PROGRAMS O’CLOCK After seven years the “tuta" light In the lighthouse on the roof of the Seamen's church institute has obtain- ed official recognition on the govern ment charts of New York horbor. For years this green beacon was ignored. Later it was recorded as a “fixed point." Now it is marked with a star on maps. The lighthouse was erected to com memorate the heroes of the greatest marine disaster in the modern world, the sinking of the steamship Titanic off Newfoundland April 15, 1912. The lighthouse was dedicated on the first anniversary of the disaster as a me morial created by public subscription and the work of prominent women. The light called “tute” by seamen, soon was guiding pilots who. as they “turned the Hook” 15 miles or more away, might make out the green and brilliant star supplied by the 7,500 candle power of three Cooper Hewitt quartz electric lamps 211 feet above the city streets. This green light on the starboard especially provided an excellent range for vessels making their way to the East river. The lighthouse also has carried since November 1, 1913, a ‘time ball 4 feet in diameter which drops each day at “standard mean" noon, when, as 'Arry remarks to Bill down In “the slip,” "she’s jes 5 er’clock In Lunnin.” occur only when the engine has been run a long time and the cylinders are worn.

BÜTTER WRAPPERS Printed to Your Order THE HERALD OFFICE The little village of San Juan Teotihuacan, which • in the Aztec lan guage meant “City of the Gods," was tn the early days of Aztec history the scene of extraordinary religious cere monies. The two pyramids, one dedi cated to the sun, the other to the moon, are known to have been the tombs in which hundreds of tribal dignitaries were burled and excava tors have exhumed wrought stone con taining human bones, obsidian knives, terra cotta heads with broad faces and flat noses, fragments of rare pottery and great numbers of arrowheads. One of the most recent and most valuable discoveries was a jadeite mask of some past monarch, with the brow covered with the diadem known to early Mexican history. The pyramid to the sun and the one to the moon both contain chambers and their sev eral stories are complete temples In themselves, but connected by winding stairs. The Inscriptions having Chinese characteristics were discovered through excavating in the ruins of what has generally been known as La Cindadela (The Citadel), but which, according to recent reports of investigators, are what is left of a pyramid larger and, perhaps, older than the two pyramids to the sun and the moon. Whence Comes Turpentine. Most people know that turpentine Is a product off the pine tree, but are not acquainted with the means by which It Is obtained. Beneath the bark of the tree are resin-secreting cells, whose output Is meant by nature for healing wounds. If the skin of the tree be wounded severely, many more of these cells, much larger In size, develop and pour out great quantities of resin. Hence, to procure the resin, the bark is well scarred with cuts (preferably mode in a series of parallel V’s), and a receptacle is placed beneath to catch the fluid as it exudes. The fluid is then distilled and the volatile part of It. which passes over, is turpentine. The residue Is what we call "rosin” and is used for many pur poses, one of its employments being In the manufacture of explosives.—Kan sas City Star. America’s Telephone Industry. According to the report by the bo reati of the census showing the results of the census cf telephones covering the year 1917. there are 53.234 separate telephone systems and lines. These Unes and systems operated 28.827,188 miles of wire in the United States— enough to girdle the earth at the equator 1.153 times—and connected 11,718,520 telephones and 21,175 public exchanges. The messages or “talks" sent over these wires antgregated the stupendous total of nearly' 22.000,000,000, or. to be exact, 21.845.7 22,335. Figured on the estimated population of the country In 1917, this gives 211 messages per an- num to every no an, woman and child. Heart Expels Bullets. During the war surgeons did some extraordinary opt rations on the heart. An account of these and of the tech nique is given by* Sir Charles Ballance, consulting surge on of St. Thomas' hos- pital, London. In the Lancet. An In teresting fact related by him Is that bullets that penetrated the heart were often expelled trough the aorta with the blood and were found at remote parts of the body where they had stuck in an artery. «Bump the Bumps” for Electric Iron.

San Francisco.—James M. Cox, gov ernor of Ohio, was nominated for pres- ident of the United States in the dem- ocratic national convention at 1:40 o'clock Tuesday morning. The con- vention then adjourned until noon Tuesday, to canvass the question of second place to complete the ticket. When the convention convened again at noon Tuesday it was decided to give second place on the ticket to the East. Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York, assistant secretary of the navy. The nomination of Cox came at the conclusion of a 44 ballot struggle in which he had steadily beaten down the forces of William O. McAdoo, ex- secretary of the treasury, and Presi dent Wilson's son-in-law. When the balloting on the 44th vote had reached a point where Cox had 702 votes and was rapidly approaching ths necessary two-thirds of 729, Sam “WAT K g te JAMES M. COX Who Received the Democratic Nom ination for President. B. Amidon of Kansas, manager of the McAdoo forces and vice-chairman of the democratic national committee, took the platform and moved that the nomination of Governor Cox be made unanimous. Nomination Made Unanimous. Immediately there was a roar from the tired and worn delegates which lasted for a full four minutes before Chairman Robinson could put the question on Amidon's motion to sus pend the rules and nominate Cox by acclamation. At 1:43 o'clock Tuesday morning the motion was formally voted over with a rolling chorus of ayes and a crash ing of the brass bands. State standards which had surged back and forth in the desperate hat ties of the deadlock raced to the front of the hall and to a place before the platform. The Cox band wagon movement really started late Monday afternoon before the recess for dinner. During the Interval both sides of the fight made desperate appeals to Tammany. Throughout the night New York's vote stood the same, 20 for McAdoo and 70 for Cox. On the third ballot of the evening session the slide to Cox start ed and before the leaders of the op position could realize It the votes were flopping over in twos and threes and fours in a fashion which sent him over the majority mark and put him at a new level. Georgia Goes to Cox. After that the going was easy. Georgia went into the Cox column with her 28, the withdrawal of Attor ney-General Palmer had released not only the Pennsylvania delegation, but other delegates who wanted to slide to the Cox column The accessions of twos, threes and fours soon grew iato blocks, and when the 44th ballot was well on Ita way the votes were tumbling Into the Cox column so fast that bls nomination seemed an as- sured fact. After 22 fruitless ballots, the con- vention gave up hopes of selecting s presidential nominee within the first week of Its session and adjourned on Saturday night until 10 o'clock Mon- day morning. When the convention i stopped Col was leading with 430. I McAdoo came next with 372%. Palmer was down to 166%. The final ballota of the night were full of McAdoo movement, but it failed to make much headway. The convention perfected its organ ization by accepting Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas as its perma nent chairman. ‘ ~ The fourteen candidates placed in nomination ware Senator Owen of Ok- ¡ahorna. Attorney General Palmer, Sen ator Hitchcock of Nebraska. Homer Cummings, chairman of the democratic national committee; William G. Mc Adoo, Governor Smith of New York, Governor Edwards of New Jersey, Secretary Meredith. Governor Cox of Ohio, James W. Gerard, ex-ambassa- dor to Germany; Senator Simmons of North Carolina. John W. Davis, am bassador to Great Britain; Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, and Francis Burton Harrison, governor general of the Philippines. No Speech for McAdoo. Dr. Burris Jenkins of Kansas City, who placed the ex-secretary of the treasury in nomination, made one of the shortest speeches on record when he merely announced that he placed Mr. McAdoo in nomination, fully as sured that if "drafted for the service of the nation” he would not refuse the nomination. Perhaps the most exciting scenes of the convention occurred when Senator Glass, chairman of the resolutions committee, presented the platform and the battle of the wets and drys got un der way. After the platform had been read without making mention of a prohibition plank, W. J. Bryan was recognised to’offer a bone-dry plank, as a minority report. W. Bourke Cochran of New York offered a plank permitting for home consumption the manufacture of cider, light wines and beer. E. L. Doheny of California presented a minority report on the Irish question, proposing a plank providing for the recognition of the Irish republic. Bryan Lambaste Liquor. Eryan, showing the oldtime fire of his oratory, lambasted the liquor in terests in his regular fashion. Beginning with an argument in sup port of the eighteenth amendment, Mr. Bryan soon got the convention to cheering. Every democratic state, he said, had ratified the amendment and every one recognized that the "liquor traffic is dead, never to be resurrected.” As he worked into his speech the Nebraskan mixed many Biblical refer ences with his rounded rhetorical per iods. His full voice filled the hall, and he got the galleries and some of the delegates going into longer and longer bursts of applause as he went on. Minnesota Woman Speaks. Mrs. Peter Olesen of Minnesota was called by Mr. Bryan in support of his program. She said she spoke In the name of the motherhood of America In supporting the dry declaration. In a dramatic emotional appeal which got the convention to its feet, ‘ Mrs. Olesen asked that God should help her in the fight she was making for it was for the sake of her child that she was fighting. "Let It never be said," she cried, "that the Democratic party thinks more of its appetites than of the chil dren of the land.' God speed the right.” " St. FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT Who Received the Democratic Nom ination for Vice-President. Mr. Cockran, arising to reply, said it is a peculiar thing in history that most of what is bad has been con ceived by people who were good, by 111 digested efforts to coerce people In their daily lives. "I am opposed to the word prohibí tlon. I abhor It. It is the word you will find chalked up In all the peniten tlaries. If it ts necessary to have pro hibition and to force the people to do what they do not want to do, then I say they are not fit for self govern ment and are ready for submission to a monarchy." All Amendments Fall. Secretary Colby and Senator Glass defended the platform as framed by the resolutions committee. In quick and successive votes the convention voted down by heavy ma jorities all attempts to amend tho re port of the platform committee and threw out all substitute proposals. In eluding the bone dry plank by William J. Bryan and the wet plank offered by W. Bourke Cockran. The administration's league of na- Hons plank as reported by the com mittee was sustained against all at- tacks. The administration supporters ware In contrai by heavy majorities ail along the line.
