j the personality Of John W.
Davis, Democratic nominee for
the presidency. Tall, handsome, with
smiling composure and compelling ease
of manner, he is a man who catches
and holds the eye Of all beholders.
John W. Davis was born and bred
in Clarksburg. w. Va, a mining
town with per capita wealth sec
ond only to Brookline, Mass. He
was always well known in his home
town, for his familys position and
his own distinction marked him out.
Among his friends in Clark sburg
was Thomas G. Brady, well known
in West Virginia and Pennsylvania
politics. though now invaded and
living in Washington.
Mr.. Brady was an intimate friend
Of John ]. Davis, father of the
aspirant to Calvin Coolidge's high
position, and is loved and respected
by John w. Davis.

nomination, could not resist an IL

WAY back in 1918, when John
was appointed solicitor general of
the United States, his father wrote
me and asked me to tell him how
John was getting along in Washing
fumbled in his desk drawer and pro-
duced much-read old letter.
Il wrote back to old John ]. Davis
and told him he could be proud OF
his boy. A senator told me that
John had been the best man in Con-
gress ever to come from that State.
A well known newspaper publisher
said that Johns appointment to
solicitor general had been the
strongest appointment OF the admin
fstration. And I ended the letter
saying that the boy was presiden-

II remember the county convention
In 1904" Mr.. Brady continued, with
evident pleasure at the memories.
John w. Davis was chairman of the
convention, though he was only 81.
I was secretary of the convention.
Now John ]. Davis, who was consid-
cred the most brilliant man in West
Virginia, and who had opposed seces-
sion way back in the Civil War, had
always run these conventions to suit
himself. He was the acknowledged
leader Of the Democratic party, and
he overrode the convention rough
shod. Well, John w. was chairman,
and John J. introduced a motion.
While the convention literally held
its breath, John ruled his father out
Of order. The old man appealed
from the decision of the chair. but
tho convention upheld the sons deci-
sion. Three times old John ]. Davis
appealed from his sons ruling, and
each time. the chair was sustained.

Jenkins AYERS.
WHILE the radio motor is remark
w able because it is a practicable
mechanism, Jenkins has what he calls
lightning motor" that is even more
astounding. He built it several years
ago solely for experimental purposes
in connection with researches into
getting electrical energy out of the
air-that is, in making practical use
Of static. 1t will revolve without the
aid of any outside wires or connec-
tions of any kind, providing there is
enough static in the air at the time.
During electrical storms it spins
around in ghostly fashion, now and
then emitting sparks several inches
long. 1t is similar in appearance to
the so-called static machines to be
found in most electrical laboratories.
The weird antics of this device one
day at the home of the inventor
frightened Mrs. Jenkins severely and
the inventor was forced to remove it
to his laboratory.
Several hours prior to the visible
approach of a thunderstorm this ma
chine will begin rotation, and if it is
connected by one wire to an antenna
or lightning rod and by another wire
to the ground it will speed up at
high rate, throwing off hot, cracking
sparks.

uses of the Jenkins radio-picture pro-
lection apparatus is method for dis
patching radio ''photograms" in the
original writing. For example, per-
son who wishes to send a letter to
friend in another city may merely
write out his letter on a sheet of
paper. stick it in the photogram
broadcasting camera and in five min
utes the friend miles away will have
a Photographic reproduction of the
letter in the original handwriting of
the sender. Typewriter messages
are being daily transmitted under
laboratory conditions at the rate of a
hundred words a minute, and speeds
up to a thousand words per minute
are expected to be attained shortly.
The advantage of such a method of
broadcasting in the world of industry
can hardly be estimated. Newspaper
men, for instance, may type their
stories aboard a ship at sea and radio
cast them to their papers on shore,
paragraph by paragraph, right off the
typewriter, and the paper may make
cuts direct from the Photographic re-
production as it arrives a minute or
so later. The signature of the writer.

may thus be reproduced in print in
a short space of time, according to
Mr.. Jenkins.
Correspondents following the world
flight, he points out, would have
found this method Of getting their
stories to their home Offices invalu-
able. News activities up until within
a few minutes Of. press time could
have been flashed in "takes" direct to
receiving stations on the roofs of their
Offices on shore and converted into
cuts in a short time.
Furthermore, this inventor asserts,
radio camera machines in addition
would have enabled newspaper read
ers back homo to view photographs
of Lieut.. Wade's wrecked plane the
same day he was forced down and
have given to them almost instan-
taneously other picture news OF the
flight around the world.

Ncw York, beautiful young
wonaan attracts attention By rising
and leisurely surveying the audi
ence through her glasses. Claver-
ing, newspaper columnist. and has
cousin, Dinwiddie. are particularly
interested, Din,oiddis declaring
that she is the image of Mary Og-
den, belle of thirty years ago.
,oho had married a Count Zattiany
and lived abroad. He is convinced
that this is Mary's daughter. At
Clavering's suggestion, Mrs. Ogte-
thorpe, a friend Of Mary Ogden's
in her youth, is asked to solve the
mystery. She calls, on the young
.pon,an, receives a denial that she
is Mary Ogden's daughter, but be.
yond that learns nothing.
Clavering, determined to find out
who she is, follows her home from
tho theatre one night. Lack IS
with him, for she has forgotten her
keys and he hSlps her get into the
house. She invites him IN and
finally tells him she is the Countess
Josef Zattiany, a cousin of Mary
Ogden's; that she had married a
relative of Mary's husband.

THE PEACE PLAN AWARD

The Box peace plan award will
prove disappointing, no doubt. to
those who expected the great prize
offer. to evoke some new and magic
scheme, of making world peace
perma nent. But there is no royal
road to lasting peace. The road.
on the contrary. is slow and ardu-
Gus. bcset with difficulties, threat
cncd by mortal ambushes. Human
civilization goes upward and on
ward -. sometimes by leaps and
bounds. sometimes 50 slowly that
progress is indistingliiShable.
sometimes even Ny seeming TO fall
back. But it does go.
The prize winning plan is prom
Using, but not brilliant. 1t will re-
pay study. 1t points out way in
which the United States, without
abandoning or compromising its
principles and traditions, may take
the international instruments that
already exist and mold and shape
them to n better usage.
The League Of Nations now func-
tioning is a very different thing
from that which the Covenant
sought to set up and which the
American people 50 decisively re-
jected. 1t will be. farther improved
by experience. 1t will become
eventually an instrument whose
use will be entirely based on moral
power. When that day comes -
and perhaps we Americans may
hasten it's dawn-the United States
can more fully participate in its
contributions to world adjustment.
The prize plan is a real contri-
button to the literature OF world
comfy. Whether anything practi
cal comes out OF it In the near fu-
ture, is perhaps to be doubted.
But Edward Box had a good idea,
and the fruit it has already borne
is we'll worth while. At the very
least. it set nearly twenty-five
thousand competitors to thinking,
studying and suggesting. At the
most. it may prove the way toward
a better cooperation of the nations
to prevent war. Minneapolis

Right here let me say that Paula
Perier is much too good for you and
she only put that baby on your door

was the true sweet woman she is
and would take care of her child
when it was impossible for her to
care for it.
You really didn't enter into her
calculations in the least. She only
saw that Leslie was ill and baby
was necessary to save her life.
Think of it! If it is possible that
thoughts can be born in that deep
vacuum encircled by your skull. The
woman whom you wronged was
ready to give to the woman you mar
ried her own child. Partly of course
because she knew it would be we'll

because she knew the gift would
probably save Leslie's life.
And you needn't tell me, Jack, that
you haven't helped that damnable

never dare to show my face to Leslie
again. I wish I had. told her all

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Roberts Barton

Many and Mich and Tom Tucker
and the balloon man/aH went to hunt
for the lost Tweedles, Dunn and Dee.
They looked all over the circus
grounds, where men were busy get
ting things ready for the big show
in the afternoon.
They looked around the popcorn
stands and lemonade stands and all
the side-shows. And they looked
around the fortune teller's tent and
everywhere. But no Tweedles could
they see.
"My goodness! 1t looks as though
some big elephant had run Oh with
them or some big lion had swallowed
them up" laughed the balloon-man,
who was very good-natured. II just
got some brand-new balloons from
Balloon Land and I'd certainly like
to find them, for time is flying and
l should be out selling this very
minute"
Balloon Land! Flying!
The words made Nancy uneasy.
And without knowing just why, she
looked up.
And what she saw surprised her
so that she couldn't speak for a
moment. All she could do was to
point. Nick and Tom looked up and
the balloon-man looked up and then
the circus people looked up-clowns
and everybody.
oh! Oh! OH" shouted everybody,
"Quick! Get the big nets! They'll
fall"
For there, up in the sky, sailed
Tweedlc Dunn, hanging onto one
bunch of balloons, and beside him
was Dee, hanging onto another
bunch Of balloons. The sun was
shining right on them and there was
no installing who it was-Dum, in
his red stocking-cap, and Dee, in
his blue. The balloons shone with
every color like big punches of fancy
grapes.
"Come down! Come down out OF
that" called the balloon-man.
But he might as we'll have called
to the clouds or stars or moon to
come dom from their places. The
balloons went right on up-up and
up and up! Indeed, they were get.
ting so small that it was impossible
to tell by this time which was Dunn
and which was Dee.
Dear! Dear! This is dreadful,
said the balloon-man. What ear
we do about it? Has anybody an
airplane?
But nobody had.
81 know where they are going!'
said Nick. They're going to tn,
Land of Lost Balloons, up in the
sky. Nancy and were there once.
"Well, do hurry and go aftel
them,' begged the balloon-man.
Fortunately, Daddy Gander cam,
along just then. AS luck woult
have it he had his magic dustpar
with him.
"Please, Daddy Gander, ask you
magic dustpan to take US after tn.
Tweedle twins!" cried Nancy. ether,
they are, away up in the sky. Thu
balloons ran off with them"
"How DREADFUL" exclaimed poo
Daddy Camden. "What if the,
should happen to meet Mothe
Goose? I'd never hear the end o
it. Hop on!"
For the dustpan. had begun t
grow and by this time was larg
enough to hold them all. Away, i
went skyward in the direction tn
poor Tweedles had taken.
