Chicago Is Improving

CTILL Chicago is improving
~ Hotels of that city, inspired
by the 3,000-room Stevens, have
banned the sale of mineral waters,
ginger ale and cracked ice, lest they
be used in the connection of illegal
beverages.
Like Caesars wife, Chicago hotels
propose to be beyond suspicion.
Not only that, but they propose
to see that their guests are also
beyond suspicion.
New York hotel managers are un-
impressed by this manifestation of
Chicago virtue.
Il should say, after considering
the situation from all angles one
manager declared, that w. C. T.
u or Anti Saloon League conven-
ton is about to descend on Chicago
and that hotel publicity agents are
making what might be termed an
open bid for it"

or all the dark horse candidates
~ who have emerged from ma
tona1 conventions as their party's
candidate for the presidency, few
we're more obscure than the man
nominated by the Republican ma
tional convention at Chicago sixty
nine years ago today-Abraham
Lincoln.
The controversy between the
north and south on the slavery Is
sue was reaching critical point.
Public interest in the oncoming ad-
ministration was higher than at any
other point in our history.
Northern extremists we're clamor-
ing for the adjustment of slavery
by force of arms. Some southern
ers we're limiting secession. Others,
on both sides Of the Mason-Dixon
line, believed that peaceful settle
nent could be reached.
William II. Seward Of New York
was the leading candidate for the
nomination. Lincoln eventually won.
He lost because, in speech deliv-
cred shortly before the convention,
he tried to soften his earlier state
ments favoring firm settlement Of
the slavery issue.
His political enemies convinced
the delegates that a stronger man
was needed for the next four years
and Abraham Lincoln, about whom
the nation knew little, was non1i-
mated on the third ballot.

Usually these rings within two three dameters
of the sun moon The red light of the colored
bands always is fartheSt from the moon.
These small circles are called coronaS. They are
produced by the attraction spreading of the
light moonlight through the water droplets forming
the clouds.
These coronas should not be confused with the
laloS which fc-m when the moon is seen
through the higher and thinner cirrostratuS clouds
Haos always very much larger than coronas
and whereas the red is farthest from the sun

composed of ice crystals. The halos, therefore are
caused by the dfraction of light through crystals of

to me wholly without justification.
I know the farmers say wood

GoriIIaS and Science

COUR scientists are leaving New
Il York at the end of this month
they propose to kill and embalm
gorillas.
Afterward, the gorillas will be
brought back to this country to be
dissected and studied for the pur-
pose of comparing their anatomy
with that of human beings.
Why such haste about the killing
and embaln1ing?
Why not bring them home alive
and do the dissecting after they die?
Speaking of gorillas, the Graf
Zeppelin, which had one aboard
was obliged to turn back on account
OF crippled motors.
If the same percentage of motive
power had gone dead on an airplane
there probably would have been a
disaster.
The Graf Zeppelin, however, is
able to crawl back home, although
at the rate of only ten or twelve
miles an hour
Her ability to survive such a mis-
hap proves quite as much as would
a successful flight.

Dead Sea Gold
GEORGES CLAUDE,

DR. GEORGES CLAUDE, a
~ French scientist, says that the
Dead Sea contains fifty billions in
gold, which is about five times the
worlds present supply and that
one-third Of it could be extracted
within fifteen years.
He explains that the Dead Sea
was once a part of the ocean, that
ocean water contains a small
amount of gold and that evapors-
ton of the Dead Sea has increased
this amount proportionately.
1t all sounds interesting, but why
didn't some one think of it before?
One is puzzled to know whether
DR.. Claude has stumbled on a SEEM
ingly obvious fact which all the
other scientists have overlooked, or
whether he is suffering from a pipe
dream.
1t has been known for long time
that sea water contained several
elements, though to a minute ex-
tent.
Bromine is one of them. The nee
esSity of bromine for the manufac-
ture of ethyl gasoline has lead to
considerable research and expert
mentation with the object of diScov-
ering some method by which it
could be extracted from sea water
in large quantities at small expense.
DR.. Charles M. A. Strine, chemical
director of E. I. Du Point de Mem
our g. Co., says that the re-
cent secret cruise of the steamship
Ethyl appears to demonstrate the
feasibility of obtaining an inexhaust-
IDLE supply of bromine by the simple
process of pumping large volumes of
sea water through a diStilling syS-
tenn at high speed.

Some Think Milk Cures Tuberculosis

shoould be fed with goats milk be-
cause the goat does not have tu-
berculosis as often as the COW.
The actual fact of the matter is,
of course, that milk fresh from the
COW Or in any other way is not a
cure for tuberculosis. 1t is a valu-
able food in tuberculosis, Of course,
or in any other disease.
Because the COW not infrequently
has tuberculosis, unpasteurized milk
or milk from COWS that have not
been tested for tuberculosis is a
menace and may actually spread the
disease.
The path of safety therefore lies
in drinking only milk that has been
certified or pasteurized. Under such
circumstances, it may prevent tu-
berculosis by increasing weight, i'm
proving nutrition and building re-
sistance against the disease.

Secrets in the Home

INDEED it would be more conve-
Il nient if Flagg were less intelll-
gent, for as things stand, we have
to spell words to keep secrets from
him. 1t is necessary. for instance,
to say I'm going Out now.
If the word itself was pronounced
he would practically tear me to
pieces in his anxiety to go along and
it would be silly to take a dog to
see Walter Hampden in "Cyrano,"
Another thing that Flagg doesn't
care about is being lifted up. When
at attempt is made to raise him
bodily from the floor he growls
fearfully. Whether he would bite
me if I persisted in the attempt,
I don't know. My passion for
science has not been sufficient to in
duce me to go through with the ex-
pertinent.
At any rate since Flagg can't be
lifted he can't be bathed at home.
I forgot to add he also hates water.

short hours and good pay good business.
Economists-like President Hoover and Ethelbert
Stewart head of the bureau Of labor statistics of the
department of labor-have seen for years that grad
ual introduction of shorter hours living wage
scale is inevitable and is good business
1t used to be that al but the privileged few had

has reversed that.

must be unemployed if we stick to the old long hours
How much wiser is divide up the available work

tinue to buy literally as possible and keep the
