There hasn't been a fire in Washington now for several
weeks, hut if thefe were another, and Dolly and Alice were
among the guests, who would jump first?

Vor those who are dubious of the effects of the long skirts,
esthctically, an Omaha surgeon has come forward and ad
vised the girls to put their feet right up on the office desk.
The machine ago creates new problems in morality be
cause so many mistake the still, small voice of conscience for
another body squeak.
In the new soviet calendar there are months with mon
ickers like Hammer, Sickle and Sheaf. Ifow about Bill for
January and Lawn Mower for July?
A gold rush resulted in Ontario when a nugget was found
in the crop of a turkey. Personally, we would rather wait
until this year's turkeys are about two months old before
staging a rush to the Arctic.
GREED THE MOTIVE
Certain people who scoff at the religion of the ancients
would rearrange the scheme of society and do away with
private ownership. Their theory is that all properties should
be held in common, that thp abilities of all should be pooled
and the earnings of all used to benefit all. .
Critjcs of the scheme point to the fact that man' is selfish
and lazy, and assert that nothing less than the hope of a
nelfish and personal profit could inspire him to exert him
self. They argue, moreover, that sponsors of the scheme
are. inspired solely by a desire to get something they have
failed to earn in competition with their fellow men that
their motive is greed, and therefore no more worthy than
the motive of any hard-boiled and selfish go-getter,
i It is a very good scheme, as anybody can sec. All that is
required to make it a complete and everlasting success is a
world full of people wholly unselfish people who prefer to
work for the other fellow's good rather than for their own
people who will deny themselves rather than see another in
want.
; SucK socialistic and Utopian schemes can not work if the
desire to get is their inspiration. They can not fail if their
inspiration is the desire to give. Hut if everybody possessed
this desire to help others there would be no need for such
schemes.
And dreamy-eyed visionaries who sponsor such idealistic
theories' can not plead that the world has never given them
a fair trial. Thousands of socialistic communities have been
founded without one of them surviving the generation of
the founders, and when the time of dissolution arrived there
were always a few who had cornered the wealth of the community.

Moisture Than in VJ2V.
"We need more snow in the
mountains." '
; That is a remark heard often
In La Grande at pr.-sent. but as a
matter of fact, there is plenty of j
snow In the mountains at least !
in th higher sections, according
to renorts from Wallowa couniv.
Far more moisture lies on the
mountains around Aneroid lake j
this vear than last year at a cor- ;
responding date, the Knterprlse
Record-Chieftain says. This was j
the discovery made lust week by j
Watemi'aster K. W. Farn-swnrth :
who made measurements in the ,
Aneroid basin. He was aecorn- ;
panied by Charles Seeber and thiy j
made, the trip on snowshoes. and
found it very hard traveling as the .
snow was so light it would not t
hold them up.
.Measurements were taken at i
ten points January 1 I'.iJ'J. and at j
the same places January -1', 11' 3d. :
Average depth of snow was II j
inches in lUW and rs.5 Inches in j
130. Density was IS per cent ht -t
year and 25.5 this year. This'
showed a greater dpt,;: of snow 1
and greater moisture content, in-!
