Aviation Fatalities

The frightful disaster that over
took an army airpIane going up
from Washington, with many other
recent airplane tragedies, is . sharp
reminder of the price that scientific
advance has to pay. Some people
win say that aviation is surrounded
hy so many perls that it should
BE abandoned as a commercial enter,
prise. ....-,r..-..
IL that theory had prevailed f.
aIftient times, men would never have
SET out to sail the seas in their frail
Cox kleshells then used as ships. Col
umbus or the Norsemen would never
hsve crossed the ocean and the
American continent would still be
tenanted by savages.
The airplane tragedies so far re-
corded must be few in proportion to
the inumerable multitude who lost
their lives while developing sea
navigation. The world is full of
adventurous spirits who will not be
daunted by any such hazards. They
would rather risk their lives than
miss the exhilaration that comes
from conquering nature. The world
owes an incalcuable debt to these
bold leaders of progress.

AUTO TO FEED ITSELF


Boston, Mass.,-A prediction that
automobiles within few years would
carry individual stills to>sgoduce fuel
for their operation was nfe&e last
night by Thomas A. Edison, ~
Discussing carburetion at the gIa'
duation exercises of the Knights o1
Columbus Automobile schools, the
son of the inventor said he haC
himself been seeking a substitute fol
gasoline for ten years. The pro.
blem would be solved, he said, b!
the manufacture of individual dis
tilleries to be attached to cars, the
stills to be operated by the heat anC
motion of the motor, and to produce
from petroleum and other ingredient!
a combustible mixture supplied a!
constantly as current is generated b,
electric cars while in motion.
A car of average power, in hi
opinion, could be equipped to pro
duce sufficient fuel to run itself an,
enough by products to pay for it
maintenance.

NEW NATIONAL CHAIRMAN
John T. Adams, of Dubuque Elected
Chairman Republican National
Committee.

John I. Adams, of Dubuque, was
elected chairman of the Republican
National Committee last Thursday,
and succeeds Postmaster General
Will H. Hays, whose formal resigna-
tion was presented and accepted.
John T. Adams career in politics
that resulted in his election to the
Craftsmanship of the republican ma
ational committee at its meeting in
Washington began in 1908, when he
was selected by the late U. S. Sena-
tor William B. Allison to conduct
the latter's last primary campaign in
Iowa.
His rise in political ranks since
that time has been rapid.
Mr.. Adams was elected national
committeeman from iowa in 1912
and reelected in 1916 and 1920. He
has twice been elected as vice chair
man of the committee. In 1920, as
vice chairman of the committee, he
played an important part in the cam
paign that sent Warren G. Harding
to the White House, for it was Mr..
Adams who was in charge of the
Western Republican headquarters at
Chicago.

The modern minstrelsy evolved
from the colored race. The negro if
he can be restrained from becoming
self conscious makes the best min-
strel man. Any person is sure of
a good laugh if they can but be
around group of negroes thirty
minutes without the latter knowing
they are near because then the
colored man is perfectly natural.
There have been many colored
minstrel shows which were unsatis-
factory in their entertainment be-
cause the colored performers were
self conscious and did not act natur-
al. The Famous Georgia Minstrels
have always been fortunate in hav-
ing as manager one who was
familiar with the peculiarities of the
negro and knew just bow to get the
performers to exhibit that peculiar
humor so well known among the
Southern darkies. Mr.. Hockwald the
present company manager is native
of the South and has assembled a
company of performers that are not
posers, but real entertainers.

What a "Snll" is Good For.

c. c. Summers, internal revenue
collector, was in Cresco recently,
coming here to register a still in
stalled at the Wentworth & Burr
garage Under federal law every
still must be registered and a permit
issued for its use. 1t is a simple,
but very interestin g apparatus.
Water from the city supply is con-
Quoted into a small metallic reservoir
which is heated by a gasoline burn
er. The water in converted into
steam and passes on to another res
eIvoir which is kept cool by cold wa
ter circulating in a jacket around it.
Here the steam is condensed and con-
veyed thru a small rubber tube to a
glass jar. It requires about three
hours to produce two gallons of dis
titled water by this process. Water
thus treated is absolutely free of all
impurities and foreign substances.
The city water here contains an abb
normally high percentage of lime,
all of which is left as a deposit in the
heating reservoir ,
There are various uses for the dis
titled water. 1t Is used in batteries
in automobiles, Physicians and phar-
'macist use it In preparing medicines.
1t is prescribed in certain cases of
stomach and kidney trouble. Soil
testing gas done by the county agent
requires distilled water. -
The precautionary measures taken
W the revenue department in re-
Quiring registration of course is to
prevent the use of stills for making
Intoxicating liquors, end any one
having an unregistered still in his
possession is liable to get into trou-
bic with our Uncle Samuel. -Cresco

BACKING UP
BASE BALL TEAM
Running a Ball Team Calls for a Lot
OF Business Sense, Many
Teams Fail for Lack
OF Ii,
PEOPLE MUST GIVE
GOOD SUPPORT
Must Not Expect That Team Can
Win Every Game or That
Players Shall Not
Make Errors.

To get baseball well organized in
any community, the business men
ought to be willing, if occasion seems
to call for it, to organize a baseball
or athletic association, and assume
responsibility for management and
for financing the sport. Running a
ball team calls for a lot of business
sense, and many good teams have
failed for lack of it.
The leadership and counsel of the
business men is needed, to assure
the public that the game is run on
the square, to check the little jeal-
ousies and rivalries that queer so
many teams, and to provide financial
backing.
But it takes something more than
business leadership. The mass of the
people must give good support. They
must not expect that a team can
win every game or that players shall
never make errors. A great many
ball teams have been hoodooed by the
tendency of the spectators to turn
them down whenever they have haa
hard luck and to condemn a hard
working and usually successful
player for every trifing mistake. If
the spectators yell "Take him out,
every time a fellow makes mis-
play, the best of players will get
sore and the team will lose heart.
Considering the value Of organized
baseball in promoting health Of play
ers and spectators, in making a town
attractive to residents and visitors. it
is good business policy, to tct Ve
generous facilities for the slsA.
This means good ball park with
equipment according to the play
grounds and the prosperity of the
town.
It also calls for a good many
small Fairgrounds where the boy
element can practise and get ready to
graduate into big teams later on.
1t also means organization ,of an
industrial league of workers in shops
and stores and Offices. Our people in
Decorah should do everything possi-
bic to realize these advantages and
give the sport a hearty local back
ing.
We understand that committee is
going out this week to see what can
be done towards organizing a team
here for the balance Of the season.

HIGHWAY men
HERE FROM AMES
Chief Engineer White and Chair
man J. W. Holden Here Look
ing Over Primary Roads.
MET WITH COMMERCIAL
CLUB MEMBERS HERE
Contract for Grading Burr Oak and
Ridgeway Roads to be
Let in July.

There has been considerable dis
satisfaction in Winneshiek county
over the fact that nothing has been
done with our primary roads, with
putting them to grade, etc.
Supervisor Bakken, Engineer Arne-
son, Contractor A. r. Coffeen and
Emil Rosenthal went TO Ames Sun
day to confer with the highway
engineer over the matter, and it
looks now as if something has been
started, as Chief Engineer Fred r
White of the highway commission,
]. w. Holden, Chairman. highway
commission and VIM. Collinson an
attorney member of the commission
are here now going over the roads.
They came here to look over the
Military Trail road running from
McGregor to New Hampton, through
Ossian, Calmar and Fort Atkinson.
One thing wanted on this road is
to have the dangerous railroad
crossings eliminated east of 0ssian.
The board of supervisors and rail-
road officials met with them, but no
decisions have been made yet.
They came to Decorah to look over
the Decentralization road, and are
going over that road now. Alla-
makee people want the road changed
to go through Nasset. While per-
haps, it would shorten the distance
some, it would be hilly and rocky
road, and the sentiment Of some
seems to be that it wouldn't be
advisable to change it.
Plans for putting to grade about
six miles of the Burr Oak and the
Ridgeway primary roads are here
and the contract for this work viii
be let by the board in July. The
dangerous railroad crossings near the
E. l.. Beard farm will be eliminated
and the road will run on the north
side of the railroad track.
About 35 members of the Com
mercial Club, met with the engi-
neers at a dinner at the Winneshiek
last evening, and Mr.. White gave
some facts and figures about the
work being done over the state. The
question of paving country roads was
| taken up, and Mr.. Whites advice
was that none should be done for
perhaps five years.

startled me.
"But-I have held solitary inquest
over all my dead romances and fri
volitics, and the fire of the funeral
pyre has been a purifying flame. If
John is f1SAd, or comes back" her
voice broke, her hands were cover

different woman than the one he
married"
And then we cried.
Some one knocked lightly on the
door.
Lila sat up, startled.

excitement.
A downstairs maid entered bearing
a silver card tray. The name on the
card was

PHILIP AMEs CALLS ON LILA

I WAS awake most Of the night.
was suffering more than | knew
could. | was suffering, perhaps, as
Tom had when | sent him a way and
refused to see him. l seems that all
of the way through life is a boom
erang-everything good and every
thing bad comes back.
As | lay there in the soft darkness
alone l felt lost-lost in a whirlpool
Of human desire and human uncer-
tainty. My life seemed to stretch
out before me a slow, sad thing iso-
lated amid eternity there was no
pause, no sheltering, inviting nook
simply something vast, amending and
uninviting.
l watched the day come and was
glad when | heard movements about
the house.
1t was little after half past seven
when | entered Mrs. Ames' room.
PPM glad you've come," she said
sincerely. 81 have been awake most
Of the night"
Il think we'll have some sort of
word today-at least we will all do
all we can," | said, but my heart
was too heavy to put any encourage
ment in the words.
Don't try to comfort me-" Lila's
voice was very low, 81 have tried all
night to think of excuses for myself
to find a balm for my conscience
but each one when | apply it to my
heart burns like acid. Life for wo-
men is largely matter of the heart
perhaps it isn't so with men
but it is with women"
"And it is so with men," I heard
myself saying, you will find behind
every mans success or downfall, be
hind every effort or lack Of it, some
element of the heart"
Il have been thinking it all over
and have discovered that | simply
didn't understand Johnnie wasn't
modern, he wasn't my kind, ever
though he sought me and I married
him." Lila's tone was reminiscent
ellis mother was an old-fashioneC
woman and | think the thing that
never understood about John is that
he was always Galahading; never
