THE CANDIDATES.

That both political parties saw the
necessity for being on their good be-
havior this year is evidenced by the
kind of men, they have nominated.
The Philadelphia Public Ledger pays
tribute to both tickets as follows:
'A1I questions of policy apart. the
personnel of the two presidential
tickets formulated at Chicago and San
Francisco is one in which the Ameri-
can people can take just pride. The
four men chosen by the two great po-
litical parties as their protagonists in
the great national referendum this fall
risen to positions of responsibility and
power by their own exertions and who
have won the respect and confidence
of their fellow citizens"
Here follows a bit of political his
tory interesting at this particular
time:
The combination Of Ohio and New
York in the composition of presiden-
tial tickets has taken place with IN
eanny frequency in the last half CEN
fury of American political history.
Six times since 1875 have the two
states thus figured in the nominations.
and four times out of the six the com
bination won at the polls. The two
which failed were those of 1888, when
the eland-Thurman ticket re-
versed the usual order which gave
Ohio the first place on the ticket and
New York second. and OF 1912, when
the Taft and Butler cause went down
to defeat thru the detection of the
Roosevelt Republicans. The four
winners, with this geographical asso-
ciation OF forces, have been invariably
Republican; and whether this shall be
taken as forecast for defeat for the
Democrats who have for a second time
adopted the Ohio-New York program
win depend upon many things yet TO
be developed. The Republicans will
not be frightened by any such omens,
however, especially as their own sue
cesses have with but a single exception
been won with a ticket SO made up.

Tropical summer Here.

The important point for US to note
in this connection is that in the
greater part of the United States for
the greater part of the summer we have
just about as tropical climate as any
equatorial country. Both the actinic
ray and intense heat are present.
And yet It is our general practice to
work in that heat just as hard as we
work in the winter. Most of us take
a little vacation, of course, and a
few fortunate ones escape to the
mountains or seashore for all or the
greater part of this hot spell. But
most of US work and swelter on, los
ing weight, losing our tempers, oeca-
sionally even losing our lives.

Just consider for a moment the
spectacle of a typical American city
during a heat wave-New York for
example. All activities go on Just as
usual; the streets are scarcely less
crowded than at any other time. Ev-
cry days paper reports a few deaths
and many prostrations. And the cases
reported in the papers are about a
fraction OF the whole. How many
aged and weak persons die during
these spells, not directly of sunstroke,
but indirectly of the effect of the heat.
will never be known. And the deaths
and prostrations are a small part of
the loss. ESuicide and crime run high
during these spells Men are literally
driven mad by the heat. And here
again the striking ciimaxes are only
as a drop in a bucket to the suffering
which reaches no dramatic conclusion
and does not get into the papers. Men
and women wear out their tempers

SPANISH
Because Of the growing commercial and social
intercourse between America and countries speak

up for men and women with knowledge of this

entirely and business opportunities in those coun-
tries have never been numerous they are to-
day. A knowledge of Spanish coupled with ability
and perseverance opens the door to many of these
opportunities Our in Spanish is in charge

RADIO COMPASS

RADIO COMPASS
Wireless is now being used for locating
of the position of ships at sea, stations
located on land all along the coast being
used as a medium. Over 100 such stations
are already established on the Atlantic
Coast.
Within very short time all vessels will
be so guided. This new and practical APP
plication of wireless has developed the
need for men skilled in the practical use
of the radio compass.
