UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Perhaps you know the metal which
runs around" when you hold a
little of it on the palm OF your hand.
Yes, it is mercury, also called quick
silver.
Mercury is metal which keeps its
liquid form in the air, unless it is
placed where it is so cold it will
freeze. 1t will freeze at about 40
degrees below zero Fahrenheit.
Another way to harden mercury
Is to use it in coating a piece of
metal Of another kind. Dip the
metal In mercury, and it will come
out with a coat of mercury.
Other metals, as we find them in
everyday life, are hard. If we want
to turn them into liquid, we must
heat them.
Lead melts at lower point than
most other metals. The melting
point is about $40 degrees above
zero Fahrenheit.
To melt silver. you must use far
more heat than for lead. The silver
melting point is 1852 degrees above
zero.
When silver is heated until it be-
comes molten, it takes in a great
deal of oxygen from the air. If the
molten mass cools slowly, this gas
goes back slowly to the air. On the
other hand, silver "spits' when it is
made to cool at a fast rate. Gas
bursts through the crust and hurls
out little pellets of silver.

suit with far less risk, and six hearts
could hardly have been lost as the

South's bidding should take some
sort of prize. 1t all started in an
innocuous manner. After North's
opening club bid East passed, de-
Gliding to await developments, and
South, who should have bid one
heart, decided on one no-trump.
North rebid his clubs and then East
decided to interject bid of two
spades. At this point South, being
unable to think of another bid,
passed. North quite properly went
to three clubs. East passed, and
now South decided to take terrific
gamble on three no-trump. When
East doubled, South, although he
held no sign of a spade stopper,
boldly stuck by his guns.

ROADS MUST Be BUILT
into BIG HOLE BASIN

An effort has been put forth by
a number of individuals and organi-
cations to have the Montana High
way Commission construct a rcd
into the Big Hole Basin to the town
of Wisdom. There is not a sports
man, fisherman, business man OF
pleasure seeker who has ever tray
eled the road into the Big Hole
Basin but realizes the need Of a
permanent paved or oiled highway
between the metropolis of Montana
and the famous Basin.
Evidently members of the High
way Commission are lodging the
issue because when the matter was
brought to their attention, they put
the blame for lack of roads upon
the Federal Bureau of Roads at
Washington and minated it is upon
their decision when construction of
this highway will commence. If it
is true that the Federal Bureau of
Good Roads has the last word in
whether highways should be con-
structed into the Basin or not, and
the people of Montana should bonn
bard this commission with so many
letters that they will not afford to
dodge the issue.
The people of Montana want roads
built into the Big Hole Basin.
At the last general election the
citizens of Beaverhead county elect
ed a fine liberal member to the state
senate, Mr.. George Montgomery.
Organized labor and organized farm
ers r standing behind Mr.. Mont
gomery in his efforts to have roads
constructed to Wisdom. It should
be remembered that this town,
located in the heart of the Big Hole
Basin, has no railroad facilities and
the closest railroad point is Divide,
nearly so miles away. Shoppers
from the Big Hole Basin either must
go to Anaconda, Dillon, Butte, or
Salmon, Idaho. 1t isn't the question
of whether one town will get the
benefit or not, it isn't a question of
whether Butte, Anaconda or Dillon
or Salmon will get the business out
Big Hole Basin, but it is a CUES
ton to all the people of all this dis
trict whether the people Of Big Hole
Basin shall have adequate highway
facilities.

What The Magazines
Are Saying

The fact that the preservation of
democracy sometimes demands the
delegation of far-reaching authority,
and the fact that the possession of
such authority may corrupt those
who WELD it, reinforce another posi-
tive requirement of democracy. To
understand this requirement we
must take note of the psychological
effects of holding power, and the
historical evidence which indicates
that many democratic organizations
sooner or later become instruments
of a minority group which Identifies
its interests with the interests of the
organization as a whole, and which
keeps power by fraud, myth, and
force. This lesson is that a posi-
tive requirement of a functioning
democracy is an intelligent distrust
of its leadership, a skepticism, stub
born but not blind, of all demands
for the enlargement of power, and
an emphasis upon critical method
in every phase Of education and So
cial life.-Sidney Hook, ibid.
