BOY MVENTS
 LIGHT SYSTEM

Paris-(UP)-A bad boys prank has proved the key to a worthy invention, according 70 Jacques Arthuys. who conceived a new sum- lighting system from his own youthful mIsdemeanors.
 Flashing q piece of mirror about in a sunshiny window to land on giaring light in teachers eye or on Sallys slate gave young Jacques an idea that may make him a mil- iionaire. If q tiny piece of broken mercuried glass could make sucn a bright spot in dark room,. then why couldn't q large piece Of mir TOT i'm the same sun light up large surface of q dark roomY That was the theory upon which the young inventor went to work.
 The finished product. as It nas been Installed in the newspaper plant of "LIntransigeant" by Us author and inaugurated recently bv Louis Rollin, minister or com n,erce, is called the Arthel. It 10 . simple combination of mirrors ana lenses and lights the interior or the building with phosphorescent glow, From a skylight on the root of the central stairway solar rays are protected down the six hights and reflected back from q mirror howl on the ground floor, acting ag a fountain. Smaller. anGaen mirrors on each floor catch tne strong descending rays and nnsn them back along the ceiling or CUT riders or rooms. ..
 "After the original instaiIatIon of the two huge mirrors tn the roof. there Is no upkeep except wnshlng them" said M. Arthuys.

WILL < WAIT FOR UNIONS
 TO HOLD SESSION
If the Men Vote Not to Ac- cept Wage Cuts, Then the Roads Will Take Final Action

New York. Nov 25.-OP)- Railroad executives temporarily have dropped their discussions re- garding a wage reduction on the various lines pending g. meeting of 1,500 Brotherhood Cha!rmen to be held in Chicago December 8, 1t was learned to-day. .
 Following this meeting. another special conference will be called to consider the proposals which the labor unions make.
 In event of flat refusal to take a wage reduction, 1t was generally believed the roads would attempt to force lower wages through one of the two channels open to them:
 1. Individual agreements be- tween workers and employers on the various railroads.
 2. Order cuts under procedure permitted by the labor provisions of the transportation act. the lat ter involving arbitration and delay.
 F. w. Leamy. vice-president of Delaware & Hudson and secretary of the eastern presidents confer ence said in event the brother hoods refused wage reductions he believed the roads would act In concert.
 According to Leamy no definite amount of reduction. had been agreed upon.
 "The presidents have made no formal agreement as to percent ages of reduction to be made nor even on the point or whether reduction of any kind should pc made" Leamy said. However, as was shown in the letters exchanged by Daniel Willard, president Of the Baltimore & ohio, and D. II. Roo- ertson, chairman of the Aaliway Labor Executives association. It is fine general opinion of the presi- dents that a reduction of 10 per cent should be made In wages.
 The railraods. he added. would naturally prefer to have the reduc- tions made through voluntary ac- ton by labor and there would be some advantage to labor In sucn procedure. Hence. although we are not in a position to discuss what decision labor may make at Cni- cago, we are waiting to see whether the outcome of that meeting VII be a voluntary acceptance or u wage reduction"
 Announcement yesterday of a wage reduction agreement between executives and brotherhood em- pIoyes of the Georgia & Florida railroad was not taken as a prece- dent for future wage negotiations, 1t was said.
 The Georgia 6 Florida reduc- tions, 1t was pointed out. were oh. tained under duress. The railroad executives threatened to close down inc road if the employees did not conform to their wishes on wages, and the employees to retain their

Bravado

bfdVduO
 Two recent incidents illuminate the daring and sense of humor, respectively, of the reputedly tenn peramental blond star, much lime lighted, known as Mary Nolan. At weekend party in the mountains at Lake Arrowhead, the guests included Mary and the for mer cowboy star, Tom Mix, lately of the circus.
 All were out horseback riding when Mix performed one of his typical movie stunts, riding his steed swiftly over steep preci- pice and diving into the water be- low
 Mary saw him do it. While the others looked on, she wheeled her mount, rode back a piece, turned again, and dashed over the incline in Mix's path, into the icy water!
 Proving that no cowboy can "show off" before our Mary.
 The other incident occurred in a crowded department store, busy with the Christmas rush.
 Mary was shopping, when up walked a little lady who asked, Won't you wait on me, please? l want to buy a dress"
 So Mary pleasantly made the sale, turned the money over to the head clerk, and demanded her commission-and she got it. The little customer never knew that a movie star had waited on her. Mary and a friend gaily brought confections with the proceeds, laughing hysterically the while.

E&NSTEIN SETTLES ALL THINGS
Detroit Free Press.)

1t H;agnt to be comforting and set ling to learn that Herr Albert Fin stein has forged a mathematical key "te the innermost secrets of nature," and has presented the freedom of the uMverse to q company of physicists and lnathemat:oians in Pasadena by laying it before them. Now shall we see the arrival of the day upon which, without exhibiting undue megalo- mania, savant may echo the words of, Henry Faust's servant, Wagner, Already know much, but would know everything" Or shall we?
 In the midst of a. first impulse to- ward hugh elation we are checked by coming upon this. entence in the re- port, of Herr Einstein's ne wcontribu- tion: "The equation for the theory of, relativity contained ten unknown quantities, four of which had to be assumed. This greater puzzle con- tains sixteen unknown quantities, with four to be- assumed"
 In the little, finite ntellectuaiiworId' where most of us live, move and have our being, ssarss doubtsn and difficult ties, even one unknown: quantity. is likely to work havoc with, accuracy and correct conclusion And think of four all at once, chasing one another around the brain pan, playing tiddle- decwinks, perhaps, or miniature golf.
 It's disquieting. It leads to feel ing of doubt; or rather it leads to a feeling of conviction that whatever Herr Einstein may discover aboutthe inmost secrets of the universe, how ever far he may penetrate the life garment of Deity, none of us will be able to follow him. The secret will remain secret between his God and him- And that won't do us any good.

DEATH OF PIONEER RECALLS s EARLY-DAY EVENTS IN BOTH
 JUNEAU AND THE KLONDIKE

An outstanding figure in the de- yelopment of Alaska and the Yukon passed to the eternal camping ground recently in the person of Newman Andrew Fuller, former Juneau resi- dent. <, Mr.. Fuller was one of the founders of Juneau and the great mining industries of that district, and likewise one of the most conspic- uous and influential figures in the opening of the great Klondike plarer fields, says the Juneau Empire.
 He was native of Michigan, and passed away in his home state at his home in Detroit, November 21, in his S2d year.
 MT. Fuller was one of the grub stakers of Joe Juneau and R. T. Harris, who ,staked the first placer and quartz claims in what is now the, Juneau district, in 1880. Juneau was named after one of the grubstaked proSpectors, and the name Harris is synonymous with the thriving mod ern town in the minds of all present day Juneauites. Harris street is named after him. Mir. Fuller, when young man, came west to San Fran cisco,5 later was :, purser on coast steamers, and afterward opened a trading post at Sitka, Alaska. It was while there that he, furnished the supplies for Juneau and Harris after the original finding of gold placers and quartz there. Some of the claims claims now being worked at Juneau by the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company bear the name of MT. Full fer. After disposing. of some of his earlied holdings to John Treadwell, who. was instrumental.in the found ing of the Alaska Treadwell Gold Mining Company, MT. Fuller, having acquired a large stake. returned to Michigan and embarked in the furni- ture business. Meeting with reverses there, he returned to the North, and was among the first to go to the klondike ever thes old Dyea trail. in the stampede days. In Dawson he started in with a pick and shovel, but it was not lorsss. until his organizing ability asserted itself again, and as purchasing agent for the North American Trading and Transporta- tion Company, then represented in the Klondike by Captain John J. Healy,, Fuller bought from various original holders many of the richest placer claims in the district for tie

big company of. which the CudahyE of fChfcxRp owere the chief ,stockhold- ers:',
 Some of the claims Fuller. bought turned out enormous producers and were testimony to his good judg- ment. For his services he was award ed something over a uarter of mil lars and the company reaped in time a far greater reward. With his new stake Fuller branched out and became a partner of Captain Norwood, we'll known pioneer mining operator of the district. They more than doubled Fuller's fortune, and he then acquired and turned over numerous other groups of claims in the klondike, and eventually acquired the entire Daw- son City Utilities, including the tee phone. power and light plants, and the Northern Light coal mines and railway. In this later enterprise he was associated with .Dr. Andrew S. Grant, and it was reported that when MT. Fuller sold all his interests and retired fro mthe Yukon he was worth a round million dollars. He returned to Detroit and from that. point oper- ated extensively in mines in New Mexico and elsewhere until the time fhis death, and was very active and energetic until the last, being not only able to carry on his business all through his career, but up to the. last few weeks was able to drive his mo- tor car about with the ability of far younger man. Heart trouble finally closed his notable record.
 Mir. Fuller, when first in Juneau, was judge of miners meeting which, when called upon to punish three Indian perpetrators of the first murder of a white in that district, resulted in the prompt conviction and hanging of the three, offenders. No civil law. then obtained in the dis trict, and it was, necessary for the. miners to act in their own protection. In those days Captain Carroll was commander. of the noted pioneer Alaskan steamer, Queen, and was the man who brought the first news of the executions to the States. The gov ernment afterward investigated and approved the action of the miners meeting. An . interesting historical chronicle of tn ,eeyeat was written in a volume by a young English tourist who happened to. be. on the ship that voyage.
 Fuller, while. in Juneau, befriended an energetic. young man and former sheri and Indian fighter from Mon- tana by adyancin. to him a sum of cash to open a. fur trading business at Dyea. That young man was John J. Healy, who made good and event ually advanced ,toothe head of the big Cudahy interests in the Klondike. He returned the early favor of Fuller by
 making him the. purchasing, agent of the company's mining interests in the Klondike, thus laying the foundation for the second. fortune that Fuller reaped in the golden North.
