CARTLIDGES ANSWER
School Squabble Has Feature Added
in Judge Campbell's Court
Echoes of the famous squabble in
the Oregon City high school were
heard here on Monday when Mr. and
Mrs. H. B. Cartlidge filed an amend
ed answer to the $20,000 damage
suit complaint of Superintendent
P. J. Tooze. They presented a series
of newspaper articles giving the his
tory of the school trouble- to show
that there had been a condition that
needed investigation.
Mr. and Mrs. Cartlidge were the
authors of bulletin No. 1, circulated
here early last spring, in which Mr.
Tooze was accused. In the document
filed Monday Mr. and Mrs. Cartlidge
say that each and every statement
in this bulletin is true in substance
and fact. They do not directly
charge Mr. Tooze with writing anon
ymous letters to heads of other
schools. They say that several prom
inent Oregon City men, including a
member of the school board, urged
the publication of bulletin No. 1,
which resulted in the $20,000 damage
action against them.

RIDING ON BUBBLES OF AIR
Motoring Would Be Ideal If Tires Could
Be Made Thinner.
In the whole mechanism of modern
transportation there is nothing so par
adoxical, nothing so rinring in concep
tion as these bubbles of air which we
call tires. They ore at once strangely
nonsensical nml strangely practical
nonsensical because they must endure
great strains and yet ure necessarily
made of unendurable material ; practi
cal because nothing can match air as a
shock absorber. From all the tales that
we hear of tire costs and tire repairs,
let It not be forgotten that motoring as
we know it becuuie possible because of
the art of riding on bubbles of air bud
been discovered.
What happens when the old fashion
ed iron tired, wooden buggy wheel
strikes a small stone In tho road? Il
simply rises and tho entire load rest
ing on the wheel is lifted. There is
loss of power more work for tho horse.
for whenever you or a horse lifts n
weight energy must ho exm'iided.
What happens when an air tube strikes
stone? The tube is simply punched
In, ns It were, momentarily.' The wheel
need not be lifted over the obstruction
In order to secure this extraordinary
result the air must have a chance to
compress. If It were possible to build
ure wiui u wu as nun as u soap
Dumilcs and yet so tough and clastic
that It would both yield to blows and
resist punctures iind blowouts the Ideal
would be nrti'iiiiMl. One of the hardest
technical tasks ever set was that of de
manding from the rubber Industry a
tube which would hold air and which
would also be resilient.
Air tires serve not only to make mo
toring luxuriously comfortable, but to
protect the ear Itself. Were it not for
them-engines would not perform their
work so efficiently ; gasoline would not
be so economically consumed; high
speed would be unttulnable; steerlug
would not be so easy ; shock would not
be completely absorbed. Waldemar

Admiral Duckworth Could Have Won
Had He Acted Promptly, but He Hes
itated, Gave the Turks Time to Arm
and Wat Bombarded Back to the Sea,
The unsuccessful campulgn at Gal-
lipoll when the forces of the allied
powers failed In their attempt to reach
Constantinople after Turkey bad ar
rayed herself on the side of Germany
recalls the time when Sir John Duck
worth sailed through the Dardanelles
and then turned round and sailed out
again. It wus in 1807,, when Napoleon
was at. war with more than balf a
world and when England bad on the
throne a king with an infirm brain and
a ministry culled tbut of "all the tal
ents," which in splto of Its nume was
wretchedly inefficient.
The French were trying to come to
an understanding with tbe irresolute
Sultan Selim, which was greatly dis
quieting to the czar since In view of
tbe great victories of the "Little Cor
poral" iu Prussia he could ill afford to
spare any forces from the Russian
frontier. So he asked the British to
send a fleet to the sublime porte anil
compel Selim to make terms with Rus
sia and England.
Accordingly Sir John Duckworth was
ordered to Join Admiral Louis in tbe
Aegean sea and lead the combined
fleets up the Dardanelles' to the Turk
ish capitul, where, after securing tbe
safety of Mr. Arbuthnot, the British
ambassador, he was to dictate terms to
the sultan.
It is harder to suil up the Darda
nelles than to sail out because there
a powerful current thut flows con
stantly from the Black sea to the
Aegean. There were no great steam
cruisers then, and Sir John had to wait
several days for favorable conditions.
Meantime one of the largest of the
ships, the Ajax, carrying seventy-four
guns, unaccountably blew up, and some
250 Englishmen were killed.
On a February morning In 1807,
however, seven battleships sailed into
the mouth of the ancient Hellespont
and bore their way up the strait. They
encountered only a light and ineffect
ual Are from the forts. There was no
effective preparation for defensive ac
tion on either the European or Asiatic
side from tbe mouth of the Darda
nelles to the city of Constantlne.
Had Sir John given the sultan
twenty-four hour ultimatum and
trained his guns on the citadel he need
not have fired a shot. He would have
accomplished the purpose for which he
had come and could have sailed out.
with his ships unharmed and himself
covered with glory. But he was seized
with timidity and began unaccountably
to negotiate and temporize.
General Sebastian!, the clever agent
or IsupoleOn at the sultan's court, en
couraged Duckworth's irresolution and
led him on from day to day with spe
cious promises.
Meunwhile men, women and chil
dren, Christians and Mohammedans,
were working day and night to erect
suitable defenses along the fnmous
waterway, until in no long time the
whole shore, as well us the forts of the
Dardanelles, was bristling with guns.
Duckworth's opportunity had passed
He had made the fatal mistake of giv
ing the Turks time to find their leader.
For two weeks the parleylngs went
on, while the fleet's officers through
their glasses could see the constunt ar
rival of cannon, ammunition and
troops. At last Sir John awoke to the
fact that he was In a trap and had
barely time to get out. Fortunately the
wind was in bis favor, and the seven
battleships began their ignominious retreat.
What a contrast between the coming
in and the going out!
For sixty miles they run the gnnt-
let of a continual and heavy fire. It
was incessant and galling hi the sea of
Marmora, and in the Dardanelles It
was terrific. There stone balls, weigh
ing 700 and 800 pounds, snapped the
rigging, broke down the musts and
crushed in tbe decks. The roll of the
artillery was deafening, and the smoke
hung over everything in dark, impene
trable folds.
The huniii'ated admiral could do
nothing but run, and as tbe current
wus with hltn he finally reavhed the
Aegean sea, although with a badly bat
tered fleet.
It has always seemed curious to the
render of history that Duckworth es
caped the fate of Admiral Byug, who
was court mnrtlaled and shot fifty
years before for just such another
lamentable error of judgment. The
only explanation appears to be that
this was a time of such multiplied
fears and panics that even so serious
a matter us tills was soon forgotten in
tbe more absorbing and Importunate
problem of national defense against
tbe designs of Napoleon. Youth's Companion.
Cleopatra.
Cleopatra means "fume of her fa
ther." it wus once very common among
Uie royal ladles of Egypt and Greece
and survives In the French t'leo. Cleo
patra wus born in Alexandria C9 B. C.
and died at the age of thirty-nine not
by applying a poisonous asp to her
bosom, but by swallowing some secret
poisoning.
Life, upon the whole, is fur more
pleasurable than painful; otherwise we
would not feel pain so impatiently
when it comes. Leigh Hunt.

CHARLES HOLMES DIES
Young Tar Passes Away at Pekin,
China. Pneumonia the Cause
Charles Alan Holmes, nephew of
Mrs. Daniel O'Neil of Rose Farm and
for many years a member of the O'
Neil family here, died at Pekin,
China, from pneumonia, according to
word received by Mrs. O'Neil on Tues
day. The body of the young man is

24 years old when he died.
GRANGE AGAINST DIVISION
Schuebel Addresses Oswego Meet
ing. Resolutions are Adopted
Clackamas county Pomona grange
in session at Oswego yesterday passed
resolutions in opposition to any plan
to divide Clackamas county. C.
Schuebel pointed out the fallacies of
the proposed division, that would in-j
elude Oswego, saying that the scheme
would only add to the great power of
Multnomah county. The proposed for
mation of Cascade county was also
condemned in the resolutions. Po
mona grange opposed the insurance
code under the belief that it would
hamper the state compensation act.
The proposed measures to prohibit
circulation of initiative petitions came
in for a scoring from the grangers.
The grange meeting was attended by
60 members and most of the day was
spent in discussing the resolutions
which were passed.

MR. F. GIFFORD
Prominent Farmer in Canada De-
scribes His Escape from the
Operating Table
In a letter to friends at Saskatoon,
Mr. F. Gilford, of the Ball Rock farm,
Maymont, Saskatchewan, . Canada,
says: "Thanks to Fruitola and Traxo
I am still alive. I lay on my back
for sixteen days, suffering the agonies
of a dozen deaths. I began taking
Fruitola and was relieved of a great
many gall stones. My health is now
fully restored."
Fruitola and Traxo are compound
ed from the original Edsall formulas
at the Pinus laboratories in Monti
cello, 111., and can be purchased in dr
agon City, Portland, Canby and Hub
bard at the Huntley Bros. Co.'s drug
stores; a doctor's prescription is not
necessary. Fruitola is a pure fruit
oil and acts as an intestinal lubricant
and disintegrates the hardened parti
cles that cause so much suffering, discharging the accumulated waste to the
sufferer s intense relief. One dose is usually sufficient to indicate its efficacy.
Traxo is a tonic-alterative that is most effective to rebuild and restore the
weakened, rundown system.

be obtained by writing to the Pinus Laboratories, Monticello, 111.
