Triumph Of Invention
in "Unsinkable" Vessel? I?

One Of the worlds greatest inven-
tions was the self-righting boat, the
principle Of which is used In all life
boats. Gut out piece Of wood the
shape Of slice Of melon and you
will find that no matter what you do
with 1t in water. 1t rights itself In an
instant.
Now another astonishing invention
Is announced-that of q ship which
cannot be sunk. The inventor Is M.
Joseph Chartrain, a Frenchman. Tests
were made with model Of an Allan
tic liner twelve feet long and weigh
ing half ton.
The experts conducting the tests
began by driving great holes In the
model below the water line with crow
bars. A full-sized ship pierced with
holes on the same scale would have
sunk In minute or two. No efforts
on the part Of the experts could make
the model do anything more than
settle down an inch or two in the wa
ter. The damaged model was tilted
right over on its beam ends by great
weights, but the moment these were
removed 1t righted itself again.-Lon-
don Tit-Blts.

Point Long in Dispute
Solved by Old Trees?

Further proof that North America
and Asia were once Joined or were
parts of the same continent has been
found In northern Alberta, Canada.
Remains OF trees said to be from
fifteen to twenty million years old, yet
perfectly preserved, were found In
sticky tar sand near Fort McMurray.
Gnarled branches and trunks of trees
that could be whitfield with a jack
knife, and even the leaves and the
insects that fed upon the leaves, were
in good state Of preservation, thanks
to the alright embrace of the tar
sand. Not only are these ancient trees
far older than any previously discoy.
cred tree remains, but they are said
to be the only known deposit OF Juras-
sic period vegetation In its original
state. The remains were discovered
by the engineer of the Canadian fed
eral department of mines, who Is an
authority on bitumen deposits.

bill" BAILEY
Subject of Once Popular
Song, Passes On

Seattle, Wash. (ILNS) = "Bill"
Bailey-original Bill of the one-time
song hit, "Bill Bailey, Won't You
Please Come Home 2" is dead here,
after a life devoted to trade union
ism. He was stricken nearly a year
ago while on duty as constable, post
to which he was elected, with labor
support, some years ago.
William B. Mailey was born in San
Francisco in 1864. In 1885 he joined,
the Pattern Makers Union. He rep
resented that organization and also
the Mable, Tile and Terrazzo Work
ers. He was active here at the time
of the A. F. of l.. Seattle convention.
One of his favorite activities was
campaigning for the union label.
Hughie Cannon, something of
writer of songs, was one of Bailey's
pals. The two didn't stop going places
together when Bailey married. Finally
Mrs. Bailey's repeated urging, "Bill,
please come home," struck Cannon as
song material. The revenue lifted
Cannon to affluence. Cannon died
about a year ago. Mrs. Bailey pre-
ceded Bill by short time.

And the merchants of the free
cities of Europe could buy both guns
and men to shoot the guns.
There was then compromise be-
tween the nobility and the merchants;
The latter furnished the armies and
the money.
The kings, and dukes organized and
led the armies, for mutual benefit.
Then came the power-driven ma
chine-at first just spinning wheel.
And then the steam-engine, meas
uring energy by horsepower"
These depended upon the use of
iron and steel.
And the Age of Steel waited for the
coming of Coal.
Towering above these foundations,
rose the Power of Private Capital.
But. without the Machine, all of
these lost their meaning and power.
The expansion of the power of the
machine was inevitable.
Just as inevitable was the rise of
the Greater Capital, and it's owners.
The Machine itself has been a
blessing.
1t has brought the easing of
drudgery, and the shortening of night.
Production, almost by the fairy's
wand, has responded to the turning
wheels of the Machine.
So long as the Machine can turn.
Famine is inconceivable.
On the land, in the mine, in the
mill.
Under the directing hand Of man.
the Machine banishes want of goods.
Also--the Power of the Machine
has wiped off all but some small relics
of the Feudal Power.
The Money Lords now make the
law--high, low, and middle law.
And their servants command the
armies.
Their power comes from their own
ership of the Machine.

Best Light for Working

The American Standard Code Of In
dustrial Lighting recommends an illu-
mination Of from 10 to Is foot-candles
on the work plane for close work In
offices. To avoid eyestrain the illu-
mination should not be less than 8
foot-candles, but higher illumination
increases the rapidity and accuracy
Of Office work. Indirect lighting is
not necessarily the best form Of light
ing for an office. Two things are es-
sential for good lighting suf1-
cient intensity and absence of glare.
Under proper conditions semi-indirect
lighting, or even direct lighting, may
be satisfactory. Indirect lighting Is
more costly to install and maintain
than semi-indirect or direct lighting.
Walls should not be white or dark in
color. A light buff Is good color for
walls. Ceilings should be white. Walls
and ceilings should have matt sur
faces

Truths POndered While
Riding at
Anchor
Then gently scan
your brother NAM
BY MIR. MOdestus-

The key to power in barbaric days
was the military formation.
Hordes could not stand before the
Greek phalanx or the Roman legion.
That held good until the Roman
legions were no longer manned by
freemen.
The Roman legion was an auto
matte murder machine.
1t marked the transition from
savagery, and the power of the
hordes.
The coat-of-mail came next, as a
power-bearing equipment.
The knight in steel armor was i'm
pregnable against mere hand weapons
or projectiles.
On an armored horse, he was equal
to hundred footmen.
Alone, he was safe, except against
another of equal equipment and skill.
This was the feudal lord, who held
the lives and labor of serfs at the end
of his sword and spear.
He was the master of the "high, the
low, and the middle law"
Gunpowder shattered the military
power of the feudal lord.
A bullet, shot by "a man with the
hoe," was a deadlier weapon than a
spear.

Scott adds that no such program
can have real effect because it con-
tains only palliative and economic
opiates."

MARKET SWAPS
ON DIVIDEND

NEW YORK, June % U.N.SO.
ThesSstock market today swayed
with dividend developments.
Generally, however. the list
showed an improved tone follow
ing yesterdays break to new bear
market lows and, with the excep-
ton of the rails and a few spe-
cialties, went into the afternoon
behind plus signs.
Trading Speeds Up
Trading was at a more active
pace than in recent sessions with
the forenoon turnover promising
q B000,00 share session for the
first time in more than week.
Volume picked up noticeablX on
the advance and dried up on re-
actions.
A sharp rally occurred in the
second hour when directors of
Allied Chemical declared the reg
ular $3.50 dividend. This was a
surprise to Wall Street since a
sharp reduction had been con-
fidently predicted.
Allied jumped more than s
points on the news and the rest
of the list followed, with Auburn
squirting more than 8 points.
AtchiSon Omission Hurts
The improvement was lost when
Atchison omitted its dividend.
The hope during the forenoon
had been the rate would only
be halved. Atchison went to a
new low and carried the other
rails down with it.
The decline in the rails, which
carried Union Pacific down to a
new bear market low also, came
in the face of an increase OF
more than 10000 in Car loadings
for the week.
Fresh reactionary tendencies
cropped out in the early after.
noon with United States Steel
going to a new low. Coca Cola
was a weak speciality and broke
sharply to new low. American
