HOOD RIVER GLACIER. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1912
A BIG BANK VAULT
Hail! Woodrow Wilson!
Americans are Americans first-ami party men
afterwards.
So hats off to the winner, everybody.
A majority of the people in these United States
have decided that Wilson is the Best Man for the
Big Job. It was a fair fight and the winner de
serves, now that the battle is over, the support of
all good citizens.
Some of us may not agree with President Wil
son's policies. But, a majority have gone to the
polls and declared for him as the best man for our
biggest position, so let us agree now that his elec
tion is for the good of the whole country. Let us
all do our share to make President Wilson's admin
istration the best the country has ever had.
Here in Hood River, as elsewhere, opinions
were divided before election.
Some wanted to continue the Taf t administra
tion; some worked for the election of Roosevelt;
some were for the winner. We disagreed vigor
ously until the results were in.
Now we are united in our support of the next
President of the United States.
Privately we may be Democrats, or Republi
cans, or Progressives, or Prohibitionists, orJSocial
ists. But publicly, we are first, last and all the time
Americans.
Simply Americans. And that means that we
are all working for the greater prosperity, the
greater unity, the greater social, industrial and
moral advancement of our country.
So-Hail to President Wilson, the choice of
the American people.
Like the rest of us, Mr. Wilson is an American.
None can question that he has sinceraly at heart
the best interests of the United States. He knows
that the welfare of all the people depends upon our
commercial prosperity. We do not believe, there
fore, that he will .inaugurate any policies, or permit
any legislation that will be damaging to business
and prosperity.
We believe in our country in the ability of its
citizens and its officials.
Here at our store, then, we are looking forward
to several years of unabated prosperity and indus
trial growth. The conditions are all favorable.
Farmers were never more prosperous. Nor were
agricultural prospects ever better. During the past
six months, business has kept up wonderfully in
nearly all lines.
All producers of raw materials for mansf actur
ing are behind in their orders right today.
Exports are increasing.
Prices are steady and good.
Wages are good in all lines and there is plenty
of work to be done.
Capital may be had by those who need it to
conduct business.
We anticipate, therefore, during the next few
years, sustained development along all lines.
Our policy will be exactly the same as it has
been in the past: The Best of Service, and Our
'Money Back' Guarantee with Your Every Purchase.

How Its Doors Were Opened by

THE MAGIC OF AN AEROGRAM.
A DlUmma Frsm Which Grt Fl.
nanclal Institution Extricated Itaalf
In Oeubla Quick Tima by Rapid
Exchange of Wiraloaa Diapatohaa.
To the ordinary layman, too busy or
too indifferent to bother bis bead wltb
scientific matters, wireless telegraphy
ia somewhat of a mystery. In a gen
eral way he know that by It messages
are flashed through the air orer oceans
and mountains, but be does not reallza
to what an extent and In what rarled
rol-g the awlal magic plays !ta parta
in daily life. In "The Wireless Man"
the author. Francis A. Colllna, nar
rates an Instance In which aerograms
averted a possible financial mishap.
He writes:
"A secret, even a Tery big one, may
be lutrusted to the wireless man and
flung halfway across the Atlantic
with complete safety. There was the
case, for instance, of the president of
a (treat New York bank who sailed for
Europe without leaving the combina
tion of the locks of the vaults. As a
rule, the combination la a single word,
snd the secret Is known only to two or
three. In (his case, by an oversight,
there was no one left ashore who knew
the key. The money and aecurlties of
the buuk were very safely locked away,
and hours of work would be required
to force the locks of the safe deposit
vaults.
"The bank president's steamer bad
sailed at 6 o'clock of a summer's morn
ing to catch a favorable title, and
when the bank's officials tried to open
the vuults at about 9 o'clock the
steamer carrying the secret was up
wnrd of two hours at sea. A hasty
examination showed that there was
but one way to oien the vaults, short
of breaking into them, and that was
by setting the code from the presi
dent, serenely unconscious of the trou
bles ashore." To delay opening the
vaults would, of course, be a very seri
ous matter. If the plies of money were
not ready behind the bnrred windows
promptly at 10, the fact would be
known within a few minutes through
out the financial section. A serious run
on a buuk tins been started for a less
cause.
"In the old days, before the cable, the
secret could not have been gained In
less than two or three weeks at best,
or until a messago had reached the
president by mall and returned across
the Atlantic. The cable alone would
have cut the delay In two by catching
the traveler on his arrival on the other i
side. Meanwhile the bank officials,
hastily summoned to a conference, had
acted quickly. The wireless stations
had been no tided, and a message ex
plaining the situation was flashed from
the top of a high building In New York
and from the Sen Gate and Nantucket
stations. All this wns the work of less
than ten minutes.
Now the combination word used to
lock up these millions In gold, currency
and securities ia, of course, not a piece
of Information to be flashed broadcast
along the Atlnntlc coast. It would be
known to scores of people, even if the
stations receiving guarded the secret
with the utmost care. The officials
therefore Impressed upon the president
the Importance of sending his message
In the private code used by the bank In
its Important cables. As the hour for
opening the bunk approached the offi
cials waited with an lmpatleuce which
may be lmugtned.
"The wireless message was banded
to the bank, president as he sat at
breakfast well out to sea. It was now
exactly 0:10. There was a sudden va
cancy at that particular table. After
one glance at the aerogram the presi
dent, reullzliig the situation to the lust
detail, rushed mildly for his stateroom
to search for his codo book. A few mo
ments luter a dignified elderly gentle
man mulled into the wireless booth, de
mandlug at any cost that his message
be given the right of way. He got It.
"An aerogram expressed In an unin
telligible cipher was soon being Hushed
with the full power of the apparatus.
The wireless stations along the coast
bad been ordered to expedite the mes
sago In every way and were waiting
anxiously for It It was read by two
stations on the Long Island coast and
repeated hurriedly to Now York. A few
minutes later the clerk at the telephone
In the bunk was carefully writing out
the strange Jumble of letters and trans
lating them into Intelligible Kngllsh.
The clock pointed to twenty minutes
to 10, the bunk's opening hour, when
the great steel door swung noiselessly
open on its binges uud the dity whs
saved."

WASHING OUT A WOUND.
Tinotur of lodins It About the Safest
Antiseptio to Use,
Carbolic acid, one of the most valu
able antiseptics known to Burgeons, la
at the same time one of the most dan
gerous. It is used daily, almost hour
ly, by operators in the hospitals. The
layman who understands its perils
nay wash wounds out with it safely,
but the best surgeons say that Inex
perienced persons bad better let It
alone.
No wound should ever be bound up
wltb bandages soaked In even the
mildest solution of carbolic acid, for
tbe skin absorbs It readily, and poison
ing Is opt to follow prolonged use. An
eminent New York surgeon bad a case
a few weeks ago of a child whose fin
ger bad turned black after being
dressed too long with a 2 per cent so
lution of carbolic acid, and wben be
called this paper's attention to the
cose he was expecting to be obliged
to cut off the finger.
The most commonly used antiseptic
Is bichloride of mercury (corrosive
sublimate), but this is one of the dead
liest poisons known and as it baa no
color or odor Is easily mistaken for
water. To avoid this It is customary
to color solutions of It Colored tab
lets are made especially for making
solutions of any given strength. Dr.
Albert S. Morrow In "The Immediate
Care of the Injured" says it should be
used as a wet dressing on wounds in
a solution of 1.200O of 1.6O00, the lat
ter made by dissolving one Vk grain
tablet In 2 quarts of water. As a
wash for a wound It may be used In a
l.KKO solution (one 7V4 grain tablet to
a pint of water).
Iodine la another antiseptic that Is
highly recommended. It Is used com-
j monly on dirty wounds, where there
is danger or inrection ana a uociur
services are not Immediately avail
able. In such cases the tincture of
Iodine Is used pure and Is applied by
dinninir a wad of cotton or antiseptic
gauze In It and swabbing out th
wound, being careful to penetrate this
thoroughly. New York woria.
