Just a Mugg 1 am much interested in re«4fng about how New York coppers figure on putting down this crime wave, and as j near as I can figure out they have many fine ideas They are going to ebasr the lads on motorcycle*, and stop them In tho streets after midnight and ask them If they are square gays or what. Unless the Ians take to lying, more than somewhat, many of them will soon be In Jail, and then there will be no crime except what is going on as usual. The coppers In every town have different noUons about how to pul down crime waves, but I never hear of any better scheme than one which Is thought up by the chief of police back in my old home town out West. •Oils chief of police is a big guy by 1 the name of Mike Mortality, and ne Is s railroad fireman on the Santa Fe before he is elected chief. He has a mustache like an old-time second baseman and two very hard fists, and while h< does not know much about detective stuff and all this and that, he has Ideas, and for years he polirea our town very well indeed. Before Mike Is elected chief the lads come through our way going to and from the coasts, snd stop off between trains snd blow open our pete boxes, which is s wty of saying our safes, or put the Up on citizens in the streets, which is a way of saying they slug them, snd otherwise cut up very scandalous. It gets so there Is not much peace and quiet in our town, what with citizens going around bungd up from smacks on the head with blackjacks and one thing and another, and having thele houses robbed, and getting ehreted by confidence men, and all this and that, and there Is much iMIgnation. FlniJlv Mike is elected chief of police and he says he will see about this stuff which Is coming off around and about immediately. So he goes down to the Santa Fe railroad yards, and he hires himself half a dozen shacks, which is a way of saying brake-men, aa fast as they come In off their runs. These sharks are all strong fellows In every- respect, and -re well trained In throwing guys around, what with there always being so many bums 'Tying to beat their trains from one place and another, and Mike makes coppers out of them. Then the first day anything comes (off in our town which Is not exactly 1 right Mike sUris bis copperk out rounding up everybody who does not look good to them, and as very few people ever look good to a railroad shack they have quite a collection in no time, including peteraen. secondstory workers, stick-up guys, grafters and guys that are nothing much at all. Well then. Mu < and his coppers start working on these boys and all they do to them Is slug them. Of course this is a little rough on the boys, especially as Mike does much of the slugging himself, and can slug harder than anybody west of the Mississippi River, but something bas to be be done to save our town After the boys are slugged good Mike uirns them loose or sends them to the hospital s the case may be and tells them that the next time anything rise come* off !r town they will be slugged again. He asys ho does not care what they do In other towns, especially to Denver. which is our nearest large town, and they ran come and go in our town as long as they please If they behave themselves, but the minute anything happens In onr town they will be slug-

ged.

Furthermore, for a long time Mike make* It his business to go down and meet guys coming In on the train figuring to do something or other In onr town, and he slugs them right at the | depot so he will i ot have to bother | them later on. He never bars anybody jfrom our lean, especially if they are ■ coming In after doing a good burir.ea* | In some other town, but he will not ' stand for their committing any deeds | In our midst. Well, the upshot of it is pretty soon there is no crime to speak of In our town, and the citizens are as safe in I the streets as anywhere, except In Deni ver and olher nearby (owns where the boys go from our town to make s liv-

ing.

Once in s while some strangers -rill i do something In our town which Is agalns! thq law. but it gets so other i Uds slkg hton themselves before the case come* up before Mike, because I they know If nothing is done about It ‘ they win get slugged themselves. Well, of i-ours* there is some '.ndig- { nation In neighboring towns about out town harborir*: the boys, but this Is because the other towns do not snder- : bland the situation. The chancre are i our town will be as peaceful and quiet ! as any place on earth if Mike does not I finally get n't old he cannot slug as i good a* formerly. FurthfTraore be make* a mistake one day nnd slugs a leading meichant who is running his prices up so high Mike cann.it tell him from any other crook, and the othe- citizens who are - also boosting prices vet together and

1920 Record Year The Saltiness of for Railroads Sea Waler

Washington—American railroads are completing a record year and have j no Intention of asking for another general Increase In rate*. Thomas I>Wltt Cuyles. chairman of the Association of Railway Executives, declared recently In a statement reviewing the situation for 1S20. The year just ending. Chairmar Cuyler asserted, saw American rail loads placed again under private operation and under such direction saw them move i larger gross tonnage than ever before and also establish new records In the amount of transportation gotten out of each car. These records. Mr..j Cuyler added, were not achievtd by the railroads alone, but with the aid of shippers in unloading cars and with "the day and night, rain or shine, work of hundrsd* of thousands of employes. The H Ulway Executives’ Association chairmrn referred In his review to reports t'lat the railroad? plan to ask for forthe ineraae in rates, and in that connec ion said. "I know of no movement oo the part of the railroad for a general Increase In rat re nor do 1 expect i ny It is true that the railroad co ipanles are not yet receiving from tb • Increased "ate* anything like t'ue 6 i- t cent return needed, but the railway executives realize 'hat they are trui ere of a grat public Interest 1 In the rt -tuctlon of railroad operating expnses o the lowest possible figure, and no e fort will be spared during the . cou ln- yar 'o accomplish this by fur ther economics ..-’d efflr'ency." The achievements of the railroad companler since return of their line* . to private operation last March were set furth as including the following: ''Irecessed the average movement pr freight car per day 6.3 miles—from 32.3 to 28.67 miles. Increased the average load per car 1.7 tons—from 28.3 to 30 tons. "Reduced the accumulation of loaded bin unmoved freight cars from 103.237 on March 1. to 21.991 on December 3, on which only 6386 were detailed bcause of the InaLlKty of the railroads to move them. "Relocated approximately 180.000 box cars from the East to the West for the movement of farm produce. "Relocated approximately 180,000 open-top cars from he West to the East to keep up the production of

coal.

"Moved the third highest coal production In the history of the country. "Moved—with a deteriorated plant, under disturbed labor and business conditions-—the largest volume of tral fle evr known In a single year, with j the hlgheet efficiency yet achieved.” The railroad companies.” Mr. ' Cuyleris review added, have manufactured increased transportation capaci ity. not out of new ears and locorao- | live*, but out of increased efficiency."

Some of the very largest of our inland seas—Lake Superior, for example .re freah. and yet scientists will tell you that this or that lake was once a part of a vast' universal ocean: that the internal forces of the globe elevated the surface: and that‘the water accumulated in the depressions that resulted from the greet natural convulsion. fontilng the lakes, seas and oceans that now constitute threefourths of the superficial extent of Ihe

earth.

This being so. why are there so many large bodies of fresh water? It Is not because the loss by evaporation has been replied by the fresh waters of rivers which flow Into them for there is the Great Salt LAke in Utah, which is no less salty now than it wop years ago. and indeed the density f|| its waters is said to be increasing. With proportionately few exceptions. the ocean receives all tb" inland waters of the globe, and lose none of It except by evaporation. Thus It retains all the solid matter that is washed into it, and. as this pi cess has been carried on through mary geological acre, we can easily ' so.' why the waters have saline prop-

j ertlea.

When the saltiness of oceans is referred to. It must not be understood as being the common table-salt of commerce (chloride of sodium!, for there are many other salt* in aoluton Analyses of sea-water have shown it to contain. In addition to chloride of sodium, the sulphate* of sodium, magnesium, potash . calcium, silica. 1 boric acid, bromine. Iodine, fluorine a* ! b acid, the oxide* of nick'd, cobalt, m.nganese. aluminum zinc, silver. ; lead, copper, barium nnd strrntiuni. besides others of which only the falnt- ; ret traces can be found. Th^se s.-ilre in the aggregate form about thn-e and one-half per cent of 1 the ot .an water. We have no doubt that many of our readers are .studying el-anentary chemistry, and to them the above list will be of special interest. while to others it will serve to , show how complex a body of ocean water really Is. Scientists who h.nve made a study f the ocean tell us that there is enough of these various salts held in suspesj slon in the waters of the ocean to cover the land surface of the globe to a depth of fifteen hCindri d feet. The : weight of this salty stratum could be expressed in figures, but they are too ; great for comprehension. Ocean water bas different densities becaus of the varying influence* of ■ evaporation, rain falls and the curi rents, the great arteries of 'he ocean, which by their ceaseless action, make It impossible for tbe water* to become , s agnant.

Poison Gas to be Supreme Weapon in War. Experts Say , Washington—By the passage of the dyestuffs Import regulation act. Great Britain has definitely accepted ihe theory that poison gar will be tfir supreme weapon of the next war, and at the same time has opened they entry of German dyes Into this country, according to the views expressed, receptly by chan leal experts of the govern-

ment.

The British act which has become a law, prohibits :he importation of dyretnffs Into Great Britain for ten years, which government experts declared. will enable England lo build up her dye Industry to a point of complete Independence from the outside world. Poison gas and dyestuffs btAh comt from coal tar. It was explained, and r.-om the manufacture of the commercial art.cle to the production of (he mlliury weapon Is but another step In continuous process. By Insurin-: the development of the dye Industry, chemical experts here said. Orest Bril ain has laid the ground work for pos sible widespread use of gas ! war-

fare.

IMrect competition In fhls country between German and American made dyes also l* seen by officials here as a result of the British dyestuffs set. While the act prohibits the Imports tlon of dye prodarrs Into the t'nlted Kingdom, (he restriction does not apply to goods Imported for exporta'Ion after transit through the United King dom or by way of transshipmeni. Dy * may be imported into this country when It can be shown 'hey are of German origin. An Influx of German dye* would probably mean, officials frankly stated, that the de velopment of the American Indust y would be hindered, and corsequently the United Slate* would fall behind the other nations In wartime :o produce poison gas.

Sicily to Revive

Old Greek Tragedies Route—A revival of the old Greek tragedies on a gigantic scale, intended to approach as nearly as possible tbe condition under which they were originally given . is being planned In Syracuse. Sicily. The performances will be given in the theatre described by Cicero, and also in recent essays by Professor Rosso, as the le*gret and finest in the world The revival Is expected to be the finest that has yet been attempted anywhere, and is being sponsored by Count Mario Gargano. assist'd by Eltore Romagr.oll, the great Greek scholar, and by Cambellotti. who will survive the stage craft. The idea is to give an exact reproduction of what took place there when Aeschuylu* directed the Persia'!*, when Pindar sang to Zeus of Olympia, and Plato ascended the marble steps. Six years ago a similar representation before an audience of 20,000 spectators was so realistic that the Sicilian peasants returned to their home* so deeply Impressed that they themselves though many could neither read nor write, reacted scenes from the play "Agamemron” In the market places. In addition to this revival. Syracuse is »o have s library and museum os memorials of a glorious age. but with competent professors to lecture on the Greek tragedies and the way of presenting them. These lectures are to

precede the performance.

A Miniature Fountain Take an ounce vial and fill It threequartrs full of water, then make a hole In the cork and Insert a small lube or a stout piece of straw.

time.

This Is one way. Another mon-tf-ientitle and pleasing method Is as ; follows: Take a gla s jar. with the mouth large enough to go over the small rial, and heat the Inside over the flame of a lamp or candle; place the small rial on a plate upon sevearal layer* of blotting paper, and watch the result. When you heated the inside of the Jar the air Insld was expanded and j partly driven out. The blotting paper makes a heremitical joint, and the jar contained in the upper part of the vial force* the water up through the tube in the bottom of the j\r. and it falls in a little cascade down the sides.

Spots ot Sensation The Usual Thing

Distributed all over your body, in sad just b neath the skin, are nerve <-nds which respond to touch or other stimuli. Half a million of these react only to cold; 30,000 convey only the sensation of heat. There are three or four million pain i spots, which are *catt tred much more . thickly on some part* >f the body than on others. Thus the left sido I* more sensitive than tbe right, aid the inside of the arm or the leg possease* a greater sensitiveness to pain than the outside. The hot spots and cold spots are much mixed up together. Thus.
