Something to

Z VEEYTHING In nature Is moving

n forward direction, carrying us away
from the yesterdays to new dawnings
and new days.

Of the earth in Its prescribed orbit,
the rising and the setting of the sun,
the coming and the going OF the sea.

WHAT A WOMAN DID

TT SEEMS probable that cancer, one
a Of the most deadly Of the enemies
Of mankind, will soon be conquered by
the use OF radlum.
Since the beginning Of time this ele-
iHent has existed In nature For the
last score or more of years the pres
ence of some unseen but powerful
force has been suspected. Scientists
sought 10 discover what II was. but
sought In vain, TIL quiet little Polish
woman, after years OF laborlous exper-
iment, discovered II.
That woman should have made
this dlscovery-one Of the most notable
In all hlstory--ls highly important.
II disproves forever the old conten.
tion that there is any difference be-
tween The brain Of man and that OF
a woman.
The highest concentration, the great
est reasoning power. the most indom.
liable determination were required for
the years OF work which had TO be done
before this discovery could be made.
A man stumbles on gold mine or n
diamond deposit by accident. But 10
ind metal which exists In the most
minute quantities, and which must be
extracted by Infinite pains from the sur.
rounding elements, has to be located
rrst, and laborlously separated after
ward.
Countless experiments entered into
Nine. Curle's work, and only re-
markable human being could have
brought II to successful conclusion.
Much Is yet 10 be done before the
power OF radlum over cancer can be
thoroughly tested.
But this can be left TO others, as the
consolidation OF captured position In
war can be left to subordlnates after
brilliant general has won an engage
ment.
Nine. Curle has set an example. not
only for her OWL sex, but for all the
gearchers for truth In the world.
Her achievement Is an inspiration.
and probably TO the end OF time, will
be an Inspiration TO the whole world

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS


T IKE many other expressions
IL which, at first glance, ap-
pear to belong to the slang of a
very recent period, He's a
brick" dates back to the days OF
ancient history, Plutarch being
authority for the statement that
Lycurgus used II In connection
with the defense OF Sparta.
The story goes that Lycurgus,
being man of few words, was
asked whether Sparta should he
lnclosed with walls, and replied:
"That city is well fortified
which has a wall Of men Instead
OF brick"
Another historical allusIon OF
the same nature was made when
an ambassador from Eplrus, on
a diplomatic mission. was shown
by the king of Sparta over his
capital. The ambassador was
amazed to see that the city was
apparently unfortifed and re-
marked about the matter.
Indeed replied the king.
"Thou canst not have looked
carefully. Come with me tomor-
row and will show you the
walls Of Sparta"
On the following morning the
king led his guest out upon the
plains, where his army was
drawn up In full battle force.
There, pointing proudly to the
solid battalions OF armed men.
he exclaimed: Thou beholdest
the walls of Sparta-every man
of them a brick |"
The antiquity Of the express
sion in English may be gathered
from the fact that the Ingoldsby
Legends contain the following
cOuplet:
I'm brief. I don't stick TO declare
Father Dick.
So they called him for short, was
regular brick"

AFTER LAYING AN EGG Cd

ri HE statement that there Is dl.
= rect connection between the cac-
Killing of hen and the laughter of a
person who is pleased may sound
strange, bur II is nevertheless true.
The human animal-man-g gives vent
90 series of sounds originating in
his throat when something causes him
pleasure. These sounds we character
ize as laughter" Very much the
same process takes place when hen
lays an egg. The presence Of the egg
in the body Of the hen causes the bird
some discomfort. When this Is re
lieved, she is naturally pleased and
announces her pleasure to the world
by u species Of laughter Of JOY which
we have termed "cacklng."
II we remember that many persons
"ChucAle' when they are pleased the
relationship between the laughter of
human beings and the cackllng or
hens becomes even more apparent and
il should be borne In mind that every
living thing expresses It's pleasure in
some animate and usually vocal man

chatter, birds chirp or sing, children

OIL N

The present attempt of politicians
to find out what it costs to produce
a barrel of oil is a whole lot like try
ing to find out what it costs to pro-
duce a winning race horse. You might
drill a hundred oil wells and neve,
get but one producer. You might
breed ten thousand ace horses anc
e get but n worlds champion.
Yet one great gusher or one MAJ
O. War might make you apparently
rich, when as a matter of fact the
money spent in finding the gusher OF
developing the horse would offset the
reward secured.
Oil production is a business apart
from oil refining: The refinery buys
the oil just as the creamery buys the
cream from the farmer. The price of
crude oil or gasoline is established
purely by the law of supply and de-
mand just as the price of butter or
milk.
The price at which a barrel of crude
oil or a can of milk sells is no criterion
of the cost of procuring these articles.
1t merely shows the demand which
exists for them.
Crude oil production and accumulat.
ed stock is the greatest in the United
States today that it has ever been
Therefore, it is a drug on the market
and the price drops.
The problem of the present case is
simple. The supply of crude oil has
increased faster than the demand
while the demand for gasoline has
been increasing at an unheard of rate
but not sufficiently to utilize the rec.
ord flow of crude oil.
A million barrels of crude oil might
glut the market while 1OO, 900 barrels
of gasoline would bring a premium.
Figure it any way you want, the
law of supply and demand finally sets
the price and always will.

CONFERENCE FOR
PROHIBITION DIRECTORS

Acting Federal Prohibition Director
John H. Metcalf states that Commits
sioner Haynes has instituted a series
OF conferences of directors and other
enforcement officials in various sec
lions of the country to discuss num-
erous problems and map out plans for
solution, and a conference will soon
be held in this state. Several such
conferences have already been held
and matters of vital concern to the
public has been considered.
Among the problems on which ac-
ton is to be taken is that of rubbing
compounds, which through bootleg
channels have caused many deaths. An
alyses of several hundred gallons of
seized product revealed quantities of
concentrated lye, an excessive amount
of which remained in the compound
even after rehabilitation. Conspiracy
sections of the Volstead Act will be
evoked against cereal beverage manu-
facturers who inject such rubbing
compound into so-called "near beer"
Recent conferences have resulted in
recommendations that retail sales of
Jamaica ginger be limited to one fluid
ounce, and exposure of an alleged
German fake preparation reputed to
produce wine, champagne and brandy;
also the successful suppression of a
fraud to hoodwink the public with So

ufacture and transportation of indus
trial or denatured alcohol. The men
will be taught the difference in vari-
cites of alcohol and it is believed that
violations of this nature will be great
ly lessened.
A signal victory for enforcement
was the recent announcement by a
leading vaudeville circuit that per-
formers would not be allowed to make
humorous reference to the 18th amend
ment. Commissioner Haynes is elat-
ed that within so short a space of
time such splendid compliance with a
request made by him upon assuming
his duties a little over a year ago has
been secured, and that editorial and
news writer's, ~cartoonists, reporters,
scenario writer's, playwrights and per-
formers are lending every aid to law
enforcement, thus sounding the pro-
hibition joke death knell.
Over 10000 convictions for violation
of the 18th amendment have been alb
tanned in federal courts throughout
the country during the past year,
showing that courts and juries are
displaying an improved attitude.
In the opinion of Commissioner
Haynes the most effective weapon in
the hands of enforcement officials is
the paddock" provision which provides
that a place may be closed as a nu-
isance. This provision is being en-
forced throughout the country, some
of the most notorious resorts being af-
fected by it's operation.
Conferences will discuss the pro-
posal made by certain directors that

reporter that he was confident that

the state would be found when the
Bowdoin field was properly tested and
stated that his company intended car

could be procured to warrant them

violate the prohibition laws, as we'll

be sent to police departments all over

aid materially in suppressing boot
