•MS • —•- -i- TW —V—the demand continues. Why this sudden craze for emulat (ng Magellan? Americans have loni been known as great travelers, bu they never showed such a desire a: -. this for long, expensive trips of al r kinds. r - It Is clear that all at once there it ■tn unusual combination of money am, ir leisure.* There is probably no more money than there- has been in previous years, but there is more leisure. Thai 8 may lie explained by the retirement ’ front business, lately, of an nnprece 0 g dented number of.American business 0 men. 5 That is fine in some ways; but it ® doesn't look very good for the jt-.ts 6 noss future of the country to have so many able business men turn from creating wealth at home to scattering it abroad. Attention is called again to the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence deep waterway plan by the action of the Ameri■an Engineering council, which calls for a complete governmental investigation of that great project. There has been considerable investigation of tlie matt ter, by engineer's representing both the United States and Canada. but there'is no danger of getting too much information on the subject. The Engineering council wants to determine. with finality, the facts regarding navigation, power, alternative routes and other questions involved. Congress will be asked to ac t on the proposal. An interesting discovery made by the leaders of this movement, in their recent inquiries, is that although Buffalo Is still opposed to the new water way, for fear of losing some of its business. New York and other eastern .-aboard cities are less hostile, because they are coming to believe that they will benefit in the end from the gfieater development that such a wat erway would bring to inland cities. They are encouraged In this view byfinding that th- immense traffic of the Panama Oanal has not hurt their pros polity at all. ThlsSs fortunate. It is usually a narrow and mistaken state of mind which fears to see other communities gain new business advantages. American communities especially ought to profit by each others prosperity, and experience has shown that they generally do. 0 * PRICELESS TREASURES Fhore is gold upon the harvest.

Wayne Colored Youth Invents Storage Battery William H. Chapman, colored, of J Fort Wayne, appears to be on thread to fortune as a result of a new ’ invention, a "self-charging" storage battery. Performing wonders which electrical experts of the city declare "impossible" until they witness the tests. Chapman’s battery is to be manufac hired and marketed by a new company which will utilise the Wayne Foundry building on Gay street. Fort ’ Wayne. Departing from all accepted meth- " ods of storage battery constructin. * Chapman, who is only 23 years old. ' utilizes a new solution In his bat- •’ tery. Instead of having lead and ' zinc or lead anil copper plates the 8 new battery has only lead plates. It v appears, from the exterior, much the f same us ordinary batteries, but Its '' performance has aroused the Intenso I' Interest of every electrical or battery expert who has seen it. In the ordinary storage battery * the principle is one of storage of 1 electricity in plates. A solution of ' sulphuric acid surrounds the plates, a As electricity is drawn from the It plates the acid takes its place. " In batetries where chemical rear t tions provide the current, the plates ii are gradually eat*# away by the adds. 1 In Chapman’s battery neither of p these things takes place. The battery p is not replenished with electricity V through re-charging methods. AC-- i er several months of hard usage the I plates of the model battery were F taken out this week and found un- r harmed, not having been even pur tially destroyed by the acids. « Gives Many Tests Contorting the battery to a motor.

In a formal statement, announced his candidacy, JThe state democratic committee met sliortly before noon to select the place und date for the state convention. and Reed’s supporters exerted all their pressure to throw the convention into Jefferson Citp- of Sedalia, both strongholds of tin- Re"d men. Heed's campaign, his statement indicated; will be principally to obtain all 36 Missouri delegates, with possibility of Ills coming up behind on the floor of the national conven tion in case of a deadlock. Reed's statement stressed necessary of "civil and religious liberty, complete freedom of conscience, property right and the independence Os tlie courts" and suggested that cllmln ation “of usless boards" in Washington might do much to reduce taxes.

The musicians received a fine round of applause Saturday night. D. H. S. BoYz off Form The high school boys were decidedly off form Saturday night. Their passing, dribbling and shooting was far Inferior to the brand they have displayed in their last few games Many fouls were called on both teams, but the visitors failed to register many points from the foul line, while the locals made a majority of their chances count. Dorwin. es-p-cialy displayed good form in foul shooting, making seven out of eight attempts from the foul line. The visitors outscored the locals from the field by one goal, but many of ,the locals sure shots were spoiled by fouls by the visitors and these fouls were converted into points. The locals opened the scoring spon after the start of the game and held th? lead throughout the game. Walker, center on the Union Center nuinteL who was all-district center last year, kept the visitors in the running with four pretty field goals in the first half. The half ended 11-8.

in favor of the locals. • Both teams scored more often in I the second half. N'abb.
