The best way to get warm and
keep warm is to go to bed with suf-
f1cient covers.
If the vast majority of people
would go home just as soon as they
feel the first symptoms of a cold,
and follow the technic outlined,
there would be far fewer secondary
serious complications.
The complications are far worse
than the initial disease. The COM

selves seldom fatal.
The secondary bronchitis, pneu-

But if the right information lies
wholly in the counting room, why
permit the worker to vote at all?
Instead of having him shamble in,
hat in hand, to get his instructions,
wouldn't it be simpler just to let
each employer cast a ballot for
everybody in his employ and thus
save wear and tear and croyding
on election day?
Mr.. Hoover is fond of making a
recurring speech which concerns
the American laborer, and just what

being pretty candid in warning the

out from his boss on precisely which

TN the present campaign much
i has been said about the protest
vote. Some have hailed a ballot
of this sort as the most useful
which a citizen can cast, while
others are inspired to declare,
Don't throw your vote away
It all depends upon what basis
you plan to protest. There are those
who feel that Roosevelt's grin is
too wide and Hoover's mercy much
too narrow.
Having no liking for the per-
sonality of either candidate, these
disgruntled ones will choose some
minor party as the receptacle OF
their passing fancy.
I agree with critics who feel that
this sort of protest" is of little
value in the Qualification of Amer
ica's political problems, however
much good it may do for the soul
of the individual involved.
I am not a passionate admirer Of
either President Hoover or Gov
ernor Roosevelt, and yet I do not
think that there is much cause for
complaint upon the part Of those
who generally are satisfied with
that sort of government which it
has pleased the Republican and
Democratic parties to afford us.
I do not intend it as a towering
compliment, but it seems to me that
Herbert Clark Hoover is about up
to the average of Republican Pres
idents. Nor does Frankling Roose-
welt rate below the level generally
maintained by Democrats. Both
are good run-of -the-mine candi-
dates.

Questions and
Answers

When did the last eclipse of the
moon occur and where was it Wis
ible?
1t was a partial eclipse, March %,
1882. The beginning was visible
generally in eastern Asia, Australia,
Pacific ocean, North America, ex-
cept the northeastern part, and the
extreme western part of South
America, and the ending generally
was visible in Asia, except the
southwestern part, Indian ocean,

When will the next eclipse of
the sun occur? VIII 1t be visible in
the United States?
The next eclipse visible in the
United States will occur March Z,
1870, and will be visible only in
Florida. There will be an eclipse in
1945 and another in 1854, which

Counting Elections
IN his address. Dr. Hull descrihe

IN his address, DR.. Hull described
l. number of new vacuum tubes
or vacuum valves" as he prefers
to call them. These valves are the
latest product of the General Elec-
trio laboratories.
Some of them still are in the
laboratory stage" DR.. Hull said.
Others have already found impor-
tant applications.
Some of the larger ones, which
have graduated from the laboratory.
are waiting for their apprentice
ship in industry, there to refine
their frailties and complete their
preparation as electrical servants.
THE career that awaits them,
though dimly foreseen, appears
fascinating. And as surely as his
tory repeats itself, scenes still more
romantic, now beyond the horizon,
will unfold as We approach them.
This is the romance of science"
DR.. Hull began his review of the
new valves with the most delicate
one of the lot.
1t is a special tube designed to
measure currents smaller than any
yet detected. AS DR.. Hull said, 1T
goes by the unromantic name,
Pnotron FP-54."
This new tube is so sensitive that
it will measure an electric current
Of one billionth of billionth of an
ampere.
AS already stated, an electric
current is a flow of electrons-tril-
lions per second in the case of an
ordinary current
The current measured by this tube
represents a flow of only six cleo
irons a second.
Consequently this tube can be
used not only to measure current
strengths, but to count electrons.

Electron Is Put at Work to-
Help Twentieth Century
Scientist.
BY DAVID DIETZ-

~ - a w w ~ ~ - W
Help Twentieth Century
Scientist.
HOW the twentieth century SCI
l. i enlist has put the electron to
work, was told by DR.. A. w. Hull,
assistant director of the General
Electric research laboratory, in a
recent address before the American
institute of Mining and Metallur-
gical Engineers.
Existence of the electron was not
even suspected until the close of
the nineteenth century when Roent-
gen discovered X-rays and the Gu
RES discovered radium. In fact,
scientists still are arguing about
just what the electron is.
1t is so small, for one thing. that
about half million of them could
be placed, without crowding, on the
period at the end of this sentence.
While we do not know exactly
what the electron is, we do know
it is the unit Of negative electricity.
and that an electric current is
nothing more nor less than a stream
of electronS in motion.
From that point of view, modern
man has been putting the electron
to work ever since he started using
electricity.
But the present-day scientist has
put the electron to work in a solo
capacity, as it were. He makes
the electron do special tricks for
him. This is done by means of the
vacuum tube.
OF course, every one is familiar
with one application of the vacu-
UNI tube. 1t is the heart of the
ordinary radio set.
1t is flow of electrons from the
heated filament of the vacuum tube
to the plate which accounts for op-

IF the Socialist party is to become

grow at the bottom rather than

a convenient medium by which to
express dislike for two fellows cur
rently running for the presidency.
Obviously its real reason for ex-
istence is to offer a haven for those
who wish to express well-considered
disbelief in the present economic
system. Perhaps that's being q
shade too dogmatic. There should
also be room for those who have
as yet gone no farther than to har-
Dor grave doubts.

they are throwing away their votes.
They honestly see no important diff

is BEING CLOSED.
Cost of Production, Price
Received Are Growing
Nearer Together.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-Rises in
the commodity markets are grad
ually closing the chasm which for
three years has stood between those
two great factors in business-the
cost of production and the price re-
ceived.
Already the cotton market his
risen, study Of department of agri-
culture figures indicates, TO a point
today's prices will yield a profit to
the producer Of much of the nations
cotton supply.
Wheat prices are approaching
profit for some of the more efficient
and successful growers.
Corn and oats, among the agri-
cultural products, and such metals
as copper and lead are making prog
ress, but still have considerable
distance to go.
Entirely accurate figures which
would permit one to say at lust
what point in the market the price
begins to yield profit to the COM
modify producer, can not be gath
cred, government departments ex-
plain.
Variation in Costs
This is because Of the variations
IN such items of production cost as
labor, seed, fertilizer, marketing
costs, and, in fact, most of the
items that go to make up the exact
cost per pound or per bushel of any
commodity.
The latest government figures
available show that in 1881 the larg
est part of the American cotton
crop was produced at 9 cents a
pound. The figure included market
ing costs. Wednesday spot cotton
closed at 8 cents on the New York
market.
A considerable quantity of cot
ton, however, was produced in 1881
at less than cents a pound, rang
ing down to 6 cents. For those pro-
ducers who were able to grow cot
on at such figures there appeared to
be a neat profit in Wednesdays
price.
This years crops are being pro-
duced at prices considerably lower
than those of 1881, such. figures as
are available indicate. Take, for in
stance, the case of wheat.
Department of agriculture figures
show that in 1881 the theoretical
average production cost of bushel
of wheat was 81 cents But it cost
1894 for labor to till an acre of
wheat in that year-that is approx
imately four days labor at an aver
age of $1.73 a day.
Make Money on Wheat Seen
This year the department of agri-
culture found that in July the
average farm labor cost was down
to about $1,23 per day. It reduced
the farmers labor cost in tilling an
acre of wheat to theoretical $4.92.
That reduction alone, without con-
sidering possibly lower prices for
fertilizers, seed and other items
making up the cost of production,
would reduce the cost of<producing
a bushel of wheat to a theoretical
average of 70 cents.
1t seemed probable to some ex-
perts that wheat can be produced
now by the more efficient farmers
working under the best conditions,
for 60 cents, or maybe little less.
Wheat closed Wednesday at 53%
cents per bushel. A rise of a COM
paratively few more cents will be-
gin to bring profit to some of the
more fortunate producers.
