THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND., TUESDAY, SEPT. 20, 1921.
THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM ' AND SDN-TELEGRAM Published Every Evening Except Sunday by Palladium Printing Co. Palladium Building, North Ninth and Sailor Streets. Entered at the . Post Office at Richmond, Indiana, as Second-Class Mail Matter. MEMBER OP THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the uss for republication of all news dispatches credited to ft or not otherwise credited In this paper, and also the local news published herein. All rights of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. Harnessing Nature's Forces Use of the sun's rays, or of atomic energy, or the force of wind or water, or even of growing vegetation, must be the next achievement of science for human welfare and industrial progress, in the view of Dr. Arthur D. Little of Boston, chemical engineer and technologist, who addressed the American Chemical society recently on "Energy, It's Sources and Future Possibilities." Uncertainties of supplies of coal and petroleum, and rising costs, he said, make imperative new sources of energy. Here are some of tfce sources on which the world may draw: Radiant energy from the sun. The Sahara desert receives daily and lets go to waste solar energy equivalent to 6,000,000,000 tons of coal. Energies of the wind and of the waves are too uncertain and diffuse to justify extensive exploitation. In a few favorable locations it is feasible to utilize a fraction of the energy of the tides, as at St. Malo, France, and the Severn, England, where the tide movements are uncommonly strong. Energy of radium and of the disintegration of the atom of all substances. Study of these various sources has convinced Dr. Little that no energy is comparable with that of the sun, and scientific effort should be directed to learn how it can be utilized for light, heat and power. It has been asserted, he said, that the
earth receives only one hundred and fifty-millionth part of the radiant energy of the sun, but even so, calculations have been made that the earth receives, on a surface of 10,000 square kilometers, assuming only six hours as an effective day, a quantity of heat that corresponds to that produced by burning 3,650,000,000 tons of coal. Of the portion of solar energy received by the earth, Dr. Little said, only about one threehundredth part is stored up by plants, but that heat has been calculated to produce 82,000,000,000 tons of vegetable matter which, if burned, would develop a quantity of heat equal to that derived from the combustion of 1,000,000,000 tons of coal. Radio active elements, the speaker said, lose spontaneously much of the energy with which they are surcharged, but they have brought scientific recognition of stores of energy concealed in matter which are immeasurably greater than those derived from chemical reactions.
Cutting Costs of Pubic Improvements Not the least important indication of our return to normalcy is the reduction in the cost of public improvements which is to be noted all over the country. Taxpayers are beginning to feel a little easier as they notice that their public officials are not ordering improvements pro
miscuously, Taut are scanning costs carefully with
an eye on the tax rate. Public improvements which are essentially necessary for the welfare of a community should be let, if the costs are in keeping with the general downward trend of prices and the contemplated work cannot be deferred without inflicting hardship and suffering. The decrease in the cost of public improvements serves another good purpose besides cutting the tax rate. When contracts are let, employment is given to men, which in turn is
i helpful to the whole community.

Oscar Wilde was asked once by fome admirers In Paris if he knew George Moore, who was also a familiar f gure in that city. "Know him? I should think I do!" replied TVilde. "In fact, I know him fo well that I haven't spoken to him for the rst ten years." "You Insist that the officer arrested you while you were quietly attending to your own business?" "Yes, your honor. He caught me suddenly by the collar and threatened to strike me with his club unless I accompanied him to the station house." "You say you were quietly attending to your own business, making no noise or commotion of any kind?" "Yes, your honor." "What is your business? "I'm a burglar." It happened on the transport coming back. "Show me your identification tag," demanded the medical officer of a colored private. "Ah done chucked it overbo'd, suh," confessed the other. "Ah jus' naturally ain't got no ambition for no more of dem death checks.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take If, "Up"
God doesn't put brains into human heads just to fill .empty spaces. He gives every man a brain and makes every new brain another world to be discovered, explored, populated with ideas, used. You can discover and explore your own brain you have the first chance at all the riches it contains. You can open your brain to new ideas. You can exercise it with the solution of constant problems. You can use your brain yourself Or you can forget all about the brain God gave you. You can let it lie idle and unexplored. It will be useless to you and to the world. And then some day someone else will discover your brain for you. Someone else will explore your brain and find whatever there is in it of worth, and put it to work for them. You can use your brain yourself Or you can be just a cog in the machinery of life, a puppet moved hither and yon by the will of a bigger man who learned to use his own brain and then reached out for yours. Listen! Read! Think! Ask questions! Use your brain And you will be that bigger man who has discovered his own riches and learned how to direct and use the brain-power of others as well. Use your brain!

DISILLUSIONMENT The veil of the future baffled me When I would fain see through. Though it was only a web of fairy wing.i Woven of light and dew.
A soft breeze rippled the curtain
A snimmermg mist or Diue; Oh, why was there torn a tiny rift? Or, why did I see through? Doris Kenyon. Since all the genuine Turkish cigarets are now made in this country, we do not need Turkey any more for any purpose. About eighty per cent of the old clothes men have given up in disgust. People are all wearing them.
A canvass in Chicago reveals the fact that the people there prefer dancing to the movies. If that is treason, in other words, make the most of it. No man is a real artist in Greenwich Village until he can eat spaghetti without a dustpan.
Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON
USELESS KNOWLEDGE With many vain and useless things my memory is stored; I know the histories of kings, and of the lands they bored; I know of happenings on earth long centuries ago; if any fact has little worth, that fact I'm sure to know. But when my motor car breaks down, and will no longer choo, and I am forty miles from town, I don't know what to do. I lift the hood and view the works, and raise my loud lament, and all I know of ancient Turks won't help me worth a cent. And I am versed in all the lore that pleased the p.ncient Greeks, but that can't make my head less sore the carbureter leaks. And I can stand on end and quote the poets by the hour, but I can't figure why my boat is shorn of all its power.
My neighbor, Johnson, never reads, no poets does he know; but when he
plants his garden seeds the blamed things always grow. And he has luscious prunes and kraut, and squash and sparrow-grass; and all that I can raise is gout, which isn't garden sass. This Johnson's chickens always lay, their output keeps him strong, while my old hens eat corn and hay, and give their lives to song. I know a million useless facts concerning long dead kings, and I have read a million tracts dis-

about them i3 that thrv rinn't spmh to i mess, and
pet into anything but greasy foods like bacon, lard. etc. A. Ants that infest houses are frequently divided into two. classes those that like sweets and those that like grease, the latter being the kind that is annoying you at present. The grease-eating species may be controlled by working a small amount of tartar emetic into bacon rind, or by using one part tartar emetic to 20 parts of grease. Tartar emetic is a violent poison, so extreme care should be exercised in its use.
Q. If a soldier's mother is depend- j ZS
ent upon mm, ana ror mis reason the soldier obtains a discharge, what provision is made concerning his transportation? F. A. K. A. On discharge for dependency, transportation is not paid by the government. Q. How did cannel coal get its name?- D. I. V. A. Cannel coal burns with a bright, candle-like flame, and it is probable that the name is a corruption of candle-coal. This coal is found in Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana, and some believe that it is a rroduct of an accumulation of animal as well as plant remains. The same kind of coal is found in Scotland where it is called parrot coal.

Gotham Theatre Crowds Are Lavish With Applause NEW YORK, Sept. 20 The impulse of theatergoers to applaud actors as they step out from the wings each night is worrying Broadway. One manager has included in the program a request that the audience break itself of the habit. The custom began with the greet-
whith star worshippers always
extend on the first appearance of
leading actors. Spurred on. skeptics aver, by complimentary tickets, the custom spread to lesser mortals. The last straw came the other night when
tumultous applause interrupted a performance on the appearance of a minor character, whose only assignment was to announce that the coach and pair are ready, sir.
