 Taking it all in all, the press comment is not enthusiastic, but rather resigned to the prospect of the short session. In very self-respect the congress should con- duct itself in it's remaining days with more diligence and circumspection than have marked ts prevous course.

INITIATION

The persistence of low money rates is dangerous and cannot fail to bring trouble, sooner or later In our present mood of re- stored confidence the psychological factor of imitation exists and reasonable restraints should be applied. The way to avoid the necessity of applying brakes suddenly and with an unavoidable collapse of busi- ness is to take wise measures now to prevent a too rapid expansion.-Chicago Tribune.

Where Abe Lincoln Stood

In front of Independence hall Ia
Philadelphia, stands statue of George
Washington. 1t replaces the marble
statue of the great American which
was placed there by the contributions
OF the school children of Pennsylvania.
The weather was causing the marble
to dlsintegrate and for that reason It
had been removed to a corridor on the
second floor Of the city hall. On the
sidewalk, near the new statue, in front
Of the cradle Of liberty, is a metal star
which marks the spot where Abraham
Lincoln stood to raise new American

Russian Chemist Makes
Strong Wire From Salt

A wonderful discovery has been
made by a Russian scientist, who
claims to have found a method of max
ing wire stronger than steel out Of
common rock salt His discovery is
the result of series of extraordinary
experiments in the mutabillty of
metals by structural chemistry.
The scientist found that by submit
ting the rock salt to high heat pres
sure before the elementary crystals be-
gan to decay he arrested the decay by
changing the structural arrangement
Of the atoms and molecules, and this
change Increased the durability and
ductility of the substance 800 times,
says London Tit-Bits. He is contlnu-
ing his experiments with other metal
substances
II this discovery can be applied to
metals 1t will revolutionize the world.
1t will mean, amongst other things,
trains capable Of running at 200 miles
an hour and turbine steamers that
could reach Australia In ten days.

Who Was CalyDso?

In Homer's odyssey the name is
that of a nymph that dweit on the
island of ogygla, on which Ulysses
was shipwrecked in his wanderlngs
after the Trojan war. Calypso re-
eeived him with Kindness, and offered
to marry him, promising Immortality
and eternal youth If he would consent.
Ulysses refused and Calypso after de-
tanning him for seven years was com

This she did, and taught him how to
build raft, on which he left the is
land and continued his journey.

Sixty-Three Years Ago

As some of the old timers have been
writing Of old times, / thought would
send in few lines. | remember
Pocahontas as 1t appeared when was
a child. We CROSSED the river in a
ferry We had no railroads then hut
steamboats, We're used to bring in the
freight. | remember the old court
house My father was there when
they covered il. A man fell from the
roof and was killed.
The people in those days did card
spinning to make cloth. The men
hunted wild game which was plentiful
in those days | remember when there
were only two brick buildings there
One was Eli Heavener's dwelling, the
other the jail. They did not need a
good jail to put them in when they got
too much booze so they could kick out
when they became sober. | remember
the Civil War. My brother was
lieutenant. saw both sides. the blue
and the gray. saw them march,
heard roll call. saw them mark time
and saw many cannons and balls. |
lived with my father, mother, two
brothers and seven sisters and there
are only two of us left, my younger
sister and myself.
We didn't have any radios then. no
autos and few wagons and buggies.
But the people lived happily. They
helped one another and would walk
miles TO visit with the sick and see IL
they needed any help. Now they call
up on the phone, hoping the sick are
better for they are afraid they may
have to help dig grave tomorrow.
/ remember that when a man held
an office one term he was ready to step
down and out and give some other
man chance but now man will run
you down to ask for your vote and
when he is elected he doesn't know
you any more. He is like a hog with
an ear of corn and will hold on to the
Office as long as he can.
We didn't have any poor farm then
for we didn't need it. Anyone who
needed help was sure TO find someone
who would open his doors TO him. If
anyone had a poor relative they took
the very best care of them and did not
send them TO the poor farm and then
ride around In their cars after the
poor one was gone.

In view of the action of Judge Page of the Federal

remarks of Judge Hay in the Baltimore Ohio in

AT this time the trend of rate making is downward in
conformity with things in general the declares
Things general evidently include the Indiana Bell
Telephone Company which has been beneficiary of

Judge Hay all through his opinion points the fact that

is downward.
This is indeed refreshing point of view. We recommend
the appointment of Judge Hay the Federal utility rate max
