weighing a Perfume.

II was the Italian physicist Salvioni
who devised a m~icrobalance of such ex-
IRENE delicacy that il clearly demon
strated the loss of weight of musk by
volatilization. Thus the invisible per-
fume floating of in the air is indirectly
weighed. The essential part of the APP
paratus is a very thin thread of glass
fixed at one end and extended horizon
tally. The microscopic objects TO be
weighed are placed upon the glass
thread near its free end and the amount
of tlexure produced Is observed with a
microscope mngnifying 100 diameters.
A mote weighing oie-thousandth of n
a milligram perceptibily bends the

1t is precious gift and like all things precious, very

But imagine, if you have talent that hidden

If you have talent that is unrecognzed all you need

But remember that talent very fragile. 1t be

No talent is ever developed without hard work. The

Mr.. DAUCHERTY SPEAKS.

d BGlNNlNG his work as spokesman for the
- Harding Administration we'll ahead Of time,
the efficient Mr.. Daugherty warns the job-seekers
in Washington that policies must come first AMI
appointments afterward
What the country wants and what the
country expects is some relief and some sub
stanual steps toward correcting things as the
people indicated by the result Of the last cleo
ton"
After Republican leaders nave repeated this Sor
of statement certain number of times, maybe they
will convince even themselves that it means some
thing
What the people indicated by the result of the
last election was their willingness TO give the Repub-
lican Party chance with policies it profeSsed to
have ready for the country's relief.
Since the election the people have waited in vain
for sign that the Republican Party had or has any
policies at all.
With Republican majoritieS in both Houses, there
was no reason why this last session of the Sixty
sixth Congress should not have laid substantial
foundations for and even made fair start on the
constructive programme of the coming Adnnistra-
tion-provided it had any such programme
Toward two recognized and imperative national
needs-tax revision and the establishment of 4
budget system-PreSident Wilson stood strongly
committed.
Yet with the whole Nation waiting for relief leg.
iSlaton, the best use the Republican leaders in Con-
greSS could make of this session was to muddle
away the time on miserable fake tariff bill alb
solutely certain to receive the Presidents veto.
1t has begun TO dawn on The country that the
great programme with which the Republican Party
pledged itself to bring first aid existed only in the
oratory of the campaign.
Beyond a confused notion of working the tariff
for all it can profit the party, the is no Repub
can programme.
Now the country has found it out, even MI
Daugherty whose best work is done in quiet rooms,
sitting secluded with other gentlemen round tables
deems it wise to come out on the balcony and assure
the public that Mr. Harding is presently going to
find some policies for his Administration even if he
has to keep the office-seekers waiting for a time
while he does it.
This assurance from Mr.. Daugherty himself will,
of course, be sufficient to satisfy voters that they
are getting all they wanted or expected last
November.

THE WISER WAY.

IT HE minority demand that the Daylight Saving
1 Act be repealed passed triumphantly in the
House, but in the Senate is encounering stiffer op-
position than was anticipated.
From flat demand for repeal, Senatorial opinion
seems to have shifted toward support of the DUEL
bill, which continues the present statute but permits
local ordinances in communities where standard
time is preferred.
If we are to have variegated and assorted chro-
nometry, this is wiser and more economical than
the local option idea as applied to the clock II is
hardly possible that opponents Of Daylight Saving
would be 50 foolish as to make serious effort for
repeal in the larger centres Of population. In the
less populous communities ordinance-making is COM
paratively simple and inexpensive.
The Duell bill seems to be the best and most ex-
pedent way out for Republican politicians who
pledged themselves to tinker with the time If there
must be further tnkering the Duell bill would
benefit a clear majority Of the people Of the State

IT GOES without saying that any programme of
tax revision which would do away with the
Excess Profits Law, transportation taxes and soda
water tax will meet with a measure of favor.
These are three proposals made by Representative
IongwOrh of Ohio He has introduced bill! to
that effect not with any expectation of getting ac-
ton in This session. but TO allow opportunity for
discussion during the Congressional recess.
These three items, together with a reduction OF
super-taxes on incomes, are, expected to result in
the loss of nearly billion dollars in Federal receipts
Mr.. Longworth disregards both the sales tax ana
the tax on undistribued profits and proposes 10
make up the deficit by corporation tax and by
iNreaSed tariff receipts
Mr. LongWorth estimates that "a tariff based on
the protective principle" will produce an increased
revenue of s35ooooooo.
If Mr. LongWorth seriously believes that the next
Congress will pass such law, The country ought
to know what such a tariff means.
Mere figures in Government receipts and ex
pendhues have ceased 10 mean much since the war

haye an image Of this wonderful booN
Of Joel-gloomy grandeur. desolatlon,

Of Gods mercy and love.
Blow ye the trumpet in Zion! The
Locusts are comingl CRead Joel, H.,
S-10.) Alas for the day! The meat
Is cut off before our eyes; the seeds
rot in the ground; the garners are
desolate; the corn is withered; the
beasts groan; the cattle are per-
picked; the flocks Of sheep are deso-
late; the fire devours the pastures OF
the wilderness, and the flame has
burned all the trees of the field!
Desolation desolate. Belgium and
Northern France four years after the
German invasion were Paradise in
comparison with the land that the
locusts left behind them.
And what are you going to do
about it?" inquiries the Prophet. rhae
locusts came because OF your iniquity:
turn from your iniquity, and the
floor shall oe full of wheat, and the
watts shall overflow with wine and
oil, and l will restore to you the
years which the locusts have eaten.
But Joel is not through yet. In

Jehovah has triumphed, and as a
result OF the triumph the mountains
drop down sweet wine, the hills flow
with milk, the torrents Of Judah flow
with sparkling water, and God
dwclls with them forever" midst
peace, plenty and gladness.
In a word, Joel vsualizes the ages

A RAY OF HOPE

ID EPORTS from Chicago indicate that the voters
N there have administered a slap that will make
Mayor Thompson writhe.
New York, it is true, may not have a profound
interest in the governmental troubles Of the Windy
City New York has plenty Of troubles of its own.
But Chicago has been suffering from very much
the same sort of unintelligent incompetence m
municipal administration as New York has been
burdened with for three years. Mayor Thompson
has played politics, talked demagogy and quanelel
with his associates. The newspapers Of Chicago
have been the pet aversion of the Mayor.
Finally the citizens of Chicago have said their
say and have retired a majority Of the Thompson
tools. The inference is that the Mayor is likely to
be retired when his time comes.
In which the diligent seeker hereabout may find
a ray of hope
