James, won the Democratic nomination for congress in a California district. Young Franklin seems to have the inside track tor the New York gubernatorial nomination and political writers predict' that Gov. Dewey will go down to defeat if he decides |o seek a fourth term. The Roosevelts are real campaigners and the name seems to be magic with many voters. To our way of thinking. Brother James seems the less likely to win in November. 0- o—.0 —. Fantastic Dream:— The Great wall of China, the pyramids of Egypt and the Grand Coulee dam are pretty fair engineering workK They fall into nothingness compared with the dream of a German engineer, Herman Soergel, and recounted in the.book, "Engineers’ Dreams”. Called "Atlantropa,” a word formed from Atlantic and Europe, the project called for damming the Mediterranean at each end. the Straits of Gibraltar and the Dardanelles, and putting locks in the Sues Canal. Without inflow from the Atlantic and in spite of rainfall and the contribution of rivers, evaporation would make the Mediterranean drop 33 feet in 10 years and produce vast amounts of power. By a century the level would have fallen 330 feet, and 90,000 square miles would be added to the countries along the shore. Then two more dams would be erected, ‘ Italy, the other between Tunis and Sicily. A little more water could be admitted from the Atlantic to keep ifie western Mediterranean at its .existing level. The eastern half would be allowed to sin® another 330 feet in another century. The final result would be 225000 square miles of new land, and practically unlimited power. What a dream ! Probably no more fantastic than the talk about space ships. ' " -

Apply a hot iron until the towel is dry. This kills both the moths and the eggs. Then sprinkle with salt every week before sweeping.

She and the visiting wife should sit together in the back seat. it you nave something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad. It brings results.
