SEEK TOO GREAT ACCURACY
Known to Waste Time on un-
necessary Measurements.

There can be too great accuracy. ac-
,ording to Chemical and Metallurgical
engineering. which says:
I'VE recall one instance where q
celebrated engineer was preparing o
set Of tables for publication and was
Using a set Of 12-place logarithms. We
asked why he used 12-place tables and
,e replied that they were the best he
could find, that he had heard there
we're 2O-place tables but he had been
unable to locate them. The interest
ng thing about this anecdote Is that
practically all the data which the cele-
orated engineer was tabulating had
IN accuracy which was seldom better
than 1 per cent. and an ordinary II
inch slide rule would have been amply
accurate for the work.
again, when a young engineer is
about to make a mathematical calcu-
lation, say for example the surface of
heating coils necessary to obtain GER
tain results. he will almost invariably
sit down and calculate 1t to an ac-
curacy of a tenth or even a hundredth
Of l per cent. and this in spite of the
fact that the constant factor In the
equation (the rate of heat transfer)
may not be known within 80 per cent.
Herein lies one excellent reason
why many a practical man with good
common sense and a wide experience
has been able to compete with en-
gineers In many fields"

MURDERS TWO DAUGHTERS
River, Is Alleged Confession of
kansa City Father

Kansas City, MO.-A confession that
he had killed his two daughters and
thrown their bodies into the Missouri
River was made by Tony Dinello, of
Kansas City, Kansas, to Henry I.
thinner, Chief of Police. and several
detectives, the Police Chief annOunc-
ed.
Dinello was arrested after the sec
ond of the bodies had been taken from
Il sand pit near Naploeon, 30 miles
down stream, by a fisherman. The
girls were IL and Is years old.
Dinello's relatives became suspicious
several days ago, when they visited
him and he gave conflicting explana-
tions of the girls absence. About
the same time body was found tied
in sack and although it was not
then identified, it was established that
the girl had been struck on the head.
The second body showed the same kind

SPELLS THAT ARE POTENT
Evidently There Is Something In the
"Medicine" Devised by East
African Witch Doctors

Quite recently a Kikuyu Cast Afri-
CAM had a spell put on him by a witch
doctor. whereby he was compelled to
kill the first man he met. The Kikuyu
went to another witch doctor and had
the spell removed But No. was cute.
He placed a medicine on the Kikuyu's
doorstep so that when the latter
stepped over 1t the spell would be re-
placed.
The Klkuyu came out of his hut
shortly afterward. Immediately ran
amuck, went down the street and
killed the first man he met-anOther
old Kikuyu. The witch doctor and the
murderer both stood their trial and
the witch doctor got the longer SEN
tence.
At a place called Kibos there once
lived an old gentleman who carried
around a monkeys paw STRAPPED to
his finger. Whoever he pointed this
at Immediately fell down stone dead.
He caused so many deaths that he
ultimately had to be removed from
the district by the government.-Lon-

Apples Breathe.

Every living organism. whether AMI
NAL or vegetable. breathes; that Is. Il
absorbs oxygen and gives off carbonic
acid.
Any organism which does not
breathe may be considered dead Now.
ripe apples plucked from apple trees
are not dead They are not so vigor-
ously alive as while the sap ran
through them, but still they are alive.
and so they breathe and absorb oxy-
gen. 1t is found, too. that apples
stored In an atmosphere Of oxygen and
carbonic acid keep twice as well an
apples stored In common air.
No doubt the oxygen stimulates
their respiration and Increases their
vitality, while the carbonic acid serves
as food, provided sufficient light
reaches the chlorophyl in the skin OF
the apple.

Columbus, O.-With a narrow mar

short but spirited debate. The bill

Columbus Using the strategy of
Isolation, combined with the masSins
of overwhelming force. Governor Ilar-
ry l.. Davis, employing the Ohio As
semhly. began his final maneuverS
against recalcitrant Ohio coal Oper-
atorS To compel the fixing of lower
prices for fuel and the surrender of
cooperation.
His purpose is to obtain vote of
absolute power to control prices, seize
mines and regulate distribution and
then renew proposals rejected by fuel
producers. If they once more decline
the suggested basic prices the power
probably will follow. If his renewed
overtureS are accepted legislation ask
ed for today will not be utilized.
This plan was revealed by the bill
drawn by Acknowledgement John G..
Price and fathered by the Governor.
In the first paragraph of the measure
authority is given for the appointment
of State Fuel Administrator with eX-
traordinary powers.
Peculiarly enough, this authority is
made discretionary and not man
datory. In other words, the Governor
is not required to proceed, after the
bill is enacted into law, Immediately
to name this official.
The last paragraph declares the ex-
istence of an unlawful emergency af-
fecting the welfare of the state. and
making it necessary for the erection
of machinery to control the fuel in
duStry without delay to the end that
public health, peace and safety may
be conserved. In effect the first and
last paragraphs of the special meas
