For nearly twenty years following the American occupntlon of Detroit In 1700 the Indians of the Saginaw valley harassed the citizens by threat ening attacks upon the town, and by stealing their cattle from the public common through which Washington boulevard was afterward survejed. Fort Shelby, which then centered about the present site of the post office, did not intimidate the Indians from lnnslons of the common, so a circular earthwork fort was construct ed Just east of where High and Park boulevard now converge for addi tional protection. The work was per formed by soldiers from tho fort dur ing the yenr 1800-7. When finished this fort Inclosed a circular space of half an acre. The walls were ten feet high, with an In side parapet hnlf way up. It was sur rounded by a broad ditch about six feet deep, which the swampy ground kept filled with water. For several years a small detnll of soldiers went out from Fort Shelby to this post to stand guard against cattle thieves, but nothing ever happened, so the In habitants called It Fort Nonsense. Years later Rev. George Dnfilpld, D. D., bought the land nnd built his residence on the Woodward avenue front. Streets were laid out on each side of this lot. That on the south side was named George street and that on the North. Duflleld street. The old fort wns razed and graded level. For some renson George street wns renamed High street. Detroit News.

Cincinnati School Authorities Have Is sued Special Appeal to Women's Clubs of the City. An appeal has been made by the school authorities of Cincinnati to the mothers of that city to enlist in a war against -"bnby talk," and Its effects on their children, and a special speaker has been appointed to carry this cause to the mothers' clubs. While much of the talk with which fond mothers beguile their babies may sound very foolish to others, It seems to sound good to the bnby, and while the claim that It makes stutterers and causes other defects of speech may have some truth In It, the "baby talk" will bear comparison with much other talk heard by children. While good speech Is Important, the matter Is of more Importance than tho manner In fact, good matter naturally tends to good matter in speech. It is at least quite as important that par ents, fathers as well as mothers, are careful to select the right subject mat ter for talk before and to their chil dren as that baby talk be eliminated. Try, as they may, the teachers are likely to have a hard time anyway to convince many mothers that baby talk Is not the proper language In which to address the baby, both as to sub ject matter and method of speech. Pittsburgh Dispatch. CIT. JS FRUITS BY-PRODUCTS Experts Have Shown How Profits to Growers From Materials Ones Waste Can Be Made. To offset the serious losses In the citrus fruit Industry occurring through bruised, undersized or oversized or anges, grapefruit and lemons usually allowed to go to waste, the bureau of chemistry of the United States De partment of Agriculture has Investi gated methods for getting by-products that will return a profit to the grower. Some of these products require a pre liminary expense for equipment, but It has been demonstrated that the In vestment can soon be made profitable. Grapefruit Juice, which Is Increasing In popularity, can be easily made If directions for pressing, straining, pas teurizing, clarifying, sweetening nnd bottling the Juice are carefully fol lowed. These directions may .be ob tained from the department. A blend of grapefruit Juice with lo ganberry Juice has been found popu lar. Orange vinegar Is a satisfactory substitute for apple vinegar and should be mndc In districts where many cull oranges would otherwise be a total loss. Citric acid Is a valuable commercial article which can be made from cull lemons or limes If proper apparatus Is installed. Other by-products from citrus fruits often wasted Include candled citrus peel, for use as a confection or by bak ers In place of citron, marmalades. Jellies, butters and pectin. 1023 MALHEUR COUNTY BUDGET NOTICE To the Tax Payors of Malheur County, Oregen: Tho budget Committee of Malheur County, Orogon, has fixed Thurs day, December 20th, 1922, at 10 o'clock A.

Who was the first glider? In sup plying nn answer there Is room for the patriots of many nations to delve In medieval annals. Italy and France have a good case. Jean Baptlste Dane is said to have made a success ful glide at Perugia In the Fifteenth century, while tho marquis of Bacquc vllle, In the middle of the Eighteenth century, skimmed across the Seine at Paris. Details of a convincing kind ore, however, lacking. But there Is no doubt of the theoretical claims of the Frenchman Louis Pierre Moulllard, who died a quarter of a century ago in poerty at Cairo, In two volumes he set out the principles that should guide man in seeking conquest of the air. To seek to fly by Imitating the beating of a bird's wing was not feas ible. "Men should Imitate such birds us fly with stead wings and avail themselves of the currents of the air." Ten j ears after Moulllard was dead (with his dreams of an actual machine unfulfilled) the Wright brothers began the development of his Ideas.

Canada's mounted police count noses and find only about 2.700 Eskimos liv ing In the Far North, not Including Alaska. The low figure Is surprising. Be ginning with our first lessons In geog raphy, we hnve heard so much about the Eskimos that most of us Imagined they existed In much greater num bers. In bidding for fame, the Eskimos have had the additional handicap of never producing a gteat man. Despite mediocrity nnd fewness, the Eskimos have become known In all parts of the earth.

The attention of the geological sur. vey has been called to a peculiar well In Ohio, and has caused an Investiga tion to be made of It. It appears that the well produces both fresh and salt water through two separate pumps. The explanation proves to be very simple. Two water-bearing beds, con fined between lnyers of limestone, oc cur at this point, one above the other. Tho pipe of the fresh-water pump taps tho upper vein at a depth of 10 feet. Tho plpo of the salt-water pump touches the lower vein at a depth of 35 feet; and the brine, being heavier than the fresh water, does not mix with It, but remains at the bottom.
