There is the Alcala, an up-to-date business

Of the republic who are willing to shed their blood on

Lest we forget. 1t was veterans legislation that
brought Calvin Coolidge some Of his biggest reverses
in congress. He had never been a soldier: he had
never barred his bosom TO the bullets Of the enemy on
the field Of battle. His veto Of the soldier bonus
insurance measure was overriden in both the senate

its doors. Its president had an alihi. Depleted re-
sources occasioned by low prices Of farm commodi-
ties especially the condition Of the cotton market, he
said, caused the closing. Some day the cotton grow

use their brains as well as their hands and their plows,
study cotton economics and be in a position to make
drastic cuts in the acreage planted in planting time
when they know the number Of bales Of cotton that
constitutes the carry-over from the preceding year
as well as the condition Of the cotton textile trade in
the mills and the markets Of the world. This Is a
scientific age. and farming is a scientific game as

The latest news Is that a radio tube may soon re-
place the furnace, parlor stove and kitchen range for
hearng purposes. Radio is seen as the heating plant
OF the future. 1t will ultimately give you entertain
ment programs. political speeches, news events, tele-
vision pictures. a hot fire and plain home cooking.
Whole families viii be able to keep comfortable by
twisting a dial. and when a man suddenly feels a
little chilled while sitting in q draft during a blizzard
he will know that something is wrong with his wave
length or B batteries.
Fever tubes will do the business. The room will
be equipped with condenser plates between the walls.
Heat waves will be projected through the human body,
inducing a fever which will make a tenant asleep in a
snowbank think he is having a nap in a Turkish
bath.
If you're cold you just turn the dial until you get
a rush Of blood to the nead. If the gale is bowling
outside your window and you feel about to develop q
fever you will know that your radio heating system is
all right.
But il you still feel chilly you rap on the set for the

What will the American OF tomorrow do for his ex-

the care OF the old-fashioned coal-burning furnace.
When the chill winds blew, science stretched forth its

for more radio appliances.
If the fire went out during the night you had to

sat down. 1t was as warm as sum-

infolded them gently. The buds on
the trees were almost ready to burst.
Outside the park the lights Of the
traffic were like fireflies.
They sat in silence for quite five

But I think she is quite happy.

"Of course I want her: but I
don't think it's the place for her"
Il think you're wrong. Clarissa
is a thorough bohemian in her
tastes"
