GOVERNORS ANNOUNCEMENT

NOVERNOR BRUMBAUGH comes
1T before the Republicans of the
State as a candidate for Presi-
dent, resting his appeal for support
on the record of his administration.
| He has asked. in effect, for a State
wide referendum on his policies and
accomplishments as chief executive of
the Commonwealth. The effect Will
| be to precipitate the long-threatened
fight for party control in Pennsylvania
with the Governor and his friends on
one side and Senator Penrose and his
| friends opposing. The prizes as
one political writer puts it, will be the
control of the delegation to the ma
tional convention, of the nominations
for State office and of the State COM
mittee.'
The Governors announcement does
not come as a surprise. There have
been many indications recently that
the May primaries were not to pass
without contest. The next move on
the political chessboard may be a
counters statement from Senator Pen
tivity on either side, probably, until
this is forthcoming and the issues
made positive and definite.
Under the provisions of the State
wide primaries law candidate for
President may have his name printed
on the ballot. Each candidate for dele
gate and alternate may include the
following statement on his nominating
petition:
hereby declare to the voters of
my political party in the (here in
sert State if a delegate, or alter
nate. delegate e-at-large:. Otherwise
and in attendance as a delegate to
the national convention Of the
party. ! shall with all hdelity' to
ity, in all matters coming before
the convention, support that candi-
date for. President of the. United
States who shall have received the
HIGHEST number of votes cast in
Estate or district) by the voters of
my party for said office at the en-,
suing primary, and shall use all
honorable means within my power
TO aid in securing the nomination
of such candidate for President
on the ballot after the name of the
candidate for delegate shall appear
the words: Promises to support the
popular choice of party in the Estate
or district) for President" or Does
not promise to support the popular
choice of party in the Estate or dis
tricO for President"
The Governors friends will en-
deavor TO elect delegates pledged to
his candidacy by this preferential
clause.

As to effect on the State fight the
Ledger says: Now that the lines have
been clearly drawn between the oppos-
ing factions, Vare-Brumbaugh leaders
will confer. with the object of making
up a straight Brumbaugh ticket. Like
wise Senator Penrose's lieutenants will
make up their own ticket. EX-Speaker
Alter was only one on the original
Brumbaugh or harmony list to whom
Senator Penrose particularly objected.
on his ticket. it is intimated, the SEN
ator will substitute the name of e. V.
Babcock, of Pittsburgh. who withdrew
from the senatorial field in the in
terest of Mr.. Knox. Another who will
appear on the Penrose ticket will be
Republican State Chairman Crow.
Mayor Smith, it is thought, probably
will decide not to run on either of the
tickets. The reopening Of the dele
gates question will lead to a more
forceful campaign against Charles A.
Amber. Vare- -Brumbaugh candidate
for Auditor General, on the part of
Senator Penrose. on the other hand,
it will also lead to a denunciation of
the Penrose candidate. Senator Charles
A. Snyder, by the Brumbaugh leaders.
Local option, q State issue, in one way
or the other will affect the national
issues raised by the Brumbaugh move
ment The Governor would like at the
forthcoming session of the Legislature
TO retrieve the 1915 defeat OF his local
option bill. To this end he will aid in
the nomination and election of State
representatives who will vote for the
bill. Local option candidates for the
Legislature therefore will work i'm con-
junction in the several districts with
Hrumbaugh candidates for delegate TO

FORTUNATE CITY IS BOISE
Natural Supply of Hot Water Used to
Furnish Heat for Houses and
Public Buildings.

Boise, the capital of Idaho, is the
only city in the world to use natural
hot water to supply. heat to houses,
public buildings and business blocks,
the Youths Companion observes. Wa
ter at temperature Sof III degrees
Fahrenheit comes from wells in the
low foothills of the Boise mountains
just outside of the city, and for %
years it has all been used for heating
purposes.
There are two wells, each 18 inches
in diameter and 400 feet deep. The
natural flow is 100000 gallons a day.
Centrifugal pumps have increased the
supply to 1,250,0O0. gallons every day.
The water is pumped into, tank or
reservoir, thence distributed to the
users in the city. One hundred and
thirty-nine buildings use it for all pur-
poses, including heat, and 100 other
buildings use it for bathing, washing
and cooking purposes.
Engineers have tried to increase the
flow of water, and they think that if
they could tap the main subterranean
stream they would get enough hot wa
ter to supply all the needs of the city,
The heat is so intense that men can
work only 18 feet below the surface.
and then only in ten-minute shifts.
These hot springs were well known
by the Indians and they made the spot
where Boise now stands a sort of win
ter resort for the Snake and Bannock
| tribes.

WILL TRAVEL IN AIRsR.Ps
New Corporation Proposes to Establish
Service Between Berlin and
Constantinople.

Uncle Sans vice consul at Carlsbad,
Austria, Robert S. Townsend, has re.
ported the formation of an interna-
tional airship corporation in Berlin
which, as result Of the great develop
ment Of aerial travel during the war,
proposes to establish an aerial post
service between Berlin and CONSTANT
nople. If this proves a success it is
proposed to establish passenger line.
Its plan is to have the route extend
from Berlin to Carlsbad, continuing
to Vienna via Budweis, from there to
Budapest, and thence on to CONSTANT.
nople over Sofia. Between these larger
cities are to be numerous landing sta.
tions, the cities chosen for landings to
subscribe for shares. In this way the
corporation hopes to obtain the neces-
sary capital to finance the project. A
representative of the corporation has
already visited Carlsbad and has
talked with the city council as to the
probability of obtaining an old race
course as landing station, and as to
the chance of the city raising the nee.
essary amount of money as. its share
of the capital. The scheme also in
cludes the building of modern hotel
at the landing station there.
1t is believed that with the advanced
experience with heavier-than-air ma
chimes during the present war there
is no reason why such an enterprise
should not be practicable, as well as
possible, should the necessary capita
be obtained for it's foundation.

Cripple Who Made Good.

An interesting case that came before
the federal employment agency of the
United States was that of a cripple
who applied at the New York Office for
a position as barnman on dairy
farm. The governments labor agent
sent him to a dairy farmer who had
applied for help. When the cripple ar
rived at the dairy farm, the farmer,
greatly incensed at the mans intirmity,
refused to let him go to work, and
Immediately communicated to the
agent his indignation at being supplied
with "a poor. excuse for man." The
agent insisted that the farmer give the
cripple chance to show his ability.
Also, he made the proposition that
instead of the. $25 month named as
wages in the former agreement, the
cripple should be allowed to work at
the rate of a dollar cow per month,
he to milk all the cows he could
handle. The farmer took the agent up
on this offer, with the result that the
cripple has been getting $50 a month
for his work-World's Work.

CHAPTER VII.
A History.

n F1iSLOFy.
Whitaker consulted telephone book
without finding that Drummond had
any private residence connection, and
then tried at random one of the clubs
Of which they had been members in
common in the days when Hugh Whit
aker was a human entity in the knOwl-
edge of the town. Here he had better
luck-luck, that is, in as far as 1t put
an end to his wanderings for the
night; he found a clerk who remem-
bered his face without remembering
his name, and who, consequently, was
not unwilling to talk. Drummond, 1t
seemed, had lived at the club; he had
dined alone, that evening, in his room ;
had ordered his motor car from the ad-
jacent garage for seven o'clock; and
had left at about that hour with a
small handbag and no companion.
Nothing further was known of his
actions save the police report. The car
had been found stationary on Wash
ington bridge, and deserted, Drum
mond's motor coat and cap on the
drivers seat. Bystanders averred that
a man had been seen to leave the car
and precipitate himself from the bridge
to the stream below. The body was
still uncovered. The club had noti-
fed by telegraph a brother in San
Francisco, the only member Of Drum
mond's family of whom it had any rec
ord. Friends, fellow members of the
club, were looking after things-doing
all that could and properly ought to be
done under the circumstances.
Whitaker walked back to his hotel
There was no other place to go; nc
place, that is, that wooed his humor in
that hour. He was, indeed, profoundly
shocked. He held himself measurablJ
responsible for DrummOnds act of des
peration. Next to poor Peter Stark
whom his heart mourned without ceas
ing, he had cared most for DrummonC
of all the men he had known and liked
in the old life. Now -. he fel

and forlorn. There was, of course

CLOCK TO BE DEPENDED ON
Cleveland Claims the Record of HaV-
ing the Most Accurate of Worlds
Timekeepers.

In the Case School of Applied Sci
ence in Cleveland there is a clock that
holds the worlds record for accurate
months it showed a variation of only
.eight-thousandths of a second a day,
which, in years time, would be less
than three seconds.
Ship chronometerS, which are the
most accurate time measuring instru-
ments in general use, cannot keep true
time within less than three to five sec
onds a month. Marine observations
are absolutely dependent on accurate
timepieces, but ships officers have to
be satisfied if they can adjust their
chronometers so that they will either
gain or lose a certain amount each
day. Then they add or substract and
get absolutely correct time.
This Case clock, says the Youths
Companion, stands on a stone pier, in
dependent of the building, that ex-
tends sixteen feet to a natural shale
foundation. 1t is in a small room sur
rounded by two other rooms, all built
with brick walls. Gas stoves heat the
outer rooms, and electric contact ther-
mometers regulate the temperature.
The gas stove fame automatically
rises or falls With the variation in the
outside air temperature. Thus on warm
days in August the flame in the gas
stove is very low, while in below-zero
January it burns at it's brightest. In

is adjusted by an ordinary sixteen-can-
die power incandescent lamp that is
flashed on and off by another electric
contact thermometer. The school
strictly enforces the rule that there
must never be more than two persons
in this inner room at one time.
The clock, which stands five feet
high, has three separate dials that reg
lister the hours, minutes and seconds.
1t is inclosed in an alright glass jar,
inside of which are delicate instru-
ments for measuring temperature, at

Whitaker was fond of Lynch, but not
with the affection that a generous-spir-
tied youth had accorded Peter Stark
and Drummond-a blind and unreason-
ing affection that asked no questions
and made nothing of faults. The ca
pacity for such sentiment was dead In
him, as dead as Peter Stark, as dead
as Drummond.
II was nearly midnight, but the hour
found Whitaker In no humor for\bed or
the emptiness of his room. He strolled
into the lounge, sat down at a detached
table In a corner, and ordered some
thing to drink. A page, bearing some

Spanking has not gone out of style as

fire department, but matches are a
strictly forbidden article, and there
was lecture on safety first thrown in
