a tendency relax when going to lose. This psychological factor exists in Anierican elections and it tends to have more weight. It is reflected by the widespread interest in “straw polls” that has grown up during the | last 15 years. The “straw polls” and the local Maine election in Septem- |

hot only indicate, but also “tend to create that which ‘they indicate. The purpose of Gov: Landon and all other Republican campaigners is to roll up the highest possible Re-. publican vote in next Monday's Maine election for the sake-of the psychological effect throughout the whole country in November. The purpose of the Democratic campaigners is the same for their side.

Should Be Effective

Will Gov. Landon's be effective? It should be. Its effectiveness depends in part [upon the sound theory that the mere fact of a Republican presidential candidate coming to the state will help to bring the maximum number of Republicans voters to the polls the following Monday. But the greater effectiveness of Gov. Landon’s visit depends upon - how deep it registers with a certain “group of Maine voters. In there are voters who thirfR of themi-

depends upon the number of Maine |

voters who are led to reason somewhat as follows: “Although I think the Democratic

candidate for Governor (or Senator | or other local office) is better than:

the Republican candidate, and although ordinarily I would vote for the local Democratic candidate,

nevertheless my fundamental inter- |

est this year is election in November, and my fundamental wish is that Mr. Landon be elected President. I realize that by veting Democratic in the September local election I would contribute to a psychological effect which would injure the chance of Gov. Landon’'s carrying the country in November. Therefore, I shall

Democrats Are Popular

As it happens, there are many voters subject to this reasoning in Maine this year. Every one con-

By United Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.—For 20 years Dr. Charles G. Abbot experi- | ments with a mighty engine to | draw power direct from the sun.

{ sonian Institution permit, he tink- | ers with mirrors and tubes and boil- | ers, seeking solution of a riddle { which puzzled the alchemists of the { middle ages. | If he can turn the heat of the {sun into power under control, he can revolutionize the life of the civilized world. - He can close the world's coal mines, make obsolete the dams, and give every man his own private power plant. The possibilities are almost limitless. Quietly the gentle Smithsonian secretary works in his laboratories on a stove whose flame is 92,000,000 miles away. With many an astronomical calculation and many a tug on his graying mustache, he devises a solar cooker, which he installs at his retreat on Mt. Wilson, in California.

A big, concave mirror follows the sun by clockwork, collécts its rays and concentrates them on his well-

Mrs. Abbot can use it to cook at night, thanks to its heat storage feature, and she never gets a gas bill. From oven to engine is no great step for Dr. Abbot, although it takes him nearly a decade to make it. (We must skip these years of toil and look now at the finished product.) : It is a fantastic appearing device which Dr. Abbot sets up behind the ancient red turrets of the Smithsonian. Essentially it consists of three curved aluminum mirrors,

There it turns water into steam which, in turn, sets an engine to chugging and proves to a skeptical world that Dr. Abbot knows what he is talking about. He grooms this machine and tests it in every conceivable way for its unveiling. Three thousand scientists attending the third World Power Conference came to see for themselves an invention which may change all their present concepts. Anxiously Dr. Abbot scanned the sky.
