GETTING THE DROP. Governor Pjnchot. j of Pennsylvania, skeins to be getting the drop on other Republicans who are considered candi dates for Uje Kepublieau I’resideatisl noiniuatiou. While the other politicians of Governor Piuohofs faith have been sit ting quietly ill tile blind for the oputing of the gunning season he lias started a season of his own aud during the pint several weeks he has been doing some straight-forward shooting. We agrei with The News and Observer in the thought that “whatever his aims, he is accomplishing much of value. - ’ Governor Pinehot lias devoted the greater part of his time recently to a study of the prohibition questiop ami the fact that he has forced this issue when other Republicans were willing to let it alone at present, constitutes probably the most effective work the Pennsylvania Chief Executive has gotten in since be ing mentioned as an opponent to Mr. Coolidge in the next Republican conven tion. Governor Pinehot believes that he has seen the light on the dry question as it affects Pennsylvania and he has not hesitatejl to make his views known. In a letter sent Sunday night to (lie Secretary of the Treasury, Governor Pin ehot placed the blame for what he term ed the "breakdown’’ of Federal prohibi tion enforcement in Pennsylvania upon the Federal permit system. He declared Mr. Mellon, as Secretary nf the Treas ury. litis the power, by control of these permits, to make violations "substantial ly impossible.” "You, as Secretary of the Treasury," Mr. Pinehnt’s letter said, "have the pow er to cut this flood off at the source by revoking these permits and by refusing to issue others except upon conditions sufficient, with holiest enforcement, to make violations substantially impossi ble." This forces the issuq. It puls it squarely up to a member of the cabinet of President Coolidge. What will Mr. Mellon prove? If he can't prove that Governor Pinehot is incorrect then the Pennsylvania Governor has scored a triumph. And that triumph will be scor ed against members of his own party. FORD'S POPI LARITY. There, are some people who find it practically impossible to understand Hen ry Ford's popularity with the farmers and the laboring folks generally. It is not hard to understand, we feel, when many of the suets are known. Labor, the organ of the unions, gives , some of the facts in a recent article in which it states that on the Ford railroad till’ average monthly earning of employes is .'SIS" against &13& on other roads. • There is no Sunday or overtime work on the iToefl the union pa per finds that this means work 6ur more men on the eight-hour shift.* Toe paper points out further that under the Ford management the road is making money, something" it never did before. In all of Ilia plunts Mr. Fowl pays good money, (* addition be baa promis ed to manufacture a cheaper fertilizer if the government will give him a lease on Mnsele Nlmals. These propositions ap peal* to the average man and- especially when they have been characteristic of Air. Ford for years. The Detroit manu facturer has beeu mentioned prominently us a candidate for President, and it must be said to his rytgP that he paid good " wages and ofleedd' 'good cheap eopunodi ties even hefolfc lw was ever conphjored Presidential timber. That's what makes h{s work impressive. .Senator ©near Fnderwood ls actively in the tight now seeking the Democratic ».

Senator Underwood undobutedly will go to the next Democratic convention with many votes, but he will not get the nomination. He is not popular enough yet with the average man and McAdoo is. That’s going to be the biggest reason Mc- Adoo will be hard to defeat in the con vention. MIDDLE-AGED GOLFERS -SCORN DOCTOR’S WARNING Moderate Golf Means Health for a Man Past 50. They Say. Cleveland. Oct. 30.—The warning of Loudon physicians that persons 50 years old or more are endangering their lives by playing golf is scoffed at by Cleveland’s “Indian Scouts" foursome, believed to* be one of the oldest active quartets in the world, who may be seen regularly on the *;olf links here. Their combined age is 227 years, None of them started playing golf until he was past the half century mark. The foursome is composed of Charles tV, Burrows, 74: G. T. Mclntosh. 75; .1, W. S. Webb. 00. and A. W. Neale, 50. All are prominent business men here and may be seen on the links “every Saturday and a emip’e or three times a week," as one of them put it. When they are “on their game” the foursome play in the low eighties or nineties. They have been playing to gether for about 12 years. “I don't know of any pastime more pleasant, more healthful and more in vigorating for a man between the ages of 0(1 and SO." Mr. Burrows said. “Os course a mail wlio allows his muscles to become soft and flabby from lack of exercise, smoking, overeating aud drink ing and tffion goes out on the course and overtaxes his strength is in danger, bill moderate golf means health for a mail past 50 who keeps himself in erudition. “Walking around tile course by your self or even with three friends would be too monotonous. Playing golf, you exert yourself for an iustant with a stroke drive and then you rest while the-others tee off- If you get tired you can sit down and rest, and you're resting iu the open air. “Golf holds your interest. You're con tinually trying to better your game. You forget the poor shots amt try to remember some of the good cn-s. 111' four of us play about the same game, but we're continually trying t 1 beat each other, and that's where a lot of the fun comes in. “Men of our age can't play tennis or baseball because these games are too streuuous. We're satisfied with golf, de spite the English doctors' warning, and I guess we'll stick to if. NEW SYSTEM OF CENTERLINING ROADS Down the Center of Every Road a Black Line Will Be Painted. Raleigh, N. C„ Ot. 31.—Adopting n policy now in use in many of the states ill tile East luiviug road building pro grains underway. the State Highway Commission calls attention to the new system of eenterlining the roads which it is using. Down the center of every highway iu the state, according to commission offi cials. a white or black line will tie paint ed. The white wilt be used on the bi tuminous surfaced roads aud the black ou the concreted roads. The object of this line is to divide the road exactly ill half with tlte hope that traffic proceed ing in opposite directions will keep to the right of the line. This method hat proven useful in oth er states in keeping automobilists to the right side t,f the road, the psychological effect, according lo the officials, being great. The lines may tie easily seen a: night iu the reflection of the headlights and no doubt will prove of great help to automobilists using the roods during the dark hours, it is said. Several roads of the state already have been given the streak down the middle and the results attained ou these roads have been encouraged to commission offi cials who see in this plan a method of reducing the hazards of auto travel.

New York, Oct. 31.—Towering steel structures in New York will be ap proximately one and a half iuches shorter this winter than they were in •August. The shrinkage of the skyscrap ers will not be noticeable to Gothamites, 'nor to the residents of other cities where the change already is taking place, but :to the structual and technical engineers of steel the fact will be kuowu in figures. X study made by the building plan ning service of the National Associa tion of Building Owners and Mauagers, covering thermal effects upon buildings, made public here, shows that the Wool worth building, the Metropolitan tower and the Equitable building, among New York’s highest structures, will have been shortened from one and two-tenths to one and a half inches- The figures were arrived at by cal culating the expansion and contraction of steel according to the for mu’a fami liar in every physics laboratory. The construction and expansion of steed*for each Fahrenheit, degree change in tem perature is only .00000077 inches, but when tnis figure is multiplied by OHO inches in the Wool worth building (uot •counting nU»c basement and sah-base ments ) irSs shown that each degree change makes a difference of .Util inches in the structure. With the Metropolitan building’s S4OO iuches, each degree change makes a difference of .O.j(5N inches and with the 71*00 inches in the Equitable building (counting from tin* sub-basements to the roof) tin* differ ence for each degree of change is .04K7 iuches. According to the estimate of t’larence T- Coley, operating manager of the Equitable building and former president of the Xutiouall Association of Building Owners and Managers. the probable imit of temperature change i< about 2T> degrees. ‘ Because of tin* expanding and con tracting of tin* st degrees on the hottest summer day and 0s degrees on a cold winter’s day. where tin* build ing is adequately beared. “Should the buildings be allowed to cool off on Sundays and holidays to a temperature of 40 or 50 degrees h can be seen that the contraction w mid be imiidi more marked and the bulging off of plaster would be excessive. Gem-rally it can be assumed that, the temperature [variation in the buildings is about -5 degrees. In a building such as tin* (Equitable which is 000 feet fiom the roof to the sub-l»aseinent. the expansion between 00 and S 5 degrees would be 1.2 inches. which variation must be follow ed by tin* brick work, plaster, verticle piping, elevator guide rails, etc.” If the buildings should ever be al lowed to cool to the freezing punt the ■•ont ruction of the Woolworth building would be o.*J inches: the Metropolitan building would shorten three inches and ihe Equitable building would be 2.(5 inches shorter than the normal height in mid-summer, the statistics reveal sl,ooo Funeral Sermon Fee Awarded Minister By Court.

Washington. *Oct. 31.—Secretary Mr'- lon intends to become active in pro moting President Coolidge’s aspirations for rhe Kepublieau nomination for President next year. He will back Mr. Coolidge* not- only with his in tine nee, but bis resources, according to Pennsyl vania Republicans who have conferred with him. The first open move of this kind in behalf of President Coolidge was made last week, when Secretary Mellon in duced tin* organization leaders in Penn sylvania? his own State, to declare for uninstmeted delegates. This program is aimed against Governor Pinehot, who demanded of the lenders that deegates be instructed for him. Dependable men will be chosen by the machine in Penn sylvania. if possible, and their voVs will be east for Coolidge if he is ac ceptable to the powers in the Republi can party after his recommendations are passed upon by the next Congress. In taking this action the Pennsyl vania machine is forcing Pinehot to abandon his receptive candidacy or be come an aggressive and active candi date. He is expected to accept the sup port offered him by a large farm or ganization and seek the delegates from a number of Western States as well [as to carry on the tight in Pennsylvania ] against.

The menu of ft certain West End res taurant in London is a thing of wonder to strangers. It contains several pages of various dishes, all classified, most with French names. The country visitor eyed it up. and eyed it down, but could make nothing of it. And the waiter stood silently by his side. At last, in despair, the diner dabbed his finger in the middle of one page, und said ‘‘Bring me some o' that." ‘‘Out, tn’sieu!” replied the waiter. "That' ees mayonnaise dressing, sir." “I know that, my man.” snorted the. countryman. “I can read." "But. m'sieu." said the waiter apol ogetically. “what will you have it on?" The diner glared. • "On a plate, of course, you idiot !” iip roared. "I>o you feed, your guests in troughs in this restaurant?" The Modern Sportsman. "Have a good hunting trip?" "Rotten.
