ENROLL NOW

The time for enrolling for the pri-
mary elections is fast slipping by, the
last day being July %. Enrolling of
men and women has been SLOW, accord
ing to reports from secretaries over
the county. The Advertiser believes
that most of the men entitled to vote
will enroll some time before the pri-
mary and that a large number OF wo-
Gmen Will do the same. Yet, the secre-
taries are anxious to have the enroll
ing done now in order to avoid last
minute rush. Out OF consideration of
the enrolling secretaries, we suggest
that enrolling be done at once. We
might remind the women, in addition,
that special provisions will he made
for them Saturday which has been set
apart by the county chairman as La
dies Enrolling Day.

REDUCING cRIAEa

Those who are wont to lay prevalent
cident to appeals of lawyers might
find some food for thought in the 50
appeal decisions handed down by the
state supreme court last week Out
of 80 decisions handed down, it will
be found that there were II revcrsals
of lower courts to 80 appeals sus-
tanned, a rather high average of re-
Versals. With such large number of
reversals of the ldHer courts, it occurs
to us that lawyers can hardly be
blamed for taking their cases higher
up.
Of course, there are many cases
where lawyers take advantage Of the
right of appeal to stay off sentences of
their clients, but it would hardly meet
the ends of justice to restrict the ap-
peal machinery when the rights of
those who have Just cause for appeal
might be endangered.
Instead of trying to Shift the blame
ioi a"lSSSlleSS Oh OlncT SnOQlQorS,
the rublic might take stock of itself
and no doubt it will find that a large
part of the crime that is rampant NAV
be traced back to itself as expressed
in the verdict of juries, the sentences
of judges and the respect which the
criminal enjoys even after his convic-
ton. There was time, for instance
when boot-lcgger would have been
an outcast On society, but today many
of them enjoy considerable respecta-
ibility. They do not suffer the penalty
of disgrace that should attach to de-
liberate law-breaking.
There IS no doubt that crime can be
reduced when the law-abding people
are ready to reduce it. Until they are
willing to take hand themselves and
lend moral support to the executive
and judicial arm Of the law, crime may
be expected to increase or at least hold
its own

DR.. Hans Fleissner. professor ct the

cry thGt by means IF special adapta-
tion of the benzine lamp, explosive
gases can be made to give n warning
to the ear as well as to the eye. Its
outer form corresponds to the ordi-
nary henzine lamp. In the upper part
of the lamp there is n system of tubes

by the arrows in order to reach the

centage of some combustihle gas, the
flame is increased in size in the fa-
mlllar manner and there are also pro
duced vibrations In the narrow glass
tubes within which the flame burns,
which occasion clearly perceptible
sound. In order to make the flame
more sensitive 1t Is surrounded by a
spiral wire. thus forming sort of
Bunsen burner. AS soon as the air
which enters the lamp ceases to con-
tain any inflammable gas. the sound
ceases and the flame assumes Its nor

that the sound is produced only when

The Wicked Judas,

During visit he paid to Oberam-
mergau several years ago the late Mr..
Andrew ID. White, the American dip
lomat, made the acquaintance of the
Judas, whom he described as by far
the best actor in the whole perform
ance. Mr.. White remarked to him
that he ought to have double salary,
rs the Judas had In the miracle plays
of the Middle Ages, when this was
thought due to him as compensation
for the injury done to his character
by his taking that part. AT this the
Oberammergau Judas smiled pleasant
ly, and replied: mo; / am content
to share equally with the others. But
the same feeling toward the Judas still
exists" He then told Mr.. White the
following story. A few weeks be-
fore, while he was working at his
carving bench, the door of his work
shop opened and peasant woman
from the mountains came In, stood
still, and gazed at him intently. On
his asking her what she wanted she
said: II saw you In the play yester-
day. i wished to look at you again.
You look so like my husband. He Is
dead. He, too, was very bad man"

STORE FUTURE FOOD SUPPLY
Woedpecksrs Are Wise 6irds and
Never Take the Chance Of
Finding Lardsr Bare.

California woodpeckers often pass
much of their idle time In the light
occupation of filling holes In tree
trunks with pebbles. When they are
really Industrious, however, they man
ufacture these symmetrical holes and
fill them snugly with acorns. Often
they allow these acorns to remain in
cold storage for several months, and
then, when they need extra rations,
they know where supply can readily
be found. When oaks and pines grow
side BY side, the birds usually favor
the pines as storage trees. This is
probably because it Is only on such
trees that the outer bark presents
suitable surface for drilling the holes.
No living oak trees are used, but dead
oaks, from which the bark has fallen,
are chosen. '~-
The vast number Of such holes that
a single tree trunk can contain may be
inferred from the fact that in 30 feet
of fallen pine tree in the San Jacin-
to mountains of California it was esti-
mated that there were 31,sO0 holes.
Almost without exception, the acorns
are inserted into the holes. The birds
take great pains to hammer them in
securely. They like not only the
acorns, but the grubs that are often
contained in them. AS for the peb-
bles, they must make speciality Of
them when acorns are not in the mar
ket-just to keep themselves In train
ing for handling (or should one say
"billing') the new crop.-St. Nicholas.

BOOKS READ BY TRAVELLERS
Much Difference In Choice Displayed
by First and Second-Class
Ocean Voyaosrs.

The writer of the daily literary
causerie in the New York Evening
Post has had the curiosity to explore
the collections Of books provided by
a steamship for the use Of her passen-
gers. He has always had the theory,
he says, that in these large and lux
urious vessels the second-class library
would be likely to be more in line with
his own tastes than the first-class
library, and his visit to the boat has
confirmed this supposition. In the
second class, for instance there were
more Stevensons-including Treasure
Island" which was not in the first
class collection. He noticed also In
the second-class, but not in the first.
some Charlotte Bronte, Wordsworth,
Tennyson and Oliver Wendell Holmes.
In reply to the question what kind of
books the readers asked for most, the
library steward in the first class an
swered without hesitation: Ninety
per cent WANT detective stories" The
library steward in the second class, on
the other hand, said that, among the
passengers he had to do with, love
stories were most in demand.
