BRIEF MENTION

Pictures were flashed from Ital-
ian to American battleships by wire
less recently in a test off the coast
of Italy. The Italian navy has pur-
chased the inventors method and
transmission apparatus and is plan
ming to install machines on navy
vessels.
Soldering is an expiring profess
sion in Germany. Many former
army officers are doing mental
work. Dorshkies, takes and other
horse-drawn vehicles in German
cites are being driven by former
commissioned officers. Common
soldiers in the ranks are faring bet
ter than their officers. Thousands
of soldiers turned to agriculture
and trades for a living, but the Of
ficers, wha had made a career of
the army, had no other training to
make livelihood.
The latest thing in counterfits is
a green diamond. The peculiar tint
Of the genuine gem is said to have
been copied successfully by the use
Of radium, and large white stones
of the cheaper quality afford the
material on which to work. For
tunately, the smaller gems do not
allow enough profit to warrant
treatment, and it is only the
wealthy who can afford to buy
those that are large enough.

come floating down from the glac-
iers Of Greeland, coastguard service

berg is found the vessels wireless its
presence to the boats of all nations
in the vicinity. The cost of the
patrol is borne by all the maritime
nations using the Atlantic in pro-
portion to the number of ships sail
ing under the respective flags.

years by the department of Agri-
culture, according to w. A. Wheeler,
in charge of the departments radis

effect in extending knowledge of
market conditions, and will in
evitably contribute much toward a

COYOTE THAT WAS RAB1D
BIT SMALL TONOPAH BOY

TONOPAH.-A corrected report
on the head of the coyote killed in
Tonopah was received Saturday
proving conclusively that the animal
was rabid. The first report, through
blunder Of the telegram, read
partly rabid." DIR. J. G. Cowden
returned the message as unintel-
ligible, and received a second ex-
planning that the reading should
have been positively rabid." A

also received, and Anrando Colucini,

KANSAS BACK
TO SANITY

Whether the sarcasm Of the edi-
tors of the middle west had its ef-
feet, or whether plain common sense
came to the rescue of the authori-
ties Of Kansas, the decision Of the
attorney general of that state that
dances may be held in schools with
the consent Of boards saves Kansas
from the extreme Of an absurdity.
Possibly the jealous fight waged by
the woman superintendent Of state
education to remove tobacco smok-
ing members Of the teaching force
on all levels, and her arbitrary revo-
cation of a teachers certificate for
allowing a dance in a country
school, was the first intimation the
people as q whole had Of the ex-
istence of laws providing for such
removals.
Now that the attorney general
has stopped the operation Of the
law on those points the next best
thing would be a repeal Of the
ridiculous measure. Prosecuting
men teachers for using tobacco and
women teachers for INDUCING in .
neighborhood social dance il too
close to the witch-hunting spirit to
be tolerated in a progressive state
in modern times. Kansas win be
better without an educational ad-
ministration which cannot function
with men who like . smoke and
women who like an occasional in
formal dance after teaching hours.

WORLD RADIUM SUPPLY
SOON TO BE INCREASED

PARIS.-Indication that the
worlds supply Of radium will soon
be increased and that the price of
the precious element will soon be
correspondingly lowered, is sug-
gested by reports of uranium, from
which radium is extracted, have
been discovered in Switzerland, and
that the expectation of radioactive
minerals from Madagascar is to be
increased.

MEASURING REAL
VALUES

The dean of the college Of en-
cheering, University Of Cincinnati,
SO the story runs, received letter
from the president of large cor
poration manufacturing electrical
supplies, complimenting the institu-
ton for turning out such students
as George Sperti. The name meant
nothing to the dean, SO he went
among the engineering college pro-
fessors and soon discovered that
George Sperti is "a hopeless dull
lard, who is fiunking in everything. /"
He was so far below the standard
as measured by modern intellectual
appraisement procedures that he
was considered only as one Of that
large field beaten before the race
begins.
Then the dean wrote to the
electrical corporation president ask
ing his object in sending his COM
pliments to the university in the
Sperti case, SO the story continues
to move, and in due course re-
ceived the information that the cor
poration had just bought for $780,
600 an entirely new type Of cleo
trical meter invented and patented
by the hopeless dullard."
The question would seem to be
whether it may not be better to
weigh values by the practical re-
suits of a young mans use Of his
brains than the verdict Of a pedanic

SHIP SUBSIDY
NEEDED

The practical reasons for a ship
subsidy bill are not hard to find.
The government now owns about
1,400 ships, two-thirds of the entire
American merchant marine. A
thousand Of them are idle, and their
maintenance is very costly. In
operating the other 400, the govern
ment is losing about $50,000,000 a
year. It is the intention of the
administration to sell the vessels to
private operators, but none will buy
because they cannot Afford to own
and operate American ships under
present conditions. The remedy is
the subsidy bill now pending in
Congress.

cial.) The state democratic conven-

Persons Entombed Will
Be Saved
BY Associated Press

Jackson, Cal, September 5.-Some
time Thursday the 46 imprisoned min
ers in the Argonaut mine will be
reached, it is generally expected here
today. 1t also is believed that some.
at least. of the men who were trapped
underground by fire and falling
rock nine days ago are still alive, as
a report yesterday that answering
signals had been heard by a member
of one of the rescuing crews was fol-
lowed by others in the same tenor to-
day.
The rescue crew working from the
3, 600-foot level of the adjoining Ken
nedy mine toward the Argonaut, fin
ished a detour around a virgin rock
obstruction and today reached one of
the old tunnels connecting the two
mines.
After trayersing 5s5 feet of this
tunnel, the rescue crew will be ready
to cut upwards 10 feet to the 1900
foot level of the Argonaut.
The other rescue crew, working
from the 3,900-foot level of the KEN
ntdy mine, who have something more
than 100 feet Of old tunnel to clear
out first. will then cut through 141.7
feet of rock.

Brandon Already on Ground
and Comforting With Friends.
All Rooms at Hotels Now

BY FRED IA GORMLEY
Montgomery Bureau Tho Age Herald,
221-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, September 5.-(Spe-
cial. )-Judge w. w. Brandon Of Tus-
caloosa, governor designate, joined
the vanguard in Montgomery today
for the first state democratic conven-
ton in 10 years which will be opened
at the Grand theatre at l o'clock
Thursday afternoon. Judge Brandon
was on the ground early and held
various conferences with his sup
porters. Other prominent citizens
who will be delegates to the conven-
ton began arriving during the day,
and by night large number were in
the city. All rooms at the hotels
have been reserved and those who
have made no reservations will be
forced to find quarters in private
homes and boarding houses.
Although the convention viii be
composed of only 342 democrats, 1t is
probable that 1900 persons will be
here for the convention. Interest Is
great because the party has not had
a convention since 1912 and because
there are large number of subjects
which must be included in the plat
form and several which have been in
the platform adopted in 1912 must be
eliminated as obsolete and inoper-
alive.
Judge Brandon's friends are insist
ing that the convention adopt plat
form in line with the platform pro-
mulgated by Judge Brandon in his
uccessful campaign for governor.
There is every indication that a great
majority of the delegates will be in
favor Of this proposal as they were
elected on platforms quite similar to
Judge Brandon's.
