat was officially timed for
twenty-one laps and, running as steadily as
clock work. was within minute of the
Finish line when the crowd rushed onto
the course so that in consequence the race
was called.
Stilman was instructed not to endeavor
to break any records or try sensational
stunts" and following these instructions
to the letter. he completed 26544 miles in
265 minutes. thirty-six seconds, including
two stops for gasoline and oil. thus aver
aging a mile a minute actual running
time for the entire distance
Mr.. Stillman states that the car is re-
markedly we'll balanced. and this is prob
ably one reason for the absence of tire
trouble. A feature worth mentioning is
that only once did he skid to any marked
degree, and this fact justifies the adoption
OF the '1ow center of gravity feature as
incorporated in the Autocrat.
The car Is a stock The motor was
teen days before the race. Considering that
in all nineteen cars. most of them special
racing machines which had been tried out
for months, were defeated by the Oldsmo-
bile and not losing sight of the fact that
the winner was a high powered cylinder
car, it is claimed that no car ever made q
better showing of power, speed and, above
ALL reliability. Stillmans fastest time OF
the stretches was at the rate OF eighty-five
miles an hour.

CARS IN CALIFORNIA IN MONTH

writes an enthusiastic motorist to
Chester N. Weaver, general manager
of the Studebaker interests in Cali
fornia.
Weaver says mo" and backs up
his statement with an array of facts
and figures which are nothing short OF
stupendous in the way of pointing out
the tremendous demand which exists
today for automobiles.
"The experienced motorist-and 1
consider myself such, having used one
of your machines for two years." con-
tinues Weaver's interesting CORE
spondent, 1.-The man acquainted with
the pleasures his car can bring him
in the various seasons of the year an
nually looks forward to the months
of October and November as the two
which, above all others. make him re-
ioice to be alive at the wheel. For
the climax of motoring enjoyment
comes in the Indian summer days.
While the letter is unique in some
ways, Weaver describes it as sound
ing the keynote to the cause for the
demand of motor cars during the fall
months and shows by a large pile OF
contracts, Acknowledgements OF cdSh
deposits and specified deliveries with
in the next few weeks of EMF "30'
and Flanders 900 machines, that if
the Indian summer days are not the
sole reason they are at least con-
tributory cause.
According to Weaver, during the
next few weeks more than $500 EMF
and Flanders cars will be sold and de-
livered. More than 1900 represents the
demand in Central and Northern Cal
ifornia, the balance going to Southern
California and a portion of Arizona.
This probably represents a record
never before equaled in the history
of the industry.

AUTO INDUSTRY FIFTH
IN IMPORTANCE IN U. S

Charles II. Bissell, president of the
New Jersey Automobile and Motor
club, in speaking of the automobile,
says:
THE motor car, with it's increasing
ownership and service, bears much the
same relation and value to horse-drawn
vehicles as do the steam and trolley
railroads to the stage coach of our
Erandfathers. The radical and rapid
change from horse-draWn vehicles to
the powerful swift motor car is in
eVitably somewhat ahead of that large
volume Of conservative feeling which
can only change slowly.
To-day the automobile industry, ac-
cOrding to the compilation of the de-
partment of commerce and labor, is
the fifth industry in amount of capital
invested and value of production. The
automobile industry has taken a great
lead in the increased valuation of our
manufacturing industries, and now
that commercial motor vehicles have
proved their worth cannot be headed
off.
1T is for these reasons that all
states must pursue a liberal policy in
dealing with the motor vehicle PROPOSE
ton. The individual states cannot
enact laws for motorists that win re-
suit in the retarding of progressive in
dustry.
IF federal legislation cannot be Sc
cured at this time, the individual states
must enact laws that will permit re-
ciprocal relations between licensed
motorists.
with commercial motor vehicles be-
coming in more constant use the re-
CipToCal arrangements must ensue
otherwise progress is retarded and
this is one of the reasons that the New
Jersey Automobile and Motor club
with its membership Of 200O, has taken
up the battle for the $4,000 New Jersey
motorists"
