Youthful Inventor Claims
Remarkable Discovery.

New YOrk.-A small spool Of steel
wire will preserve for future genera
lions the epochal events of. history.
This is the way Harold Westman,
tWenty-three-year-old student and in
ventor of Mamaroneck, N. Y, views
a device he has perfected to reproduce
voice and other sounds by means of
a vibrating wire.
If this idea had been worked out
sooner" he said, 1--WE could now hear
the Sermon on the Mount, Patrick
Henry's speech for liberty or death,
Lincoln's address at Gettysburg
ballot in the 1924 Democratic national
convention.
With those opportunities gone, how
ever, every important event of the fu-
ture can be preserved, Westman de-
clares.

AT THE MOVIES
AT THE CAPITOL

How the express business followed
the transcontinental railroad, expand
ing commerce and extending civiliza-
tion into the West, is recorded with
remarkable realism in the William
Fox picture, "The iton Horse" now
showing at the Capitol Theatre.
And it is shown, too, how express
was shipped before the railroad
crossed the prairie, when Kit Carson
rode one horse steadily, day after
day, for 1000 miles. The little ami
NAL became so shy of Indians that he
would leave the ground at the sight
Of feather. But Carson got through
with government mail, small express
packages and money.
The express commenced transcon-
tinental business with the completion
Of the railroad in 1869. William F..
Harnden had commenced the first
express business between Boston and
New York on March 4, 1889. In 1910
Alvin Adams established his express
service. Wells Fargo first had the
pony express with Buffalo Bill Cody
as their chief rider.
"The Iron Horse" reveals the
thrilling life Of this period Of Amer
lean history with telling effect.
George O'Brien. J. Farrell Macdonald
and Madge Bellamy have the leading
roles. John Ford is the director.

ings freely when they are trampled upon by
critical decision which is not to his liking
That is part of baseball and is mostly what
makes it the true national sport. That is also
why good umpire buys a pair of tin ears be-
fore he gets an air mattress or a wire mask
He doesn't care, because he doesn't hear. He
resolutey learns not to.
| Physically assaulting the umpire is quite
another thing. Nobody but tinhorn ever did
that or ever will. If Racine, or any other city
| is the league, including Kenosha, cannot in
sure the umpires who arbitrate the games
played there, safety from physical violence, it
is the clear duty of the association to refuse
to send it's umpires on the field in that city
In the case of Racine, where the same offense
has been committed within two weeks, the as
ISOLATION should demand that hereafter all
games played in that city should be uFnpired
under direct police protection for umpires, pro-
vided before they are assaulted and not after
We understand full well that rowdyism is
not characteristic of Racine, and that it is
quite as deeply resented by Racines real fans
/ as it is by all others who are interested in
clean sport. But Racine evidently has too
many residents who are not fans and who are
not sports, and it is from them that the other
clubs in the league are entitled to protection.
For we cannot hope for clean baseball, and
clean sport, clearly played and honestly de-
cided, if there is one field in the league in
which umpiring must be done in the fear of
bodily injury from uncontrolled hoodlums. We
have right to the unbiased and unintimidat
7 ed decision Of umpires when we play ball at
Racine. 1t is up to Racine to make that pro-
vision so sure that there can be no question
about it, or the games scheduled for Racine
SHOULD be moved to other cities where such
conditions are not permitted.
1t is no answer to say that such action is the
irresponsible conduct of an. inconsiderable ele-
ment. Of course it is. We all know that. 1t
is therefore all the easier to control, and the
responsibility of Racine for controlling it is
therefore all the greater A few jail sentences
for yesterdays ruction would go long way
toward stopping that sort Of thing, but if Ra-
cine can't do it any other way she should
guarantee, for the rest of the season, such
police protection for the field as will make it
physically safe to umpire a baseball game at
HorIick Athletic Field.

THE RACINE RIOT.

The physical exuberance of Racine baseball
fans is getting to the point where it attracts
attention. Ordinarily the class of people who
comprise such mobs are better left unnoticed,
except by the police, to whom they properly
belong. But as there seems to be an organized
effort among the short-sports in our neigh
boring city to establish the fact that umpires
of baseball games in that city must decide
close questions as they desire or 80 70 the

Daily Health Hint
HOW TO GET RID OF FLEAs.


Please are a common pest. They live
on dogs, cats, rats, hogs and human
beings.
In addition to the uncomfortable
ness produced by their bites, there
is danger of infection. Bubonic plague
is carried by feas.
To Danish feas spray the infested
places with the following preparation :
Put two ounces Of oil of bay and
four ounces of ether into bottle.
Into another bottle pour Is ounces
of alcohol and four ounces of oil of
eucalyptus.
Let this stand for two hours, shak-
ing occasionally, then strain through
piece of cheesecloth into large bot
tie. Use this with an atomizer, spray
ing the localities in the room where
the feas are. ~
Clean the room with carbolic acid
water, injecting it into the cracks and
lodges, and sweeping the floor or car
pet with it, and wiping everything
with sponge wrung out of carbolic
water.
A thorough treatment of the room
with naptha, taking the carpets and
upholstered furniture out of doors
and saturating them with naptha
will get rid of fieas.

Siding With Darwin, UnwittingIy.
The intellectual limitations of the
anti-scientists are well illustrated by
their announced glee in discovering :
textbook to use in the Tennessee
schools which "does not teach evolu-
ton"
The book, in fact, does teach evo-
luton, thought apparently in cow
ardly way. 1t says, cit is futile,
therefore, to look for the primitive
stock of the human species in any
existing, animal"
This is, of course, exactly what OAR

No existing" animal-that is, no
species now alive-is the primitive
stock" of the human species, or of
any other.
All existing animals, including man,
were preceded by other species which
no longer exist. All the "primitive
stock. became extinct long ago. The
present species were either descended
from them, or were separately Great
ed after them and unrelated to them.
If man was created unrelatedly, his
creator lacked the resourcefulness to
hang his viscera from the ends suit

them, instead, by adapting imperfect
ruped predecessors.

THE CLASSICS.

The old dispute about the place of
Latin and Greek on school curricul-
ums has been revived lately, with a
number Of college professors pleading
that the classics be given a larger
place.
1t all depends on what you want
your school to do.
If you want school to do nothing
except to train its pupils to be sue
cessful carpenters or engineers or ar
chitects or lawyers or statesmen, then
the classics are more or less out of
place.
But if you think school ought
first of all to teach pupils how to
live, how to enjoy life and work and
play, then by all means restore the
classics.
