EASY JOB FOR CLOCKw1NpER

The late Charles B. Selden whose name va.
much before the public few years ago in con-
nection with litigation over automobile patents
was greatly interested in the question of possible
utilization OF the energy of radium and its
allied elements. He brought to this country
from England a clock, constructed exper,.
mentally by a distinguished British physicist
which was designed to for a thousand years
more without winding.
This clock is altogether unlike any mechan-
ism ever previously constructed. Its pectaritv
consists in the presence Of a minute particle OF
radium at the bottom Of tube the radiations
from which impinge on two thin leaves Of
metal that hang parallel until they begin 70

influence of the so-caed alpha rays. which. as
you very likely know, in reality molecules

As the metal leaves become charged they
mutually repel each other, until finally they
stand out in opposition directions and come in
contact with metal electrodes, thereby complet.
ing an electrical circuit and discharging their
accumulated electricity. They then drop back
under the influence Of gravitaton, and the
process Of recharging begins
theoretically. the radiatons from the radium
would be unmodified by any conditions with
which we familiar, and the discharge of the
metal leaves would take place with unvarylng
regularity. 1t even suggested that this
clock would be the most nearly perfect time.

But in reality, the leaves were observed to vary

sale Sales Tax.

7 SAAC BACHARACH, Con.
gresham from New Jersey
q and a member of the Ways
and Means Committee of the
House, told the Atlantic City Real
Estate Board:
The sales tax has been tried
and found successful in twelve
countries, and in seventeen
American States. If accepted
generally, it would substantially
reduce the country's debts and
stimulate business everywhere.
After a careful study and
analysis of the situation, and
based on my experience in and
out of Congress, I believe the
tax that would be the easiest
to collect would be the manu-
facturers or wholesale sales
tax. Such a tax at a rate of 1
per cent, even in these trying
times, would raise approximate.
ly $500,000, 900. and the substi-
tuition of such a tax, with a re-
duction in the surtax schedule,
would, to my way of thinking,
be an important factor in the
revival Of business.

Serving a
Great Cause
THERE are two ways for
i great newspaper to serve

THERE are two ways tor a
great newspaper to serve a
y great cause in which its
heart and its judgment are en-
listed.
One way is to use its columns,
both local and editorial, in un-
ceasing advocacy Of the merits
and in publicity to the claims of
the cause itself.
Another way is to send its army
of agents and workers out into the
highways and byways of the land
and gather up the opinions, the
judgments, the wishes of the great
body of the people of the country,
and to present these opinions in
concrete form for the considera-
ton of the lawmakers.
Both Of these agencies the
Hearst newspapers have invoked
most earnestly in behalf OF the
American soldier.
If it be possible for the law
givers of our land at Washington
to be moved by argument in be-
half of the Bonus and its Sales
Tax corollary, then the argument,
the reason, the appeal have been
pressed upon Congressional brains
and hearts for a hundred days.
If our law-givers are impervi-
ous to argument or appeal, then
the vast and supposedly ire
sistible power of public opinion
has been invoked.
A petition on behalf of the
Bonus, signed by 100000 Ameri-
can names, was presented by the
Hearst newspapers to Congress
May 2.
A second petition signed by
100000 other American names
will be presented to Congress
soon.

CHE sobbed, but knew he would return,
- Though hers had been the blame;

The secret of the game?
Hes gone, but he'll come back" she sighed
How proud he seemed to be
But he will put away his pride,
And humbly come to me-"

III For man is fashioned so;
Forgetting all his pride, he stood
Before her, bending low.
Reluctantly, or so he thought,
She let her kiss be won,
And gently pardoned him for what
She knew he had not done.
CHE trusted all things to his care
~ When he had pleaded long,
Though from the first she was aware
That she was "for him strong"
The day when she assumed his name
Was beautiful and bright,
And he believed that springtme came
To add to her delight.
DERHAPS you think that he forgot,
i As men so often do,
Or that he found that she was not
Without fault or two.
If it were thus, this little tale
Were better left untold;
But, happily, she does not fail
To fool him, as Of old.

ECRETARY OF STATE
- HUGHES put a big, sane,
~ clear -visioned philosophy into
a few sentences when he said:
Peace cannot be secured by
forms of words or declarations,
or by any formal procedure
where the spirit of peace is alb
sent. There is only one cure
for the present disorders of the
world. Face the facts; deal
with causes and not symptoms;
establish the basis of confidence
in respect for life, property and
contract. Credit does not pre-
cede but follows confidence; and
the first requirement of those
who demand justice and Sc
curity is to give justice and
security.
This is not idle, perfumed, hot
air oratory. 1t is an anvil chorus
Of wisdom, concentrated common
sense. Each pounding sentence
sounds its own note. The whole
combines into the music of in
spiration.
These words do not constitute a
plan nor a program, but they do
sound the clarion note of the
right attitude, the only sane way
to solve the problems of the in
dividual, of society, of the nation,
or of the world.
