KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS OPEN NATIONAL MEET BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 5. Preceded by a pontifical high mass celebrated in the Cathedral of . the Holy Cross, the annual national convention of the Knights of Columbus was opened here today. Hundreds of delegates and visitors from all parts of the United States and Canada were in attendance. The convention entered upon its bus iness session this afternoon. One of the most interesting matters to be taken up by the convention is the question of making a thorough in vestigation into conflicting claims about the present resting place of the remains of Christopher Columbus. The proposal is to be introduced by dele gates from Washington, D. C, acting on the suggestion of Senator Ransdell, of Louisiana, who is of the belief that . the remains of Columbus never were removed to Spain, as is the common supposition, but that they still rest in the cathedral at Santo Domingo.

Cookery points Preserving Day Don'ts. Don't attempt to put up anything by guesswork. Preserves, jellies and pickles all require exact measurements to be perfect. Every fruit needs its own time for cooking. Get a preserv ing and pickling book and follow the directions to a "t," or, better still, ask the good housekeepers you know for their recipes and write them down word for word. , Don't think that you can put up a large quantity of fruit as easily as you can a small one, however experienced you are. There is a deal of standing to do, and interest flags when the body is weary. Much good fruit is spoiled on preserving and canning day because it was put up wheu the housekeeper had reached the listless and exhausted stage. Don't think that you can be econom ical with sugar when preserves and jellies are in hand, for you will find this a great mistake. In the first place, fruit stinted of sweetness sel dom keeps, and, in the second place, it has no taste. Jelly will not, "jell" if the fruit juice and sugar are not meas ured exactly according to directions. But sometimes the jellying process is delayed for some reason or other even when there is enough sugar, in this event put the jelly in the sunshine for a little while, where the action of the bright light will produce the desired change. Don't think that you can be entirely successful in all your canning, pre serving and pickling if you have only makeshift tools. Proper implements save time, and they are more likely to bring success. The utensils needed for a good batch of work are a preserving kettle, well cleaned and dried jars, several jelly bags (half of cheesecloth and half of flannel), two or more square pieces of flannel, a long handled spoon, a colander, a puree sieve, two or three large bowls, a ladle, a pair of scales, a quart, pint and gill measure and perhaps a canuer. Don't think if your family is small that you must use quart jars. As all of the fruit cannot be eaten upat once, it is a deal more sensible to put it into pint jars. Jelly and jam tumblers do not need to match, and for sealing these up paraffin candles can be melted down and the hot wax poured over the fruit. But this is only a makeshift de vice for the amateur practicing with a little fruit for the paraffin sold by the pound is better for. the purpose. Wash the candle off if they are to be used and strain the" melted wax. Have about a quarter of an inch of the wax at the top of the fruit and seal up the "practice" tumblers with letter paper put on with white of egg. Dou't think that because you haven't; got a regulation boiler for your fruit jars your nice things will spoil in the making. Any wash boiler, can be used, but the water must never come up to the top of the jars.. and they must stand on something while the boiling Is going on or they will break. Spread the boltom of the wash boiler with hay or straw or cover it with four or five layers of newspaper; then put over the covering some weight or other to keep it down. The jars should be at least two inches under water, and if bottles are boiled the water should reach one inch below the cork. ' After the jars are in the wash boiler pour the water in cold-rand place the boiler on the stove, where It will come to a slow boil. Don't forget that the time for boiling depends entirely upon the fruit, and If you have lost the recipes piu this mem orandum up In the kitchen: Peaches should boil from twenty to thirty min utes; ripe pars (Bartlett). about thirty five minutes; plums, fifteen minutes; apricots, twenty minutes; pineapples, forty-five minutes; berries of all sorts, five minutes; cherries, five or ten min utes; quinces, about twenty-five min utes Don't forget that when the time fpr boiling Is uu the Jars should be ie- movea rrom tne water ana ei npsiae down to cool; also see that they are set on a dry table and not on a wet one, for the least drop of cold water will crack the jars. . Don't forget to fill up the slack jars with hot sirup as soon as they are tukeu from the bath; then close them at once, turuing each one upside down when the top is tight. ' Don't forget when canning vegeta bles that the same filling up of slack jars is made with boiling water, but that the jar must'be at once sealed and boiled again for five or ten minutes. Don't forget when the jars are cold to examine each one and to see If it is nir tight; then. If all is well, wipe the jars off with a clean wet cloth and set them at once in a cold, dry place. Don't forget that the good grocery stues pay a fancy price for first class homemade products of any sort. The labels must lie written out by band on neatly cut slis of letter paper. This gives the home look, and If the real home taste if inside the jar the grocer will take the batch, however small or big it is. Fried Summer Squash. Take three or four small and tender summer squashes crookneeks are the best. Cut in slices about half an inch thick, take out the seeds and boil them half an hour or until tender In slightly salted water. When done fry them In butter to a dfli-tite hrown. HOME. Cling to Mag home! If there the meanest shed Yield thee a hearth and shelter for thy bead. And some poor plot, with vege tables stored. Be all that heaven allots thee for thy board Unsavory bread and herb3 that, scattered, grow Wild on the river brink or moun tain brow. Yet e'en this cheerless mansion shall provide More heart's repose than all the world beside. Leonidas.

No situation is more difficult to deal with than that In which a figure of speech becomes a fact 1 mean that when we have been using a phrase truly, but in its general and metaphor ical sense, we are rather embarrassed than otherwise if we find that it is true, even in its strict and literal sense. There does not seem to be anything more to say.. Suppose you beard a family remark casually. "It's madness in papa to go to Norway!" And sup pose the next instant papa sprang into the room through a smashed window, with straws in his hair and a carving knife and. howled aloud: "Ubbubboo! I. C. S. An Ethical Power Now, gentlement, just for a -moment, 1 would speak to you, not as an educationalist, but as a preacher of manhood and a lover of his kind. The question of the use of alchohol by the student when study ing, has carried me back to the thought. The International Correspond ence Schools are not simply educational, they are ethical; they not only make foremen and craftsmen and draftsmen, but - they mak MEN in capital letters. For you can never awaken any one to his commercial possibilities without stirring up" all other possibilities so cial, patriotic, philanthropic, intellectual, moral. The moment you suc ceed breaking up one area of inertia you set vibration moving -through every part of the being and all kinds of dormant and stagnant powers are set into healthy motion. When a man's mind gets engrossed with an intellectual occupation and he finds that he has a grip upon the laws -and forces of the universe, the saloon, the vulgar and degrading suow, the curb-stone loafing, and the hours of inane and ribald waste all seem to be unworthy of him an his self-respect clothes him in a protective armor which helps to keep his entire manhood inviolate. A great American preacher used to speak much about "the expulsive pow er of a new affection," and, having 'as your life work the duty of both supplying and developing this "new affection" the love cf the best, by which the unworthy and base will be expelled, perhaps unconsciously but surely, from many and many a man. Success to you in your work! The Trained Man Never Worries When the chiefs put their heads together to hire or "fire," the trained man doesn't worry. He knows that there is always a place for him. . ' You can look your job and every man in the face if you possess the training so much in demand everywhere today. The International Correspondence Scuools will go to you in your spare time, whereever you live, and will train you to become an expert in your chosen line of work. Such a training will forever take you off the "anxious" seat. It costs you nothing to find how the I. C. S. can -help you. Mark the coupon opposite the occupation for which you have -a natural lik ing, mail the coupon today, and the I. C. S. will send you facts showing how you can earn more money in the occupation of your own choice. INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOLS H. H. HARR IS, Local Mgr. 505 McKay Building, Portland, Oregon.

And suppose she sat down suddenly on 'the floor and began to .scream for her doll and her skipping rope We would be at a loss Words suited to the situation would not easily suggest themselves.. Of if a wife said to. her husband, apropos of a luxurious friend to whom he gave expensive dinners. "He's sim ply robbing you," her remarks would be cut short rather than further en couraged by the sight of the friend climbing out of the window with the silver .tea pot under his arm. The wife would have the extremely unpleasant sensation of having said . the worst thing she could and having nothing more to say. Cases, of course, could be multiplied indefinitely, as the case of one who. entering a lodging bouse, should say "Rats!" in disparagement of its praises and find himself instantly surrounded by those animals, or one who should remark, "Uncle Joseph has lost his head over this." and should find him decapitated in the garden. Illustrated London News. . . Nice For the Lady. Quite regularly a - certain- London school teacher invited two miserable little girls to spend Saturday afternoon at her house. Knowing how overbur dened with work the mother was and how much the children's moral educa tion was neglected at home, a settle ment worker ventured to congratulate the parent'. "What a great advantage for them!" she said. "How exceedingly kind of her!" "No doubt she's glad of conm'try," complacently returned the mother. London Telegraph. The Use of English. Of the 80,000 English words avail able for conversation purposes only 400 are said to be in common use. If these were carefully selected there would be little cause for complaint since the combinations they make possible should provide innumerable shades of variation. Careful word se lection is something that should be en couraged in and out of the schools. Christian Science Monitor. Caustfc John Bright. Many stories were told about John Bright's caustic repartees in private life. This story, says, the British Weekly, is true: "I should like to come back to this world in fifty years to see what changes have happened in England," said a gentleman to Mr. Bright "My good sir," - replied Mr. Bright "if you don't mend your ways you may be glad of any excuse to come back." Quite Soothing. "I suppose, young man, that you realize the cost or supporting'two per sons?" asked the stern father. "I am sure that you will find that my income is quite sufficient for my own needs. You will not have an ex tra burden if X marry your daughter." Buffalo Express. Forest of Natural Columns. There is in Bulgaria a group of nat ural columns .much like the Giant's causeway jn Ireland. On the edge- of a plateau In the open country rises this forest of natural columns, which gives the impression of an antique ruin. The col ii in us. which are about fifteen to twenty feet high, are absolutely cylin drical, and they are often as much as three feet thick. The stratification of the rock resembles joints and vertical erosion due to rain has formed Doric fluOngs.

The apparent color of mother-of-pearl was for a long time somewhat of a puzzle to scientists. Later it was found that the surface of mother-of-pearl consisted of fine striations or ridges, with, of course, little hollows between. This explained everything, for it was then to the scientists noth ing more or less tban an ordinary dif fraction grating. To prove it still fur ther an impression of the surface was taken in black wax. and the wax it self exhibited the beautiful display of color shown in the original mother-of-pearl surface. The color is not due to pigment, but to the cancellation In part of the light falling on the surface. To understand this better it will be well to explain a diffraction grating. It consists of a piece of plate glass upon which are engraved many paral lel lines. Rowland has been able to scratch lines on a glass so that there are 20.000 to the inch and the distances 15 - Wattr Portland Railway, Light & Power Company THE ELECTRIC STORE Beaver Building, Main Street Tel.

As white light, or sunlight, consists of every color kuown and as light travels in waves, at certain places if light Is coming from several different directions very close to one another some of these waves will meet in what are known as opposite phases and will blot one another out and the only re maining color will be the white." It can be easily seen what is meant by opposing phases from a considera tion of waves on the seashore. If the top of a big wave meets a trough of another they cancel, and no wave at all is the result. The same takes place in light phenomena. Light consists of an ether wave, similar to wireless waves, only much shorter, and if its wave is destroyed none of that light can be seen by the eye. Colors of silk are due in the main to the same thing, as mother-of-pearl, es pecially shot silk. It as with the pearl, can be perfectly reproduced. New York Tribune.
