based on the knowledge that the

during recent years He cnched that argument by
declaring 469oO0OoO stock and cash dividend last
month. He also argued that the stockholders had
profted by his Continental Trading DEAL

yesterday had to be clean business versus dis
credited profits That explains the wide public inter
est in the Whiting meeting, and the general satisfac
ton over the action of the stockholders.
Stewart still insists that he did nothing wrong He
defends his participation in the dummy Continental
Trading Corporation, which the United States SUI

poses and whose questionable profits aided the
notorious FaSinclair teapot dome deal and the Sin
clair contributions 20 the Harding campaign fund
He sees no reason why he should not have testi-
fed to the senate Teapot Dome committee that he did
not profit from the Continental DEAL and he defends
the conflicting testimony he gave the committee after
it traced those bonds him. He apparently does not
mind that he indicted for perjury SO long as he
was acquitted on alleged technicalities

The Bosses Win

Machine politicians inspired by the Watson-R Robin
son-Cofin philosophy of politics. have apparently
destroyed the primary law.
They whipped into line the venal, the tinid, the
ignorant membership of The house and senate and
voted them against the protests of those who still have
faith in the ability of the people to rule themselves
They have served notice the voters, and
especially women voters that hereafter they will have
no part in picking senator's Governors or Presidents
They have said in plain words, that the bosses will
rule and that the people need the tender guardianship
of its Collins and its stephensons and its Watsons
The only argument against the primary is that
it could produce enough members Of the legislature
with so little regard their constituents that they
would pass such law.
There will be no elections of Governor, senators or
President for four years Yet the bosses insisted on
the measure at this session. admitting that two years
hence any man who advocated such repeal would be
defeated for any future office.
One of two courses is open. The Governor can II

If the Governor still considers himself bound by a
pledge made by Watson and Robinson and slipped
through packed and hand-picked committee, the
people can take hand by electing legislature which
will pass laws two years hence with real teeth.
The primary may have its faults. But the conven-
ton system is worse.

that this repeal was directed against them.

Mr.. Mitchell's Opportunity

1t will be interesting to observe with what degree
of vigor the department of justice prosecutes the
further investigation of the Salt Creek oil leases The
senate public lands committee just before congress
adjourned, turned over to the department testimony
it had collected and the report of it's special nvesti
gator former Senator Thomas Sterling for such action
as the department might deem warranted.
In recent years the department has been assailed
for 1axity and ethargy in matters of this sort The
impatience of senators with what they described as
the inability or unwillingness of the department. TO
function has in fact been responsible for many nvesti
cations undertaken by congress.
But it would seem that the new attorney general
has an opportunity to bring his department. into good
repute by decisive action the Salt Greek leases.
Two questions are involved. The first is whether
leases were obtained from the government through
fraud and manipulation. The second is whether the
Midwest Refining Company, subsidiary of the Stand
ard Oil of Indiana, exercises monopoly in the field

cred concusive said in effect that there was no evil

III PASO, Tex, March 8-The
~ Mexican fracas founders on
amid such a fog of whispering,
claim and bombast as defies pene-
tration.
A battle is supposed TO be in
progress five miles south of Juarez,
but who knows.
BY the same token, who knows
whether the mayor of Juarez still
is alive. That unhappy individual
was clapped in jail by the federal
military authorities Wednesday
night. Since then he might as well
have been in Africa for all that can
be learned to his health, or where
abouts.
His wife obtained a court order
to prevent his execution Thursday,
but many believe it was a hollow
victory.
The firing squad has come to
play large part in the rumors. So
has the barter and sale of support.
The latest bit of scandal is to the
effect that 500 troops are being held
by their officers in Juarez to see
which way the cat will jump.

waste material and disappears. The
excess is stored as fat.
Some people are unable to get
outdoors to walk long distances or
to indulge in any form of physical
activity whatever. The use OF some
of these vibrating devices puts an
extra demand on the muscles which
helps to take care of the excess
fuel and thus prevents the deposit
of fat.
Practically every apparatus, drug,
or preparation used in scientific
medicine is two-edged sword; if
it has power for good, it is likely
also to have power for harm. The
health motors have one chief use,
namely, to exercise the muscles that
the person, because of his occupa-
ton, environment or for other rea-
sons, can not undertake to exercise
actively.
These machines are not a cure
for disease. They will not elimi-
nate fat from one portion Of the
body and put it on another. They
may, be dangerous to people with
irritable bowels, with varicose veins
or other disturbances.

the beginning OF scientific understanding of the ma
ture of light.
Until Newtons day it was supposed that when
of white light passed through piece OF red glass
to cite one example that the white light was dyed
red. OF course, no one had any clear idea of what
light was or how this process took place.
Newton showed, however, that when white light
passed through glass priSm it spread out into
the colors of the rainbow.
1t was apparent therefore that white light was a
mixture of all the colors.
What happened, therefore, when a beam of white
light reached piece of red glass was that the glass
absorbed all the other rays of light and permitted only
the red ones to pass through.
Newton, however, did not have any clear notion Of
the fundamental nature of light.
He imagined that light consisted of tiny particles
shot through space
Additional work the behavior of light especially
the way in which it behaved when passing through
lenses, was worked out by Joseph Fraunhofer the
brilliant telescope maker of Munich
Fraunhofer developed Of the mathematical
equations covered by the attraction of light that is
the way in which light waves were bent when they
passed through lens or prism.
But it is interesting to note that while the general
principles which control the phenomena OF reflection

Of the true nature Of light

across a letter to the people, in
jecting patriotism into the contro-
versy Of soldier bonus. 1t seems to
me that those of us more fortunate
to escape the. supreme sacrifice are
entitled to a show Of patriotism by
the people of Indiana. Fifteen mil
lions for the dead and not one
penny fos the living seems to be
the motto of opponents to soldier
bonus.

made where he can borrow money

back in installments. Such is the
patriotism OF the people Of my state.
