 A motion for new triaIswas denied, but an attorney announced he would appeal 10 the State supreme court on the grrund that death by lethal gas is "cruel or unusual punishment, prohib- ited by the Nevada constitution" The prison board has not yet prcvid- ed a cell and apparatus for use in the lethal gas execution required under the new State law. The statute provides that the exact day Of execution is left to the discretion of the prison warden, who is to put the prisoner in the lethal chamber for several days and turn on the gas some night while the condemned man is asleep.

'Sdperphone,' New In- yention, Assures Pri-
 vacy in Phone Talks

Washington.-Th ''superphone, an apparently simple attachment for tele- phones, which is said to assure absolute secrecy of communication and security from interruptions and make possible multiplex telephony, was demonstrated Tuesday in the office of the chief signal officer of the army. IL was shown that one telephone line to which super phones' were attached could be used for number of conversations simul- saneously and that no pair of speakers could hear or interrupt another pair.
 The invention, signal corps officials pointed out, was obviously of great 7alue for military purposes in case 0! war. because Of it's assurance of secret communication. zt would be of hardly ess value, they said, to business men. bankers and others to~whom It was de- sirable to have complete and assured privasy in confidential channels of con- nunications.

Races of Giants Unknown.

Are the stories true that races of giants have existed on this earth in the past?
 There is no reliable record that any such races of tall men ever lived on the earth. Single individuals of great height are occasionally found in coun- tries throughout the world. There is proof that during the past century a native of Finlapd was found who was 9feet inches in height. Such cases are exceptional Unusual height is the result of abnormal development. Some have taken It as a sign that there once was very tall race. But. judging by all reliable past history and by ancient skeletons that have been examined in many parts of the world, there has never been race of people that av- eraged feet in height. The Scotch of Gallo way arc the tallest now known They average 5 feet II inches.-Cur- rent Events.

THE PRESENT EDUCATIONAL

The vote cast by Lieut. Governor
Ballard, which disposed of the anti
educational bill, was one of the wisest
votes cast by anyone during the pres.

been just where we were in education

superintendents would be electe !
again on the old basis, and public
schools would continue to suffer from
the same political ailments that have
long kept them feeble in Kentucky.
But the present law, which is good
and progressive, stands, and we may
hope for improvement, both in its ad-
and in the results which
it will bring.
Kentucky is to be congratulated
on sending to the Senate the seven
teen men who voted against the meas
ure from the first, and on having a
Lieut. Governor who was brave
enough to cast the 18th vote that
killed the bill.
These men deserve the commenda-
ton of every citizen of the Common.

The Four Power Treaty between
England, France, Japan and the Uni
ted States is open to attack in the
Senate at the same point that the
Treaty of Versailles was in the IA
nous Article X. In this new treaty
Article ii provides that in case the
insular possessions of any of the
four powers are attacked the nations
shall confer to see what means are
to be used in the emergency. Should
the agreement be that force was nee
essary, could it be used by the Uni.
ted States without the consent Of
Congress Mr.. Harding said that
such consent would be necessary and
was implied. A reservation to that
effect has been prepared and will
probably be brought forward in the
senate as was cone in case of the

A curious and interesting question
has arisen out Of a request made by
the Governor of North Carolina for
the extradition of a negro charged
with murder, who escaped to Canada.
In the first place, the State made
the request direct rather than thru
the Federal Government. In the sec.
ond place, the Canadian Government
is not disposed to return the negro
unless a good case can be made
against him and requests what is
equivalent Of trial on Canadian
soil. North Carolina resents this as
a reflection on her courts. What the
attitude of the National Government
viii be has not yet appeared. It is
likely TO be a case that requires deli
cate handling.

World News


The treaty between the United
States and Japan settling the contro-
versy over the island of Yap has
been ratified by the senate. This is
just forerunner of the larger trea-
ties. The island concerned formerly
belonged to Germany and was taken
by Japan during the war. It is so
located as to make it important in
helping or hindering our wireless con-
nection with the Philippines. We
tried at first to get the island, then
agreed to a concession for wireless
plant, and now by the treaty agree to
construct no plant of our own as long
as Japan keeps one up and renders
satisfactory service. The only objec-
ton raised to the treaty was the in
definiteness in regard to the one who
may decide when the service is un-
satisfactory.

England has agreed to withdraw
her protectorate from Egypt which
has existed since 1882. At that time
she put down a rebellion which
threatened to interfere with her
canal interests and decided to remain
in the country until order was en-
sured. Tho urged to withdraw, she
has continued to remain until the
present time. Even now she will not
withdraw until Egypt agrees to give
her right to protect her commune
cation with India in case of need; to
defend Egypt against foreign aggres-
sion and to protect foreign interests
in Egypt. 1t is not assured that
Egypt will agree to these conditions
quickly, and England will stay until
she does.
