COMMENTS MADE
ABOUT EMBLEMS
CLAIM INSTEAD OF SAYING
1T WITH FLOWERS. GUNS
ARE NOW BEING USED
fnr AssocInteh pressl

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-Hans
Adamson of the American Mu-
scum of Natural History says:
at seems that most of the
countries today have flowers as
national emblems-but most of
them are not saying it with flow
ers-but with guns"
In the international battle with
flowers, the Scots would start
with the advantage. Theirs is
the thistle. They selected the
wayside thistle, says the Mul
seum's publication, Natural His
tory, because it helped them re-
pei the Danes
These Norsemen were one
night creeping toward a Scot
camp for a surprise attack. A
barefooted Dane trod on a thistle
and cried out. This warning de-
feated the attackers.
Anyhow it is good story. So
good that it is also told about
Robert Bruce.
England and Jersia would both
have to fight with roses. They
would be allies in flowers. India
and Egypt both have the lotus
for national flower.
Wales and Spain might get
something practical out of their
fighting flowers. Wales has the
leek, a vegetable; Spain, the
pomegranate.
The Welsh Ieek. according to
tradition, was a war choice. St.
David ordered his men TO wear it
to distinguish them from the
BritoFls in battle.

EVERY EFFORT
MADE TODAY To
GET OUT VOTE
AMPLIFIERS ARE USED TO
AROUSE PUBLIC TO GET
OUT AND CAST BALLOTS
IN GENERAL ELECTION

Determined is the effort which
is being made today to get out
as large vote as possible before
the polls close at r.:43 o'clock this
evening, and thele appears to be
a goodly number of people who
will go to the polls, and vote.
Early this mofning Bernard
Waite, treasurer of the Monroe
County Democratic Executive
Committee had fitted UP his auto
mobile with a pair of ainplifiers
and was riding over the city inn
pressing upon the voters, both
men and women, the idea of get
ting out and voting.
The Citizen covers a lot of
ground each day and during the
hours between 8 and IL met a
number of people who had heard
the voice through the amplifiers,
and had expressed themselves as
Cling to vote. II had not in
tended to, but that man broad
casting convinced me that I
ought to cast my ballot and / am
on my way, said one man and
similar things were said by
others.
Shown on the qualified list
which was published last Satur-
day, October 80, were 1891
names. There is naturally no way
of telling how many of these will
go to the polls today, and nothing
will be known until the final
vote is counted.
However it is confidently ex-
pected that the vote will be much
larger than it would have been
had it not been for the efforts by
Mr.. Waite and others who dis
played a like interest in getting
out the vote. These others did
not use amplifiers nor any me-
chanical devices, but there were
many ardent Democrats who
made it their business to contact
as many men and women as pos
sible, and convince them that it
was their duty, to the city, coun-
ty and state, to go to the polls
and vote the straight democratic
ticket.

SAYS SCIENTISTS
DESERVE MEDALS
WOULD GIVE THEM TO PER.
SONS MAKING INTEREST
ING SPEECHES
nr Aa.ocinted Pressl

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, Nov.
8.-Scientists who make interest
ing speeches deserve medals for
courage.
DR.. Frank C. Whitmore, dean
of the school of chemistry,
Pennsylvania State college, was
brave enough to mention synthe-
tic chewing gum in a recent talk.
This kind of gum never saw
anything from cnicle plants or
any other kind of tree. 1t is made
from coumarone, a resin that
comes from benzene.
DR.. Whitmore's audience smiled
when it heard about this new
chew. He mentioned it as one
example of hundreds of new or
ganic chemicals. He named
others, more prosaic. The gum
was, so to speak, the spice of the
program.
Newspapers reported the gum.
They omitted the hundreds OF
other products. The omission was
for lack of space. But DR.. Whit
more's friends in the scientific
world did not stop to investigate
why.
They sat down and wrote gibes
to DIR. Whitmore. They told him
aloud, when they met him. He
was taken for a ride" the one
kind of ride a scientist breads
most, the kidding of his col
leagues. xxsx
Yet DR.. Whitmore still ptitS toe
interesting things in his speeches

new ALPHABET
TO SAVE SPACE
BRIToN ENLARGES IT TO
CONSIST OF THIRTY
TWO LETTERS
nv As.ncinted pressl

WAKEFIELD, England, Nov.
8.-BecauSe he thinks English
spelling requires too many let
tiers, T. A. Braithwaite, a local
printer, has invented a 32-letter
alphabet.
He'd been worrying about it
for eight years, then the solu-
ton came to him in the middle
of the night. His alphabet would
keep the present rs letters, but
would add six new ones for the
sounds of:
Long "a" as in battle"
Long &c" as in need"
Long 20" as in code"
And eng" thee" and "shee."
Braithwaite is using the new
alphabet to print a book he has
written on "slum clearance and
town planning in the realm Of
letters" and predicts that it will
be adopted generally one of
these days.
''As printer" he said, Il quite
realize what an enormous cost it
would be for the printing trade
10 cast new letters, but | believe
that the outlay would be re-
couped within a year
Redundant letters being left
out and new symbols being used
would mean that a novel of ordi-
nary length could be reduced by
so pages and a newspaper page
of seven columns reduced by one
column, at a great saving in
paper and labor costs"
