Experiments are to be made in building highways out of rubber and while it will be considerably more expensive it may have advantages. We may have to adopt the old "town ball rule" that first bounce is out. Don’t be frightened Saturday morning about eight o’clock when twilight comes. Its an eclipse of the sun caused by the moon getting in between the solar disc and the earth and in some parls of the world will be total. Here it will lack one-twentieth, it is figured out but will be near enough total to make you wonder unless you know what is going on and why. You do a mighty fine thing win i you subscribe to the fund to pun-lias ■ radio sets for the unfortunate blind. Think of the hours of wonderful entertainment for these folks. You can well afford to sacrifice a little to brine that much joy into the lives of those for whom all is darkness. The response is more than satisfactory and 1 we commend you for it. i Taxes are two hundred per cent higher on the average over the Unite 1 ' States than ten years ago and it there fore becomes a question of whether or not what we have is worth that much more. It is safe to predict that we Wouldn’t want to back up on schools or roads, even at that price, and thats where most of the money goes, excepting that part which pay' for the war. Albert .1. Beveridge may not bnominated in a primary against Jiri 1 Watson but its the surest kind of a ■’(•inch’’ licit he won’t be nominated ' by a convention, so he can't lose in ' fighting the repeal of the primary and thats part of (lie reason they are soil pedaling on it. In other words the entire state must stand the expense and nu’sance. one way or the other, to satisfy the political ambitions ot a couple of politicians. __________ 1 We want every one of our thirty- h five hundred subscribers to continue Hie Daily Democrat and we would ■ ' like Io add a few hundred.

of the needs for the state institutions. It will be alright if its on the level and the graft can be kept out but its a long ways from being finshed to that degree where any one can afford to celebrate on the idea that overhead of state government has actually been reduced. Through it all is the plan to work up something for the state police to do so they can argue that we must have such an organization. Then we fear it will be easy to add to that force from time to time without attracting much attention, fetter watch ’em. Notf some one in the legislature proposes to “make" us be good Americans, own a flag, hang it up. pay due respect to it and give three cheers when the Dragon says so. To us that doesn't scent American and we claim to be just as red blooded and patriotic as any one. Some how we don't like that “make” business and it seems to us yhat the average American sort 'o “sets” himself when he learns of some organization to force things. We insist that we have too many laws now and .that the smartest thing to do is to repeal and simplify them so wc can follow orders without conflicting. Its got so we have to violate laws to obey others. There is little argument to be offered against the proposal of Governor Jackson that all expenditures eoine through the budget route. In every instance where the budget, system has been honestly used it has proven wise. The state’s business is no different than that of a corporation or a private concern. The business man who does not estimate his expenditures and strive to stay in that limit is sure to cofhe out of the little end of the horn at the close of the year if he can get out at all. Thd money spent by the state should of course come after recommendations from those in control of the various institutions which spend the money ami this be passed on by competent men and then offered to the legislature. ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY • ♦ th# Dally D«mocr»t fll## * ♦ i 20 year# ago thia day • « | *«♦♦***•«••* January 21, 1 !»«&.-—Mrs. AV.

Jesse and family were at the station to meet us and we’surely we're glad to see each other. We .made our headquarters with them until we found one for ourselves, which we did in a few days within walking distance from Jesses. We are nicely located in our little bungalow. Only one thing is missing and that is the Decatur Democrat, so please put me on your list and send it to the following address, No. 1641 West 38th Place. Los Angeles, Calif. We are having the finest kind of weather in day time, but the nights are rather cool. Had a few- heavy white frosts. Saw quite a few of the Decaturites since we are back and found them well and happy. Respectively Yours. A. H. Sellemeyer. o .

"At the moment of eclipse, the central body of the sun is completely obscured. and the only light given off eoin.es from the corona, which is the halo of incandescent gases which 3 . spring out from the central body, il’ast observations have given ground for suspicion that a hitherto unknown element tentatively named j"coronium," exists in the.corona mix- | ture of intensely hot gaseous elei ments. “As a matter of incidental interest Dr. Kiess points out that helium, the gas which will sustain the Los Angeles during the observations, was first discovered by spectroscopic observation of the sun, and later identified and put to use from among the earth's own stock of elements."
