TALKING Movies Possible.

Though speaking films were first
made about 1909, their combination
with picture films has just been sue
cessfully accomplished for the first
time. by two Swedish scientists, and
the talking movie seems about to be-
come reality. The method, says

of the property of selenlum for con-
trolling a telephone current when nc

novelty Of this latest work seems to
be In the successful combining of
picture-bearing and sound-record-bear-
Ing films by running them on the
same shaft, while tnking and reproduc-

NEW ROAD TESTS AT PITTsBURC-

What promises to be the most import
ant investigation of road material and
construction yet undertaken, will be in
stituted at Pittsburg, California, by the U.
S. Bureau of Public Roads, These tests
will be based on results of previous in
vestigations at Pittsburg and on the Bates
road tests in Illinois, which are now near
ing completion.
Several new sections will be studied in
the new Pittsburg test. These will in
clude asphaltic concrete designs and also
precast slabs of concrete.
The direct comparison of hydraulic con-
crete and black base construction will no
doubt bring out many interesting facts
concerning these much discussed types of
hard-surface pavements.
The necessity for shock absorbig road
base has become more apparent every day
as rigid base construction is crystalized
and destroyed under impact of traffic
It is probably for this reason that the gov
eminent is adding asphaltic concrete de-
signs of pavement in the Pittsburg test
which originally included only concrete.

A boy on q bicycle whizzed around
a corner and knocked woman down.
She must have been built of something
more durable than bones, for before
the boy could right his wheel and get
of It she had scrambled to her feet,
and, seeing his intention of first aid,
remarked:
THANK you, son, I'm real obliged"
The youngster was awful sorry, and
was saying so, In the honest way
boy has, when she interrupted.
That's all right This makes the

HAVE NOT tanned LIGHTNING
Expression 10 Common Since Frank.
line Famous Experiment, but
Il is Not Accurate.

When we wish to speak figurativeiy
of our achievements In electricity we
are accustomed to boast that we have
tanned the lightning" or something OF
the kind. But In reality we have done
no such thing. Lightning Is we'll
known natural electrical phenomenon !;
but the electricity that we use Is
drawn from another source-it was
"tame" to start with. To catch a
lightning discharge and reduce its
voltage so that 1t may be utilized is
different matter. 1t may be sug-
gested that the result might not be
worth the trouble.
Ever since Franklin's famous kite
was sent upon Its flight certain OPP
timistic individuals have thought
that this pretty experiment was the
key to untold power and wealth. The
tumult caused by severe thunder
storm has evidently led them to be-
lieve that vast quantities of electricity
are tumbllng about In the upper air,
and to render these available to man
needs only some method Of tapping
the invisible reservoir. Now 1t has
been said that the quantity of electric
ity taking part In flash of light
ming could be collected on a thimble ;
but the handling and restraining Of
this thmbleful of electricity present
a problem which few electrical engi-
neers would care to undertake. 1t Is
great achievement to use the water at
Niagara to drive a dynamo; but most
of us would hesitate at the thought Of
employing a stream of rifle bullets for
the same purpose.

TRUE MAN NEWBERRY-

Senator Newberry has resigned from the
senate, for the reason that partisan and
malignant attacks upon him were assured
for the next congress, and he was conf
dent that his usefulness to the people of
Michigan would be lost thereby. He has
the satisfaction of knowing that he did
not leave his seat under fire. During his
four years in the senate it was determined
by the United States supreme court that
the law under which he was convicted in
the Michigan court was unconstitutional,
and the senate also confirmed the result of
the vote which declared him elected SEN
atOr Newberry was indicated of any
wrong doing under the law, which salts
fed his own conscience and should be sat-
isfactory to the intelligence of every fair
minded man. 1t was apparent, however
that future votes on his case would be
governed very little by the evidence in the
case, but more by the vindictive cry of
"Newberryism" fostered by the Democrats
and radicals. Under the constitution, the
senate is the sole judge of the qualifca-
lions OF its members, without any restric-
ton, legal or moral. Regardless of the
merits of his case, it was evident that Sen
ator Newberry would receive an adverse
vote if he kept his seat and went through
another contest. His resignation is an
other act of patriotism to his credit, and
casts no reflection whatever upon his in
tegrity or ability.

SHIP SALVAGE SOLD ABROAD

The purchasers of the wooden fleet of
the Shipping Board are intending to sell
much of the salvaged material from those
vessels abroad Especially is that true of
the engines. Germany is building scores
of new merchant ships, and it is under
stood the turbines and triple expansion
engines in the American ships are entirely
suitable for their propulsion. No fault can
be found on that score. The salvagers
have the right to sell their material wher-
ever they can get the most favorable
prices, but the incident serves to en-
phasize the need for encouragement of
our own merchant marine. Germany is
not the only country that is making serious
bids for ocean trade, and it is up to the
United States to take steps Immediately
to meet that competition. The ship sub
sidy bill now pending in congress is the
remedy agreed upon by those who have an
expert knowledge of the situation. Presi-
dent Harding urges its early enactment
and it will be among the first measures to
receive attention from the present session.

COAL SUBSTITUTE INCREASING

Another coal strike is already threat
ened next April when coal mine agree
ments will again expire.
The continued warfare in the coal
mines of the country is rapidly increasing
the development of hydro-electric prop
critics and the use of electricity. Also it
is developing the use of kerosene stoves
and oil burners of various kind for use in
every household.
The public is thoroughly tired of con-
tinual coal strikes with periodical short
age of coal and resulting higher prices
which the people must pay. Oil and
electricity, after once being installed will
displace coal permanently due to their in
creased convenience and economy.
The artificial gas industry can cope with
the coal situation better than the individ-
ual as this industry can lay in large sup
plies or operate its own coal mines at a
minimum figure.
Every advance made in the use of oil,
electricity and gas for household and in
dustrial purposes relieves the country that
much from the disasters following pro-
longed coal strike.

GAME IN ARCTIC ABUNDANT
Hunters Have Had the Best Season
They Have Enjoyed for the
Last Twenty Years.

According to mail advices from
Nome, Alaska, this Is the periodic year
of abundant wild animal life in the
Arctic regions.
Early winter, with tremendously
large ice foes In the Behring sea.
gave the natives of Kutsebue sound
the most profitable polar bear hunting
In 20 years. More of these animals
have been shot or killed to date than
for many years combined. Only in
exceptionally severe winters does this
nomad of the Arctic abound so far
south. Accordingly Northwest Alas
kans prepared for long, cold winter.
. The white king of the northern
regions Is combined hunters sailor
hobo. He has no fixed habitat. but
goes where game is most plentiful,
coming down with the Ice pack from
the North when the seal, walrus and
whale move.
Unlike any other animal. the polar
bear keeps to the ice. and will seek
shore only when cut of from open
water. 1t Is the best swimmer of the
animal world. Loose jointed. un-
calmly, silly looking. with skin that
fits badly, the creature Is, however,
very fleet footed.
No game laws will ever guard the
great polar bear. for he lives in a
region little frequented by human
beings and keeps entirely out of sight.
Every 20 years or oftener severe
winter will induce them to travel 1000
miles southwark and thus become the
victims of the long-distance rifles of
the hunters.

Value Of Mans Structure,

A chemist analyzing the chemical
composition of the human body COM
putes its value at SO cents.
Fat for soapmal1ing, iron to make a
nail, lime for whitcwash, a spcck Of
sulphur, a small quantity Of sugar and
infnitesimal quantities of rarer and
more expensive chemicals might be
recovered from the body of the aver
age man.
From time to time it is helpful to
get this sort of an estimate. It
checks an overplus of human egotism.
But it doesn't tell more than frac-
ton Of the story-even from the view
point Of the chemist
If the carbon of tie mans bones
were in the form of diamond instead
of the boncback of the laboratory test
tube it's value would be multiplied a
thousand fold. If the iron alone were
made into dclicately tempered watch
springs instead of into crude nail it
would be worth many times the 98-
cent valuation of the body.
And so it goes with other elements
that make man. It isn't the raw ma
terial value that counts. It is the re-
finements and combination that make
man more valuable than the mud from
which Mr. Bryan says he was derived.
