FINISH GAMES
Charleston : BuckhannOn
Game May Decide State
Championship
By Harry Adams stansbury

Tomorrow will 9 the close Of
the West virginia nigh school grid
season, and unless a post-season
game is arranged between Buck
harmon and Parkersburg the end
ing will be unsatisfactory o the
majority OF the folio wers Of the
high school teams.
However, Charleston has a
chance, and a fairly good one. to
upset again the old dope" bucket
by beating BucAannon when the
two teams clash at Laidley field.
This will be the most important
game Of the day because Buck
harmon has yet to lose a game and
Charleston played her best football
Of the season against Huntington
two weeks ago. BuCkhannon, how
ever, realizes, that one Of the big
gest arguments SIZE can advance
for an even claim for the Cham
piouship with Parkersburg is a de-
c!sive defeat for Charleston and
will he in a fighting mood.
Buckhannon's claims to cousid-
GRAFTON for the state title got a
boost last week when Clarksburg
beat Huntington because Buchan-
non had previously beat Clarks-
burg and P~arkersburg had Of
the hardest games Of her season in
beating Huntington.
A game between Elkins and
Parkersburg has been discussed
for tomorrow. but last reports in
dictate some. uncertainty about this
and II It is gone through with
Parkersburg should have no
trouble as Weston beat Ellkius In
a close game and Buckhannon
slaughtered Weston.
The Tairmont- ClarksburE came
will be a classic but ClarksburE
should win handily. H:te's team
turned In a great victory over
Huntington last week that did
much to make his frst season at
Clarksburg a success. Spencer
will beat Ravenswood: Follonsbee
should have little trouble with
Mingo; Sistersville and Middle
bourne will stage a close game and
the same will apply when st. Al
bans and Creredo-Kenova meet.
The Misunderstanding game Is
one OF the greatest annual con-
tests in the Ohio Valley. Both
teams have fine records this year
and Wheeling is easily among the
top-notchers in West Virginia and
will carry the Mountain State COL
ors c%reditably.

HOW SPEED COP "GETS EN-"
Two Needles on His Indicator-one
Showing Offenders Rate of Travel.

Many persons-including those who
have the distinction of being held up
bv a traffic officer. now known as the
state highway police, have wondered
how the officer was able to tell them
so decidedly and with such accuracy
the speed at which they had been driv-
ing their auto.
1t is simple enough-when you un-
derstand. The officers motorcycle has
a speedometer attached, but it Is a
double -registering speedometer. Two
needles indicate the motorcycles speed.
So when the officer overhauls speed
ing auto, he runs alongside for short
distance. having set" his speed indi-
Gator and halts the offending auto.
But" invariably says the driver, Il
wasn't running anywhere like what
you say-40 miles an hour never do
and my machine won't make it. How
do YOU know | was
The state highway police never
cracks a smile or argues the point. He
simply requests the offender to look at
his speedometer and there the deadly
needle Of the second part. Exhibit B,
as it were and equal in force to the
deadly parallel column, tells the story.
A Somerset county man recently
pulled mp for speeding and taken into
the Lewiston court said, with large
and beautiful grin, after he had gazed
upon the tell-tale needle of the OIL
GERS speedometer:
You're right won't kick. And |
wish there were more of you fellows
on the roads
He was real sport. He also paid
$40 with another beautiful grin.-ken-

NO WOMAN is

Despite State Law Enact

WASHINGTON COUNTY
DREW ONLY MEN
For Duty at the Coming
Term Of County
Court

II will be noted that no name was
drawn by the jury commission In
Washington county of woman to APP
pear on the jury at the coming term OF
county court judges. Judge Stanley C.
Wilson at Newport gave an adverse
ruling which was taken for time as
an opinion but in the last days of the
last session of legislature Mrs. w. III.
Jeffrey drafted bill which defines the
word person" and our general law
was amended through her efforts so
that woman may hold Office. The 10Th
amendment, according to opinions OF
different attorney generals, did not give
women right to hold Office but only the
right to vote.
Vermont amended its law, therefore,
so that Judge Wilson's opinion, which
was that women are disqualified to
act as Jurors until such time as the
legislature by suitable legislative ac'
ton shall have qualified them to so
act" is ruled out.
With this in mind Mrs. Jeffrey spoke
before the judiciary committee and act
No. was enacted which gives them
that privilege and even goes farther
than that. 1t reads, "a person shall not
be debarred on account of sex from
holding any office or position of trust
or responsibility under the state, in
Guiding United States senator and rep
resentative to Congress or any county,
town, city, village, town school district,
incorporated fire, lighting or school dis

of acts inconsistent herewith, are here

RADIUM HABIT UNALTERABLE.
No Way Yet Found to Speed 1t Up
or Shut It Off, if We Would

Radium comes as nearly as possible
to the perpetual fire sought by the
alchemists. 1t always manages to be
little hotter than its surroundings,
whether it be immersed in liquefied air
or put into blast furnace. Nothing
we can do to it alters its habits
Without haste and without rest IL
radiates at an even rate. If we could
only find way to speed it up when
we wanted to use its heat and TO shut
it off when we did not need it, we
might make use of its power. But
the kew that unlocks the atom has not
been found.
Since all the atoms are composed of
similar rotating systems, any OF the
elements, especially the heavy ones,
might provide us with energy to run
our machinery if we knew how to set
il loose. Radium, uranium and few
Others are decomposing spontaneously,
but the rest seem to be quite stable.
If they, too, are disintegrating, how
ever slowly. we should have to face
the fact that the whole world would
ultimately slough off and dissolve into
pelium and hydrogen gases.
1t has recently been found possible
to smash up pesceable atom by pro
iectiles from one of its belligerent
neighbors. For instance, in this way
hydrogen has been Clipped of from
the nitrogen atom. But it requires
more energy to break up an ordinary
atom than can get out of it. This is
fortunate, for if it were otherwise
some chemist might hit upon the right
vibration to smash up the atom and
the shock of this would set off the
others like grains of gunpowder, and
so the earth would vanish in one big
explosion disquieting thought.-The
