Use SPRINKLERS
ON LOCOMOTIVES
TO SETTLE DUST

Elimination of the dust nuisance
which has been q constant annoy
ance TO travellers on the San Diego
and Arizona Railway between this
city and the mountains has been
solved by the railroad company
according to Charles +. Matlin, To-
cal preventative, by the installa-
tion of sprinkling system on the
company locomotives.
About two years the railroad
company oiled that part of its
tracks which cross the desert, and
for time the dust nuisance was
abated, only to reappear when the
winds covered over the oil with
sand.
BY the new arrangement, which
was used for the first time last
week, a thin film of water is
sprayed from the locomotive di-
rectiy on the tracks, thereby elm
mating the dust so that passengers
can SIT on the observation plat
form without having large section
of the desert on the.r clothing after
riding a short distance.
1t Is possible to provide sufficient
water at FL Centre for the locomo.
tives to generate steam and provide
tor sprinkling between this city and
and coyote Wells, where an addi.
tlonal supply of water can be OBJ.

A HOPEFUL ARMISTICE DAY

In some ways this anniversary of Ar1nistice Day
seems to be more hopeful than any preceding it.
The Locarno security pact, although 1t has met
with rebutfs, is nevertheless very real ground for
hope The League of Nations although it has not yet
attained its hoped for destiny nevertheless showing
of greater strength and reader initiative IN
dealing with The problems that confront it.
Terrible human bunders have been made in
China, in the Balkans in Morocco in Syria. But
here there ground for hope because there is more
widespread understanding the facts causing these
troubles and honest indignation for Whatever
wrong-dolng they involve.
The Utopia the world dreamed OF in idealistic
moments during the war madness has not been achev
ed, and won't be until more mighty abors have been
performed. But there does appear to be slowly
growing will to tackle those iabors and to give them
honest and earnest consideration.
On November II, 1918, it was enough that the
great immediate trouble On November II,
1929 other troubles present themselves. Is there any
real to believe that they, too cannot be ended
II enough and thoughtful and courageous persons
and nations will but make the effort?

Often the buying is legitimate and the credit is

THE SEED OF RADICALISM

Conservative England and conservative America
have often been conrasted in years regarding
their treatment of radicals. Many observers, them
selves untalnted with the radical virus, have proclaim
ed the tolerant British way better, ground that
1t invites less antagonlS return and gives radl
calls less opportunity propaganoIze plea Of
martyrdom.
Now New York and California have revealed a
similar contrast The latter like Michigan and few
other states, has placed ban on Communism 1t mas
thrown citizens into jail for membership in the Com
munst Party New York, the horror of some of her
conservatives, has allowed the Communist Party a
place on the ballot.
The result doesn't show any radical revolution
triumphant in New York. The Communist Party
makes SUCH poor showing in that it gets
Itself laughed at. In California where the Commun-
ISIS are taken seriously there blazing fire re-
sentiment and a vast amount Of undeserved adverts-
ing TOR Communism that 1t seems to be making pro-
greSS there.
Martyrdom is not only the "seed of the church
but the seed of radicalism.
