WASHLNGTON'S BIRTHDAY

Today will be observed all over
the United States as the annlver-
sary of the birth Of America S
greatest son. Volumes have been
written on the life OF George
Washington, and as the years so
OH their number will increase. 1t
is of course difficult to add any
thing to what has already been
said, but were we to attempt to
accentuate some phase OF Wash
ingtons character, ii would be to
call attention to his wonderful
balance. Few men have attained
his prominence in history who
have not been more or less er-
ratio, with vices or irregularities
as pronounced as their virtues. 1t
is this perfection Of Wcll-round-
edness that prevents any startling
trait or quality from showing his
true elevation above his fellow
men. This is rare in the makeup
Of individuals, and the most no
ticeable other instance, perhaps,
occurs in the case OF Shakespeare.
With no eccentricity, no exaggera-
ton Of personal quality or idi-
osyncracy, his life was passed
among his contemporaries almost
unnoticed, except by the favored
few whose vocatlonS made them
his intimates. Washington's case
was different, i'll that being a sol
der and d statesman, his deeds
were visible and affected his coun-
try in their immediate reaction.
But it is difficult for foreigners
to appraisc him, even yet, at his
true worth. Carlyle, one OF the
greatest historians of the 10Th
century, never did understand
Washington, probably because he
was the one modern man OF his
type. His analogy can only be
found III the semi-legcndary fig
ureS OF ancient Greece and Rome.
Oh all great Americans Wash
ington is the most essentially
American. So proud. SO indepen-
dent are we, so far as he is con-
cerned, that we arc indifferent to
the opinions of the rest OF the
world. But each succeeding gen
Grafton widcns his lame and his
deathless glory. We have read
that his portrait is to be found in
the remotest hamlets OF almost in
accessible wildernesses. He is the
accepted symbol, and his name the
synonym Of human liberty the
world over.

SEN, PEPPER
SEES END OF
COAL STRIKE
Negotiations Resumed Under
Better Promise of Settle
ment than Ever Before
ISSUES A STATEMENT
Hard Coal Operators Expected
to Determine Whether They
Had ''Public Mandate"

Philadelphia, Sept. 2.-Prediction
by United States Senator Pepper that
the anthracite mine suspension will
be settled today and general express
sions of belief among close observers
of the situation that before night re-
sumption of the Joint peace negotia-
tions between union leaders and mine
operators is likely, marked the be-
ginning of the 155th day of the strug-
gle.
"While the strike is not "a, in
as far as the actual mining of coal
is concerned" said Senator Pepper,
"the tendency appears to me to be
favorable to an early adjustment"
He had hopes, he continued, based
upon his contact yesterday with both
sides, that when the operators met
again today, their unanimity of SEN
timent, combined with that of the
miners, would result in a speedy set
tlement.
The hard coal operators were ex-
pected to determine at their meeting
today whether they have had the
"publc mandate which they demand
ed in their statement of Thursday"
Whether the mine leaders also were
to meet among themselves today had
not been definitely ascertained, but
it was planned they would.

Unique Freak Tornado Does
Some Damage Near St.

St. Cloud, Mimi, Sept. 2.-The ter
rifying spectacle Of an approaching
tornado was witnessed for fully ff-
teen minutes last evening between
five and six o'clock by hundreds of
farmers in the townships of Meier
Grove and Getty, Stearns county.
Only once did the twister strike the
ground and then it wrecked every
building except a solid brick house
on the farm of Frank Schmissing
and destroyed the buildings on the
Henry Kampsen farm. No one was
injured, but three horses picked up
in a pasture by the twister were so
badly hurt they had to be killed. The
tornado travelled in the air distance
estimated between eight and twelve
miles. All the time the sun was
shining brightly.

FEDERAL GENTS
FIND LARGE
BOOZE RING
Minneapolis Blueing Company
Raided by Prohibition Of
ficers.-Get 100 Barrels
(By the Associated Press)

Chicago, Sept. "A bootlegging
ring described as one of the largest
uncovered since prohibition went in
to effect was disclosed today by l.
e. Mutt, association director of pro-
hibition for the Central states, to
have been disclosed. He asserted that
raid had been made on the Min
neapolis Blueing company at Min
neapolis, which he said was the lar
gest concern involved in the inves-
tigation and various other concerns
and individuals.
A great increase recently in the
sale. of denatured alcohol and alco-
holic preparations had caused an in
quiry which had shown that hund-
red barrel consignments of dena-
tured alcohol were being obtained by
the Minnesota Blpeing Company per-
iodically.
Redistribution, Col. Mutt declared,
was the means by which bootleg
ging of alcohol was being carried
or in widely separated places. The
raid on the Minneapolis concern,
Col. Mutt said, resulted in the seiz-
urc of 100 barrels of RECLAIMED
whisky" which, he asserted, had
been made from denatured alcohol.
Numerous other concerns and
persons whose names were not d.
vulged were said to be involved in
the inquiry.
Four men also were taken in GUS
tody at the Minneapolis concerns
plant, Col. Mutt said. He gave
names as Harry Barnett, Sam Kos
erhaus, Lotus Gluckman and Harry
Stein.

MAY CALL GENERAL STRIKE
POWER BY RADIO!~
BY CHARLES r. STEINMETZ.
Noted Electrical Wizard.

There may be time when power
to turn the wheels of industry will
be furnished by radio.
In some respects sacso power trans
mission exists today, for the message
you receive by radio has been car
ried by the power of electromagnetic
waves from the sending to the receiv-
ing station.
The problem of .-ower transmission
essentially differs from that of the
transmission for communication in
that in power transmission most, or
at least a large part, of the power
sent out by the generation station
must arrive at the receiving station
to make it economical to transmit
the power.
Hence the problem of radio power
transmission is that of directing the
radio waves so closely that large
part of their power remains together,
so as to be picked up by the receiy-
ing station. Much successful work
has been done in directing radio
waves. For instance, our transatlan-
tic stations send out most of their
power eastward. Eut still, Een as
directed, the power scatters over the
coasts of Europe from Norway to
Spain, SO that it is impossible to pick
up an appreciable part of it.
The second possibility of radio
power transmission-at least tbeo-
retically--is by resonant vibration or
standing waves. H.
A station tuned for the same wave
length as the sending station woul,.
resonate with the standing electro
magnetic wave issuing from the send
ing station. thereby stopping it's pas
sage by absorbing its energy. 1t
would, as we may say, punch hole
in the standing wave sheet coming
from the sending station:
Power would then flow into this
hole. The sending station would be-
gin to send out additional power to
maintain the wave.
