JYorCelfai Power of Radium

iIIopeweil Darlington, in I.eslie's)
Sir Oliver Lodge has stated that the
energy CT a gram Of radium, if capa-
bic Of being utilized, would lift the
whole British Navy as high as the
summit Of Mont Blanc. Unfortu-
nately-cr perhaps fortunately-we
are Is yet unable to control this ire
raendous energy; We can only observe
it. The tinic3t particle Of radium-
no bigger than a pin-point-will give
cii heat and energy for years. The
activity Of radium is due to the fact
that it constantly gives off tiny par
ticles or streams Of energy These
are known as alpha, beta and gamma
rays, ana were first detected or dis
tinguisbed by their varying sensitive
ness TO magnetic fields of attraction.
Some Of the latest applications Of
radium products are the following.
The motorist can apply it to his gas
cline guagc; for the motoT-cyclist

Gark'-an American product of rad
jun emanations-which will enable
the Invalid TO find it in the dark. A
dab on the top Of the glass will also
servo to locate it. In the same way,
special radium luminous markings
have been devised for poison bottles
to cut down the frightful toll which
accidental poisonings take every year
Illuminated graduating glasses will
insure the proper dose being mixed

employed on Giiplane instruments,

Let's Cut it Out

The automobile "cut-out" has be-
come a real nuisance in Monterey ana
the clamor for relief is so general
that it is believed the town council
will pass an ordinance prohibiting
its use.
Just how it happens that some sec
lions get and cling to this muffier
habit is a mystery, for auto experts
and drivers generally agree that it is
of no real use in ordinary driving, a
truth that is still more forcibly en-
phasized by the fact that many OF the
new models have left them out Of the
mechanism. Hence the justice OF the
demand that the town be relieved OF
the needless annoyance. Visitors
look with surprise and make wry
faces over the din and dust.
For hours at time, in the neigh
borhood CT the garages, it is lmpossl-
BILE to carry on an ordinary converse
ton. Tho normal hum of an engine
is not disturbing at any hour, but
with the cut-out sleepers are awak-
ened at all hours of the night, and as
to the early morning nap, it's out of
the question, even in the case of lit
t. children,
i is :.i.sy gen to te damaging to
the streets. Tie freight trucks and
larger passenger cars do more harm
by the bias. from their lungs than
is done by tho rubber tires.
4 recent E:5itur, in commenting On
the nuisance. said that in his town
similar IN Sc to Monterey and fur
Their south-t&cy broke it up by SIM
ply serving l warning at the first Of
tense, imposing a fine for the second q
increasing fines fer subsequent Vio-
1Gtions until SIS vas reached. They
don't do it any more down there, and
we should GUT il, not only On account
of the Annoyance but because it is
"tacky' and "countryfied." Let's
cut it out.

DISAPPOINTED TOURISTS
INUNDATED COMMUNITY
Editor Recorder:

Editor Recorder:
A letter in the Staunton paper last
week, referring to the hotel situation
as becoming ACUTE" puts it very
mildly it seems to me. Here at Mon
terey it amounts to a public calamity
and locally sickening humiliation.
Tourists, more than ever before, with
their fat enthusiastically burning
their pockets--giving our town the
everlasting go-by simply because no
provision is made for their entertain
menti Our embarrassment is no
greater than their surprise and dis
appointment to find, at this central
and widely known point, on the ia
nous old highway, no accommoda-
lions or place of entertainment, much
less some one to welcome and cater
to their wants!
Never was there such a crying need
for Civic League or Board of Trade.
Such an rganization-prog progressive
and wide-awake- have pre-
vented. and could now remedy, exist
ing conditions. 1t would be the prov
ince and duty of such body to can
vass the situation; if possible to in
duce the present owners Of our splen-
did hotel property to either open 1t
up, rent or sell, and, failing IN the
effort, take steps at once to organize
a joint stock company and build an
other house-a move now being con-
sidered and discussed by individual
icitizens. If such step be necessary
to relieve the embarrassment, /, as
one Of the business men of the town
stand ready to do my part.
Every interest and enterprise of
the section are suffering loss and rep
Iutation as a result of this embarrass-
ing and inexplicable hold-up. 1t is
reflection on the civic pride and en-
ltcrprise of the town and county, and
every loyal, public-spirited citizen
should join in finding speedy rem
;edy. BUSINESS MAN

This HaIf.DoiIar Rare.

Ever since the news that silver
half-dollar Of 1853 brought $500 was
published throughout the country q
few years ago, there has been great
er misconception as to thie coin than
any other.ever struck by the United
States mints. This arises from the
fact that there are two, kinds of half
dollars Of 1853. The rare variety has
no arrows at the dates and there is no
sunburst on its reverse. y
Only two specimens Of this coin are
known to bel in existence. Half dol
lars Of 1853 with arrows at date and
sunbursts on the reverses are very nu-
merous. however, and they have fire.
quently dashed the hopes Of holders
who were unfamiliar with the dis
tinction between the two varieties Of

Not injure the Rabbit.

the top board of the box. The straight
part of the trigger is ~ inches long,
and the loop 8 inches in diameter. Be
sure that the trigger is hung so as to
slide freely through the staples.
In operation the trap is simple. It
is set by pushing the door inward and
upward against the top board of the
box, and pulling the trigger forward
until the door will rest on the hook.
Any green bait, such as lettuce, or a
carrot, may be used, being placed in
the closed end of. the trap, but it is
not absolutely necessary, the curiosity
of the rabbit, and the likeness of the
trap to log being sufficient to at
tract him. AS the animal enters the
trap he pushes the loop Of the trigger
back until it releases the door, which
falls behind him., leaving him pris-

BARREL FOUNTAIN IS HANDY
Also Insure Constant Supply Of
, Water for Fowls.

The diagram shown is Of a home
made poultry fountain. The cistern is
q common barrel that is watertight,
connected to a drinking tank by a
piece Of pipe with one elbow as shown,
says a writer in The Farmer. A big
washer or something else of that shape
Is fastened on the end Of the pipe at
;''C'' in order to make sort Of rim on
the inside Of the pipe. "A'' is piece
of board used for a float and connected
to plunger, 3d." by means of wire.
This makes ,self-locking valve SO that
the water will flow in until the tank
gets full when the float pulls the
plunger up against the rim on the in
side of the pipe and shuts off the water
which flows in again as the water is
consumed. It is well to- have the part
OF the tank where the valve is boxed
of by itself with lid over to keep
