There seems too much chance for
fraud in holding the election returns
four to five days after election. I, for
this reason, would suggest that the
| next legislature change the law and
permit each individual township to
appoint its election officers. This can
be done by the board Of supervisors or
at the town meeting, rather than by
county chairman Of q central COM
mittee.
I also note that the two central
committees are hooked up so that If

UNFAIR POULTRY GRADES

Editor, Tribune:
Many farmers wife has found out
that when it comes to selling poultry,
especially chickens, unfair practices
are robbing her of a good part Of the
money she should have. And none of
these practices is putting a penny in
the pocket of the consumer.
just why the price paid for certain
kinds of chickens should be several
cents less than for heavier kinds is
hard to understand when the butcher
sells Leghorns just as high per pound
as heavier breeds. And when you go
to the meat market they don't tell
you which were black chickens and
which were white!
In fact, we understand that the av-
erage family prefers the smaller bird
for all but roasting purposes and q
nice, plump Leghorn makes a mighty
tasty fryer or broiler.
Yet the farm woman receives sew
eral cents less per pound for the
smaller bird that sells for the same
price per pound as the larger fowl.
Unless the same scale of prices pre-
vail at meat markets as prevail during
marketing, the consumer Is not gain
ing cent and the only one to bene-
fit is the fellow who buys direct from
the producer.
We believe the next session of our
state legislature should have some
thing to say about this matter and
either abolish the present system Of
grading or make it fair to everybody.

the biggest loss of all, the 46 per cent
radiation
These speeding bodily radiant rays
are not very hot. So DR.. Schad esti-
mated that if a person could be sur
rounded by something just warm
enough to radiate similar rays back to
the body the 46 per cent would be re-
duced. To test this he built room
whose walls were electrical heating
panels.
His theory worked successfully to the
extent that when the air was cooled to
SO degrees and the walls heated to 80
scores of persons said the comfort was
just right. Troubles developed in regu-
lating air currents in such an ''unbal-
anced" heat They have been only
partly ironed out. Practical means Of
heating walls at economical costs are
still to be found.
But Dr. Schad thinks these expert
ments point to new era Of comfort in
doors, which will come when science
has perfected enough of new materials
and new processes. The radiant" heat
ing has been tested also with portable,
heated screens and temporary panels.
TO touch such a surface with the
hand" DR.. Schad says, ''one hardly gets
the impression that it is heated at all.
Yet with such devices in room the
air may be delightfully."- cool to breathe,
and if it were not for this almost i'm
perceptibly gentle source of radiant
heat would be actually too cool for
comfort"

the convention a plan Of Government

their conditions and be enabled to bear
the excessive taxes.

Stressing necessity for tax reductions.
Stems estimated that of the 100000

mately % per cent was required solely
to carry on the business of government
in this country. The average annual
tax bill is S1l0 for every man, woman
and child, he asserted.
Advocating timed public works as the
best means of aiding in stabilization OF
industry and trade, the speaker urged
adoption of long-term public improve
ment programs commensurate and
synchronized with the ability of the
public to support them.
District Law Proposed.
A resolution favo-ing enactment of
legislation by Congress for the regis
tration of engineers in the District and
pledging the support of the national
organization in aiding the passage OF
such law was adopted by the aSso-
citation.

These two seemingly impossible COM

type Of room under observation in the
laboratories OF the Westinghouse Co.
here The four walls of this room are
mildly heated. an idea of L. w. Schad,
research engineer.
Most persons know only two of the
three ways their bodies stay warm and
miss the third one. with which DR..
Schad is experimenting. They know
that warm air is one necessity and
proper moisture another. They do not
know that their bodies also radiate
away heat in rays travelling with the
speed Of light.
Keeping warm depends on how fast
heat is lost by all three methods. This
loss, in standard American clothing, is
found by scientific authorities to be di-
vided into As per cent through the fast
travelling rays, 80 per cent by convec-
tion-that is. in the air currents circu-
lating over the skin-and "a per cent
in Latent heat" which is the energy
required to evaporate moisture from
skin and lungs.
Ordinary heating systems are limited
mostly to warming the air, the 80 per

CRUST OF EARTH
FOUND FLOATING"
Gravity Gives Science New Evil
dence on Plastic Lower
Layer.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Gravity, the mysterious pull" that
holds things on the earth, has given
scientists new evidence that the earth's
crust floats on a plastic lower layer,
somewhat as raft floats on lake.
The new evidence was discovered
through measurements Of gravity's pull
in the West Indies. says DR.. F. A. Ven-
ing -Meinesz of Holland in report to
the American Geophysical Union.
The floating" idea is called the
earth, under this theory, might be COM
pared to large number of RATS float
ing side by side. but on lake of thick.
slow-fiowing molasses instead of water
The material on which the earth's crust
floats is plastic rock, far "stickier" than
the coolest molasses, but it does flow.
II weight Is added to one raft" or
section of the earth's crust, it rides
lower in the lake" and the increased
pressure causes the material below to
flow over beneath the neighboring raft
and push it up SO that it rides higher
according to the theory.
Measurements of gravity's pull in
many parts of the world show that this
is actually what happens, says DR.
Meinesz.
Places where the "rafts" of the earth's
crust are not in perfect balance-where
isostasy Is out of equilibrium-can be
traced because they affect gravity's pull
Graviety pulls most strongly over Sec
tions of the earth's crust that are heav-
lest or most dense Lighter sections
exert less pull.
The newest, gravity evidence that the
earth's crust is floating" was gathered
when DR.. Meinesz and other scientists
cruised through the West Indies on the
yacht Marmion of Hugh Matheso and
the United States Navy submarine S48
DR.. Meinesz states that differences in
gravity's pull found there at different
points on land and sea showed that the
earth's crust is '"buckling" downward
underneath region where mountain
range is in early stages of formation.
He believes this downward buckline
shows that isostasy is working. Part OF
the crust is being thrust downward te
balance other parts being thrust up
ward. When the mountain range finally
is formed, says DR.. Meiness, there will
be a protuberance, or root" below it
thrust down into the plastic mass oi
rock on which it floats.

up some 1000 machine guns allowed by
the treaty, enough money had been
appropriated to manufacture 20,0 600.
The French claim to have informA-
ton tending to indicate that Germany
has today enough small arms, machine
guns, and light artillery to equip an
army Of S0e, 900 men. Tanks, In the use
of which the Reichswchr Is highly
trained, will be provided. 1t is said, by

Has Plenty Of Gas.
The explosion of q phosgene tank
near Hamburg few years ago indicates
that Germany, in addition to immediate
possibilities Of its superb chemical In
dustries, has plenty of gas in stock:
The shock army is said to be thor
oughly motorized. There Is probably
still shortage Of heavy artillery. out
Germany, in certain fortresses, has big
fixed guns which could be easily rem
dered mobile.
Planes for bombing and for the trans
port of troops exist abundantly in Ger
many's civil aviation, subsidized by the
government. Pursuit planes exist also
abundantly in the so-called sport planes,
which the German government encour-
ages. Big civilian planes can be trans
formed into bombers in few minutes
by attaching bomb frames and sighting
apparatus. Sport plans can be trans
formed by substituting more powerful
motors.
Further, Germany has factories
abroad making war material in Russia,
Holland and Sweden. The Junkers
firm in Sweden is said to sell an
identical model in Germany as an
ordinary transport plane and elsewhere
as a bombing plane.
German pilots are believed also to be
training in Russia under secret agree
mentS between Russia and Germany.

The demands Germany is now putting
forward publicly for a militia and for
the right to make few samples Of all
sorts Of modern weapons would effect

army on lines laid down by Gen. Won

And If Germany has broken one dis

Such, anyway, is what the French
