ELECTRICITY NOW HELPS
MUSICIANS BLOW TUNES

"Aerphor," a new invention, comes
to aid musicians of wind instru-
ments. It is claimed human wind
power is capable only Of continued
sound emission over three or four
bars Of music, but many operatic
scores make bigger demands-hence
the new device.
It consists Of a foot bellows con.
tanning a water chamber and an
electric bulb from which the air
naoistened and warmed to the de-
gree Of human breath 10 forced
through a length Of rubber tubing
to the musicians mouth.
With this extra supply of wind
the musicians may perform the
most ornate caden1a, while breath
ing through the nostrils independ-
entity.

A new electrical invention which
locates underground ore deposits
will undoubtedly relegate the ad.
venture Of prospecting for gold and
copper to the limbo Of the past.
This sensitive device is not the wild
idea Of an impractical genius. but
the invention Of the director of the
American Bureau Of Mines, who
has already conducted successful
tests with it in Arizona and has
now applied for a patent.

Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph E. Kaake,

Harriet Industry in
China Is Extensive

Inc hafr-net business in China has
mad quite a history. 1t was estab-
hshed originally by Germans, who i'm
ported the nets from Chefoo into Ger
many and then exported them to the
United States as European-made hair
nets. There is still considerable ex-
port OF human-hair nets from China
TO European countries.
When direct trade in human-hair
nets was taken up with China. large
quantities of imperfect, understood.
and generally poor nets were export
ed. This finally resulted in the estab-
llshment in Chefoo and Tsinan. by
tne foreign and few larger Chinese
exporters, of hair-net inspection fac
tories, some employing as many as
l'ooO operatives, where bair-net car
goes are inspected and, If necessary.
the nets repaired before being shipped.
The net-making itself is a home mr.
cottage" industry; the hair is dis
triouted around in the various VII
iages-in the hinterland of Chefoo
and In the region Of the Shantung
ra1lway-and the nets usually pass
through the hands of several Chinese
middlemen before they are offered bv
the Chinese dealers to exporters.

Little Matter That the
Lawyers Overlooked

Judge Smith sat on the Circuit
bench in Missouri many years ago. He
was known far and wide as one of the
most patient and long-suffering Judges
In the state. Procedure in his court
was free and easy, and gross indeed
was the offense If it called forth a re-
Duke from Judge Smith
On one case it is told that the op-
posing lawyers settled down to their
arguments before the jury without any
time limitations and with a bountiful
supply of chewing tobacco. While one
argued the other chewed and while
the second one talked the first caught
up with his chewing. The two law
yers talked from eight o'clock one
morning until after six o'clock that af-
ternoon. The jury listened patiently
and the judge alternately slept and
read At last, however, the lawyers
announced that they were through
with their pleadings.
And now, gentlemen of the Jury"
Judge Smith began, "these two gentle
men have spoken long and eloquently
on the law in this case. However, YOU
are not to take into consideration one
way or the other any of their argu-
ments on this point of law. The last
legislature repealed the law, anywayp
