now as the job of SELLING the nresi-
dent to the country" Our mer.
chant marine can wait, but Borah
and La Toilette and Johnson are

president lis poor advertiser"-he
must be sold to the country" OF
course there will be some who will
make mighty poor offers, but others
Will bite. They should, and If thew
nave any gratitude they will. Weeks
tells us they are biting fine. Five
hundred thousand dollars Just raised
under the guiding hand of Will HAYS
TO lift the Republican party out of
financial bankruptcy. Financially,
Z. o. P. is now a solvent, going
concern. The only thing needed is
an advertising genius and it is well
agreed that the Old Guard have
found him at last in Lasker. We
do not know who the suckers"
were, nor how large the fish. We
are only told that sufficient
amount was raised and that at this
season of the year, under the law,
1t is not necessary to file any re-
port. The country win therefore be
forced to remain in the dark as to
the number of names of the con-
tributors. 1t is q pity that John
D. has lost so much on the poor
sale and declining price of gasoline
that he can not contribute. The
reason no doubt Is tnat the Teapo
Dome venture was a failure. If Har-
ry Sinclair and those associated with
him, whose identity viii never be
known, mad not been forced to pay
such a large price to the govern
ment for that field, John D. and
maybe Harry could have helped

Hays as an Example.
Speaking of advertising, that fell
low VIII Hays is no SLOUGH. He
not only sold the Republican party
to the country, but sold himself to
the movies for a cool 100000 year.
He is about the onry movie satellite

anything out of the moving picture

was when different crowd con-
trolled at Washington. Will failed
to sell Arbuckle, but 1t may be he
and Lasl1er can sell Harding. If
they succeed, Will is secure in his
job IF he fails, it will be back to
Sullivan for Will.

VIII Giving Fortune
To Methodist Church
Missing in Carolina

HICKORY, N. c., April 21.-A will
by which j. w. Higgins, Yancey
county banker, is said to have be-
queathed 100000 to further the
work of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, has disappeared and
attorneys in six towns in the state
have been retained to investigate the
affair, the Rev. w. o. Goode, Sec
rotary treasurer Of the board of edu-
cation of the Western North Caro-
lima conference fthe church, said
today.
There is no question of fact as to
the will, according to Mr.. Goode,
who said it was seen a few days be-
fore the death Of Mr.. Higgins, but
it cannot be~found, he added. Mr..
Higgins, who was 80 years of age
and childless, was struck by an au-
tomobile driven by Elias Hensley, 16.
several weeks ago and died in a
Marion, n. c., hospital. His farm,
valued at $4,000, was left to a
nephew, Joseph Higgins, and the
remainder Of his fortune to the
cuhrch, dispatches said at that time.

Gives Agriculture Depart
ment Regulatory Powers to
Prevent Attempts to Cor
ner Market
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
408 Evans Building.
BY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Offi-
Gals of the department of agricul'
ture today accepted with a grain of
salt statements from members of
the board of trade of Chicago that
they were rather jubilant over the
supreme court decision declaring the
grain futures act constitutional and
that it meant government recogni-
ton of trading IN futures.
The Capper-Tincher law, it was
said at the department, never was
Intended to stop future trading in
grain, but it does give the depart.
ment of agriculture regulatory pow
ers to prevent undue manipulation
and attempts to corner the market,
and throws open to inspection all
transactions of the grain exchanges
and their members. That the Chi
cago board Of trade fought the law
and carried it to the courts, it is
suggested, does not jibe with the
statement now attributed to it's
president that the board is satisfied
with the decision and that cit
specifically preserves the futures
anu gives 1t OlIICIS1l lSCOS liz
ton as a necessary factor in the
economic marketing of foodstuffs. -
Basis for Contest
The grain exchanges contested
the law, it is explained here, main.
ly because of two provisions-one
admitting cooperative marketing as
sociatlons to membership on the ex-
changes, the other providing for
government inspection of all rec
ords. These points, with others, are
upheld by the supreme court and
the department of agriculture now
is clothed with full authority to reg
ulate the exchanges and penalize
them in event of Objectionable spec
ulat1on. At the same time, it is not
contemplated that ordinary specuIa
ton in the buying and selling OF
contracts for future delivery shall
cease, nor is it proposed to stop
hedging, regarded as necessary, for
instance, for the protection of flom
millers.
In the absence of Secretary Wal
lace, officials of the department of
agriculture referred to recent
analysis of the law by the secretary
Of agriculture. This was a clear-cut
statement of the scope of the act
and the authority of the department
should the law be held constitu-
tional.
New Law Same As Old
"The new law" said Secretary
Wallace, takes the place of the
regulatory provisions of the future
trading act of 1921, which was de.
clared unconstitutional by the SUI
preme court. In substance. the new
law is the same as the old, but the
new law is based on the power of
congress to regulate interstate COM
merce, while the former statute was

FLORIDA ASSEMBLY,
EN!I.]]5 THIRD WEEK.;
FEW BILLS PASSED

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, April 81.
House and senate rested from their
third weeks labor today with no
new laws of Importance on the stat
ute books. For the house, it's ma
jor accomplishment was the prep
aration of a bill to abolish the con-
vict lease system and ban corporal
punishment Of county prisoners.
The house worked laboriously on it's
measure in an effort to insure ev-
cry precaution of good treatment
for the prisoner and then sent the
bill to the engrossing committee to
put it in shape for final passage.
Before this could be done the SEN
ate stepped out and passed meas
ure of it's own. The senate bill does
not cover the ground of the house
measure, it deals briefly with the
prevention of leasing prisoners to
private firms and individuals.
Aside from this, and the days
work given to temperance bills by
the lower body yesterday, both
houses dealt largely with measures
of minor importance during the week.
The week was marked by the
adoption in the house of a resolu'
ton to restrain the teaching of OAR
winism and like doctrines in the pub
lie schools and institutions OF the
state. Notice was gwen later that
the measure would be recalled for
further consideration There is lit
tie doubt but that it slipped through
Wednesday and it is predicted that
enough votes will be mustered 70
again bring it to the floor when it
will, at least, have more opposition
than it encountered before.
The senate was placed in a good
way Tor a fight yesterday with the
a bill aimed primarily at the Ku Klux
Khan, it's author later stated. The
measure would prohibit any masked
person from any street, alley or hlgn'
way in the state.
AT the local sessions of both houses
Thursday night, they both passed
the bill to authorize w. F. Corners
to build his toll road through the
Everglades, but in the rapid fire
exchange of ratification the lower
body tackled on a minor amendment,
one relating to the penalty attached
to those who run by toll gates, and
held UP the final passage of the bill
Senator Malone had his troubles
with a bill to remove tt e limitations
now placed on cities and counties in
the granting of franchises. In fact,
committee yesterday decided to re-
ject his bill and to take a look at
one which, while removing the limi-
tation, will provide for a referendum
before any charter can be granted

WHAT ARE METEORS. MADE .OF?-By

N n ETEORS have always been looked on
MI with interest by the sky watchers.
They swoop down us startlingly
from some mysterious hinterland of outer
space. We look with something of awe,
even today, and wonder about them. Are
they messengers from distant, strange
worlds? Are they special? Do they differ
in some essential way from the substance
matter of the earth? The answer is an un-
romantic no.
Chemically, meteorites are often composed
Of iron with some nickel, and smaller
amounts of other elements. SO far the
chemist can determine the iron in meteors is
just like the iron in the kitchen range or
the garden hoe, and the nickel no different
from that in the scent piece in your pocket.
1t seems to be pretty definite proof that our
earth is part and parcel with the rest CT the
universe and that all the splendid stars are
now or will sometime be made UP Of just
the kinds of chemical elements we ind by
scratching the surface of this little Old earth
The subject has recently taken on new in
terest for the scientist because of the ais
covery a few years ago of what are called
iSOtopes. Many elements are not single
substances, but are made up of mixtures of
single substances, the isotopes, which are so
alike chemically that they cannot be sepa-
rated by ordinary means. They stay to-
gether in all chemical processes, and only by
laborious experiments with X-rays and ra-
dunn substances has the scientist become
convinced that they exist. Chlorine, one of
the elements in common salt, has an atomic
weight of 35.47, but it is now know to be
made up of three isotopes of atomic weight
ranging from 35 to 49, in the proportion to
give just the odd weight found So the
question arose as to whether the iron and
the nickel in meteOrs were made up of the
same proportions of isotopes as are found in
our terrestrial elements
in Of Z bO
Harvard laboratories, has completed atomic
weight determinations for both iron and
nickel from meteorite, and finds that in
this way also the elements of the meteorite
resemble those belonging to our earth.
There seems to be no doubt therefore,
that all of the matter of the universe came
out of the same vast melting pot Our sun
differs from giant, Betelguese, at the other
end of the heavens, only in size and holiness,
The warmth and the water and the light on
our earth are probably very much like those
on thousands of planets swinging in the
vast spaces of the Milky Way; and, given

Q. Woh said Don't cut off your nose to
spite your face?" L. o. NJ.
A. The origin of the proyerb "Do not
cut off your nose to spite your face" is un-
known. It's earliest recorded use was by
the French writer, Tallemant des Reaux,
1657-1659
O, From what country did Frankin's an
cestors come? J. M.
A. Franklin came from line OF sturdy
blacksmHhs who lived for 200 years in Eng
land only twelve miles from the manor house
OF Washington's ancestors. It is interesting
to reflect in the light of subsequent history,
how the pink-coated huntsmen of Washing
tons aristocratic family may have had their
horses shod by Franklin's kinsmen.

A. Platinum sponge is a metallic plati-
mum in gray porous spongy form obtained
by reducing the double chloride of platinum

gree. and is employed as an agent in oxidiz-

PITY THE LADIES OF ARABY

Translated from the original Danish of
Frederik Paulsen, there appears Travels
and Sketches a book of travel notes
(Knopf), from which we quote as follows;
When Arab women meet and have ad-
mired each others clothes, and tasted a
few sweets together, their conversation is
exclusively on female matters. The one
thing that fills their little undeyeloped
brains is love and children. The object Of
their upbringing is beauty and grace.
An Arabic proverb says: "A mans beauty
is his spirit, woman's spirit is her beauty"
That is the end of the matter
They live in their quiet courts; they
never walk out but are driven In closely
fastened CARRIAGES with curtains before the
windows.
But when the husband is good and they
bear healthy children, they are fortunate
in their cages, like pretty birds that have
never known freedom
Birds in gided cages? Yes, but how
amazed they would be could they UNDER
stand the sympathy or the scorn of a
feminist or a woman champion of the ten
mis- courts in the world outside Of such
is the kingdom of-Arcady? No, just
Araby.

EXPLAIN GHOST LIGHTS

STOCKHOLM-The mystery of the ghost
lights" emanating from Lake Lekyattnet
("Playing Water) in Sweden which has
long thrilled the inhabitants of Vaermland
the picturesque home country of Selma
Lagerlof, has now been mercilessly dispeled
by science as embodied in the Swedish bu-
reau of geological research Two of the bu-
reaus Investigators have just returned from
the locality with natural explanation,
which, however, may not entirely satisfy the
more imaginative country folk, and, indeed,
the scientific explanation is itself almost a
mystery.
The "ghost light" which has often been
seen over Lekvattnet seems to have become
particularly active about year ago. Farm
driving home on dark winter nights were
startled again and again by the appearance
of ghostlike masses of blue-white light sailing
along through the air. Doubling Thomases
heard their big-eyed tales, and were taken to
the spot to see with their own eyes that the
ghost light" was real. Soon the whole
countryside could talk about nothing else.
Sophisticated newspaper men made fun of
the whole affair But the ghost lights"
could not be laughed away. Finally two eX-
perts were sent out by the geological bureau
to investigate the matter
These scientists obtained numerous SAM
pies of the mud of the lake, and have de-
termined by laboratory tests that the mud
from Lekyattnet contains an unusually large
percentage of phosphorus. From this mud,
they infer, luminescent gases escape to the
surface of the lake, whence they apparently
drift away in more or less compact masses
before the wind. 1t is even possible the in
vestigators say, for such gases to rise
through cracks and perforations in the ice
during the winter. The reasons why these
fights were seldom, if ever, seen during the
summers it was explained,< was due to the
fact that the summer nights in Sweden have
only two or three hours of darkness intense
enough to make the ghost lights visible
But the geological experts admit that they
were not able to capture any specimens OF
the phosphorescent gases, and are talking of
making attempt TO do so next year. Mean
while the quaint prototypes of Selma Lager
lof heroes chuckle knowingly. They had
never expected the professors from Stock
holmf to catch the ghost lights"
