ARE DESTROYED BY FRICTION
Why So Few Meteors Reach the Earth
Can Be Explained In q
Simple Manner.

When shooting star" passes
athwart the sky 1t leaves behind q
shining streamer. Astronomers say
that the streamer sometimes remains
visible for Is minutes or more, says
the Kansas City Star. At first the
streamer Is vivid green or scarlet
streak. Presently 1t assumes a snaky
form. becoming more serpentine and
irregular until 1t vanlshes.
Belief Is entertained that the me-
teor leaves behind 1t a tube-shaped
layer Of highly heated air, which ex-
pands and is finally disslpated. The
atmosphere along its track Is electri-
fed by the transit of the celestial pro-
Jectile and is thereby rendered brightly
phosphorescent. Air currents blow the
tube about, producing the snaky effect.
Observations made simultaneously
from stations far apart have proved
that the average meteor when frst
seen Is about so miles above the sur
face Of the earth and disappears from
view at 30 miles. IN other words, II
travels 30 miles before the atmospheric
friction burns 1t up. This friction. II
Is reckoned. raises 1t to a temperature
Of something like 100000 degrees,
SO that. unless Of large size, 1t has no
chance to reach our planet.

WHY.
Flattery Is Easily Swallowed
by Most People

II Ia impossible to tell the whole
truth to an average human being ana
still to remain on terms of friendship
with him. is the opinion Of the New
Statesman, London. There Is little
friendship without make-belleve. II
two men are close friends, you may
take It that they have been pretend
ing to a considerably higher estimate
of each other than they would sci
down In a perfectly honest diary.
It Is not necessary that they should
deliberately lie to one another, but
they must dscreetiy conceal GER
tain amount of the criticism that Is
xoing on all the time behind the bones
of their skulls.
What Is said in a spirit Of truth IL
set down TO malice. Can man be
your friend II he steals the crown from
your head7 Can he be your friend
even II he steals single Jewel from
your crown-especially the paste Jew
ell? We have all-the greatest and
the meanest of us--paste jewels In our
crowns. VIII true friend point them
out to a world that is already over
much inclined to scoff7 Or will he not
rather organize a claque that will pre-
tend to De dazzled by diamonds?
Man Is not only realist. He Is al
SO q lover of romance. He dreams
Of what he would be quite often al
he deplores what he Is. He cannot
help being attracted by people who
make his dream appear true. There
are some men who are such Intense
cyclists that they can believe In the
truth of their dreams without any as
sistancc from other people. Southey
agreed that his "Madoc" was 1.-THE best
English poem since Paradise Lost :"

Why II Pays to Dress Well.

A good appearance Is capital, and
our clothes are an important part Of It.
1t pays to dress well, to wear attrac.
tive clothing of good material. TO buy
cheap material OF any kind is a poor
sort Of economy. 1t gives you poor
service. and 1t doesn't look well. II
will not do you credit and Is not a
good advertisement of yourself and
what you are trying to do.
First Impressions are immensely
valuable. II your dress and bearing
are good. this fact will make people
think well of you. respect you. 1t will
give the impression that you can
finance yourself; that you are doing
well, and this adds to others conf
dence in your business ability.
Not only wear as good clothing as
you can afford. but see that II Is well
kept and well carried. Hold up your
head, throw your shoulders back, look
the world In the face; 90 about among
your fellows as a winner. Show that
you have the courage of your convic.
lions, that you have confidence and
assurance. This will invite prosper
ity and success.-New Success.

not be large one.
Sensible people know perfectly we'll
during all the period of artificial
prosperity, that the high speed could
not last. They prepared for the in
evitable by careful thrift and will not
suffer In q period of temporary dull
ness.
Those who win the big business sue
cesses are those who have faith to go
ahead in quiet times. The tendency
toward depression is always increas-
ed by people who see the dark side Of
! business. Such folks distribute gloom
in chunks. Every one who talks with
them feels like cutting down his en-
terprises and going slow. and as that
policy becomes general It produces
waves of unemployment.
The people who. fear bad business
most tend to produce. bad business
by the communication of their fears.
The morbid and nervous person
makes himself sick by worrying
about his heart and digestion. So a
business community can bring on a
depression by disseminating the blues
This country is the worlds creditor,
1t has abundant crops. and has a
sound banking and currency system.
With such basic conditions. business
can't be bad for any long period.

A PR0TECTIONIST
| DEMOCRAT

Among those who have appealed
to Congress in behalf of a protective
tariff on agricultural products Is
Honorable Jewell Mays, Secretary of
the State Board of Agriculture Of
Missouri. Mr.. Mays is lifelong Demo-
crat and, therefore, his views on the
subject of a protective tariff are Of
particular interest
According to an item in the miner
and Mechanic" of Neosho, Missouri,
Mr. Mays urged particularly upon
Congress stiff protective tariff on
wool. He wants action at the present
session of Congress rather than have
the matter left for the special ses-
sion which will probably be called In
the spring Mr.. Mays says that many
farm products need the benefit of a
protective tariff to shut out competi-
ton from foreign grown ploducts
but, "in the case of wool the situation
is critical and unless some action is
taken at once the farmers of the
United States will sustain great
and irreparable loss" The loss to the
American wool grower has already
been great and to that extent is ir-
reparable. A protective tariff may
lessen the loss In the future but the
wool grower who has sold his wool
or his sheep for less than the cost
OF production has no way of making
up the deficit.
Mr.. Mays is to be commended fol
his frankness in acknowledging the
soundness Of a policy which his party
has consistently opposed. 1t is to be
hoped that he will exercise his in
nuences with his party, IL he shal,
continue on the tariff question. Bet
ter, still. will it be. If he will per-
mainly ally himself with the political
organization which has always. been
sound on the fundamental principles
of tariff for the upbuilding and
permanent maintenance of American
Industries of all kinds.

PROMOTION
PROMOTING

A good many newspapers and BUSH
ness men talk as II the country were
now in period of depression. But the
Federal Reserve Board declares that
the process of readjustment to new
conditions will be accomplished with
far less distress than is usual after
a period of initiation.
Although large numbers of men
have been said to be out Of work. yet

LESS TAXATION
ALL AROUND

1t is passing strange that at time
when taxation is burden on every
one. at a time when public expenses
should be cut to the quick and ex-
travagance wiped out. some of those
in public offices charged with the
duty of administration. instead OF
looking for opportunities to econo-
mize. are advocating both increased
taxation of property already over
taxed and the raising of additional
revenue from new sources.
1t Is time for courageous thought
and action. The people are grooming
under the weight of adversely from
various causes. They are ill-prepared
to stand additional burdens. Incom-
petence and extravaganza in public
office must be eliminated. Not dollar
should be taken from taxpayers
above that required to maintain the
government of the municipality, coun-
ty. state and nation honestly and
economically administered.
Those invested with public authori-
ty from governor to road supervisor
should be made to realize that this
is no time for increased burdens, but
rather that they will be held to strict
account for failure to avail Of every
opportunity to increase efficiency and
reduce the cost of government.
It is said Of the politician that he
is the only animal known to zoology
that can lay both ears to the ground
at the same time. With this advan-
tage let us hope that he will at least
hear il not heed the rumblings OF
discomfort and the appeals for relief
from an over-burdened. populace, be-
wiidered and distressed alike by the
incompetence and extravaganza of
public servants.
The demand of the hour is neither
increased taxation nor new sources
Of revenue, but retrenchment and
economy in public expenditures.

REPUBLICAN
ASCENDENCY

This country was normally Repub-
lican for a period Of AZ years follow
ing the Civil war; Twice a Democrat
ic president was elected during the
period. But during President Cleye-
lands first term the Republicans con-
trolled the senate all the time. Dur
rug mr. OIvv-ianu second term, the
Democrats had congress but two years
Thus. during only two years out of
A., have the Democratic party had
complete control of the government.
There must have been some reason
for this astonishing showing. There
are always reactions in politics, and
popular sentiment Is constantly turn
ing against those in power. One would
think at many of these elections pop
ular dissatisfaction with Republican
mistakes would have let in the Demo-
Gratis for occasional periods.
But for some reason or other, the
Democratic party, with the brief ex-
ceptions noted. has been held down
as a minority party. 1t won in its
4Sth year of exile merely because we
Republicans were split in two. 1t
had little more than third of the
popular vote. And 1t won again, In
1916 by the thinnest kind of squeak,
on the bunk plea that the president

and the people are competent to
choose their own rulers, the fact Of
this striking preference for the Re-
publican party must prove that par
tvs superior fitness to rule. 1t has
met the tests Of experience. AS mat
ter Of practical life. its representa-
tives have shown better judgment,
more sound sense. more business
competence, than their opponents. You
connot account for it any other way
II the Republican party handles
Alright the present situation, 1t should
maintain this control for a long term
of years. 1t has certainly made a good
start.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: | am girl
of nineteen years and have been keep
ing steady company with very nice
young man for over two years. After
| had gone with him for about a year
he asked me to be his wife, but l re-
fused as | did not know whether |
really loved him or not.
A year has elapsed since then and
] find that love him. He has not
asked me since, for when we were
talking about it he said. Any time
you make up your mind pust say the
word and we will be married"
am too reserved to do that. How
shall so about it to make him under
stand that ! really love and want him.
He often speaks OF marriage, but never
asks me outright. ANXIOUS.
The young man is wrong in trying
TO force you TO say that you will marry
him When he sees by your actions
that you love him he ought 10 ask you
again. Be sweet and lovable and wait
for him to say something further. You
are very young ana can afford to
wait.
