The Orcgonian refers to those who

sheep and says the problem Is, "how
. to get these stray sheep back Into the
fold." . . rect primary law was enacted, but
The answer to tbls question Is very many of us did not realize it for some
simple indeed. Let the "fold" rid it- time, and there are a great number

Mr. Neuhousen is a man of affairs and
porter, be was assigned to report a
speaking tour with Blaine:
"For a young correspondent who
had an. eager curiosity about life, It
was an Interesting experience to go

for a little while the expression of a
mild happiness, maybe a solace. Wil

him without ceremony, and talk to
him as though he were nobody.'
"With my Interest In the tariff
question, which then seemed to me
so fundamental, I did not lose the op
portunity to ask Mr. Blaine about bis
reciprocity project; but after a while
tbe conversation turned to more per
sonal subjects. When he learned I
was from Ohio, he asked me sudden
ly If I could name tbe counties that
formed the several congressional dis
tricts of the state. I could, not, of
course, do that, and I supposed no
one In the world could do It or ever
went to do it; but be could, and with
a naive pride In the accomplishment
he did, and then astounded me by
saying that he could almost match the
feat with any state In the union."
HW IT FEELS IH A BALLOON
FOCB MILES UP IS THE AIR.
' In the February American 'Maga
zine Augustus Post, writing tbe "Ex
periences of an Airman," tells as fol
lows how It feels to be up In the air
four miles in a balloon:,
"Mr. Harmon and I made the Amer
ican duration record, 48 hours and
26 minutes, or more than two days
In the air, I must turn aside to speak
of this trip, for on this occasion we
bad sailed all over the central .west.
Arkansas, Indian Territory, and "the
'Houn' Dawg state,1 as anyone would
recognize who had had occasion ' to
learn how far the real animal's voice
can penetrate, especially upward to
a balloon blgh bove the clouds. Dur
ing this trip Mr. Hrmon. and I reach
ed very high altitudes. We' estab
lished the' American record for .alti
tude, and reached a point considera
bly over four miles above the surface
of the earth, our Instruments regis
tering, 24,200 feet -according to wt
measurements. At this great height'
our sensations were of a different na
ture .from anything ever experienced
on earth. The air la very rare, only
about one half tbe density ot mat on
the "surface of the earth and conse
quently you feel a great relief of
pressure, and while sitting still, "as
Is necessary In a balloon basket,' you
feel light as a feather, and as If you
had no body at all. Your breathing is
almost twice as rapid as on the earth,
for you must get double the volume
of air for an amount of oxygen equal
to what you are accustomed to. Of
rourse, If you did any physlcirl-woik
such as mountain climbers do, you
would soon be completely exhausted.
You sit like a majestic condor peace
fully in your basket, looking about
and gazing down below on the great
earth, stretched far beneath you, hazy
and dim. sometimes hardly dlsrln
tulaltable for the thin stratum of cir
rus clouds which at different eleva
tions slightly veil the distinctness of
the far-stretching earth below.
"Below you, when the mists and
liberty scarfs' that veil the face of
he earth thin away, you could see at
Ills great ..height, not the mere seven

VOCATIONAL TXAINIKO.
Vocational training in connection
with the city schools is coming In.
novation in the educational system of
this country. Its unusual use may
not occur for some time but it is on
tbe way, as indicated. by the Interest
which bas been manifested In many
American cities by educators, social
workers and business organizations.
Illinois bas secured an early start to
ward tbe Introduction of vocational
training, or tbe continuation school,
through tbe enterprise of Its chief
commercial organization In sending
an educator to Germany to make an
extensive study ot tbe German system
With his report as a basis, a bill Is to
be presented to tbe Illinois legisla
ture at the next session for the es
tablishment of vocational training in
the state.
Vocational training Is a many-sided
proposition, as bas been learned in
the countries where it exists in var
ied forms. It concerns the educators
because" It Is related closely to the
training of the child; it affects social
workers because Its application Is an
imcucy jo increase, the. number of
skilled workers and consequently has
a tendency to raise the standard of
living; it touches business men be-l
cause it alms to encourage , Industry'
and skilled mechanical knowledi tn1
Ibe youth of the country, thereby en-j
Urging the productive power of the
people as a whole and increasing the
opportunities for commercial and
manufacturing development.'
It has been found advisable by the
state superintendent of education In
Michigan to Include a course of agri
cultural study In the work of the
eighth grade students In the rural
schools this year. It Is assumed thai
the Introduction of this course is
merely a start, toward , the develop
ment of a scientific knowledge of ag
riculture In the country districts.
The. Introduction of the ' course Is
highly commendable and' will serve a
useful purpose. But the children of
the rural ' districts are not alone In
their lack of practical education of a
commercial value There are' thous
ands of boys In the city schools whc.
leave the school to enter the factory
They are not especially fitted for the
work at the time they start. Is It not
reasonable to believe that vocational
training, conducted under competent
supervisors in some of our indiistria'
Institutions, will bring to the city boy
the same good results from technics"
knowledge along lines aa are sure t(
follow tbe scientific study of agrlcul-;
ure In the rural school? I
H may be of doubtful advisability'
In the minds ot some to introduce
commercialism and inrfustrlal'sm bo'
early In the life of a child. But this
Is a commercial age, and If the boy
and girl do not learn this fnrt at
school they are brought to a quick
realization of It when they enter bus-!
Iness life. The whole question Is to
determine whether or not It Is advis-j
able to substitute In the education of
a certain proportion of the children a;
practical training of acknowledged
commercial value for a training In
subjects which are of little use to
them.
TEA
This can always be depended upon to
brinz bak the natural color and lus--TP
of your hair and Is the best thing
known to remove dandruff, stop scalp
tirhlng and falling balr.
Everybody chooses "Wyetb's" Sage
and Sulphur because It darkens so
naturally and evenly that nobody can
tell It has been applied. You simply
dampen a sponge or soft brush and
draw this through the hair, taking one
smal strand at a time which requires
but a few moments. Do this at night
and by morning the gray hair his dis
appeared and after another applica
tion It becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy, lustrous and abund
ant. It certufinly helps folks look
years younger and twke as attractive
says a well known down town drug
gist.
