TURKISH "JUSTICE."
Curious Cata of Man Who Wai Guil
ty of Having Daughter.
Dr. Clarke, a famous traveler of
about a euitury usotells of the fol
lowing reiuarknble ease, which was
tried ut tlie Greek Island of Cos: A
youn' mun desperately in love with n
girl of Siam-hlo eutierly sought to mar
ry her, but Ilia proposals were rejected
In consequence of his disappointment
he bought some poison and destroyed
himself. The TurkiKh police Instantly
arrested the father of the young wo
muu as the cause, by Amplication, of
the man's death. Under the tilth spe
cies of homicide he became, therefore
amenable for this uct of suicide.
When the rase caine before tho mag
istrate it was uified literally by the
accusers that "If he (the accused) hud
not Jmd a daughter the deceap would
uot have fallen in love; conse iuentl
he would uot have been disappointed,
consequently he would uot have swil
lowed poison; consequently he woalu
uot have died. But he (the acciised
liud a daughter, nnd the deceased ha:
I'ailen in love, and had been disup
pointed, and had swallowed poison
aud bad died." '

ed upon to pay, the price of the youiii;
luau's life, und this, beiuj,' fixi-d u't tin
film of 80 plasters, was accordingly
exueted.
Another instance was related to Dr
Clarke, which occurred at the island of
Sumos, as a characteristic feature of
Turkish justice that is to say, a so
phistical application of a principle rig
idly foundpd upon this tifih species of
''homicide by Implication." The Capu
dan I'asha reusoned with the people of
Samoa on tho propriety of their paying
for u Turkish frigate which was wreck
ed upon their territory and the crew
lost "because the accident would not
have happened unless I hell' Island had
been hi the way." Case and Comment
FOUR TYPES OF MEN.
French Method of Picking Soldiers For
Special Lines of Work.
"A good Judge of human nature la
born aud not made," declared Dr. G
titanley Hall, president of Clark uni
versity. "Baseball scouts are not able
to tell how they pick men; neither tali
any employer tell how be picks his
men."
Dr. Hall described the French system
of dividing mpii into four general types
and selecting them for particular jwsl
lions in the army accordingly. He said;
"First The digestive ty. It Is
characteristic of the heavy jaw, broad
abdominal region. Such men require
more fond, need It regularly, must be
well fed. Such men are best on the de
fensive. They are hard to dislodge from
i he trenches.
"Second. Xhe respiratory type. Nos
trils and ears are large; large, Ion;:
chest; demand plenty of pure ulr; get
restive tmder coutinement Such mo
ire selected for woik on high moun
tains. They are good in the charge, In
making an attack. Such men exclusive
ly are selected for the aviation corps.
"Third. The muscular tyiie. Head Is
square, limbs; long and strong, body
short. This type is good for the bayo
net charge In the artillery service.
"Fourth. The Tjervous type. Large
head tapers down to a sharp Jaw. Such
men have power to draw upon their re
serves. They can get their second wind.
The really great are men of this type.
Along with this type Is closely associat
ed a willingness to sacrifice self for the
good of others.
"Children and, animals nre guided by
the desire to gain pleasure and avoid
pain. As they grow older they should
learn to bear present palu for future

Hard to Hear Airplane at Sea.
While It Is widely known that an air
prune can be heard for some distance
off on land, ou water the lupplng of the
waves and the whistling of the wind
through the rigging and superstructure
of a vessel make It almost impossible
to henr the power plaut o an approach

Heart and Lungs.
The action of the heart, lungs and dl
gestlve system is Involuntary, for the
rensnn that it Is indispensable to life
and must be carried on u-ider all elf
enmstances. If a mnu had to think of

Ordnance Officers
Wanted For Army
Men to serve . as commissioned and
non-commissioned officers and pri
vates in the ordnance department of
the United States army are urgently
needed, according to the govern
ment's latest call for volunteers.
They must be of draft age or older,
and must have college training or be
"men of sufficient actual business ex
perience to enable them to grasp the
subject and be relied upon after com
pleting the course." No other re
quirements are stated in the call.
The University of Oregon at Eu
gene has been designated as a train
ing station for the course. The In
struction of the first section will be
gin October 1. Plenty of applications
have been received already, but the
government now wants new sections
to be started every week therafter.
Each class will be limited to fifty
men, and these will be expected to
devote their entire time to the train
ing. Th,e army's need is so urgent
that the students showing the most
aptitude will probably be called be
fore the end of the six weeka
The men will act as shipping
clerks, stores clerks, balance of
stores clerks, etc., at bases nnd field
depots, and be responsible for buy
ing, handling and accounting for mu
nitions ' and military equipment,
Thousands of lives will depend upon
their accuracy and efficiency In get
ting ammunition and ordnance to the
fighting lines, and the War Depart
ment demands men who "are 100 per
cent efficient." ,
The course at the University of
Or,egon will be under charge of C. C.
Jeremiah, who has been assigned to
the work by the War Department
A fee of $20 will be charged to meet
the heavy expense of giving It. En
llstment Is required at the close of
the course. If the men are called to
duty and are placed In the field they
will receive the rank of sergeant,
which carries with It a salary of from
$40 to $60 a month, according to
grade, with a 20 per cent Increase
In case of foreign service. All men
taking the course will probably be
made sergeants as soon as they get
Into the field,, although the govern
ment does not guarantee this.
The training will Include Industri
al and scientific management, the re
ceipt, handling and shipping of ord
nance material, conversational
French, and perhaps typewriting.
The man who can operate a type
writer will have an advantage and
stand the best chance of early pro
motion to commissioned rank.
Director Jeremiah comes from the
University of Pennsylvania', where he
has be,en connected with a similar
course. He says: "Every man
should be made to realize that the
course Is not given with the view
that the men will make money after
th,ey enlist. It Is a purely patriotic
move and the men taking the course
must sacrifice something for their
country. At the University of Penn
sylvania we had In our class mer
chants, ' lawyers; manufacturers,
brokers, etc. men who were making
salaries of anywhere from $1,200 to
$10,000 per yean. They sacrificed
home, salary, prospects and every
thing else to bevof service to their
country, and we shall expect the
same of the students,out here."
Application blanks for admission
to the stores course will be furnished
on request. Address C. C. Jeremiah,
University of Oregon, Eugene.
