MoNDAY EVENING, AUG. i. 49,.
PARTIES TO A FRAUD.

It IS hard to tell which will feel the greater
sense of injury, the investor in the notorious Pom
q fraud who got nothing back, or the one who, hav-
ing received fat profits as a bair for further invest
ment, is required to disgorge.
There may be a wholesome lesson in this case
Tor persons who are tempted to take a chance in a
more or less shady enterprise. Ponzi promised that
money invested with him would be returned with
so per cent profit at the end Of As days. What hyp-
motto methods he used to obtain the first invest
1nents on this basis remains a good deal of a mys-
terry, but the first investments did come. Some of
these were returned, as promised, with SO per cent
profit. Most of the original investors, seeing
such enormous returns, were anxious to repeat, and
did SO, and kept on, pyramiding as they went, until
the adventurer had millions of other peoples money.
a few, after having realized large dividends,
were cautious enough to quit. To their disgust
they find that they are not through. The courts
have ruled that the money which they received in
fictitious dividends, not being the result of any real
business operation, but part of a scheme to defraud,
does not belongfto them, and must be returned. AS
Tar as possible the courts will collect all the money
that Ponzi is known to have paid out in this manner,
and this, added to the funds seized while still in his
possession, will be distributed pro rata among his
adupes.
That makes rather ticklish business of invest
ing IN a wild cat mine, or oil well or rubber planta-
ton. In some of these cases the early conner gets a
tat worm in order that his chirping may attract 9TH
ser birds. But one cannot now depend on this work
ing out. A heartless sheriff may come along and
extract the worm even after it has been swallowed.
There will be little satisfaction for the bird in that.

WOMEN AND THE CONFERENCE.

C-ougTesSWOman Robertson Of Oklahoma is in a
way to get herself seriously disliked by those wao
have been clamoring for the recognition" of women
in public affairs on the sole basis of sex.
There have been suggestions, appeals and de-
|mands for the selection of at least one woman for
membership on the American delegation to the peace
conference. Mrs. Robertson, who happens to be the
only woman in congress, was asked what she
about it Without any evasion or qualifi-
cation, she declared her hearty disapproval of the
plan. She is in sympathy with the purposes of the
conference. She desires world peace, and she knows
what a burden the uncertainty Of the duration of
den lightened, and she hopes that the approaching
conference, will contribute largely to that result. Be
cause she Understands the work to be important, she
assumes that some special qualifications on the part
those who are to perform it will be needed. AS
she sees it, the members Of that conference should
possess more than good intentions and profound
sympathy. They need special knowledge and spe-
|cial training. They should be familiar with the
needs Of government and should be thor
Ioughly conversant with international law. Among
other tfings-and this will be taken as a little fling
lat her. own sex-they should be able to listen atten-
lively without saying much, Mrs, Robertson 5chal-
llenges all corners to produce a woman possessing
the qualification which she outlines. When that is
done she will give the subject further consideration.
Mrs Robertson's viewpoint is entirely different
from that Of ! very great number Of other people.
When there is to be constituted a body of dignity
and responsibility, no matter for what purpose, there
comes Immediately the demand that this or that
group Of this or that interest be recognized BY. the
appointment OF one or more of its representatives q
member Of the proposed body. Failure to do this is
interpreted as sighting that particular group.

How Tides Will Be Harnessed.

An attempt Is to be made TO harness
the tides at the mouths of several
British rivers. using the power thus
obtained to generate electricity. The
engineers who are making the plans
estimate that the electricity will be
obtained AT only twO-thirds the cost OF
electric power generated by coal.
The basic principle underlying most
of the inventions for Harvesting the
tides is the working Of turbine by
tidal ebb and flow. The tide makes
the power at both its inflow and its
outflow. only ceasing for n compare
lively short time during the period of
half tide. In one Cheshire and Lam
cashire district the great variation In
the hour of the tide at neighboring
estuarles makes possible. through an
ingenious discovery, the production of
maximum energy during an almost
continuous period.

APPROVE HIGHWAY PROJECTS
Preliminary Estimate of Cost of I'M
provements is Approximately
1884, 100000.

Up to June 30, 1920, 2,9S5 projects
involving a total of 29,319 miles of
road had been approved by the sec
rotary Of agriculture. The prelim-
mary estimate of the cost of these
projects is approximately S3S4900,00O,
of which approximately S1G3,SH,000
will be approved as federal aid. On
the same date dig projects repre-
senting approximately 1914 miles had
either been completed or were under
construction. The estimated total cost
OF these projects in various stages Of
construction and completed, is $780,
100000. The total cost of federal-ald
work approved by the secretary in the
10 months subsequent to the signing
of the armistice and prior TO July /,
1920, which is approximately S330,000,-
600, exceeded by $4,000, OOOsthe cost
Of all road and bridge work done by
states and counties in this country in
1915 The value of the work com
nleted during that period amounted to
$60,000,00O, rate Of CONSTRUCTION
equaling that Of the Panama canal.

How Pavement Was Repaired.

Special precautions have been taken
in the repair of a wooden block pave
ment that was laid last year at St
Louis beneath a fervid Missouri sun
The blocks, somewat too green, began
to shrink, and joints less than a quar-
ter-inch wide expanded TO one-half
inch The pitch filler melted and
loosen block were floating like debris
in an asphalt lake.
To reconstruct the pavement the
blocks were driven tightly together. n
fine mineral filler was forced to the
bottom of the joints, type Of pitch
was chosen that showed high melting
points, and, after the pavement was
again laid, It was shielded temporarily
from direct solar heat with coating
of wet sand.

COYOTES AND KITTENS PLAY
How the Result of Cats Adoption OF
Wild Cubs Seems to BE Work
in Out.

In addition TO an already large fam
the VI. Brent family of South Fork
has adopted two coyote puppies.
Several weeks ago when w. w.
Buckbee and r. H. Carter. who live
near the Brent farm. found the den
OF a coyote on the latters place they
captured several very small coyote
puppies, says western newspaper.
When shown at the Brent farmhouse
some Of the children wanted the little
coyotes and paid their captors for two
Of them.
The little coyotes were placed among
the kittens belonging TO the old fam
lily cat and after a careful scrutiny
and few shifts, the old cat began
mothering them the same as her own
kittens.
Now the.cats family Of kittens and
the two adopted coyote puppies are
nearly two months old and all live to-
gether happily and appear TO be max
Ing the most Of life. The coyotes are
getting much bigger than the kittens
and are playful and mischievous. In
the rough-and-tunble tussles they are
continually staging the coyotes are
stronger. but the kittens are more ac-
tive, so ii is about an even match as
yet. While the coyotes can easily
wallop the kittens on a straight-out
fight, yet the latter, when on the de-
fensive, will curl up on their backs
and keep the coyote puppies at bay
by the rapid kicks of hind legs and
the scratching Of their sharp claws

MAINTAINING DIRT HIGHWAY
Where Patrol System Is Used, Light
Blade Grader Is Fest Tool TO

The best tool for use on earth road
maintenance is a light-blade grader.
Where patrol system of maintenance

The ideal grader is one strong enough

is too heavy for two horses, yet light

er, the seller does not tell the buyer
the horse will haul two tons in the
country.
The farmer knows his conditions
and what he can expect.
In view of the fact that farmers
are using an ever increasing number
Of motortrucks, ii is interesting TO
note what a leading transportation au-
thority recently said about doing
this with trucks, that is, calling them
two, three, four, etc., ton trucks.
obviously il is as illogical for a
motortruck manufacturer 10 label his
truck n two-ton hauler rs it would be
for horse dealer TO say how much
a horse would. haul. Clearly in either
case the load which may be transport
ed depends almost entirely upon condi-
tons. For this reason leading manu-
facturers have abolished the ton rat
ing method and are fitting the trucks
to the job A transportation engineer
goes over the hauler's conditions thor
oughly. All his difficulties and adj
vantages are carefully considered, and
the proper size unit prescribed. Thus,
a truck formerly rated at two tons
may be used for a four-ton load In the
city, while in an unusually bad see
tlon Of the country a unit with larger
rated horse power capacity may be
necessary, if the owner is TO prevent
wasteful depreciation"
In other words, manufacturers are
taking advantage Of the experience
gained in horse hauling. They real
lie it takes "ten horses on loose gravel
and one on concrete" They are sell
ing their transportation accordingly.

times of extravaganza and times of thrift
the Franklin always progressed.
The reason is In your mind right now.
The Franklin gives you a fashionable, smart
