How Allied Soldiers Suffered When
They First Experienced the Hor
rors of Kaiser's Poison Gas.
Suddenly a great cry rang out:
"The gus!"
It wus true. Over there from the
enemy's lines, came great greenish
balls, rolling close to the earth, rolling
deliberately yet swiftly, rolling
straight toward us, Emmanuel Bour
cler writes In Scrlbner's. Gas I That
horrible thing, still almost unknown,
which had been used for the first time
only recently on the Yser. It was
coming with deadly surety amidst a
tornado of artillery. Orders were
shouted back and forth:,
"The gas ! Put on the masks !"
Each man spread over his face the
protecting cloth. The shelters were
closed. The telephone, whose wires
ran the length of the communication
trenches, gave the warning: "Look
out I The gas!"
We did not yet know what manner
of horror it was. None of us had ex
perienced an attack of the sort. We
ran to and fro like ants whose hill
has been molested. Some fired their
guns at random, others awaited or
ders. The frightful, vivid thing came
on, expanded to a cloud, crept upon
us, glided Into the trenchesv The air
was quickly obscure. We were swim
ming in an atmosphere stained a
venomous color, uncanny, indescrib
able. The sky appeared greenish, the
earth disappeared. The men staggered
about and rolled on the ground, stifled.
There were some knots of soldiers
who had been asleep In their beds
when overtaken by the gas. They
writhed In convulsions, with vitals
burning, with froth on the Hps, call
ing for their mothers or cursing the
Germans. We gathered them up as
best we could; we took them to the
doctors, who, thus confronted by an
unknown condition, found themselves
powerless. They tried the applica
tion of oxygen and ether in an effort
to save the lives of the victims, only
to see them die, already decomposed,
In their hands.
The masks had not yet been perfect
ed and were a poor protection. Some
ran about like madmen, shrieking in
terror, the throat choked with saliva,
and fell In heaps. In contortions of
agony. Some filled the mouth with
handfuls of grass and struggled
against asphyxiation.
Farmers in this part of the coun
try are rejoicing in the fact that
there has been plenty of rain during
the past few weeks. They claim that
the rain has eliminated the "aphis
pest," and that the crops are in fine
condition. Especially is this so in
the Molalla district, where the crops
are in wonderful shape.
Something Told Him
During the most vicious days of
the fighting in the Argonne last Oc
tober a negro soldier was seen to
have turned white, while he shook
like an. aspen leaf. He confided to
his lieutenant:
"It's, de tawkin' shells what gits
me," he said.
"Nonsense," said the lieutenant,"
"shells don't talk."
"Don't you talk that away to me,"
the negro replied. "I kin hear 'em
plain as day. Four o' dese ole G. I.
cans jes' whizzed by an' I heerd 'em
say, 'Niggah, you ain't goin' back to
Ala-BAM!"- Cartoons Magazine.

WAS GIFT TO QUEEN VICTORIA
First Pekingese Dog Brought to Eu
rope a Present From the Em
press of China.
Pekingese dogs have been known to
the western world little more than
half a century. During the looting of
the Imperial palace at Peking, an Eng
lish soldier picked up a dog belong
ing to the empress. Her attendants
attacked the Tommy en masse. He
suggested that the dog be sent as a
gift from the empress to Queen Vic
toria. The plan was agreed to and the
dog was sent to Buckingham pnlnce,
where he was known as Looty. Other
dogs took exception to his appear
ance and made him wish he were back
in China. When the prince and
princess of Wales returned from a
trip to the continent, the princess per
suaded the queen to let her take him
to her home at Sandrlngham. The
princess thought Looty's loneliness
should be ended, since he couldn't
make friends with any English dog,
so she sent to China for a mate of
his own kind.
The fad started by the princess was
taken up by London society and
the breeding of Pekingese dogs be
came so popular that London dog
shows have sometimes been devoted
exclusively to the new type.

SENSE OF SMELL WONDERFUL
Olfactory Nerves Capable of Doing
Work That Can Only Be Called
Marvelous.
It Is said that the tenth part of a
grain of musk will continue for years
to fill a room with Its odoriferous par
ticles, and that at the end of that time
It will not be appreciably diminished
in weight.
A cubic inch of air arising from the
flame of a Bunsen burner has been es
timated to contain no fewer than
480,000,000 dust particles.
A drop of blood that might be sus
pended from the point of a needle
contains about 1,000,000 red corpus
cles. Yet, although matter is so marvel
ously divisible, the olfactory nerves
are Infinitely more sensitive. Much
yet remains to be investigated with
reference to these nerves which will
discriminate with such apparent mirac
ulous accuracy.
Saved Ship From Destruction.
Capturing a runaway bomb on the
deck of a sbin during a terrific gale,
a United States navy man heroically
held on to several hundred pounds of
high explosive until It was got to safe
ty. This man of Iron nerve is John
Mackenzie of the naval reserve, who
Is serving as a chief boatswain's mate
on the U. S. S. Bemlits, a converted
yacht now on patrol service In Euro
pean waters. For this extraordinary
heroism Mackenzie has been awarded
a medal of honor and given a gratuity
of $100. In the midst of a storm a
depth charge, such as have proved so
disastrous to German submarines,
broke loose and went rolling about the
decks. Realizing the danger, Macken
zie shouted out, "I'll get her!" and
flung himself upon the charging cylin
der. Three times he was thrown from
the bomb. The fourth time he got it
and, heaving the charge upright, sat
on it and held it down. Here he 're
mained until lines were placed around
the bomb. Had the charge exploded
It would hnve blown the ship to pieces.
Mackenzie Is a native of Massachu
setts and his mother, Mrs. Mackenzie,
resides at South Hadley Falls, Mass.
after serving four years In the regu

Burglary Among Nonessentials.
Among 'the nonessential industries
which are almost in a state of collapse
Is the ancient and sinister one of bur
glary. According to data furnished by
a burglary Insurance company there
has been a decided and favorable
change in the attitude of chronic
rccnlcltrants since the executive proc
lamation of a few weeks ago, direct
ing all ablebodled men between eight
een and fifty years old to turn their
hands to industrial pursuits. The
draft, high wages and federal and
state surveillance promises to reduce
crime almost to the vanishing point.
Many sociologists and criminologists
of the modern school will point to this
as proof of iiielr theories that poverty
Is the principal cause of crime. It will
no doubt be a potential argument In
favor of a revision of criminal laws
after the war.

Evils of Eye Fatigue.
Many nervous as well as other dis
eases are caused by incorrect illumina
tion. The eye is a subject of prime
consideration in connection with our
health and happiness. Eye fatigue
spoils the disposition; as" that Is one

work we find here a caubo for more
loii of the workman's time. When

this loss shows a large percentage
over the cost-of- the lighting that

Ancestry Not Collateral.
Ancestral honors are not a safe lean
ing post. The leaner usually grows
more lean waiting for providential
bonuses on parental reputation. Some
stocks pay perpetual dividends, but
ancestral fitness often goes to seed in
the spineless scions of modern days,
Nature's dividends depend on present
production rather than on records of
what has been. Dad's reputation is a
mighty good introduction to the pres
ent busy world, but that busy old globe
won't take long to set her estimate on
you. Try living on the reputation of
the family and it will add an extra
mill to the tax rate to provide for your
future as a ward of the poor board,
Uncle Sam has thousands of poor dubs
who thought they were more than they
are. Learn to lean on yourself and you
won't disgrace the family. Use don't
abuse the ancestral brains. Pennsyl

Bass Lured by Bright Light
Here is a fish story bused on an oc
currence at Pontoosuc lake, in Maine,
A pair of bullhead fishermen were In
a boat anchored some distance off
Broadway and it was quite dark. An
other boat with two men in it an
chored a short distance away and the
men began fishing. The first fish to be
caught was a small rock bass. "Give
me that fish," said the other. It was
handed to him by the one who caught
it and he threw it at one of the men
in the other boat, whom he knew. The
fish whizzed by this man's head and
landed in the boat, on the bottom of
which was a lighted lantern. "Gosh I
said the one who had nearly been hit,
"where did that come from?" "I don't
know," replied his companion. "It
jumped right into the boat in trying
to get near the light," and this story
Is going its rounds.
He Is Really Peaceful.
"They call me a hard guy," whanged
the would-be tough individual.
"They do, do they?" hissed the sher
iff of Lone Wolf county, shaking him
by the coat collar.
"T-yes, they Just call me a hard guy
back home," was the reply, "but really
I got a soft disposition."

BALANCE SCALE IS ACCURATE
WHETHER LEVEL OR TILTED
Since balance scales depend upon
gravity for their action, it is ordinar-
ly essential to accuracy that they
rest perfectly level. This necessi
tates not infrequent adjustment, as
all surfaces deviate more or less
from the horizontal from time to
time. An Ohio concern has brought
out a scale, described and illustrated
in the July issue of the Popular Me
chanics magazine, whose indicator
level and dial retain their positive
relation to the balance even when
the base is tilted as much as 30 de
grees out of the horizontal, weigh
ing accuracy being unimpaired by
this unusual position.
Indian Captured
An Indian boy by the name of
Walter Tripp, who escaped from the
Chemawa school near Salem, was
captured Thursday by F. A. Miles,
of Beaver Creek. Miles, who had
been notified of the" escape from the
school by the lad, was riding with
the motorman on the W. V. S. rail
road, when he noticed two lads
walking ahead on the track. The
car was stopped, and the Indian boy
proved to be one of the two. He
was put on the car and taken to Mt.
Angel, where the Chemawa officials
of the school arrived and took him
in charge.
Mrs. Beckett Gets $375
In the case of Mrs. Sarah A. Beck
ett against the County of Clackamas,
wherein Mrs. Beckett asked for dam
ages to property by reason of the
county locating the Gold Hill road,
was settled Friday. Mrs. Beckett
was allowed the sum of $375 as dam
ages, including the original amount
allowed her of $100. The case was
scheduled for trial Wednesday.
Bicycles Recovered
Two bicycles were recovered by the
constable Wednesday belonging to
Roscoe Locke and Edwin Risberger,
which were stolen about two weeks
ago from the owners. The machines
were found in a local bicycle shop in
this city, and the proprietor claimed
that the wheels had been left in
front of his store, and that after
leaving them out in front for some
time, he brought them inside of the
