 "Listen to Aurora" replied Nance softly. q wanted to read, but Cousin Columbine's books look stuffy; and Aurora tells me there's no public library. She says no one in Pine Ridge has time to read. What do they do-evenings, I mean?'

 It was after Mark Adam had con tinued on his way, fortified by . substantial dinner and armed with a pumpkin pie and Aurora's "com- pliments" for Jack, that Nancy carried a glass of warm milk into Cousin Columbine's bedroom, and asked If there were anything she could do for the invalid.
 "You can sit down and let me look at you," responded the old lady. i've got the upper hand of this cold already. and am staying here only because believe in safety first Every hour wasted by sickness makes me impatient. There's so much to do Tn this won- derful old world; and when you're over seventy there's such a little time to do 1t in. Aurora tells me Jacks getting on all right-not that I expected anything else.

Washington is suffering from hangover of the pro-
hibiton era-the hidden bar.

thinking and political hypocrisy which the American people
thought they had killed when they sank the prohibition amend
ment under avalanche of votes

plants, The nitrogen is inert.
We breathe it into our lungs
and we discharge it back into
the atmosphere. Similarly, in
a fireplace, it goes through the
burning fuel and up the Chin
ney, taking a lot of heat along
with it.
Why are we hampered with
so much nitrogen? The answer
is that Nature did not develop
around fuel-burning power
plants, automobiles and air.
planes.
Nature evolved an animal
kingdom that could put up
with the excess nitrogen, a
vegetable kingdom that was
based upon it's presence, and
then left it to the animal King
dom to live off the vegetable.
EASY TO OBTAIN
At one time the earth's atmos-
phere may have had more oXy-
gen than nitrogen. Hydrogen, in
being oxidized to form the huge
quantity of water on earth'
must have used vast amounts.
The forming of the mineral
oxides, of which the earth's
crust is made, consumed still
more.
When we living things came
along, much of the oxygen had
become locked up in these
chemical unions.
When man became civilized
and began to make use of com.
bustion, he became aware Of
the badly adulterated condition
of the air. He realized that If
there were not so much inert
nitrogen in the air, better COM
buStion would be obtained.

continue? And where does who
go from here? For it's all too
evident that somebody's got to
go somewhere, pronto.
The restlessness-that's the
big problem. Not that female
restlessness is anything new.
Females never were anything
else. Funny how men have
kidded themselves into the no
ton that women are the quiet,
stay-put sex! There never yet
was a healthy woman who
didn't like to CAD.
Barring a Mexican Jumping
bean, or a dose Of hives, I
doubt if there's a more restless
outfit on earth than the aver
age female. And the reasons
plain enough.
NOW WHAT?
Women originally lived on
the trail, same as men. Made
camps, and moved 'em. Bore
their babies behind any bush,
then hustled along to the next
excitement. Civilization, when
it happened, was a lot tougher
on women than on men.
Men have gone on following
the hunting trail pretty much
as they always did-but it GER
tainly cramped the MissiS' style.
If you have a house, and
valuable things in that house,
somebody's got to watch them.
So women were elected.
Now that women have busted
loose, what's going to make
them settle down again? And
how are we going to have Regu-
lar Homes or Business as usual
unless they do settle down?
But they could farm out their
babies? And they've proven
they can hold a job as we'll as
a man? They certainly could
and have. But the simple
truth is-THERE ISN'T ROOM
IN THE HUMAN PROGRAM
FOR ALL THESE WOMEN
WHO WANT TO HOLD JOBS.
Business wasn't organized for
that.
It was organized with the idea
that half of the population was
going down to the office and
the other half wasn't.
But suppose they all want to
go-Who wins?
This point, as you may have
noticed, is beginning to be a
red-hot question. For the girls
already know the answer-or
think they do. And there's no
use kidding yourself, Big Boy

The World of Science
By Hiram Percy Maxim

) Science ultimately was led to
produce straight oxygen, with
which it experimental in i'm
proved combustion.
Oxygen IS now easy to obtain.
All that is necessary is to force
a current of electricity through
water. This breaks up the water
into its constituent parts, one
part oxygen to two parts hydro
gen. The hydrogen is BY
product, but it is useful.
When a straight oxygen was
used as a draft under burning
fuel, the results were amazing.
The fire burned as no fire had
been known to burn before.
The most slug gish fuels
burned like gunpowder. A piece
of iron or steel, after being
heated red hot, burns faster in
oxygen than does a piece Of
paper in ordinary air. When a
blast of oxygen is played upon
a lump of red hot coal, a terrific
heat and light are produced.
OPPORTUNITY
Now that an era has come
when enormous quantities Of
fuel have to be burned to obtain
the vast amounts of power we
need, the cost of the fuel be-
comes vital. Anything that will
permit lower grade fuel to be
burned satisfactorily, results in
huge savings.
In the steam boiler, could the
air draft be made richer in
oxygen, all manner Of inexpen-
sive fuels could be burned.
In all places where the gaso-
line engine is used, air that was
even half oxygen and half inert
nitrogen, would make cheap oil
as satisfactory as high grade
gasoline.
The only reason we do not use
this air that is rich IN oxygen,
is that we have not worked out
a way to extract cheaply the
inert nitrogen.
The first person who designs
a simple contrivance which will
"sift" half the nitrogen out Of
the air, before the air is drawn
into cur engines and steam boil
ers, will have his name placed
high on the scroll Of fame.

This announcement has q
significance all it's own for sew
eral reasons. Governor Gard
ner's appointment is one of a
small number made under this
or any other administration in
recent years of which it can
be truly said that "the office
sought the man."
In the case of Governor Gard
ner, however, it was necessary
for the Federal Communications
Commission to enlist the serv.
ices of even higher officials at
both ends of Constitution Ave.
nue. to induce him to accept
this arduouS task.
ASSURED FREEDOM
Those who have followed
Governor Gardner'S record in
public life will not need to be
told that he would not have
been willing to become chief
counsel in an investigation of
this magnitude unless he could
be assured the largest measure
of freedom to probe to the
bone and to lay bare every
fact concerning all telephone
companies now in operation,
the pressure Of pork-barrel
politicians, financial magnates,
campaign contributors and Spe-
cial interests to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
Having declined public office
under the present Adminsitra-
ton soon after the national
election of 1882, Governor
Gardner insisted upon resigning
as a member of the Democratic
National Committee, when, upon
his completion of his record
breaking term as governor, he
resumed the practice of the law.
1t was the power of this ex-
ample-this voluntary resigna-
tion-which finally proved an
influential factor, many knew
this later, in helping the Presi-
dent to begin the cleanup of
the National Committee of his
own party and to encourage,
even though he has not yet
achieved, similar cleanup in
the National Committee of the
opposing party.
