NEW MACHINE RECORDS
 BIRDS ACTS IN FLIGHT

Paris. R)-Birds are to be made to give up some of their tricks of flying by an instrument present. ed recently to the Academy of Scien ces. It is called an "accelero- graph" and Is attached to a bird g back. On a smoked cylinder three needles record the time of the var ious movements, the variations in speed and the extent of the wing beats.
 The contrivance, devised by Hug uenard and Magnan, two scientists working in aero-dynamics. weighs only two ounces, as compared with 28z pounds for a similar mach inc the same men invented to re- cord wing movements on airplanes.
 Birds always have been stud jed by aviation engineers, but the accelerograph is credited with mak ing it possible to determine with reasonable exactness a birds prin- cipal motions.

Beyond all question the most potent creator business demands in America is the newspaper ad- sertisement. Millions upon millions of dollars are expended every day in the storea of the countr, because well written advertisements have directed public attention convenient. becoming, attractive useful. ornamental and suitable merchandise. The sale of all necessities. all luxuries. all ndulgences is powerfully stimulated by the newspaper ad. vertisement than by any other agency Only hung er cold and nakedness comparable to the adyer tisement a promoter of sales-and even purchases of food. fuel and clothing directed larssly by the business columns of the press than by any other influence except necessity
 The greatest stores in our sreatest cities. have been built largely by their advertising their per sistent and clever invitation the public in the press to share in their bargains Imagine what would happen to daily sales of merchandise real tate, theatre tickets. insurance, books and other things if newspaper advertisements prohibited for six months. by law It is not exaggeration to say they would drop 50 per cent
 It is not the current of events alone that makes the press of such incalcuabls value to the nation, nor the free editorial expression of opinion The business news of the day. told by the business concerns in their announcements to the public de-. cisively influences both volume and the direction of trade which flows to this or that ofhce, or bank This is a fundamental fact no business house can afford to overlook.

Now that the State Highway
Commission has found it pos
sible to act in accordance with
the wishes of the people of
Dover, as expressed at a refer
endum recently, there will Ee
two routes through the town
connecting the dupont Boulc-
ward at the north with the
boulevard at the south. When
the boulevard was built it was
constructed on the line of State
street, the main north and south
thoroughfare through Dover,
and this is now used by all traf-
fic over the boulevard. The re-
sulting congestion in the heart
of the town has made it advis-
able to divert at least some of
the traffic. Two routes were
proposed, one via Governors av-
enue, two blocks west of State
street, and the other just east of
the town. The people were ask
ed to vote their preference. AS a
result 997 ballots were cast for
Governors avenue and 65 for
the outside route. But since
Governors avenue is made part
Smyrna times., 1927-06-29

Of the boulevard a detour will be
necessary, and it is likely that
much Of the traffic will continue
to use State street, while those
drivers who wish to avoid con-
gestion in the heart of the town
will probably use Governors av-
enue. 1t is commendable in the
State Highway Department to
ascertain the wishes of the peo-
pie before proceeding with the
project, which places the respon-
sibility on the town, rather than
on the commission, in addition
to showing a disposition to do
what the community wants
done. At the same time it is
only a matter of the future be-
fore the highway will continue
straight on east of Dover, away
from congested districts, touch
ing the edge of Dover like it
does other towns down State.

Legislation can help agricul-
ture help ITSELF" Governor Nc
Mullen declared in an address
before delegates attending the
convention of the Federation of
Nebraska Retailers at Grand is
land, Nebraska. The governor
declared that the farmer does
not ask the government to step
in and manage his affairs, but
does ask that he be aided in
working out his own problems.
He urged less talk, less thought
less opposition, and above al,
something tried.
Agriculture is not a local in
dustry in which only the people
Of the farming communities are
directly interested" Gov. Nc
Mullen said. 1T is national in
its scope. It represents an in
vestment Of over S8,000,000,000.
In economic matters agriculture
must be taken for what it is,
namely, our basic industry, and
our largest industry. If it can
be helped through legislation as
other industries are helped then
the help should be Forthcoming.
So long as there is a surplus Of
any crops, the surplus must be
sold in competition with world
production, and the world price
received for the surplus is the
price that has been accepted for
the major portion Of the crop.
That il wrong and in every way
is unbusinesslike. It's the tail
Wagging the dog.
Agriculture is not asking
special favors Of the govern
ment and it * not asking the
government To step in and man
Aye the farmers affairs. It
simply wants help to which it il
entitled, the same kind Of help
the government has given in-
dustry, labor and finance. And
there Is another thing agricul-
ture wants: It wants less talk
less criticism, less thoughtles:
opposition and more action. j
wants something tried"
