FILTHY LUCRE.

However clean the money that you
handle may seem to be. you are likely
to suspect that it is dirty. You dislike
to think through what hands it may
have passed and in what pockets it may
have reposed.
The report, therefore, of baeteriolo-
gists of the University of Illinois is
more than ordinarily comforting. These
experts have, as it were, given our metal
lie coinage a clean bill of health.
The very metals of which the coins
are made, they report, appear to destroy
the bacteria which lodge upon them
and only the more resistant spore-pro.
ducing types are able long to endure
Coins. they say, are barren pastures for
any germ and the same rule, we are
glad to learn, holds also with paper
money and postage stamps, although
bacteria may linger longer upon thesc
symbols of value.
The psychologists, none the less, d.
admit that there is an element of dan
ger. however slight, in the handling o.
money, and since coins and bills ant
even stamps pass rapidly from hand t.
hand, and so the germs sometimes have
no time to starve before they find new
breeding places. Hence those who fee
like washing their hands after they hav'
handled money may still find their fas
tidiousness worth while.

ICE BAKED" OFF OF WIRES.
Remarkable Stunt by New England
Power Company

In the northwestern part of Massa-
chusetts among the HOosac mountains
is Florida Mt, for years the dread of
motorists because of its steep grades.
la winter heavily coated with snow and
ice its trails become almost impossible.
Over this mountain the New England
Power company have extended wires
connecting Adams with the lower Deer
field valley.
Considering the severity and damage
caused by recent snow and sleet storm,
in which whole communities We're cut off
from light and power, the New England
Power Co, did remarkable piece OF
work TO maintain service, by novel
process of ''bailfAg,' or thawing sleet
upon the lines extending over Florida
at.
These copper lines are parallel circuits
at an elevation of from 1000 to $500
feet above sea level, greater part OF
the 8.3 mile distance. On two previous
occasions they became covered with sleet
measuring from 3 to IL inches IN dl-
ameter. causing considerable trouble and
because of which the " baking process
was evolved The scheme is, roughly, to
take one circuit at time out of service,
short circuit the substation end, and
then apply special voltage until there
is sufficient current flowing in the line
sleet This special voltage is, of course,
operated from an independent machine
so that both voltage and frequency can
be regulated as necessary.
The recent storm started in the Flor
lad Mt, wilderness about ) p. III. Sun
day, November q, 1921. Shortly after
wards, formation of sleet was noted by
the New England Power company oper-
ators and arrangements were made to
apply the baking process. At $50
p. IN. current of $3.50 amperes was APP
piled by special machine to one end OF
the lines which had been taken out OF
service and short Two hours
later the line was completely cleared OF
sleet. An interval of IL hours followed
in which arrangements and transfer OF
the "baking' process TO the second
line was completed, while the hrst was
replaced in service.
The storm was of such proportions
and sleet formed so rapidly that alter
lately throughout the night until $50
4. m. on Monday. when both lines Were
restored to normal service, this "bak-
ing' process was applied, first to one
circuit and then the other.
The result of this novel trial of bak-
ing We're satisfactory in every way.
The storm was unquestionablv the worst
ever experienced on Florida Mt. Other
structures and lines which had success
fully withstood former storms went
down. But Nos! and 10 circuits of the
New England Power Co., bv relaying
each other at intervals defeated the
elements, and maintained public service
without Interruption.

The idea that Guy W. Bailey. former

a good governor of Vermont in 1923 is

quoted as saying that Mr.. Bailey has
decided to be a candidate unless some
thing Unforeseen should happen to
change his mind, but nothing has come
from him personally as yet to that eff

In the DAYS News.

Maurice Donnay, who is coming TO
America to attend the AIoliere tercenten-
airy celebration under the auspices of the
American academy, is a distinguished
dramatist. member Of the Academic Fran
caise, and commander of the Legion of
Honor. NJ Donnay was born in Paris in
1859. His many comedies were greeted
with favor in the more serious theatres
of the Partisan bOulevards, after scoring
successes in the theatres of Montmartre.
He astOnished his audiences with his
knocking disregard for the accepted con-
yentions of dramatic art. His earlier
works had a flavor of melancholy and
satire His heroes and heroines are
ultra-modern. and he is the exponent of
the true Partisan verve. bright and care
free. but always striking the mark true
and with good natured force.

UNsELFTsHNEss IN POLITICS.

Men have never worked for the sole
good of their country" says Mary Gar
rctt Hay, feminist leader Men have
worked for Office and for self-gain and
glory. Women, on the contrary, work
for the best good of their country, and
with that object the League of Women
Voters will continue to be strong po-
litical organization"
Ahem, This is a bit rough on the
men. With their usual modesty, how
ever, men are likely to agree that there
may be something in it, and let it go at
that. g.. .. @
And yet, when a mere man starts
thinking the matter over, he can't help
remembering that George Washington
was a man. and he took office under pro-
test. and laid it down with relief, also
that Abraham Lincoln was man, and
even the feminists have not accused
Lincoln of vainglory and self-seeking.
According to falibIe masculine no
tions. there have been, and are now,
quite few men who seem to be serving
their country or state or city with zeal
and sclf-denial.
At the same time, politics is a nota-
rious foe of modesty We venture to
