STUDY MAm-MAoE LIGHTNING
6n0aneers Confident That Experiments
Going On Will Prove to Be
Successful.

Two-million-volt artificial lightning
Is being created in the research
laboratories Of the General Electric
company, Pittsfield. Mass. in order
that buildings and high power electrical
transmission lines may be protected
against the powerful electrical dyna.
mite" that nature discharges during
storms, reports the Kansas City Star.
f. w. Peer, Jr.. engineer In charge
OF the spectacular experiments now In
progress. explains that in addition to
the trouble that engineers have in
keeping power current from escaping
from the conductors there is the very
Important problem of lightning pro.
lection. A few million horsepower are
released in fraction of a millionth of
second when lightning crashes. Elec-
trical- engineers must know how TO
prevent this destructive force from
reaching the conductors Of power
lines or they must arrange so that II
will discharge harmlessly to the ground
when n does get TO the line.
The highest voltage actually used at
the present time for the commercial
transmission of power is 100000 volts
on line In California, but the General
Electric company has an experimental
miilion-volt line. Mr. Peek declared
that it is too early to say whether such
high voltages will ever be acquired In
practice.

gated areas in eastern Washington,
the important place that berries oc-
cupy on many farms is evident. The
climate and soil are right for berry
production and in proportion as mar
kets increase or can be enlarged and
improved through such means as CO.
and canning of the surplus, will this
industry flourish.
The production of sheep and beef
cattle will always remain an impor-
tant range and farm enterprise, Much
of our land will always be range and
national forests always will include
grazing areas. These should be graz
ed to full capacity but not overstock-
ed and what cannot be sold fat off
the range should be fed and finished
where our feed is produced. Fall
and winted feeding of beef cattle and
lambs from the range should become
just as standard an enterprise on
many of our hay and feed producing
farms both in the irrigated section
and the non-irrigated areas of east
ern Washington as are similar enter
prises in the corn belt of the middle
west. Our alfalfa surpasses in yield
that of every other state. Where 9TH
er states grow corn for silage and
concentrates, we can grow corn, sun
flowers, rye and barley. 1t may be
necessary to produce just under our
own market requirements in order
that prices for hogs may not have a
tendancy to be Chicago less freight
but rather Chicago plus freight but
there is still room for expansion be-
fore this point is reached.
Here again then is means of con-
serving fertility providing additional
income and supplying productive la
Dor during slack periods. But if live
stock feeding and hog production are
engaged in, it must be followed year
after year if it is to be successful.
Some years there will be losses. While
these prove discouraging, there is a
maxim among livestock men that the
place to find money that is lost is
where one lost it. If losses are in
Cured certain years, other years will
make up, and over series of years,
the balance usually is on the right
side of the ledger. No one who does
not expect to stick to it year after
year should start in the feeding or
hog raising game and expect to be
successful. These are farming enter
prises which one must learn how to
handle by slow degrees. By begin
ming in small way, by using the ex-
perience of others and the best avail
able information from agricultural
experiment stations and colleges and
by sticking to it, many will make a
success and not only will increase
their income but improve their plant
by maintaining the fertility and in
surfing larger and more economical
yields from year to year.

FoRMALITY DONE AWAY WITT
Some Difference Between Mid.vie
torian Counting and the Method
Accepted AZ Proper Today.

When the mid-victorian young man
desired to have young woman accom-
pany him to party he would first call
on the mother. Something like this
would ensue:
'Mrs. Brown, should like to take
your daughter, Alice, to party. May
have the pleasure OF her companyr'
"Who is giving the party, may !
ask?"
.Mrs. Jones. in honor of Hilda's
eighteenth birthday"
"Have you asked Alice?"
"Oh, Mrs. Brown, I wouldn't think of
doing that before asking your permits
sion first"
THAT was very proper. 1 shall speak
to Alice's father tonight. am quite
sure. however, that we shall give our
consent"
80, thank you, Mrs. Brown"
"Alice will write you tonight.
shall ask her aunt Matilda If she will
be good enough to chaperon Alice"
80, thank you, Mrs. Brown. Well,
good-by, Mrs. Brown. shall look to-
morrow for Alice's letter"
But nowadays the arrangements are
made somewhat differently. A young
man decides TO take in a musical show.
He consults his little red book, and
chooses one from an eligible dozen or
more to accompany him. He calls hee
on the phone and informs her Of his
plans.
Then he says. "What do yuh say,
kidf"
And she replies. 70. boy, lead me to
TT"
Then he says. ~Attababy New

THE EXPERIMENTAL METHOD

In a country school recently came
a woman and her son, who looked
rather the worse for wear.
'sWhat on earth is the matter with
Willie? ?" asked the teacher. "He
lookes really ILL.,"
mo he amt ILL.," answered the
mother, s'but he's mighty sick from
your fool teaching. You asked him
how long it would take to eat twenty
apples if it took him one and half
minutes to eat one apple, and he

FASC|STI PL A N
To RULE ITALY
ALONE
MussoIinis ousting of Popu-
Iar-catholic Cabinet Members
Seen as First Step.
BY GUGLIELMO EMANUEL,
International News Service.

ROME, April 25.-Premier Benito
Mussolini's sudden decision to ac-
cept resignation of Popular or Catio-
lie members of his cabinet, despite
their party resolution of loyal Cos
operation, was interpreted today as
the beginning of the second phase of
Fascism. This new phase is reiec-
ton of collaboration with any other
party.
There is a feeling of anxiety at the
Vatican, fearing a national wave OF
resentment by the Fascist against
the Popular-C Catholic party. Thesex-
tremists among the Fascist chiefs
are held responsible for the action.
Mussolini has not yet revealed
whether he will replace the late
Popular Catholic members of his
cabinet with members of the Fas-
cisti or will suppress the portfolios.
The premier wrote letter to
Stefano Cavezzoni, explaining his
decision He said that if times were
as they used to be and if his govern
ment had found it's origin in a par
liamentary crisis, the resolution of
the Popular-Catholic party pledging
cooperation would have satisfied
him.
But today it does not satisfy me
for my government did not arise
from the traditional parliamentary
crisis" said the premier, The ex-
PLANTATION returned after the Popular
Catholic party voted against, the
Fascist in the Turin conference was
obscure. 1t did not modify nor ex-
plain the Turin vote. The Turin
gathering was essentially anti-Fas.

Veteran Leaves Estate
To Keep Flowers
On Wife's Grave

Leaving an estate of many
thousands of dollars, Major
James w. Denny, an old Con-
federate war veteran, in his will
filed yesterday in Baltimore,
directs that the bulk of it be
spent in "showering flowers on
the grave of his wife until the
end of the world"
Major Denny, who was sew
enty-two years old and had
handsome estate at White Hall,
Va, asks that his brother,
Henry l.. Denny, personally look
after the showering of flowers
on his wife's grave during his
lifetime and he directs the
brother to lay out plans where
by the ceremony can be carried

LONG DISTANCE
DANCERS ARE
POISONED
They Are Suffering From Ex-
cessive Rhythm, Says Noted
Music Expert.
BY CARL BRONSON,
Noted Music Critic.

tWritten Especially for Cosmopolitan
News Service)
LOS ANGELES. April IS. - The
poison that is killing some of the
long distance dancers of the hour is
the intoxication of excessive rhythm.
There are many persons in the
musical profession who are similarly
affected, and cannot let musical
instrument alone for an instant,
much to the annoyance of their
neighbors. Many divorces have re-
suited from this same mania, which,
so far, has been treated with levity
by those whose attention has been
called to the psychic phase of the
disease
There are those who are constantly
whistling or humming. disturbing
their feIlow-workmen. Don't blame
them, they cannot help it, for they
are victims of rhythmic poisoning.
There is no remedy for this dis
ease but absolute silence. Animals,
too, are disturbed of charmed by
the constant reiteration of some es-
pecially marked measures of rhythm
and become whirling dervishes. their
gyrations terminating in either col
lapse or. insanity.
1t lis really not new disease. but
a more prevalent one than most peo-
pie suspect. Every music teacher
finds it necessary to break down
this runaway tendency in some OF
his pupils, and calm them down to
regular, balanced times.
Every one is familiar with the eff
fects of a very popular melody and
that it results in a really dangerous
obscession of rhythm until it is
finally exterminated by forgetful-
ness.
