cratic parties as corrupt and CON
trolled by the same people, was made
before the Daugherty investigating

his Investigations of wartime ar

by Goff that Myers owed his appoint

the Mitsui interests as part OF the
invisible government of the United

department agent, previously had
testified that he received from a repre-
sentative of the Mitsui company lou
81 900 bills. which he turned over TO
Jesse w. Smith.
Scaife also described what he re-
garded as the "critical relations be-
tween the United States and Japan
during 1921, while he was at work
upon the Standard Aircraft and other
cases. He said that he had seen
confidential report showing that
agents had traced to the Mitsui offices
a man who was taking pictures OF the
defenses Of Boston harbor.
Another report dealt with an Ell.
fort by the Japanese to buy In the
United States fire engine motor
trucks, which could be adopted for
artillery purposes.

ton the names of Secretary OF State
Hughes and Secretary of War Weeks
in connection with the American
Bosch Magnetic case. He reviewed the
sale Of the Bosch American holdings
by the Wilson administration to
Martin e. Kern, whom he character.
lied as a friend of A. Mitchell Palmer,

he thought Secretary Weeks had not

100 PER CENT PERFECT WHITE

Black Shows Complete Absence
Of Color.

Black has ordinarily been called mo
color" and taken to denote the absence
Of color. Likewise, white. being con-
stituted of all colOrs. may also be con-
sidered as no color. A white body u
assumed to reflect all the light that
strikes it. There .is no absorption and
hence there Is no color. A black body
abs0rbs all the light that impinges
upon 1t and reflects none, therefore
there is absence Of all color.
Theoretically this is true, but there
Is no white that will reflect 100 per
cent Of the light. and no black that will
absorb 100 per cent Of the light. We
often hear Of q whitest white, until q
whittier one comes along and displaces
II from its position of eminence. The
same fact holds good for black. But,
inaslnuch as some white must be taken
AS q standard Of comparison 4 choice
must be made Of the whitest white.
Pure barium sulphate Is. accordingly,
taken as the 100 per cent perfect white.
the white which reflects all the light
that strikes II. 100
From practical standpoint Il Is
equally incorrect to state that black
denotes absence Of all color. For one
black is blacker than the next and the
blacklist black, which Is assumed ito
have no color at all. may be found to
possess some light trace Of color when
compared with another new black.
Furthermore. as the eye is. not abSo-
lutely perfect and as its eensitivity IL
not infinite absence Of light as de-
fined by the sensation produced In II,
is relative only. Even the deepest
black would exhibit traces Of color.

RIVER is 1000 MILES LONG
Alexander the Great sridged the Indus
nv in india: and Led His Army 80.
Into the Punjab.

The Indus Is one of the three great
rivers Of northern India 1t has IT'S
source In the glaciers Of the mountain
region Of the north, and after flowing
across the hill country, inhabited By
the fanatical tribes, Of which Kipling
wrote, 1t comes out upon the plains OF
India, which It crosses, flowing to the
southwest. and emptying into the
Arabian sea q little south Of the from
tier Of Baluchistan. The distance In
straight line from source to mouth ID
1900 miles, but II the curves Of the
river be taken into account. the river
has length Of 1000 miles.
The Indus enters the sea through
several mouths. thereby forming a
large delta, and on the extreme west
ern end Of this delta stands the port
Of Karachi. the capital Of the Prov
ince Of Sind and the gateway for the
trade Of the Punjab and large part Of
central India. The city has a popula-
ton Of about 125OOO. It has large
export trade In wheat, oilseeds. cot
ton. wool and hides. It contains ex-
tenslve iron works and other manu-
factories. Karachi is 500 miles by sea
from Bombay.
1t will be remembered that when
Alexander the Great, the Macedonian
conqueror, invaded northern India, he
came to the River Indus, bridged 1t,
and crossing In the year 1928 B. c., led
his army into the Punjab. bis victo-
rious career continued for a time. but
finally his troops refused to advance
further, and Alexander was compelled
to turn back. He died on the home
ward march.

LAST TO INVADE ENGLAND
Writer Says John Paul Jones Was
First and Only American 70
Forcibly Enter Britain.

A decidedly interesting point IL
raised by well-known Chester gen.
tleman who. in letter. says Of John
Paul Jones:
HE was the first and the only
American officer, In army or navy, to
invade Great Britain. and he was the
last invader Of that country In the
world
Jones carried the torch to England
as British general carried 1t to the
White House at Washington 4 genera
ton later.
But do not airplanes count as In
vaders? Many German, planes lowered
over England and hundreds were
killed by bombs dropped from such air
craft.
Buy a piece Of real estate and the
title reaches up to the sky. imagine
England would assume that anybody
who invaded her air space was invad-
ing England, which would take from
our greatest naval hero the distinction
Of being the last invader.
Very likely it was meant that Jones
was the last man-o'-warsman to reach
England, and yet German submarine
officers might dispute that.-Glrard In
the Philadelphia Inquirer.

IT'S TURKEY
S Y HEAVEN ALSO
W. w.. Rice Says Horse
Heaven is Great Country
- - for Turkey Raising

More and more farmers of this dis
trict are adopting side lines to their
major farming operations and IN
some instances these side lines are
becoming so profitable that they are
losing their identity as side lines and
take rank as the chief industry on
the farm.
], With an increasing number of
farmers turkey raising is success
full side line. One of the most sue
cessful turkey raisers is w. w. Rice
who has the following to say of his
(, efforts;
"In view of the fact that each OF
us located in the Horse Heaven coun-
try is striving to increase our assets
by producing some species, or kind
Of by-product, some chickens, some
hogs, horses, cattle raising, dairying,
and others raising a few sheep, all
Of which go to better our resources,
for paying expenses of raising crops
and tiding us over the summer fall
low year, am pleased to remark
that few of us have demonstrated
the ACCESSIBILITY Of raising turkeys.
"My personal experience in rails
ing them is this, from start of two
good Monmouth Bronze turkey hens
and bobbler in 1921 we raised sew
eral turkeys for market and picked
out 9 first class hens for stock and
bought the smost promising gobblers
to be found for the 1922 breeding
from which we raised 220 young tur-
keys. May Matched birds weighed as
heavy as 16 pounds by November 10.
For our 1923 breeding, we selected
SO hens and bought two extra good
gobblers and sold the young toms
and hens left, at from 33 to AZ cents
per pound.
"Our increase of the flock in 1923
was 1900 per cent, raised ready for
market feeding in October. We sold
many eggs the purchasers of which
raised larger percentage than we,
owing to smaller flocks and plenty
Of range.
"For this. year we selected and
marked our parent stock of 100 hens
last October, and have them mated
with 8 of the choicest gobblers we
can find, so this year if we have
run of success we will be able to
select some extra fine hens this fall.
Our hens, young and old, lay from
SO to 81 eggs each per season, are
very thrifty and last year the eggs
tested 81 per cent fertile.
with little extra care as pro-
lection from rains while they are
very young, with plenty of range
and shattered grain, grass hoppers
and beetles, of which there are plenty
till December Is, any one should do
better than we. We were not able tn
I'LL our orders for eggs last season
and orders are already in for quite
number to be delivered at Kenne-
wick commencing April 20 so thew
may be Matched in May.
There is good future for tur-
key raising which far surpasses auv
other livestock business for the
amount of money invested. Horse
heaven can be put on the map as
one of the greatest turkey shipping
districts outside of Texas.n

Much interest has been awakened
by the experiments at Lyons In feed

spin silk Of corresponding hues. When
fed on red food the worm spins red
