THE SOB SISTERS.
By Grace Garfield.
Copyright, 1922. by Wheeler

Syndicate, Inc.)
There fell sudden silence in the
next room, and Mr. Carver, who
had with difficulty kept himself
awake thus far in anticipation of
Just such a silence, looked up sus-
piciously. He rustled the evening
paper nervously as he put it down;
the old morris chair groaned loud
ly as he quilted its cavernous
depths.
Half way to the door of his
daughters room, Mr.. Carver paus-
ed, for the silence was suddenly
broken by a disturbing sound, a
deep, racking rob. 1t was followed
by another, and many more, aud
the unhappy father, himself groan-
ing this time, sank back into the
morris chair, hopping his brow
with something akin to desperation.
For two years now he had been
engaged in the task of bringing up
Molly, and during that period he
had found life rather difficult, a
succession Of problems which call
ed for immediate attention. But no
previous Cash of arms between
father and daughter had been at all
comparable with this one, which
had finally reached the point of the
locked door, and the morris chair
guard.
A week ago Molly had announced
her engagement to Richard Field.
Her father had at once advanced
strenuous objections to the young
man, and war was on. Molly's atti-
tude had been one of open defiance =,
which had been unaffected by any
of the messures which her father
chose to employ. As he sat there
now. listening to those tearing sobs
which still came from the next
room, he wondered whether per-
haps he had not been too hard.
He had overlooked the fact that
twentieth century daughters are not
to be governed by eighteenth CEN
fury methods It did not suffice in
these days to put ones foot down.
Molly had remained unmoved by
threats and promises. And yet Mr.
Carver admitted to himself sheep
ishly that perhaps it had been a
bit unnecessary to shut her up in
hef. room ON q diet of bread and
water!
But Richard Field! The shadow
In the room deepened, and the tor
tured father forgot for q moment
even, those terrible sobs as he tried
vainly to fight OF the spectre which
peered ct him from the dim, ghost
ly corners. It was another Richard
Field that he saw-older and grayer
and sadder.

@. Who was the model for the
Gibson Girl? G. L. c.
A. Charles Dana Gibson says
that in spite of his efforts to make
variety of types by drawing from
many different models, there was
in his case as in SO many others, a
tendency to type. This type was
labeled not by him but by others,
the Gibson Girl. 1t would not be
fair to say that any one model was
responsible.
Q. Does matter mailed to the

Q. Who invented the radiophone?
T. A. W.
A. The National Radio Institute
says that DR.. Lee DeForrest in 1912

ton of the radiophone.

FORD's DREAM.

Henry Ford, Visiting Boston, makes this
startling prediction: Within . few years-I
wouldn't be surprised II it were within fve~ or
six years-we won't be mining coal any more.
Coal will be burned underground. right where
1t Is found, and the by-products utilized. Prob
ably we'll utilize all the gas, too for heat light
and power. Some Of the heat can be utilized,
too. where it is generated under the ground
What heat is wasted BY this method won't be
nearly as important as the waste Of human
energy which results from our present method
Of mining coal, and the waste involved in trans
porting and distributing it,.
Just how Ford would work this dream out
in practical way. he doesn't say. But it is
possible. Then. too. Ford has become an en-
thusiast about white coal'--water power. He
sees the day when even drops of rain will be
transformed into electricity He says the power
going to waste in rain can be estimated by To-
cality's inches OF annual rainfall and the dis
lance the rain drops in making its eventual
way back to sea-lsrel. Part Of this power un-
qusstionably could be chained up. Ford pro-
poses: Collect the water on flat lands during
the winter. Drain 1t of as water power during
- spring. And in the summer you'll have
vsnderfully fertil land for your crops. In the
RAtumn. after the harvest Let the water collect
3ssin."
- This latest dream Of Ford's resulted from
a trip he made the other day int a coal mine.
He went about three miles underground and
found 1t "a terrible place to be In, no At place
for human being to work" More than half
million Americans toll underground to get
coal. In other words to get power Meantime.
tremendous power Is going to waste in falling
water. in the ocean tides, in the wind, In the
suns heat All these will be harnessed some
day. Nature has placed unlimited power II our,

mock ISLAND BEGINS HOUSE
.e,CLEANlNC.

The people og Rock Island county yesterday
had their hrst opportunity,to be heard at the
ballot box on the state Of affairs that has been
Dermitted to prevail through the betrayal OF
Debiic officials. In order to register their pro-
test and accomplish their purpose to punish
officials who refuse to fulfill the trust imposed
Them they transferred the county from the
4ublican to the Democratic column on two
n the most important cfhces. The people
[I1kths county proved that they were big enough
- put aside political affiliations and vote in
TIE interest Of the common welfare.
! The Argus believes the people Of Rock Is
land county adopted the right course yesterday
in electing Clarence Edwards sheriff and Ches-
ter Thompson county treasurer. They are both
young men, free from any alliances that might
hamper them In the guarding of the public in
terests entrusted to them. John Miller defeat
ed the Republican county ticket yesterday be-
cause he refused to choose between law-break-
ing and law and order. George Richmond
courted the same support that Sheriff Miller
was confident was Of sufficient strength to
carry him to victory. Another handicap to

arrangement between Mr.. Richmond >and Mr..
Miller. The people of Rock Island county
plainly indicated they do not endorse perpet-
uity in public Office by professional politicians.
They believe that public Office should be within
reach OF any man qualified for service and
willing to carry out the will of the people
Rock Island county had a house cleaning
yesterday. The city Of Rock Island has cleaned
its streets Of protected vice and lavlessness
The people Of Rock Island will do their house
cleaning at the city hall next spring. Yester:
days vote shows there has been healthy
awakening in Rock island county. The reign
of the protected law-breaker has ceased. The
pesple in future are going to take keener inter-
e. in county elections and they are going to
stfutinize more carefully the records of Off
Gals who may come before them for support
az the polls.

Piaia md Fancy Bronchitis

Plain 1na Fancy Bronc1n1s. I.
Plain nncomplicated chronic bron-
chisis. that il to say annually re-
curring winter cough in elderly
persons, is usually benefited BY re-,
moval to a climate which coaxes
the (nentaliy) aged sufferer to
spend more time In the open air,
say Egypt. southern france. Fio.-
ida or California But in the fancy
kinds of chronic bronchitis NO
marked benefit can be expected
from . change Of climate. unf0r-
tunately most cases OF bronchitis
are of the fancy variety.
Thus chronic bronchitis is most
frequently found in persons who

Emphysema involving any con-
siderable part OF the lung means
that the chest is Oyerdistended, and
usually the individual has . thick
barrel shaped chest, sometimes an
enormous chest but one with very
little elasticity, that is, the indi-
vidual can expand and contract his
chest only an inch or so at best,
whereas a normal chest varies two
Or three inches from contraction
to expansion, sometimes four or
five inches. The emphysematous
lung is constantly overfilled with
air. literally ballooned. The sub
ject of emphysema lacks the power
to exhale freely; he draws in a
breath and then obviously strains
to expire, whereas normal lungs
empty or expire without any mus
cular effort, just through their own
| elasticity. 1t is fact quite beyond
my ken, that in chronic emphysema
the chest wall and the muscles OF
natural or unconscious breathing
, seem to acquire rightly and lose
their normal elasticity, perhaps
from lack of use.
Persons with emphysema wheeze

they have asthma, because they
