REFERENDUM Vote
FAVORS MOVIES"
SATURDAYS ELECTION ESTAB
LISHES RECORD EXPRESS
SENTIMENTS THROUG BALLOT

After the recording of 1927 votes
the largest number of votes ever poll
ed at a Moscow municipal election
the final count showed that 894 were
in favor of moving picture shows on
Sunday afternoon and that S33 were
against. The referendum was close
with those in favor of moving picture
shows on Sunday afternoons winning g
by 81 votes.
Although the election was close and
there was much interest arounsed
there was no bitterness or hard feel
ing and it seems likely that the refer
endum has definitely decided the
question of moving picture shows on
Sunday afternoons in Moscow.
To Present Ordinance
In all probability G. G. Pickett, city
attorney, will present an ordinance,
calling for moving picture shows on
Sunday afternoons from to $50
o'clock, to the city councilmen at their
next regular meeting on Monday night,
April 3. In all probability the city
council will pass the ordinance.
Under the terms of the agreement
with the moving picture theatre man
ayers the Dudley Loomis post of the
American Legion will receive the
profits of the Sunday afternoon shows
for a period of one year. The funds
received will go towards building an
American Legion home in Moscow.
Movies Start April
In the event of the passage of the
ordinance by the city council the
moving picture theatres will be open
for the first time on Sunday after
noon, April 8.
The official question voted upon
was:
"Shall moving picture shows of this
city be permitted to be open for busi-
ness on Sunday afternoons from . to
$50 O'Clock subject to such regula-
tions as may be later prescribed bv the
city council? ?"
The polls at the high school were
kept busy during the entire day or
from 9 in the morning until Z o'clock
at night Judges of the election were
Chris Hagan, A. H. Oversmith and
b. c. Spencer

SPECULATION MAKING
BILLIONAIRES IN RUSSIA

MOscOw-(A. Prussia is money
mad. Almost everybody from the
humblest communist to the erstwhile
aristocrat is thinking, dreaming, talk
ing of money. Public events, life,
death, all else go by the board.
AS the ruble drops dizzily, week by
week, people cease to talk or do
business in millions, as a few months
ago. Now everyone of money conse-
quence is not millionaire but bill
lionaire and soon they will be trillion-
aire. A million rubles lately has been
equivalent to So, a billion to $4,000.
Speculation has reached such pitch
that the cabman speculates on his
fare. To one he charges $4,000 rubles
for ride and to another $780,
600 or 100000, according to his wit
The man, woman, or child who
doesn't get rich in Russia today must
be a fool, indeed. He has but to buy
any article, pair of shoes, a Persian
rug, a lamp, a watch, ring, half
dozen yards of cloth and hold it for
a few days and sell it for twice the
cost.
Women speculate shrewdly and
shrewder than all others are former
countesses and princesses.
Since the government turned the
real estate over to it's occupants, the
rent of apartments and rooms here
has jumped from zero to large sums.
The right to occupy mere room. if
the owner wishes to sell out, runs
from 1O,00O.O00 to 100000 rubles and
and apartments 5O,OO0,000 rubles and
apartments 50,000,000 to 200,000,0 900.
Legally, newcomers are required to
pay nothing but in order to obtain
what they want, they must secretly
subsidize the Soviet house committee.
There is speculation in cloth. Most
of the good cloth now in Russia is
smugg1ed in. A little money is paid
here, there, everywhere, and the cloth
gets in. Then speculation takes place
in it's distribution. in the south of
Russia cloth is cheap, hence 1t must
be transported to the center or north,
where two or three times its cost may
be obtained. If sent to Siberia, the
profit is immense.
Speculation in food is the biggest
affair. An official who controls a pri-
vate cars makes millions moving
flour, fruit, wine to the centers OF
high prices.

SAYS AMERICA MUST
INVEST in FAR EAST

Washington, March 26.-Revival Of
American export trade through Judi
ciOus investment of American capital
in the Orient" was advocated today
by F. P. Eldridge, chief of the far
eastern division of the commerce de-
partment, who has returned to Wash
ington after six months investigation
OF the principal markets in the Far
East for American products.
Mr.. Eldridge visited Yokohoma,
Shanghai, Korea, and Manchurian
centers, Hongkong, Canton and Sing
apore, then the Malay states, Burma,
Bombay and Madras
Industrial development of the Far
East" Mr. Eldridge said sis neces-
sary to any extensive revival of the
demand for American products"
The Orient, he said depended on
European capital for years, and has
been without any source of capital
since the armistice due to the de-
moralization of European finances.
American commerce could be best
promoted, he said, by prudent invest
ments in Oriental industries, which
would create a demand for American
machinery and raise the standards of
the people to a demand for higher
grade goods and products such as
made in the United States.
Business conditions throughout
the Orient Mr.. Eldridge said, "re-
fleet the world depression, particu-
larly as European and American
markets for Oriental raw products
are in many cases so depressed as to
leave the market prices below the
cost of production"

ELDER PREPARES
Mines PAMPHLET
IN FLOTATION'S
PAPER ISSUED BY IDAHO STATE
MINES BUREAU

F'lotation Pamphlet No. L. written
by Robert B. Elder, instructor in
metallurgy in the University of Idaho
school of mines, recently issued by
the Idaho state bureau of mines and
geology, bears the title 'fInterfacial
Tension Measurements and Some APP
plications to Flotation." AS the name
indicates the bulletin is highly scien-
tific but many useful suggestions re
garding flotation processes are re
vealed by Mr.. Elder.
Surface tension IS one of the most
important forces in flotation. Every
one is familiar with the experiment of
needle floating on the surface of
liquid when carefully placed thereon.
This is due to the resistance which
the surface of the liquid offers to the
sinking of the needle. The liquid be-
havveS as though it had a film or an
elastic skin upon it.
Caused By Interface
Such surface as this is of course,
one of contact between the air and
the water, and is referred to as an
~Interface'' or face between n'-tllat
is, between the air proper and the
water proper. 1t is particularly with
the measurement of the strength of
this interface, and of the modification
OF 1CS SJfonSIn Dy reason OF certain
contaminants that Mr.. Elders
pamphlet deals.
The discussion is replete with
mathematical formulae which would
of coure be Greek" to the ordinary
millman or flotation operator, and
yet it is interesting to note that out
of all this high-brow discussion there
comes a very practical and useful
suggestion.
Solve failing FIOtation
1t has been found, for instance, that
the accumulation of tailings in the
bed of the South Fork of the Occur
d'Alene River; cannot be satisfactor-
lily treated by fIotation, owing to the
presence therein of certain organic
substances derived from sewage and
the like, deposited further up the
river
Mr.. Elder, as the result of his
theoretical discussion, concluded that
these harmful contaminants could be
removed by a pre-treatment in de-
contamination in which air is bubbled
up through the pulp. This was found
to be the case, and after such treat
ment, it was found that the recovery
in the treatment of the Coeur d'Alene
tailings was decidedly better, than
was possible without this treatment,
Thus is vindica tion found once more
of the doctrine laid down by the great
TyndaIl, 'sthe science of today is the
practice of tomorrow

In 1913 Fuad I, the new king of
Egypt, was an unsuccessful candidate
FOR the Albanian throne, after having
been colonel Of artillery in the Italian
army. When he became sultan of
Egypt his role under the protectorate
Of England was not always easy to
maintain.
One day a messenger of the British
Resident. asked him to sign an ordi-
nance against the Egyptian national
lists. He refused. And the messenger
Of the Resident signified to him with
the utmost courtesy:
Il shall then to my regret have to
arrest and imprison your highness."
Permit me-" replied Fuad Pasha,

reflect"
A few minutes later Fuad came
back In the uniform of an Italian
colonel
He was not arrested.

Something to

In whatever position you may be,
there should be no reluctance to- make
a fair exchange in which measure for

That you should make fashion of
doing this encourages others who are
taking note of you to do likewise.
They find through experience that
there comes with continued actions of
this kind an inexpressible 1gladness
which fills their hearts with friend

with sunny complacency.
There are no pleasurable expert

the while of their own.
You cannot feel the balmy air of

That you should waste your days in

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
QUARANTINE"

THE origin Of a term Of 40
= days-a "quarantine"-as a
sanitary precaution against the
spread of various diseases is lost
In the dim mazes Of early ORR
entail history. Forty days was
the period devoted In ancient
times to the burial Of the dead.
The spies Of the Israelites spent
40 days In Canaan before they
submitted the report. Jonah
gave the residents Of Nineweh 40
days in which to consider his
prophecy and repent. Christ,
Moses and Elijah each tasted for
40 days-the Christian observ-
ance of Lent being commemor-
alton Of the most notable Of
these. Under William the Con-
queror no man was permitted to
remain In England more than
40 days without paying a tax
Of some kind, while under the
Magma Charta 1t Is provided that
widow shall remain 40 days
In the house of her deceased
husband before being allotted
her dowry.
The modern sanitary adapta-
ton Of the quarantine was es-
tablished by the French along
the Mediterranean In order to
prevent the Introduction OF
plague from the eastern coun-
tries, but apparently the only
reason for the arbitrary setting
Of such "time is that 1t forms
