Portland, Ore. Never did Oregon

Oregon have had rains at Just exact

and the carpenter, cabinet " maker,

Countess Is numbered among those
who aspire to become practical pilots
of the air, and not only has been a
close student at all the demonstra
tions of the aeroplane, but has essay
ed short flights herself.
Both the Earl and the Countess are
adventurous spirits and nothing can
daunt them when a new experience Is
promised. The Earl, although still
under forty, is a sportsman,' traveler.
mining engineer, big game hunter,
cyclist, polo players, soldier and poli
tician. His most famous exploit was
the fitting up of the expedition five
or six years ago to-find the Cocos
Island treasure. His expedition got
into a battle with another band of
treasurev hunters, and the Earl's par
ty was beaten off, the Earl and two
of his men being injured.
The Earl is very wealthy, his for
tune being ample to allow him to In
dulge In any fad he may fancy. His
Yorkshire home is one of the show
places of the country and Is fHled with
magnificent works of art.
The Countess, who was a daughter
of the Marquis of Zetland, is petite

At one house party she danced a "pas

Royal Navy and Military tournament
This popular annual .event had been
arranged to Include as Its special fea
ture a military display entitled "The
Millennium" in which 400 "Tommy

nations were to appear, perform cvo.
lutlons and finally sing an "Ode to
Peace," accompaned by a guard's
Uband. "
this d. splay had been extensively
advertised for weeks and the arrange
ments were practically complete when
the war office came down and for
bade the singing of the . "Ode to
Peace." This action Immediately fol
lowed the publication of a letter crlt
icising the proposed performance as
Incongruous and absurd. Still the
tournament management were put to
considerable inconvenience, and the
organizing secretary. Colonel Ricardo,
immediately resigned, after working
hard In connection with the tourna
ment for many years.
In his statement, Colonel Ricardo
points out that the war office has
never done anything for the tourna
ment, which is held for the benefit
of various service charities beyond
giving its sanction to the appearance
of troops. " .

BERLIN NOW CLAIMS
GEORGE V AS A GERMAN
Berlin "King George of England
Is German through and through. He
Is no more an Englishman than any
German citizen of purely Teutonic
descent." v
This Is the keynote of numerous ar
ticles In the German newspapers In
which King George Is requested to
maintain good relations with Germany
and show himself more friendly to
Germany than Edward.
"If George Is our enfmy he will be
a traitor to his own blood."
This Is the argument repeated on
all sides by the German press and Is i
driven home with a demonstration I
of how purely German George is. His
pedigree consists of 128 ancestors. Of
these 118 are Germans, mostly of mi
nor German princes and grand dukes.
Even his mother, who was a Danish
princess. Is descended from German
families, for the whole Danish dyn
asty is of purely German origin.
For the last seven generations Klne
George's ancestors, parental and ma
ternal, are' purely German. It Is ne
cessary to go back to the grandmother
English 'Artist Has Drastic Cure for
, Hearty Appetite.
London. The recent fasting ex
periment of Mr. Upton Sinclair, which
created widespread interest, has been
eclipsed in value and in length of
time by Mr. Charles Spencer, an ar
tist of Kent.
Mr. Spencer suffered from an ab
normal appetite; no meal seemed to
satisfy him. At length he began a
diligent study of the theory of fasting
as a cure; then he practiced It for
forty-two days.
In speaking of his experience Mr.
I Spencer said:
"On the first day the pangs of hun
ger were keen enough; so were they
on the second day. On the third day
there seemed little relief; and from
that day onward I experienced no
hunger whatever.
"I continued my work as an artist,
doing some light gardening and walk
ing as exercises. At the end of the
forty-second' day hunger began to re
assert Itself. That is the stage where
many 'tasters' make a mistake. They
determine to fast for a certain num
ber of days.and- even If the craving
for food returns after a certain peri
od they continue to fast.
"When I felt the .hunger , returning
I immediately drank some fruit Juice,
and continued to live on this for two
days. On Thursday night I had my
first square meal. It Is a grave error
for anyone to fast who has not a thor
ough scientific knowledge of the sub
ject. "This experience of mine," he con
cluded, "is' only the beginning of more
on a wider scale, and my wife is to
Join me as well."

publishing a story holding up to ridi

from 1499 to 1535.
The story published by Belgard 'Is

In 1525 and that on July 15th of that
year Joachim, In a panic, fled to the

which he feared. Not a drop of rain

NORWAY BROADENS
GRANT OP SUFFRAGE
'ChrlstianTa .Norway. By a great
majority the Odelstlng has voted to
grant unlversay municipal suffrage to
women over twenty-five years of age.
The new legislation will become ef
fective at the next elections and will
increase the present .women electors
from 127.000 to half a million.
The Odelstlng is the controlling leg
islative body of Norway. The gener
al assembly, the StrothLng, is elected
by popular vote and, upon convening
annually, divides itself Into houses
the Lagtlng and the OdeJating. The
former is composed one one-fourth of
the total members of the Storthing,
and the other of the remaining three-
fourths. The revision of the uovern-
ment belongs exclusively to the Odel
stlng, In which house all new legisla
tion must be first considered Ex
cept In matter In which it was ex
clusive authority the laws adopted by
the Odelsting pass to the Lagting to
d accepted or rejected.
If the two houses do not agree they
hold a common sitting and the final
decision Is given by a majority of
two-thirds of- the Joint body. The
royal veto may be exercised twice,
but If the same bill passes three
Storthings formed by separate elec
tions it becomes a law.
Since 1907 women have been al
lowed to vote under the same condi

onment for shoplifting. The poor wo
man committed her first offense In
1854 and was given a sentence of four
months. No sooner had she come out
of prison than she adopted crime as
a .profession. Since then she has
served sentences totaling forty years
