BUBAR BROS., :: Gifts That Last.
Car Overturns,
No One Injured
Enoute to Rowburg shortly after
noon yesterday, Aaron Swanaon and
wife, of Elgarose, met with a mtahup
while descending the grade just west
of MelroHe, when their auto wnt off
the road Into a barbed wire fence
and turned turtle. The nped couple
were not hurt, save ft few minor
scratches sustained on the hands of
Mr. Swanson, and although Mrs.
Swan son was pinned underneath the
overturned Ford she escaped miracu
lously. V. 8. Woodruff and wife,
with a neighbor, were enroute to
town and came upon the scene of the
accident shortly after the car over
turned. The men lifted the machine
and allowed the lady to escape from
her uncomfortable position. The top
of the car was demolished and the
windshield broken Into atoms.

"Itoseburg U lugging In her Red
Cross membership campaign," said
C. S. Helpline, secretary of the local
chapter. "Because the war is over
all of the activities of the lied Cross
throughout the world have not been
brought to a close. In fact there are
demands upon us from various
sources which never have heretofore
called upon the Ked Cross. Disaster
and relief calls reach Ked Cross
headquarters 365 days In the year
and everyone of these calls meet
with Instant assistance. Do you real
Ize that the money that is contrib
uted In Douglas county is spent for
the Immediate relief among the In
habitants of Host' burg and Douglas
county?
"Your annual membership duel
are 11, and 50 cents or tins dollar
remains permanently in the hands of
the local lied Cross committee and
is expended under the direction of
the Douglas county executive committee.
"In the last year calls for assist
ance were received from nearly every
part of the county and In each and
every Instance relief was forthcom
ing. Over $1500 was expended last
year during the influenza epidemic,
in the employment of nurses, and the
purchase of supplies, clothing, medi
cine and in placing these sick people
whom misfortune had suddenly over
taken, In a position to again care for
their own people and themselves. Uy
renewing your membership it saves
the old familiar habit of "passing the
hat" every time a cose of sickness or
distress is reported.
"This fund acta as a war chest
community fund, and your dollar
paid to the local solicitor who will
call upon you, gives you. an active
part In this big work which must be
continued.
"There has lately been employed a
public health instruction nurse who
has been holding classes in every
part of the county. This work has
been temporarily suspended because
the nurse was called awuy from her
work on account of illness In her
immediate family.
This public health Instruction
work will again be taken up the first
of the year when Ked Cross head
quarters Can find a competent per
son to carry on this county-wide ac
tivity. It is the purpose of the Doug
las counly executive committee to
continue this work until every ham
let In the county, where a half dozen
people can gather together, and give
them the benefit of this work.
B. V. Strong, as counly chair
man, most urgently urges each and
pvery canvasser heretofore appoint
ed to thoroughly canvass the terrl-
ly which has been assigned to
them. Ho slates that It Is absolutely
Imperative that this fund be main
tained or (he work which has be;
accomplished ill the past year, and
which has been planned to be con
tinued, will have to be stopped for
the want of funds.

dinner In FIJI Is a frrnnri affair, and
all the guests Rive a hand in feeding
the oven or stirring the pot. A floor
of clean leaves Is covered with coco
nuts, on which are heaped baked taro
and yn ins like a Inrjre potato to the
amount of several tons. The next tier
comprises a weM oiled "pudding In
green leaves" called "vakalolo." linked
turtles are next heaped on top of these
puddings or two or three hogs baked
whole.
At one public dinner In Fiji there
were fifty tons of yams, fifteen tons of
vakalolo pud'llngs, seventy turtles, ftve
carloads of yaguna and UOO tons of un
cooked yams.

It Is now possible to pick up a wire

tions within reasonable distance In
this country with the aid of nu onlln
ury umbrella, a patent pocketbook and
a telephone.
The umbrella will act as the aerial,
the pocketbook contains a miniature

phone must he a high-resistance In

of the ocket receiving set say, to-use

Vou must not expect with this sim
ple Installation to get in wireless

but if you wunt the mild excitement
of picking up messages from a home

must follow these directions:
Take your umbrella with you and
the pocketbook, select a nice lofly po
sition, and having eurthed one coruer
of the pocketbook say to a wuter
pipe or something equally damp and
hunily, bold your umbrella out at
arm's length. There should also be a

convenient to use the headgear worn
by telephone operators.
Having rigged yourself oat as a hu

do Is to listen. You will be as a rock

of understanding running down the

It Is claimed for this pocket receiv

elaborate tuner on the market.
The cost of the pocketbook Is about

RETURN AFTER MANY YEARS
Tilefish Again Caught In Vast Num.
bers, Though They Were Believed
to Have Been Wiped Out
Tilefish are n fish wllh a short but
remarkable history, writes a corre
spondent. Their discovery was dra-
mntlc. In May, 1879, Captain Kirby
of the schooner Iltitchlngs, out of
filoucester, Mass., was trawling for
cod off the Nantucket hnnks. No cod
was found, but a large nsh, unknown
to science, was present In great num
bers. In a very short time 5.000 pounds
of the new species were caught. The
fish proved to be of high food value
and good keeping qualities. There was
a big popular demnnd for them, and
huge quantities were caught for three
.veal's. Then the supply failed as sud
denly ns It had appeared. In the
spring of 1SS2 the boats failed to
catch a single tilefish. A few days
Inter Incoming boats reported having
pnssed through miles of dead or dying
tilefish. They covered an area of 5.000
square miles, and were estimated to
number 1.000,000.000.
From 1SS2 to 1015 no trace of tile
fish vas found In any waters of the
world, adds our correspondent. Scien
tific men were convinced that the fish
hud been sirddenly and mysteriously
exterminated. Then, early In 1015. a
government boat. In almost the Identi
cal spot off the Nantucket hnnks as
that In which tilefish were first taken,
ngnln caught some of the Bnme species.
Aguln there proved to be vast num
bers of them, and new grounds were
also discovered along the New Jersey
coast. Since then the tilefish has been
caught without interruption, but the
riddle of Its strange disappearance fur
H.1 years has not jet been solved.

New Meaning of "Intrigue."
The latest verbal Importation from
France that I have had occasion to re
mark Is no more 'than the conferring
of a new meaning upon an old word.
In Knglisli "to Intrigue" has always
meant to plot surreptitiously, whereas
In French it was always used (by ex
tension) to Indicate the state of puz
zled doubt In which we mny find our
selves when we have reason to suspect
sum ptlilous plot; and this sec
ondary French meaning Is now pass
ing over Into Fnu-llsh, so that we mav
read In the light stories that run
tbrouh our magazines, "she Intrigued
me," meaning that she nuzzled me. nnd
ll"t meaning tln.t she Involved nu In j
in Intrigue. This Chill. e secondary 1
niennlug will probably force Itself Into
our yielding Anglo-Saxon, and we shall ',
have hereafter the privilege of em-i
ploying "to Intrigue" In either of two
different llltrnts. I doubt If this will
he to the profit of the language; but.
protest Is idle, since the fate of a nov-'
dry always depends upon Its ultimate
usefulness. Hrnniler Matthews In
