LOST TORPEDO IS
NOT EXPLOSIVE
Reward is Offered for Fish" Lost from
Naval Air Station.

The Naval Air Station has reported
the loss of a torpedo on Augut 26
1920, for which a reward of $50 is be-
ing offered. The torpedo was lost af-
ter being launched from a plane or
the torpedo range in the vicinity of
Edmunds0n's dock on Santa Rosa
Island between buoy and end of dock
within a radius of 1000 yards. 1t is
possible it may have drifted in or out,
along this line with the tide if it did
not become stuck in the sand.
1t is possible that the torpedo has
scooped enough water through exhaust
valves to give it a negative buOyancy,
thereby causing it to remain submerged
but movable with the tide.
The torpedo, which was of the ID
type, bearing No. 11645 contained no
explosive. Anyone finding same is re-
quested not to interfere in any man.

notify the station as soon as possible

JAPAN BECOMES
MORE DEMOCRATIC
Emperor and People Are Getting Bet
ter Acquainted With Each Other.
(sy Associated eress.l


Toxic, SeptsS15.-A tendency of the
times in Japan is the effort made to-
ward bringing the imperial house and
the people of the country closer on a
basis of greater mutual sympathy.
Until some years ago all public traf-
fic used to be suspended for about an
hour before the passage of a member
of the imperial family, but now it is
only for the moment that any suspen-
sion of traffic is made.
A system has been introduced to
admit of an individual appeal direct to
the throne on social, as well as per-
sonal affairs.
Viscount Kiyooka, of Kioto, has re-
quested that imperial detached pal
ace in Kioto be thrown open to the
general public, giving the following
reasons:
1.-The recent war seems to have in
stilled in the minds of some Japanese
ideas that are incompatible with the
traditions of the Yamato people. If
course the sure result will be that the
people will drift apart from the throne
until an enlargement sets in that will
spell ruin to the country at large. One
of the most effective ways for the
Japanese to prevent such a calamity
is to foster new links of sympathy be-
tween the throne and the people and
to bring them closer together. The
throwing open of the detached palace
in Kioto to all, instead of a privileged
few, will aid greatly in realizing this
object"

MANY GARAGES BUT
FEW HOUSES BUILT

Pittsburgh, Sept. 15.-Three garages
to one dwelling is the proportion in
which buildings are being erected in
Pittsburgh, according to figures COM
piled by the bureau of building in.
spectiOn covering the three important
months of the building season-May,
June and July.
High wages, permitting the pur-
chase of automobiles by workers is
given as the cause of. the enormous
increase in garage construction, while
the high cost of building is assigned
as the reason why more people are not
building their homes.
Recent wage scales signed by con-
tractors and the building trades give
carpenters $1.20 an hour, bricklayers
a substantial advance and hodcarriers
81 an hour. while laborers on building
construction are to get so cents an
hour.
In spite of the demand for houses,
not a residence building permit has
been issued in seven of the 81 wards
OF the city for weeks.

Would Impeach
 High Official

Washington, April 23.-Plans for introducing a resolution in the house today looking to the impeachment Labor Department, for his attitude toward deportation of radicals, went suddenly away when the house met today and the resolution prepared by Representative Hoch, (Republi- can, Kan.) was withheld at the re quest of floor leader, Mondell
 Speaker Gillette had arranged to recognize Representative Hoch for the introduction of the resolution and called on him twice for the pur- pose. Hoch, however, withheld his resolution and MT. Mondell announc- ed that the Republican leaders want ed to study it further. Hoch said he would introduce it later.
 A fight on Post has been smould- ering in Congress for some time. Members have criticised his concel- lations of deportation warrants which have been issued after the department of justice has recom- mended the deportation of radicals and field agents of the department of labor have made similar recom- mendations.
 Before the house convened, Hocf conferred with some members o1 the house immigration committee who were understood to have prom. ised to support his measure. When the house met a number of Repub. lican leaders gathered about Hocf | l-I -l~ scrutinize his measure.
 Finally when Hoch arose to pre- sent it, Mir. Mondell said:
 '''I would not do that now" Hoch sat down. Later he helc informal conferences with other members on the floor and in the cloak rooms. Meantime the house proceeded with other business.

Stone in c Cemetery
 Is BOOtIegger's Bar

Hinton, w. Va, April 15.--Ap- parently having fine sense of the fitness of things, Gordon Kirby se~ lected the cemetery as the place for dealing in spirits.
 The bibulous of the district, if they feared ghosts, overcame their timidity, for it became evident weeks ago to prohibition agents that big quantities of moonshine whiskey were distributed from somewhere in the neighborhood. But where.
 Suspicion attached to Kirby, and the officers trailed him to the lonesome graveyard on bleak hill.
 They lay in wait for him and caught him the act of selling liquor. All transactions were car ried out under cover of the night. . Kirby quietly conveyed each nights stock to the cemetery and then sold it to all corners, using 2 fallen tombstone as a counter and making change over it. Kirby was arrested, fined $200 by magistrate Agabright and sentenced to sixty days in jail.

MORE THAN MONEY

The respect of ones fellowmen is more to be desired than wealth. It is something that all men desire, but not all men secure. Generally men fail to win respect because they do not make it their first ambition. They put something else above it.
 Respect is not flattery, because flattery has a motive behind it, and, besides, is superficial. Nor is it popularitay, for popularity is frothy and unsubstantial. Respect is the sincere regard that arises out of personal worth. It may be long in coming, but it wears well. It is in reality life's achievement.
 You can't expect any one to re spect you unless you respect your self. That does not mean sounding your own praises, but just the con- sciousness that you have of being square with yourself, of having brought yourself out right.
 Respect is something in which no man has vested right. It has to be earned.It can attach to organi- zations as we'll as individuals. It can be gained or forfeited, but it is not negotiable. And yet it is the greatest asset of a business man or corporation What makes it the greatest prize of life is that once it is gained all other things are added unto it.

ONE BOY OF THE RIGHT SORT

Coming over to work the other morning at about 2 o'clock, l notic- ed nice-lookifig, red-cheeked boy of about Is working with the street crews in Auburn. He was handling an 8-pound pick and digging away the ice on the shady side of the street in the cool of the March morning. He wore a high school sweater and little round skating cap. Any one could see that he was a regular boy, we'll read and full of determination.
 Said I to myself: Here's regu- lar old-fashioned boy who is not ashamed of honest work"
 A little later I found out by acci- dent who the boy is-fine family, well-to-do, scholar in the schools, who came home one day and said Dad I've got job for vacation. Cook has taken me onto the streets. Pm not going to loaf my vacation away uselessly. Every dollar 1 get helps me on toward college"
 His father told me that he, too, was not ashamed of the boy or his job-ashamed! God forbid! Inas- much as the father is a regular American six-footer, who has plowed his own way, he was as proud as a pea hen with flock of bullets. He couldn't help grinning all over his face about the boy. I, too, was proud of him.. A boy among a mil lion, do believe The father and I chuckled awhile over the boy but dad wouldn't say much to the boy about it to the boy, and he is do- ing nothing that is worth making a fuss over. He is just being a manly of honest toil.-A. G. Staples in the Lewiston Journal.

Nine Men Anxious for

Goddard of Clark Col lege, Worcester, Mass, inventor of the multiplt- barrelled, 60-plus horse power augmented and magnified rocket, which is expected to reach the moon and possibly other planets.
 Prof Goddard says propulsion of his rocket will be by means of q series of rapid explosions througout the journey, which will counteract the force of gravitation that would draw the rocket back to earth.
 A rocket weighing 1900 pounds started at sea level at speed of 2,000 feet per second and increasing it's speed fifty feet per second as the hundreds of charges explode, would weigh one pound when ss reached the moon-
