OLD RULES FOR NEW VOTERS ARE SIMPLE BUT FIRM The Women of Philadelphia Owe to a Victorious Cause the Scrupu lous Observance of the Indis pensable Formalities r" FEMININE curloilty were really Insatiable, Smull's Legislative Hand book would now be leading the list of noufictlon best seller on the bookstalls of Pennsylvania.

The narrative, however, h not en livening and we do not recommend tho new clacs of electors In this state to read it. Admitting, as W. S. Gllbprt did, that "the law is the embodiment of everything that's excellent," tho fact that it has a weakness for dcpresslngly elaborate verbiage cannot be denied. The chief imprcion conveyed to its readers (If any) by the latest "Smull" Is that elections in this commonwealth are a process of appnlling Intricacy and tlm nunlificatlons for voting involve the mastery tape. of a bewildering ma's of red And yet the male electorate rather . making systematic plans for demoblll- seems to enjoy election day and thcjratlon.

A little feminine curiosity on this subject would, of course, have estab lished this truth long ago. But It Is difficult to be strongly interested in a theme with which one has no personal practical concern. Clarifying questions that wives might havo asked their hus bands or daughters their fathers were not propounded. That "Smull." though easily avail able, was rejected, may be accounted n good thing.

HARDING AND THE VETS ONE piece of desired and desirable legislation that will be properly for warded through the election of Senator Harding is the homestcading of avail able portions of the public domain by war veterans. This is ono of the very important features of a reconstruction program that has become virtually ob literated in the mass and mess of poll ties which have replaced really con structive reconstruction. As far back ns the fall of 1017 Sen ntor Hanlintr realized the iranortaucc of that the government give n farm to each returning soldier who wnnted one, and he foresaw the wisdom alfo of provid ing means for the financing of the soldier-farmers In n way that would give them a legitimate initial lift': but, through a fair system of repayment, not make them "beholden" as bene ficiaries of charity. In those days many persons were worried over tho problems of demobili zation. Senator Harding's knowledge of history and his supreme faith In the Intelligence and the patriotism, in peace time ns well ns in wartime, of the American, was n wholesome antidote to the frctfulness of the worrisome. He knew that Clnclnnatus came hack to his unfinished furrow after saving Rome from tho barbarians. He knew that Pompey's soldiers were given of the public lands and settled down to peace ul ngramn purwits. ne knew that In fro,. tlu fivil Wnr tho nrmlps retiirnpd ufter tho Civil War tho armies returned to normal nursults nuietly and gladly, He knew there would be no upset when - .. . , our 0,000,001) were tnrougn witn active service. Above nil, Senator Harding saw a big opportunity to satisfy large numbers of men who might wish to continue a vig orous outdoor life on tho land, and, linked with It, perceived an opportunity to stem the cityward tido and to restore agriculture to something like its prestige of half a century ago. Underlying his Tirnnosition to allot tho fallow lands, millions of acres of It in government iiusKoeiuu, un a luuusuum uuu "-i' , freo balloons and sounding oauoons enr philosophy of benefiting not merely tho jrylng self-registering instruments have men who would profit by tho land given J probed the secrets of these upper tj)ejr sacrjficeai an(i 0f replenishing the n well-warranted recompense xor farms with strong, hearty men, but also of adding to the national welfare as a whole. Food production is ono of tho great needs of tho country. Return of in terested men to ngrlculturo Is noccssary to counterbalance the marked Industrial and commercial trends of the ngc. It is not too late to tako ndvantage of tho desire of mnny ex -service men to enter farming, though some of the oppor tunity has departed. It is certain that Senator Harding's interest in this vital subject will develop It to the highest success when he is In the White House. CORNFED! WHY NOT? WITH on announced bumper crop of corn in prospect ns the reward of this year's tilth, tho question arises, Whnt nro wn going to do nbout it and with It? Cornfed cattle always took tho prlzo for bulk and beauty nt the county fairs, and thc public can nbsorb some of thp surplusngp of the cereal indirectly via beefsteak, bacon, ham and roast pork, especially if the cheer ful forecast of a drop in ment ever does reach the ear of the butcher. Hooverisra during tho war taught a great majority of Amorlcans tho value of corn as a food for humans ns well as stock. But the necessity of eating it. as n personal sacrifice in aid of the national emergency, unfortunately put on It the label of "something good for us." nnd folks simply abhor what is "preached as good for them. As a people, Amerlcuns never did fully realize the food valuo In maize or Indian corn, though Hooverism nnd the cookery experts did much to restore to tho tnblo the many nutritious and deli cious viandB based on this sole cereal contribution of the New World to tho world's grnnary.

Redden, an aeronautical expert, to utilize the higher air currcnto of tho earth's atmosphere In aerial flights, which would mean breakfast In Han Francisco nnil dinner In New York the samo day, or a trip from Ncw'York to London between sunrise and sunset, Is not by any means so chimerical as it mav sound to mnnv. In fact. It is not even a new Idea, though hcretoforo It has been tnerclv n dream of the theorists and has had to remain in tho domain of tboory because there was no mechanical possibility of actually doing it. THE proposition is based upon the assumption that there Is a steady current of air blowing from west to cast over the earth at the tremendous rate of something over 200 miles nn hour. An airplane trnvellng with n speed of 100 miles an hour an ordinary achieve ment In these marvelous days and tak ing advantage of this current would thercbyiicqulro a speed of 300 miles nn hour, which would easily accomplish tho transcontinental or transatlantic voy ages within ten hours. This upper current of air has long been suspected by meteorologists and has been conclusively proved within the last two decades. Early in tho eighteeu for ties, If memory Is not nt fault, Thomas Wise, tho pioneer of American balloon ing, tried to finance an expedition to Europo by free balloon, depending en tirely upon this current for propulsion. Later, Prof. Samuel A. King, the pic turesque aeronaut of this city, attempted to do the samo thing. PROFESSOR KINO had a morn sci entifically Inclined mind than Wlso, and in all of his 400 or more balloon ascensions ho mAdc It a practice to make mcteorologlcnl observations especially with reference to the clouds, their ap pearance their npparent composition and particularly their phenomena dur ing storms. Fraeticnlly nil of the early data about tho upper surfaces of tho cumulus clouds now on file in Wash ington were contributed by him. Cumulus clouds nrc those great, beau tiful, rolling masses like huge bunches of cotton-wool which pile up in all sorts of wonderful shapes and roll Into tow ering, fleecy mountains that reflect the sunlight back to the earth sometime in great blazes of luminous glory. They are the lowest of the clouds. Their bot tom edges nrc f.om a half to three quarters of a mile above tho earth, but tho far-flung peaks of their glistening spires mny reach upward a mile or more above that. These clouds drift in nil directions with the prevolllng winds. They are too low' to be nffcctpd by the current which tho nvintors would use. THE first suspicion of the existence of this higher current was caused by a prolonged and widespread study of the clouds known as cirrus and those called cirro-stratus. These names sound tech nical, but the clouds nro familiar sights in our sky and nrc known to everybody. The cirrus clouds are detached clouds, looking fenthery in texture and very thin and delicate, usually lying line uim i tenuous streaks, sometimes a number of '! .!. 1 -h11k1 linnIn Thnon them appearing in parallel bands. These are tho highest clouds, 'ine cirro stratus are thin, whitish sheets some times covering tho sky completely and giving It a milky nppearance. Ilalos about the sun nnd moon are often pro duced by these clrro-Btratns clouds. milESE two classes of clouds are from J- two to three miles in height nnd they have been traced to 8(1,000 feet. It vnn soon discovered that they were drifting 6tendlly and with considerable lspecd from wc'st t0 thc east Manncd reaencs until a great ueni oi nam " been collected, all proving that this huge and very rapid current is a reality, at least north of 30 degrees north lati tude. In fact, It Is now known that there Is a great vortex of nlr rushing about thc North Polo in this direction. THE reason for this Is by no means hard to understand. Reduced to Its simplest theories, anybody can easily grasp it, though when nil of the discov eries of meteorologists are introduced It becomes quite complicated. Let us consider it in its very simplest nnd entirely theoretical aspect. Tho earth, as every ono knows, Is n great ball revolving rapidly irom west to eust. The distance around the enrth is, of course, greatest nt the equator. Thnt will be very npparent If you compare the earth to a tomato which you nre going to slice. The slice which Is cut from the middle will bo the biggest nround. As the slicing goes on toward tho ends the slices become smaller and smnller in circumference, until you get a pair of little ones containing the stem nnd the knob on the bottom. The earth is about 25,000 miles around the equator. As it revolves onco every twenty-four hours, this means thnt any point on the equator Is whirled around nt the tremendous rate of 1042 mlleu an hour. Still considering tho mntter theoreti cally, friction would cause the nlr nt the equator to be whirled with thn earth and to attain approximately tne same speed. Thnt gives us a theoretical starting point, witn inn air winning from west to enst with the equator at the rate of 10 J2 miles nn hour. But the great heat at the equator causes this air to expand and rise, still whlrilng, let us suppofe, nt this same rate. Its place Is at once taken by the cooler airs from the north. They in their turn, going downward, suck this hot nir up northward to tako their place, and, still whirling nt about 1042 miles an hour, this air from the equator finds itself over, ue will say, Philadel phia and New ork. BUT, when you sliced your tomato, you found thnt the slices cut this far from the middle woro considerably smaller around than the middle slice. So it is considerable less dlstnncc uround the earth, stra'cht enst and west, in thc latitude of Philadelphia than It Is nt the equator. The dlstancp Is, in fact, just about Ifi.OM) miles. With ono ,.nvnliitlnn of the enrth every twenty- four hours, this menus that Philadelphia is whirled only 7U., miles an nour irom west to east. But thc upper current of nir now ove' Philadelphia, which came from the tquator, whirling at 1042 miles an hour, Is still whirling at that same rate, so that Its speed from west to east Is greater thun Philadelphia's speed by the difference between 1012 nnd 705, or 217 miles on hour. That, in its simplest form, is the rea son for this upper current of nir. There aro mnny quite complicated contributory reason too inolved to expluln hero, nnd other conditions whl'di oppose It, but tho sum of the opposition Is not iimiv. iiescGnoeu uuer uiuniux u world's altitude record of over 111,000 feet, or moro than six miles, and reported that ho bad encountered a west to east wlndof 220 mllea an hour It merely confirmed tha reasoning of ths Rcltntlsts and tb-TsalU"? thete wn IZ--M--- W" H1V " SHOflT CUTS a Mt.

STUART Women and the Voto "Woman's vote, llko woman's influ ence, cannot help but be for good." Former Governor Edwin S. Stuart made this statement today In his office. Mr. Stuart, who has always been a keen student of politics, even since bis with drawal from active part in them, had no pessimistic word to mnr tho note of cheerfulness ho felt for tho result of woman's suffrage. "Intelligence? Yes, I bcllevo that women will show, on the whole, more intelligence nt tho polls than men have shown. It is imnossiblo to say whether I they will be bound so closely by party lines as mnny mnscuiine voters imvu been, but I see no cause for the least 1 worry over 11m re-uii "There will be ward nnd nrcclnct politicians from the ranks of women, of course; but the number of those will be iu a decided minority. Tile Pnnkhursts and their ilk will not bo the predomi nate note iu woman suffrage. The great influence will be thnt of the women In the home. "There hns been a lot snld about thc probability thnt women will not voto a straight party ticket because their fathers did before them, n charge that has often been thrown up to metr. For the present, nt any rnto, I doubt whether ull women will vott unaided and independently. What more natural than .for n grown-up daughter to say, 'Whom are you voting for, daddy?' nnd then follow suit! And what more natural than for a wife to take the ad vice of her husband which, ordinarily, is tho best nnd sinccrest advice she could get? 1 nm speaking now, of course, of the 'home-womnu' nnd not the suffragist who has been fighting iu politics for her cnuse for many years.

Tho influence of one mother with five or six sons will be worth more than all tho futhcr.s In the country. On moral Issues she is going to pull her sons with her in thc matter of voting. Tho liquor qucstiou is, of course, settled, but kindred nrnhlpms will come up from time to time, nnd it will bo tho women who will decide them. "Tnkc, for example, tho matter of wnrs. We have seen tho nttitudu of American women In nil our wnrs in the pnst. They havo hated with all tho love in their hearts to see their sons go nway, but they linvc at the same time insisted that it was the duty of those sons to go, because they huve realized that the war was a just nnd wise one. "You can well immrlno thnt their influence will bo against wnr unless thnt war bo a necessary one involving some great moral or spiritual Issue. In such u'case, we need not worry that women will bo too pacific. "Reverting again to the mntter of the way in which the women will vote and as before, I nm referring to thc great mass of women in thc homes It seems reasonable to suppose thnt theiu will be n great deal of vote duplica tion. In a great many families, tho giving of stiff rngo to women will mere ly mean n doubling of the vote iu thnt family, or, if there nro dnughtcrs of Continued on Next rase TODAY IS THE DAY TO SECURE SEATS GAT THE T A R R I C K For the Entire Engagement of Co& COMEDIANS Til" mnit ilnllKhtful musical Comedy oer offered MARY (Isn't It 0. grand old name?)
