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

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.

many inquiries as to their location and give to strangers

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.

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:

As a solution to the automobile

offers a circular steel garage “tower,”
consisting of a number of revolving

and each affording space for several
cars, which are to be raised to position
by an outside elevator. He estimates

Since July, 1922, when the Maud,
Amundsen’s exploration ship, made its
dash northward, and became frozen in
the ice in latitude 78° north, longitude
165° west, the ship’s radio has been
sending out two messages a day. 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.

Porous Bronze Bearings Help
Prolong Life of Auto
Absorbing oils and grease up to 25
per cent of its volume, a copper-tin
bronze automobile bearing recently
developed is expected to simplify the
problems of lubrication and to aid in
prolonging a car’s life. 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 Cutter Like Pliers Stamp«
Out Designs
Scalloped edges are placed on grape
fruit and orange halves for preparing
“fancy” salads and other dishes with
the aid of a pincer-shapeh device. It
has cutting blades shaped to stamp
out a design with the precision of a
die, and the leverage afforded by the
spring handles makes the task easy.
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
