series of light and dark rings or bands.
Young explained these dark bands on the SUPPOSE

the light coming through the pnhole with
those coming through the other.
He explained the phenomenon in the following
words:

leading out of the lake.
Suppose then another similar to have ex-
cited another equal series of which arrive the

time the first.
Neither series of waves will destroy the other, but
their effects will be combined; if they enter the chan

produce series of greater joint elevations but if the

lection rather than as a proven
tive.
When tooth brush is split, when
bristles begin to break off and come
out, the tooth brush should be
thrown away. A new tooth brush
should be put in a strong salt cold
water solution for two hours before
using.
Cold water should be used to
moisten the brush before using, and
to rinse it thoroughly after the
teeth are brushed.
The brush should then be hung
in the open air in such position
that the bristleS will not come in
contact with anything else for twen-
ty-four hours before the brush is
used again.
Obviously, therefore, persons
should have two brushes, one for
morning and one for evening use. If
a tooth brush is kept moist for too
long a period of time or kept in an
air-tight container, the bristles are
quickly destroyed.
Most important, however, is the
fact that bacteria grow on warm,
moist tooth brushes and that the
use of the brush before it has dried
thoroughly will merely add new
bacteria to those taken from the
mouth in the previous washing.

It Lacked Something

That the legislature which comes to a close at
mid. light lacked something is generally conceded
ome there are who say It lacked leadership. That
may be true. But it lacked something more than
this. 1t lacked intelligence, and courage.
majority of the members could properly resent
being called tools of the machine, and yet the ma
chine got most of the things it wanted.
majority of the members owe little to the utili
ties, yet the utilities emerge with smile.
The trouble with the legislature was probably due
to the fact that those who wanted to the people
we're bewildered and helpless while those who had
special purposes secret masters possessed enough
brains to get what they desired.
The good things that have come from the legis
Iature were obtained by persistent efforts of groups
of public minded men and women who camped on
the job.
Especially is that true of the city manager laws
and the measure drafted by the League of Women
Voters for permanent registration that will prevent
such frauds as declared to have been perpetrated
in Lake county last fall.
Public sentiment forced from a very reluctant
legislature the amendments to the city manager law
demanded by its friends. The bosses last hope OF
defeating this reform lies in supreme court decision
They have lost on every other field They will lose
when it comes to an election of new officials.
1t is significant that the legislature refused to
abolish the fee system with its pernicous evils in
Lake county The prosecutor of that county will con-
tnue to draw more money than the President of
the United States 1t is unlikely that there will be
any vigorous prosecutions of election frauds.
The state will pay bigger taxes than ever. That
is not an unmixed evil, if the money were spent in
proper directions It is evil the state gets no
more in the future than it got in the past.
Taxes goes up. The automobile owner will pay
another cent gallon all gasoline he uses. The
cement people are happy. The farmers thnk-and
only think-that they getting free roads at the
expense of the city slicker The schools will worry
along.
Yes the legislature lacked something. 1t may
have been leadership. Or it may have lacked the
right leadership.

There's positively no four-fiushing

The Road Problem

MEXICO, continues to fight,
4V1 while Texas argues over a
SITS, 100000 bond issue for roads.
That brings up subject which
has come to bother every state in
the Union. Roads didn't mean so
much until we got to driving U.s.
100000 autos, with the manufactur-
ers clamoring for us to double the
number.
1t now takes more to build and
maintain the roads of this country
than it did to run the government
fifty years ago.
The all-absorbing question is,
whether to borrow and pay as we
ride, or increase taxes and pay as
we go.
1t looks easy to issue bonds and
let the next generation pay for our
ease, but the thing does not always
work out that way.
Sometimes the road plays out be-
| fore the bonds. There happens to
be road right close to Houston
which has been rebuilt three times,
though the original bonds still are
unpaid.
