THE
VERY IDEA!
By Hal Cochran


Says I to myself, well, today is
the day to get a real rest in a SEN
sible way. I'll tune up the car and
I'll take all my gang, an I'll let
all the worry and such things so
hang.
Course the kids and the wife are
all glad to agree, so they pile in the
bus in a hurry, an gee, the thought
of trip in the out-of- doors bright
is the sort of an outing that just
hits me right.
We ramble along on a wonderful
street and I'm dodgin' the millions of
autos we meet. The traffic is wild
and it shortly appears that the buzz
ing and honking will deafen my
ears.
We seek for a roadway where
traffic is tame, but shucks, all the
others are dom the same. An IN
travelled highway Fate laughs in
my face, and 1 fipd, like all drivers,
there Is no such place.
We finally get home and I smile
when 1 think how the plans for a
rest-up have gone on the blink. My
nerves are on edge and my eyesight
is spent I'm a blamed sight more
tired than 1 was when 1 went.
The largest room in the world is
the one for improvement.
Hurrah, They're not going to have
guns any longer in the American
army. They're long enough.
One of the most common things
that is rather uncommon is good
common sense.
The rooster has heap of nerve.
just think, and you won't doubt it.
The hen will lay an egg and then
The rooster crows about it.

DANGER POSTPONED
Muscle Shoals for the time being is saved

Muscle Shoals for the time being is saved.
That seemed certain Thursday following an
nouncement in Washington of an adjournment pro-
gram by the Senate steering committee. Muscle
Shoals was not included in the list of bills on
which the committee recommended immediate ac-
ton. Government operation advocates accepted the
program as indicating that unless something I'M
foreseen develops the Administration has definitely
abandoned its plan to lease away the peoples $780,
100000 property at this session.
However, President Coolidge is ambitious to
force the pending lease bill to vote eventually dis
patches relate. And it officially stated that he
is favor of the bill despite the unusual agitation it
has precipifated in the Muscle Shoals region and else
where.
The bill proposes that Muscle Shoals be leased
for fifty years to thirteen Southern power companies

RIVAL CITIES

Why not make indianapolis third entry in the
unique contest proposed by Cincinnati and Cleye-
land?
Those two cities are proud of their city gov
eminent and so pleased with results that one mas
challenged the other to definite comparison as TO
which has really done the most Tor us people
in the past six months.
One points to reduction of tax rates, an IN
creased efficiency of the street department. petter
service from police reduction of crime.
The other points with pride to municipality
operated plants for light to a great airport TO
business management in which no tribute is paid
to politicians and suggestion of favoritism or pull
is to be found in the handling of city contracts or
the activities of the police.
Each one has done much for the people 1t
serves that they are not matching faults but COM
pairing good deeds
Just what would Indianapolis have to offer If
some one had the temerity to suggest that it also
narade it's official record since the first day of Jan
uary and claim the blue ribbon for service to the
people?
What would Mayor Duvall offer to make the PED
ple of this city glow with pride of achievement?
Would he say that the police department is be-
yond control of politicians that its officers do not
temper their justice with fine wisdom of the will
of political boss that the law is enforced with even
hand?
Would he even dare to say that officers have not
been iuggled about and denoted and promoted at the
suggestion of politicians?
Would he point to better paved streets and the
handling of contracts on the same basis that
great corporation handles it's affairs?
Could he point to better service and lower cost
to the people and the elimination of politics from
the actual operation of the government?
Would he call attention to his park board and
give the real reasons for putting relative on that
board?
Would he like the Nation to rejoice with him
in making city government a family affair?
Perhaps some of his supporters may have sug-
gestions as to why Indianapolis is better governed
city than these two Ohio cities which are getting
better service and reducing their taxes.
They may believe that the way to run city is
to have boss in the background who is not in
politics for his health.
Factories looking for sites take notice of tax
rates and efficiency of city government.
These two Ohio cities have strong argument
for new industries when they point with pride
to low taxes and good public service.
Both of them have the city manager form Of
government. That is why they are able to cut the
cost of politics from municipal budgets.
The best way to get that million population Is
to copy the method which makes these cities proud
of their government
city manager government in indianapolis
would eliminate the unseemly incidents which make
the people of this city blush while those of cities
which are so governed puff up with pride.
That form of government ought to be adopted
soon before the Legislature meets and at the behest
of bosses destroys the law which makes it possible.

bought any votes or disposed of the
fund in illegitimate ways, but If he
didn't it takes a lot of money to
run for Senator these days.
How could poor man or even
a moderately well-to-do man afford
to do it, add if he couldn't, where
have we arrived?
We pass laws limiting campaign
expenses, but keep up system that
calls for about 50 much mail. So
much travel. so much band music
and so much whoop-la.
+. If a candidate is able to take the
necessary cash out Of his own peck
ct, we look upon it as a proof that
he is too rich.
If he accepts contributions from
the big boys, we look upon it as
a proof that he will work in their
interest.
The only alternative, unless he is
willing to take chances with a
moneyless campaign, is to call for a
lot of small donations and that is
hard on poor folks.

BELL HELPS TOWN
KEEP A CHECK ON
FORD CAR SALES

Every time Ford car is sold in
Brookhaven, Miss, the whole town
knows it. For, in a vacant lot adjoin-
ing the property of the Laird-Day
Motor Company a large bell has been
fixed on top of tower and each time
car is sold, the salesman pulls the
bell cord
This clarion sales record has become
fixture in the daily life of Brook
haven. Clerks in the various business
houses speculate as to the next days
count and almost everyone in town
is virtually keeping books on Ford
Sales.
One prominent hardware store adj
vertised that it expected to sell
stove for every peal of the "Ford bell"..
With the advent of the Ford price re-
duction, however the vicinity of the
Ford sales room resembled the we'll
remembered Afmistice Day and at last
reports stoves were running none-to-
close second.

ANSWERS

[Mr. Sherrell will be glad to help
you solve your radio problems. Write
him in care of this paper.]
Gil. S. H. asks: "How do radio
compass stations find the position of a
ship station?"
Ans.-Two of the radio compass
stations using loop antenna receivers
tune in on the ship station, turning
their loops until the station is receiv-
ed the loudest. The stations then
accurately record the directions in
which their loops are pointing. Lines
drawn on map from the respective
positions of the compass stations in
the directions indicated by their loops,
will intersect at the point on the map
which represents the ship station. The
position of the point is then transmit
ted to the ship station.

must the condensers be in the filter

Cheaper Metallic ThOrium to Aid Radio

A new metal Of immediate value
and vast possibilities has been added
to the worlds technical resources in
the form of pure metallic ductile thor
ium, it was reported recently at the
exposition of Chemical Industries in
New York City by DR.. H. C. Rent
schiller and DR.. ]. W. Marden.
Thorium is of particular interest to
the active constituent of practically all
radio tube filaments 1t can now be
produced commercially in Elementary
form, while heretofore it has been
used only in combination with tung-
stem, it was said.
In addition to its use in radio tubes,
this metal is of extreme Importance to
the medical profession as target ma
terial for X-ray tubes, being much
more efficient than the tungsten now
in use, it was pointed out.
by utilizing the new metal in these
targets" said DR.. Rentschler, "tubes
producing about $3.50 more radiations
may be made, and the characteristic
radiations from thorium give much
deeper penetration in Xray therapy
than do those from tungsten. This
deeper penetration is of much import
ance in the treatment of cancer"
Metallic thorium produced by Doc
tors Rentschler and Marden, has been
manufactured in research laborator
les on commercial scale in the form
of rods, cold-worked wire, filament,
ribbon, bars, discs, turnings and in
powdered form, so that it can be made
in any shape in which it could possibly
be used. This will greatly add to it's
adaptability in radio.
