History Fails to Reneat

Certain professional politicians who pav notifies for
profit have been attempting once again to tie things
up to bring about deadlock and then to get together
as they did in 1920 select their dark horse pledge him
to their campaign and put him over
That's what the draft-Coolidge talk has meant r.
explained what happened in the New York delegation
yesterday afternoon. 1t has been he Ohio gang idea
in new guise.
Such gang has made pretense of friendship for
Coolidge 1t has talked of drafting him. But it has
known that he can not be drafted And it has known
that Hoover should be beaten it would not be Cool
ldge who would be nominated. What has been wanted
has been another bedroom conference and another
dark horse.
10 those who play politics for profit, nothing is so
desirable as dark horse for it makes possible the
selection of man who will stand hitched.
And so back of all the scenes, back of all the mill
ing and the talking and the DOPE has been that sin
lister purpose of selecting some one who can be con-
troled
What does dark horse mean? 1t means that the
leading candidates out of it, And it means that
those who put them out in power.
Being in power then they can get together where
they please in whatever hotel room they please They
can call in whomever they please and offer him the
highest office in the world if he will accept their terms
Out of such situation grew the greatest era Of
pOuGlCdl corruption IN our Nations history.
And now, eight years later the same vicious setup
has gone out that the President has spoken thus pre-
venting further misuse of his name by the drafters
Hurried midnight conferences by bosses failed to agree
a dark horse.
Following that, Mellon and others are reported to
have swung to Hoover. If this is true, it probably
insULas Hoover's nomination an early ballot
thanks largely to the publicity given to the gang and
its game.
Hoovers victory would be fortunate for the country
though would be much pleasing to this news

Flying creatures seem peculiar to
summer, at least in northern coun-
tries. Birds appear in great num-
bers; gnats and mosquitoes and flies
swarm. The birds, of course, come
from warmer regions, to which they
return during the first cold spell Of
autumn.
But what of flies, particularly the
house fly that buzzes about the
kitchen one day in June and is so
soon followed by myriads of des-
cendants?
For long time his winter quar-
tiers were somewhat of a mystery.
Apparently all the flies died when
cold weather came and then sprang
to life spontaneously in the spring.
When scientists began to study
flies with view to controlling them
because they had been found to
carry disease germs, they discovered
that there was no mystery at all.
Flies pass through three stages
from egg to fly. During the second
of these the fly is inside a hard
reddish-brown capsule called a pu-
parium. Usually the pupa becomes
fly within four or five days. But
when cold weather kills all the flies,
the. pupa is able to live inside its
shell, remaining inactive, but ready
to change into fly as soon as the
warm sunshine Of spring reaches it.

Labor at Conventions

There arrives in Kansas City dignifed delega-
ton to wait on the resolutions committee of the Re
publican national convention. 1t is composed of
quiet sturdy-looking of middle age or more,
seeming sure of themselves and their purpose
This purpose is to obtain the inclusion in the Re-
publican platform of views similar to their
the subject of labor and capital and labor and the
Government. Week after next the delegation
will present itself beofre the resolutions committee
of the Democratic national committee.
This is organized labor in action-in one form of
action at least the form it prefers to take the
form surely most acceptable to all interests concerned
To the degree that organized labor is effective in
thus counselng with the countrys political leaders,
the necessity for the use of other methods-such
strking-is minimzed., For that reason it is to be
hoped that organized labor, its aims and its needs
may be given serious and sympathetic consideration
at both national conventions.
Labor's suggestions scarcely radical.
The manner in which antitrust legislation has
been diverted from its plain purpose and made to

Labor. It is asked that present statutes so be

Radio still is in the plaything
age, a stage that most revolutionary
inventions must pass through.
If they did not do a lot of useless
scampering as kittens, cats would
never be able to catch mice, and If
we did not make radio interesting
to vast numbers of people by en-
tertaining them, we never could
prove its capacity for more sub

One can not help WONDERING

ing us, or where it will end. It GER
tainly has brought US to different
way of living and a different sense
of values.
The old-fashioned home that
virtually was self-sustaining has
given place to pay calls. If VIC
wished to see neighbors or friends
we now pick up the telephone ana
where we used to trek to the the
aterS, we now sit in the parlor and
listen to the radio.
Through it all, there stands the
law of compensation, the balancing
force, which cures by one innova
ton the ills produced by another.
Thirty year, ago we thought the
railroads would bind us all to rigid
use and schedules. Now we are
alarmed over the thought that ALL
tomobiles may make travelling tor
easy and promiscuous.
Five or six years ago we all were
worrying lest the automobile would
make young people forget what
their homes looked like.
Now we are worrying lest broad
casting keep them in too much
Those who allow themselves tc
become alarmed over this or that
new way of doing things should re-
member that human ingenuity is
still at work and that any situation
which needs readjusting, any con-
dltion which seems unwholesome
furnishes it not only an an opportu-
nifty, but an incentive.
If our intelligence has the mis-
fortune to make more room for
vicious tendencies at times. let Il.
not forget that it has power to cor
rect the fault, and that the same
ability which produces vehicles ct
nonsense can convert them into

tons were traced out in the sky long, long time
ago. Nobody knows how long ago. AS far back as
records of history take u.s. find the heavens di-
vided into consultations.
All Of the ancient nations INDUCED in the practice
of devsing consultations. The system which we use
today has come down to from the Greeks by way
of the Romans.
The first complete description catalog of the
consultations which know of, made by a
Greek scientist who lived in the year $40 B. G. HQ
name was Eudoxus He was one of the most brilliant
of Greek scholars. Besides being astronomer, he
~"es a mathematician, physicist and student of
Government affairs.
Eudoxus described forty-1ve consultations in his
catalog We know this in spite OF the fact that the
original catalog has been lost.
The reason we know it is because just 100 years
later, Greek physician who happened also to be a
poet, wrote poem titled "Phanomena" This is a
Greek word which can be translated appearances
or phenomena" The poet-physcian named
Aratus.
In his poem, Aratus recounted the system of con-
stellationS as cataloged by Eudoxus. The poem was
later translated into Latin on several occasions, once
by the famous Cicero, whose acquaintance most of
made during high school study of Latin.
In about 139 B. c. there lived a famous astron-
omer and mathematician in Alexandria, Egypt. His
Ptoemy. He wrote book known as the
"Almagest, which used as a textbook of astron-
omy and mathematics for succeeding centuries until
far into the Middle Ages.
In this work. Ptoemy added three new constella-
tons to those of Eudoxus, making total of forty
eight Only slight changes have been made in the
consultations of the northern hemisphere from that
day to this.

Yes, indeed, the radio business
has grown to a proportion where 1t
feels the need of a convention with
no less than 300 manufacturers and
two or three hundred jobbers and

music of scientist, inventor and eX-
ploiter of new ideas.
AS might be expected 1t is COM

Business no longer is a drab,
routine affair. 1t requires the spirit
of youth, as never before, to keep
step with the improvements and
innovations which have come to
play a leading part in it.
Those Who think the young mec
and women of this generation lack
seriousness, vision to take aovan

age to gamble with fate, should
visit a convention of this kind. Most
Of these boys-and that is what

LODGE-POLE PINE

WTHEN the western Indians
w needed poles to hold. up their
tepees and lodges they sought the
tall and straight lodge-pole pine,
and from this use the slender tree
took its name.
1t is one of the important timber
trees of the Rocky Mountain re-
gion, and forms the principal forests
in the Black Hills.
A large proportion of the lodge
pole pine cut is used for mine tim
bers, particularly in the metal and
coal mines of Montana. Ever since
the first transcontinental railroad
was built across the Rocky Noun
tains lodge-pole pine has been used
for cross-ties. The wood can be
easily treated with preservatives.
Locally, lodge-pole pine lumber is
used for general construction, and
in some instances for flooring, sid
ing and finish. The wood is straight
grained, fairly soft and is easily
worked. 1t is more resinous than
eastern white pine, but less so than
the yellow pines of the South and
West.
Lodge-pole pine yields a ground
wood pulp of good quality, suit
able for the manufacture of news
print paper. A considerable amount
of the wood is used locally as fuel.
At one time large quantities we're
made into charcoal, but the indus
try hass fallen away since the in
PRODUCTION of coke.
The lodge-pole pine never grows
to any great size, and because of its
rigid form with stiff branches point
ing upward, it is not a particularly
beautiful tree.
Indians use the sap Of the lodge
pole pine, which is sweet and has
a sort Of orange flavor, as delicacy.

VXTHEN you are in doubt as to
w whether to open fourth hand
in bidding, in the final analysis
the true test is not whether you
are reasonably satisfied that you
can make game, but whether you
can prevent opponents from max
ing game if you open the bidding
Fourth hand should not bid
originally unless reasonably salts
fed that if the opponents bid and
obtain the contract they will not
make game.
For fourth hand to open the bid
ding after the opponents have
passed only to permit them to re-
open the bidding and make game.
is poor policy.
Better to "let sleeping dogs lie. "
If you cannot prevent opponents
from making game, do not open
fourth hand
Bear in mind that every time
the cards are dealt there is a pos
sibility that a game can be made
if the partners cards can be fitted
together
This can only be ascertained by
bidding. If you fail to bid when
you should, you may never have the
opportunity to bid again.
The probabilities are that at
least in every second deal of the
cards. a game going hand has
been dealt. Experts usually COM
plete the rubber in six to seven
deals.
1t is up to the players to give
each other the proper information
so that the hands may be played
at the best game-going declaration.
Every time you pass or surrender
a game-going hand-every time you
fail to bid when you should-your
chance of making the rubber game
diminishes accordingly.
The object Of the initial bid is
to let your partner know that your
hand contains at least two quick
tricks properly distributed and that
with reasonable support in his hand
game can be made.
In making your initial bid you
merely advise partner of your
strength, granting to your partner
the privilege of declaring another
suit or no trump if it be believed
that thereby a game can more
readily be made.
This interchange of information
results in finding the declaration at
which game can most readily be
made with the entire twenty-six
cards and not merely with your
thirteen cards.
Bearing in mind that the object
of an initial bid is to give informa-
ton, the great advantage of bidding
tour-card suit becomes quite ap-
parent. The player must not, how
ever, deviate from the minimum re-
quirements, as otherwise it NAV
bring disaster Four-card suit bids
are usually confined to initial bids.
In third and fourth positions a
four-card suit should be bid only if
the cards are distributed unfavor-
ably for no-trump or it contains a
demi-two suffer, that is, one five
card suit and one four-card suit.

the size of the metal. fuses are
made to carry various amounts OF
current and will melt when the cur

gets too strong the fuse melts and
automatically opens the circuit.
