THEY FLOCKED TO HOOVER!

At the national Republican convention, delegates
from the different states were grouped under ban
ners declaring their state in each particular case
and with Arizona this proved very handy arrange
ment otherwise, by looking at the vote first bal
lot for Hoover on which ballot all Of the Arizona del
egates voted for Sir erbert an onlooker might easily
imagine that the Arizonans really belonged with the
California crowd
Arizona never had worse enemy, as regards the
Boulder Dam, than this same Erbert Oover, but the
Republicans from the baby state flocked to his stand
ard apparently just to be with the majority of the
crowd These delegates once before supported the
Hoover adherents and later claimed it was gross
mistake, and they misunderstood the question Won
der what explanations they will make to he farmers,
The stock raisers all opponents Of the Boulder Dam
proposition when they return to their home stations
They surely cannot claim that they again misunder
stood AS to claiming it was mistake, it was probab-
|y mistake to send the men which were sent from
this state by the c. 0. P.
twas apparently another case Of the big boss
es telling the little would-be bosses that they must do
thusandso, and the little fellows followed like sheep
Now have the spectacle Of Arizona's representa-
tives voting soldly for Hiram Johnson's right hand
man in the Boulder matter, Hoover
Which makes it that much easier for the Demo-
cratic candidate in this state at least And this state
is one of forty eight. Tucson independently

Washers" Worsted by:
Girls Clever Scheme

Piftsburgh's young women have
various ways : Of dealing with
"masherS," asphalt arabs," or
whatever the species may be called.
They are not lacking in the art of
refusing unsolicited ice cream So
das or buggy rides. But this little
tale is handed on for what ii may
be worth in an emergency.
The two girls had been visiting
in a rather lonely neighborhood
and were walking to their homes.
The street was deserted except for
two men behind them. After q
time of. doubts and apprehensive
shivers, the young women realized
that they were being followed.
They hastened their steps, but to
40 avail. Gradually the pursncrs
gained and at last were almost
within speaking distance. The
young women were at a loss as to
what to do. Suddenly one raised
her hands towards the other and
began making strange gestures
The other one did the same.
AT this unusual procedure the
men stopped in their tracks and
stared. Then they turned and re.
traced their steps. Neither, ap-
parently, knew the sign language
of the deaf
Neither did the young women,
who continued in giggling triumph
to their homes.-Pittsburgh Post,

Trace All Alphabets /,
to Symbolic Pictures

While printing, of course, has
unlocked the intelligence of the
world, still even before printing
there were records and communica.
tiOnS. At first, these merely con;
sisted of pictures. Then the pic
lures we're arranged in series so
that there was narration. Next,
through use, these pictures became
symbols. that is. they were given
phonetic value. For example,
the circle which the Egyptians
used to represent the sun, in time
became symbol.
1t was the AsSyrians, however.
who were first to take these vari
GUS symbols and give them arbi
trary values phonetically. They
were still pictures, but they con
veyed sounds.
Thus was formed the basis of all
alphabetS. Roman. Hebrew, Greek,
Russian, Turkish. Armenian and
Arabic. Different these may seem.
hut all can be traced back to the
common origin.
Take the letter "a" of today. In
the Phoenician-Assyriac alphabet
that letter represented OK and was
designated by conventional ox's
head. The Greeks took 1t and
turned 1t upside down, refined IT
and made it more graceful. In
Hebrew. the word Beth Is very
common. Originally. 1t was an up.
right rectangle with a cross stroke
In the center. In other words. o
drawing of house, which is what
1t means in Hebrew. Now the old
rectangle with the corners rounded
is b.. that also being due to Greek
influence; the Greeks favoring the
curved line Of beauty rather than
the rigid rectangle.a

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY

The 1923 political campaign is unlike any we
have seen in long time in that fer the first time IN
years the Democratic party appears TO be pretty well
united fractional strife appears TO have been almost
entirely eliminated
This speaks well for the party and it means one
thing-Democratic victory at the November election.
Dssension in the ranks two years ago contributed
more than any other thing to defeat of number
of Democratic candidates.
Not only is harmony prevailing locally but it is
also more in evidence III state and national Democra-
tic ranks this year than any time in the past decade
If Gov Hunt is candidate for reelection, and we be-
lieve he will be- there will not be strong Anti Hunt
faction fighting him In the past he has been fought
bitterly by members of his party but those Dem
ocrats know it's useless to wage such battle again
and they are reconced to the fact that the Governor
is unbeatable
Nationally the Democratic party will present a
united 'front.' and not divided party the case
four years ago following the thMcAdoo feud in
New York City. Gov. Smith already has almost e.
IOugh votes to win him the nomination at Houston
with the prospects that he will get the nomination
without bitter fight to stir up trouble in Democra
tic ranks.
All along the line from President down to the
smallest precinct office there is every indication that
Democracy will win out in November, and this is due
to the absence of bitter personal feeling that existed
heretofore in county, state and national Democrats
circles.

Horned Owl Causes
Lights To Go Out

One large horned owl gummed up
the works for the Montana Power
company when he lit on a pole about
two miles from Harlem on the line
between the agency and Harlem. The
lights along the line went on and off
several times and then quit entirely.
Great Falls tested and located the
trouble east of Harlem, so J. D. Car
negie of Harlem and Frank Hromas
of Malta were started out to hunt
the trouble. By routing out Ole Moen
at Dodson, Great Falls found that the
trouble was between Harlem and
Dodson.
Carnegie found the trouble two
miles out. The story was read from
the charged pole, the vanished tie
wire, the broken main wire and the
big horned owl which lay at the
foot of the pole. Pausing to rest on
his nocturnal prowl Mr.. Owl had
alighted with his foot touching the
bolt which tied the cross pieces to
the stay pieces, these connecting with
the ground wire.

SHORT WAVE LENGTHS BRING
NEW PROBLEMS

The sudden realization of the value
of short wavelengths for transmitting
purposes, has brought about an UNI
expected demand for licenses on these
wavelengths. The value of these bands
was most fully brought out in the In
ternational Radio Conference at Wash
ington, D. c.
Although the United States and
Canadian delegates to the Internation-
al Radio Conference were very ia
vorable to the amateur operators, the
delegates of the remaining seventy
odd countries We're inclined to exclude
them entirely and take their wave
lengths for other purposes. The final
result is that by international agree
ment the amateurs are still allowed
to operate, but on very restricted
wavelengths and with numerous other
limitations which are very dishearten-
ing, to say the least.
The short waYelengths have brought
new national problems also, which
are causes of concern on the part of
the radio commission. Hundreds of
applications have been submitted for
permits authorizing the construction
of short-wave radio transmitters.
These mainly come from heavy users
of American communication facilities
seeking to adopt radio as an economi-
cal and efficient means of carrying
their domestic word traffic.
Seek Own Short-Wave Stations
Notable among the applicants are
newspaper services and commercial
concerns which annually expend ire
mendous sums for telegraph services.
Primarily, their object is to economic
on tolls by operating short-wave radio
stations of their own. Large sums
could be saved. they estimate because
the installation and upkeep of such
stations would be small compared with
amounts they spend regularly for
telegraph services.
Due to this large demand, the short
wavelength channels have become al
most as crowded as those used for
broadcasting.
The expressed policy of the COM
mission has been not to assign short
waves to any more stations for point
to-point services where wire services
are available. These newly developed
waves, applicants have been told,
must be saved for irreplaceable uses
for aids to aerial navigation, for ex-
ample, as well as for marine, beacon
and amateur services, which are given
first recognition in the international
ALLEGATIONS of bith long and short
waves under the Washington conven-
ton of 1927.
