Weather. A MsssSEYiSs On
THE HELM AND BAR

When an east wind is blowing
and a long roll of cloud appears
along the ridge of the CrosSfell
range, in the English Lake coun-
try, people Whereabouts say. THE
helm is on" With the appearance
of the "helm" a furious blast rushes
down the western slope. This is the
"helm wind" 1t is strong enough
to break trees, overthrow stacks Of
grain, blow a horseman from the
saddle, or overturn a cart.
TO the leeward of the helm, ct a
distance of from half a mile to
three or four miles, the flowing
stream of air rises in a secondary
wave, and at its crest another mass
of cloud is formed. This is called
the "bar."
Both helm and bar are due TO the
cooling of moist air by ascent arr
expansion and the consequent con-
densation of moisture, THE wind"
says DR.. w. j. Humphreys, de
Elected in a great wave over the
mountain, rises in a series Of de-
creasing pillows beyond, like the
waves or rifles in a river due to
ledge of rock or other obstruction
on the bottom" When the cloud
formed over the summit of the
mountain is heavy, the crest of the
first and largest wave to the lee
ward is likely to be clouded. and
sometimes a smaller cloud forms
over the next wave. Humphreys
calls the clouds thus formed in the
lee of mountain rifle clouds"
OF the phenomenon as seen on
the Crossfell an English writer
says: Neither the helm nor the
bar are separate or detached clouds.
but may be rather said to be the
bold, clearly defined fronts Of bodies
of cloud extending eastward beyond
the helm and westward from the
bar" The space between them is
an elongated ellipse, at the ends of
which the two clouds join

now they know the facts. Dean Coulter has
pointed their clear and plain duty.
What will they do now? Where will they
stand in an hour when they are appealed to by
so leading citizen to hold aloft the torch OF
liberty and take leadership in their party.
They have a magnificent opportunity, such
opportunity as comes to few editors and
never before in this State.
Why not a concerted demand of the Re-
publican editors for a special session of the
Legislature to investigate all the facts and act
Why not a demand that no statute of
limitations be permitted to continue men in
office who have disgraced and betrayed the
State?
Why not request to the Republican or
ganization that it call the Legislature together
to discover the truth of that charge made by
The Times that Ed jackson, then Secretary of
State, called upon Governor McCray with an
offer of $4,000 for attorneys fees and pledge
of immunity if he would deliver the prosecuting
attorneyship of this county to the tender
mercies of George v Cofin2
Here is something concrete and definite that
they can do. Will those editors who cheer
the high idealism of Dean Coulter actY

out faltering9

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Aug. l.
When the first bottle cap was made
in this town 40 years ago no one
recognized it as marking the advent
of a new industry, much less an
ocean of belly wash in which to
drown old John Barleycorn.
The Bernardin Company now
makes one million caps day, which
is significant when you remember
every cap means a bottle full of
some kind of fluid and that, besides,
there are 100000 soda fountains,
more or less, to Stake the thirst of
this dry nation.
Wayne B. Wheeler and his asso-
ciates owe much to soda pop.
Prohibition would have been ad-
journed a decade or so, if not in
definitely, but for the root beer,
coca cola, lemon phosphate and
other decoctions we have learned to
swig.

Blown bubbles of idealism, cou-
pied with an unexpected season of
prosperity, have served to put this
Nation in one of the lowest states
OF mentality it ever suffered AS
a people, we have been content to
weste our time and energy shouting
at imaginary red devils.
With wide open. eager eyes for
everything that occurred at Mos
cow, or that could be connected
with Moscow we have remained alb
solutely blind to what occurred at
home.
Those who wanted to deceive
cheat and steal could have asked
no better screen. Each and every
one of them has egged us on to
hunt radicals, while picking our
pockets.

JOHN GILBERT is
PRESENTED AS CRISTO

The story that has enthralled all
its readers and made them dream
of wealth and position has been
"reissued' again, this time with
John Gilbert in the title role and
most admirably supported by Renee
Adoree of 1.-THE Big Parade" fame.
and Estelle Taylor, wife of the ex-
heavyweight champion, Jack Demp-
sey. All of the intrigue and splen-
dor of the novel, 1.-THE Count of
Monte Cristo," by Alexander Du-
mas. has been retained in Monte
Cristo," now on view at the Ohio
Theater.
John Gilbert plays the part of
Edmond Dantes, a sailor boy, and
later the Count of Monte Cristo.
Gilbert's playing is superb, and his
makeup, especially as the aged
count, is very good. He has caught
the spirit of the role and really
seems to live the part of the count.
It is regrettable that Renee
.Adoree does not have a bigger part
to play, but the little French girl
u(l1neananders with what she has.

AS between Stephenson and
crooked politicians who fed out of

glad to see him put away for life
because of what he knew, his con-
vlction may have been unjust. AS
between him and society, it was not.
He prayed on the prejudices of
well-meaning people to the injury
OF fellow men; he corrupted the

mold; he destroyed the character of
weak officials by threatening them

played the part of beast.

The American Legion In France

splendid idea was that of Vice President Dawes
suggested last night in speech before the Mississippi
department Of the American Legion at Greenville.
"It will be but few weeks now before the Amer
lean Legion leaves for France" he said The great
French people await with outstretched arms
their American comrades of the great war. We are
told that from their cases in the Invalides they
preparing to take their most precious heritage
from the war-save, and alone, the graves of their
dead-the stained and shelltorn battle flags which
will be carried at the head of the procession of the
veteran American soldiers
1.-THE chain under the Arch of Triumph will be
unclasped. and under it the columns of the Legion
will march past the grave of the unknown soldier
the shrine of the French people"
And, our veterans pass under that great arch,
past the tomb of Frances unknown beneath, Vice
President Dawes suggests that each Legonnare drop
4 single flower upon that tomb.
1t is that kind Of gesture that the French people
love. Extremely sensitive, they quick respond
to every delicate sentiment of this nature just as they
quick to be hurt things which most Of us
would consider of little consequence.
The great war has never to this day ceased to be
for the French of the greatest tragedies of all
time. France today is still house of mourning Out
of population of 100000, the Vice President
pointed out, she suffered casualties amounting to
100000, about IS per cent of that population.
Every family was touched, and heavily.
Thus to the French reunions of war veterans are
memorial affairs, solemn gatherings to pay tribute
to those who died Our reunions are different only

casons of mixed emotions-a time for to our

the great sacrifice.
Our Legionnaires, holding their reunion overseas,
will strive for happy combination of the ways of
France and the ways of America. And the Vice
Presidents suggestion, if carried out at the begin
ming Of their stay, will go long way toward making
their pilgrimage success.
