Vested Sunbeuns

TuIE RAREST and most valuable thing in the
world is that scintillating but impalpable ex-
erection of the cerebral cortex known as a bright
idea" declares DIR. Edwin Slosson.
There are in any generation only a few ounces
or at the most pounds of grey matter sufficiently
active to give off this brilliant emanation- Yet
a large part, and probably the most valuable part
OF what is produced by the activity of this thin
grey film which covers certain brains, is lost for a
Tune and in some cases forever through the care
lessness of contemporaries. There is no form of
conservation that is so important as the conserva-
%tribution which is more important than the getting
OF Information of the right sort to the right people
at the right time.
That much abused word conservation has two
meanings, totally opposite. Conservation in some
cases means using and conservation in other cases
fmeans not using. The Legislator with his agate
bearing tongue viii talk of the conservation of
our coal and water power Just as though the two
things were alike and required the same treatment.
1t is Just as absurd as if n man should ask n paint
er TO have his house painted "the color of snow
and ink" for the conservation of coal means saving
it. for what is not used today will be of use to
morrow. The conservation Of water power, on the
contrary means using it, for what is not used today
viii be lost forever.
The greatest waste is our failure to utilize, not
our carelessness in methods of utilization. We
waste 80 per cent of our petroleum through IRA
,tional and competitive drilling. We waste wothird
Iof our coal before its energy gets into the engine.
but We waste all of the sunshine that falls unon
our arid region lands. and that means a greater
loss of energy than we get from all our oil and coal.
The richest region in the United States is Death
Valley, California Even the green leaves are not
able to catch and incorporate more than L per cent
of the power of the sunshine that falls upon them.
If some one would invent 4 solar engine with an
efficiency of even . per cent it would add incalcul-
ably to the wealth of the country through the utii.
ization of the wasted suubeams that fall upon our
arid land. Or, to put the scat snert in n reversed
form we arc losing year by year incalculable
wealth for the lack of a sun-power of some sort
Here is n prize bigger than any grasped by coal
kings and oil mngnates. But nobody has ono for
ward TO claim it. Yet very likely the knowledge
necessary to achieve this supreme triumph of chem
ical engineering is already in existence-some
power in the world to solve the problem if it were
set to work at it. We are all of us the poorer be
cause of this waste of ideas and inventive genius.

Colonel James McCrae, a Canadian, sore-smitten
and soon to die, felt forebodings that after all their
many would, as usual, get the best of it, and wrote
that mforgettable poem, "In Flanders Fields" If
the sword the dead left to the living were aban-
doned to the German,
We shall not sleep, though peoples lie

"'To Kipling that evil day has come. The sword
has been surrendered to Germany and Russia. The
British dead do not sleep under the poppies in
Flanders fields. The Kings of England and the
Belgians journey over the dead, o 5000 here, 500,

Not Real Sentiment

PEFERRING to the fact that at a recent meet
IL ing the New Jersey Bankers association passed
resolutions asking President Harding to reap
point Governor Harding as governor of the fed.
eral reserve board, a New Jersey banker of the
highest standing, writes, according to the Manu-?
%facturers Record as follows:
Nobody felt like saying much about it. I was
temporarily out of the conference at the time. The
vote was a very feeble one of not more than ten
or fifteen out of the three or four hundred peo-
pie there, and 1 know it was not favored by the ma
jority of those present"
Here is a specific statement that a majority of
New Jersey bankers attending the convention did
not express their honest convictions, but permitted
a SMALL minority to pass a resolution to which
they were opposed, and which yet carries the weight
of the New Jersey Bankers association. We won
der how long the bankers of the country will per
nit. themselves to live in this kind of mental slav-
cry.
This. scheme, is now being vigorously worked
wherever bankers meet and few bankers in these
conventions have the courage to get up in meet
ing and oppose this effort to railroad through these
resolutions commencing Governor Harding for re-
appointment. Fortunately for the country Presi-
dent Harding will probably use his own good com
mon sense in the matter and appraise these r~csolu,

board are afraid to oppose this movement They
state 1t will be n bad business policy to raise oppo.
sition to it. Many of the bankers unhesitatingly
state, We are in the Lions mouth and it would be
worse than foolish to make him mad
"This movement is even on a wider sweep. II
takes in conventions of various organizations ma
tionwide. You will find that efforts will be made
to get the endorsement of conventions of various
kinds. Governor Harding recently addressed, as you
know, the convention of the dry goods people al
Birmingham, and stated that agriculture was back
on its feet much earlier than was expected, and
that all that was necessary was to advertise and
send out representatives.
@At the annual meeting of the American Cotton
Manufacturers association at Washington next
week an effort viii be made to quietly get through
a resolution endorsing the policy of the federal re
serve and incidentally Governor Harding.
IA number of the largest journals in the nation
are behind this movement 1t is being backed by
the geratest financiers. I cannot think that Presi
dent Harding will ~reappoint Governor Harding
but those who expect Governor Harding to quietl,
give up will have a rude awakening"

For Public Good

THE SON of the late Henry P. Dawson of New
IL York has chosen a political career in preference
to membership in the firm of j. P. Morgan where
his father was SO prominent The elder Dawson
impressed on his son, by both precept and practice
the facts that money is not everything, and that
It is the duty Of young men who have the opportu-
nifty to devote as much of their time rs possible to
the public service. Young Mr.. Dawson is possessed
of a comfortable fortune, but instead of applying
himself to increasing it he win devote his talents
to more aItruistic purposes. He is furnishing an
example that may well be followed by other young
men of character and education.

To Keep Ideal Weight

A commonly used rule to lind the
ideal weight is to take the number OF
inches above five feet, multiply this
by 5h and add no. This gives the
weight in pounds.
For example, II you S feet
6 inches in your stocking feet, multi
ply the 6 inches by 5h and you get
SO; add to this ITO and you have your
ideal weight, 143 pounds. If you meas
ure less than 5 feet, multiply the num-
Der of inches under 6 feet by 81 and
subtract the result from no. To sup
ply the body needs there must be a
iproperly balanced diet The ideal food
mixture consists of protein. 10 per
cent: fats, 25 per cent, and carbo-
hydrates, IS per cent. In addition to
these elements there must be provided
mineral matter, vftamines and water
The chief food is protein. 1t builds
tissues and repairs waste The frame

meat, in milk. fowl and fish, and in

PASSES AWAY
Death Comes Following
Long Illness-M asons in
Charge at Funeral

Charles William Harvey, aged
76, died Monday morning at the
Lady of Lourdes hospital in Pasco,
following a long illness. Funeral
services were conducted at two
o'clock Tuesday afternoon at the
Mueller Parlors with the Kenne-
wick Masonic Lodge in charge. A
short funeral sermon was deliver
ed by Rev. F. L. Fraser. The
full ritualistic ceremonies Of the
Masonic order were used in the
services.
Mr.. Harvey was born October
IA, 1856, at volga City, Iowa. At
the age Of II he moved to SYRIA
cuse, Nebraska where December %
1880, he married Mary A. Metzgar.
To them were born eleven children,
ten Of whom are living. They are
Durward A. Harvey, Aberdeen,
Wash, Mrs. C. G. Bennett and
Mrs. C. A. Bennett, Of Hartford,
South Dakota, Walter L. Harvey,
Great Falls, Montana. Adgar G..
Harvey, Geraldine, Montana; Mrs.
J. w. Scott, Bradley, So. Dakota;
Carl O. Harvey, Beaumont, CAL;
DR.. w. w. Harvey, Sioux Falls, S.
D. and Miss Mary D. and John
Harvey, of Kennewick. In adj
dition to his widow and ten child
rem he is survived by eighteen
grandchildren and three sisters
and one brother.
Mr.. Harvey came to Kennewick
about two years ago from Mon
tana in the hope that change OF
climate would be beneficial to his
health. In spite Of the fact that
much of the time since coming
here he has been confined to his
home he made many friends, es-
pecially an Il. the members of the
local Masonic lodge.
He was a member Of the Con-
gregational church and the Ma
sonic and Eastern Star orders.
