Richmond that has never been attempted be-
fore. The people could always buy 100
acre farm or lfty-acre one, by paying a lot
of cash. But all the people are not farmers
and could not buy them nor did not have any
use for them. But every man who works
in the city has dreamed OF his little aero
garden farm near tho city and his work
where he could go and come quickly. Well
Mr.. Man, we have it. so come quick and get
your choice NOW at tho opening prices.
We have just one hundred Of these small
farms. We bought large farm and are cut
ting it up into these smaller farms, and are
running the streets through so as every aero
will face on street especially for those peo
pie owning their own autos We bought this
property at a fair prico and are selling these
small farms cheaper per acre than they are
asking for large farms per acre a great deal
farther out.

PICKING A JUDICIARY CANDIDATE.

According to reports from Des
Moines the state central committee
has decided to make the nomination
for the supreme judge vacancy on
the republican ticket. In this connec-
ton 1t is stated that several jurists
whose names were not before the
convention are active candidates for
the place.
It would appear that from the large
field Of candidates before the conven
ton. most OF them of excellent repute
a worthy jurist could be found by the
state central committee without go
ing outside the list. To those who
followed the vote OF the convention
the name Of Judge Arthur very ma
turally suggests itself. The consider
alton his name received by the con-
vention was next to that given the
nominees Of the convention.
The central committee dominates
only In emergency. In this case it's
office is repair work simply. A death
In the membership of the supreme
bench occurring since the convention
creates the necessity OF supplying a
name on the ticket. This is supple
mentary work to that Of the con-
vention. 1t should then conform so
far as possible under circumstances
to the preferences expressed by the
convention. For there Is no question
that the convention Of delegates ele-
cted and selected as they were, is
more directly representative than
the group of party leaders who con-
stitdte q state central committee.
There is no occasion to go outside
the candidates who found indorse-
ment by the convention. Without
doubt the committee has that power
and can exercise it if it will; but it
would probably leave better taste
in the public mouth If it shall begin
choosing its candidate where the con-
vention left off.

TIMESREPUBICAN MARSHAILTOWN low "A, AUGUST a. 1920

The young man went wrong because
his sense of morals and Of honesty.
There is no other reason. If he used
$4,000 or $4,000 of the firms money
and concealed it by shrewd book
keeping he stole it and knew he was
stealing it. His knowledge how to
conceal his populations for the time
was simply the tool to his dishon-
esty. The ability and skill to drive
an automobile fast In the dark is not
an incentive to yegg a bank. 1t is
the yegg's skill applied to a yegg's
purpose.
That idea that efficiency should
lead to crookedness is a mighty poor
one for a firm to hold or express. In
the first place it isn't true. In the
second place it is not a complete
conception of morals and honesty in
business; it does not consider that
where one fine accountant and CASH
Ter goes wrong tens of thousands live
In strict honesty.
Efficiency is never an incentive to
crime. The incentive lies back and
behind that. If the ability to COM
NIT crime were an incentive to theft
and murder there would he little h,,t
crime in the world. 1t is a wrong
conclusion from a twisted viewpoint.

AN UTTERLY WRONG CONCLUSION.

The head accountant and cashier
OF a Des Moines firm packed his
grip, kissed his wife and disappeared
Z few weeks ago. 1t now appears by
expert investigation of the books
that he was short in his accounts
several thousand dollars.
One Of the principals Of the firm
is quoted as saying that he was an
excellent accountant and that his
efficiency as an accountant is to
blame for his DOWNFALL"
That is peculiar conclusion. It
suggests that efficiency in any line
is provocative of crime.
It fails to differentiate between
the ability to conceal crookedness
and the conscience and character
which keeps men from theft and
crime. As well assume that ability
as q marksman is an incentive to

the ONLY WAY TO PUBLIC SAFETY

The frequency of grade crossing
accidents should hasten action by
legislatures and boards of supervis
ors toward elimination Of such cross
ings wherever possible.
The death of one active and public
spirited citizen costs the county and
state more than an over or under
crossing where either is possible,
Often slight changes in the lire Of
the highway may avoid grade
crossing. We should become i'm
mediately and constantly busy on
those important matters.
Where grade crossings exist they
need constant attention to see that
weeds are cut which obstruct the
view Of the motorist and that en-
bankments and trees are cut down
which conceal trains nearing cross
ings.
If accidents occur at crossings
where the view is fairly clear the
danger multiplies at crossings where
approaching trains are wholly or
partially hidden by banks, weeds or
trees.
We shall never be able to inculcate
complete caution. Men are human.
they have their lapses Of caution. 1t
is not sufficient to assume that mot
orists must take care Of themselves.
1t is public duty to see that all
crossings are made as safe as it is
humanity possible to make them.
Meantime life and death, accident
and freedom from accident, are in
the hands and eyes Of the motorist
Any slackening Of caution in ap-
preaching grade crossing may
mean disaster and calamity. There
is no complete safety except in
But with the immense increase Of
motor driven vehicles which make
railroad speed and occupy every
forty rods of principal highway every
hour Of daylight and Of night until
there is but one way to real
public safety. Eliminate the grade
wherever possible. We must
not count cost against life.

with those in England?
Answers to Yesterdays Questions.
l. Can the song Of the bobolink
be initiated?
The bobolink has an unusually full
throat, which may help account for
his great power for song. No bird
has yet been found that could initiate
him, or even repeat or suggest single
note. IS II his song were the product
of a new set of organs. There is a
vibration about 1t, and a rapid run
ming over the keys, that is the despair
of other songsters. 1t is said that
the hooking bird is dumb in the
presence of the bobolink.
2. How can a fisherman improvise
scales?
What does he weigh?" was the
natural inquiry when a large trout
was caught by one of our fishing
party. SO we imprOvised a scale;
long strip of board was balanced
across a stick, and our groceries
served as weights. A four-pound
package of sugar kicked the beam
quickly; a pound of coffee was add
ed: still it went up: then pound of
tea. and still the fish had little the
best Of 1t.
3. If a porcupine's tail is touched,
what happens?
Touch the tail of a porcupine ever
so lightly. and it springs up like
trap and your hand Is stuck with
quilts. I do not suppose there is any
more thinking about the act. or any
more conscious exercise OF will pow

action is quick.

nearing its objective in foggy or OBJ
securing conditions of the atmosphere,
the pilot has to contend with Grave
hazards.
Until recently the aeronautical
world considered the helicopter little
more likely of practical development
than a perpetual motion mechanism
but this skepticism has been dissi-
pated by the performances of a full
size demonstrating machine devised
and built by DR.. Peter Cooper Hew-
Ut and Professor Francis Bacon
Crocker as potential instrument of
coast defense during our participa-
tlon in the world war. These scien
lists solved their problem by adapt
ing aerofoils-airplane wings-to the
dual functions of lifting and pro-
pelling.
The helicopter constructed and
given exhaustive ground tests at
Ampere, N. j., was provided with
TWO two-bladed propellers, each mea
surfing fifty-one feet from tip to tip
and turned in opposite directions by
two concentric vertical shafts-the
opposing revolutions serving to Off
set each other and to stabilize the
machine. The blades were set we'll
out on tubular arms Of steel, and so
secured to these arms that the CEN
ter OF pressure was to the rear OF
the line of support. This gave to
the blades a measure OF adaptability
and flexibility in meeting the air
currents. and obviated "chattering,"
which would certainly have resulted
had the blades been differently at
tached
Instead Of revolving, as airplane
propellers generally do, at speeds OF
1000 to 1000 r. p. m, the helicopter's
propellers were rotated at only 70:
but because the blades covered a
wide area and brought into play an
exceptionally large volume Of sus-
tanning air, the two screws were able
to exert an effective lift of $500
pounds or 20.2 pounds per horsepow-
er. This lift was $50 pounds in ex-
cess of the dead weight of the ma
chine as installed for it's ground test
ing. The plan is now to prepare the
apparatus for flight and human guild
ance; and to this end it will be pro.
vided with four airplane engines and
suitable fuselage.-Popular Me-
chanics.
