AIR CURRENTS,
The Forces That Operate to Make the
Wind Blow.

Tho Forces That Operate to Make the
Wind Blow.
In reference to air currents and the
reasons why the wind blows the as
tronomer royal Of England explains
that air consists of gaseous particles
all trying to get away from one an
other, and that under certain condi-
tons they can be compelled to come
closer together by contraction or forced
to fly further apart by expansion. A
quart bottle, for example,. holds twenty
two grains Of air at the temperature
OF 20 degrees. II the bottle be cooled
by surrounding it with ice the. air in
side contracts. When this occurs more
air PUSHES in through the bottles neck
The quart OF air now weighs more
than twenty-five grains. Ii the bot
tie be heated the air it contains ex-
pands. its tiny particles fly further
asunder. and many of them escape
from the bottle altogether There is
still Quart of air. but it weighs much
less than the original twenty-five
grains.
Now, consider the earth and the sea
under the influence Of varying degrees
Of the suns heat Where the heat is
greatest the air is made lighter and

BY CARL MOTE.

What shall the Republican party
do to be saved?"
j. Frank Hanly and an unascertain.
ed number of others are saving just
now: Put the county local option
plank back in the Republican state
platform from which it was yanked by
the state convention of 1910"
The Methodist church which claims
SO. 900 voters in the state, SIS per cent
of which are Republican. says, Put it
back" The anti-saloon league, says
Put it back" and the rank and file of
Republicans in score of counties
says, Put it back"
The unanimity of the opposition to
the restoration of the missing plank
in wet" communities, is appalling.
To these republicans. the move means
almost humiliation of the party in
Indiana politics. The chief opposition
comes from South Bend. Richmond
Terre Haute and the Ohio river coun.
ties.
Notwithstanding the opposition,
there is disposition among the
"wets" to let the old ship sink and the
contest go by default. This attitude
is based upon the conviction that the
grand old party in any event, has lit
tie chance of victory next year. 1t is
feared widely that the shortcomings of
the national administration will be too
great handicap in the state cam.
paign.
Republicans are saying that it will
take one Democratic national admin.
istration to clear the atmosphere"
and that party might as we'll have it's
innings now. This view was likened,
by one man, to the theory of the gen.
eral who sent a crippled army on the
field of battle to teach it the lesson of
obedience.
Whatever ill betides, the Republican
party has in local option. it's most vital
issue for the campaign of 1912
The demand for the reaffirmation of
the party's position in 1908 in county
local option comes principally from

Former Deputy State Auditor J. E
Reed believes the Republicans either
should declare for county local op
ton, $1,000 license and the nmita
ton of the saloons to one for each
1 900 population or condemn the Tom
Marshall constitution and declare fol
a constitutional convention and the
submission of statewide prohibition to

and if the ratio is reduced very much
he must resort to both gambling and

Reed believes the statewide pro-
hibition plank would appeal to the
prohibitionists and that the Republi.
cans would poll almost their entire
strength If the second proposition were
championed. He cited an analysis of
the vote in a Grant county precinct in

One day he sent her FIVE pound box

he would be in the city the next Sun

message: international code-Isle OF

She had no idea what the three

got out all the code books she could
find and finally went to the telegraph
office to see If that department had

could give her no assistance. She
thought the words over and over
again and began to say them aloud.
Suddenly it dawned on her-"I love
