A "MILIT.iRY SECRET" WORTH SI0O,000


 Edward l.. Dohcny's revelations" served the purpose of beruddIing the public mind.
 The claim he consented to leave the Elk Hills oil reserve and con- struct naval oil base at Hawaii for patriotic reasons after Rcar-Admiral Robison had imparted deep military secret about an impending war with Japan, sounds like an at tempt to shower the nation with favorable publicity.
 It is strange that only the oil man was told about the military secret, It is quite as strange that the government, high officials of which knew the deep secret, did not think of constructing the Hawaiian naval oil base. The government spends much money on less i'm portant defensive things than the oil base. It not only could have built the tanks but could have filled them with oil from its reserves without first giving away so much of it.
 MT, Dohcny may have been sin cere in connection with the patri- otto motive. Yet he had the discom- future of discovering that after he went to all tho trouble of building the Hawaiian tanks the deep mili- tary secret weighed so heavily on the minds Of government officials that for a time they permitted the precious tanks 10 go unused and re- ports were they were permitted tC get rusty until the newspaper boys with the fleet that visited Hawaii this spring sent home some edily- ing, or rather, distressing dis patches. It IS understood that since then the tanks hayo been given q coat of paint; whether or not any oil has been placed in them cyi, dently remains another deep mIli. tary secret.
 What the public will never bt able to understand is why sucI patriotism by all concerned re quired "loau" ul SlO0,00V, a lal,' letter 10 cover il, political eN pediency to make black look lih' white, and why tcl,grams papor and what not were not trusted {, see the light of day uuu, ncari. two years lal,r

or giving discomfort to those about
him. l have noticed that the smoker
on the bleachers or in any public place
does not concern himself as to where
his cigar ashes fall or into whose face
the clouds of smoke which he makes
blow. He enjoys his cigar or his
cigarette and that is enough. Even
the presence of women does not now
often restrain the young man or the
old whenever he feels like smoking. I
have always felt that 1t was the crud-
est exhibition of bad manners for
young fellows at either a formal or
an informal dance to smoke in the
presence of the young women, and
the strongest evidence possible of
their enslavement by the habit. A
young woman TO whom l was talking
only few days ago said she thought
it was an evidence of vulgar and in
adequate home training, but not every
body would go quite Sc far as that.
1t is an expensive habit, and In
sary, we might very well make a be-
ginning on tobacco. Most men claim
that their smoking Is an innocent
pleasure which does not cost them
much, but these men have not kept q
regular account.
1t is a useless habit, Tobacco now
is not considered a panacea for any
thing. 1t will not cure heartburn, it
will not whiten the teeth, it has no
palliative effect on snake bites or
rheumatism. Its use simply gives
pleasure at the expense of nervous
force and efficiency.
1t must be admitted that to many
people the use of tobacco is not posi-
lively harmful. The man of strong
nerves and sturdy physique usually
feels little detrimental effect from
smoking or even chewing. We are
always being confronted with the ex-
ample of men who have used tobacco
since birth, and yet who have lived
with all their faculties intact to the age
of ninety or a hundred. There is, of
course. no telling how much longer
such men would have lived had they
not used tobacco, but even with Its
use they did pretty well.
There is no lodging the fact, how
ever, that to the young growing boy
under twenty; tobacco is always harm
.ful. 1t stunts and stupefies his in
tellect, and it retards his physical de-
velopment. 1t weakens resistance to
disease, and it lessons the desire and
the ability to work. it breaks down
the nervous system and leads to youth
full immoralities.
A few years ago was in charge of
a grammar school of several hundred
boys. Ninety-five per cent of them
used tobacco. Not one of these boys
ever entered the high school,
AS said, l have no special quarrel
against tobacco, but as my little
nephew often asks, Whats the use -

THE SMOKING HABIT
BY THOMAS ARKLE CLARK

BY THOMAS ARkLE CLARK
MET Clayton the other night at the
L club, and his offering me cigar led
us naturally to the subject of smok-
ing. Clayton is a young business man
who carries heavy responsibilities.
He admitted that he was smoking
too much, and this admission would
have been wholly unnecessary to one
who had noted his color and watched
his nervous, uncontrolled manner. He
was never still, never without heavy
black cigar in his mouth. He had come
to rely upon the stimulus that tobacco
gave him as one takes his meals three
times a day to nourish his body or to
appease hunger.
The expense was no small item,
either. He never smoked less than
twenty cigars day, he told me, and
they cost him fifteen dollars hun
dred. That is more than a thousand
dollars a year going up in smoke, not
to speak of the physical and nervous
waste that result from the habit, and
Clayton is by no means a man who
can afford to waste either his money
or his energies. He was fully con-
vinced that smoking did him no good,
but that on the contrary it was doing
him harm, but he had no idea of quit
ting the practice.
/ spoke, few evenings ago, before
a woman's club to which men had been
invited. During the dinner the men
were cheerful and apparently happy;
interest. AS soon as the last course
had been finished, however, they were
nervous, restless, Ill at ease; they
played with the cutlery and shifted
their chairs about uneasily. / knew
what was the matter, and so, soon,
did the hostess, also-she was mar
ried.
you may smoke" she said to the
man next to her, and in five minutes
they were all pulling away at their
cigars, from which even for a half
hour, they could not endure to be sep
arated.
Don't you think smoking hurts
your" / asked nervous, sallow-
skinned youth.
''Yes," was his reply, "but it gives
me lot of pleasure"
/ have never looked upon smoking
as in any large degree introducing
moral issue 1t was never one of the
habits barred or rallied against in our
household. Most of the men in my
country neighborhood smoked, and
many of the older women whom /
knew liked their pipe. tits purely from
observation and experience that
have arrived at my conclusions and
not from any teaching which / have
received.
Smoking is selfish habit. The
smoker in public pays little attention
as to whether or not he is annoying

Important Things for
All Fans to Remember

Cores OF simplifying transformers
should be grounded.
Rubber tape Is better than friction
tape for aerial work.
Local stations may be shut out with
a loose coupled tuner.
To experiment with all freak hook
ups Is an expensive hobby.
Solder flows more readily If the iron
Ia wiped frequently on a wooden rag.
A good aerial and a good receiver is
the combination which gets distance.
The proper position of buried plates
or piles for ground system is di-
rectly under the antenna
In winding loose couplers the two
coils should be wound in the same
direction.
Under ordinary loads, loud speak
er may reproduce quite well, but dis
tort quite badly when overloaded.
Disconnect the receiver from the
ground wire when located In a So
called dead spot" This will make
local reception better.
Always keep storage battery In good
condition. Never LEI 1t run down COM

hydrometer float starts sinking. con-
meet the charger and let it run over

Disturbances arising from a receiv-
Ing set and loud speaker can be re-
duced by placing the cabinet on layers
of felt.
When using two loud speakers, con-
meet them in series, using "B" bat
terry of 90 to $50 volts and &c" bat
terry.
Two crystal sets may be worked on
one aerial, but regenerative sets give
trouble.
For loud speaker, 1t is necessary
to have set employing three, four, or
five tubes.
An insulated wire will pick up the
broadcast programs just as easily as a
bare wire. as the waves penetrate the
covering without the least difficulty.
If the lead-in is insulated 1t will act
as part of the aerial.
