VACATION BY AUTO

What a fine thing for everybody is
this rapidly growing tendency to take
the annual vacation in an automobile
trip! Many will cross the continent by
one route and back another says the
editor of Farm and Home. thus cover
ing 5000 to 5000 miles, and seeingimuch
more than is possible in a trip by
visited. old friends looked up and
many a longed-for wish is being grati-
fed Westerners in large numbers are
taking their cars east, Washington, the
Berkshires and the seashore being the
objective points. The fine eastern high
ways make strong appeal to motor
lists.

o,HARA LOOMS UP BRIEFLY

MOT the least interesting thing
v about the trip of the Liberty Bell
across the continent is the fact
that it served to enable Barratt O'Hara
to emerge for few minutes from the
obscurity in which he has been
plunged for the last two years.
OF course every one remembers
O'Hara. He is the busy individual
who cut a wide swath one recent win
ter in his capacity as lieutenant gov
ernor and head of a committee ap-
pointed by the Illinois legislature to
investigate wages paid to women en-
gagged in gainful occupations. If not
the actual inventor of the theory that
there is an intimate relation between
morality and the wage rate he at least
discovered how to exploit the idea so
as to give himself and the inquiry he
dominated nationwide notoriety.
Although 1t actually is a matter of
but few months since this occurred
it seems a long while ago, and as one
looks back at it is hard to understand
how such an outrageous attack upon
American womanhood received even
the brief countenance it obtained from
the public and some of the news
papers.
Even as it was. O'Hara has been in
the background ever since, much
against his own will If the Liberty Bell
incident may be taken as a criterion
Governor Dunno was out of the State
when the Bell passed through and the
duty of officially receiving it fell to the
lieutenant governor. True to his in
stinct to make the most of every
situation to exploit O'Hara, he has
written to the Philadelphia newspapers
about 1t.
1t is to be hoped that it will be a
long time before he is again heard
from outside of his own State.

CORRECT ATTITUDE

TUDGE KUNKEL took an absolutely
correct attitude Monday in SEN
fencing to Jail for three months
a prisoner convicted of driving a jit-
ney beyond the speed limit while in
toxicated, when he said:
We can't wait until someone is
seriously injured by one who vio-
lates the law in driving a motor
will be too late. The surer way to
protect those who ride as well as
those who walk in the streets from
the violStors of the law is to i'm
pose the penalty of the law.
This is good common. sense. II the
drivers of automobiles learn that the
law is to be strictly enforced and
that Jail sentences are to be imposed
for violations such as endanger the
lives of their patrons or pedestrians
such practices as those which have
been all too common lately will cease
The life of the jitney depends upon
public favor and it will lose that all
important factor if men who drive the
cars do not conform strictly with the
law. Municipal regulation of the jit.
neys is bound to come sooner or later
and the jitney drivers can do much
to make the yoke light or heavy, al
according to their own conduct. Ed
F. Eisely, who is striving to bring about
better conditions among the jitneys
is moving In the right direction, but
he is not receiving the support which
would indicate that the jitney owners
as whole are with him.

UNCLT SAM PARTNER
OF THE ESKIMO

Uncle Sam has created a new in
dustry in America. Incidentally, he
probably saved a race from destruc-
ton. And more important, he has
added to the store of human happi-
ness. It's SO interesting story that
we think you'd like to hear it.
Back in 1892 there were $4,000 ma
tiy Eskimos living on the western
and northwestern coasts of Alaska
who had no means Of support other
than the precarious means of hunt
ing and fishing. Their life was the
uncertain one of the hunter, trapper
and fisher. White Neutrality-suspicious.
traders-were beginning to debauch
them; selling them trade goods at high
prices and buying their furs, whale
bone and oil at low prices. There
was no way for the natives to ac-
cumulate anything against the pro-
verbal rainy day-or rather icy day,
and no way to provide against want
when the hunting and fishing season
was bad one.
Uncle Sam decided on an expert
ment, The United States bureau of
education began the purchase OF
reindeer over in Northern Europe.
From 1892 to 1902, when importations
ceased, 1880 reidneer had been
brought in at total cost for purchase
care, distribution and training of her.
ders by Lapland teachers up to June
30, 1913 OF S297,000. At the close
Of that year there were in Alaska
62 heards of reindeer, comprising 49,
266 deer, over $4,000 increase in 20
years.
AT the end of the 1913 fiscal year
The government owned 1858 deer in
"a of the herds; 797 natives owned
1884; mission stations owned 5,047
AT $25 per head the total value Of
all reindeer in Alaska had increased
to $l,1S1 $50. A single years increase
in the big herds amounted to S,79O ir
1913, valued at $219,75O. Haven't
the Eskimos a great partner in Uncle
Sam?
To the money value of the rein.
deer experiment must be added the fact
that these Eskimos who live along
the Alaska coast from Bristol Bay
northward in the Youkon basin, have
been advanced in civilization more
than they otherwise would have beer
in century. They now have sure
and increasing means of support.

thermal battery made by poining
two wires of different metals
either platinum and silver or bis
muth and silver and covering the
junction with a heat absorbing sur
face painted with lamp black. The
wire used is SO fine that it can hard
ly be seen without the use of a read
ing glass, ands the absorbing sur
face is about the size of "a pinhead.
This battery is inclised in glass
cell with a window of fluorite. A
vacuum is maintained in the cell, and
it is placed in telescope SO that the
light of the star to be observed is TO
cused upoE the fluorite window.
The tiny battery or thermo-couple,
is connected with a tangent galvo-
meter which is inclosed in an armor
of soft Swedish iron to protect it
from extraneous magnetic influence.
Thus the amount of current general
ed in the thermo-couple by the heat of
the star is measured by the galvo-
meter. Within the galvometer, a
mirror smaller than a pinhead is sus-
pended upon fine thread of spun
quartz. Some distance in front of
the window in the galvometer scale
is set up with a strong light upon it.
This scale is reflected in the little
mirror, which is observed through a
microscope. There is a tiny dot up
on one side of the face of the mir
ror. The generation of the current
in the thermo-couple causes the
quartz thread to twist, turning the
mirror from side to side and this de-
Election is measured upon the reflect
ed image of the scale.

OUR EILION DOLLAR TRADE
BALANCE.

We are indebted to a writer in the
Review of Reviews for figures which
throw an interesting light on the gov
ernment's report of a billion dollar
trade balance the greatest in Amerl-
can history, in a year which has seen
commerce depressed by eleven months
of world war. According to this
writer, in August the value OF wear
ing apparel exported from the Unit
ed States TO other countries was
about $905,000. In December it was
6.717,000. Between last August and
March the value of shoe exports IN
creased from $552,000 to over $4,000
900. In August the value OF American
horses shipped abroad was less than
100000. In October it was nearly
81, 2,00O, 900, in December more than
$1,000, 900 and in February more than
S9,O00,000. Commercial motor cars
exported during the first month Of the
war had a value of $124000. Three
months later the bill to Europe for
this item had risen TO S2,2o6,964 and
in February to over $3,00O,OO0. Is
it any wonder in view of these fig
ures, that the United States should
find trade balance in its favor OF
billion dollars, for the first time Ill
history?
We may have our personal did
ference Of opinion as to the moral
right of this country to accept ano
TO fill orders for munitions OF war
but we cannot deny, nor need We
apologize, for a state of affairs which
means employment for all who want
work, which means the quickening oi
industries which We're Tagging, which
removes the United States from the
debtor nations and places it among
the creditor ones, which insures oul
having a place in the industrial anG
| financial sun for all time to come
| Officials of the department OF COM
merce are at pains to point out that
our wonderfully increased trade bal
ance is not due to any increase in the
sales of war munitions, nor any bene-
| fit derived thereby. "The norma
sales and manufactures during
peace" says an official statement
on this point were greater than those
under existing conditions" Our in
creased trade balance is not due to
orders for munitions of war, In fact
manufactures other than of foodstuf-
fs have been less than in the similar
period before the war. The official
statement is positive on this point:
1T is found that the net incresae of
our total exports has been wholly in
foodstuffs."

THE MACHINE THAT
MEASURES THE HEAT
OF THE STARS

Perhaps the most delicate thermo.
electric natters ever constructed is
that used by w. w. Colbentze, a
physicist of the United States bureau
of standards, in the radiation pyro-
meter with which he has succeeded
in measuring the heat that reaches
tie Garth from 112 celestial bodies
il tluding 105 stars. These measure
ments are the first extensive series
oi tie kind ever made, and the work
was done by Mr.. Coblentze in the Lick
Observatory at Mount Hamilton, Ca.
last summer. AS an example of the
amount of heat that the earth re
ceives from the stars, Mr.. Coblentze
estimated that if the rays of Polaris,
or the North Star were focused up
on a gramme of water, it would re-
fuire a million years for the tenn
perature of the water to raise one
degree Centigrade. The suns rays
will accomplish the same work in
about one minute.
The distinctive thing about the
pyrometer devised by Mr.. Cablentz
is its extreme delicacy, which makes
1t sensitive to change in temper
ature of one millionth Of degree.
With the aid of three-foot reflec-
tor, his instrument will register the
presence of candle fifty-three miles
away.
The vital part Of the instrument u
