friendly to William E. Lee, is7of the
opinion that that gentleman may

prohibition platform, with statutory
prohibition as it's principal plank.
The Union is not unfriendly to Mr..
Lee. far from it, but if he should:
make a fight for the governorship on
that issue he ought to: be defeated.
We have had enough temperance
legislation for the present at least:
If we are to have prohibition in this
state it should be constitutional and
not statutory. County option should
be thoroughly tried out before any
further temperance legislation is at
tempted. That is the way many of
those who fought and voted for
county option view it. =.

Americans have been in the habit
of acquiring their musical education
in Europe, and it has been thought
that musical conditions there
we're very superior to those here.
John c.. Freund, a prominent pub
Usher of musical journals, speaking
before the State Music Teachers
convention at Albert Lea, declared
that the musical, atmosphere is of
about the same consistency on both
sides of the Atlantic. America
spends more money every year for
music than all the European coun-
tries combined, and American or
chestras and opera companies are the
best in the world. It is time that
Americans appreciated their country.

s. From any viewpoint the abnor-

The social democrats of Germany

circumstances which will make pos

THE PRINCETON UNION: THURSDAY, JULY L 1915.

Wilkin, Mower and Grant counties
voted "dry,'' and Grow Wing county
"wet" at elections held under the
provisions of the county option law
last Monday. One of the surprises
of the election was the fact that
Brainerd, the largest city in Grow
Wing county, returned a large major
ity against county prohibition,
as it had voted out saloons at a
local option election held last spring.
In Wilkin county the result was
extremely close, the "dlys'' having
only 10 votes to spare. A bitter
fight was waged there as this county
was the last ''wet'' stronghold on
the Dakota border. - a...-9

Robert Lansing, who while coun-
selor of the state department., held
that certain American citizens have
a dual nationality, has been ap-
pointed secretary of state. That one
ruling stamps him as being abso-

and the president would do we'll to
inject some new blood into the pres

ISOLATION, however, can be taken in
the fact that no matter how medic
ere the new secretary proves himself
to be, he will still loom up large

DRAG THE ROADS.

One of the best features of the
Minnesota road law-and it contains
many excellent features-is the pro-
vision made for dragging the roads.
When the new road law (chapter
235 laws of 1879, was enacted many
of the city people, connected with
automobile clubs, found much to
condemn and little to commend in
the law, and the metropolitan dailies
voiced their sentiments.
The author of the law deemed the
dragging of country roads a matter
of such vital Importance that he
provided for the levying of COM
pulsory tax for that purpose. 4
The Minneapolis journal was one
|of the city dailies that could see
no good in the Dunn road law, and
during the 1913 session it was not at
all backward in urging it's objections.
Hence it is extremely gratifying to
us to find in recent issue of that
widely circulated newspaper this
hearty Endorsement of the dragging
provision of the Dunn road law:
"The slogan of every town in Min.
nesota these days ought to be, Drag
the roads Nothing SO quickly puts
dirt road in travelable condition
as the use of the drag after rain.
And nothing will SO quickly make it
way of ruts and holes and humps

HOW TO SHAKE HANDS.
Get the Grip First, According to a Mer-
camille Recina

Get the Grip First, According to Mer-
camille Recipe.
We have found that when you ap-
proach the person to shake hands If
you will get the grip on their hand be-
fore they have time to grip yours you
have gained an advantage. The hand
should be slipped we'll into or over the
hand of the person you want to shake
with-that Is, push the thumb and fore
finger of your hand well into the
thumb and forefinger Of the person
with whom you are shaking. Do it
rather quickly, and the instant you
feel that your hand is in place bring
the grip into play instantly. Don't
grip the hand hard enough to cause
pain to the person with whom you are
shaking, but yet give him a good, firm
grip. After you have practiced a lit
tile you can tell just about how hard
you can squeeze without hurting the
other person
/ Before your hands touch be sure that
you are looking the other person square
in the eye. Don't wait until you have
hold Of his hand, but watch his eye In
stantly, and If you will watch the eye
Of the other one very closely you will
notice that when you bring the grip
into play you can see response in the
features Of the other person.
Then it is a good idea Immediately
when you feel your hand touch the
other person to place your left hand on
his elbow, not below the elbow, but
back Of It, so as to be able to pull his
arm, as it were, toward yours. Don't
pull very hard, but just be firm about
it. Take hold Of the elbow joint with
just little flrmness. Of course these
things are all done practically at the
same time, and 1t viii take little
practice for you to be able tosdo this
and get the best results. Merchants

as failure to use drag.
"The care of the roads we have is
of almost greater Importance than
the building of new ones. Scientific
road maintenance is lesson that'is

"There are two great forces for

Agricultural prosperity has already
made automobilists of some of the
farmers and will make more.
"But the farmer, whether he
drives car or. horse, stands in

his produce to market, and however
short-sighted he may be as yet about
the expenditure Of state money on:

and best way to do that. =" -.

SPEED OF BULLETS.
ingenious Method For Measuring u
Used by the Exports.

Used by the Exports.
The method used by experts to as
certain the velocity Of projectile OF
bullet at the moment it leaves the muz-
zle Of the weapon is as follows:
There is drumlike cylinder Of fixed
diameter and Of sufficiently stiff pa
per to stand being rapidly revolved on
a spindle. As the cylinder is of small
circumference it is necessary that the
speed approach 1000 revolutions a
minute. These revolutions are pro-
duced by electric power, and the count
is made by an exact mechanical regis
ter.
The gun is placed securely at the re-
quired distance from the drum and is
sighted directly at the center of the CYL
inder, which is spinning at so many
rods-even miles-a minute, as its cir
conference determines. With the
drums speed adjusted, an electric cur
rent discharges the weapon, the bullet
striking the center Of the drum as
measured from top to bottom. "a a1s3-
It must be borne in mind that with
the drum stationary the bullet would
pass directly through it on line Of its
diameter, coming out on the other side,
with scarcely Shade Of impeachment"
With the drums periphery whirling at
the rate of 1000 revolutions a minute
and it's diameter only a fraction more
than foot, this would mean a rate of
1000 yards in sixty seconds. Thus in
the fraction Of a second necessary for
the bullet to enter one side of the paper
drum, cross it and pass out at the other
side the opposite side of the drum
would show considerable deviation
from an exact diameter Of line Of pas
sage. n
It is this space of DETECTION, shown
inside the farther rim of the drum, that
is used for computing the velocity Of
the missile. The speed Of the cylinder
may be computed to the ten-thousandth
part of a second IL necessary, and the
lineal distance run IN that time may be
charted in perpendicular lines on the
inner side Of the paper. At whatever
line the bullet penetrates outward It
registers its time In crossing the diam
eter of the cylinder. II it has required
the ten-thousandth part Of a second for
the bullet to proceed one foot from It's
muzzle, velocity in yards or miles may
be computed by anybody.-Pearsona
