To most persons of western tradk

to be an unlueky day. Many of them
prefer not to say this straight our

any large enterprise on Friday. The
idea may come from the fact that for

secular pursuits should be held some.

the damage such machines do to

The gasoline tax bill ia Vir-
ginia embodies an exemption for
gasoline used for operating or
propelling boats, ships, airplanes
or aircraft, stationery gas en-
glnes, tractors used for agri-
Culture purposes, motor equip
ment belonging to cities and
towns used exclusively in NUM-
cipal activities, gasoline used
for spraying purposes, or for
cleaning, dyeing and other com
mercial uses. This exemption
is so arranged that refund can
be obtained with little difficulty.
The gasoline tax is the only
tax which is collected practicall,
without cost, as under the statute
of Virginia the wholesale dis
tributors, such as the Standard
Oh Company, and the Texas
Oh Company, pay the tax at its |
source, which not only assures
the full collection of the tax.
but eliminates the expences in
cident to collecting such taxi
from the retail.
Amy sensible person appreci.

ginia are to be built, the bill
must be paid, and the fact that
very little opposition has de-
veloped to the Sc. gasoline tax
made operative on July |, Judi.
Gates the general impression that
this is a fair and just means of
providing funds for the purpose
of road construction. In fact, at
the average retail price of not
exceeding 2Sc. per gallon i'll Vir-
ginia gasoline is today just what
1t was last winter when the price
was Csc. This would indicate
that there is a policy OH the part
of the large wholesale distribu.
tors to absorb at least a part of
this tax. Every border state has
gasoline tax which Virginia
automobilists travelling within
these states must pay. North
Carolina has Sc. tax Tennes-
see, &c. West Virginia, &c !;
Maryland, &c. Kentucky, 1c. 1t
is predicted that the District of
Columbia will adopt a gasoline
tax at the next session of Con.
gress. If Virginia motorists
must pay taxes i'll other states
for the use of the roads in those
states, it is only fair that per-
sons travelling i'll Virginia should
pay similar tax for the benefit
of our roads.
Under the pay-as-you-go plan
one cent of the three cent tax is
applied to the construction of
important farm-to- market roads
not embraced in the state system.

Natural Curiosity.

A natural curiosity is the Devils
Well" in Washington. 80 miles north Of
Spokane. This well is a cylindrical
shaft. 40 feet in diameter, sunk by
some natural agency in solid basalt
rock on mountain top. The water
level varies according to atmospheric
conditions, the average being about 80
feet below the mouth Of the well. The
swirling water with logs floating on its
surface is said to inspire a feeling Of
awe as one stands at the brink and
looks along the smooth, sheer walls
into its blue Depths

Secret Of Glassware

It is probable that but few persons
who admire the iridescence of ancient
glassware know that the prismatic hues
displayed are a result Of the decay
of the glass. When disintegration sets
in the substance of the glass splits
into exceedingly thin laminae, which,
as the sunlight trayersas them, give
rise to a splendid play of colors. AS

Sleeps Important Place in World.


One man alone could not look after
a whole flock, so the FIRST shepherd
called in others, who lived in scattered
huts or in caves, far apart, to assist
him, offering in return a share of the
wool and the meat that were now so
easy to obtain. And so at the edge of
the pastures the first villages grew up.
Thanks, largely to sheep, human So
ciety came into being, and with it came
laws and customs for the benefit of
the little community.
The next tremendous step was the
discovery of how to spin wool into
yarn and weave yarn into cloth, which
paved the way for manufactures and
commerce.

Editors Table

"The exhaustion of our coal and
oil fields is Il matter of centuries
only" writes J. 3. S. Haldane, the
distinguished British scientist, in his
article IT You Were Alive in 1923"
in the August Century. "As it has
often been assumed that their eX-
haustion would lead to the collapse
of industrial civilization, | may per-
haps be pardoned if l give some of
the reasons which lead me to doubt
this proposition.
Water power is not, l THINK,
probable substitute. on account of
its small quantity. seasonal fuctua-
ton, and sporadic distribution. 1t
may perhaps, however, shift the CEN
ter of industrial gravity to well
watered mountainous tracts, such as
the Himalayan foothills. British
Columbia, and Armenia. Ultimately,
VIC shall have to tap those inter
mittent, but ineXhaustiblc. sources of
power. the wind and the sunlight.
The problem is simply one of storing
their energy in form as convenient
as coal or petrol. If a windmill in
ones back garden could produce a
hundredWeight of coal daily Cand 1t
can produce its equivalent in energy),
our coal mines would shut down to-
morrow. Even to- morrow a cheap,
fool-proof, and durable storage bat
terry may be invented. that will en-
able us to transform the intermittent
energy of the wind into continuous
electric power.
Among it's more obvious advan-
tages will he the fact that energy
will be as cheap in one part of the
country as another. so that industry
will be greatly decentralized: and
that no smoke or ash will be
nrOduCed."

the Boothbay Harbor Water Co.. to
purify the water and by August first
there will be no cause for further
worry in that line. Mr.. Giddings
inspected the pond going all around
the edges and reported that all shore
looked perfectly all right and if there
was any impurity it was caused by
some vegetable matter being washed
up on the edges by the heavy rains
of the spring.
Through the efforts of H. J. Cotton
the spring in the Cove has been
thoroughly cleansed and drained and
is now in fine condition.
