How Many Votes CHANGED

Though no worse than it ever was,
the oil scandal is just beginning to
be understood by the public.
The symptoms are startling.
Nothing has caused such wide
spread and bitter discussion, esre-
cially in the Midwest, since R
welt bolted or since Lodge ms
back-stabbing assault on w
Wilson.
What the farmers will Go, no.
the Mississippi valley feels nd the
part prohibition may plaJ, have
ceased to be the big question marks
on the horizon.
What most people are asking now
is, whether the oil scandal has
changed votes, and how manyG

Of all the graft, corruption and

There comes a time, however,

What is the difference between a
check and a draft?
A check is an order in writing
upon bank or banker for the pay
ment Of a designated amount OF
money to some designated person or
order. A draft is an order drawn
by one party on another for the
payment of money to a third person
usually limited to an order payable
at collectable through a bank or
other financial agency. Another
definition Tor draft is an order for
money drawn by one bank and pay
able at another to the person deSig-
mated in the order.
Does a child weigh more when ii
is asleep than when it is awake?
If a sleeping child seems heavier
it is due to the relaxed condition Of
the muscles. A child awake, when
being carried, assists by holding on
to achieve a comfortable position.
A sleeping child makes no effort to
help itself, and is usually stretched
out in a posture which makes it
difficult to handle conveniently
That is why it seems heavier.
How do scientists know that the
earth is flattened at the poles?
The theory is confirmed by the
fact that the force of gravitation
increases in value from the equator
to the poles, proving that the earth
bulges at the equator and is fiat
tened at the polar regions. A body
weighing 100 pounds at the pole
weighs only 189 pounds at the
equator.
How can 1 find the area of a cir
Gle that is twelve feet in diameter?
BY multiplying pi (3,1416) by the
square Of the radius Of the circle.
Since the radius of the circle is six
feet the area can be found by null
tiplying 3.1416 by 6 by 6.
If a person grasps live trolley
wire with both hands and hangs
suspended in the air will he receive
a shock?
Unless his body comes into con-
tact with the earth either directly or
indirectly, he will not receive a
shock.
How did the population of the
United States in 1926 compare with
that Of 1920?
The census Of 1920 showed a pop
ulation of 106,418,284. The esti-
mated population in 1926 was H.
1887.
Was either the first or second Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson Roman Cath
Olic?
The first Mrs. Wilson was Pres
byterian and the second a member
of the Protestant Episcopal Church.
Why is there restriction upon
the transportation of moving pic
lures OF prize fights?
Congress passed a law, July 81,
1912, prohibiting the interstate
transportation of prize fight films.
What did Dempsey and Sharkey
receive for their fight July Fl, 1927?
Dempsey received $4,000 and
Sharkey, $210,426.
What does the Indian name PO-

How many knockOuts did George

FARM HAS
 BEEN SUCCESSFUL
Alabama System Is Winning
 Great Praise

Atmore. Ala. Nov. @-Less than a year after the abandonment in this state of the convict lease sys- tenn arden c. K. Fountain, of the state prison farm, near here. says he has found accumulative evidence of the wisdom of the move.
 Improvement in health and mo- rale of the prisoners and prospect of early material benefits to the state are among the factors that have convinced the warden. he says, that the state did not err when it removed its prisoners from the coal mines and put them to work for the state.
 Last March the warden and 23 convicts pitched camp on the 3,640 acre tract 10 miles from hero that since has been transformed into an extension prison farm. There are ap- proximately 500 prisoners on the farm now.
 Stump pulling machinery at work. curls of smoke that tell of the burn ing of trash on the broad. cleared lands. mule teams at blows, men em- ployed on drainage ditches and the whir of saws cutting timber for buildings of the prison plant tell a story of the labor being performed. The warden says the men are as happy as can be expected.

Salt Water Hole Seems Bot.
 t0nleSS

Cawker City. kas. Nov. 2 P- There is bit of ocean near the geographical center of the United States.
 On top of . cone-like hill threc miles east of this northern Kansas town Is a pool of salt water, some 30 feet in diameter and 50 deep that not even a sea diver has been able to find its bottom.
 It is known as "Waconda Springs, 7" "Waconda" being an Indian word meaning the great spirit" A cen- tury ago Indians worshipped at the place and they believed the water to have medicinal qualities
 The hill where the water is found rises 50 or 60 feet above the sur rounding terrain. It is believed by some persons to have been 8 small volcano, smothered by subterrean connection with an ocean.
 Some geolosists. however. have ex. pressed the opinion the spring was a geyser that cooled off and settled down. The water never freezes and it keeps the same level in wet and dry seasons. It has . marine odor and color.

MoSQUI1OE HUDE
 SEARCH fl)R YEARS
I!ps Finally Found n P,nam,
 Alter S YeE

Washington. Nov. , R1The story of . species of Anopheles mosquito that eluded expert mosquito hunt CTS in Panama through g quarter century of careful observation ia told in . paper by Dr. H. P. Curry, assistant chief health officer of the Panama Canal. published by the American Society of Tropical Medi- cine.
 New to science. 1t has been given the name Anopheles (Chagasia) bathanus. in honor of its discovered. c. H. Bath, sanitary inspector at Gatun. Although a number have since been captured and studied. pr. Curry is inclined to believe it has little or no importance as a malaria carrier.
 ''So thoroughly have the mosqui- toes of Panama been studied by our own workers and others" he says, that only seldom do we find a neW species to add to the about 140 s-soies now listed. Especially in the last few years have the Anophe- les been watched closely. as each sanitary inspector has compound microscope of adequate power. and practically every specimen that is taken passes under it's lens"
 Mir. Bath found his mosquito as we'll developed larva in a pot hole" in the rocky bed of one of the small streams from the hills above the Agua Clara reservoir, which had been drained only short time before. They apparently breed only in rapid streams and have remark able power of resisting flood and wave and current. The scarcity of such streams near the settled parts of the Canal Zone and the difficulty of reaching them through the jun- gle. even when a trail has been cut. probably accounts for the late dis covery Of the species.

Sap Dust Explosions
 New Industrial Peril

Pittsburgh. Pa, Nov. ?. R-Soap dust explosions are announced as u new industrial hazard by the ex- pertinent station of the United States bureau of mines here.
 The explosive dust is generated during the manufacture of soap dusts and soap flakes. The grow- ing use of dust and flake soaps is given as the reason for the entry of this new menace into factories manufacturing these articles. It is announced by the department of commerce that "certain types of soap dust when suspended in air are more violently explosive than most dusts encountered in indus- try"
 The nature of soap compounds. the department says, might lead one to expect soap dust suspen. sions to be relatively non-explosi- ble. Soap dust suspensions in the air are. however. easily ignited and produce violent explosions accom- panied by much flame and large quantities of heat"

FRENCH USE FILMS

Find That Movies Are Great

Paris. Nov. 2 lF-French scientif- ic movies having taken second place in the worlds first international mo- vie congress. the fine showing has started . campaign among French movie men to put them on a solid basis financially.
 Scientific movies are one means of putting an end to vivisection. argue those who are striving to encourage the industry here. Instead of dis secting new corpse. or killing guinea-pigs and rabbits at each Of their lectures, medical professors can simply show film of the operation. This is foreseen as great aid to students, since the operation may be magnified 10 as to be visible in its minutest phases and 1t may be stop ped for explanation at any moment.
 Hitherto, scientific films have been the result of the toll and devotion of the faculty of medicine at the University of Paris. There has been no vote of credits by the government and no subsidy from commercial
