I TRYING TO THE GUP Bunch of Wave* in the Ether le Loet and No One Knows Whither They Go or What They Oe. ..^••4..,.:.:*:. 800th ft*»ey, Mam.--The itftentlet has another missing link for which to search. This time, however, it is not the biologist who seeks the link but die physicist. A bunch of waves in tte ether Is lost and no one knows whither they go or what they do. Some Of their associates were long ago fcnnd, a few others were Investigated more recently, but others are still missing. Wireless waves, heat waves, light waves and the waves of the .X-rays have been made clear to us. list there is an unabridged gap, a gap rit is nearer being filled today tji&n ever has been in the past - Trying to Bridge the Qap., A Mount Holyoke college professor, Bllzabeth R. Laird, Is finding some •liccess at one end of the gap and investigations at the other end were completed some time ago. At the one end are the ultra violfet rays and at the other are Bntladungsstrahlen and •oft X-rays. It is with this latter class tfeat Hiss Laird has had considerable ifljjicces8. tThe first of the waves of radiation be studied were thbse of visible ;ht.

She planned to keep the eggs until the price would go up, then reap a nice profit. Instead, she heard the chirping of chicks, and on investigation found that 42 of 48 eggs tad hatched. tention of the physicist, who found that the Interval from the red to the violet was, in the language of the physics of sojind, less than an octave, the violet rays having less than twice the frequency of .the red ones. Naturally the question arose as to exact* ly what was outside this brief space of waves capable of affecting the sense of vision. Where the Link I* Missing. And so outside were found Infra-red waves of heat and above these, beyond another gap, were found Hertzian waves used In wireless, while at the lower end of tfye -spectrum appeared the celebrated ultra-violet ray. Then came the long gap, the missing link for which the physicist is searching, and after that the Ertladungsstruhlen, Joined to the X-rays. Last on the scale are the gamma-rays, probably in the neighborhood of two five-biUlonth9 of an Inch in length. From the waves of wireless which.are often ten miles long to the minute waves of the ganima- ray, the visible &d the invisible spectrum is continuous save for the two harrowing gaps on opposite sides of the visible section. Armed with a diffraction grating graduated to the ten-thousandth's of an inch, a vacuum of high order and apparatus for the production of slow moving electrons, the scientist is on the trail of a wave so small that almost 10,000,000 of them measure but an inch In length. And the physicist gives promise of finding his missing link before his brother scientist, the biologist. "Old Aunty" to the Boneyard. Maysville, Ky.--Score another for the automobile.

REAL CHIVALRY AMONG HOBOES GirJs, in Continental Hike, Never Insulted Exsept by Rick Motorists. TRAMP COUNTRY 18 MONTHS Co-eds 8et Out to Learn of Life In Open West and Find Modern Sir Galahad In Knight ef the Read. Indianapolis.--The modern Sir Galahad stews his evening meal In a tomato can suspended over a fire built of chips from railroad ties, according to two girl "knights of the road," who enjoyed a year and a half of hobo life in a dozen western states and "bummed" their waV across the continent. The girls who found presentday chivalry flourishing in a b<Jx car are Miss Hazel Gage of La Grange, Ind., and Miss Virna Haskins of Orland, Ind. Both are graduates of the Trl-State college nt Angola, Ind. They set out in 1917 to learn of the life in the open West Hobos doffed their caps and courtesied, lonely fishermen placed their cabins at the disposal of the girl' pals, and rugged cowpunchers shared their meals <fu the prairie. Everywhere the girls were treated with the utmofet respect It was only when the girls accepted automobile rides from the modernized tourists of the East* that the dreams of knightly chivalry burst like soap bubbles. The tourists would insist on holding the girls' hands. Although the girls became expert revolver shots, they never once were In danger from the rugged westerners they met. A few months ago, minus everything but a ray of hope, they tumbled out of a box car on a mining camp side track near Tonopah, Nev. In the succeeding weeks they saved their pay checks, and, with a bank account of $400 felt secure. Then came the Idea to walk across half the continent to their homes, dressed as men. Their experiences were varied and thrilling. A Mexican sheep herder found them exhausted on a hillside. He shared his meal of bread and mutton with them, managed to get them aboard a freight train and bade them good-by. A tramp on the train peeled off his coat for them to sit on. and the three swapped stories until the train pulled on to a siding. "Everywhere," said Miss Gage, **we found the spirit of fellowship, backed up by the unwritten law of man and woman, Not even in those old saloonhotels was there any Improper familiarity. It was a new life which we discovered-- the life of universal understanding in the great outdoors." HITS AT OIL LEASES •r .at • Ancient Document Casts f on Their Validity.

Springfield.--By a vote of *48 to 19, downstate constitutional convention delegates voted the past week to limit Chicago's representation In both houses of the state legislature. Of the downstate delegates, Ddye voted against the plan because, he said. It "was not severe enough on Chicago." All Cook county delegates voted against the scheme. The new plan, presented as a "compromise" by downstate, gives the ter» ritory outside of Cook two-thirds of the senate and a majority of the house for all time. Also It reduces Chicago's representation by making "electors" who voted for governor, instead of population as heretofore, the basis of representation. In 1016 the vote for governor downstate was 23.3 per cent of the population, as against 17.8 per cent in Cook county. » The present senate has 51 members, 19 of whom arfr from Cook county. Under the "compromise" plan the senate will have 57 members, but Chicago's representation will not be Increased. Downstate will get the six extra senators, a plan which gives Chicago leRs influence in the Renate than It now has. The ratio of one-third of the senate Oor Cook county and two-thirds for downstate is fixed in the proposal ndopted for the life of the new constitution. Chicago's decrease on a percentage basis is from 37 to 33.3. In the house Chicago's representation will be ncreased, but Is limited forever to less than a majority. Chicago's members in the house now number 57. Under the new plan It is estimated the number will be 63. The total Membership In the house is fixed at 153. It con be neither decreased nor Increased. Minority representation Is abolished. There will be 153 districts and one member elected from each. Electors who voted for governor will be the deckling factor In mapping out the districts. This applies to both senators and representative districts. But this provision limits Cook county to one less than a majority. t "The majority of any county as constituted at the time of the adoption of this constitution shall never be entitled to more than 76 representatives." Seventy-seven is a majority and that is retained by ftownstate. A reapportionment is required every twelve years instead of ten as at present. The vote cast for governor next preceding the year of reapportionment will determine the basis for the new map. It was predicted that Chicago will not get 76 votes within 40 years and perhaps not for 50 years. Chicago delegates predict the defeat of the new basic law because of the convention's action. Downstate delegates take the opposite view. The vote came when 16 Chicago delegates were absent. Judge Cutting was'said to be the only one recorded absent for a valid reason. the illness of his wife. Several of the Chicago delegates made bitter comments on „ the action of the downstate forces. "That plan cannot be defended In Ccol^ county/' said Delegate Sutherland. "I believe the plan is fair," commented Delegate Carlson of Aledo. "It will give Cook 63 votes In the house. The clause of limitation will not have any effect for 50 years. In my opinion. Delegate Gale of Galeshurg defended the downstate plan, Intimating that he was afraid of community Interest In Chicago. Delegate Eltlng said "Chicago has nothing to fear from downstate." Delegate Dunlap, by a vote of 46 to 29, gained approval for a rural credit system In Illinois If the people upon referendum will approve of the plan formulated by the legislature. Delegate Dove said that the bankers' association was opposed to the scheme. He read Into the record a letter from the secretary of the Illinois association saying that on a referendum "a majority of Its members have indicated opposition to the measure." "I think that this plan will aid in Increasing the food supply, and I nhall vote#tr It regardless of the opposition of the bankers," said Delegate Michael. Opponents of the plan asserted Its advocates would not be able to get the required 52 votes on the second read lug. The convention before adjournment adopted a program which they believe they can finish by July 10. Beginning Tuesday, two sessions at least are to be held dally for each week day. The subjects will be taken up In the following order: Distinction between legislative and constitutional matters; regulation of warehouses; program for Chicago and Took county; downstate municipalities; the bill of rights; the courts; miscellaneous subjects; revenue and taxation; further amendments to the constitution; and the initiative and referendum. Will Not Submit Question. s The committee of the whole at a session a few days ago, following resumption. of the work of the constitutional convention adopted article 5 of the state executive after keeping the old wording on the calling of state troops by the governor. It refused to submit to ,the people a shorter ballot question by calling for a referendum on whether the secretary of state, attorney general, state treasurer. and superintendent of public Instruction should continue to be subject to el»ction or be appointed. .ALCOHOL-3 PER GENT. , A^etabielVepanltoaftrAa I similatinfclheFood ty Be^vla- [itoftlteStoiaatteawlBqwdsrf Children Cry For r. ,"i j thereby Promoting Wieslfo I Cheerfulness and ftwtCoafcta nettter Opium,Morphine nai | ypT NARCOTIC ggfeg. and revtrWmwwjW* I ]Loss^E^£Lcv WE502SS Enact Copy of Wrapper.

Experiments have proved It entirely practicable to deliver belated transatlantic mall steamers at sea by airplanes. The ship may have taken Its departure several hours previously, yet the flying machine, with a speed of 100 miles or more an hour, can easily catch up with it and put the mail aboard. A plane of the "flying boat" type is used for this purpose, and the waters proof mall bag Is held in a chute on the side of the hull. The aviator flies over the ship and the rigging entangles a long line dropped from the plane that has grapple tails on Its end. This line Is attached to the mall bag, which, when the grapple tails catch, is Jerked out of Its chute, falling Into the sea. It is then an easy matter to haul the mail bag aboard, while the steamer continues its uninterrupted voyage. ECZEMA! THIS Isn't one of those fake free treatment offers you have seen so many times.
