THE FIRE QUESTION.
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

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. Montreal

INSECT PRODUCTS OF VALUE
Many Small Creatures Make Contribu
tions to the Country's Wealth of
No Insignificant Amount.
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. In elec
trical work and In the manufacture of

Here and there on the boulevards

menace to Paris has utterly failed to

At a recent meeting of the Cham

the big establishments were curtail

Mme. Paquln, president of the
