Test Einstein Theory
On Poor Little “Pup”
PASADENA, Nov. 27 (£>)—'The Ein
stein thedry has. been tried on the
“pup” and it has made good.
With the aid of the Dog Star Sirius,
and its celestial but invisible “pup,”
Dr. Walter S. Adams, director of the
Mount Wilson observatory said that
one of the bases of Einstein’s propo
sition which says that light has mass
and is subject to gravitational attrac
tion has been further substantiated.
Sirius' companion is said to have
so great a density that a pint of this
substance would weigh 25 tons on
the earth. With such density goes
exceptional gravitational pull, says the
scientists, and Dr. Adams’ experiments
established the fact that the sun’s
rays in traveling past this start were
bent by the heavy drag.
The conclusion reached was that
light is not illuminated nothingness,
but that it has mass and that being
the case it is prone to be attracted
or repelled by certain forces, notably
that of gravitation.
Charged with beating his wife, P.
Salo was sentenced to spend ten days
in the Cordova jail by Commissioner
Boyer. The charge was assault and
battery.
Four Greeks were fined for gamb
ling at Cordova recently, Angelos Pop
pas, proprietor of Travellers’ Hall
was fined $20 while the rest of the
men received a fine of $5 each.

May Make Synthetic
Board Out of Water
TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 27. (TP)—
A synthetic board, non-inflammable
and resisting heat and cold, may
soon be manufactured from sawdust.
A group of lumber men here be
came interested in the possibilities
of the product, after a demonstra
tion proved that the synthetic board
would withstand a flame that would
cut through steel. Sawdust and
other mill waste are treated with
chemicals and made into a pulp.
The pulp then is pressed into boards
of any size.
Lumber men behind the project
believe that it will make possible
fireproof huses of wood.

If You Are Doing Business
With Mail Order Concerns
If you are sending your cash out of town—doing business
with mail order concerns—keep mum about the growth—the indus
tries—-the advantages or beauty of the town. You have no boast coming. It
is a good town not because of you, but in spite of you,
If you are not a Hone Trader Ycu are a
Traitor to the Best Interests of the Town
This community is made up of individuals. Its prosperity
depends on individual effort, if you send your money away for goods
that can be purchased here, you injure the town—and yourself
When you buy from a mail order concern—your money is
gone for good. Not one red cent of it ever comes back. None of
it pays for taxes. None of it pays store rent, clerk hire—or does a blessed
one of the dozens of things accomplished by home-spent money.
Suppose everyone in this city sent away for their mer
chandise. The town would go to rack and ruin. You wouldn’t be
able to give property away. There would be little employment for labor.
Schools—churches—everything of a public nature would be stripped to poor
house poverty. There’s no reason why anyone should deal with mail order
concerns. Your home town merchant carries the best grades of merchandise
on the market. They are goods of recognized merit. They are sold at
practically one price the world over. You know you are getting full value in
quality. The biggest manufacturers in the country insure that with their
trademarks. Your purchases are protected. There is no buying dissatisfaction
—long waits—long distance return costs—or delivery charges.
Your dealer appreciates your patronage. " He puts forth
every effort to hold your trade. He becomes intimately acquainted
with your likes and dislikes—consequently can serve you in the most satisfac
tory manner. And to top off all of these important advantages—your local
merchant can save you money. i
By all means talk up your town—but first win the right to
speak by spending your money at home. It is the solid worth of home
spent money —not words that establishes the public wealth and welfare
of the community. * . ,
Donate to the good of the town by trading IN town—and get the greatest value for your dollars.
