WAVES OF GIGANTIC HEIGHT
Thousands Of Tons Of Water Not In
frequently Poured Upon Decks
of Ocean Vessels.

Even in stormy weather the average
height of waves i'm mid-ocean does not
as a rule exceed 80 or 40 feet. Some
times, however, one enormous wave
makes its appearance amidst the rest.
Why this should happen no one can
say. All we know is that a mighty
mass of water rushes suddenly toward
q ship at the appalling speed of over
100 miles an hour.
II the ship can meet such wave
with her bows she viii ride over il,
though thousands OF tons Of water
may sweep over her decks. But if
the wave is following her and rushes
at her from the stern, she may fail
to rise. Many a good ship has gone
to her doom in this way.
These vast mountains of water rise
sometimes to a height of more than
a hundred feet-as high as the spire
of a church. They have been known
to extinguish the masthead lights OF
sailing ships.
Sometimes on a perfectly calm day
there will be a sudden troubling Of the
surface of the sea, and without the
slightest warning wave 80 feet
nigh will appear.

Plant Societies.

1t appears that the knowledge of
botany has been greatly advanced by
the development of what may be
called the sociology of plants, that Is,
the study of their relations to one an
other as well as their adjustments to
surroundings. Botanists recognize that
plants are not scattered haphazard
over the globe, but are organized into
definite communities. A pond has its
plant society, all the members of
which fall into their proper places.
A swamp-forest consists of trees pos
sessing a certain social relationship,
and differing from those that form a
forest on dry land. There Is progress
sion from one social organization Of
plants to another. A llly-pond may
give place 10 swamp-mOor, this to u
society of swamp shrubs, and this,
again, to a swamp-forest Of tamarack,
pine and hemlOck. So societies of
plants on dry lands succeed one an
other as the conditions change.

Cause Of Volcanic Explosions.

Volcanic explosions are commonly
regarded as the release of stores of
energy kept confined by external
pressure, and boiled explosions and
geyser eruptions are typical of this
class of outbreaks. An expert of the
United States geophysical laboratory
finds that another class of explosions,
that of explosive mixtures like gun
powder, are not likely 10 occur in
volcanoes. But a third class, that of
explosive compounds brought into con-
tact with oxygen or water, Is more
probably the usual source of volcanic
explosions, and is Illustrated by alumni

"oKELEGGERs" ON THE RUN
Peddlers of Booze i'm Hawaii Having
Hard Time.

The "okelegger' is on the run in

Wallace r. Harrington is on his

PERFECT DIME-N0VEL HERO
Thomas StukeIy Peer Of Any Of the
Adventures Who FIourished
Under Good Queen Bess.

A career so lurid and impregnated
with a dime novel atmosphere has
scarcely ever been seen outside the
covers of the penny dreadfuis as fell
to the lot of Thomas Stukely as 1t ran
the gamut from matrimony to piracy,
interspersed with dashing, gallant and
fearless bravery which has caused his
name to be remembered when many a
better man has sunk to oblivion. Stuke-
ly was an adventurer by nature. His
mother was Irish and Of very
good family, and II is said that he
could claim as his father Henry VIII
of England. Stukely acquired a
great fortune by marrying lady Of
wealth and proceeded Immediately 10
spend II with the greatest dispatch.
Sir Walter Scott says that gallant ruff
fed IL with Raleigh and the best of
them at the court of Queen Eliza
beth. His first chimerlcal scheme was
TO found kingdom for himself In
Florida. Then he went to Ireland and
gained considerable influence over
Shane o'Neill. the most powerful of
the native chieftains, helping him TO
gain decisive battle. Stukely never
gave up his career as a merchant and
still retained ships which. under the
guise Of peaceful traders. committed in
famous piracies. On being discov-
cred he went TO Spain as grandee

A Girls Standard Wanted

In dancing, conversing, playing,
counting and "spooning," the stand
ards of young boys and girls were
liked, in the good old colonial days,
by the girls. Their natural femin-
inc modesty erected sensible social
barriers and the chivalry of men
made them sacred and preserved
them. The danes made gentlemen
of their men.
This order has been changed. Men
now fix the standards. Naturally,
they are not as high as they used
to be-" A man is not as particular
in things moral and esthetic as the
average girl. The modern man
makes a jazz hound Of his lady.
The modern girl endures a lot
OF things she inherently dishkes. She
puts up with annoying behavior just
10 be a good fellow. She really
doesn't like this cheek-tO-cheek and
wiggly dancing; but she stands for
it, for she is too good scout 70
be kill joy. And just because she
is such good fellow about it, the
men-good hearted fools-become
less lax in their behavior until they
unconsciously impose on good nature.
Fellows, we're going back again
to the standards set by the natural
modesty and sweet reserve of the
girls! And we're going to like il,
too!

centive to excessive good fellow

suffrage a fact, girls viii unconsci-
ously resent extreme impositions on
their fine comradeship. There is
certain to be a good natured reaction
on a part Of the ladies. They are
going to set new standards. Not by
law; by sweet common sense.
Femininity will never revert to
prudery, but girls are going to
sensibly amend that " go as far as
you like" policy of good fellowship
so that men will realize girls are less
common and more wonderful than
ever before.
And, we repeat, we'll like it.
Go to it, girls. Make US be goodl

The Indians, "Plpe of Peace.n

The calumet, the pipe of peace"
of the American Indians, was used on
all ceremonial occasions, but especial
ly when treaties of peace were being
ratified. Each warrior took a solemn
puff from the pipe as 1t was passed
around the circle. Native tobacco,
with which willow bark or sumac
leaves were mixed, was smoked. The
bowl of the pipe was made Of white
stone in the East and Southeast. In
the West 1t was made of red clay
obtained from the famous pipestone
quarry of Minnesota, mentioned In
LongfellOw's "Hiawatha." The pipe
had a very long stem, made some
times of wood, sometimes of reed.

Outside and Inside Patriots

The Rolfe Arrow rises to remark
that some folks will "holler their
star spangled heads off" over anar-
chy and national ills and issues but
who permit every sort of noxious
-asAs from -qyack grass to Russian
thistle to go to seed on their prem
Uses. They have no hesitancy what
ever in concentrating the soil of
their neighbors, making them end
less work and trouble"
Well, isn't it the truth? Isn't it
so that strong proportion Of US are
rarin' to go as state and national
patriots and dragging on the halter
rope in matters Of local patriotism?
Isn't a land owner who raises
crop of Canadian thistles year after
year in evasion and defiance of the
statutes made and provided; isn't he
a lawbreaker? What else can be
said of those who grow crop of
noxious weeds and scatter trouble
and labor across a COUNTRYSIDE in
violation of the statutory denial of
any such noxious privilege? What
of his local patriotism?
The lot owner who, through ne
glect or design leaves his parkings
weed grown and ragged on a street
where residents strive to maintain
neatness and beauty, is a Stacker to
his neighbors. He lacks local pat
riotism. The vacant lot owner who
negiects his property is a parasite
seeking to gain without labor and
care the fruits of the industry Of
Others. There is a lack of local
patriotism evident in implanted hou.
ses and unkept lawns. They re-
veal the Stacker.
1t is not unfair wnen the RolfC
Arrow, or others, question the pat
riotism of those who cheer the fal
afar and fail to recognize a patriot,

question the national and intera

get or deny local obligations and re

a poor patriot whose color doesn'
go clear through.
Perhaps the enthusiasm Of sue
persons lies in the fact that cheer
ing costs neither money nor labo

TWO DEAD F ROM
COLLISION WITH
s. F. PASSENGER
Ford Car Struck at Blue
water Crossing Yesterday
Morning; H. W. Carpenter
and W. c. Jolly Die Here.

Two men are dead as a result Of
a train accident yesterday morn

No. 2, eastbound. struck a Ford
touring car carrying three passen-
gers, at the Bluewater, N. NJ,
crossing. The dead are Henry
Ward Carpenter, % years old.

len Miller, of 420 South Marquette
street. Carpenter died as the train
pulled into Albuquerque and Mr..
Jolly, who was taken Immediately
TO the Santa Fe hospital, died at
1880 last night, Mr. Jolly's wife is
ill in a hospital in Gallup. His sis
ter, Mrs. Ben Gooch, SIS North
Eleventh street, knew nothing of
the accident until last evening,
The accident was witnessed by
Mrs. d. B. Whitesides, of Blue
water, who said that there were
some cars standing on the track
and that probably the men could
not see the train. The crossing was
a private one; the main road being
in bad condition, the driver of the
car had avoided the regular cross
ing. The fireman of the train re-
ported that he had seen the Ford
coming, that 1t was going very
slowly and that he thought it would
not attempt to cross. The car was
struck between the wheels and
completely demolished.
The Carpenter brothers were
seeking homesteads near Blue
water. Mr.. Jolly was between SO
and 60 years of age.

VALVE PATENTED
BY LOCAL NAN
WILL SAVE FUEL
Rotary Arrangement Is Be-
ing Constructed Into En-
CINE Here; To Try 1t On
Automobile Too.

A rotary valve, for gas or in
tcrnal combustion engines. has
been patented by Hugh T. Outer,
manager of the shop department
of the Quickel Auto and Supply
ccmpanf The application was
filed June %, 1920. and granted
March 8. 1921.
The rotary valve is said to pro-
duce a higher efficiency, reducing
the cost of operation and resulting
in more silent motor. Mr.. Outer
is building the valve into a sta
tionary engine and later expects to
apply the principle to an automo-
bile motor for the purpose Of test
ing it. If successful, he says, the
valve will be used to greatest ad-
vantage in tractors
The difficulty now is in breaking
UP fuel when it goes into the CYL
inder, particularly because fuel to-
day is not as high grade as 1t was
10 years ago. Despite this fast, he
savs, there have. been few improve
ments in valve construction. Mr..
Outer is using a system OF con-
Quoting the gas around the eN-
haust where it is heated and va
pQri2ed.
