Record is Political History
Statehouse statisicians running
back over old campaigns records
have just found that there is a
great deal of state political his
tory reflected in the candidacy of
State Auditor C. w. Clausen, who
has been elected to his present of
flee six times. Mr.. Clausen began
running in 1904, the year Roose-
welt swept the state by an I'M
precedented majority. That was
before omen voted but Mr.. Clau-
sen polled 85,261 ballots giving
him a plurality of ADAPT. In 1908
when Taft carried Washington
and only men balloted Mr.. Clausen
had 110,211 and a 54,279 plurality
Equal suffrage came before the
campaign of 1912 but that also
was the year of the Republican
split when the Democrats carried
Washington for President and
Governor and Bull Moose nomi-
nees crowed close for minor state
offices. Mr.. Clausen's vote shows
the narrow escape of several Re-
publicans. He polled 1910 votes
and had a plurality of 1850. The
Democrats presidential and CUB
ernatorial tickets again on in 49,
16 but Clausen's vote .crept up t.
1S1 ,95S and his plurality to 80, 693.
Then the auditor seems to have
buckled down to the business of
rolling up majorities for he got
226,66S votes in the Harding land
slide of 1920 hich Melted him a
plurality of 125, APO. In 1924 he
stepped out still stronger with
235, 673 votes and 1S2,05S MAORI
ty. In fact Mr.. Gausen's 1924
majority was greater than his 20.
tai vote of 1916. His best gains
were made since women got the
ballot.

vera Cruz

Vera Cruz has the unique record
OF having been twice captured by
American forces, once in 1916 when
We were at war with Mexico. and
again in 1917, when we were not at
war with Mexico. However, all we
seem to do with it after we get it
is to give it back again, SO its citi-
zens probably feel little worried at
the vicissitudes of war. Indeed,
they have recently raised a statue
in honor Of the noble defenders of
Vera Cruz against the gringoes,
which shows that they feel they
are adequately protected.

NEW ORLEANS. La. November 22.--
To q simple copper object hammered out
by a Chinese coppersmith in 1876 BIC.
has been traced the origin OF the
SeiSmograp ph. that delicate scientific ap-
paratuS that records and charts earth
quakes.
Rev o. L.. Abel, seismologist at Lo-
yola University here, says that recent
research has disclosed such an instru-'
ment was in use more than 1000 years
age
This original seismograph. as wrought
BY the Chinese coppersmith, was de-
scribed as practical as well as unique.
the 'Simplicity of its design affording an
interesting contrast to the complicated
modern device.
II consisted of a pendulum suspended
within hollow copper sphere. The
pendulum was free to move. in eight
directions, and on the outer surface
Of the globe corresponding to these di-
rections. appeared eight dragon heads.
In the throat of each was a small ball
which fell when an earth tremor caused
the pendulum to swing.
Located at VARYING points on the
sphere also were the upturned mouths
of frogs, and the ball. upon being dis
lodged from dragons mouth. fell into
one of these. Thus. II the ball was
forced from the southeast side of the
instrument and fell into the mouth of
frog on the northwest. it was deduced
that the shock came from the south
east, proceeding in the direction taken
by the ball
The present Seismograph was devel-
oped about 40 years ago as the result
of the efforts of five English scientists
Gray. Perry, Milne. Shaw and Knott.

Instead of standing with the weight
on the bottom this pendulum has the
weight on top and reacts to earth
movements not by the motion of the
pendulum itself. but by the relative mo-

SPOKANE, November 22.-To

Romans. manager of the Pacif1c
Northwest Potato Growers Asso-
ciation, told the delegates yes
terday that potato, or. rather,
several day. would make women
grow slender and men grow
stronger: likewise would keep the
doctor away.
The old notion that potatoes
should be tabooed by those seek
ing slenderness has been dissipat-
ed by scientific discovery, he said.
"A leading food authority has de-
clared that If the average Amer
can would eat four or five times
AS many potatoes as he nov eats,
the result would be marked In
crease in physical fitness and
freedom from crippling Illnesses.
The false theory. he said, was
causing huge losses to potato
growers unable to dispose of sur
plus crops.
