STATE WHEAT CROP IS HIT BY FLOODS Much of Winter Grain Area Will lie Rciteextad to Spring Wheat to Make Goad Loss. By United Pros to the Bend Bulletin) WALLA WALLA, May 24. Vary ing reports of the condition of In land Empire wheat fields have been received here. An unusually wet 'spring, floods, wind storms and a hard winter have done much damage in some districts, while other sec tions have come through the winter in good shape and look forward to a good harvest. Pendleton, in the heart of a big wheat district, reports that recent clear weather has brightened crop prospects. Farmers report that they never before saw wheat grow so rap idly. There is danger they say. that the weather will turn too warm and cause the wheat roots to spread out rather than to go down, deep roots being necessary to enable the crop to withstand' storms and hot winds. ' From the wheat sections in Idaho, especially in Latah and Whitman counties, reports come of varying prospects. A heavy blanket of ice In some sections is said to have smothered out the young plants and the farmers are reseeding with peas and oats: Other parts of Idaho re port that the wheat prospects are im proving with more favorable . "weather. In many districts along the river the recent high water has ruinea a Tich wheat field. Many thousands of acres of wheat land in Oregon, AVashington and Idaho have heeu hit by the flood and are now being rc--seeded with spring wheat. Alfalfa is another staple Eastern Oregon crop which has come through the winter with little success. Som-2 sections renort 50 per cent of their (alfalfa killed, entire fields being lirown and bare.

These Serve, a a Play Scheme a Wall Protection, Borne of the California schools aro equipped with novel Are escaies. which are not only a safeguard, but afford the children as much amusement as a regular playground equipment. One of these Are escapes In Troplco, near I.os Angeles, consists of several .long sheet metal chutes, re-enforoed with angle Iron and secured to the wails of the building. They extend from an Iron platform on the second door, which leads from the main corridor. Sepa rate chutes are provided fur the boys and girls. The teachers encourage the use of the slides as an amusement to accus tom the children to them. Each slide ends in a slight upward curve to check the momentum of the descent. At the point where the children reach the ground a pile of loose sand breaks the fall. In Venice. Cal.. a spiral chute Is em ployed, which Is inclosed In a cylin drical metal casing. This Is entered from a platform leading from the up per story.- I.Ike the straight slide. It is used us an amusement devl.-e by the pupils. A local hospital makes use of one of the same desigu. Futility of" No Trespass" Signs. In the American .Magazine David Grayson comments as follows. on a farmer who covered his laud with "No Trespass" signs: , "1 did not need to enter bis fields, nor climb bis bill, nor walk by his brook. But as the springs passed and the autumns whitened into wifiter I came into more and more complete possession of all those fields that be so Jealously posted. I looked with strange Joy upon bis hill, saw April blossom in hi.i orchard and May color the wild grape leaves along bis walls. June I smelled In the sweet vernal of his bay fields, and from the October of his maples and beeches I gathered rich crops and put up no hostile signs of ownership, paid no taxes, worried over no mortgage and often marveled that he should be so poor within bis posted domain and I so rich without" Combs and the Hair. The best comb for the bnir Is the hard rubber coarse comb with smooth, rounded edges that will nut cut the hair. A fine comb has many disadvan tages; therefore the all coarse comb Is to be preferred. A metal tooth comb tends to pull out good hair and Is liable to wound and scratch the scalp. Never use a comb the teeth of wbl"b are broken. One should never try to save money at the expense of a good comb. The comb should be washed frequently in water in which ammonia has been added. Scrub out the teeth with a nail brush and soap. A sun bath la also good for the comb. Perfectly Natural.

Nickel ami tin tiro tlio only Important metals that have not been found In paying quantities among our mineral resources, alt hough the fact that we are the lamest consumers of tin pinto hi the world has stimulated the search. Tin oro in small quantities has been found in sevcrul "places In the United States, but most of what we use comes from Cornwall, lit England; llntika, hi the East Indies, and Malacca, In south ern Asia. Tin is a metal that has played an Im. portant part In the history of the world. Combined with copper to make bronze, it was doubtless tho tlrst metal that mau converted to his use. Weap ons, tools and utensils mado of bronze were used during a long period before Iron and steel came Into use. Tho L'uited States now uses lu the manu facture of tin cans as much tin plate as all other countries together use for all purposes. , There Is no substitute for tin. Trice has little effect ou consumption, which Is not true of other metals. If tin cost la cents a pound we ubortd per haps put a thicker coating on our plates and make better solder and bab bitt metul, but If It were a dollar a pound we should still have to use it for nearly every one of the purpose for which It is uow employed. The lack of tin Is one of the few things that keep the United States from being self sufficient. If wo were suddculy deprived of our supply of tin and solder we should soon bavo seri ous sanitary troubles. Youth's Com panion. EXPERTS IN THE WATER. The Japanese- Are Masters of Many Tricks of Swimming. Tho Japanese are extremely fond of swimming, and among the younger generation of students and the coast population there are some splendid lung distance swimmers. Schools of natation teach the art in a systematic muiincr, and, although the livst racing records of Japan arc not equal to tho western, a Japanese expert cau ier form some truly wonderful feats. For example, be can Jump into deep water and maintain his position with the water no higher than the loins, while he Ores a gun. writes ou a state, pal.'its a picture on a fan with a brush or moves freely In every direction as If he were walking on solid ground. The expert, while he rarely emulates the graceful high dive of the American or the European, can leap from a great height and strike the surface of the water with his chest without sinking or wetting bis face and bead. In some mysterious way he contrives to escape tho painful consequences which the Impact would inevitably cause to the foreigner who should try this feat. It Is said that the old time samurai fre quently made use of this trick when crossing a river or stream. In such cases they carried their armor and weupoiiH on their beads. The anions "crawl" stroke, which occidental swimmers first acquired not very long ago, has been known and practiced lu Japan for hundreds of years. Los Angeles Times. Frilled Lizards. Some lizards are able to walk on tbeir bind legs, of which the most re markable example is the frilled lizard of Australia, a iiowerful form, which attains a length of about three feet.

Tho Sa voy ballroom chandeliers are gath ering cobwebs. Tho Waldorf tea rooms are now sometimes used for ten. Private dances are. If possible, more taboo than public affairs. The recent wrath aroused by Lord and l.ady ('urxon, who entertained a dozen guests at an informal dance in their home, has put the fear of the malcontents who write letters to tho editors In the hearts of any who would dance In the future.
