Republicans, as well as Democrats in this county well remember that two ~years ago, when a fight was brewing over the selection of c~ndidates from the city and county, t at Mr. Booth promptly withdrew in favor of Dr. c. F. Westphal, of Magt na. This action put Senator Wes phal over in short order. Mr. Booth has not made any statements relative to his position this election and first notice of his name being mentioned was rea d b Y hi mself in the Tribune yesterday. He can be prevailed upon, however, to .r accept the position, if nominated and f~rthebrmore, vhotersf. wdill seahrch.ta long tlme efore t ey m sue sm able timber for the llenate. We take no chance in voting for J. Wilmer Booth. He has proven his metal on numerous occasions in the pl:I.M. He was a member of the legislature in 1923 and attracted favorable comment from all quarters on his business like way of handling the business of legislation. He has a world of experience back of him. He has that invaluable power of quickly analyzing a proposal from all angles and arriving at the reason for the proposed move without undue delay. As stated by the Salt Lake Tribunf' "It was generally agreed that Mr. Booth is not a contender who could be treated lightly by the others who are hoping to sit in the senate when the legislature meets in January. CUT OUT THE "CUT OUT" prowlers are forcing upon public some more of their un· necessary pranks via the auto luxury. Nightly they speed up and down the streets of the city with the "cut out" open, making noise enough to wake the dead. There is a law against such practice. Most of us have to work for our living and in order to meet and greet competition in this day and age, we must get our quota of peaceful sleep at night-time. · How can it be done with backfiring of motors ringing clear in the night air from an unmuffled motor. There should be a law providing a ~enalty for the man who installs a "cut out" on a motor car as well as for the user thereof. Automobiles do not come equipped with cutouts now a days and why thP younger generation should insist upon i~proving on the car as soon as they pe>ssess, is one of those unsolved mysteries. The Journal has received several telephone calls during the past few weeks complaining about the "cut out" evil. We therefore suggest that proper authorities take action at once to "cut out" the cut out. MIDVALE IN SECOND GAME Murray wins from Midvale in a game featured by the excellent pitching of Stauffer and the hitting of Watts, Stauffer and Atwood.

COLE temperature of the body, the water will require a little more than thirty minutes to acquire the same temperature. . This means that the water has absorbed more than thirty times as much heat as the quicksilver. And this also means that this pound of water can give off more than thirty times as much heat as the pound of quicksilver. Then to do the work of the twelve or fifteen pounds of blood in the body of an ordinary-sized man would require nearly thirty times this weight of quicksilver, or nearly three hundred sixty to four hundred fifty pounds. No man could even stagger under the quicksilver necessary to carry through his bloodvessels the heat for his bodily needs. The blood has still another quality that adds to its efficiency in keeping the body warmed evenly. Two bodies, even if one of thep1 be w.ater, will generate heat if they strike each other "forcefully, either in direct blows or in friction. If the water contains solid particles, their striking will add to the heat. The friction of the solid particles of blood against the sides of the arteries and veins makes it into a sort of superheater. And then again, if the speed of the blo11d is increased in answer to a hurry-up call for heat, the heat, according to a law of nature, increases far faster than the speed. For instance, twice the ordinary speed means four times the ordinary heat; three times the ordinary speed gives nine times the ordinary heat. A superheater indeed!
