Words and Sentences
Spoken Through Hands

II the researches Of q we'll
known scientist are carried to a
successful conclusion, new meth
Cd Of communication may be
evolved, in which the hands will be
made to speak words and sentences
In exactly the same way as the
mouth does.
The scientist in question is Sir
Richard Paget, who, with the aid
of bellows and q metal tube, which
take the place of the lungs and
windpipe, has made his hands
speak" words In remarkably nat
ural way. In the course Of q dem
onstration, Sir Richard explained
that vocal sounds are produced by
the action Of air passing over the
opening Of cavity; he illustrated
this by models made of plasticine
and cardboard. BY supplying air
to these models he made them ut
ter vowel sounds and even words,
such as mamma" Minnie" '.rath-
err" and well"
Then, discarding the models, he
used his hands only, and made them
talk" so that every one could hear
and understand. Moistening his
hands to prevent the leakage Of air,
he manipulated them In contunc-
ton with a metal tube and made
them say, distinctly, "Hullo, Lon
don! Are you theref Lila, love
you"

Primitive Place of
Worship for Indians

What Is believed to be the most
primitive church in the world is to
be found In San Diego county,
southern California.
1t Is known as the Santa Isabel
mission, and is used by the Indians
OF the district. The church Is built
of brushwood. The entrance is Of
fected by climbing a rude ladder
placed against the low side walls.
Two bells are suspended from q
cross beam in front Of the church,
and rude cross Of pine has been
erected upon a small leveled sur
face, which Is utilized for open

City, Village Folks Pay
One-half Rural Road Cost
Present Plan Makes All Highway
Users Share in Expense,
Babcock Shows

Residents of the cities and vii
lagos in Minnesota pay half the
cost of building rural roads in
Minnesota, C.. M. Babcock, state
highway commissioner, said in a
speech at Duluth at the celebration
to mark the opening of the pave
ment on Highway No. / between
st. Paul and Duluth.
OF the 630,285 automobiles and
trucks registered in Minnesota in
1926, Mr.. Babcock said, 187,845
were owned by farmers. This an
average of a little more than one
to farm, but it is only 80 per
cent of all the motor vehicles in
the state. The remaining 10 per
cent are owned by people in the
cities and villages. But due to the
fact that farm trucks pay license
rate of "a per cent and town
trucks pay 5 to 10 per cent, the
city and village people paid IS
per cent of the license fees. As
Stunning that city and country peo-
pie do the same amount of driving,
the urban car owners pay 20 per
cent of the gas tax. In addition
to this they pay considerable
part of the state aid fund and the
county road and bridge funds.

Electric Refrigeration Is
Becoming Popular in Homes
M. Wernig, Local Distributor of
Frigidaires Enthusiastic Over
Practicability of Ice Making

How quickly the great American
public becomes interested in any
sort of device intended for its
pleasure, comfort and convenience,
has been we'll illustrated during
the fair by the unusual crowds
that have gathered at the exhibits
of electric refrigerators displayed
by M. Wernig & Co., local Frig-
idaire dealer.
"Home comforts still remain up
permost in the minds of most peo-
ple," Mr.. Wernig said in COM
menting upon the usual interest
created by his display. Anything
which makes life more enjoyable
and pleasant is sure to arouse in
terest of the householder. All
types of people have stopped a.
the Frigidaire exhibit, and by theil
conversation plainly indicated thai
interest in this better means OF
protecting the family food has be
come almost universal
A feature of this exhibit, and
one indicating the general trenc
of the industry was a display OF
the latest household model Frigi
daire, selling at the lowest price ir
the history of the business, ant
particularly adapted to the needs
of the family. This particular
model was developed as the re-
suit of many years of research by
Frigidaire engineers, assisted by
members of the General Motors
research staff, of which corpora
ton Frigidaire is a subsidiary.
ELECTRIC refrigeration has
gained its great hold upon public
interest by striking at the heart
of the homes most difficult prob
lem that of food preservation
"Mr. Wernig said. Family health
is dependent upon the condition OF
the food served, and electric re.
frigeration is the most efficient
means of maintaining the fooG
supply in healthful condition.
Mr.. Wernig said that recent in.
PRODUCTION of the Frigidaire low
price model had completely wipee
out class distinction so far as pos
sibility of securing electric refrig
Grafton facilities was concerned.
There is Frigidaire for ever,
purse and family" he said. "Peo
pie stopping at the exhibit were il
many cases surprised at the cas-,
with which it is possible to instol
Frigidaire in their homes.

The town road fund is the only
one paid entirely by tax on farm
property. The above figures do
not include the cost of city and
village streets. A large part OF
these are paid by special assess
ments, and all by residents of the
municipalities.
at is true that some part OF the
cost of paving No. may be paid
by people who never use it, but
that is true of every road" said
Mr.. Babcock. "It would be who'll
ly impractical to have each person
pay for just the road he uses: the
only way that this could be even
appropriated would be through a
complicated system of toll roads:
But we should try to have all road
users pay in proportion to the ben
efts they get, and this | believe
we are doing now. ALI automo-
bile owners, and they alone, con-
tribute to the trunk highways, and
practically all of them use them
more or less, but even the few VINO
never use them benefit indirectly,
nerhaps as much as if they never
used them. 1t is just and fair that
the city car owners should pay a
large part of the cost of the trunk
highways, and also that they
should pay something to the state
aid and county roads. But TO take
anvthing. away from the trunk
highway fund, for use upon local
roads, would not only be unjust TO
those who furnish these funds, but
It would be a wasteful plan Of road
building. Let the trunk highways,
even for a short time, become I'M
passable or inadequate, and the
trunk highway traffic will spread
out on the secondary road, dam
aging or running them. 1t is GER
tain that if there were no trunk
highways the farmers would pay
more for their local roads than
they do now"

pected, the butter receipts are
holding up well.

as compared with 401a a week
ago.
General conditions ON the egg
market during the past week have
been more favorable as receipts
have continued TO decrease and
are falling considerably short of
last year. The buying demand is
especially good for high quality
fresh eggs which are comparative
ly short in supply, and quotations
have advanced accordingly.
The Chicago egg market on
Firsts today is 27-28 cents as
compared with 1921 a week ago.
The New York market is $3.50, an
advance lof two and a half to three
cents compared with last week.
Receipts of live poultry on the
larger Eastern consuming markets

but little change in quotations
