With the dowel stick in the right hand, place the point with the brad in ine lower, left-hand corner of the cloth. The nail should penetrate the cloth. See figure 1. With a quick, upward twist to Wt of the rirht wrist, start the cloth to spinning. Rotate the stick with a steady wrist move ment. At first the cloth may swing around in a wrinkled mass, but after a moment it will straighten out and soon will be spinning flat. As soon as it is, give the spin ning stick an extra hard upward push, being careful not to break thu spinning of the cloth. Quickly withdraw the wire point from the cloth. The cloth will spin unsupported and. doe to the force of the push, will ascend. As It come down put the stick into it again, but this time not so close to thA edre. but nearer tha cen ter.

The real name of 'Hard-Hoiled" Smith, the commander who is charged with the commission of all sorts of atrocit'es in the army, overseas, is Frank H. Smith. He is an Ohioan, the son of Joseph P Smith, former state librarian and one of the organizers of the Mc Klnley candidacy in 1S9C. Th3 father died in Miama. Fla., some years ago of consumption. Yotins Frank Smith was born and raised in Urbana, Ohio, and used to be a familiar figure around Colum bus, when his father was one of the best known newspaper men in the Buckeye state. He is now a colonel in the Mexican army. RE1EW OF BUSINESS The following are paragraphs In the current weekly financial letter of Henry Clews, the out standing Wall Street author' ty: Further progress toward a definite adjustment between Eu ropean powers seems to be in sight as a feature of the meetings shortly to be held at Cannes and The Hague. There is now unques tionably a well marked program of procedure to which Great Brit ain is slowly bringing the repre sentatives of France to assent. It doubtless involves .the modifica tion of German indemnity agree ments to the end that payment may be facilitated. With this out of the way as a preliminary, the conference In question may de vote themselves to the develop ment of much needed plans for Btabiliing exchzange and restor ing monetary soundness. "With the reassembling of con gress, the, question of federal fin ance once more assumes first class importance. There is but too much reason te fear that a soldiers' bonus plan may be passed.

These, it wouid eem, are in a fair way to be ren dered by some organizations. With government f red t at a Jtgh-r level than for many months pas:, and with the budget satisfactorily balanced, industrial and trade conditions being generally bright er now than for some time, ii Would be almost unthinkable that tha community would submit to policies wholly subversive of pro gress or soundness. 'Various indications of cont;n- ued improvement in business ar to be. noted, anions them th? growth of output in various in dustrial lines. Recessions in thi pric? of agricultural commodities. notably wheat and cotton are. however, seriously regarded as being ind'eative of less satisfac tory conditions for the farmer. This makes the problem of finan cing an adequate acr?age for the new year important, and lays a large burden of responsibility up on the country bank. "The most important develop ment in the money market now to be awaited s?ems to be the new funding and financing r!an of the treasury department, which should make its appearance short ly. This plan will provide for the maturities falling due during the coming months and the rate of interest which is offered will probably be in an important sens? a pacemaker for the investment and money market in general. The continued firmness in the price of bonds and the relatively- small range of movements in most branches of the market pofnts to the belief that conditions there have become fairly fixed. Not only the presence of a large and continuous supply of government interest bearing obligations, but also the better ODDortunities which are likely to be opened abroad militate against the belief that extremely cheap money is to be expected as an incident of the early future, except perhaps from time to time, for very short pe riods; nevertheless, with a fede ral reserve ratio of 71.1 per cent. as shown this week, and with the comparatively small demand for bank accommodations. It can be taken for granted that the sup plies for a long time ahead will be adequate to meet all require ments, and that h'gh rates are a thing of the past.'

It would be a fineithing, of course, if Salem could ave a still more direct part in the work of saving the lives of the starving Russians who are the victims of the criminal folly of their over lords in their government, plus the drouth which destroyed their last harvest.
