The Day off

Through one cause or other, ons
thing or another, a man gets a day
of from work His mind can be
eased; he can do as he pleased and
he won't have to feel that it's shirk.
He wakes IN the morn and, as sure
rs he's born, he'll smile at the
thought Of u rest. But men, so il.
seems, only rsst in their dreams. for
with workaday habits they're blessed.
For instance. the mailman who
walketh all day, will rise up to do
as he likes. And what does he
choose as an of bit of play? Why,
he spends all the day on hikes
And Mister Bookkeeper, who
pushes a pen; what rest thought viii

mowers all day. And then, when 4

i'll up his play" and you'll find
him QUO cutting the grass.
It ms-y be right tue that a change
does one good, but too many fellows
won't let It. A man could get rest

he seldom knows just how to get II.

Science

Roy Chapman Andrews, leader Of
the American Museum expedition to
Mongolia, found some dinasaur eggs
which were sold to museums at the
rate of $4,000 a dozen.
The discovery Of these eggs caused
intense interest. They have beon
photographed and written about
many times. But an even more in
jeresting discovery of the expedition
seems to have escaped notice. This
was the discovery that the wild asses
Of Gooi desert can travel better than
thirty miles an hour for at least
sixteen~miles. 1t was known that
they We're very fleet, but heretofore
no one had tested their speed and
endurance. Andrews did so by
chasing them in his automobile.
The value of the discovery lies in
the possibility Of using them in arid
and semi-arid regions TO replace the
patient, but slow burro and small
mules. Their present home is a
desert where there is as little
nourishmert as in Death Valley,
California, and where there are no
streams or ponds Of water. How they
survive and attain such great
hardness Is a mystery.

OWNERSHIP

Los Angeles Utility Plants

ing Basis,
By MAX STERN

RI OS ANGELES, Cal, Sept. A.
ii Public ownership of water
III and hydro-electric power has
won in Los Angeles.
For the first time since the city
engaged in the power business a
bond election is unopposed by the
local power interests. On Aug. 26
the people viii vote on $4,000, 900
bonds for extensions to the city's
great hydro electric system, and al
though the power companies were
able to defeat a former one for the
same purpose, there is no opposition
this time.
Earnings Are Great
The reason is interesting in view
Of the oft-repeated statement by the
power companies that the Los An
geles city-owned power bureau is
running the city into debt and
doesn't pay. It is that the State
railroad commission has just rem
dered a report showing that although

will earn S2.520,O09 net, next year
$4,000 and the year after $4,-

Obligations Covered
After allowing 1900 900 for pur-
chase of certain. water rights in

owed the Edison Company on it's

The bond issue for $4,000, 900
failed by a few votes of the neces
sary two-third5 last year, although
104, 900 voted for it and $4,000 voted
against it. The criticism of tbs
power companies was that the city
was asking too much. But the rail

lots of undergraduates in institutions
of learning, now have been estab-

late of Harvard, who has undertaken
the job of lining up student voters
for the c. o. P.
An average Of 500 students per
college, or total of $50 have
been enrolled to date, Hamltn says
OF this number, however, about 100,-
600 will have no ballot, as only about
60 per cent of the membership is Of
voting age.
No student is rejected because of
immature years, since it is thought
best to catch EN- young and bring
'em up under G. Q. P. tutelage rath-
er than let them run loose and per-
haps be enticed into the Democratic
or Independent camps later on.

the candidates, Hamlin says:
