Whenever the flow of water is shut off from Lithia fountain during the tourist season ai emergency is immediately created and the condition dei rves to be dealt with as such. Another mat ar brought to the attention of the Tid ings in connection with our lithia water is that of the fountains at the Southern Pacific Depot. Although the flow of soda and lithia water at that point is seldom ever in te rfe re d with, tourists travelling on night trains are compelled to find their way to the fountains through the dark, or miss them entirely. A light placed at the. fountains Mould obviate the necessity ot tourists making many inquiries as to their location and give to strangers a far better impression of the city. SOCRATES AND THE HEMLOCK Socrates was condemned to drink the hemlock be cause he made a nuisance of himself. He developed the disconcerting habit of buttonholing the young men of Athens on the streets and by adroit questioning made them examine their stock of ideas. What do you believe? Why do you believe? Can your beliefs about yourself, the gods, the commonwealth, your money, stand the test of a rigid cross-examination ? These were the questions he asked and to which he de manded an answer. Summon your opinions before the bar ot your reason and submit them to the analysis of logic, of experience, of common sense. Of course an old husv-body like that could not he allowed to live. He was a heretic because he put an in terrogation point upon the popular religion. He was an anarchist because he refused obeisance to the ancient tra ditions. He was a disturber of peace because he made men think. “ Men fear thought, as they fear nothing else on earth—more than ruin, more even than death,” says Ber trand Russell. Yet whatever provokes thought is good. W hatever lulls one into a self-satisfied somnolence is bad. “ In many cases business men In spite of its sixtv-nine news NEW YORK, Aug. 22.— Women ‘listening in’ to the radio econ papers p rinted in foreign lan- omic news have heard of sales have entered alm ost every pro- openings in countries as remote 1 fession, and now they have b e -! guages, th e Am ericanization of come a useful addition to one ofj th ° E ast Side S°es on autom ati- as A ustralia,” Dr. Klein said. “ In one particular case an of New Y ork’s leading masculine in - ; caliy, thanks to the alert follow- • — fice boy of a big Middle W estern dustries— rum -running.

WE HAVE INSTALLED A A brief summary of foreign and NEW MACHINE FOR domestic conditions is followed by EVERYBODY VOTE Some magazines like Colliers and the Homeletic Re view, and some organizations, are making an earnest ef fort to stimulate interest in the exercise of suffrage. According to some careful observers there is a grad ual lessening of the sense of civic responsibility that augurs ill for the republic. Colliers states editorially: In each national election since 1896 the proportion of voters has dwindled. In 1896, 80 per cent of those quali fied to vote did vote; in 1900, 73 per cent; in 1908, 66 per cent; in 1920, less than 50 per cent. Four years ago 54,- 421,832 Americans could have voted, but only 26,786,753 did so. “ Such is the descending curve of American democ racy. Unscrupulous politicians get where they want by herding their masses of unthinking voters to the polls. Is n ’t it time more thinking voters were heard from? “ Instead of being a parlor patriot, a rocking-chair Paul Revere, let t ich American prove his righfrto citizen ship.” The following pledge which each citizen makes to ; himself and fulfills as a m atter of personal honor and I self-respect is suggested: “ I pledge myself to vote at the coming election.

These messages have been received by nearly all stations in Europe, across the North Pole, but they have not been received in Alaska, the United States or Canada. MacMillan’s ship, the Bowdoin, now frozen in at Refuge Harbor, lati tude 78.30 north, longitude 72.30 west, has found that the only station with which it can communicate regularly is that of Jack Barnsley, station 9BP, of Prince Rupert, B. C., and since Sept. 7, 1923, all press stories from the Bowdoin and all messages to and from it have been handled through Barns ley. Other stations have heard WNP (the Bowdoin) but all report very un satisfactory reception. Why is this? That is the question radio experts are asking. What mysterious, invisible barrier prevents these messages from reaching this country? Is it the influence of the aurora borealis or the magnetic pole that causes a “dead spot” surrounding the pole on this hemisphere? These questions the Aerial League of America has set itself to solve, and the co-operation of all radio amateurs is invited in the tests. Prizes will be offered by the league for the best re ports of experiments by amateurs. The object of the research work is, first, to ascertain the effect of daylight, twilight, and darkness; ice, water, snow, verdure, atmospheric conditions and geological formations on radio. Second, to ascertain and define the location and strength of natural Hi«, turbances and interferences acting upon receiving stations all over the world, under various conditions. Third, to locate and map the “dead areas” of the earth, and delve into the causes of the mysterious barriers to radio transmission. Fourth, to find out whether radio signals travel equally rapidly through earth, air, and water.

Under a test, it was found of service in all ordinary uses and in many cases satisfactory for replacing ball and roller types. Thousands of tiny pores give the metal the qualities of a blotter or a wick. In a demonstration, a kerosene lamp was fitted with a bushing of this material, instead of a cotton wick, and burned is long as the liquid lasted. The pen which is of strong wood, ac commodates a large animal and has a compartment for egg boxes and other produce. A gate at the rear serves as an entrance and a halter tied to the slats holds the animal steady- while the machine is in motion.

Fruit skins can be cut into basket handles and other fancy patterns that only a skilled person could achieve with an ordinary knife. It is made of durable metal, nickel plated, and the blades are strongly riveted to the
