Predict South’s Control if Davis Wins

WASHINGTON. — The South will control congress if the Democrats win to November, according to political prophets who are unusually busy these days in the capital. Although two of the South’s favorite sons were given back seats by the Democratic convention. Democratic members of congress’ f n't in below the Mason'and Dixon line are confident of cornering the desirable committee chairmanships if their party comes into power. It is said by some that the control of the South in congress will be even more secure than during the Wilson administration, when the Southern states held most of the positions of influence to the senate and the house. Northern Democrats lost out. It Is asserted, when the Harding landslide of 1920. by putting them out of office, deprived the ones who came back in 1922 of their original rank in the seniority list. Representative Rainey of Illinois, for example, would ha\*e been In line for the chairmanship of the powerful ways and means com-

Electric Lamp for Miners Gains Favor

TUB oid-fushloned flame safety lamp used for illuminating the miner's working place is fast going into the discard, according to the United States bureau of mines, which estimates that about 100.000 electric .cap lamps are now in use. In 1911 approximately 45.000 flame. J lamps and no electric lamps were heI tag used In the Pennsylvania hitlmli nous mines, wtdeh were then produc- < ing 35 per cent of all the soft coal mined in this country; by 1918 the flame lamps had decreased to 17.000 whereas electric lamps totaled nearly 48,000. In Great Britain during the same years the total of 723.934 flame lamps decreased to 590,185 and th<? electric lamps gained rapidly from 4.29 S to 156,521. No later reliable figures are at hand. “Though coal was known to the ancients. the earliest mention being credited to Theophratus. a Greek writer, about 371 B.

1 Maps Eliminated With New Air Compass;

AVIATORS at last have devised a compass which not only is perfectly adapted to air work, but In addition is so advanced In its operation that charts ami maps are unnecessary even <>n long flights. Two army flyers recently sealed up their maps in a tin can, tossed them Into their plane at Dayton, Ohio, and started the 575-mile trip to Mitchel field without a thought as to whether there was land, water or cloud beneath them. And they landed at Mitchel field as surely and directly as if they had traveled on rails. The wax seals on the map container were unbroken. * The earth inductor compass, as it is called, is the product of the government experimental station at McCook field. One of its originators. Bradley Jones, made the first maples* flight with Lieut. H. C. Downey. On landing he explained tlie instrument. " r “Adaptation of the mariner's compass to the airplane has never been a complete success,” Mr. Jones said. The steel In the motor would give It | an error of as much as twenty dei grees. The needle sometimes sptnS ! around futllely. We needed soiuej tiling more dependable and we've gut it.

Plan Airplane Service to South America

P’ IRAN'S are in the making for an airplane service linking New York with Central and South America, according to Abraham j Martinez, director of the Colombian ; government Information bureau. Service at first will he devoted to carrying mull, hut it is expected the passenger service eventually will be added, the director says. * Ae»*ording to ti»e present plans there will be two lines —one between New York and Buenos Aires. Argentine republic, and the .other between New York and Barrnnqiiilla to Colombia. The New York-RarranquiHa service will connect with the present air line between Barrtinquiila and (he capital of Colombia. Bogota. The tatter line has been in existence several years and carries passengers and nmll. and ta culled one of the beet to the worldService between New York and Bogota therefore will be made possible hy this connection. The route between New York and Bnrranqnilla will take to New Orleans and go through Mexico. Guatemala.

Tells of the Profits in Terrapin Raising

NE of the greatest delicacies | | known to connoisseurs, the y, y diamondback terrapin, is in danger of being exterminated because of the heavy demand for it. according to the bureau of fisheries. However, experiments in breeding I made by the bureau for 22 years are I said to Indicate that the raising of terrapin* for the market may be toads highly profitable. “At present first-da** Chesapeake terrapins, measuring six incites In length on the plastron (lower shell), command a price of from SSO to S6O ' per dozen In’the markets t»f the larger ‘ cities, and si* and a half or seven-inch ' terrapins are worth considerably more." say* the bureau. Carolina terrapins are much less valuable; Florida terrapin*. being eonspicaouqly different in their marking* from the others, are * difficult to sell at any price, but the It Louisiana and Texas terrapins cora- * ne»n<l prices only slightly lower than * tnose of the <3«esapeafee" In setting forth the requirement* of terrapin farms. tha bureau says that

Although re-elected to 1922, be la Hated eighth among the Democrats on the ticket, and Representative Garner of Texas now is ranking minority member of this committee and will become chairman if the Democrats win. The present minority leaders of the senate and house, both of whom are from Jthe South, will become majority leaders to the event of Democratic success. Senator Robinson of Arkansas will step Into the place of Senator lxaige of Massachusetts, present majority leader of the senate, while Representative Garrett of Tennessee similarly will take over the majority leadership now exercised by Representative Longworth of Ohio, in the house The appropriations committee to bath houses, uk important and powerful as any. will l>e headed by Southerners. Representative Byrns of Tennessee in is tine for the ehairmauship to the house, while Senator Overman of North Carolina will have the place in the senate.

years later before the safety flame lamp was lntrc*dueed. At first coal was undoubtedly obtained from outcrops, and mining was done by daylight. As the outcrops were worked out, the mifiers advanced gradually J further and further tnto the coal bed, j until the openings became Ifuitc ex 1 tensive and somewhat resembled the j small mines of today. “Even the approximate date' when ! lamps or tallow candies were first used in mines is unknown, but some source of artificial light was probably used in no-tal mines long before coal mining began. Agricola, in a treatise on metal j mining published in 1556. gives ] sketches that show conditions prevailing in his Jlme. “One of these sketches shows a miner carrying a lamp which apparently consisted a wick dipped in grease or oil of some kind. “Dr. William Reid Cianny was un- j douhtedl.v the first to design a closed- ! flame lamp and the first to build a lamp and to have It actually tested underground to a gaseous atmosphere. !

The earth toductor compass Is ; placed In the tail, away from the motor's influence. It is actuated hy the earth's magnetic field of force like any other compass, but the difference j lies in its use of the known and charted isogonic lines, which are j imaginary lines joining places on the > earth’s surface where the magnetic i force of the true north is the suine.” “We know where these isogonic J lines are. They don't change position.” he said. “The new compass has two coils on either side of a rotor, j Before making a trip the navigator > plots out his course by the Isogonic lines and theu sets his Instrument in the relative position to these lines that 1 he wants to travel. Then on the drift j Indicator he makes his allowance for wind and they set off. Whenever the pilot gets ofT the set course —that is, j gets.out of line with the navigator’s isogonic route —the field of force in the instrument's coils is cut cur- J rent is set up. “This Is recorded on a dial in front of the pilot. An index needle that j should point straight, upward falls to f one side and all the pilot has to do is j , maneuver his plane to right the needle ; again. Simple aa the A B Cs.”

the most desirable are those which have sandy soil or mixed sand ami day. In such a habitat and with proper care, the desirable diamondback can be raised to market site with lees diffi culty than attend* any other sort of work connected with the use of land. The bureau admits, however, that ideal locations are seldom to be found, so the less desirable must he made suitable by artificial construction. In the -experimental ponds of the bureau, located at Beffitfort, N. Cthere are now. besides the original -lots of adults secured for breeding purposes. more than 2,000 terrapins of various ages. Several thousand others have been liberated or distributed to other places for experimental work. The females of the oldest brood, that of 1909, as well as some of the brood of 1910. have reached marketable size, and In 1915 produced eggs. The terrapin requires both land and water, and nay home prepared for it must be about equally divided bet ween the two at low tide.

President Harding, in Ids last discussion of the subject, said that the broad, general objective of every community should be the American ideals j set forth in the preamble to the federal Constitution—“to form a more ! perfect union, establish Justice. Insure domestic tranquility, jlrovide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty.” “The nation at its best will not !>e S better than the aggregate of all Its citizenship," said President Harding. “We need to find a commanding and ! dominating national interest, and I believe it would he found if we route ; contrive to set before all the people J the full meaning and implication of | that.simple statement about the alias and purposes of .our government 1 which is found in the preamble of the 1 Constitution."

One of the most delightful of toilet soaim is made from the spinous bunches, which are boiled to extract saponaceous substances. This species of yucca has long been known to Indians as the “soap tree. * When they want to wash themselves, or their garments, they simply take a piece of the yucca to the nearest convenient water and rub it with tbeir hands, thus obtaining an immediate and profuse lather.
