Insect Enjoys Whirl of
Pleasure in Watch
Truth fnl Man Inaintn othlng Waa
Wrong; With 91 Timepiece.
THEY had been discussing; watches,
and the Truthful Man insisted that
his dollar timepiece was as good as any
that was made. One of his friends re
minded him that only a few days be
fore he had been complaining that his
watch had gained an hour in the morn
ing, and then lost 15 minutes each hour
In the afternoon.
"I know it did," said the Truthful
Man, "but I've since found out why.
Over at the hotel where I am staying
the woodwork .is just about honey
combed by little red ants. The building
is all concrete, but these pests must
have been in some of the boards used
in the doors and window sills, and they
have multiplied and spread all over the
place. They are "
"What has that got to do with
watches," asked the Fat Man.
"Wait a minute and you'll see," said
the Truthful Man. "Every night when
I go to bed I hang my watch on a hook
in the door, so I can see it from my
bed, and so I won't hear it tick. Well,
yesterday, after my watch hadT been
going crazy for a couple of days, I took
It out of my pocket to look at it, and
there was one of those pesky red ants
crawling around on the dial, under the
glass. I pried the front of the watch
open, shook the ant off, and ever since
the watch has been running all right.
"Now, I think that ant must have
crawled from the door to the watch,
got inside through the stem winder,
and after riding around on the wheels
for a couple of days and disarranging
the interior economy of my timepiece,
finally crawled out through the second
hand hole, and so got upon the dial;
because the watch has been keeping
time ever since."
And then his friends looked at him
reproachfully, and silently stole away.
Nevertheless, this is a true story.
FINE FOOD LAW VIOLATORS
Company Will Discontinue Sale of
Cereal and Change Flour Brand.
Pleading guilty to violating the pure
food laws, the Acme Mills Company, of
Portland, was fined $25 and costs yes
terday in two cases filed by' United
States District Attorney McCourt
The defendants were charged with
advertising and selling a breakfast
food and a brand of flour said to con
tain an unusually large percentage of
gluten and to be devoid of many starch
elements. As such it was recommend
ed to sufferers from diabetes. An In
vestigation by chemists revealed an
unusually large ' percentage of starch
and no more gluten than is contained
in ordinary wheat products. Starch
is injurious to diabetes Invalids. The
Acme Company has promised to dis
continue manufacturing the breakfast
food, and will change the brand on the
flour so that it will state the facts.
IilQCOK SELLER SURRENDERS
Siletz Violator Pays Fine and
Empties Barrels Into Stream.
Having for months defied both the
Federal and state authorities to inter
fere with his sale of liquor in a dug
out on patented land within the Siletz
Indian Reservation, John T. Dickens
has surrendered and poured his fire
water into a nearby stream.
The case of Dickens was solved when
Assistant United States Attorney Wyatt
secured an appointment as deputy dis
trict attorney for Lincoln County and
filed five indictments against the liquor
seller. The Government could not reach
the violator of the law because his dug
out was on deeded land, and Dickens
operated with the advice of Attorney
George Brownell, to the effect that
state authorities could not reach the
case because the land was within the
boundaries of the Indian reservation.
The courts of Lincoln County as
sumed jurisdiction after the case had
been presented by Mr. Wyatt, fining
Dickens $25 and costs in one case and
reserving sentence in the others.

New Pavement May Be Tried
on Russell Street.
CONTRACT UP TO COUNCIL
City Engineer Believes City Should
Not Pay $1.25 Extra for Fancy
Same of Cement Paving.
Makes Offer to Committee.
Granitoid Is the name of a new pave
ment which is to be laid on Russell
street, between Delay and Gantenbein,
if the action of the street committee of
the City Council is followed.
The paving will cost not to exceed
$2.50 a yard, according to the declara
tion of Councilman Menefee. who stat
ed to the members of the committee at
the meeting yesterday that he under
stands it to be better than vitrified
brick and that it will stand heavy
traffic well.
"If you want to lay concrete, I will
go out and lay It for you and not
charge anything extra for the fancy
name," said City Engineer Morris, who
appeared to be skeptical.
City Can Save Money.
Mr. Morris was asked his opinion of
the new pavement, and said it "is just
a plain concrete pavement, and the city
can lay It Just as good and much
cheaper than the Granitoid company
can."
"There is getting -to be a good deal
of this mysterious pavement," re
marked Councilman Belding. "Mas
querading under some fancy name, it
is nothing but concrete, and can be
laid for $1.25 a yard. You take Has
sam, for example; we pay $1.75 for
that, and I am told it can be laid at a
fair profit for $1.25 a yard."
Councilman Annand said that, if the
committee wished to try the new pave
ment, he thought Russell street would
be a good place for it, and Councilman
Menefee moved the adoption of two
lyon canceUng proceeding
for another kind of pavement and th
other one callng for Granitoid. These
were adopted.
William M. Pindell. of Chicago, rep
resenting the Rudolph S. Blome Com
pany, which lays the Granitoid pave
ments throughout the country, was
then granted the courtesy of the floor
and said that his company is ready to
operate extensively in Portland: that
It Is taking contracts continually in
other Northwest cities, and wants to
enter into competition here.
First Work to Be Criterion.
There is much paving to be done In
Portland this coming Summer, and
with the advent into the city of the
new company it is possible that the
mileage sought to be covered will be
greater. It will depend somewhat upon
the results of the first street to be
laid. If it wears well, it is probable
that the company will get other work.
No company Is bidding on vitrified
brick here since the Denny Clay &
Iron Company, of Seattle, was driven
from the field by competitors during
the last part of the Lane administra
tion. PERSONAL MENTION

GOOD THINGS IN
PORTLAND MARKETS
THERE is not much encouragement
for the housekeeper in the mar
kets this week, prices remaining at the
same general level.
Smelt continues to be cheap and plenti
ful, averaging 6 pounds for a quarter.
But smelt, delicious though they are, and
capable of many variations, can appear
at comparatively few meals, out of the
"weekly twenty-one" that some house
wives find a burden.
Other fish are reasonably plentiful.
Halibut is still rather more costly than
usual at 15 to 20 cents a pound. Chinook
salmon costs about 25 cents and steel
head salmon 12V4 to 15 cents. There are
particularly fine prawns Just now at SO
cents, and good shrimps at 20 cents a
pound. Frog legs and mussels are new
comers In the market this week, cost
ing 40 cents a dozen and 10 cents a
pound, respectively.
Do you know the classic recipe for
"Sole a la Normande" the special dis
tinction and pride of the restaurant
Marquery in Paris?
"Take your sole, lay it, with endearing,
loverlike carees, in" an earthen dish, with
butter for Its only companion. At the
same time, In sympathetic saucepan, lay
mussels and let each rejoice in the so
ciety of a stimulating mushroom. When
almost done make of them a garland
round the expectant sole. Cover their se
ductive beauty with a rich, white sauce.
Rekindle their passion in the oven, and
serve immediately and hot. Joy is the
result; pure, uncontaminated joy."
If in need of joy these rainy days, you
might try the above. I can't guarantee
the result, but I know you can get good
"expectant sole" Just now at 10 to 15
cents a pound.
Other available fish are red-snapper,
black cod and spotted croppies at about
cents a pound, with herring, perch
and flounder at 10 cents.
Poultry continues to be scarce and high.
Turkey 35 cents, ducks 30 cents, goose
and chicken about 25 cents a pound. Wild
geese are to be had at $1 each.
The best eggs still cost from 30 to 35
cents a dozen; and butter prices are
practically the same as last week. In
the vegetable market Romalne lettuce is
something of a novelty, and there are
"specials" In green peppers at 15 cents
each. Artichokes are slightly lower in
price. There are good hot-house cucum
bers and tomatoes. Beans and peas are
to be seen, but cost 40 and 35 cents, re
spectively. Seasonable salad is found In the' nicely
blanched chicory and increasingly good
head-lettuce. Brussels sprouts are getting
cheaper. Cauliflower is still excellent.
New French carrots and small rutabagas
are coming in, as well as fresh spinach.
radishes and young onions.
Oranges and grape-fruit divide the
honors in the fruit market. The former
cost 15 to 50 cents a dozen, the latter sell
at 5 to 15 cents each. There are apples,
of course, and a little rhubarb, a few im
ported grapes at about 40 cents a pound,
and Winter pears at 30 to 40 cents a dozen.
These, with nuts, which, by the way, are
lower in price with the advancing season,
and the faithful banana, exhaust the pres
ent possibilities of the fruit stand.

Phineas T. Barnum such Inquiries might
also "lead him to the conclusion" that
George Ade is the author of "Paradise
Lost." The maxim in the man's subcon
sciousness was the one on which Barnum
based his show business: "The American
people like to toe hum-bugged."
That the saying in question should be so
widely attributed to a. man whose public life
and i utterances are within the memory of
men now living is In itself significant, and
is not to be set aside because some brainy
folks 'never knew he said it." The utter
ance itself bears the hallmarks of Lincoln's
ability to put old truths in new light. It
expresses with rude sublimity his Implicit
belief in the Intelligence and sovereignty of
the people.
