FOR the CHILDREN
A Pretty Experiment.

ANY child can easily perform this
pretty experiment in disqualification.
Take some common soda and dissolve
as much In water rs the water will
hold, When no more soda will dissolve.
although You stir it up, the water Is
what we call saturated solution.
: After the remaining soda has settled
to the bottom pour of the clear solu.
ton into tall glass, tie large bean
10 one end Of a thread and n small
piece Of glass or stone at the other
end The thread should be just long
enough to let both these objects hang
In the solution while the middle Of the
thread rests on a stick placed across
the top Of the glass.
Leave It alone for few days and
you will find that the bean is covered
with sharp little needles of soda look
ing like hoarfrost. while the stone ~
glass has not changed. The reason is
that the bean has absorbed water and
in so doing has crowded out the soda,
which deposits itself on the outside OF
the bean, while the stone, since il can
not absorb water, remains unchanged.

Mouse's Coeoanut House.

In the West Indies there lived III.
tie mouse who liked cocoanuts. He
found a tree of them, and up he ran
joyfully and searched for fine soft
one. He gnawed n little hole, and then
he gnawed this bigger, big enough for
him TO crawl through. In he went,
delightedly. Here was n palace, in
deed-a nice, soft place 10 lie. and
plenty to eat and drink. The food in
the palace was so good that he ate and
ate and ate and ate, and when he was
thirsty he drank of the cocoanut milk.
Now cocoanut milk fattens mice
quicker than anything else does. So
before our mouse knew what had hap
pencd he had grown so fat that he
could not get out OF the cocoanut 10y
the hole through which he had en-
tered. Now. the worst of it.!was that
when mouSie got fat he got lazy. too,
and he didn't care much whether or
not he ever got out Of his nice, warm
home.
And that was how 1t happened that
when the cOcoanut gatherers came to
that tree they found mouse in one
of the cocoanuts.

PRINCIPLES of FIiuht.

Every boy who has played the thrill
ing game OF "tickly benders" on par
ticularly thin ice has applied the prin
ciple Of the aeroplane or heavier than
air machine. As long as one fairly flies
along the ice will bear ones weight,
although 1t may sag or threaten. Let
the speed slacken for an instant. or
the skater come to a standstill and the
experiment will be at an end for that
day at least.
Now an aeroplane may be kept aioft
on exactly the same principle. Let
these broad planes stand still for n
moment and they will begin to fiutter
downward or turn on edge and plunge
swiftly TO the ground. BY keeping
them moving. however, they gain III"
very slight supporting power Of the
air. The greater the speed the NOR"
level is the fight and the less III"
chance OF falling. An aeroplane flight.

LIQUOR TRAFFIC

~ ONIMON sense demands a method
of dealing with the liquor traffic
" that will have the effect of pro-
ducing the greatest good for the
greatest number This is American
ism, and an application of it to condi-
tions viii produce the best results. 1t
is one of the mastery peculiarities Of
the first principles of Americanism that
they are as wide as human nature,
and fit every case. Legislation that
consults the wishes and helps the
plans of any special interest at the
expense of the people cannot be con-
sidered good legislation. and a policy
which has this effect cannot be con-
sidered a good policy for the people.
Therefore we fail to see why there
should be the slightest hesitancy over
approaching correctly and dealing
justly with the case Of the brewing
| interest in its relation to the retail
liquor business and the people. To
accommodate customers is one thing
to take advantage of a license law in
order to obtain monopolistic control Of
market and then to seek diligently
to set about the work of encouraging
and developing that specially created
and fostered market is another. The
absolute divorce of retail traffic in
liquor from the liquor manufacturing
industry and the extinction of blind
pigs, no matter how disguised, are
principal elements in a practical pro-
gram of reform.
The habitual disregard of the wishes
of a large and ever increasing section
of the population by all who are in
terested in the liquor traffic and the
terms of contempt and even of insult
in which many of these reformers are
referred to by persons interested in
pushing the sale of wines and liquors
in order to derive profit therefrom is
revolving to the American sense of
fair play. and will not help the cause
which is engaging the attention of an
ever increasing circle of good Ameri-
cans

AIRSHIP PROGRESS

H HE cable brings word of the pro-
posed construction of a new Yep
Il pelin dirigible over 900 feet long
and so feet in diameter capable OF
carving 800 passengers. This has 81
significant bearing on the war situation
in Europe Airships of the German tyre
are not likely to become factor in
freight or passenger carrying business
The reason is obvious to all who know
anything of the cost of gas for con-
tanners the size of the Zeppelin ship
now in existence or the one projected.
A dirigible capable of carrying 300 pas
sengers would readily carry armament
and explosives sufficient to put the
largest European cities at the mercy of
the sky navigators.
The excessive cost of operation would
seem to eliminate the gas inflated dirig-
ible from commercial use and an aerial
Mauretania would remain in its hangar
until needed for war maneuvers or
actual warfare.
When an attacking dirigible can sail
5000 or 10000 feet in the air circum-
valuation is obsolete, outposts are obso-
lete, MDrtifed lines Of all earthly kinds
are antiquated. The strongest fortifca-
tions Of. the modern type are at the
mercy of an overhead attack and hor~
rible as the idea of using modern scien-
ti1c fight as war method is, it is an
idea that is already being cherished and
studied by military experts.
Some of the best engineers of the
world who have given the subject deep
thought have decided that the rigid
dirigible with a sustaining element OF
small cost will soon be put into COM
meroial service. In order to give Count
zeppelin's airship the necessary struc-
tural rigidity 1t has been built with
metals SO heavy that it requires a
tremendous gas container to lift it,.
Scientists say the expense of imitation
would be greatly reduced by the adop-

QUIBBLlNG OVER BIBLE
HAS NO PLACE IN LETTER BOX

PASADENA, Jan. 19.-[Editor Her.
aldl:' L think the forum is all right
and as a rule interesting and instruc-
tiYe-but 1 don't like to see quibbling
in honest discussion. With your per-
mission, l wish to call j. r. Kits at
tention to the fact that there are 9TH
ers who have read the Christian Bible.
Mr.. kits, you say verse "a of chap
ter "a of Matthew was a. parable. You
convey the idea that Christ was not
referring to the end of this world.
Then you skip around, hunting pas
sages of Scripture that are irrelevant
to the question or meaning of said
verse "a.
See verse 3 of same chapter. Here
his beloved disciples came to Jesus
privately and asked him three ques-
tions in plain language. Tell us when
shall these things be, and what shall
be the sign of thy coming, and of the
end of the world.
Not as you pretend-discontent, I'M
rest, coldness, frost, etc. And the rest
of the whole chapter is Christ's expla-
cation of what would happen before this
world would come to an end. 1t seems
to me, Mr.. kits, you did purposely
misconstrue the teachings of Christ
You go back to Genesis to prove
your makeshifts Read chapter 16 of
Matthew, verse %. Did Christ mean
We of today, 1875 years from that time.
Then in chapter % of Matthew, verse
36, he again speaks of that generation,
and you know it.
Then read Mark xiii, 29-3O; Luke tx,
26, 27; Luke xxi. 31-33. Now, Mr.. Kits.
upon honor, was Christ then talking to
those of that day, or was he address,
ing us 1875 years after his death. See
[ Corinthians, vii, 1929 Paul was
looking for Christ to come soon, and
told people not to marry, and told
married men who had wives to be as
though they had none And to this
day few women and hosts of men
have been following Pauls instruc-
tions.
Paul said the time was to be short
meaning until end of World), but it
has been 1875 years, and the old earth
still moves. Oh, what folly, Any one
who has read the Bible carefully and
wishes to be honest, even in discus
sion, knows that Paul meant the time
was short till the end of this world.
Now, Mr.. Kits, it does not seem just
right to see a minister of Christ quib-

HOLLYWOOD

| M AYoR ALEXANDER proclama-
| H ton urging citizens to be sure
AiA- to vote for the consolidation of
Los Angeles and Hollywood should be
needed by everybody. AS the mayor
points out, the law requires that ma

must be cast in each city INDIE
PENDENTLY OF THE OTHER in
order to make consolidation effective.
There are many reasons why the two
communities should be united. and no
reason has been advanced why they
should not. Their purposes are COM
mon and their destinies are one. 1t
| is believed public sentiment in Los
Angeles and Hollywood is overwhelm-
ingly in favor of consolidation. But
feeling of confidence in the result
should not keep voters from the polls.
Beware of overeonfdence. DO not
neglect your duty because you think
your neighbor has attended to his.
Your vote is needed as well as your
neighbor's.
Hollywood is one of the most desir-
able communities which have been pro-
posed. for consolidation with Los An
geIes, and the voters of Los Angeles
should show their appreciation of the
value of the proposed union by a
heavy VOTE OF WELCOME.
When Hollywood is united with
Greater Los Angeles the metropolis
will be enriched by one Of the most
beautiful and most prosperous sub
urban districts that have ever come
into the family" Hollywood will be
one of the most attractive and one of
the most enterprising sections of the
big city. 1t will bring to the union
fine streets, well paved and admirably
lighted q plentiful independent supply
of water. a system of schools equal to
that of Los Angeles (Which is saying
a great deaD, high school equal to
any in the United States, program
of further improvement of the school
system in the near future, a complete
and highly efficient fire department
and every improvement and convent
ence suggested by the experience of
American civilization, the best and
the most progressive in the world.
Both Los Angeles and Hollywood
will be benefited by consolidation.
Their interests are identical. Working
together the united people can hasten
the metropolization of the entire
Greater Los Angeles area, and the Gre
alton of one vast harmonious, enter
prising. daring, achieving community, |
which viii continue 20 illustrate in a

of your neighbor. Do your part in the |
work which viii establish the suprem-
acy of the commercial, manufacturing. |
