WHAT GOOD ROADS ARE WORTH

Thousands Of people visited Mnot last Sunday to see
the ships and aviators Of the Reliability Air tour. The
great crowd came quickly and left just as quickly after
getting real thrill from their visit and the opportunity
gave to witness the rapid development Of air trans
portaton
The manner in which the crowd was handled the
speed with which it assembled and the distances it
travelled were tribute to quite another kind Of trans

Less than week after the first car of winter wheat

Chicago market received nearly 1000 cars of wheat
from Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska within the first
week of the harvest. At Kansas City 200 cars day

Pennsylvania, q Federalist elector,
was denounced for voting for JEFF
ferson instead Of Adams. Psnnsyl-
vania had chosen two Federalist cleo
tors; the rest were Jeffersonian Re.
publicans. The vote was so close
that the highest vote any Of the 80
candidates for elector had was 1906
and the lowest 1901.
No elector since Miles has be-
trayed his trust, although efforts
were made to buy electors in the
Hayes Tilden scandal Of 1876.
There are comparatively recent in
stances, however, where the electoral
vote of 4 state has been split. In
1916 West Virginia cast seven cleo
toral votes for Hughes and one for
Wilson. The margin for Hughes VIC
tory in the state was less than 5000.
In 1912 California gave Roosevelt II
and Wilson two; Roosevelt carried
the state by less than 200 votes.
Maryland showed a similar electoral
vote in 1904 and 1909.
When the Populists joined with
the Democrats to elect Bryan in
1896 the Democrats divided electoral
states with them in Is states, where
1877 of the Bryan electors were Dem
ocrats and 70 Populists. In that
year some Of the Populists were for
Bryan and Sewall and some for
Bryan and Watson. Watson was 4
Populist candidate for vice president
and had ~ electoral votes against
Sewall's 149.
Horace Greeley died after his de-
feat by Grant in 1872 before the cleo
toral votes were cast. It made lit
tie difference, but most Of his cleo
tors split UP among other candidates.
Congress rejected three votes which
were still cast for Greeley.
The practice of voting for cleo
tors by districts was abandoned
nearly 100 years ago, although re-
vived for year by Michigan in 1892.
Any legislature may switch back to
it at any time, but they just don't.
Obviously, that method tel.ds to split
the vote to the advantage of one
party and disadvantage of the other.
For awhile some legislatures
picked the electors, but gradually
they surrendered this right to the
people until only Delaware and
South Carolina chose them by legis-
lature vote in 1928. South Carolina
was the last state to give the privi-
lege to the people in 1868.

Washington, July 26.-The Elec-
toral College, which has no college
yell, no faculty, no endowment and
no campus, never was much Of col
lege.
Now it has degenerated into 4
correspondence school.
The Electoral College is the term
applied to the 531 presidential cleo
tors who will be elected on Novem-
Der 6. Under the constitution, we
will then vote for presidential elec-
tors rather than presidential candi-
dates. They are just so much ma
chinery, however, as they are
pledged to vote for candidate in
advance.
Each state is permitted to elect
an elector for each of its senators
and each of it's representatives. Thus
there are two electors-at-large and
one elector from each congressional
district, all elected by statewide vote.
Persons in the service of the United
States are not eligible as electors.
Each candidate will have his own
set Of electors on the ballot. Those
receiving the highest vote automatic.
ally enter the college. In each state
they assemble on the second Monday
in January to vote, which, of course,
is just so much formality. They
transmit their certificates to the
governor. Having gone this far, the
colleges cannot reconvene.
A law passed by the last session
of Congress gave the college its new
correspondence school status. Here
tofore it has been the practice to
send an elector from each state to
carry the vote to the vice president
in Washington.
The new law eliminates that ex-
pensive procedure and the electoral
vote may now be sent by mail, 50
that there isn't any longer even q
trip to Washington to be had out
Of the college.

THE SKIN
(C0nfinnAd1

The second layer Of the skin, which
We learned was the dermis, is COM
posed Of connective Tissues richly
supplied with blood vessels, capillar-
les, lymphatic vessels and nerves.
The surface Of The true skin Just un-
derneAth the epidermis prssents q
curious appearance like little noun
tain peaks, caused by the papillae.
which contain blood vessels for nour-
fishing the dermA and the live cells Of
the outer skin.
Some Of these little peaks or pa
pillAe contain the touch corpuscles.
In some parts Of our akin these touch
papilae are thicker than IN the 9TH
o. parts. They are most thickly
grouped on the end Of our tongue
and next ct the finger tips. We can
distinguish two objects % being sep.
arate, even though they are very
close together. by touching them with
these areas Of our body. In some
spots Of our skin these touch cor
puscles are 50 far apart that two
objects even from one to two inches
apart cannot be distinguished from
single object. II you wish to
prove this, take two Of your fingers
about an inch and half apart and
touch your back. In all probability
you will be unable to distinguish
more than one point Of pressure.
In the lower part Of the dermis
and in the layers Immediately under
the true skin, large quantities Of fat
are stored. This gives the skin q
plump and smooth appearance.
If you examine your skin with q
magnifying glass, you will see large
numbers of small pores or openings
in the skin. These are the mouths
of the sweat glands which are little
tubes composed Of the same kind Of
cells as the epidermis but adapted
for their special function.
A sweat gland tube goes through
the dermis and ends in q little coil
in the dermis or in the subdermal
layer. The functions of these glands
are to cool off the body by producing
perspiration and to discharge waste
products, In some parts of the skin
these sweat glands are very close to-
gether. There are as many as $500
to the square inch. While some per-
spiration is being continually dis
charged through these sweat glands,
the amount is usually so small that
It passes off in vapor without being
noticed, but on a hot day the amount
discharged may be 50 abundant As
to produce heavy beads of sweat. 1t
may be interesting to you to know
that all of the skin structures are
produced by evolving skin cells which
have been grown and developed into
special functions. This includes the
hair, sweat glands, oil glands, and
fingernails.
Brittle fingernails and rough
scaly skin are caused by q lack Of
certain mineral elements in our food
materials, and it is interesting to OBJ
serve the improvement Of the COM
plexion Of the individuals who eat
the right kinds Of food. In fact.
It would be a good plan for all
beauty specialists to become diet

The two houses Of Congress meet

Der to count the electoral vote. The

are brought from his office at the
Senate. Four tellers are appointed,
usually two senators and two repre-
sentatives equally divided as to po-
litical Affiliation.
They read the certificates from
the states in alphabetical order, ro-
tatinR from one teller to another.
Someone soon arises and obtains
unanimous consent to dispense with
further certificate reading, where
after only the results are announced.
Then they tabulate the result and
pass it along to the presiding Off
Ger, who announces that So and So,
the fellow who has received the
most electoral votes, has been elect
ed president Of the United States,
with somebody else % vice president.
Then they proclaim as much in the

The electors are state officers.
The electoral system was devised as

arguments against direct popular
