Thermometer Deterioration.

Even thermometers become old, and
consequently inaccurate with age, mer-
curial instruments reading too high
and spirit instruments too low. In the
former case the bulb appears to shrink,
thus forcing the quicksilver too far up
the stem. This gradual shrinkage is
supposed to be due to the fact that the
external pressure on the bulb may be
considerably higher than the internal
pressure, the air as far as possible hav-
ing been removed before the glass is
sealed. On the other hand, the spir-
It thermometer is sealed with the bulb
covered In a freezing mixture, in order
to lock up in the glass as much air as
possible. The instrument thus starts
with the internal pressure which In
time appears to be reduced either by
expansion of the glass under the In
ternal pressure or by leakage.-Scien-
tifc American.

l have never known a young man to

his Job. The job is the chance, the OPP
portunity, to show what you are made

sale you may be sure you have what
every employer is always looking for.
If you are alert, enthusiastic. original,

ity, you may be sure that you win
soon find a place at the front with
commensurate salary.
On the other hand, the man who
drags through just enough work to get
by, who gets TO his job when he has
TO and watches the clock for time to
go home will not see his salary envel-
ope fatten very rapidly.

W GROWTH OF DOLLAR
How Benjamin Frsnklin's Request OF
$1,000 to Boston Has Increased
In a Century.

How the dollar invested works for
the individual himself has been best
illustrated by that first great Ameri-
can teacher Of thrift, Benjamin Frank
lin. remarks Worlds Work. In 11gl
he ~bequeathed $1,000 to the common
wealth of Massachusetts and to the
city of Boston as a mark of his appre-
citation for having appointed him as
agent 4 England at the Handsome
salary of $4,000. And to make his be-
quest really valuable. with his great
foresight Franklin provided in, his Will
that this f1,O00 should be put out at D
per cent interest for 100 years; that at
the end of that time 31-131 of the fund
accumulated should again be put out
at interest for another hundred years
and then the fund be divided one
fourth to Boston and three-fourths to
the state.
Let us see how well that 1900 OF
F%ranklin's has worked. At the end of
the first hundred years II had grown TO
S431,3S3.62. 1t was then divided In ac-
cordance with the will; S329,3OO.4S
was set aside for public work. and
S102, 0S5.15 was started on Its course
of earning interest for another hun
dred years. That was in 1891. On
Jan. 1, 1918, this sum had grown to
$267, S05.15 and at this rate Of In
crease the fund should amount to at
least $4,000. 900 when the second pc

 AMBASSADOR MARTENS

Washington, Jan. 19.-The senate investigation of bolsheviki propagan- da in the United States came to a sudden halt today after Ludwig C.. A. K. Martens. self-styled Russian Soviet ambassador. read a preliminary statement reviewing his life history. The sub committee adjourned so the memgers might attend other import ant committee meetings and Chair man Moses said the inquiry would not be resumed until Monday to permit Wade H. Ellis, former attorney gen. eral of Ohio, who was engaged to- day by the subcommittee as counsel to reach Washington.

No eff fort was made by department of jus tice to serve on Martens the warrant issued some time ago for his arrest on charges of radical activity and it was understood that service would be withheld until the committee had fin ishd with him.
 Former Senator Hardwick told the committee his client was wholly in nocent of any activity or agitation tending to overthrow the American government and had conducted him. self with the strictest of propriety un- der the rules of international law" He added that Martens would freely answer all questions the committee might desire to ask.
 After it hears the Soviet agent, the committee plans to call his secretary and also his so-ealled chief of staff, Gregory Weinstein, who is at liberty on bond awaiting hearing on deporta- tion proceedings. Chairman Moses said after Monday it was planned to pro- ceed rapidly with the investigation.
 In selecting MT. Ellis as counsel the committee disposed of a controversy which was aroeused over the proposal to employ Archibald Stevenson, at tofney for the New York legislative committee Investigating radical aetiv- ity, Senator Borah, republican, Idaho a member of the committee. opposed employment of Stevenson saying he did ''r.1t want to transfer the Lusk fNew York legislative) investigation to the senate" and that he would quit i the committee if Stevenson were ap- pointed Protest against selection o1 Stevenson also was laid before the | committee by E P. Jennings, Lehigh- ton, Penn, machinery manufacturer.

MINE OWNERS RESPOND
 TO DEMANDS OF MINERS

Washington Jan. 19.-Mine owners were given opportunity today by the coal strike settlement commission to respond to the demands presented by miners spokesmen last week for the recognition of certain wage differen- tials. The miners demands, which are additional to the requests for a general wage increase and the thirty hour week were met by Tracy l.. Guthrie, for westen Pennsylvania, Ohio, with the assertion that they merely amounted to methods of rais- ing wages by indirect methods.
 Thomas T. Brewster for the I1li- nois operators, C. A. Maurer for Ohio and Phil H. Henna for Indiana. agreed with MT. Guthrie's assertion. Brewster asked the establishment of certain differentials in southern Illinois, which were abolished after a strike some years ago.
 Ed Stewart, president of the Indiana Miners union. replying to Penna' s remarks incidentally brought in the charge that certain Indiana mines were accustomed to sell as coal inn purities and slate mined along with the burnable product. President Rob- inson of the commission agreed to al- low defense of the charge to be made by the companies mentioned be- fore closing the record.
 Hearings will be continued tomor- row for further presentation of the controversy.

Geneva, Jan .19-A state of pro- found anxiety and astonishment reigns in PanGerTnan circles in Germany over the offfical demand of the allies for the eXtradition from Holland of the former German emperor, according to a despatch from Basic. which is confirmed by Munich advices.

They argue that if their former chief is extradited no- body will be safe, because the govefn- ment's hand will be forced.

FURTHER DESCRIPTIONS
 OF oUTRAeEs BY MExIcANs

San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 19.-After describing one outrage after another which he said he had witnessed, Dr.. John Hunter, an American physician of Nogales, told the senate sub-com- mittee Investigating the Mexican sit uation today he never had known of q Mexican being punished for killing an American in Mexico since 1910.
 Dr. Hunter was one of the Ameri- cans at Guadalajara when the Amer jeans occupied Vera Cruz. His ac- count of the flight of the Americans was accepted as additional evidence of the higher regard held by Mexicans for the British and German foreign representatives.
 J. D. Ward, now a Texas farmer, gave the committee the first instance in it's record of an American scoring on the Mexicans Ward shot one of them and got back into the United States without being captured. He was liv- ing on a fruit farm with his wife in 1915, he testified. One night he was visited by soldiers led by one subse- quently identified as a non -eommis- stoned officer in the CarranZa army. After he had shot down three of them
 the attacking party withdrew and the remainder of the night was spent by
 MT. and Mrs Ward in hiding under
 the barn.
 It developed the next day. he said, that the Mexicans on their way to his house had raided that of an American 1 negro, brutally attacking the mans
 wife. also a negro.
 A big Cherokee Indian, Odia Jacks, who was a member of the Blalock
 colony, told the committee he had been held for nineteen days and ord cred shot by Colonel Lopez de Lara,
 who insisted he was a Yaqui Indian and spy of Villa. Jacks is from Pine
 Bluff, Ark
 When the train on which MT Hunter
 and other American refugees was on its way from Guadalajara to Manzan-
 illo the occupants were subjected al- most constantly, he declared, to the
 jeers of the Mexicans at stations through which the train passed. The Mexicans were convinced by the manufactured news that was being printed in the paper that already their country and the United States were at war. that already "a Mexican
 army of 150,G00 was trampling the soil of the United States"
 Gonzales de Ia Mata, the Mexican l consul here, announced he has re-
 ceived the instructions from the Mex ican foreign office relative to the
 manner in which his government will
 regard any Mexican who 5testifies be-
 fore the committee. To all callers al the consulate he had explained Mex leo will regard them as traitors il they appear as witnesses
