Too Soon A distinguished writer in the east is at work upon the maps of Europe and Asia as they will be after the war is closed and the settlement made. He pictures the ships of Russia, the warships coming and going without hindrance through the Hellespont, Armenia a state of Russia; Turkey in Europe, in form of an independent state, but in truth a dependency of Russia; Hungary and the Balkan states an independent power under the pro tection of the sirrounding powers, Poland an independent power under like protection, Belgium an indepen dent power with an annual indemnity from Germany for many years to come; Germany and Austria united under the rule of a Reichstag made up of delegates from all the states and one of the Hohenzollerns as Emperor; Great Britain given all Egypt and the Holy Land, and all the former pos sessions of Germany in East Africa; Italy with a slice of territory from Southern Austria added. The writer is premature in his work. When the war began it waB the dream of Germany to command the ports on the North, the Baltic, the Adriatic and Mediterranean seas and through them them the world’s com merce. It was Great Britain’s dream to capture or destroy the German navy and win back such of the world’s trade as she had lost. Those dreams possess both powers still and unless a world's congress intervenes and makes some new rules for the government of nations, there will be no sign of peace for a good while yet. Many more battles will be fought, and the final settlement will come not from the ex haustion of the armies, but of the peo ple behind the aumies. What lesson was meant for the nations when the wat was permitted to be launched upon the world is not yet revealed.—Goodwin's Weekly. Rich Rancher Crushed To Death Under Auto The Dalles, Or. Aug. 15.—Peter Godfrey, one of the most prominent ranchers in Wasco county, was fatally hurt in an automobile accident this morning and died within 20 minutes. Alone in his machine, Mr. Godfrey was drivingjnear his home five miles south of this city. He evidently lost conttol of the automobile and it went off the grade, turned over and landed on top of him. He never regained consciousness. No one witnessed the accident. Ira Waterman, a rancher who was working a short distance from the scene of the accident, heard the sound of a motor for so long a time tn the same place that be investi gated, and found the dying man pinned beneath his own car. Film Picture Freak«. Freak pictures are usually the result of clever manipulation of the camera or the tlliu. Articles or individuals can be made to Instantly disappear by stop ping the camera while the article is removed or the person walks off the stage, the other characters holding their pose until the camera Is again put in motion. In some films in which a person is thrown from a height or is apparently crushed under u steam roller the effect Is gained by the live person walking away after the camera is stopped and a dummy substituted to undergo the death penalty. By projecting the picture nt n faster rate than it was taken excruciating comic scenes are sometimes devised. Au automobile going ten miles an hour by speeding up the projection machine mny be made to apparently move at 100 miles an hour, and by Increasing the same way tile apparent speed of persons dodging the demoniac auto ex cecdlngly ludicrous effects are bad. By mechanical means in combining two or more negatives into one posi tive a man can be shown fencing with himself or even cutting his own head off.—Philadelphia Press. Gold In Carats. We often hear people in speaking of their watches say, “It Is an 18 carat case." Others speak of 14 carat watch, es or 22 carat or solid gold rings. When you see the marks on a watch case or the Inside of a gold ring they read 18 K. or 14 K., or whatever number of carats the maker wishes to indicate. A piece of gold Jewelry marked 18 K., or 18 carats, means that it is three-fourths pure gold. In arranging this basis of marking things made of gold abso lutely pure gold Is called 24 carats. Then if two, six or ten twenty-fourths of alloy has been added the amount of the alloy is deducted from twenty- four, and the result is either 22, 18 or 14 carats flue, and so on. On ordinary articles made by Jewelers the amount of pure gold used is seldom over 18 carats, or three-fourths. Wedding rings (and these are considered solid gold) are generally made 22 carats fine— that is, there are only two twenty fourths parts of alloy in them. Words. Words nre used for various purposes —to evade issues, to put peoplo to sleep, to break up homos, to present literature and to conceal ideas. Noth ing exceeds like words. Words nre used in speeches, debates and stories. Massed in serried groups in newspapers and text books they pre vent people from learning anything. Last words nre most effective and are employed exclusively by women and prominent citizens who are dying. Words nre nothing In themselves, but only in their relationship to other words. It is the system of putting them together that counts. Most words are like unorganized militia. In war the mortality among them Is fearful. They never win lintties. When words nre found In regular nrmy style, how ever. disciplined and experienced, they are likely to bo invincible.- Judge.

It's all right and you don't need to come’’ “Thus 1 I'st my five dollar fee, but made a happy mother. “This Is not a very elegant or per Imps sanitary plan, but I assure you it Is speedy and effectual.’’ Measuring Elestricity. The terms volt, ampere, ohm, watt and farad, met with in works on elec tricity, mean very little to most people, 'ilie volt is the milt of electrical pres sure, the umpere the unit of current strength, the ohm the unit of resist ance, the watt the unit of electric pow er, and the least of all known, farad, the unit of electrical capacity. Current strength Is determined by di viding the pressure by the strength; thus the number of amperes of current strength is equal to the number of volts divided by the number of ohms. The watt indicates the amount of electric energy being used when an ampere of current is flowing under a pressure of one volt. However, the term kilowatt, or 1,000 watts, is more generally used. The unit of electrical capacity, the farad, wiU contain one ampere of cur rent at one volt pressure for one second of time. The farad Is divided into a million equal parts, each part termed the microfarad, and this is the term most used in stating electrical capacity.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON JOHN50* HALL ADMINISTRATION BLOG EDAKNE, OREGON ------------ :— KM r H ance NEW EDUCATIONAL The Wild Camel of Spain. Who would imagine that there are wild camels in Spain, and in a part of Spain which Is flooded during a great part of the year? Yet the thing is vouched for by the authors of “Unex plored Spain." The explanation is that "the animals were introduced to Spain In 182!) by the Marquis of Villafranca, with the object of employing them in transport and agriculture, as they are commonly used on the opposite shores of Africa. Hut local difficulties en sued, chiefly arising from the intense fear and repugnance of horses toward camels, which resulted in numerous accidents, and eventually the bactrians were set free in tlie inarlsma, where Elephants* Toes. in they have since lived at large and The African elephant has two toes bred under wholly wild conditions. on Its rear feet and three on its front feet, the Indian elephant has three on Not Willing to Try.

The Greatest Celebration in Years Monopole and Red Ribbon Japan’s Curious Museum. Probably the very oldest museum In the world Is that nt Nara, the ancient cnpltal of Japan. It was founded In the year 756 A. D„ and all the articles therein are of an earlier ilntrf for. al though Nara has gone through all the vicissitudes of the empire, not one new article has been added to the collec tion. The museum is In safe and care ful custody, and its doors are aliened only once every year. On that day a committee goes over the collection, tab ulates it and compares tile list with those made previously. The 3,000 ar tides in the collection are of lacquer ware, decorative furniture, enamel ware, cambric like fabrics and of other kinds and are among the very finest of their species that the world has pro duced. Some come from China and some from Korea, but most of them appear to have been brought from lands further afield. MB Wk Why arc laundry women the moot forgiving of their sex? Because the more cuffs you give them the more they will do for you. The great soul of this world Is Just.— Carlyle. ■' — —- ■ Electric Sparks (From Off Our Wireless) Tuxedo fans are always loyal to that one brand, superb and royal. They say, “What is the use of trying the other kinds, and sample buying? We know Tuxedo can’t be beaten; it’s good as bread, when bread is wheaten; it keeps us all in cheerful humor, and makes of each an an ardent boomer; it with a blissful peace annoints us; Tuxedo never dis appoints us. It is the worker’s one consoler, when Business, with its big steam roller, has run him down and left him jaded, with all his dreams and prospects faded. ’Tis then Tuxedo smooths the wrinkles, and to his sad eyes brings the twinkles, and braces him for future battles, down where the loom of commerce rattles.” These fans are found in every station, in every trade and oc- cupation; the able jurist and the baker, the boss of many a rolling acre, the butcher, as he sells his rasher, the banker and the haber dasher, the cattleman in far Laredo, all pin their faith to good Tuxedo.

Villa is beginning to qualify as the great international spook. On the other hand, Europe has not had to endure an Orpet trial. However, is not “supersubmarine"' a contradiction in prefixes? People who were kicking for some hot weather are still kicking, but not I for the same reason. Even a great world war can hardly i be excused from starving the helpless women and children of Poland. Not to be put out of the running by the rest of the political leaders, Charles Evans Hughes lets it be known that he is also a grandfather. For a man who has been killed six times and who is even now forced to go around an crutches, Panche Villa is singularly hard to catch. One thing pleasant about the sub marine passenger trans-Atlantic ocean', liner is the fact that it has no swim ming tank and room for very little caste. Probably 200 supersubmarines of the Deutschland type could carry one fair sized ship cargo. It is not yet time to throw a fit. Poet who tried to rhyme “embargo” with Chicago evidently has swallowed a few western burrs. L Í. ■ B. 8Ui?ïâC0. PATE ST LAWYERS, 303 Seventh St, Washington, D. C. THIS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO 3RANC 1ES IN At' T”E rRINC:?AI. CITIE Tloumnnia has a thinking part in this war «nd presumably it is doing some hard thinking. One gathers from the “price of eggs” and chickens that the hen has been studying birth control. A “Get Together” meeting in Mexico means that trouble is brewing. The Deutschland might find profit able service in South Carolina if the flood continues. One sure way to reduce the cost of gasoline is to build and maintain hard and smooth roads. What has become of the old-fashion ed horse that used to show uneasineM when passing an automobile. In the event of a war on this conti nent who would be America's Lloyd George? During their summer vacations more of our inventors should discover sub- stitutes for gasoline. Secretary Lansing having gone on ■ vacation, it would be a graceful set for the Mexican crisis to do the same.
