i Play Safe ; The government is again warning holders of its securities to be careful of the overtures of salesmen who suggest the exchange of these securities for worthless paper. The salesmen of Tjogus stocks and undesirable securities are so persistent in their campaigns that the government fears many holders of war saving stamps .will be Induced to part with them in exchange for certificates that have no market value and intrinsic worth. Most of the promoters of worthless stocks could not stay in the business a month were it not for the gullibility of their victims. The 'sucker" lists, as the names of the prospects are called in the argot of the dishonest salesmen, provide the victims. The salesmen capitalize on a human weakness to try to get something for nothing, and easily induce thousands to spend their savings for certificates of stock that are worthless. All the warnings of honest and experienced financiers are unable to deter "suckers" from taking the baft which which these swindlers hold

ON BEING A CHANNEL FOR GOOD THOUGHTS By George Matthew Adams

I can see nothing In holding gain. Rather do I see a shriveling soul, bereft of friends and richness of experience lonelier than on cast upon . a desert craving food and full of thirst. The channel through which great ships pass from sea to sea with !; their loads of merchandise and food and their lists of passengers, Is a ; most Inspiring thing to me. ? I am happiest when I feel that I am a channel through which pass thoughts, new arrangements of ideas, and human reflections, that others T may take up and use. - Just imagine what a wonderful thing for each of us to he a channel I through which beautiful thoughts and sincere appreciations pass walking ' floating, flying out into the world on various missions, never ending in - their possibilities for service. Like a filter, too even increasing the value of the things that use . us as a medium, purifying and enriching everything that comes and goes. ; God is a channel through whom all that is beautiful and great and - worth while, passes. Nature is a channel through which all the mysteries of our own make-up finally come forth in full revelation. ; You, who so encourage me by reading these talks from day to day, I are channels through which I send much that others have sent through me. Each of us is a worked over example of some practical fact. But we have to be put to practical advantage. The sun doesn't know that we love it. Neither do the flowers or any inanimate thing. But the very fact that the atmosphere of our love leaves us the minute we feel it, , is sufficient to make us kin to all life animate and Inanimate. Just to be a channel what a privilege!

It does not attempt to settle domestic troubles, nor to undertake exhaustive research on any subject. Write your question plainly and briefly. Give full name and address and enclose two cents In stamps fjr return postage. All replies are sent direct to the Inquirer. Q. On . how many roads has the strike of the shopmen been settled? -A. K. A. Officers of the unions have beta quoted as savins that agreement3 have been reached on 134 railroads. Out of 350,000 striking shopmen, about 175, COO are back at work , Q. What did the governor of North Carolina say to the governor of South Carolina? J. H. B. A. The historic speech of the governor of North Carolina to the governor of South Carolina, when they met on the staircase of the "Old White." at Sulphur Springs, is said to have been "It is a long time between drinks." Q. Please tell me something about the American Samoan islands? L. O. E. A. The people of American Samoa are largely native; the total number approximates 7,550. The area of the island is 77 square miles. Nearly ail the land is owned by natives. The soil is fertile; fruits, chiefly oranges, grapefruit, limes and citron, are cultivated. Copra is the staple productThere are 18 public schools in which the English language is taught. Q. Where were tin cans first used? O. L. T. A. In 1S33 William Underwood began to' substitute tin for glass in the canning business, but it was a number of years before the use of the tin can may be said to have been established. The first machine-made can was invented by Allen Taylor in 1847. Q. Who said "A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse"? F. W. R. A. The quotation is from Thomas Chandler Haliburton, who was born in Nova Scotia and died in England. Q. What causes the explosions v. hen a cane-brake is on fire. A. Cane-stalks being hollow, having no pith, and beng divided inside every few inches into sections, are very combustible when dried in the sun, and the air confined within the hollow sections warmed by the external heat explodes with very considerable force, so that a cane-brake on fire gives the idea of a continued roar of distant musketry.

"It is harder to keep them from thinking, which is the reason why discipline is such a terror to some. Even the average stupid child will install a self-starter, if he

American Solves Pump Problem Perfects Device to Raise Water From One Level to Another at Low Cost.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 11. Raising water from one level to a higher level at the minimum cost and greatest efficiency has been a problem of the ages. Now it is said that it has been solved by an invention- shortly to be tested in Washington. Thomas Gaskell Allen, an American by birth and a graduate of an American university, is the inventor. Mr. Allen is now a British subject and lives in London where he is the head of a firm of engineers, but if his in vention, which he calls the hydrautcmat the water self-raiser proves to be all that is claimed for it, England will not be permitted to claim entire credit for him and his accomplishment. Sir Oliver Lodge has investigated the hydrautomat and prepared a long technical report in which he ranks the device as one of the greatest inventions the world has ever known and expresses his amazement, that it was not hit upon centuries ago. When the news of the marvel first reached this country, .official representatives in London were instructed to look into it, and upon the reports made to Washington the Bui"eau of Heights and Measures proceeded to build a working model here. Mr. Allen recently conferred with government of ficials and will return in a short time when the tests are to be made. Meanwhile another experimental model has been installed in a New York office building and is said to, be operating successfully. Briefly described, the hydrautomat is a device that raises water to any desired height automatically, the water itselt furnishing the power. Once installed it will continue to function steadily without interruption and with out any attention until it wears out. That sounds like perpetual motion, a problem that has never been solved although inventors have worked at it for centuries with so little success that whenever one comes forward with the claim that at last he has made the great discovery he is looked upon as a candidate for the booby-hatch. But the hydrautomat is perpeutal motion, it is said, insofar as it will continue to operate as long as the flow of water continues and the machine holds to gether. Moreover, it will work efficiently when the flow of water is so slight that it could not be utilized in any other way. Also it may be construct ed on a small scale adaptable to the requirements of a farmer who would use it on a small creek to raise water for irrigating purposes and to develop power to run his machinery and lighting plant, or it may be built on a scale Say "Bayer" and Insist!

I sufficiently large to furnish the water I supply for a large city. Obviously ihe first use of water for mechanical purposes involved leading the water from a stream or other source for use at another place. One of the primitive devices for raising wa ter from a stream was the noria which consisted of a large upright ; tramework like a wheel, placed so that the flow of the current turned it on its axis. To the periphery of the wheel were attached hinged buckets, which were often earthera jars tied on the frame, and which were partly fifed as they dipped in the stream and upon being carried to the top were emptied by a tripping device into a trough which led the water away on the higher level. Later Archimedes developed his screw, which consisted of a coil of ipipe about a cylinder, set a consider able angle from the vertical. To run this a water wheel or turbine was nec essary. Theoretically water could be raised to any height in this manner, but practically it required too much power, the gearing of wheels complijcated the work, and there were other i objections. The hyiViulic ram -.was I more efficient and mora practical and I the principle has been widely applied. bull another automatic machine is the windmill, but it is complicated and more or less unwidely. However, the great objection to it is that it operates only when the wind blows, and the wind has a way of being contrary. It bloweth not only where it listeth, as the Bible says, but when, and experience has demonstrated that the windmill pump does not work often when water is needed most. Mr. Allen's invention, it is claimed, meets and overcomes the objections to all these devices. The hydrautomat is described as "literally a reciprocating engine in which the power of water and air alternately develop the power. It does not work by shock or impetus as in the case of the water ram. It does not require the machinery necessary to operate the Archimedian screw. Once installed it requires no attention to keep it working smoothly. In other words, the initial cost of building and installing the device is the only expense involved.". The hydrautomat is not a turbine In any sense. However, when water has been raised by it to a desired height, the water may be permitted to fall and operate a turbine or similar meDr. BELL'S!

chanism, thus developing power which can be utilized as desired to run machinery directly or to be converted with electric energy, t But it is not in tended to do the work of a turbine. Great wa,ter falls such as Niagara or amDest exert tremendous power which may be utilized to operate tur1 bines and develop great sources of en ergy. The hydrautomat develops energy from streams which flow slowly and the power of which heretofore has not been utilized. Simplicity is its first characteristic. he principle involved. is that of wa ter flowing through a pipe into a met al cylinder. Now as the water enters the cylinder it naturally forces out the air, which escapes through a pipe open ing from the top and leading to an other cylinder, which is filled with water. As the air enters the second cylinder the water which it contains is forced out through a pipe to a third cylinder placed at a higher level. Thus the pressure of the water flowing into the first cylinder is utilized to force the water from the level of the second to the third. The action is purely au tomatic, the compressed air acting as a piston. Technical details are given as to the actual operation of the hydrautomat that are of interest chiefly to the scientifically Inclined. To the average person, the interesting points are that once it i3 started it will run Automatically for years, that it works with little ortio strain on the pipes, and that it is fool proof. It is interesting to know what the inventor himself thinks of his device. Mr. Allen says that a hydrautomat measuring two feet in diameter and 15 feet in height will pump something like 70,000 gallons of water every day. and that this mechanism would serve to pump water to the highest stories of New York skyscrapers quickly and cheaply. Present pumps are expensive and must be run by coal or gasoline and help must be employed to operate them. A hydrautomat would keep a continueous stream of water passing from the ground to the highest story. There are of course millions of acres of land in many parts of the world which could be made productive if properly irrigated. As a rule water can be made available if it can be raised very slightly. But the cost of pumping water in quantities often proves prohibitive, if water can be made to pump itself the problem is greatly simplified. Even small streams, with a slight head, can be made to eeetrils and boki a few minute. Do thii twice daQ and it will gtvu yea quick relief from your Catarrh. Faarast far farce giannliii.

Rippling Rhymes By Walt Mason

HARD EARNED MONEY They're paving West Commercial street, and many men are toiling hard; all day they trudge on weary feet, and lay the concrete by the yard. They, all are stalwart husky men, whose hinges need no helpful oil; I stand and watch them now and then, and give three cheers for honest toil. "No doubt," I say, "these men of brawn pull down at least three plunks a day; and when their weekly wage is drawn, a goodly shaS-e is put away. For men who earn in bitter sweat and grinding toil their humble wage, will value coin they'll not forget to have a store for wintry age. When money seems to grow on trees, men can't be blamed who blow it in; but hardly driven men like these must think extravagance a sin." "You ought to see my merry men," the foreman said, "when payday comes; for to the birds they throw the yen, and to the cows feed princely sums. On Saturday they draw their pay, and forth they go, on pleasure bent, and Monday morning, cold and gray, finds them without a rusty cent." It matters not what wage they draw. it goes like chaff, adown the gale; there surely ought to be a law requiring men to save the kale.
