JUDGE SLATE DEFEATED

John G. Slate, of Jefferson City,
Democrat, one of the most widely
known Circuit Judges in Missouri,
was defeated for reelection by Henry
j. Westhues, Republican, Prosecuting
Attorney of Cole county, by plural
ity estimated between 500 and GOO
votes.
Slate achieved considerable newspa-
per mention when he sent newspa-
per reporter to Jail for contempt for
refusing to tell where he obtained
published information about an in
dictment.
Slate again figured prominently in
the public eye when he fined two As
sistant Attorneys General for con-
tempt during an alteration growing
out of the admissibility of evidence
in a case concerning alleged graft
growing out of grand jury inquiry.
The Supreme Court did not sustain
him in the imposition of fine. Lee
B. Ewing of Nevada and Shrader
Howell of Kansas City, then Assist
ant Attorneys General in Attorney
General Frank w. McAllister's Of
flee, were the states counsel declared
in contempt by Slate.

Apple Trees In Parkways.

In Flossmoor, ILL.,, apple trees were
planted in the pathways when the sub
division was laid out years ago. The
trees have been neglected both as to
spraying and pruning, but they have
grown well and are now bearing.
When the suburb is built up the home
owners will be able to take care of
the trees and reap harvest each year
from their parkway space.
While the ornamental value Of an
apple tree in such a place may be
open to debate, there is no question
about its being superior to the Car
olina poplars which most subdi-
viders plant, and the apple trees ought
II be better selling point. They are
good for 30 years, and begin to bear
fruit just about the time the Caro-
lima poplar is ready to cut down.

COLONEL GREEN A RADIO FAN
paratus at His Home In
New Bedford.

Round Hills, the country home OF
late Hetty Green, at New Bedford,
Mass. sounds like a haunted estate
since It's owner has been bitten by the
radio bug, says the New York World.
In the sun room of the house stock
quotations, weather reports. music and
ing station there. In the boathouse
come the booming tones Of the ampll-
fer.
That's all there is now, but Colonel
Green has not done yet. Within few
days. his new slx-room studio, housing
the most complete broadcasting sta.
tlon In the country, will be nnished.
Colonel Green is not enjoying his
radio pleasures alone. The first try
out Of his truck was made few days
ago, and II went rolling about the
nelghborhood reeling of concerts and
talk from Newark and Schenectady
for the delighted farmers.
But the amplfer is the colonel's
pet. This Is just such a machine as
was used to make President Hardlng's
inaugural address audible to the 1885,
900 gathered about the capitol. At
Round Hills the sound win be plainly
heard over n radius os five miles.
ANYBODY who has a set of two
good ears has all the required recelv-
| Ing apparatus" the colonel says. I'm
50 interested in this thing that
haven't time for anything else. I'm
like child with new toy, who can't
be induced to put It down."

ROCK MAPLE FIRST CHOICE
Good Reasons for Its Being the Fa-
vorite Tree for Streets Of the
Small Town.

Roughly speaking. trees are used for
one Of three purposes. The first,
street planting, is that which is most
apt to come within our ken. Ere
quently, especially In new towns and
developments" certain trees are to
be planted along certain streets; and
householders are asked to do their
Bit by purchasing and setting out
trees to stand before their homes. The
selection is generally made by COM
mittee, often upon a slight knowledge
Of the subject, based, perhaps, upon
other paintings which have been made
elsewhere under their observation,
perhaps not particularly successful
paintings. The argument is that one
must have something, and as there are
not so very many kinds of trees one
must stick to those one has seen, since
anything out of the common probably
will not grow. And so the decision is
made.
This method Of selection, perhaps,
may account for the widespread plant
Ing Of the rock maple In, American
small-town streets. The choice of this
tree Is one against which the tree low
er should, and the tree knower will,
protest. The rock maple is not par
ticularly fast growing. II is awkward
In its habit, and Is brittle and frail.
1t is not as decorative as many of its
sturder brethren, and when SO many
better trees may be had at no greater
trouble and expense, its popularity is
difficult to understand.
For streets there Is no tree superior
to the Norway maple. With its SYM
metrical form and luxuriant foliage,
which turns so beautiful In the fall.
no other maple surpasses 1t. 1t grows
with fair rapidlty and 1t Is sturdy and
resistant.-Amella Hill in Art and

ROAD ;
BUILDING
CLEAN MATERIALS FOR ROAD
Builder Gets Perfect Concrete Aggre-
gates Along Route Of Job by
Ingenious Method.

Elimination of the long haul with
the assurance at the same time that
sand and gravel used In concrete road
construction would be thoroughly clean
and free from organic impurities was
achieved in an ingenious and economic
manner on a section OF the Denver
Morrison highway. Comparatively shall
low deposits OF both required compo-
nents of the aggregate TO be used In
mixing this concrete were discovered
in the bed of small stream which
flowed within q quarter of a mile of
the Job.
ine contractor determined to utilize
this natural deposit rather than incur
the expense and loss of time incident
to purchase or preparation of the ag-
gregates in town and consequent long
haul to the mixer. AS IL was necessary
to wash and screen his aggregates as
well as to elevate for loading into
trucks, the contractor decided to at
tempt these operations all In one
move II possible.
Accordingly he obtained a six-inch
centrifugal pump and about 800 feet
of slx-lnch iron pipe. A small sump or
pit was excavated in the bed Of the
stream and the intake Of the centrifu-
gal pump was laid in this pit. The
bottom of this pit was below the level
Of the ground water in the gravel bar
or bed of the creek. The pump took
in water, sand and pebbles as large as
three inches In diameter from this
sump and delivered them through the
discharge line which was approx.
mately 700 feet in length to fiat
screen on top of the bins.
The supply Of sand and stone In the
sump was continuously renewed by
means of horse-drawn slip scrapers.
A screen composed Of fiat bars was
placed across the top Of the sump to
eliminate intake of oversize stones
which could not be handled by the
pump. At the end of the delivery line,
the water, sand and stone were dis
charged upon fiat screen having
, square three-eighths of an inch mesh
opening. The water and sand, Ci

ROAD MAINTENANCE TRUCK

A hlghway-maintenance truck, de-

1t carries a concrete mixer and COM

and air tank which can be used for
driving a rock drill for road work, or
can be used In connection with wa
ter-supply tank as a spraying outfit

There Is also a centrifugal pump
which can be USED for filling the water

cult and adjust the resistance and ca.
shows the same reading. The value
Of the resistance In the phantom cir.
cult Is the approximate antenna re-
slstance at that wave length This
method Of measuring the antenna re-
sistance is by no means accurate,
but will serve as value from which
comparative data can be obtained. BY
plotting curve representing the an
tenna resistance at different wave
lengths II is possible 10 determine
whether the antenna being used has
its minimum resistance at the wave
length on which the transmitting Is
done.
Perhaps by changing the physical
dimensions OF the antenna the mini
mum resistance can be shifted to the
wave length on which It Is desired to
transmit.
II counterpolse is not used, the
effect on the antenna resistance can
readily be measured, approximately,
by erecting temporary one and
measuring the antenna resistance be
fore and after the erection. Again II
Is well to plot curve showing the
relation between the wave length and
antenna resistance.
In no case will the curve showing
the relation between wave-length and
antenna resistance be smooth. Don't
allow bumps In the curve to lead one
astray. The absorption OF energy by
some nearby object will cause the
antenna resistance at certain wave
lengths to show fictitiously high wave
lengths.

PROPER CARE OF
new AUTOMOBILE
Much Trouble Can Be Traced to
Neglect in Making ADJUST
mentS Essential to Start.
DRIVER OFTEN IS CARELESS
Owner Should Start His Motoring Ca
reer With Fixed Idea That His
Car Is Piece Of Machinery
Requiring Attention.

The life OF an automobile depends
considerably upon the care which II
receives. Most of the motor-car trouble
can be traced to putting off adjust
ments that can be regularly attended
to. Carelessness of the owner has
been the cause In many cases hence
he is to blame for the short service Of
his car.
Begin Care With Purchase.
Proper care of the car should begin
with the purchase. Right then the
owner should start his motoring ca
reer with the fixed idea that his auto
mobile is a piece Of machinery, sub
ject to wear and requiring Just as
much attention as you would bestow
on a dynamo, a grandfather's clock or
radio outfit.
Keeping this in mind Will offset
the common impression that many
motorists possess. Not few drivers
have sentimental thoughts concern
ing their cars, believing that they VIII
always stand up without proper at
tention. such men are usually dis
llusioned just when the service of
their car means most to them.
Regular attention and care pro
longs the service of the car to a vastly
greater extent than periodical com
plete overhaullngs. Get the habit OF
inspecting your car before making a
trip, Just the same as the far-slghted
horseman will rub his hand over his
animal before mounting.
Inspect Vital Parts.
A glance under the hood with the
motor running, attention TO any SOUND
not In tune, measurement of gas
water and oil, test of the wires auC
tires will be well worth the slight de
lay In starting. Such an Inspection
OF vital parts will offset unnecessar,
annoyances and greater delay later OIL
the trip.
The motorist should study the com
plete instruction book as supplied h!n
| by the manufactures In order that h'
will know the. proper care of oil th'
! parts OF his car. AS he becomes ia
miliar with as many parts as possible
he will fully realize that service rest
primarily upon the attention the ca
| receives
