Seeing the Earth Move.

With a bowl of water and some
powdered resin one may observe the
earth's motion, we are told by S.
Leonard Bastin in The Scientific Am
erican (New York; 1t is commonly
supposed. says Mr.. Basin, that it is
not possible to demonstrate the move
ment of the earth without elaborate
apparatus, which is far from being
the case. He goes on:
In the first place select a room
that is fairly free from vibration.
Then obtain good-sized bowl or tub
foot or more in diameter and r.th-
Ell deep. and nearly fill it with water.
Place this on the floor of the room
in such a position that it need not
be disturbed for some hours. Get
some finely powdered resin and sprin-
kle coating of this on the surface
os the water. Any fine substance that
would float and not be dissolved for
some hours would do as well. Next
secure a little coal dust and sprinkle
some on the top of the resin in q
straight line from the center to the
circumference. Carry this line UP over
the rim of the bowl. and make it
broad enough to be clearly seen -
say about an inch in width. The bowl
may now be left for several hours, at
the end Of which time it will be not
iced that an interesting thing has
happened. 1t will be seen that the
line on the surface of the water i:as
changed it's position and that it no
longer meets that which runs up over
the rim of the bowl. AS matter of
fact the black line on the surface of
the water has swept around from east
to west. What has happened is this ::
The water in the bowl has stood still
throughout the time which it has
been left, while the vessel itself has
been carried around by the motion of
the earth from west to east. Another
way of putting it is that the earth
has swung around through a consid
cradle arc from west TO east, leaving
the water quite Litter

Sherlock Izzy Again.

Izzy Einstein, the demon <prohibi-
ton enforcement officer who has
made things hot for many Brooklyn
dispensers of liquor. made another
raid recently. This time he visited
Manhattan and entered the Yorkville
Casino, disguised as trombonist.
At the request of some of the patrons
he played many of the old barrsom
favorites and was rewarded by hav-
ing good liquor thrust upon him. He
allowed the glasses to remain on his
table while he continued to play for
the admiring guest. Finally after
playing "a Wee Doc an Doris" on
his trombone, he arrested the prop
rietor of the Casino, together with
the owner of the saloon and lunch
room.

A GOOD NEIGHBOR.

If some of our ancestors were to
come back to earth, those good old
hospitable people, they'd want to
know what's the matter with these
modernists. Why a good neighbor is
getting 10 be rare thing in this
world. And it often happens that we
are not good ourselves and that's the
reason why there no better than they
are. If l want to be the whole cheese
skin and all, 1 have no right to ex-
pect people TO be loving, and petting
me. Bad neighbors reduce the price
OF land and increase the cost of liv-
ing and keep everybody in stir.
Once man was asked what he
thought was a good neighbor He
said "a good neighbor keeps his
place neat and clean; will go out of
, his way to do you a favor; will lend
you any ordinary thing (not automo-

BUYING CARS ON CREDIT.

Statistics Of automobile sales Just
made public throw light on the prac-
ticc of selling motor cars or the in
stallmcnt plan. According TO replies
made to questionnare subm tied by
the General Motors Acceptance Cor
poration, Of 1876 cars sold be
tween August /, l9l9,and July 81,
1920 %, ,729, or 4G.7 were sold on
time, including both passenger cars
and trucks. Cash sales to farmers
numbered 1926 against 3S.2lG ON
time. The percentage Of city pur-
chasers paying cash was higher
amounting to 81 pcI cent. The ave
rage initial payment was 46 pen cent
and the tins allowed for the payment
of all the purchase money less than
Jnr year
The figures II sprove the popular
impression that a Ear larger proper
tior Of motor cars than is the actual
case is sold on time They compare
favorably with the average cash sales
of musical instruments of only from
3 TO 9 per cent Of the total number.
The automobile is still practically on

Yet the extent to which the install
ment plan has developed indicates
that the prosperity of the industry is

DAME RUMOR PREDICTS
GUSHER AT BUCHANAN

" O Dunlap Of Dunlap, \ NJ,
who was In Clovis this uee, stated
that excitement is running high in
DeBacca county over the prospects Of
a well six miles south Of Buchanan.
The well, in Township 2 North,
Range 20 East, is being drilled by the
National Exploration Company, a
New York syndicate. Latest reports
are to the effect that the we'll has
reached an oil bearing sand and that
drilling was stopped. The well is
guarded and no one is allowed near,
which adds more mystery
Buchanan is 100 miles west Of Clo-
Wis, and people here are auXiously
awaiting further developments.
