4 Several high candle power lamps are to be placed just above the surâ€" face of the water. The lights will attract insects which will fall into the water and provide a cheap supply of food. The fishermen claim that large bass will leap high into the air for the moths and June bugs which will flutter around the lights. Members of the Izaak Walton league at Danville, IIl., have made arrangements to feed the fish in Horseshoe lake, a propagation pond, and to exercise the elderly bass, by the use of electric lights. ‘ The voters of Illinois are now lookâ€" ing to the political orators for fewer silver tongues, and more brass tacks.

Heretofore, roofs built of ordinary materials served as a point of attack for the sun‘s rays in hot weather and allowed furnace heat to leak out in cold weather, making it almost imâ€" possible to keep the attic rooms comâ€"| fortable. Now the same attics can be lined with the new insulating lumâ€" ber which sheds the heat of summer and the cold of winter, and opens the attic for sleeping rooms, play rooms, workshop and a myriad of other uses. .

It is a far cry now back to the good old days when horses filled in the gaps in the western mail service. The open spaces are filling up and alâ€" though there is still plenty of space left in the west, civilization has enâ€" veloped it all, and frontier days are gone forever. \ Plans are being worked out in Washington by Secretary of Comâ€" merce Hoover and Postmater General New, which, when consumated, will cover the United States with a netâ€" work of air routes. In addition to this the postoffice department anâ€" nounces the speeding up of transâ€" continental air mail service bys,the purchase of fifty new Douglas airâ€" planes. Under the new ° schedules mail can be sent, from the middle west to San Frarlcisco in â€"slightly more than twentyâ€"four hours. Birdmen recently sailed over the top of the world and every day now Uncle Sam‘s fliers are delivering the mail from one great American city to another. The day of air travel is at hand. Before so very long pasâ€" senger routes will be as common in America as they are in Europe. A lecturer on art recently . spoke before a group of men in an indusâ€" trial city, urging upon them the duty of trying to put more beauty into their aurroundings. : At the close of the talk, a leading citizen came up to have a few words with the lecturer. The story is thus told by Fred Kelâ€" ley, in the Nation‘s Business. "I enjoyed : your talk," he said, "though I didn‘t agree with you. The NEW AIR MAIL NO USE FOR ART; may not have found it, but I know you are aiming at what you think makes for greater attractiveness." "No, you‘re wrong," insilted the hardheaded, practical man. "I‘m not interested in beauty." Hoover and New Workinf . Out System Which Will Give _ Vast Service fact is that we have no time here for beauty.. The prosperity of this town is due to hardâ€"headed, practical men. We are doing things and can‘t bother to think about being beautiâ€" ful." . "Yet," retorted theâ€" lecturer, smilâ€" ing, "you yourself uz seeking beauâ€" ty, according to. your lights.

THE HIGHLAND PARK PRESS, HIGHLAND PARK, ILLINOIS "But_we were thinking about the house. "It brings my final suggestion â€"that the house of the future will have a movie room, or better still, a newsâ€"room, where, by a turn of the dial, we shall be able to tune in and look in on Los Angeles, Miami, Lonâ€" don, the North Pole or the ringside. It will be the center of the house, like the old Roman atrium. It will be the triumph of synthetic science." eonmo:;..

If such picâ€" tures can be sent then events can be sent, too. I expect not only to hear the inauguration of the next presiâ€" dent in 1929, but to see it, though I may be thousands of miles from Washington. The ‘microphone will have alongside it what ought to be called a microscope, and I shall be sitting in my own livingâ€"room seeing and hearing the entire performance as if I were on the spot. "Single pictures," he says, "are alâ€" ready being sent across theâ€" sea. When a more sensitive photéâ€"electric cell is developed a picture will be transmitted as rapidly as the movie can flash it on the screen. Then we shall have movies in évery home. ‘At any rate the day of the mail eoach has passed and the era of rail, way mail is threatened, The romance of ‘the stage driver has given way to the romance of the birdman. NEW WAR WILL BE .\ SEEN MANY MILES Scientific Progress So Fast That Probability . Beyond â€" Preâ€" Scientific progress, says Dr. Wendt, director of industrial research, Pennâ€" sylvania State college, in the Nation‘s Business, gives ground for the preâ€" diction that the next war will be seen and heard by noncombatants thouâ€" sands of miles away. It will be "on the ‘air" like the presentâ€"day jazz concert. SsEND YOUR DRY CLEANING RUGS AND DRAPERIES TO â€"THE RELIABLE LAUNDRYâ€" DRY CLEANERS AS WELL AS LAUNDERERS,.

The chief cause of these movements has been the lack of capital upon which credit is based. ~"One of the greatest needs of the world toc}ay is increaged savings to create a| greater capital fund. A large part of this increase may come from profits. A larger part than usual seems to be coming from the earnings dof workers who are now rapidly becoming capitalists and sharers in both dividends and profits. "Both business and workers have gained by increased savings on the part of the worker and by his investâ€" ment of them in business enterâ€" in capitala back of every man, womâ€" an and child in/the United States, and our prosperity and \our standard of living are based upon this capital. .
