Question of Who Was Right in Civil

Years.

Fl Paso, Tex. June J@A eon-
tfovefsy OF 6i years standing over
war has been settled At Clint. near
here, without any aid from Washing
ton. In fact. the Washington peace
eoniefees knew nothing about the
dispute al Clint and the eoniefees a,
Clint had bu, slight inkling OF the
jamboree at Washington, although
both had iar-reaehing effect.
The Clint controversy began with
the civil war and the "eonterees."
both aged women and twins. never
separated for more than few days at
time, could never agree on whether
the north or south was right in tina,
conflict. The husband OF one served
with the union army and the husband
OF the other was in the southern
army.
The Clint twins are Mrs. Mae
Peake and Mrs. Bell Billings, 50.
Since birth they have lived together,
before their marriage. while their
husbands were fighting during the
civil war and afterwards. They got
along we'll together. both say, until
this war came along. and then they
had their first dispute. And while
they have always been sis,erly apd al
iectiona,e, there were times when
they almost decided il was best TO
live apart, and the deaths OF their
husbands. 10 and Is years ago, Jailed

Decide to Bury Hatchet.
The twins were born at Camden,
Me-. in January OF 1889, went to
keokuk, la, in 1854. and few
years later to Missouri. The family
name was Tarbell. Mae Tarbell
married DR.. w. Peake, Virginian.
Bell Tarbell married at the same
time John Billings. a Connecticut
man. Naturally Virginia and Con-
necticut could not see the war in the
same light, so Peake joined the
southern and Billings the northern
army. leaving the: twins at home.
The wives took up their husbands
cause, Mae championing the south
end Bell the north, and they have
been championing thus for the last
81 years. Mrs. Peake. the spryer OF
the two. acted as spokesman and
told OF the decision to bury the

In the oven until it Is slightly warm,
using a spoon to stir and expose it to

How Bio is an EIectron?

One very noteworthy experiment in
measuring an electron was performed
by an American, Professor Millikan of
Chicago. He introduced a minute drop
of oil of about 1-10,000th inch in diam
eter in a chamber between two plates
whose electrical charge was subject to
control. The drop of oil was strongly
illuminated and was viewed with a
telescope. By controlling the poten-
tiafs of the plates the oil drop could
be made to fall or rise at will. The
drop continually picked up and lost
electrons. AS it picked up an electron it
would move toward the positive plate.
By carefully observing the action of the
drop of oil, Millikan was able to deter
mine very accurately the charge added
20 1t by it's picking up one electron.

RAGGED

FRIENDSHIP, the most sacred Of
all moral bonds, Is never appreci-
ated at its full worth until by some
unlocked for snap of its golden moor
ings it takes fright and flies away.
In the excitement of the moment,
the loss may not be keenly felt, but
as the years ride by in their swift
chariots, lines mark the face and
strands of silver streak the hair,
there comes to the loser an mex
pressible sense of loneliness which
sharply reminds him or her of the
glorious sun that has set behind the
purple hills.
A friendship which multiplied joys
and divided sorrows is gone forever.
AS you repeat this word gone" In
the night when you are alone, and
again in the morning and at inter-
walls through the day, it comes upon
you with a new and terrible meaning.

SUN DUST is A "RADIO NET"
London Professor Evolves Novel The
DRY Of the Atmospheric
Envelope.

Electrified dust thrown off by the
sun forms an atmospheric envelope
about the earth about 100 miles which
prevents wireless waves from escaping
into infinite space, according to Prof.
J. A. Fleming, University college, Lon
don, whose work in wireless is known
nll over the world.
The screen made by the dust, he
sas,s, acts as a sort Of wireless speak
ing tube and enables waves used for
long-distance work-which are about
ten miles in length-to travel 5000 and
$1,000 miles.
If it were not for that screen, ac-
cording to the professors theory, the.
wireless energy thrown out by the
big sending towers would not cling
to the earth, but would pass away
and be lost.

Look at your remaining years as

Ten years wisely employed at any

TIPS FOR FANS

A meeting of representatives
of stations within 800 meters of
New York and New Jersey was
called to prevent radio Jam"
in the air. Some of the sweet
things that come through must
have gummed up the ether.
For use across the secondary
of a tuner, such as the honey
comb coils, s a condenser of
twenty-three plates or less. The
less capacity used In the sec
ondary circuit, the better will
the set work.
If, after wiring up a set, you
hear nothing but a steady hum
in the receivers, you may be
very sure that there Is an open
circuit somewhere. Trace out
the wiring carefully and some
little fault will present itself.

prove the appearance 100 per
cent and reduce the danger of
short circuits.
More and more are the radio
fans turning to radio-frequency
application instead of audio-
frequency. The chief reason for
this lies In the fact that in
radio-frequency ampliication the
incoming signals are ampliied
before they reach the detector,
where they are rectifed, while
in audio-frequency they are am
plified after reaching the de-
tector. In the first method sig
nails that are very weak are
brought in, whereas in the lat
ter method they would probably
not be heard.

of will, you find in your grief that
you cannot do it.
Pride scores as dictator.
Like a beggar you sup on It's dry
crusts, and go to bed night after
night with an ache in your heart
and a sting in your conscience.
Yet you keep going crookedly
about the byways and highways of
life and continue year after year the
ragged practice of unbending your
neck or curving your lips with a
friendly smile.
1t no longer matters so much how
your behavior appears to the glar-
ing eyes of the world, so you per-
sist stubbornly to air your pride and
flout it in public places, dropping
daily a little lower from the high
ideals so sacred to you in the peace
full, hallowed days of friendship.
In the background of every pic
ture depicting human unhappiness
you will find an ugly blur of color
quite at variance with the rules of
harmony, caused by a slip of the
tongue or q squirt of passionate anger
between two persons, communities or
nations.
II you will study the blur intently,
you will find that 1t is the evil thing
that destroys peace and strews
battlefelds with rivulets of blood.

him or her the best of which pure

TEN YEARS

ITO THE boy Of eight, ten years is
= an eternity. Ter years ago he
had no existence. Ten years more
and he will be a man in stature
a size that seems to him far beyond
attainment.
To the boy Of twenty-one, ten
years, while not a lifetime, is a
long stretch ahead.
At the end of the coming ten years
he will be well on his way to wher-
ever he is going, success or failure.
If he could understand just how
much those ten years mean, just
what can be done with them, just
what they will yield if rightly cult
waited, there would be far less
trouble and distress in the world.
To the man of forty, ten years are
ten years which must not be wasted.
The next ten years are his best, as
far as productivity is concerned. If
he has not made the last ten years
count, he still has a chance with the
next ten.
