L|TERACY TEST
REASON FOR VETO

Washington, Jan. 27.-Presdent

son for his disapproval the literacy

Two hours of argument at the

his belief that a literacy test is not a
true test of the quality of an immi-

The prospect of repassage of the
bill over the presidents veto was the
absorbing topic of discussion In con-
gressional circles tonight.
An immigration bill vetoed by
President Taft for the same reason
was passed over his veto in the sem

Ivy L. Lee. now a member of the

Sr.. who compiled and wrote the bull
letins which gave the operators side
of the labor difficulties in Colorado
and which was entitled The Truth
About Colorado was another witness

ing an error in these bulletins, which
We're sent broadcast, over the coun-
try.
A sum was stated in the bulletins
as that which the labor organizers
including Mother" Jones, had re-
ceived as compensation for their SER
vices for nine weeks, when in reality
the compensation was for the entire
years work.
The material for the bulletins was
furnished by Mr.. Welborn, president
of the Colorado Fuel & Iron company,
and other operators. Mr. Lee testified.
The bulletins were in transit from
Philadelphia where they were print
ed. to Colorado, when Mr.. Lee re-
ceived telegram from Mr.. Welborn
announcing that an error had been
made in them. The nature Of the
error was not disclosed to Mr.. Lee,
but he said, he advised Mr.. Welborn
to have printed for insertion in the
bulletins correction slip. f1e did not
know the pamphlets had been dis
tributed without this correction slip
until three months later. Then he
sent a correction TO all persons TO
whom the original statement had been
made.

Water on . Hot Stove.


II Is impossible to throw a few drops
OF water on a redhot stove. The wa
ter can never touch the stove at all.
What Is seen Is a few drops rolling
rapidly over the surface, gradually
getting smaller until they disappear.
II the drops are on a perfectly level
place one can see under them to the
other side OF the room. thus proving
that they are not in contact with the
stove itself.
What actually happens Is that the
bottom of the drop changes at once to
steam or vapor on coming close to the
hot surface. and this vapor Is supplied
by the drop as It gradually goes away.
So the drop rests on a cushion OF va
por until It is entirely dissipated- This
state Of water Is known as the spheroi-
dial state and is OF interest simply on
account OF it's popularity and seeming
~ paradoxical behavior.
