SCIENTISTS MAY TALK TO
OTHER PLANETS IN FUTURE
lntersrelar Wireless Communication
Not an Impossibility, in the
Opinion Of Astronomers.

That interstellar wireless cOmmuni-
cation may be a possibility of the fu
ture is a belief now held by not a
few scientists.
NJ Guzman has promised to pay $780,
900 to the astronomer who first estab-
fishes communication with any planet
or star other than Mars.
NJ Guzmans elimination of Mars as
a wireless station in the competition
he 5 promoting is based upon his be-
lief that experiments made by Ameri-
can astronomers in Arizona prove that
a wireless expert who talked with the
Nartians would be oVerpaid if he re-
celved 100000 francs. This perform
ance, TO his mind, is too easy, too lack
ing in romantic and sensational fea
lures to be worthy of the modest for
tune he has dedicated to science.
But, if the Martians have learned
how to build canals without inviting
laudslides, have made of irrigation
processes an exact science, and have,
as various authorities contend, learned
how to fly by their own motive power,
there are numberless specialists in
this country who would be pleased to
ca1 them up by long distance at once.

Uncle Sam Undertakes Task Of

Uncle Sam is playing after fashion

The United States government de-

tives, and of practically all other per
sons, for that matter, not employees of
the canal or members of the United
States army This is desirable for
both administrative and military rea-
sons
The matter of buying the little plots
of land of individual farmers and in
du4ng them to leave the zone has
been simple enough, but the villages
have presented more serious problems,
The plan has been adopted of arrang-
ing with the Panama government for
sites outside the strip Of territory be
longing to the United States, Of pay
ing the villagers literally for their
holdings, and then moving them, bag
and baggage, to the new location.
The latest procedure Of this sort is
going on now IN the transfer of the
half hundred or more souls Of the
village Of Chagres, near the mouth Of
the river Of that name, to a new town
site eight miles outside Of the zone, at
the mouth of another stream. The

Famous War Horses of Old
Replaced by Automobiles

One probable result of the introduc-

custom Of cherishng the memory Of
famous war horses. When generals

before the advent of the field motor
car. their favorite chargers used to re-

Wellington's famous charger, COpen-
hagen, when he died was buried with
full military honors. The Iron Dukes
horse was q magnificent chestnut, and
he carried his master many hundreds
of miles in Spain and at the battle Of
Toulouse.
The remains Of NapoleOn's white
stallion. Marengo, are preserved at the

PLANNING FOR SMALL TOWNS
BY Mo Means Should Only the Large
Cities Be Laid Out With Scien-
tific Care.

Another bothersome misconception is
that city planning relates only to the
larger communities already great and
populous and prosperous, and is not
needed, or at least is not available,
by the smaller places. 1t seems TO be
the unconscious conclusion that 1t is
best to first make all the mistakes of
civic ignorance and community
thouEhtlessness. and to yield as fully
as possible to the greed of special
privilege, in the thought that when the
town becomes really great, IL can af-
ford TO plan for convenience, practic-
ability and progress. The good people
who take this view remind me Of an
acquaintance who considered the serv-
ices of an architect superlluous for
certain building he was having erected.
The carpenter fad handled many build
ings-was he not good enough to SEQ
that this simple structure was properly
put up? SO the work proceeded, the
carpenter accepting and using the floor
plans of his customer without ques-
ton, and it was not until the building
was under roof that the lack Of pro-
vision for any stairway TO the second
floor appeared OF course, the final
cost of the revised house considerably
exceeded what it would have been had
the architect doue his work and the
carpenter his. ! know many towns
that pretty nearly lack a stairway ana
for just about the same rcason.--Amer-
lean Civic Association.

THROWING TRASH IN STREET
Nuisance Complained OF in Washing
ton Prevails in Many Other of the
Country's Cities.

When the wind blows with force 1t
emphasizes the carelessness of the
people who disregard the injunction
against throwing trash in the streets,
says the Washington Star. At nearly
every corner in the downtown section
the wind forms eddies in which are
gathered the bits Of paper that have
been careleSsly tossed aside and al
lowed to drift. These papers repre-
sent an ignoring of a police regula-
ton which prohibits the throwing OF
refuse in the streets. AS an induce
ment to full observance of this re-
Quircment receptacles are stationed at
convenient places in which trash Of
this kind can be placed. 1t only re
quireS little care on the part of all
to keep the streets clean. Every bit
of litter drifting about the streets on
a windy day or lying in the cutters
waiting for the street cleaners hrooms
and shOvels represents slovenly con-
duct on the part of Washingtonians.
A very few people Of this thoughtesS
habit can give the whole city an as
peCt of neglect and lack of care. The
most perfect system of street cleaning
cannot cope with this tendency and
keep the city looking neat SO long as
trash is discarded against the regula-
ton and without the use of the re-
ceptacles. Prosecutions should not be
necessary to put a stop to this bad
habit, but apparently they are needed
to remind the people that the rule
against throwing litter into the streets
is In fnrce and shnuld be observed

Under the Country Sky:
Observation-Disclosures

Tenderly sweet the days go by,
Lovingly still are the nights that
flow
Under the spell of the country sky
Far in a land of Long Ago.
Stars and moon and the silver lake,
Hills and wales and the sparkling
sun
Under the country sky, oh make
Heart and the soul of us one and
one!
Noise and hatred and all things vile
Sink and fade as the hours go by;
Dreams at the gates of the valley
smile
Under the spell of the country sky.
Whistle of quail where the young
wheat swings,
A hermit thrush in the western
wood
Love in the gates Of the valley sings,
And the spell of the country sky is
good.
Wandering winds from the balmy
south,
Fairy feet on the hills go by;
Love with a red rose in her mouth,
Under the spell of the country sky.
Keep me tight in your arms of rest,
Oh quiet land of the dreams of men
The grassy hill and the valleys breast
And the spell of the country sky
again.

Caldwell, April 1s.-Quarter will
neither be given nor asked by the anti
Nugent faction of the Democratic party
In this county, but they will battle the
Nugent- Elder Democrats of Canyon
county in their purpose to support
Robert Elder for national committee
man to the last ditch. At least promi-
nent leaders of the anti Nugent force
announced today that this is their de-
termination and in conformity with
this purpose, they will hold precinct
primary elections throughout the coun-
ty on April 25, at which in some man
ner, the delegates elected to the state
convention at Pocatello will be in
structed to vote against Robert Elder
under any and all conditions which
may develop. These leaders express
confidence in carrying the county
against Elder and in exercising their
claim that the Democrats of the county
are overwhelmingly against him, de-
clares that large number Of delegates
selected by the Nugent element in the
county to the state convention are
against Elder and cannot be induced
to vote for him even though they were
no contesting delegation. In fact, one
OF the leaders of the anti Elder fac
ton states that several of these dele
gates have advised him that they were
not to be classed as Elder men.
