This would seem cilectually to set

twice as much oxygen as water. and

Of these liquids.
There are two processes for max.
ing peroxide Of hydrogen. In one u
by-product is obtained which is a,
least equal in value to the substanc.
cs employed, and in the other the
chemical is recovered, so that 1t can
be used over and over again as is
done in the Brin oxygen process, by
which 1000 cubic feet of oxygen
are produced at an expense of about
50. BY either process the cost OF
peroXidizing the kerosene is but lit
tie more than that OF handling tn,
liquid. This materially reduces the
expenses for fuel and secures the
utilization of the heavy paraffin H.
guilds. such as kerosene, which are
not now available.

KEEP POUNDING.
By Holland,

The principal value of adj
vcrtiSing consists in the fact
that the influence of advertis-
ing is cumulative. It gains
strength by repetition. This
does not mean the repetition
of one advertisement indefinite
ly. a change of copy is desir.
able. 1t means the continued
advertising of ones business In
as effective a manner as posi-
bic.
One man has been in bust
ness in the town twenty years:
another opened his store las.
week. Both may be equally
honest, equally enterpris,ng,
equally deserving of credit and
custom. But which has the
better reputation? Naturally
the man who has been doing
business in the same building
for twenty years. 1t is the re.
suit of persistency, the incvita-
bic cumulative effect.
You can't get away from !;
your reputation will either
get better or worse as your
business methods become
known. Repetition impresscs
the fact even on the careless
observer. Remember this In
your advertising. Don't cx-
pcct to make a fortune by one
effort. hut use II as one stone to

Quotes Lines OF Play.

Unless one Is thoroughly convcrs
ant with every line OF Shakespeare
there is no arguing with DR.. Owen
for he can quote every line of the
Shakespeare plays. In lecture tt
III" s." :cngers on shipboard he quot.
ed several thousand lines.
DR.. Owen explained that he wa
forced to give up his search for thi
records temporarily because tho
duke upon whose property the rec
ords are buried is asking an cXorbi
tant price to allow the digging to
proceed.
What did you find in your prcvi.
GUS digging?" he was asked.
81 found the kcy to the markings

measurements to the cache are to be

Isn't it queer" the decker asked
pointing his finger and talking
straight to the listener, that vii
liar' Shakespeare, who is supposed
to have written all those wondcrfui
plays, has never left one letter OF
any kind to postcrity? The only
letter written to him which tn,
world has been able to find does not
pertain to anything literary, but il
from an acquaintance who writes H.

!hey neither could read nor write.
Documents left by Shakespeare's
children show their names to have

the name Shakespeare was the mask
under which Sir Francis Bacon

Reasons for Deception.
Dr. owen points out that on the
hFSt printed edition OF ShakcspcarC's
plays there appears a picture label
ed William Shakespeare, which is in
reality a dummy with its coat on
backward tBac-on). thus proclaim
ing the real writer through guisr,
What was Bacon's motive in dis
Suisins that he was the author of
these Plays"
He vas tie real heir TO the Eng
fish throne" the doctor answered.
He was the son of Queen Elizabeth
ana Robert Dudley. Earl Of Lciccs-
ter. and for him to have announced
publicly that he was the author of
ihos" plays would have cost him his
hnad?"
Another reason DR.. Owen gives for
temporarily giving up his digging is
mat hc has more important work,
inc manufacturing of an airshiu
which shall fly from London to New
FORK in three hours. The airship Is
based on a law of science which the
doctor also asserts lie discovered:
TWO bodies in harmonic vibration
cannot touch. His flying craft is
aeonic vibration. which he produced
by means of seven metal bells ana
seven wooden tops which spin with
IN the bells. When the bells have
reached the same tune as the earth
lie says they will life the biggest bat

DIRECT ELECTIONS
AMENDMENT WINS
CONNECTICUT RATIFIES, MAKING
NECESSARY 80 STATES.
BRYAN WILL PROCLAIM ACT
Bristow Made Fight on Amendment in
1912 With Rider--M achusetts
Was the First State to Rati-
fly the Amendment.

| Washington.-Th direct election 81
United States senators by the people
was authorized and made compulsory
Tuesday, when the Connecticut legis
lature ratified the constitutional amend,
ment submitted by congress less than
year ago. Ratification already had
been given by thirty-fve states.
The situation that results throughout
the country, where many legislatures
have adjourned until 1915, is such as
to leave confusion in the minds of
members of the senate as to how the
early steps toward direct election of
senators will be carried out.
While the proclamation of the seq
rotary of state, announcing final rati-
fication of the amendment by thirty.
six states, is required by law, Senator's
Bristow and Borah, leaders in the di-
rect elections fight in congress, ex.
pressed the opinion that the amend
ment is for all practical purposes now
part of the. constitution.
ANY man who may be elected to the
senate hereafter must be elected d.
rectly," said Senator Borah.
The new amendment gives to the
state legislatures, however, the right 70
prescribe the methods for electing SEN
ators. Many legislatures have ad-
journed and will not reconvene until
early in 1915, few weeks before the
terms of over thirty senators expire.
1t is expected that in many states the
legislatures will adopt the plan author
lied in the new amendment and direct
the governors to appoint senators tenn
porarily, until the people can elect
men at regularly called elections. Spe-
cial sessions Of the legislatures will be
urged in many states, so that the nee
essary laws can be passed before the
general elections of 1914. In some
states action has already been taken or
will be before the legislatures end their
present sessions, authorizing the people
to vote for senators at next year'r
election.

THREE IMPORTANT
STATE GATHERINGS
CONVENTIONS TO BE HELD DURING
THE CURRENT WEEK.
Episcopal Council at Hattiesburg, the
Medicos at vicksburg and the Old
Ladies' Home Association
in the Capital City.

Jackson.-Three important state gath
erings are to be held in Mississippi this
week, the Episcopal diocesan council at
Hattiesburg, the Mississippi Medical As
ISOLATION at Vicksburg and the Old La.
dies Home Association in Jackson.
Interest will center chiefly in the
meeting of the medical association be-
cause of the fact that five members of
the state health board, recommended by
that body, and who were recently en-.
gagged in a spirited controversy with
Gov Brewer, have announced their in
tention to resign. It will then remain
to be seen whether the association will
recommend five additional members, in
view of the fact that Gov. Brewer has
announced that he will follow his own
judgment relative to appointments, and
pay no attention to the recommendation
of the association, unless they happen
to be men who meet with his approval.
The origin of the controversy was
the election of new secretary

torted by showing that the board hal
been granting licenses to medical appli.
cants who did not make the required
mark.
The main body of delegates to the
meeting of the Episcopal diocese council
left Jackson, headed by Bishop Theo.
Dnrose Bratton, who will preside over
the sessions. The council will be in
session several days, and has a large
amount of routine business for trans
action.
About fifty of Mississippi's leading
women will gather in Jackson to at
tend the convention of the Old Ladies'
Home Association. This institution,
founded several years ago, has grown
to considerable proportions, and is sup
ported wholly by voluntary contribar
tons raised by the women of the state,
through local circles.

PIRATE TREASURE NOT FOUND
WelLFurnIshed Expedition Returns
Without the Riches II Had Been
In Search OF.

The treasure-hunting party from
Plymouth, England, which has been
searching Cocos island In the Pacific
for treasure supposed to have been
buried there by pirates many years
ago, has arrived at Panama on board
the steamer Melmore without the
hoped for pirate spells. The Melmore
sailed from Barry in September last,
carrying In addition to the officers
and crew, two London ladies and
three gentlemen financially interested
In venture which was fondly hoped
to return 100 per cent. profit.
Two other unsuccessful attempts to
locate the buried gold and jewels OF
the buccaneers made by Earl Fitz-
william and Mr.. Harold Gray did not
diminish the faith of the members Of
the Melmore expedition, who declared
they had specific information of the
exact position Of the accumulated
hoard
One treasure was actually brought
from Lima In 1920, consisting of gold
bullion and articles to the value of
about $25,000,000, and the other treas
ure, which is placed at an even high
er figure, was taken to Cocos island
by the famous pirate Bonito. Despite
the care with which the Melmore was
fitted out-the expedition was esti-
mated to cost $500, 00O-the search ap-
pears to have been fruitless.

sustained serious injuries. He had
stepped from an Alabama and Vicksburg
train, having just arrived at the station

to cross an |. c. track when the motor
cycle, with negro, Ed Kitchens, driving,
struck him, knocking him to the grouno.
His head struck on the plank flooring
near the track, and his lower limbs we're
slightly bruised. Station Master C. V.
Van Buren, and several station employees
took the wounded man to nearby drug
store and physicians were summoned.
He was hurried in an ambulance to the

sidered serious, though so far the exact
extent of his injuries are not known.
