SHOULD GET ANOTHER BEAU
Little Probability That Hoosier Girl Will Ever Eradicate StIngy Streak
 From Present One.

The stingest young man has been discovered and he is a Hoosier too living in Terre Haute, says the In. dianapolis News. He has long been termed a chair-warmer by the family of the girl whom he honors with his company, for he has never taken her to show-even a moving picture one. As for candy and flowers. we'll he has not sent or brought any of either.
 As he seemed to be really nice the girl decided that perhaps he was green that he needed a little hint. So the other night she decided to give him one. After he had occupied about an hour of her time and also of her fa- ther's heat and electric light, she said: "Oh, Pm so hungry for candy. Will you go to the drug store with me so that I can get some7
 He rose to show his willingness, and the girl was delighted, believing that her plan was going to work. But when the drug store was reached and the candy was bought, he displayed no in- tention of paying the bill. So, of course, she had to do 1t herself.
 Furious at him and the whole world, too, she carried the box home and put 1t, still in its wrappings, on the piano in the living room. And all the rest of the evening she tortured him by talking of the joy she would have on the morrow when she ate the candy.

BEARDS AS BILL COLLECTORS
Author Gives Possible Reason Why Most Publishers Prefer the Clean
 ShaVen Face.

Herbert Jenkins, the London pub fisher who occasionally losses off a book himself, tells the story of how on one occasion when he was dining with an author and editor, the author suddenly called his attention to man sitting alone in a far corner of the restaurant.
 'That man," remarked the author, "has character. He has a publisher from whom he can never extract money. What do you think he didr'
 Mr. Jenkins shook dubious head.
 "He went to the publishers office and demanded payment. There was nothing doing. Without ceremony he seized the publisher by the beard and announced his intention of hanging on until he got a check. He got his money.
 'That," continued the author re- morselessly, as he fixed speculative eye upon MT. Jenkins clean-shaven chin, "is why very few publishers wear beards."
 Suns immensity.
 The sun, which is by no means a large star, as stars go, could easily contain within its boundaries the en- tire earth and moon and the distance between them, says the Scientific American. In fact, three systems like that consisting of earth and moon could be strung out in row through the center of the sun, without coming within 5O,OOO miles of his surface on either side.

SERVICES ON THE
j. S. SUBMARINES

The fact that the Germans used the
submarines unlawfully during the war
has caused so much prejudice against
The submarine service that the opera
ton of our submarines is adversely CT
fected by public opinion. As a matter
of tradition, it has always been the
policy of the United States TO keep a
strong submarine force to maintain its
right to use the submarine in time OF
war. This in spite of the fact that at
the Hague conference an attempt was
made to establish the use of the sub
marine.
AS the situation now stands the duty
aboard the United States submarines
offers many special advantages over
service on other Navy craft The loss
Of life in United States submarine
service has been practically restricted
to the ill-fated FL" which sunk OF
Hawaii several years ago. In the case
Of the I'D" the construction was poos
and the danger in making dives had
already been recognized before the
accident occurred. The submarines
now in operation are sea-worthy and
the living quarters are commodious.

qualifying as submarine man tusn-

IS AURORA BOREALIS
PHENOMENON OF SUN?


The earth was passing through the
cutter confines Of the corona or exterior
envelope Of the sun on the night Of
March p when the inhabitants Of the
northern portion Of The United States
witnessed the great aurora IN the
skies. says Prof Monroe p. Snyder, di-
rector of the Philadelphia observatory
The astronomer declared in a state
ment to the Associated Press that the
UNIVERSAL force Of radioaction" on the
sun hurled the final atoms OF an ex-
pIosion- namely. electrified hydrogen
and probably heiium, straight 70
earth"
Professor snyder's observations fol
low:
"The present aurora is fine indica-
ton OF the explosive atomic disintegra-
ton which takes place at the surface
Of the sun and is responsible for It's
prominences. spots anf corona. Our
discovery OF the magnitude and pre-
else atomic order of the explosion OF
the chemical clements in the sun and
+ in the stars. generally leads to concep-
items OF the aurora and the accom-
ranging magnetic and electric storms,
which are beyond any doubt as 10
their validity.
THE earth was. in a very true
sense. and to the delight OF us all,
passing through the outer confines o.
/ the solar corona. The same universal
force of radioaetion which disinte-
crates the atoms in stupendous local
+ lied Krakatoas. or Mont Peiees, on the
sun. and produces the hydrogen OF the
coronal steamers, then also hurled the
Gnal atoms Of the explosion-namely,
electrified hydrogen. and probably he
lium. straight 10 the earth.
":0nly within about q month ct the
equinox, vernal. or auSumnal, is the
earth in an orbital position 10 be thus
successfully bombardea. The moving
electric hydrogen is. of course, an elee-
trio carrent and is therefore carried
toward the poles of the earth and
round them by the earth's magnetic
forces. The fascinating colors Ct the
aurora are due 70 the changing cleo
tric excitation Of the hydrogen and
other gases. The theory Of Negard
the Swedish physicist, which has eX
nlained the wonderful curtained au
roras as due TO hydrogen particles. Of
nositive electric charge, is now shown
10 ne Enthusiastically true, in that j
6 but a logical result of the explosive
eruntion OF the electric hydrogen from
1.-THE sun.
"The woll-known delay. or lag IN
time. between the solar eruption and
the appearance af the magnetic storm
and accompanying aurora on the
earth. of about as hours. is due 70 the
time taken for the hydrogen atoms to
travel from the sun TO the earth. The
rate of travel Is about 575 miles per
second. or somewhat in excess OF the
rate of the upward movement of the
cases in some OF the great solar promi.

Service Commission for definite
and formal action. If the rules
already submitted by the Com
panv are found not to be suscep-
tible OF amendment 50 as to make
them acceptable to the commit
tee OF citizens. then it would
seem to be in order for an al
tentative set. to be drawn up by
the latter and then, with the two
respective positions definitely
outlined. submit the whole mat
ter on that basis.
Everybody. Of course. wants
better gas. and it is the special
business OF the Public Service
Commission to see that public
service corporations do their full
part in keeping up to the pre-
scribed standards. In the words
of the statute they shall 'inves-
tigatc and ascertain from time to
time the quality Of gas supplied
BY persons and corporations. as
certain the methods employed BY
such persons and corporations in
manufacturing, selling. deliver
ing or supplying gas and electri-
city for light. heat or power, and
in transmitting the same. and
have power to order such i'm
provements as will best promote
public interests, preserve the
public health and
protect those using such gas on
electricity E" The Com
mission IS also expressly given
power by order to fix from time
to time such reasonable stand
ards as it may deem proper for
the measurement Of the purity
of gas and OF the illuminating
power OF gas. and the heating
power Of gas for light. heating
or power purposes and
by order TO require said natural
or other gas to equal the stand
ard so fixed by it, and to pre-.
scribe from time to time the rea-
.onable minimum and maximum
pressure AT which said natural or
>ther gas shall be delivered by
said persons or gas corpora
tons"
Therefore. in order to prevent
my lost motion toward obtain
ing the right quality and service
j gas for Annapolis and vicin-
ty, the efforts of all concerned
'hould be directed to the one end
of definitely laying out a course
OF action and amending or form
ulating proposed rules for sub
mission to the Public Service
Commission. so. that that body
may issue its orders in the full
light OF representations and tes-
timony on behalf OF the consul
mers. as well as Of the Gas Com
pany.
