"Stuffed" Ballot Box
in English Parliament
If an old yarn la to be believed,
the people of the world owe their
privilege* regarding habeas writs to
an old trlclc of crooked politics.
When the act of 1679 was going
through the English parliament there
was strong opposition In the house
of lords. The third reading, ac
cording to one Bishop Burnet, was
carried by a trick. Two members of
the house of lords. Grey and Nor
ris, were appointed tellers to count
the vote.
A very fat member was counted
?s ten members by I-ord Grey who,
so the narrater says, did It at first as
a Joke. Then, seeing that Lord Nor
rls, who was In bad health, did not
notice what had happened, Grey,
who favored the bill, went on with
his mlsreckonlng, which added
enough extra votes to carry the bill.
"There must have been," wrote a
famous English authority some years
ago, "some mistake, accidental or
willful, for the members were de
clared to be 57 to 55 for the bill and
by the minute-book of the lords It
appears that there were only 107
peers lu the house."

Pure Natural Mineral Water

MILLIONS FIND IT
VERY BENEFICIAL
For over 2,000 years the great min
eral waters of the World, given to us
by Mother Nature, have proven them
selves very beneficial in the treatment
of "rheumatic" aches and pains, ar
thritis, sluggishness, certain stomach
disorders and other chronic ailments.
It has been estimated that Ameri
cans alone have spent $100,000,000 a
year in going to the mineral wells
and health resorts of Europe. Over
$1,000,000 of these foreign mineral
waters are imported annually into this
country to help suffering humanity.
But it isn't necessary to go to Eu
rope to find fine natural mineral water.
We have many marvelous mineral
waters in our own country?many ex
cellent health resorts to which you can
go for the mineral water treatment
for "rheumatic" aches and pains.
Most surprising of all, however, is
the fact that today you can make a
natural mineral water in your own
home at a tremendous saving in ex
pense. For Crazy Water Crystals
bring you, in crystal form, healthful
minerals taken from one of the
yvorld's fine mineral waters. Just the
natural minerals. Nothing is added.
All you do is add Crazy Water
Crystals to your drinking water, and
you have a great mineral water that
has helped millions to better health
and greater happiness.
A standard size box of Crazy Water
Crystals costs only $1.50 and is suffi
cient for several weeks thorough
treatment for rheumatic pains. Crazy

ERROR'S GRIP ON
POPULAR BELIEFS
Two eminent scientists at Atlantic
City, taking stock of the state of
knowledge, catalogued "eight popu
lar beliefs that are not true" thus:
"A child Is influenced by what Its
mother sees or thinks before the
child is born; birth marks are
caused by what a mother sees or
touches before her child is born;
In former times the average length
of human life was much longer than
now; fat people always are good
natured; mental disorders are caused
by overstudy; children of first cous
ins, though of good parentage, are
likely to be feeble minded; heavy
growth of hair on a person's limbs
and chest Indicates great physical
strength; the theory of evolution im
plies that men are descended from
apes."
This list of beliefs unbased In fact
Is particularly interesting because
each of its items Is a venerable cum
berer of the human mind. None of
these widely accepted errors is of re
cent origin; none of them arises from
the life of today; even the youngest
of them, that concerning the theory
of evolution. Is of a considerable age;
and all of them have been contra
dicted by authority time and again.
Yet they persist In vigor apparently
unimpaired, and there is no sign that
any of them is giving ground under
the Impact of denial.
A belief once accepted by the pop
ulation at large has more lives than a
litter of kittens. The earnest incul
cutor of sound doctrine who attempts
to dislodge it undertakes an almost
hopeless task. Nor does this mean
that truth is mocked. The untruth Is
simply, often picturesquely, dressed;
the exceptional circumstances that
seem to support It are vfvldly related
and remain in the memory, while the
growth of truth is likely to be a drab
garment stitched with Ifs and huts.?

Ocean to Yield Up health?
Extraction of Bromine, of Immense Value in Industry,.
Now Being Carried On, and Scientists Are >
Promising Other Miracles.
Ten years ago commercial extrac
tion of any of the score of valuable
elements present In the ocean was
as Impossible as alchemy. Today It
Is an accomplished fact in the pro
. ductlon of bromine, a vital ingredient
in the manufacture of anti-knock
gasoline.
"And I feel safe In predicting that
within the next decade?and possibly
within the next year?we will be
able to recover gold, silver, radium
and all the other untold wealth from
the sea," says Thomas Midgley,
whose research promises this mod
ern miracle.
Midgley, who received the William
H. Nichols medal of the American
Chemical society for his discovery of
knockless gasoline through the ap
plication of tetraethyl lead, then
continued: "Now that we have
made one dream a reality. It is only
a matter of further technical devel
opment and refinement of processes
before we make the sea loosen its
hold on fortune so fabulous that It
staggers the Imagination.
"The process for taking gold from
sea water is no more difficult a prob
lem today than was the task of ex
tracting bromine ten years ago. To
morrow we shall probably be won
dering how we overlooked some
simple discovery that will unlock
the door.
"In fact, the sea Is the greatest
storehouse of wealth on the earth.
Once the secret of tapping it is
known, it will give man an inex
haustible treasurehouse of riches he
will be able to draw on for thousands
of years without striking bottom."
Bromine is used in synthetic chem
istry, medicine and the color indus
try, but Its chief value at present is
in the manufacture of what motor
ists know as "ethyl."
It is a dark reddlah-b'rown non
metallic liquid never found free In
nature but occurring In spring wa
ters, salt deposits and certain silver
ores In addition to sea water. Here
tofore It has been commercially pre
pared from bittern, the residue left
after salt has crystallized. Mldg
ley's company has been working for
years on the problem of producing
bromine directly from sea water, Its
logical source.
One factor making the extraction
of gold at the plant a probability of
the near future Is the theory that
In extracting the bromine, the gold |
content In the sea water becomes
Ionized, or electrically conductive.
Gold, being In the form of a colloid
al suspension, is much note diffi
cult to remove than bromine, but 1f
It becomes Ionized, It could be fil
tered by making It adhere to some
cheap chemical substance.
One of the chief obstacles to the
trofltable extraction of gold from sea
rater hai been the prohibitive cost
>f pumping. With the water already
'unnlng through the plant for the
sllmlnatlon of bromine, gold could
>e made a by-product. The water
tumped up In the course of one day
n the bromine process contains more
ban $1,000 In gold. It also contains,
n varying quantities, radium, silver
ind many other valuable elements.
There are 000,000,000 pounds of
tromine In a cubic mile of water. In
he plant, 15,000 pounds a day are
emoved from 30,000,000 gallons of
vater, or approximately $2,000,000
worth of bromine annually. In that
same cubic mile of water there Is
(10,000,000 In gold and there are
ipproxlmately 300,000,000 cubic miles
>f water In the oceans of the world.

FOR 15 CONSECUTIVE YEARS
Ej VERY winner in the 500-Mile Indianapolis Race ?the most
gruelling tire test in the world ? drove to victory on Firestone High
Speed Tires.
Race drivers know that heat generated by friction inside the cotton
cords is the greatest enemy of tire life. These men will not risk their
lives on any but Firestone Tires, because they know the high stretch
cords in every Firestone Tire are protected by the Firestone patented
process of Gum-Dipping.
Gum-Dipping soaks the high stretch cords in liquid rubber and
saturates and coats the millions of fibers inside the cords, counteracting
destructive friction and heat. It provides greater adhesion between the
plies of the tire, and between the Gum-Dipped cord body and the tread. I
Firestone chemists and engineers kept pace with new car 1
developments by building stronger, safer tires to meet the exacting
demands. See your Firestone Dealer or Service Store today and equip
your car with new Firestone High Speed Tires for 1934, with deeper,
thicker, flatter, and wider non-skid tread, more and tougher rubber, more
traction, giving you more than 50% longer non-skid mileage.
Remember, in Firestone High Speed Tires there is Greater Strength
?Greater Safety?end Greater Blowout Protection than in any tire made.
