thrifty millers used TO put Flash
boards" along the tops Of their dams
to enlarge their millponds and save
the water for summer.
This homely practice pictures the
solution of George NJ. Wisner, CON

over the city's intake of lake water
to carry off it's sewage.
Just vary the fiashboards on the
milldam into larger regulating works

@-- political methods that would
fill this column daily from now un-

would be an interesting story. There
would be stories of vote-buying-firs
systematized in 1928, by the way
stories of ballot-box stuffing, of herd
ing immigrants through the naturali-
cation process at so much a head
and voting them like cattle, of the
development Of plug-ugly gangs for
use on election day-starting with
the hickory-stick swingers in Jack
sons day and running through to
the gunner Of Murphy's time-of
fraudulent vote-counting, Of grating
in office, of selling public franchises,
of contractors collecting for work
never done, of embeZzling public
funds, of bribery and extortion, of
Matchmaking immoral women, of cor
rupting the police and all the other
symptoms Of American municipal
politics.

The symbols and terminals of the

This long wave length wayeg Is

to pass only the long wave length
desired for amplifcation and to sup

This long wave Is then amplified
progressively by the intermediate
ampiifier systems consisting OF tubes

The star chamber was a tribunal in
England consisting Of committee of
the Kings privy council, instituted or
revived by Henry VII in 1886. 1t had
extensive powers and held itself un-
fettered by rules of law, dealt with
civil and criminal cases by bill and
information, without the Intervention
of jury, and could infiict any form
of punishment short of death. 1t was
abolished by act of Parliament in
1641, in the reign of Charles l. The
court is said to have derived it's
name, either from the gilt stars that
adorned the ceiling of the chamber in
the old palace at Westminster, where
it held it's sessions; or. as is more
probable, from the Jewish bonds
