who died in a Baltimore hohpital on
August Ki, ttiwi known as the wealthiest
independent oil operator in the
world, left an estate valued at between
$75,000,000 and $100,000,000,

Most of his operations were in
the southwest.
11 YEARS CONSTIPATION"
GLYCERIN MIX ENDS IT.
"For 1 1 years J tried to get rid of
constipation," says ('has. K. Blair.
"Then at last the simple mixture,
Adlerika, made me regular."
The simple mixture of glycerin,
buckthorn hark, saline, etc., (Adlerika)
acts on BOTH upper and lower
bowel, relieving constipation in two
hours! Brings out poisons you never
thought were in your system. Ia-1

bureau who lias devoted years of careful
observation Iti the same vault to
determine the weight <?f the earth.
The new task is expected to require
several years and to provide a new
standard for gravity measurements
over the t'niied States.
The constant now In use was est ah
llshed at Potsdam, Germany, more
than, twenty five years ago after eight
years of ineasurements with extremely
delicate Instruments to ascertain as
precisely as possible at that time the
rate of acceleration of a falling body
under the pull of gravity. The Get*
man physicists concluded that a full
ing body at sen level at the Kquator
would be ueeelerated 32.0S7fi feet a
second In a vacuum. That, applied
with a mathematical formula, became,
and still is, the standard of comparison
to measure the distance of any
spot from the center of the earth, hut
time has passed, knowledge bus Increased
and Instruments have been
Improved.
Precision Is Requirement.
The difficulty of the new undertaking
lies principally In the requirement
for precision within an extremely
minute rage of probable error. Tf it
were not for that the skill of the
laboratory would not he needed, for
the work, on its face, Is little more
than a matter of letting pendulums
swing In a vacuum. Gravity makes a
pendulum swing. The speed of the
swings In a vacuum depends on the
length of the pendulum and Its distance
from the center of the earth,
where the mass of the planet. In its
gravitational effect, acts as if it were
concent rated.
The constant of gravity at any point
can ho determined by measuring precisely
the length and speed of a swinging
pendulum In a vacuum. The

Increasing two-millionths of a foot a
second for each 1,000 feet above sea

with such pendulums the scientists
are aide to build up a comprehensive
picture of the elevations and depres
slons which characterize the earth's
surface and thus visualize its actual
shape.

ergs to lift a thirtieth of an ounce
half uu Inch.
l?r, Charles ft heard, director of
physics and biophysical research of
the Mayo foundation at Rochester,
Minn., mude these revelations of minute
quantities before the American
Optometrist association In convention
here.
Llka s Radio Receiver.
"The retina of the .eye," he said, 'Ms
one of the most sensitive energy receivers
and detectors known. It may
he thought of an a radio receiver, althought
it does not respond to stimulation
by ordinary waves, for it is
a very selective set and Is tuned to
radiant energy of wave lengths within
a single octave, lying between four
and eight ten-mllJlSnths of a meter
or yard. These waves, (Ike radio
waves, travel at a speed of 180,000
miles a second and are the shorter
sisters of the much taller ones we
have christened radio.
"The sensitivity of the eye is extraordinary.
Employing the Einstein
equation of the energy required to
cause the expansion of a single electron
with a ray of green light, we
may conclude that a single energy
quantum for green light is sufficient
to excite vision.
"This is saying that the liberation
of a single electron in the retina by
a green or blue light can excite the
sensation of vision in the brain. A
millionth of a millionth of an erg per
second is the energy or power necessary
for vision.
Millionth of a Millionth.
"Since it requires the millionth part
of the millionth of an erg to cause the
emission of one electron at the retina
and thus to set up the sensation of
vision, then we know that if -these
thousand ergs to which we have referred
could be used up at the rate of
a millionth part of the millionth of an
erg and if there were no dissipation or
loss of energy an eye would have
something of the order of a million I
years of vision. Indeed, It seems al- !
most incredible and inconceivable.
"But the millionth of a millionth of
an erg Is a mighty small amount, of
energy. No more startling, however,
than the statement made by an American
Nobel prize winner in physics,
when he says that the number of
electrons contained in the quantity of
electricity which courses through an
ordinary incandescent lamp and for
which oijp should pay, If such were
possible, one hundred thousandth of
a cent is so large that if all of ttie
several million inhabitants of Chicago
were to begin to count out these electrons
and wore to keep counting them
at (lie rate of two a second, and if
none of them were ever to stop, sleep,
or die, It would take them Just 20,000
years to finish the task."
Old-Fashioned Thrift
Staging Big Comeback
Chicago.?IMain. old-fashioned thriftlness
is staging a lug comeback In the

The present year will see all previous
records for efficient spending by
housewives eclipsed hands down, according

pioneer worker In the drafting of
America's pure food and drug laws.
"Reasons for the present trend toward
careful consideration of the pennies
are sound and have little relation
to paper losses In Wall- Street." declared
Doctor Barnard, in an address
here. "The modern woman has learned
business methods and she Is merely
putting her knowledge to use. Wasting
dollars isn't good form. An so
millions of mothers in well-organlted

0. Frank Hart
Again Honored
Columbia. S. C., Aug. 21.?<Q.
Frank Hart, until recently general
grand maater of the general grand
council, Royal and Select Master# of
Masonry, was yesterday elected general
grand recorder of the organization,
according to a telegram received
in fkAumbia yesterday from
Tacoma, Wanh., where "there is being
held a meeting of the general
grand chapters, Koyal Arch Masons,
and the general grand^council of
Koyal and Select Masters,
The term of office is for three
years and the election of Mr, Hart
to this important post is further recognition
of his long service to Masonry
and his faitiifnl and meritorious j
discharge of the duties of the offices ,
he has held.
The election means that the office i
of general grand recorders will be
in Columbia and that the headquarters
of the general grand council for
the United States, numbering nearly
a million persons, will, be in this
city.
The,' organization was founded in |
August, 1880, and since that time!
there have been but three general ,
grand recorders. George W. Oooley
of Minnesota was the first to hold j
this office; he was succeeded by Ben
F. Hallar of Tennessee, who served
until 1883. Next was Henry W.
Mordhurst, of Indiana, who served
from 1886 until his death in October
1028, 'when John Lee of Sumter was
appointed to fill out the term.
Mr. Hart was elected yesterday at
the beginning of the new term and
now holds the office.
Attention, Voters!
I wish to thank the voters of Kershaw
county for the support they
gave me in the race for auditor. Ah
though I am defeated I am happy to
know that I have many friends who
wished me well. I am not wearing a
long face because of my defeat, but
a smile to prove my appreciation for
the encouragement given me. Owing
to the fact that my opponents were
older and stronger because of their
long business experience, and realizing
that I was not as well known as
either because of these facts, I con- '
sider I made a splendid run. Therefore,
I am not discouraged, and
should I be spared four years from
now I will again come before you as
a candidate fo? auditor. I wish it was
my privilege to thank each voter personally,
but since this is impossible,
I assure each of you that the support
you gave me is highly appreciated.1
And again I thank you, one and all. j
