Many local forces were at work in Maine which were distinctly unfavorable to the President, yet his name carried the Republican ticket to an overwhelm- ing victory. It may not be true, as was formerly said of Maine’s early election—“As Maine goes, so goes the Nation” —but it is a clear indication that the silent man in the White House can get votes. / Straw votes taken throughout the middle west indicate a very strong trend toward Coolidge. One political writer says that John W. Davis does not plan to go west of Denver because he does not expect to get any electoral votes there. The candidacy of Robert LaFollette is likely to dwindle as the time for the election approaches. Its high point in the public mind was in the discussion of possibilities arising out of his candidacy, immediately after he decided to deny the force of the primary law and becomes a candidate for the Presidency. He will gather a big vote in some industrial centers, but the best he can hope for is an obstructionist victory. The American voter is not likely to choose the uncer- tainty which would result from throwing the election into the national legislature. He sees Coolidge carrying Maine, sees him looming big in the straw vote elsewhere, studies his record and his speeches. Just as LaFollette is likely to diminish in strength, Coolidge will gain as November 4 nears. SAVED A lot of people were out of work and a lot more had their incomes reduced between March 1 and July 15. But during this period deposits increased 1250 million dollars in the banks reporting to the Federal’ Reserve System. . At first thought this indicates that people save more when times are dull and money scarce. But it comes to light that 700 millions of the gain was in New York City banks and represents chiefly foreign trade deposits and funds that couldn’t be loaned at home by out-of-town banks not members of the Federal Reserve. Nothing is as mis leading as figures. They always mean at least two things, often contradictory. BOB Woman’s crowning glory, long hair, is doomed—never to return. So predicts Signor Pietro Raspanti, who claims his shears bobbed the first head—a claim that will make bobbed - haired ancient Hgyptian mummies laugh in their graves. Raspanti is a cunning psychologist, though. He thinks, and with good reason, that bobbed hair will survive because “it takes 10 years off the owner’s looks.” Is the average woman more interesting in looking young or pretty? Page Socrates. DISPLACED Another interurban electric railway is forced out of busi- ness by motor trucks and autos. This time it’s the Aurora, Plainfield and Joliet line, in Illinois. Its officials said the. road could no longer operate in competition with “gasoline buggies” except at a loss. = The interurban business has had a hard row to hoe. It started out with high hopes and much public enthusiasm, to bridge the inadequacies of steam railroad service. ‘The auto crowded it too fast. An exceptional situation in the history of American industry. eo. SLIPPERY Russian oil output is mounting rapidly —seven million tans expected this year, or three-fourths of normal pre-war output. With such a plum ripening, you will hear more kindly words about the Soviet from sources connected with our |er. Wall Street and London’s Lombard Street. Russia, her gigantic natural resources bare}y touched, is the next coun- try on the program of foreign exploiters. The Russians will benefit in the exploitation, however, so maybe it’s for the best. China will be the last resource. Dx : Radio Corporation announces an 85 per cent gain in its sales of receiving sets, compared with a year ago, figures cgvering first six months of two years.

SCIENCE CONQUERS FOG (New York Herald Tribune) Into the curtain of “sea smoke” that looms per on the bridge can see on the deck below. Nor is his guess as to what maverick vessels -be moving ‘beyond it much better than that of any landsman in the passenger list. One by one science ig con- quering the perils of the deep, save only fog. Still must the mariner grope his way through the clammy banks that so often enfold his vessels, trusting to half speed and a~ siren to carry him through unscathed. Steam power and steel construc- tion have conquered the gales and even the hurricanes that once sent the stanchest vessels to the bot- tom. The ernational ice patrol, with the assistance of the ,wire- less, has greatly reduced the dan- ger of such another disaster as that when the Titanic was ripped open on a perfectly clear night by a submerged tentacle of a great berg. Careful charting of harbors has rendered it possible to make port, if necessary, in any part of the world without a pijot. But still the fog remains, afd stil while blindly ploughing through it vessels encounter and ram one another as the Swift Ar- row rammed the Boston off Point Judith on Monday night. It was believed during the war that the submarine detectors, which are a sort of undersea tele- phone, had supplied a ship with ears, by which it could listen through fog as well as through darkness. But a ship must be mo- tionless to work the detectors with anything like efficiency.. And it is her business to keep her course, whatever may ‘be the weather. Without question science will some day find a means of dispell- ing, not the fog but its danger. Already wireless brings first aid in time of collision. In the course of time detectors will be evolved which will not only work while vessels are in motion, but locate accurately the position of other ships which are in dangerous proximity. The conquest of fos is the next important step in the science of navigation. When it is accomplished the last major terror of the sea will have vanished.

(Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.)|* The Tangle LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT TO RUTH BURKE, CONTINUED Somebody, Ruth, has talked about the coldness of charity given at \a church door, but it is warmth and comfort beside the kiss your hus- band gives you from a sense of duty. I received a little peck of con- jugal pretense on my cheek. I could not by any possibility offer my lips to Jack, although I don’t mind tell- ing you, dear, that I was so glad to see that stubborn man that I could have fallen on his neck and hugged him until he was breathless. I think I should have done this immediately, and then I would have broken down and wept, if that blessed lamb of 'a baby had not caught sight of me and almost hurled himself out of Sarah’s arms. She put him on the floor, and he was so anxious to reach me that his uncertain little legs doubled up and he fell sprawling and bumped his nose. Of course, he set up a yell that could be heard in the next house. Jack and I both made a dive to pick -him up, and in doing so, our} heads came together with a resound- ing crack. It almost knocked me off my feet, Little Jack cried harder than ever, as he thought something terrible had happened. up, and Jack had forgotten every- thing but the physical pain to him- self. I heard an exclamation from mother, and turned to look ‘at him to find the blood running down his face. “What is the matter?” I exclaimed. “Nothing,” answered Jack, “ex- I'm blinded. Jackie, go to Sarah fox a minute. Mother must take care of daddie, who has hurt himself.” In the meantime mother had brought a wet, cloth and we pro- ceeded to wash away the blood.

He seemed to think it had entered the eye itself. Of course, consternation ruled. Mother sent directly for the doctor. I made Jack lie down upon the sofa, and covered his face with a cloth wet in diluted boracic acid until the physician should arrive. “Don’t worry, Leslie,” Jack said. “It's feeling much better now. Take off the cloth and let me see if I can see.” “I don’t think we would better do that, Jack dear, until the doctor comes. I haven't been able to staunch the blood entirely. “Oh, darling, I never will forgive myself if you have been blinded.” “Don't worry, Leslie. It was nothing you could help. It was just one of those things that happen.” Jack raised his arm and pulled me down to him. This time it was no peck of con- jugal pretense, but a long, lover- like kiss, into which for the time went much of the soreness of my heart, and I think much of Jack’s suspicign and wounded pride. Mother, with her usual wisdom, had sent the car which brought me back from the party to get the doc- tor, and he, thinking that dad ‘was worse, came in immediately. A very quick examination show- ed that although painful, Jack’s eye and eyesight were intact. Finding this I, who up to this time had been quite calm, quietly fainted away.

With \his attention concentrated o n it, his heart naturally re- sponded to his nervous tension and began to run fast. He was sure he had organic valvular trouble.
