The riddle of the creation of matter out in the empty "void" of epace was given a new, authoritative answer tonight by Professor William D. Harklns of the University of Chicago. He filled space partly with a new kind of matter discovered this year in the neutron, a particle more tiny than electrons or protons, some' thing tangible enough to be built up by creative forces. Dr. Harklns speaks with authority because he Is one of two scientists who 10 years ago predicted that some day man would discovery the very which has brought to light photographically early this year at Cambridge, England.

F. G. McCue Recover Diamond To Have Been Highwayman Seeks To Ring Said Taken By CHIEFS TO ENDORSE OFFICE HUNTERS (Continued from Page One) will convene In January Is the rightful share of this county and that many deserving Mercer Democrats will receive the endorsements. The promised to appoint only those nominated by the committee. Quite a number are active candidates for these positions this year.

It is understood that the clerkships pay 110 per day tor the duration of the session which in all likelihood will continue beyond its limitation either by extra or special session. There are a few county appointments open tor the county court to make and for these also the committee plans to recommendations on Monday. Road supervisors, poor farm attendant and several others, including a newly created position at matron of the county Jail. For several years welfare societies have insisted that some woman should be put in charge of the women prisoners and there is a possibility that the committee will make such a recommendation to the county court naming the woman for the place. Many other candidates for state Jobs will be seeking favorable action, but It is predicted that the committee will not endorse those candidates that have very little chance of gaining appointment.

To appear to the state organization as wishing to grab all the jobs would Injure the opportunities of the candidates who have a reasonable chance of success, Mercer county can only get a few and the commltt- tee Is said to be of tho opinion that it would be foolish to ask more than a reasonable share.

Under the heading "We Have Just Began To Fight," the allied forces tonight issued a statement saying "we believe that the enghteentb amendment, or the caujse tor which it stands, cen he saved and advanced without a subversive policy." "Unmistakably the recent elections bring to the cause of national prohibition a new occasion," said the statement released by Dr.

Daniel A. Poling. "The national administration aside, dry stalwarts of a generation have been defeated and nine states have, by overwhelming popular vote, repealed the'r enforcement laws, while two others voted to petition congress for repeal of the eighteenth amendment. "But recognition ot these facts baa for us no bugle of retreat. There are other facts thai these other facts will more and moie emerge time passes and our opponents begin to administer their real or fancied triumph." Drys were urged to unite in a fight on any bill providing for legalization of beer or tor repeal of the eighteenth amendment in the short sessions of congress.

Pointing to opposition claims that the recent election was a mandate from the people to repeal the eighteenth amendment, the statement said that if that were so "then certainly there is a mandate equally binding to keep out the jsaloon and to protect dry territory."
