To an Innocent bystander ft would eeem that the function of the Com merdal club committee on fire pro tection was "to keep after the city council until results were obtained. If obtaining results necessitated find ing money, or developing way and means, first, the committee should work with the council to this end. This being done, it could aid in form ing a volunteer department. Beyond that it would seem as though it were unnecessary for the committee to go. Recommendations for additions to the fire equipment have been made by deputy fire marshals who appar ently knew their business. They made an estimate of the cost. The immediate question is simply whether or not the money can be found to purchase this material and, if it can be, whether or not the council will purchase it. If it is purchased, or if it is not, there is a collateral question, namely, the organization of a volunteer de partment. This also will require some money which must come from the council. If the council will fur niBh It the committee can help in the organization of the volunteers. If the council will not, or cannot, fur nish the money, it will be up to the committee to suggest how the money tan bo found. THE NEXT LIBERTY LOAN. On September 28 will open the sale of tho fourth Issue of Liberty bonds. What the total will bo, what the quota for the state, what the county quota, is not yet known, hut it seems probable that the amount will he so largo as to make the Deschutes county quota at least as much as was subscribed on tho third loan. This puhscrlptlon, It will bo remembered, was 286,100, against a quota of $117,000. If wo do as well next month as wo did last spring we shall roach (ho goal easily. Although subscriptions to tho lonn will not be taken by the banks until the oponing day, it is the hope of the campaign managers that long before then tho people will have mndo up their minds to take bonds in tho necessary nmounts so that Oregon's, quotn will bo reached In a few min utoB on tho opcnlnig day. To that end tho questionnaire card will be uaed as in tho last drive and indi vidual quotas will be Hot. While we are waiting for tho announcement let's make up our minds that we ithnll be among tho first again. In connection with the repairs be ing made on the stool bridge above the power company dam it would bo n good plan to place netting along tho rail by tho foot walk. There nro wide spaces between the pipe rail through which a child could easily fall, and that Is the place .m tho bridge most attractive to a child and at tho same time tho most dan gerous. A netting would cost com paratively little and it would bring relief to many a parent whoso chil dren have to use tho bridge. Mr. McAdOO has urged that all railroad employes remember the courtesy that is duo the public, Treatment of the public by railroads under government control will bo one of the tests of the service, From tho look of tho court room yesterday afternoon, there am still a number of non-fighters In town whoso work is not very pressing. INSCRIPTION ON FISH'S TAIL Mystery to Natives of Zanzibar, Though Sclentlats Say It Is Noth- ing Much Out of the Ordinary. A strange fish wus recently caught at Zanzibar with Arabic characters upon Its tail. The fish was not one of a large haul, but was caught by a single fisherman, who brought It to the fish market. There It remained for some time, having no purchaser, as it was a strange fish and one that had never been swen before in those wa ters. Finally an Indian of the sect called "Memcn" purchased It and, on the strange maxkings being noticed, it was taken to a widely-known Arab scholar, who, deciphered the inscrip tion. It was afterward taken to the sultan, who also recognized the word ing. That night 3,000 rupees was offered for the fish and refused, and on the following duy 5,000 rupees was re fused, according to Scientific Amer ican. The original price paid for the fish was 5 pice (about 3 cents) and it was eventually decided to have It pre served. For this purpose it was taken to the government laboratory, where it was treated with formaline. It has since been placed on public exhibition, There are two distinct Inscriptions on the tail, one on each side. On the one side It reads "Lalllaha Illalah" ("There Is no God but Allah") and on the other 'Shani Allah" ("A warning sent from Allah"). There is no sus picion of anything in the nature of a fake about the matter and the mystery Is so complete that no explanation of the strange phenomenon is forthcom ing. The Arabic lettering is perfectly plain and the discovery has caused wonderment throughout the Moham medan community of Zanzibar. It was identified as holacarrthus semiclrculatus, Cuv. et Val., a widely distributed Indo-Paciflc species of chnetontidae. An authority on zoology considers the markings as falling with In the limits of normal variation of the species. EXERCISE OF WILL NEEDED No Reason Why Women Should Not Obtain Maximum of Physical Strength and Power. Women can obtain greater physical strength and power so soon as they determine to do so, and adopt a dif ferent mode of living. There Is abso lutely nothing In the woman's organi zation that forbids It, as we are finding out more and more daily. Many young women are too lazy to grow strong. They canuot walk a dozen blocks, or do anything that calls for the slight est physical strength. Why? Because there is any Inherent quality In the woman's body forbidding It? Not nt all. Because they never have done It. There Is no other reason on earth. The women who are growing strong er mentally and physically can smile at the objectors who tell them they cannot do this or that, and answer by doing what they are accused of being Incapable of doing. But the more tim id and younger ones, who yet hesitate to venture into new fields of activity in the face of opposition and ridicule, need the assistance of professional opinion and the encouragement of those who have gone before.

We have many Insect products of no small value. Most familiar are honey and wax from the bee. There is also a Chinese bug which secretes a kind of grease on various trees. This hardens Into wax, and Is collected, melted and purified, when It becomes white and glossy In appear ance, and when mixed with oil can be made into candles. The cochineal, a scale Insect living on cacti In the Amer ican tropics, besides having medlcinnl qualities, yields the two dyes called carmine and lake. While nowadays most dyes are chemicnlly made, the natural dye of the cochineal is em ployed In coloring soldiers uniforms, as it stands the weather better than commercial ayes, The pupae of a Mex ican black fly which swarms In great quantities near Lake Texcon are used as fertilizer. No enlargement Is need ed on the work of the precious silk worm a native of China which is now raised here also. Commercial shellac Is obtained by melting Inc. the resinous substance produced by an East Indian scale lusect and deposited in a crust on twigs to contain the Insect and its eggs. The export value of lac from Indian ports in one year has risen as high as 3:1,000,000 rupees. Lac has also been used to make dyes, but while the lac industry is a growing one, the em ployment of lac In making dyes has probably had Its day. The best lac is obtained from Beugul and the central province of India. It is also used as stiffening for hats, sealing wax, as an ingredient of lithographic ink.
