Is Delicate One.

New ~York.--L.arge telescope disks
are being made In the United States.
All mechanical difficulties have been
overcome, according to an announce
ment made by DIR. George w. Morey,
a member of the American Chemical
: society.
This remarkable achievement Is due
TO preparation and handling Of the in
gradients required for pure and flaw

ments begun at the outbreak of the
world war, under the auspices Of the
geophyslcal laboratory of the Carne-

Catching Up With Germany.
Before 1914 practically all the OPP
tical glass In the United States was
imported from Germany. When the
United States entered the war the
field glasses, range finders, telescopes
and other instruments OF precision
used by her army and navy were
equipped with lenses fashioned be-
yOnd the Rhine. Private citizens ever
loaned or contributed opera glasses
and binoculars to the fighting forces.
Optical glass Of fine quality, howev-
err, Is nov to be had on this side OF
the water. The climax of this achieve
ment of industrial chemistry has been
reached by American makers in the
manufacture of lenses for telescopes.
At first disks which strengthened our
view were made three or four inches
In diameter. Recently n special four
and three-quarter inch lens was

SOME PROVISIONS IN MY
PLATFORM

The basis of my platform is the
Brotherhood of Humanity without dis
tinction of race, creed, sex, caste or
color, and my first aim is to preserve,
protect and ennoble human life.
Americanization Of the foreign-born
the universal education of the young,
and instructing all in the principles Of
our Government is the best possible
guarantee of the safety of our insti-
tutions and the perpetuation of our
Republic.
I favor World Democracy, Self
Determination for every nation on the
face of the earth, and our nation as
suming her share of the responsibility
along with her sister nations for the
prosperity and happiness of the world.
Relative to changes in the Volstead
Act. That question can be most eff

A. ROSS READ
AMERICA BROTHERHOOD HUN

hHOOD HUMANITY
A Congressman who has to resort
to Misrepresentation of his Democrat
ic opponent to cover up his own de-
fects, and has to base his final and
paramount plea for reelection on the
fact of having once been elected, pre-
sents no meritorious deeds done for
his country and no plans for its future
has nothing to recommend him for
that position.
Even Claude Kitchin, in his effort
to praise him, could not point out a
single worthy act performed. To make
the case still stronger against him, the
only bill he ever introduced was the
Anti-Sedition Bill that was so sound
ly condemned that it never came to a
vote. a
He thus stands arraigned as an ig-
nomfnious failure as statesman,
both by omission and commission.
Why should this important Con-

of patriotism and honor by retaining
him as its representative.

Davey Not a Statesman

Our government was founded by
our forefathers to promote the gen.
eral welfare of humanity. They were
earnest men, who, with unwavering
determination and profound convic-
tons of justice\ and human rights,
pledged their lives, their fortunes and
their sacred honor to carry out that
high resolve. They thus set the
standard for American craftsmanship.
Any official representative who-has not
sufficient sincerity to, at least approx
mate their virtues lacks the elements
of craftsmanship and is unworthy Of
the position. A trifling, flippant
egotist cannot be a statesman and
should not be elected as representa-
tive.

The Legislation Needed

The need Of the hour is c0nstruc-

encourage loyalty to Government, build
up industries, make for justice and
equity, educate, stimulate activity, in
worthy enterprises and elevate public
sentiment.
Our country should not neglect to
duly honor and reward our young men
who helped fight the battle for human
ity in the World War. Our gratitude
should be shown by remunerating
them in some satisfactory manner for
their sacrifices and patriotic service.

AN IDAHO COMPANY

The other well to which Mr.. Bell
made visit is the project of the Ca
sis Oil Company, with headquarters
at Burley, an Idaho enterprise back
ed entirely by Idaho people
This company has acquired an ex-
tensive tract of leases in the upper
Raft river basin, Sc miles south of
Burnley, covering a vast accumulation
of Payette Lake bed sediments, in
Guiding some tilted outcrops of very
likely looking coarse brown sand
stone beds, said to give a pronounced
reaction for oil on chemical test.
Heretofore this enterprise has
been seriously retarded through mi
tial engineering errors, Mr.. Bell
found, and through the acquisition
of pickup, secondhand plant,
which proved inadequate for its pur-
pose and had to be scrapped. This
has been replaced with very com
plete new standard rig, now fully in
stalled and ready to go, at a cost OF
$50, 900. 1t is a replica of the Goose

WATER Is TROUBLESOME

This well is equipped with very
complete standard drilling rig, capa-
Bile of going to any feasible depth
1t is now down 1865 feet, and has
three lines of casing with SIS at
the bottom. Drilling was begun ia
January, and has been seriously
hampered by the necessity of fighting
and endeavoring to case off an ex-
cessive flow of artesian water.
The water was first encountered
at a depth of $50 feet, and it in
creased at 1920 feet Much of the
flow has been cased off, but the we'll
is still discharging a measured flow
of 80 miners inches Of water with a
temperature of 100 degrees. 1t is
believed that its unobstructed flow
would equal 200 inches.
This indicates the existence of an
artesian basin and source of primary
water that may prove when more
fully developed, of equal volume
with the present surface flow, and a
discovery of vital economic impor-
lance to the Oakley storage reservoir
project, whether oil in commercial
quantity is found or not.

SAMPLE is SATURATED

However, Mr.. Bell declares that
the oil feature of the enterprise
seems most encouraging. Mr. Car
penter has kept an accurate log OF
his we'll, with sand pump samples of
each 10-foot section of the forma-
lions penetrated. One of these sam
pies shows rich saturation of crude
oil that might make a productive oil
if the water were successfully cased
off above it.
The hot water is being conducted
through Vshaped scaled measuring
weir in the sludge ditch, and when
this V discharge is checked by a
board to a smaller outlet, it rapidly
accumulates a thick froth of waxy
brown bubbles that feel like parafln
wax, with graduation back through
prismatic shades of yellow and blue
oil-like scale on the pool.
