SHOOTING STARS.

The Candidates Query.

The Candidates Query.
If you want a reformation In the way
that things are done;
If you'd like to have the people all as
smiling as the sun;
If you think that what you're taxed
for should be cheaper-maybe free;
If you've any kind of grievance, sayI
Why don't you vote for me2
If you want a world Of roses and OF
laughter and of song
A world in which there's nothing that
Is ever going wrong
There isn't any reason for your minds
to disagree;
The question of the moment is: "Why
don't you vote for me?"

of rlmors are encountered regarding
the imminence of the return of beer
containing more than one-half OF l
per cent Of alcohol. Some Of the re-
ports, or rather rumorS, are that the
Federal Government has been making
an investigation to ascertain just what
the breweries could do in the way OF
putting out, say, 2.75 per cent beer on
rather short notice and how many men
they could give work to in these times
Of unemployment. When the truth OF
such reports is doubted, the purveyors
of the rumor insist that they have
reason to believe that the Government
actually is looking forward to return
Of beer Of q greater alcoholic content
than has been allowed under the Vol
stead act.
The proponents Of beer, however, are
counting their chickens considerably
before they are Matched. Even II all
the wet candidates for the Senate and
House should win in the coming election
and they will not-the preponderance
OF drys in the next Congress would still
be so great that any proposal to bring
back beer would have not the ghost of
a chance. Furthermore, when the Con-
greSs Is asked to "nullify" the eight
zenith amendment to the Constitution
there Is going to be a terrific roar
around the country.
Victories of q considerable number
OF wet candidates at the polls this year
appear quite certain. These victories
are sure to have their effect. Public
sentiment Is like SNOWFALL. Set It
rolling and it grows bigger and bigger.
Whether the drys will be able to stem
the tide which has set in here, there
and everywhere for some kind of modi-
fication Of the present dry laws remains
to be seen.
The drys are accustomed to sit back
and say the eighteenth amendment can
never be stricken from the Constitu-
ton; that any repeal proposal can be
blocked hy ~ States. They count IS

Measuring WEIGHT Loss

The loss in weight that we all un-
dergo every day, mostly water given
off through the skin and lungs, has
been the object Of research by DR..
Francis G. Benedict and Cornelia Col
lay Benedict of the Carnegie insti-
tute Of Washington. Two sensitive
balances were used in the work. Both
were strong enough to sustain the
weight of a man, but sensitive enough
to register small changes in weight.
One of the balances would indicate a
change of one-third Of an ounce, and
was so constructed that the volunteer
for the experiment could sleep all
night on its platform. The other was
100 times as sensitive, but could be
occupied for only an hour or SO at a
stretch. Other ingenious mechanics
measured the carbon dioxide given of,
the percentage of water in the outgo-
ing breath, and also It's temperature.

Spell of Inspiration
Myfh, Writer Asserts

Irwin S. Cobb, whose HUMOROUS
writings have been sending ripple OF
chuckles across America for genera
tion, has crouch.
Il is the modern young writer, who
is impatient of sound literary training
and who persists in his belief that the
literary light is impelled by that elu-
sive quality called inspiration.
Mr.. Cobb unburdens himself this
wise in McClure's Magazine:
"The two biggest fools in the writ
ing game are the rebel. the iconoclast,
the fiery spirit, the free and untram-
meled soul who won't learn the rules
that have been proved sound by gen
erations Of writer's in the past; and
the man who. having learned them
won't break them occasionally.
"But YOU can't break the rules in
telligently without mastering them
first, and knowing exactly when and
why and how they should be broken
to get a particular effect"
AS to waiting for inspiration to
guide the fingers OYER the typewriter
keyboard, Mr.. Cobb is very emphatic.
'T never had an inspiration in my
life" he declares Il keep regular
office hours for writing and what |
get are not Inspirations bur notions
for yarns.
"Sometimes I keep an idea in the
back of my mind for q couple Of years
before it actually reaches the form Of
a story. It's like an egg inside hen
IT goes on growing; then the time
comes when it Graves to be laid, and
it's laid"
And for the good housewife, drug
clerk and insurance salesman who
think that story writing IS merely the
business Of buying ink and paper on
which ones way to literary fame can
be written overnight Mr. Cobb emits
q disillusioning outburst.
"It sometimes seems to me that
every man, woman and child in the
United States wants TO write and IS
certain he she or It can write" he
saws. "Iou know a young fellow
Will remark, i think I'll become a
writer. Why. l wrote an essay the
other day and everybody told me it
was wonderful ! think I'll just sit
down this morning and dash off a
story and send it to one Of the big
magazines
"That expression, dash off story,
gives me the pip. I never dashed off
a story in my life. It's my opinion
that any story dashed Off IS bound
to be worthless"
