'Periscope Stowaway Discovered Aboard Princess Matoika WHY? Are Some Pencils Soft and Oth - - 1 crs Hard?; (Copyright. 19. by The .'flfoeeler Syndicate,. Iso,) . In the manufacture: of lead pen cils, a special -gratfe of fine clay is mixedwith particle's of graphite,: after both substances havebe'een' thoroughly pulverized.' The pro portions of this mixture deter mine the relatu-e '.'hardness" or "softness" of the? jpericil. ;itself a preponderance' of clay produc ing the hard variety. and an extra amount of graphit" making the lead soft In addition, the hardness or softness of the pencil is also de termined by operations which fol low this mixing. The lead has to be compressed and moulded iii order that iMnay fit the opening in the wood or other substance which is to encase it The great er the pressure upon the clay-and-graphite mixture, the harder the icad, because the particles are fus ed together between dies cut from mineral substances, and therefore wear away less rapidly under the friction of writing than do the ti f. M - souer or less compact leads. ,soit pencil usually carries a d consirlerahtv thirlrrr than hard pencil becfjse the very mix ture of the soft Compound renders it more litble to breakage, andsat the same time, the user of a pencil of this kind desires a broad thick' line, rather than one which is thin and welt defined.

Chiracs Tribune-Omaha Bm Imm4 Wirt Washinton, Oct. 26. A. Law rence Lowell, president ofHarvard college, replying to a recent letter from Gordon Woodbury, , assistant secretary of the navy, severely criti cising him for an alleged' change of front on the league of nations, as demonstrated by his signature to the statement signed Iky 31. prominent Americans," pledging support to Sen ator Harding, insists that he still favors the league and hopes that the country will go' into it after Hard ing's election. "You are,"- wrote President Low ell, "quite mistaken ' in charging to me a change of opinion on the sub ject of the league. I am still in fa vor of the league, and 1 hope and believe that after Mr. Harding is elected which seems inevitable this country will go into the league. The statement of the 31 republicans says the same thing. I have never thought the league, arit stands, per fect In my joint debate with Sena tor Lodge I urged that it was im perfect and needed improvement. I am on record last March as saying that article 10 was fundamentally wrong, and I think so still. "You say that the statement that Mr. Wilson refused to accept these modifications and insisted upon tne agreement absolutely unchanged is utterly false. Perhaps it could be better expressed,; but it surely is not utterly . false, because the point is. mat ne reiusea to accept mq reser vations which would have made it possible to have the treaty ratified." Reolving to this letter. Secretary Woodbury said he still . could, not understand how President toweu could reconcile his present position with, that he took in his debate with Senator Lodge last spring, wherrjie defended the league.

Prices of , cloth ing materials are preparing for a parachute drop. Several textile mills in New England today put into ef fect h reduction in wages of 15 to 20 per tint. ' '- ' ; ' The cuts were recently accepted by the employes in order to keep at work. Ihe refusal of the purchas ing public to buy, at high prices,-and the wholesale cancellation of orders closed up some of the mills, reduced others to part time, tossed the whole industry into stagnation and left the Avorkets with high wage scales, but no jobs. In many instances the 15 per .cent cut wipes out a 15 per cent raise the workers received last July, when the' mills were going at top speed on unfilled orders., . On the heels of the wage cuts at the mills, Hart Schaffner & Marx, clothing" makers, issued an an nouncement advising the trade to defer placing its spring orders until the fabric market has reached more definite levels.

Volls of railroad workmen 'and reports made o Harding headquarters by special scouts show that the vote of the Brotherhoods is not going solidly for Governor1 Cox as has been -predicted by the democratic managers, but that Senator Harding will receive al most an even break. 'As this railroad, vote is counted at about 2,000,000 this information, although it must be discounted slightly as partisan, still is signifi cant of the itrend of events and forecasts the election of Senator Harding next Tuesday. ., ', The Ohio polls among the rail road men show about 30-70 in favor of Cox. hut outside tlfe state it is a little better from a republican stand point. " When the campaign"' started it was .asserted by .President Gomp ers of the American Federation of Labor, and assumed as true in many, quarters, that the railroad men were a unit against the Cummins-Esch bill and would so record themselves at the polls because Senator Hard ing had supported that bill.
