Shows Strong Endorsement.

III Vie" OF WyomlnR'B tremen-
dous slump to Wilson, Congress-
man Mondell's reelection, by a
vote leading the head of the tick
ct by more than 5000, in reality
constitutes the strongest endorse
ment Mr.. Mondell has ever re-
ceived at the hands of the Wyom-
ing electorate.
The splendid vote returning the
Wyoming representative to con-
gress, for two years, in the face of
the landslide to Wilson, is a mark
ed testimonial of the confidence
Wyoming people have in him, and
In spite of the Leaders efforts to
belittle Mondell through the COM
p%aratively small majority he re-
ceived, the fact stands out that
his collection proves that a very
large majority approves his course
as their representative and gave
him a vote of confidence SO large
that it withstood the Temperament
tai, %hysterical and temporary wave
of Wilson sentiment.
1t must be remembered that the
tremendous Mondell vote was cast
without anyone having made spec
ial effort for Mondell. His friends
devoted their campaign energies
toward helping those who needed
it more. In his campaign over
the state Mondell paid no atten-
ton to his own candidacy. He
abored for the success of the head
of the ticket, and for the re-elec-
ton Of Senator Clark, and in his
speeches scarcely referred to his
own candidacy or to the criticisms
made against him. Naturally, the
vigorous manner in which Mon
dell assailed the administration
and Kendrick naturally slienated
many votes a less vigorous policy
would have saved to him, or indi-
vidual work would have retained.
The whole truth is that Jack
Clark simply fell heir to a land
slide, and his big vote was not the
result of a comparison of the
worth of the two candidates. Had
this been the issue the result
would have been far different. As
it is, in view of the situation as it
WAS presented to the voters of
Wyoming, Mondell's reelection
in the face of the Wilson land
slide constitutes the most remark
able endorsement of his worth
and his work for the state ever
given any man by the electorate
of Wyoming. He has a right to
feel proud of it.

Rangers Carry Small Telephone.

A portable telephone, made Of
aluminium md weighing two and
a half pounds, the invention of 6
forest officer, was part of the
equipment of patrolmen on sew.
eral Of the national forests the
past season. This instrument is
regarded rs a great improvement
owe the set formerly used, which
weighed ten pounds.
1t is said that a field man equip.
ped with this telephone, a few
yards of emergency wire, and a
short piece of heavy wire to make
the ground connection, a cut in
anywhere along the forest service
telephone lines and get in touch
with the headquarters of a super
visor or district ranger. To talk,
one end of the emergency wire is
thrown over the telephone line,
the two ends are connected with
the portable instrument, and the
instrument is connected to the
ground wire, the end of which
must be thrust into the damp
earth or in water. Contact with
the line wire is made possible by
removal of the insulation from a
few inches of the emergency wire.
The Adams instrument does not
ring the bell of the receiving tele-
phone, but instead causes a scree-
ching sound from a small mega
phone-shaped apparatus descrip-
lively known as a "howler." This
instrument is installed at the ran
ger station telephone and is said
TO give effective notice that some
one is on the wire. If the field
man needs to talk with some one
elsewhere on the line, the ranger
station instrument can be used to
ring up the person wanted, when
the conversation can be carried
on.
Forest officers say that these
portable phones are especially val
liable in reporting fires and other
emergencies with the least posi-
bic delay, and also in sending in
structions to field men and keep
ing the district rangers informed
as to the progress of work going
on in the field, thus supplement
ing the regular telephone sets in
stalled at lookout points, ranger
stations, and at convenient inter
walls along forest service roads and
trails.

CHECKED BY
OLD |ND|AN REMEDY
Doctor Insists Victim Is No
Longer Menace to W0rkmen.

Ann Arbor, Mich.-1gnorant that he
was suffering from leprosy in an ad-
vanced astage-the physician who had
sent him had not diagnosed the dis
ease-a man came to Dr. lido Vile of
the medical faculty Of the University
of Michigan last July. He was a pitt
able object. His body was covered
with leprous LESSONS. ...
DR.. Vile took the sufferer into the
university general hospital and has
treated him with chaul-moogra oil, q
remedy for leprosy that has been used
for generations in India, unsuccessful
ly in the great majority Of cases.
Now his disease, which oftenest con-
dennis man to life confinement in a
colony Of his fellow sufferers, is ar
rested. The patient is making a splen-
did recovery, DR.. Vile says. He is
strong and walks two miles each day.
No more men shame him by calling
him "unclean."
He is no more dangerous to any COM
munity now than a tuberculosis pa
tient, DR.. Vile insists. The doctor
adds:
"Work is given to tuberculosis pa
tient who is able to work. No one
questions his duty and right to support
himself and his family. Work should
be given to this man, once the most
despised and feared of humans-a
leper."
The mans name is withheld that,
unknown, he may begin life anew and
earn bread for his wife and their baby.
His entry into the hospital was affect
ing, dramatic.
1t so happened that a medical con-
vention was being held here, and the
different clinics were open to the visit
ing physicians. DR.. Vile had not seen
the patient until he was wheeled into
the clinic. The doctors face went
white. Visitors leaned forward and
peered upon the mans nude body. Their
faces were tense, for they knew-they
thought him doomed. .t..,
The examination soon over, the pa
tient was wheeled out, and DR.. Vile
said, with emotion: y
'That man has a we'll advanced case
Of leprosy. l must tell him, and it
will seem to him like reading his death
warrant When his disease becomes
known it is doubtful if we can keep
him here. Even if the ileprosy cannot
be arrested the man has ten years yet

living were it not that he will be
bounded from place to place; every
mans hand will be against him."
us he cured-will he ever be abso-
lutely cured?" Dr. Vile was asked.
"A cure is always relative answer
ed the doctor. Eat present all the
symptoms that characterize leprosy
have disappeared in this case He is
strong, confident, hopeful. If you ask
me whether the leprous symptoms will
reappear can no more tell you than
can assure man healthy today that
he will be in health as good ten or if
