TIIE GREAT NORTHERN V3. THE S. P.
THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC opposes the joiniiiy of the Groat
Northern uni t lie Western J'neifie, tluw euuliling a new
tiHMKccintiiicnlii line to lie const met ed through Central Oregon
I'rtwitlent, Shoup maintains mivh a.consoliiliition would rep
resent a wasleful railroad duplication, and tm.fiiKlly take reve
nue from'. dixti'Ict the. .Southern J'ueifie lnm developed, mid to
which it in exclusively entitled.
' Such an altitude i'roin the Southern Pacific is to be expected,
but we can'), believe it will bo sustained by the Iutcratato Com
merce Commission, or by public opinion.
Such an argument, if carried to its logical concfliision, would
mean the elimination of every railroad competing1 in the West
and Southwest with the Southern Pacific, because it pioneered
this vast region. If applied with reverse English, it would re
duce all the railroad systoiqa of this country to one control and
management. This may come about eventually but until it docs,
it seems to us that such reasoning might well be disregarded.
1 v ..
AS long as "reasonable'.' competition is accepted as desirable
in the railroad business, the important point in this con
troversy is the matter of public welfare.
Which is better for the industrial development of this part
of the coast, particularly from the standpoint of Southern and
Central Oregon? That tliere should be' ono transcontinental
railroad or two? The obvious answer is two. - 1
''' "
ALL the Great Northern asks is the right to build about 200
miles of railroad, connecting tho Great Northern and the
Western Pacific and thereby putting a through line from St.
Paul to San Francisco ,
- Should the fact that this connection may lake some business
in former Southern Pacific territory be considered more im
portant than the fad, that Oregon and the Northwest would
secure a- new transcontinental
products from Sau Francisco to Denver,? , i
Such a contention would he absurd. We heartily agree with
the Oregon Journal when it says:
Only 200 miles to put Portland anil Oregon and the Oregon
country In direct touch with the entire Western Pacific Bystom and
Its connoctlng lines, Willi evory officer,, every traffic man and
every station agent of the Wostorn Pacific and Its connecting
lines directly Interested In securing traffic from the Pacific North-'
west! Only 200 miles to make the Western Pacific and its pow
erful connecting linos and their tremendous organizations sales.
Ihen for tho products of the Pacific Northwest!
Orognn ought not to debate over' what to do about that con
v noctlng link of 200 miles. It ought to be pleading for It.
WHAT'S THE MATTER
WK believe someone should
title,: and thus gain fame,
many years ago in Kansas. '
For that something serious is
particularly with her courts, we
The irregularities and probable miscarriage of justice in the
famous Sacco-Vanzetti case have previously been pointed out
in this column. In spile of the disclosures of the "Outlook,"
us far as we have been able to determine, nothing has been done,
by the state, to disprove the serious uharges made.
And now tliere is a case in the courts of Massachusetts simi
btr to tho Sacco-Vanzetti "crime," and in some ways even moro
flagrant in Its obvious injustice to an alien suspect.
'
A YOUNG Kalian by the inline of Gangi Cero was found
guilty of killing a eonijiulrinl by the nitine of Joseph Fan
tasia and sentenced In hang., Cero throughout. iniiiiiUiiiied his
innocence mid the only evidence against hiin was that he bad
run from the scone of I he crime, and thut he had refused to
tuko the stand in his defense.
Hut for tho capture of Cero's companion, Samuel Gallo, it
is probable Hie former would have shared tho fato of Sacco and
Vanzetti, but a few 'days before
was caught, an investigation was instituted, and as a result Cero
was reprieved, while Gallo was tried and found guilty of the
murder.
This would have seemed to have ended the ease, as far as
Cero was concerned. For the stale only maintained one of the
two men was guilty, as there was no evidence of a conspiracy
and only one man did the shooting.
Moreover, tho .evidence proved that Gallo was a gangster,
Cero was not, Gallo had a deep grievance against the murdered
man, Cero had none. Several witnesses testified they had seen
Gallo kill Fantasia, while Cero. at the first shot, ran. -
v-
NEVERTHELESS, the State of Massachusetts has now re
opened the caee and decided both men must be tried again
and together, Quite properly, we think, has Mr. F. Lauriston
Dullard of tho lJoslon Herald demanded another investigation.
But wo can't quite agree with him
ation exists in the whole history of Massachusetts."
Tho Sacco-Vanzctti case would seem to furnish a striking
and deadly parallel. In both cases radical aliens were involved,
in both cases there is something more than a suspicion, that the
courts have been more interested in "saving their face" than in
upholding (he basic principle that all men, regardless of their

THE VIntAVlOLET IXFLUEN'CE
Window, glass that, admit a
considerable pnrt of the ultravio
let rays of sunlight, costs around
$1.40 a square foot. That Is not
more. In fact I believe slightly
lest than plate glans costs. tio
It seems fulr to say that every
family that can afford an auto
mobile can ufford to have some
or all of tho
windows of the
home glased
with . this new
kind of glass.
It is now mado
by various large
glass manufac
turers. A reader re-
mlndu r
cently when I
attempted to answer that lrre
presHlblo query: Why do folks
have moro colds In the winter
and spring if exposure to cold
and wet has nothing to do with
it? In my answer I neglected
to point out the absence of tho
ultraviolet influence In the winter
tlmo. . ,
The relative proportion' of ul
traviolet rays in sunlight is low
est in mid-winter and highest in
midsummer. The shortest day in
tho yoar falls on or about mid
winter when tho noonday sun is
lowest and Its rays most oblique.
Precious little ultraviolet then,
even when tho Bun shines. Wo
avoid what little there Is by re
maining more indoors and cover
ing our skin against the sunlight
when we do go out.
Something In this ultarviolet In
fluence seems to be essential for
the development of immunity
(i km Inst infection in general and
respiratory infection in particular.
Consider, for Instance, the great
benefit obtained from suubuth
treatment for tuberculosis among
children. As thoy erraduallv ac-
qulro a mahogany tan they get
well:
no tanning doesn t cure
thorn, but merely indicate hmv
much ultraviolet they have ab
sorbed. Of course It Is purely theory
that tho relative lack o ultra
violet Influence in tho winter tlmo
accounts for tho greater frequency
of respiratory Infections In tho
spring;. But it is at loast a reas
onable explanation.
Altho tho special glass that
transmits ultraviolet rays la
not SO expensive. mnnv nnnnln
may still find a temporary win-1
dow that will admit Iho ultraviolet.!
won n usintr. sandwich a strip of
cellophano which may (bo obJ
tallied from hardware dealers) b(
tween two frames of Inch mesh
chicken wlro. This makes a win
(low that will stand weather a
year, und It admits virtually as
targe a proportion of the ultra
violet rays as tho special glass
does; a homemade window of
this description costs less than a
bottle of cough medicine
Kvory household whoro thcro
aro young children should havo
at least ono room equipped with
such windows, on tho sunniest
side of tho house, whoro the
children can enjoy tho benefits of
ultraviolet Influence all day.
Of course tho direct sunlight
upon tho naked skin Is the" best
of all sources of ultraviolet ray
treatment. If dlroct sunlight Is to
be had. The midsummer sunlight
Is richest in ultraviolet rays, and
the four or five hours In tho mld
dlo of tho day when the suns
rays aro most nearly vortical, are
tho best for ultraviolet ray or
sunbalti treatment. i

TALKIE MYSTERY
NOT SO COMPLEX
CHICAGO (P) Movie fans nil
know what makes the talkies talk,
but there are some whispers In
scientific laboratories still, left to
be revealed. vr"-
One of these Is tho 'reputed
"silent" film of the silver screen.
When tested for recording sound,
some of this film was found to be
surprisingly noisy. Tho racket
came from microscopically' fine ir
regularities in tho silver - grains
forming the sensitized surface, of
the film. These noisy, rough spots
were gotten rid , of by making a
smoother emulsion for the film
surfaces.
Another whisper la the "fader,"
This Is part of a control hat can
amplify sound in talkie apparatus
by 100,000,000 times. Its use is
not to make extremely loud sounds
but to fade them down to such real
whispers in volume that the sound
from a new reel may be broadcast
without being heard by anyone ex
cept the operator, while the old
reel Is finishing. It is used to syn
chronize the sound reels.
j Tho start of all the talkies was
in anoiner piece or apparatus oi
the whisper-catching' variety, made
in the Bell laboratories of New
York by Dr. Edward C Wente of
the research department.
The experts at.the Western Elec
tric company here, where talkie
machines are manufactured, ' say
that making the-talkies talk is very
simple. One type, they say does
It with a film and the other with
a recording disc.
But right there -the simplicity
ends, as they describe the extreme
care used to obtain precision in
manufacture. They tell of mea
surements dealing with ten-thousandths
of an Inch, machines so
delicate they are operated only
after midnight when cars are not
causing vibration.
They tell of workingmcn thrust
ing their hands into dust j proof
cabinets -to make (some sensitive
parts, and wearing rubber gloves
that uro sealed Into the cabinets.

the '"soap clay" which had a brief
boom in the '80s. Is being brought
back into prominence by the curl
osity of modern scientists.
Studies connected with the bu
reau of mines and the Mackay
school of mines at the University
of Nevada Indicate that this odd,
little known mineral may have a
wide variety of uses lu present day
life.
Described as a rock containing
75 per cent or more of clay-Hke
minerals, it has the peculiar prop
erties) of being capable of absorbing
many times its volume of water,
taking on the appearance of soft
soap.
It Is abundant in various parts
of tho United States, Canada and
other countries. Hudson's Hay
posts once used it for washing
blankets, and in 1888 it was put
on the market at $25 a ton. The
price quickly dropped to $5. how
ever, and interest in it was not re
vived until a few years ago. Among
oil drillers it was merely a nui
sance. Since the scientific investigation
of its properties was begun, nil
herons uses tor purified bentonite
have been suggested. While only
a few have been tested, the sugges
tions ' point to usefulness in the
manufacture of paper, linoleum,
curtain cloth, cordage, rubber, ceramics,-
Portland cement, lubricat
ing greases, putty, phonograph rec
ords, crayons, plasters, paste, glue,
shoe and stove polishes.
Some of Its qualities would make
It' useful, it is thought, in the
manufacture of soaps, horticultural
sprays, animal dips, insecticides,
fungicides, paints, inks, water
proofing plasters and dynamite; in
the de-inking of printed papers, the
treatment of molasses, the refin
ing of oils and fats, and in the re
moval of water from petroleum; as
a water softener and an aid to fertility.
