MYSTERY MUSIC IN
spirit LAKE REGION
Tacoma, WASH, Has Story
of Weird Rehearsals, Be-
Iieved Due to Radio.

BY the Associated Press.
TACOMA. Wash, October Is 80
counts of strange music coming out
of space in the vicinity of Spirit Lake
and Mount st. Helena have been re-
ceived here recently.
Albert Weiss, who had business In
the Spirit Lake region in connection
with mining claims, asserted that he
heard the music, which included arfas
from some of the operas. Weiss
story was not taken seriously until
August Frye, superintendent OF
Tacoma foundry, who had never met
Weiss, reported the same thing. Both
men said the music was heard be-
tween 9 and II o'clock at night
The tale has led to the supposition
that radio waves from broadcaStinE
stations have been picked up by
ledses of minerals in that wild region
and reflected back as SOUND.

able in large degree to the primary election system. There
congresses that were lacking in effectiveness and in states
manship long. before that much heralded panacea for all polit-
ical ills was foisted upon an unsuspecting nation by a bunch
of professional reformers:: But the progress downward and
in the direction of sheer cheapness, has been
steady and progressive since the country discarded the con-
vention.
''The primary election system is a real bonanza for the
flannel mouth and the professional demagogue. 1t provides
such personages with peculiar scope for the display of their
talents and at the same time it discourages men of intellectual
and moral substance and patriotism from entering public life
"B!esides lowering the general standard of candidates.,
the primary system also is sadly destructive of party loyalty,
so that today the system of government in the United States
is becoming more and more a government of men rather than
a government of principle. There still are members of the
national legislature who are able, honest and patriotic and who
have vision; but, particularly in the lower house, such men are
steadily becoming fewer and when one drops out he seldom
is replaced by a worthy successor.
''There is just one way to correct this condition; and that
is to remove the cause either by aboishing the primary or by
modifying it, if that is possible. SO that its more vicious fea-
lures will be minimized. At present the likelihood that an
effort in this direction will be among the movements of the
near future seems faint. But sooner or later something of the
sort must be undertaken. Otherwise the country must expect
to see the idea that the American government is a government
by party, regulated by principle and belief rather than by in
dividual interest, prejudice and passion, become hopelessly
obsolete. Otherwise the country must expect to see the dis
graceful performances which are disgracing the present ses-
sion become commonplace of legislative procedure in the ma
tional capitol" Casper Tribune.

YOUTH AND THE MOTION PICTURE

One of the greatest influences for good or ill in our coun-
ages. The group most attracted by action, color, romance, and
thrill of the picture is composed of the young people of both
adults arc now demanding that some modification of themes
and treatment be made of the film dramas. They are doing
this because the screen has been adopted as a means of using
given the proprietors of our local theatre for the censorship
Their aim has been to select the best dramas possible, and in
this day and age, such a selection is no easy task.
The motion picture lure, as it affects boys and girls, is
wrapped up in the whole question of the use of leisure time
on the part of the young people. In most cases, the parents
theatre because it was cheap. They have inquired little into
the influence Of the drama, designed for adults, on their young
people. The boys and girls also have a glut of magazines,
novels, autos, dress, dancing, jazz music in public places,
money to spend, and parties, with a minimum Of oversight,
ents in friendly ways. OF the many things thrown in the way
Of boys and girls there are few which cause less harm than
the motion picture. Ais such absorbing pleasures contain more
knowledge of ''lfe' should come normally, slowly,
w~holesomely to young boys and girls. They are no more fit to
sorb the whole motion bill of fare than they are ready to be
thrown against emotional a%valanches. Wisdom cries aloud in

them the facts 70 life they crave to know, in the fashion that
only a parent knows'" "Will you pick and choose the pic

favor of regular, selected motion picture entertainments for
all the young people of your towni'' If you will pool your
interests with other thoughtful parents in town, the motion

solved; just as the library problem was solved by the intro
duction of the chidren's department.

r OF THE PRIMARY

The Detroit Free Press is n consistent foe of the primary
election system. 1t is not alone in its hatred of a system that
has done more than any one thing to bring on the UNDESIRABLE
situation found today in the congress of the country, the medi-
OGRE quality of office holders, and the general rottenness that
crops out in our elective system. 1t will be no better, neither
will we regain the proud position we formerly held in these
matters until the people come to their Senses strike at the root
of our evils, and destroy the primary system. The Free Press

Cement Mortar Preferred
for Hollow Tile Work

Hollow building tile should be set
with cement mortar, composed by
measure of one part portland cement
to not more than three parts clean
sharp sand. to which there may be
added hydrated lime not exceeding
Is per cent by volume of the cement.
The percentage of lime added 10
always figured on the quantity of the
cement used; therefore. 16 per cent
is equal to about one-sixth part by
measure of the cement.
The lime specified is not needed to
make the mortar stronger, but to make
1t pore plastic and easier to handle.
Mortar containing lime will adhere
better to the tile, makes a neater job
and results in saving In labor. Too
much lime must not be used, as II
weakens the mortar. A straight lime

not suitable for setting hollow tile.
A sand containing a quantity Of

lie that fences made with concrete
posts are attractive and, more than
that, that they are permanent: they
will not rot or burn nor split by warp
ing. Concrete posts also make excel
lent supports for mail boxes. They
can be made to suit the needs Of the
housewife for dothesljne posts. In
any Of these uses they have the same
big advantage in addition to their at

Concrete garages. which are IRE

Water Pumps Itself

location to pump the water out of Its
galleries, though its mean depth is
about 900 feet, without any cost save

ally pumps itself. The secret lies in
the fact that the mine location is such
as to make possible the construction OF

tie home with the expenditure of Q
much more modest sum Of money
than at hrst seems possible.
Through the adaptation Of ids4s de-
veloped to make the apartment home
as efiicient as possible. the little CO
lonial home shown here has been
made to serve the purposes of much
larger and more expensive house and
at the same time has charm Of its
own which cannot be denied.
The designer Of this home has
worked in his colonial details with
delightful effect and Its individuality
Is apparent in many ways. The clap
board walls. the easement windows,
the brick walk and platform, the slop-
ing roof and the arch over the drive
way are all features which will make
this house attractive in any setting.
The house'is 30 feet by 20 feet 9
inches and may be built on an aver
age-sized lot, saving plenty of room
for the lawn and the driveway.
There are three rooms and a bath.
But the house has been SO designed
that 1t is possible to live in these
rooms as comfortably as 1t formerly
was to live In five or six rooms. Both
the living room and the dining room
are equipped with disappearing beds
Of a type found practical in apartment
house construction. The locations Of
the beds by day and by night may
be seen from the floor plan.
The living room Is well lighted with
three easement windows. The dining
room opens into the kitchen, which IL
of very practical size that every
housewife will appreciate. 1t IL small
enough to save many steps, yet there
IL plenty of space for equipment.
The bath room may be entered
either from the bed closet or from the
kitchen. In addition to the bed closet
there Is closet for wraps. convenient

Special Taxes

It is advisable In purchasing prop
erty to carefully Investigate the spe-
cial assessment taxes and ascertain
whether or not any Of these have be-
come delinquent and the property sold
for taxes. There are many instances
Of this kind happening every day, and
while the situation can be remedled
and the tax sale Cancelled. It is, never
theless. of considerable annoyance to
the purchaser.
The only safe method OF purchasing
and one in which the buyer feels ab-
solutely protected is In securing title
guaranty or title insurance covering
the property up to the amount Of the
purchase price. This can he done at
very little expenditure and should
lie dema. ,ded by the purchaser.

Concrete's Many Uses in
Beautifying the Garden
FlWr Plan.

The congestion Of residence build
ings in cities, the close crowdins of
dats and apartments, has caused an
ever-incrsasing number Of household
ers to move to the suburbs In recent
years.
The automobile, rapid transporta-
ton systems Of various kinds, the
ease Of keeping In touch with the
heart Of the city while living in sub
urb. have removed many Of the dis
advantages which were formerly as
ISOLATED with the smaller outlying
communities. Large metropolitan
stores now maintain delivery service
for residents of the suburbs. One
may have the feeling Of greater free
dom which comes from being not
quite 30 crowded, andoat the same
time be in close touch with the city.
Modern science and invention. too,
have given many home conveniences
which make living much more COM
Portable for the suburban dweller than
1t was some years ago. A modern de-
velOpment which has done much to
aid in improvement around the house
Is the advance In the use Of concrete
This building material. which il plas-
tic and can be nodded and at the
same time ID as enduring as stone
when finished. makes many details of
home improvement much easier.
The suburban resident who has a
plot Of ground large enough to permit
him to lay out garden and flower beds
also finds Innumerable uses for con-
crete. Flower boxes of this material
permit him to take bis flowers inside
when the weather becomes too cold,
but while the weather Is warm he can
have these plants outside In the gar
den. A hotbed, which Is easily con-
structed, will give him green vege-
tables at an early season, when this
green stuff would be very expensive
in the markets. Ii permits him to get
the maximum length of the growing
season.
In connection with gardens, there
are mnny Uses Of concrete which fall
more or less under the decorative
classification. II the garden Is large
enough one may want to build gar
den seat. and Tor this purpose con-
crete is superior material, for 1t
