THE HANDY ELECTRIC
FLASH LIGHT

One of the handiest little inventions
of the electric age is the pocket fash
lamp, which has done considerable to
popularize electricity The little de-
vice consists of small metal filament
lamp which gets its current from a
tiny dry battery concealed in the han
die. At the pressure of a button the
light flashes up instantly and 1t is
directed into broad penetrating ray
by mirror reflector.
1t would be quite difficult to cite all
the hundred and one applications and
uses of this little invention. 1t is
used to see the time of day during the
night, as a guide for campers, for
deciphering door numbers after dark,
as a beacon light for the late way
farers and for any number of little
things about the home when a little
light is a most precious thing after
dark. They are vastly safer for peek
ing into dark closets and attics than
striking matches or using a lighter
candle or oil lamp.
1t is planned to make Galveston the
best lighted city in the world

Mexico City, June 22.-One of the
plans evolved by the government
through its Department of Public We'll
fare. Colonization and Industry, to
provide arabic lands for division
among the people-one of the chief
planks of Madero's revolutionary plat
form-is under way. 1t contemplates
the drainage and filling in of the great
bed of Lake Texcoco, some two and
a half miles east of the capital. The
work will require five years, it is esti.
mated, and an expenditure of 4,OOO,-
900 pesos ($2,OOO,OO0 gold. Thou
sands of acres of waste land, now
partly covered with water to the
depth Of two feet, and the remainder
either useless swamp or dry, sandy
stretches, the latter giving rise to the
frequent dust storms which sweep the
capital in the dry season, are to be
reclaimed. This land, according to
plans which are being worked out, is
to be placed on sale to individual
Mexicans at the lowest possible fig
ure and on long term payments.
Lake TeXcoco is the last remnant
of the once mighty body of water
which covered the plateau and CON-
pletely surrounded the ancient city of
Tenochtitlan, now the capital of the
republic. Legend has it that some
where in its depths the treasure of
Montezuma was sunk to prevent it's

WHERE TOWN CRIER

1t is very meet and very right that
Provincetown should be the only

having been bound over to the April

making moonshine whiskey. At the
preliminary hearing Saturday night
Rev. Smith pleaded guilty to the
charge.
Rev. Smith has for several months
been the regular pastor of three small
churches near Sewanee. His "wild-
cat" still was located in the smoke
house few yards from the parsonage
and less than quarter of mile from
his principal church. The outfit de-
stroyed by the officers was complete
and nearly 100 gallons of good beer and
mash were found.
The 'wild-catting parson was caught
only after an all-night chase. He
claims that he did not know that it
was violation of the law to make
whiskey but knew it was wrong to
drink it. He also stated that he never
sold any of his whiskey but had given
some of it to few of his members for
medical purposes.

FIRST MET
THERE IN 1882
BRECKENRIDGE AND DOUGLAS
Both Named at Baltimore in 1860.
Some Political History That
Will Interest Our Readers.

The first national democratic conven-
ton was held in Baltimore, the con-
vention city the democratic party has
selected in 1912, May q, 1882, says the
Louisville Courier journal. The sue
ceeding conventions of that party were
held there until 1860, when it attempt
ed to meet at Charleston, S. q. The
secession of delegates at the Charleston
convention broke it up, and the con-
ventions which named Stephen A.
Douglas and later John 9. Breckinridge
met in Baltimore in June of that year.
The 1912 convention will make the
ninth time the democrats have named
national standard bearers i'll Baltimore.
The term democrat, as used in Ameri-
can politics, was occasionally loosely
applied in the years 1889 80 to the group
of anti-federalists, and thereafter, in
the last decade of the eighteenth CEN
tury and the first two decades of the
nineteenth century, to the party then
known as the republican.
The vigorous adoption of these anti
federalist republicans during Washing
tons administration of French princi-
pies and sympthies led to the applica-
tion of the democratic republican,
which remained in usage for thirty
years. The general attitude was one
of opposition to all centraizing tenden-
cies. With the disappearance of the
federalist party there appeared within
the only party then active two groups,
one of wich became known as the ma
tional republicans and the other retained
the old name of democratic republi-
cans. The former developed into the
whig party, while the latter was COM
pactly organized as the democratic par
ty. This party was organize by jack
son.

addition to being personal one be

struggle between the east and west, in
which the latter, having amost won in

sively in 1928, and brought to the pres
idency the man who in eight years was
