Tuesday next Nov. s, is election
day, when the voters of Cecil will be
called upon to elect men to the
offices of State Comptroller, State
Senate, three members of House of
Delegates, and the county offices OF
Register of Wills, Long Term Coun-
ty Commissioner, Short Term Coun-
ty Commissioner, Sheriff, County
Treasurer, and Assistant County
Treasurer.
At this late date no doubt almost
every voter has definitely decided
for whom his or her ballot will be
cast. Beginning early in the sum-
mer, when candidates began an
nouncing themselves for the pri-
mary, the campaign has been long
one, and every voter has had ample
time and opportunity to become
familiar with the merits or the can,
didates, and their qualifications for
the Office to which each particular
one aspires.
In this respect it is worthy oil
note that the Legislative candidates
on both Democratic and Republican
tickets have put themselves on rec
ord on the several moral issues thai
are of vital Importance to the wei
fare OF our county and State. Among
these issues we mention concur.

Volstead Act, adjustment of race
track and other forms of gambling
Sabbath observance laws, and {
change in the marriage laws, thai
will put to an end the quick mar
riage business that has been such 6
disgrace to the State.
These questions have all beer
uppermost in the minds of the
voters, and our Legislative candi
dates have all placed themselves OF
the same footing as favoring legis
lation that, if enacted, will go 6
great way toward correcting the
evils that our present loose laws

best qualified for the offices to be
filled.
Mere party voting, voting for g
candidate regardless of qualifica

be on the ticket, is mighty cheaI
form of franchise, and one thai
makes ring rule easy. Let every
voter assert his independence of any

Referring to his proposal that the

John N. Mackall, chairman of the
State Roads Commission, has point

impost would be the fairest way to
taxing motor vehicle owners accord

Fuel used by motorboats or by
other than automobile engines
would be exempt, according to the

American newspapers are spending
considerably more on their service
abroad than for parallel service in
America. Who knows better the
things Americans are interested in
than the managing editors who au-
thorize this? ANY event of more than
local interest in Europe calls the
American journalists to the spot. For
example, one morning at 10 O'Clock
in London, strolled into a British
labor congress. l met there six
American newspapermen. and but
three or four British. Let any trou-

DAMS WILL PREVENT FLOODS
Catastrophe That Overwhelmed the
City of Pueblo Can BE Avoided
by Proper Action.

A disastrous flood occurs, causing
loss OF many human lives aud mil
| lions of dollars worth of property.
What happens neSt? What precautions
are taken TO pre- rent disaster?
Usually what happens is that the suf-
ferins community courageously under
takes the task of reconstruction. The
food is called an 'act of God" and
confidence is felt that there will he
no repetition of the calamity. But
the conditions that gave rise TO tie
disaster continue 10 exist, and such
being the case, there is no assurance
that it will not repeat itself.
Ii the catastrophe that overwhelmed
the city of Pueblo is not TO be repeated,
again and yet again perhaps, pre-
Ventive measures must be adopted.
Dams must be built and Reservoirs
constructed at the headwaters of the
Arkansas river TO impound its floods.
The government reclamation service
points out that floods not less destruc-
Rio Grande if the waters of that
stream were not held in leash by the
great Elephant Butte dam. Before
that dam, with its vast reservoir, was
constructed, flood time aRd again
wreaked havoc in the vicinity of Ell
PaSo.
The Elephant Butte dam is one OF
the greatest engineering works on the
globe. 1t is 300 feet high, nearly one
third of a mile long, and creates the
largest irrigation reservoir in the world
an artificial lake covering 63 square
miles and averaging 40 feet in depth.
The water contained in the reservoir
would cover the whole state of Con-
necticut to depth of ten inches.
Development of similar works on the
headwaters of the Arkansas river
would not only prevent future floods,
but would store water for irrigat!ng
hundreds of thousands of acres. and
furnish water power for all the manu-
featuring industries in that part OF
the country.

SkLvAGERS DID GOOD WORK
Recovering Disabled Ships During the
World War Was Matter Of
Highest Heroism.

Landlubbers link salvaging ships
and cargOes TO easy deals in treasure
trove. but the shippers of the salvag-
ing ships would tell them that salvage
is sweaty and poorly paid exeruon.
They do not regard themselves as ad-
yenturers of romance. They are divers
OF seagOing ambulances. They are
marine Surgeons. who operate on sick
or disabled craft. says the Spokane
Spokesman Review.
Salyaging before the war was q mat
ter-of-fact trade. but during the war
il became a business fraught with ex-
traordinary dangers. The maritime

Al the Dardanelles five vessels were
sunk near shore, ana yet all were sal

firms.
In June OF 1917 the salvagers recoy-
cred four good-siZed steamers in ten
days that. had been sunk in the English
channel. They Salvaged Beattie's flag
ship and the Britannia and the Astu-
rias; the submarine K-13 after its crew
had been submerged two and half
days; the wrecks off Ostend and Zee
brugge.
The salvaging boats had at one and
the same time to act as machine shop,
power house, pumping station and tug.
They worked in a single spot, where
they were target for every German
submarine anywhere around. They
showed a heroism beyond praise.

Small Clouds on Jupiter.

Prof. w. II. Pickering, in a recent
address before the British AStronom-
icai association, recalled the fact that
during his observations at Arequipa he
noticed that the surface of Jupiter, in
stead of being composed of uniform
bands of yellowish white or brown
really consisted of an enormous num-
Der of extremely minute reddish brown
clouds seen upon a perfectly white
background The effect of belts was
produced where the cloudlets were nu-
merous, and the light spaces where
they were scarce. He compared the
appearance of these spots TO the we'll
known rice grains" on the sun. Their
length lay in the direction of rotation
of the planet. He said he had since
observed the cloudlets in Jamaica, and
they have been seen in England by
Phillips and SteavenSOn.-Scien

NOTHING "S0FT" ABOUT THIS

fiaring beds of scarlet geraniunis,
scorched brown grass and the SHIN
mering heat rejecting copper work
surrounding the Victoria memorial.
The fountain was not playing and the
surroundings were as devoid of cool
ness as an alfalfa plain. One almost
expected to see scurrying tarantulas
and lizards. 1t was tropical military

directions were given and they

The Catch.

A New England spinster was much
enamored of a neighboring farmer, but
the affection was not returned. One
day, starting on one of his weekly
visits to town, the maiden came rush
ing out, crying:
"Yoo-hoo, Mr.. Simpkins. do you
mind taking me with you?"
The farmer considered wariiy and
finally allowed her TO climb in.
In vain the lady tried every topic. of
conversation without eliciting response
ara finally in desperation fell back on
the passing bits Of scenery. Going by
the minister's house, she cried: "Oh,
Mr.. Simpkins, what beautiful hitch
ing post Pastor Watson has"
"Gol duin," cried the other crack
ing his whip. Il knowed there was a
hitch in it somewhere. Dobbin.

Drummer Devised Shrewd Scheme for
Putting End to Series of Petty
Extortions.

Like cures like" said Speaker Gill
lett, aprOpos of certain extortions.
Abuse may cure abuse, too.
Il once knew a drummer for a
chemical firm. This drummer would
visit Pottsville four or five times a
year. He would arrive late in the
evening at the Pottsville hotel and
depart after lunch the next day. He
didn't stop a full day, you see; he
got no dinner; nevertheless he was
always charged a full days board.
1.-The eXtortion got on his nerves
at last; so one afternoon when his
bill was brought him, he took out his
pad and drew up an account against
the iandlady for a carboy of sulphuric
acid.
Take this TO Mrs. Tompkins,' he
said TO the waiter, and ask her If she
would mind settling up at once
''In a few minutes Mrs. TompkinS
herself appeared.
Why she said to the drummer,
4 never bought any sulphuric acid
froru-you in my life. This bill is a
mistake
-. Neither have l ever eaten any Of
your dinners, ma'am,' said the drum
mer, ebut you charge me for them
every time / come to POttsville.'
after that the Pottsville hotel never
charged the drummer for things he

APRON WORN AS ORNAMENT
Women of Czecho- SIovakia Don Gar
ment With View of Attracting
Masculine Eyes.

In the villages and country portions
of Czecho- Slovakia the women do not
wear aprons as a badge of work. On
the contrary the CZecho- Slovakia maid
does not put her apron on when she
enters the house-she dOns ii only
when she is going out to capture the
eye of some swain who long has paid
her court. And these aprons usually
are heirlooms. Green is the favorite
color. Next in popularity come gold
or yellow, silver, pink, blue, cerise and
flaming rose. Usually the embroider-
les which display these colors are upon
dark foundations. Some, however, are
white. In both types gay ribbons some
times play a part. And often the white
mutton sleeves of the waists are gay
ly embroidered TO complete the radiant
effect the wearer's apron lends as she
strolls down the street or along tile
country lane.
Their skirts are usually black and
always short. Their stockings are for
protection in their walks as well as for
display. Some have small, bright de-
signs knitted into the dull black. The
waist-length jackets theys wear are
usually quite plain, save for the hand
made lace around the bust and on the
sleeves. The head shawls. sound the
varying color note. But it is in the
aprons that the love of color is more
clearly shown. N

Net Enough Amateurs.

Speaking recently In London, Lord
de Walden expressed some views
anent the musical amateur. He held
that the sad thing about the amateur
was that there was not enough of him,
that he should be So per cent of the
population and it did not matter how
badly he played. The worse he played
the more modest he was likely to be.
From bad amateurs was drawn the
audience who listened 10 good pro-
fessionals. The ordinary taste of the
amateur was just as likely TO be good
as bad. ii depended upon what he was
first offered. Cultured taste was real
~ the only bad taste in England and
he would rather trust the ordinary
crossing sweeper for an appreciation
of music than the gentleman who had
come from n public school. Lord de
Walden also insisted that 1t was OBJ
vious that the English were must
cal as that the French were not, and
claimed that larger audiences of anna
tours would result If all concerts in
England did not take place practical
~ in one plot i'm the west end of
London where there were 1900 times
too many concerts for the ground on
which they were given.

NEW TERRITORY IS

SIX THOUSAND ACRES IN THRAcE
ARE RENTED BY NEAR
EAST RELIEF

Six thousand acres of the richest
farming land in the historic region of
Thrace has been rented from the
Greek Government by the Near East
Relief. Americas official organization,
chartered by Congress, for carrying
on relief work in the Near East, as a
homeland for one thousand destitute
Armenian refugees. dependent on the
resources of the American charity.
American money has provided the
land, the American flag flies over it..
and American machinery is to till it..
And this last means the economic re-
generation of the people and the
country.
THE time had come to start some
thing" said James Crutcher, a young
Alabama relief worker in charge OF
the enterprise. I'VE were spending
all our resources feeding the starv-
Eng. sheltering the sick and clothing
the naked. That work. of course. was
absolutely necessary and bad to be
done. But il wasn't getting any
where for the future. Besides. the
people chahed at having continually
to accept charity. They were hard
working. industrious. people who had
earned their bread by the sweat of
their brows. and they wanted to work
for what they got.
I'VE looked about us for a way.
Then came the idea There were
acres OF the richest farming land in
the world right next door In Thrace,
and most of il wasn't being worked
With the cordial cooperation OF the
Greek Government. we rented six
thousand acres Of this. brought from
home enough agricultural machinery
OF the latest mage and enough seed TO
put things in motion and then trans
ported one thousand OF our refugees
who were living in unspeakable filth

When Water Was a Mystery.

Up to 1TSI water meant either moth
ing at all or else a great mystery to
the scientists. In that year Henry
Cavendish. teacher of chemistry, dis
covered that it really consisted of a
number of gases that had been chilled
into liquid form.
1t remained for the French savant
LavoiSier to bring about. in 1888. the
decomposition of water into oxygen
anu hydrogen, and seven years later
two other Britons improved on this
method. They were Nicholson and
Carlisle. who succeeded in separating
the two elements by means of the

Four Major Crimes in England.

In England there are. four crimes
punishable by death-setting fire to
the royal dockyards or arsenass. piracy
with violence, treason and murder.
Death was i'm former times. in Eng
land. the ordinary punishment for all
felonies. Blackstone refers to 160 Of
lenses as punishable by death. some Of
them of nature which appears
trivial. For instance. a man who cut
down a tree or unprecedented a Green
WITCH pensioner generally paid the life
penalty. Due to the eXertions of Sir
Samuel Romilly. this severe criminal
code gave way towards the end of
the reign of George III TO more HUI
name conceptions. Since the statute
of 1861 there have remained only the
four crimes punishable by death.
