TunefuI Sheep Bells.

Some wonderful sheep bells used to
be made by blacksmith at Pyecombe.
a little village on the top Of the Sus
sex down looking over Brighton from
the London road To give a special
tone to these bells the blacksmith beat
quantity Of brass into the metal Of
which they were made. not smelling
the two together, but simply beating
them, so that the brass lies in big
fakes in the iron. and this gives a
clear. rather metallic tone to the bell.
A set of sheep bells numbered about
twenty-one and ranged in tone from
the big tenor bell. measuring five to
six inches across, to quite small. high.
ly pitched treble ones.-Country Life.
Testing Rubber.
The elasticity and hardness Of rub
Der can be determined by an apparatus
akin to the schleroscope. which shows
the hardness of steel by the rebound
Of pointed steel hammer. A sharp
point is forced into the rubber. and
the force exerted and the depth of pen
etration are automatically recorded on
graduated circles, combination OF
these indications giving the degree of
hardness. The elasticity is shown by
the heights of rebound Of steel ball
when dropped upon the rubber from Il
measured height. The apparatus is
simple and easily and rapidly tests the
relative value of different specimens of

WASHINGTON STATE FOR WILSON

According to Secretary Ryan, the
Democratic State Committee is feeling
decidedly hopeful of carrying the
state of Washington for Wilson in No
vember, and the reasons assigned are
not so visionary as might be suppos-
ed. The most prominent leaders Of
the Progressive party in the state re-
fuse utterly to recognize the attempted
transfer of their support to Hughes
by Roosevelt, Perkins & Co., and the
chances are that fully one-half of the
rank and file of that party will vote
for Wilson.
The vote of the state, in round fig
ures. gave Roosevelt 10000, Wilson
$1,000 and Taft 10000 in 1912. If So
600 of the Roosevelt votes swing to
Wilson it will put the state in the
Democratic column. Such Progressive
leaders as Edgar G. Snyder, state
chairman in 1912, and Ole Hanson,
Progressive candidate for United
States senator in 1914, have Issued ap-
peals to the Progressives of the state
asking them to stand by Wilson rath-
err than confirm the crooked deal they
got at Chicago.
In the current issue of The Wash
ington Voter, appears the following
from Chairman Snyder:
II am supporting President Wilson
and feel that all Progressives should
support him because of the very fact
that we are progressives and have
definitely espoused certain principles.
It was upon these principles that the
majority of the members of the Pro-
gressive party found it necessary to
leave the Republican party.
Four years ago Mr.. Roosevelt said
that the bosses and the special inter-
ests had brought to shameful end
party that had been organized fifty
years before by men in whose hearts
burned the fire of lofty endeavor If
he was right then and if the Progress
sives were right in leaving the Repub-
lican party then. they can not be ex-
pected to go back now without clear
showing that that old party so shame
fully demoralized has profited by the
Christening and has been purified and
has had rekindled within it that fire
of lofty endeavor."
For Progressives to go back without
that showing would be self stultifica.
ton. 1t would be an admission that
they had never been sincere in their
progressive professions.
What are the facts?
The control of the invisible govern
ment over the machine Of the Repub,
lican party has never been relaxed
but has been strengthened and con-
firmed. Wherever the Republican par.
ty has been dominant during the last
four years it's record of public acts
has been one of retrogressiOn and not
of progress. No better example of this
need be sought than the showing OF
our own Republican majority in the
last legislature of this state. The fla
GRAVITY reactionary legislation then
passed would be throttling our liber'
ty as individual voters and our home
rule powers as self respecting and
governing communities, If we had not
fortunately possessed the power OF
compelling these vicious measures to
be submitted to a vote of the people.
On the other hand President Wilson
has given us progressive leadership
and has done much during the last
three years to make effective the es-

He has kept us from being drawn in

Woodrow Wilson is today more nearly
| the true exponent of progressive prin-
ciples, social and industrial justice, for
which the Progressives stood in 1912
and still stand, than any man Of equal
national prominence.
The Progressive voters are first of
all Independent voters. That is why
they left the old party and that is
why no man and no newspaper organ
and no machine can now deliver their
vote. They think for themselves and
they will deliver their own vote. That
is why I feel confident that the bulk
of the Progressive vote will in reality
be cast for Woodrow Wilson,
| Ole Hanson Upholds President
| Ole Hanson, one of the most promi-
nent among the Progressive leaders in
the State of Washington, and the Pro-
gressive candidate for the United
States senate in 1914, is another one
of the many Progressive leaders who
has refused to permit himself to be
stampeded back into the ranks of the
G. o. P.
There appears to be a concerted
effort on the part of certain politicians
and newspapers to stampede the Pre-
gressives of this state into the Re
publican party" says Ole Hanson. "The
old battle cry of the Grand Old Part.
has been raised from every office
seekers lips; those who desire peace
at any price are using the phone and
writing letters in order to disrupt this
Progressive organization of this state.
That is probably good politics for the
man who thinks more of securing
office than he does of his progressive
principles.
Personally, I desire to say that
can see no necessity of deserving our
cause at this time. Woodrow Wilson,
our worthy president. is confronting
problems today as serious almost as
confronted Lincoln at the beginning of
the Civil war.
Back in Washington, he is fighting
the battles of the people of this ma
ton; night and day he is thinking
and planning for your and for me.
"It is not time for partisan poll
tics or attacks on our president.
GAS American citizens, as Progress
sives, it is our duty at this time to ST.
lence the harsh criticisms and un-
thinking partisan prejudice and stand
by our president.
ut is a long time before November.
We will have plenty of time to come
to mature, righteous decision as to
what is best to do before then. Don't
let us be stampeded.
IF it is necessary to get aboard
some other vessel later, the Progress
sives and not the office seekers in
their ranks will choose the ship and
become part Of the crew, not cabin
passengers, with their fare paid by
some other partisanship organization"

PROBED INTO THE
RECENT ACCIDENT
TO THE FIRE TRUCK
COMMISSIONERS, AT SPECIAL
LY-CONVENED SESSION YES
TERDAY, SOUGHT TO PLACE
BLAME FOR THE DAMAGE.

One night last week, while the fire
department was responding to an
alarm from the northwest part of the
city, Driver G. e. Butler, who was on
the fine motor fire truck, drove the
big vehicle into the curbing, near the
intersection of A and Belmont streets,
and as a result the truck was placed
in the shop for a few days. 1t was
out and in commission yesterday,
however, but the city has not yet re-
ceived the bill Of the repair man, and
it was stated yesterday that addi-
tional work will have to be done.
The commissioners, after looking
into the question deemed It best that
the case be Investigated, and Driver
Butler was suspended from duty.
One point which the testimony of
several firemen brought out was the
fact that the truck was without all
lights showing. 1t was stated that
the driver usually switches these
lights on, while it was further de-
veloped that it was duty yet as
signed to no one man.
The commissioners, following the
regular weekly meeting of last even
ing, convened and swore a number of
witnesses. The mayor presided, and
members of the trucks crew gave
evidence under oath. Some of them
acknowledged that the lights were
not showing, to the best of their
recollection, and the driver himself
said they were not showing.
The matter of turning on the lights
hereafter will be delegated to some
particular man, and Chief Bicker, who
was personally attending the investi-
cation, last night took up this ques-
tion with the trucks crew.
At the intersection of A and Bel
mont streets, where the accident oc-
Cured, there is a sharp turn in Bel
mont street, and the street crossing
does not show up brightly on a dark
night. The testimony showed that
the light on the particular night was
burning indistinctly, but where the
fault lay was in the fact that the
lights on the truck were not showing
as they should have been.

ment had been broken off.
The engaged girl is placed in pc
culiar position. No matter how well
she may love her cfiance she must not
show an overfondness for him If she
would not provoke ridicule. It is not
necessary for her to send him home
with girls who persist in forcing their
attentions upon her on the evenings
when he calls.
More important than all the rest
for the engaged girl is not to let the
engagement run too long. When it
has lapsed into a three or four year
courtship, other girls take it for
granted they are not intended for each
other. Mischievously they attempt to
cut her out with her beau Engage
ment time is the happiest of a girls
