FIRST SERVICE
MAN FROM HERE
IS HOME AGAIN
Godfrey Bernat Dis.
charged After Five
Years in Country's
Service.

Godfrey Bernat is back from five
years and three months service in
the World war. He was the first
man to enlist from Blackfoot, going
in on the 18th of July, 1915, at Salt
Lake City, and was discharged on
September 23rd at Fort Slocum.
Mr.. Bernat served in the engin-
GERS corps in California, was in the
Sandwich Islands, the Philippines,
japan and China. Then in Belgium,
France and Germany. His hardest
service in the fighting lines was at
Cambria, but much of the time, when
the heavy fighting was going on, he
was back of the lines with the en-
gineers corps.
He quit the service with the rank
of corporal and is glad to be home
again with his brothers.

INVENTS TWIN PISTON TO
INCREASE POWER OF ENGINE

ATLANTA, Ga.-Charles A. Sni-
der, ofsAtlanta, has invented an i'm
proved twin-piston cylinder for steam
locomotives which he expects to be
of a revolutionary character in fu-
ture locomotive construction.
Mr.. Snider has an exhibit Of his
improvement with the patent office
in Washington, and letters of patent
are expected soon.
A locomotive carrying four. Of
these improved twin cylinders, each
controlled by one balanced double
piston valve should prove the most
speedy and powerful in the world for
freight service, according to Mr.. Sni-
der. Geater power on less fuel was
the inventors design. The invention
will produce 20 to Is per cent more
speed on locomotives than they are
now capable of developing on, the
same amount of fuel.
A double piston in each cylinder
controlled by single valve, instead
of the present system of one piston
to cylinder, is the gist of Mr.. Sni-
der's invention. He believes doubling
the number of pistons to cylinder
will increase the power one-fourth
Heretofore it has been found i'm
practicable to use more than one pis-
ton to a cylinder.

VlOLIN-VOICE VIE
WITH INSTRUMENT
Interesting Entertain
ment Demonstrates
Recreation of Music

On Thursday evening the Hayes
Gift Shop entertained packed house
Tat the high school auditorium using
the Edison musical instrument in
connection with vocalist and violin
music. The Edison sang and rend-
cred violin and piano selections, The
selections on the records were from
the voice Of Miss Marion Evelyn Cox
and as the instrument gave them to
the audience Miss Cox was present to
sing with the instrument and to vary
the program by singing part Of the
time and not singing part OF the
time, leaving the audience to dis
tinguish il they could, between Miss
Cox's living voice and Miss Cox's
voice as it came from the record. 1t
was practically impossible to tell
when she was singing and when she
was not except by watching her lips.
During the rendition Of one selec-
ton that matter was tested still fur
Their by shutting off the lights for a
part of the time and the audience
was expected to make up their minds
as it went along, when she was sing
ing with the instrument and when
she was not. When the lights were
turned ON Miss Cox was not on the
stage at all. To all those who
thought she was singing part OF the
time that was good convincer that
they could not tell the difference at
all.
Similar tests were made with Miss
Doris Proudfit the violinist. She
played with the violin as the Edison
rendered the violin selection. She
played and rested and pretended to
play when she was not playing and it
was very, very difficult to tell when
she was operating on the strings and
when she was not, the rendition thru
the Edison was so absolutely perfect.
Selections from the piano were also
rendered by the Edison. The re-
creations were all perfect renditions
of the original.
The instrument used was not one
brought especially for the purpose,
but simply one taken from the stock
at the Hayes Gift Shop and the
records were taken in the same way.
They are all on sale in the Hayes
Gift Shop and persons securing these
and records have the alb
perfect reditions of the great
singers in their homes.

E DOLLAR NEEDED
By ROGER W. BABsoN

If we take 1914 as a standard for comparison. the dollar We spend
today for food, clothing, and shelter, is worth 50 cents. That is, one
dollar today will buy only as much Of these commodities as 80 cents
would buy in 1914.
The cost Of living for the average wage Garner has increased 81
per cent during the last six years. II this were divided into various
budget items, increases would appear as follows: Food, 90 per cent;
shelter, 80 per cent; clothing, 1875 per cent; heat and light, AZ per
cent; sundries, rs per cent.
This looks pretty black until we consider the dollar Of the bust.
ness man. 81
Since January, 1914, wholesale costs have increased much faster
than retail prices. The business man goes into the market today with
his 1920 dollar and can buy only what 40 cents would buy in 1914.
Against an advance of 81 per cent in price to the consumer, the
retailer has had to stand an advance of 100 per cent in wholesale
cost. His margin of profit is smaller than ever.
There should be a new dollar, based on gold, but on a varying
quantity. No gold coins would he mintrd. hut yellow backs would he
issued by the treasury. The amount of gold behind each gold dol
lar of paper money would be adjusted frequently in accordance
with an index of the cost of living. so that the dollar would always
purchase the same quantity of these fundamentals.
The new dollar, if adopted, would always buy the same amount
of bread, of wool, of steel, of coal. Luxuries and individual commodi.
ties would huctuate to n certain extent, hut the cost of the necessities
of life would be practically constant.

WHERE DOES HE STANDp

w ITHouT Mr.. Bryans somewhat tragic statement about his
wv heart being Sin the grave with our cause. Governor Cox
would have been popularity regarded as n "wet" candidate
because of the stand against prohibition that has been attributed to
him in his public career in Ohio in recent years. The democratic
platform accepts national prohibition as issue upon which the nation
has passed a final decree, but the nomination of a candidate popularity
regarded as against prohibition and in favor Of the entering wedge
of Eight wines and beer puts candidate and party in the position
Of an attempted straddle. unless the candidate himself goes on rec
ord mequivocany one way or the other. II will require more than
Governor COx's statement in the letter to Judge Pollock of Kansas
City, quoted in Tuesdays Herald, that he is for law enforcement, to
complete the record as the voters will require it to be completed, It
is a matter of course that the democratic candidate is for law en-
forcement. No man without the fullest respect for law and law EN-
forcement could have achieved the position Cox has won in Ohio.
What is wanted and what will he required will he definite infona-
tin from the democratic andidate as to whether or not he favors
enactment Of law which will let down the bars on prohibition enforce
ment and whether as president he would stand actively mr. passively
for modification of national prohibition as the liquor interests want
modification. No doubt such a statement will be one of the first
10 come from the democratic candidate. because without it prohibit
tin will become an issue in this campaign since it will he made an
issue by tn, liquor interests themselves in a way which the majority
of American citizens who brought about national prohibition will
find it necessary to meet.
One thing is certain There is no chance for a straddle by the
democratic party on the prohibition amendment; nor is there a chance
for a submerged" issue. Mr.. Bryans heart may he in the grave
with his cause, hut his voice is not.

KEEP MOVING.

DURING the first six months of 1920 building permits ere issued
j in Albuquerque having a total value of $i07 900. or four times
the total for the first six months of 1918. An increase over 1919
was to have been expected. The increase would have been greater
had labor conditions been more settled. II is worthy of note that
there has been a slump in building permits during the past 10 days,
although within that period prospects for growth here have become
certainties and these certain prospects Justify a very large increase
in building operations, rather than a slump.
1t will be very unfortunate for Albuquerque if conditions in the
building trades are permitted to remain disturbed. Our need for
building is considerably greater than ever before. This is the dullest
period of the year in real estate here. when demand for houses is AT
The lowest ebb. There are still some houses for sale. There are few
il any desirable homes for rent. We have just ahead Of MS the autumn
season with every prospect Of a new record in number of winter res
idents. We have very little to offer them in the way of houses or
apartments.
More important still is that now certain increase in population
that will come with the Santa Fe railroads shop enlargement pro
gram. now under way. II has been indicated from reliable sources
that this shop enlargement program will mean an increase of 1000
shop employees here. At a minimum this will mean an increase Of
5000 in the population. Here. then is a definite housing problem. We
cannot hone to solve it if there is a continued condition of uncertainty
in the building trades.
There is always a reasonable settlement of every difference; a
middle ground on which men who want to get together al effect an
agreement. II is lime to reach that kind of an understanding here.
Failure to reach it means loss for everyone. Common sense and the
common interest demands an end to the uncertainty and unrest in
the local building field. With the kindlicst feeling for all concerned
it is forecasted that those who persist in strife when we need peace
will eventually arouse and consolidate a public sentiment that will
exhibit something more definite than impatient conversation.
