Honduian Rebels Are Winning Hard Fight San Salvador, Republic of Salva- ' dor, Wednesday, Aug. 13. Sue-! cesscs by Honduran revolutionary! forces In Central and Western Hon- ! duras are reported in press ills- 1 patches received Here. Gracias, an j important town 25 miles from the \ frontier between Salvador and | Honduras, is reported to have been j taken by the revolutionaries after I 1 hard' lighting in which Government j columns were forced to retreat. The revolutionaries are said to be ad vancing toward La Paz. Comayagua I and Cholutcca, the last named I I place being threatened by forces under General Bopez Gutierrez. Complaint Filed Agaihsi , Grade Crossing by the Highway Commissioner Tlie first action on the part of ; the Commonwealth for the abolish . nient of the dangerous grade cross j iug at the western end of the Dau j pliln Narrows was taken to-day when Highway Commissioner Lewis S. Sadler tiled a complaint against | the Pennsylvania Railroad Company I and the Philadelphia and Reading ! Railway Company alleging that the ! crossing was dangerous and should be eliminated. The crossing is the one which j forms the dividing line between i Dauphin borough and Middle Pax- ! ton township and is just at the 1 southern end of Dauphin. A nuni- J tier of accidents which have re sulted in deaths have occurred at ; the crossing in recent vcars and with large piles of lumber being , placed to the west of the crossing it is practically impossible to sec ' either up or down the tracks of tlio ! two railroads until one is directly j upon them. The companies have ! had a watchman at the crossing for some time, but with the opening of the State highway system above Dauphin to the Clark's Ferry bridge, traffic will increase greatly i on this road and in the Interest of i safety the Highway Department i seeks to have the crossing elimi- I nated entirely. It Is likely that pro- ! vision will lie made for a subway through joint co-operation of the | Highway Department, the Public i Service Commission and the two i railroad companies. Jury in Ford and Tribune Case Is Now Considering Verdicl By Associated PI-CM. j Mount Clemens, Mich., Aug. If.— | The jury which for three months] j has been hearing testimony and i arguments in Henry Ford's S 1,000,- j 000 libel suit against the Chicago I Daily Tribune, retired to-day to eon- ] aider its verdict. Judge James G. Tucker .instruct - i ed the jury that "the right of fair j comment" is expected in the case of j Mr. Ford, because his position as j a great employer of labor and entry as a propagandist into the discus sion of (lie preparedness question made him a public character. The judge held that a newspap'cr has no greater privileges in mak ing- comment than has an individ ual. Tlie jury was instructed further to discuss the case against the Sol omon News Company, which* on a i purely technical charge that It dis- ' : tributed In Michigan 20S copies of ] the Tribune issue of June 23, 1018,' j containing tlie alleged libelous edi j torinl headed "Ford Is An Anarcil | ist," was made a co-defendant. Counsel for tlie plaintiff at the I opening of the rase announced that as tlie Solomon Brothers distributed 1 j the paper in ignorance of its con- j j tents, no damages were sought, ! - Scientific Discussions by Garrett P. Serviss Here is a question from a young | woman, and 1 wonder hc-w many | j young women are as observant as : she shows, herself to lie of things ' usually called "scientific." "Why does the light coming from 1 a searchlight when radiating hea j venward appear io the observer to [stop abruptly on contact with the' i sky? t observed this at Forty-sec- j ! ond street when the beam came ! | from a gigantic searchlight on a | j Government truck. At the angle i I whore it met ttlio sky it stopped." It becomes Invisible where it ] passes out of the dusty lower lay- j ! crs of the atmosphere. The stop j page is not always quite so abrupt, | ; but in peculiar circumstances it' ! may appear as if the beam of light I i actually ended at a certain point,] { This is apt to be the case if you i | arc looking in a direction not far) from parallel to that in which the j light is cast.

Suddenly ap ) pearing from out of tlie West eight years ago, she gave New York a j glimpse of a new and striking type | of beauty, created a sensation and I then dropped from sight as quickly ]as she had appeared. "Jt was a I case of love," she said, in explaining ] her long seclusion. She then told ] how a lingering illness ended sev | eral weeks ago in tiie deatli of her I husband. "Now I ani going back ]to tlie world and Broadway," she I said. "It is my only salvation." I I visible, although it would illuminate | any object! against which it was | thrown, even more brilliantly than lif the air were present, because none of the light would lie ab sorbed, or diffused, on the way from ! the source to tlie target. On tiie moon, lor instance, a searchlight would bo very effective in illumin ating any object toward which it was aimed, but it would show no shaft, or beam, of light. The principle on which a search light is constructed is a very in- I tcresting one. If some malignant demon should I choose to amuse ' himself with <i ] little bonfire in space ho could burn I tlie earth up by simply applying i this principle to the sun, concentra ting the rays from the greater part j of its disk into a parallel, or a con • vergent- beam and focussing that beam upon our planet. The long beam, 03,01)0,000 miles inylength, I would be utterly invisible to the in ■ habitants of other planets, who j would be amazed to see the earth i suddenly kindle and burn without [ any apparent reason. In consequence of the divergence lOf the rays proceeding in itll di ; lections from the spherical surface 'of the sun, the earth actually re ceives less than one two-thousand inillionth part of the heat that the sun scatters in space all around at | the curth's distance. In consequence of this apparent waste of mighty energies, some per sons from whom 1 receive letters •are unable to believe that tlie sun I really does send its radiations in j every direction, radially from its surface. They prefer to think that | the rays of tiie sun go only to its | planets, and not to empty space | where there are no planets to re ! ceive them. - This would certainly be an in comparably more economical ar [ range merit, and one peculiarly ap | pealing to the "business mind," but i Nature seems to ignore all our ideas ' of business and economy unless I the fact be that we have no con j ceptton of her. real objects. We i begin in all such reasonings with j the enormous assumption that we, I and the things that we can com !pt ehend, anil which directly con- I sole objects of her care. I She plainly rebukes that assump j lion every day of our lives by pay j ing not the slightest attention to our i desires and interests, but going j straight ahead along her own in- I comprehensible way, and yet we I seldom or never learn the lesson she i thus conveys, or even prcceivo that j there Is a lesson to be learned. ! Perhaps it is far more import ant to the sun, or to the guiding I intelligence behind the sun, that i his rays should reach his distant j and innumerable fellow suns, the i stars, than that they should illum ! inate and warm, for a few brlgl' I years, the crawling and quarrel ling inhabitants of a dusty little ball ! that 'happens to be circling around j him. AUGUST 14, 1919. r I Life's Problems Are Discussed ; i BY MRS. WII.SON WOODROW I have been asked to explain ' more in detail an article I wrote i which appeared under the caption, "Finding: Your Best Talent." Tle correspondent who makes this 10- ciuest says: "In having the patience and con sideration to answer these questions you will help not only myself but : several other struggling souls who | have read your article and have I talked to me about it. "First, you say: 'We would not j desire whatever our hearts are set j upon, if it were not in our power to secure it.' Do you believe that ' that is a fact?" Yes; I do believe it. We each | have some particular bent or dircc- I tion in which our minds naturally turn. That is our guidepost; it in dicates the desire of our souls. But. in many cases it is not heeded. We let events or persons with stronger wills than ours decide ror us, or we ar lazy and hate to make tlio necessary effort. One often hears . people in middle life saying, "I should have been an inventor," or. "I should have been a designer," which shows that they've recog nized their bent, but for one reason i or another didn't follow it. It would take too much application, they thought, to much time, and they were amused or temporarily inter ested in other things. They would not discipline themselves to the point of holding steadfastly to one idea, and they continued to sell their birthright lor a mess of pot tage. My correspondent next asks: "You toll the story of a young wom -an who achieved her wish to be come a greater opera singer; docs a mere wish always mean accom plishment?" Certainly. If the wish is strong : enough—a flame that burns stead j lly and does not have to be ie i lighted again and again. You can- I not break an iron bar, but you can j cuit it by the application of an acetelyne torch. In the case of the singer, she had the voice and the desire to be pre eminent in her profession, and that desire was so strong that it broke down by its irresistible force all of the innumerable obstacles which j threatened to defeat her. Fan you imagine an "Edison not achieving his II destiny? The third question is;' "Please state why in your opinion so many people desire and attempt to do the I things for which they are not adapt | ed and therefore never succeed in j doing well? j They are not good gardeners. I They do not consider the quality of the land that is given them to till. They do not stop to discover the nature and direction of their talents. They are swayed by the whim of the moment, or by the opinion of others, or by the spirit of emulation; or else they follow the line of least resistance. Most persons want all the good things of life without lifting a linger to get them. They feel ag grieved because their desires arc, not handed to them on a golden platter. They are not willing to make the sacrifices and go through the drudgery that is the prepara. Tory school to any kind of achieve ment. The percentage of people who put every ounce of their brains I in what they set out to do is al l most negligible. There is a great i triple combination which can con | dfler any circumstances—brains, wits and ingenuity. As an instance, there is the old | Greek story of Atalanta. She was | I lie king's daughter and a famous l runner, outdistancing all the youths • who competed against her, and in ] evitnbly winning. It was current f gossip that she would marry the I runner who could outfoot her in a race, and most of the young men ol her day spent their time in training. But no matter how many entered I the lists or how hard they strove to win, she always left them be hind taking the dust, of her winged leet. So her despairing suitors stood abound, shrugging their shoul ders and saying jn effect: "Fat chance we've got. She can leave all of us at the post any time she chooses." But came one with the firm de termination of winning her. lie knew that on a question of speed she far outclassed him, but he re lied upon his knowledge of femi nine psychology. Consequently during the race when Atalanta had run about half the distance and he was lagging behind, he threw after her a golden apple from the Garden of Iles pcrides. She knew she had plenty of time, so she stopped to pick it. up. ITe crept nearer, and seeing him she sprinted ahead again. He threw another apple. He was very near, but she couldn't resist that beautiful globe of solid gold, and she had to swerve out of her course a little to get it. thereby losing distance. It was almost neck and neck be tween them, when he threw the third apple. Relying on one of her famous final bursts of speed, she stooped for it, but he shot past her as she did so and touched the goal. This is a case not unusual of Mediocrity on the job, so to speak, outdistancing Genius so sure of it self that it doesn't bother to take pains. •'til.

No cause for use of tlie old jail has arisen In the min ing camp for so long that one of the citizens leased it for a safe place to shelter his patient cow.- The reason for the jail's declining usefulness may be found, perhaps, in Facer's Hotel, where the fixtures and great mirror which of old beamed on the patrons of the town's largest sa loon. now adorns nothing more-harm ful than a dining room. The few old timers who still live in the little mountain town recall the time when "Two-Gun Charlie" drank deep before the same bar and then ran amuck down the main street, de claring that he would kill every Mex ican he saw, but shooting at every person, regardless of nationality Thailks to his liquor, his aim was not the best, and only one man was struck by the bullets. Nicholson was conflncd in the jail until he wm so ber and then released with instruc tions to leave the camp. . U BEALB &BTENCILBI L HARRIBBB STENCIL WORKS If 130 LOCUST BT. HARWBI& PA. U .
