CHEAPENING THE UNIFORM.
Wearing portions of an army uni
form and stating thai he is a former
soldier a young man Is now calling
at Bend homes soliciting subscrip
tions for a magazine. . As a part of
his sales talk he says that what he
makes in this work is to be used in
helping to pay for an education.
Working in the day times he sees
chiefly housewives and is successful
In persuading them to pay the nomi
nal snm asked for the magazine.
This Is the sort of use of the uni
form that Is very properly objected
to by the War department and by
the American Legion. If this solici
tor can be found it should be made
clear to him that what he is doing
will not be tolerated here.
We think the people of Bend will
go as far as any to aid an ez-serrice
man who needs aid. Any who need
aid, however, ought to be getting It
on the strength of their stories with
out any help In the way of a portion
of the uniform. The uniform is not
a badge of mendicancy. Any use of
It as such simply cheapens it. Then,
too, if the uniform is to be an aid
In begging it is altogether too easy
for a man who never rightfully was
in one to obtain one and use it.
So far as the purpose of the young
man In question to obtain an educa
tion Is concerned he ought to know
that he can obtain that, if he really
wants to do so, in surer ways. The
people of Oregon, at the last elec
tion, voted aid for soldiers who want
to attend any of the educational in
stitutions of. the state. ! With this
assistance and what' may be earned
while In College " any ' young man
with purpose can get an education.
Scores have done so in the past with
out the extra aid now offered.
With this opportunity' open some
doubt Is cast on such subscription
soliciting activities as those in ques
tion,' and we suggest that house
wives hesitate before turning money
over. '
SAHARA MAY BE RECLAIMED
Good Possibility of Its Being Made
Into a Reasonably Productive
Agricultural Country.
That the Sahara will some day
"blossom like the rose," or at any rate
like a reasonably productive agricul
tural country, is the gist of an article
by J. Nicholas Brusse In La Nutlon of
Paris. For more tban a quarter of a
century, Sir. Brusse declares, although
people in general have thought of the
Sahara as an enormous, permanently
hopeless expanse of sand, those ac
quainted with the result of a u
graphical survey conducted about 1893
have known also that the Sahara Is
not absolutely unfit for either plant or
animal life. Rain falls sometimes In
the great desert and there ore under
ground streams that could be made
available for water. The present oases
could be developed and others created,
provided a beginning were' made by
establishing strategic roads ond Intro
duclng a sense of law and order among
the desert tribes for the security of
. those who were trying to develop the
country. In Its entirety the region In
cluded In the 8nhora contains already
R good deal of spontaneous vegeta
tion j It grows a number of forage
plants and shrubs that serve ss pas
turage for caravans, and could doubt
less be improved and made valuable
by cultivation. Fig trees. apricots,
peaches, grapes and various cereals
have been grown in the oases.

Mr. Sterne met the prince again

' At once a man standing near turned

prince unhesitatingly accepted. When

Shells Help Oil Geologist.
The little jellylike animals which
the scientist calls Foramlnlfera swnrm
so abundantly In the sea that their
tiny cast-off shells In some places
make up a considerable part of the
sediments which are laid down on
tho sea bottom and which In time
may become beds of rock In a land
area. The small size and the com
pactness of these shells protect them
from some of the accidents that be
fall the remains of larger animals, so
that In many samples of well1 borings
the Foramlnlfera are the only" shells
that have survived In recognlzablo
form the vicissitudes of drilling. In
the hands of the specialist trained to
Identify ' fossils, ' the Fornmlnlfers
may furnish the only available clue
to the age of rock Inclosing them'
ond consequently to the existence of
strata or structure favorable or un
favorable to the accumulation of oil.

How Word "Booze" Originated.
In the Pennsylvania museum. Memo
rial hnll In Falrmount park. Phila
delphia, can he seen a collection of
highly decorated old bottles, ami the
one which attracts most attention Is
the log cabin whisky bottle, molded In
the shape of a bouse. On one end Is
the Inscription "120 Wnlnut street,
Philadelphia." together with the date,
which Is "1840," on the front of the
roof. On the hack Is stamped in hold
letters. "E. G. Booz's old cabin
whisky."
This erstwhile vendor of spirituous
liquor Is snld to be responsible for
the use In America of the slang ap
pellation "booze," by which nil kinds
of Intoxicating drinks are known to
day. Although some etymologist give
It as being, derived from the Hindu
stani word "boozn," meaning to drink,
while others claim It Is from the
Dutch "huyzen" to tipple. The term
was good English In the fourteenth
century.

Gllson Must Show Hand.
Councilman McPherson questioned
the advisability of granting a fran
chise until the financial resources of
the petitioner could be more clearly
determined, and Councilman Rhodes
doubted the wisdom of allowing tTO
public service corporations In the
city, setting forth the theory that
lhere Is not enough business for
more-than one, and that with two
attempting operation, the quality of
service given would suffer, Instead of
being bettered. . '
j Councilman Benson believed In
granting, the franchise, with a ii.it
limit clause attached, and predicted
that competition might hasten muni
cipal ownership. Mayor Easte ad
mitted that he considered city owner
ship and management to be desira
ble, and that this might come within
another five years, but that it would
be much lesa expensive for Bend to
take over one water system instead
of two.- The discussion was ended
by a motion by Mr. McPherson pro
viding that the ordinance be tabled
until (he next regitluf 'mooting, ""by

suror. Because John E. Borg, iu erecting
a residence An . Highland addition
recently, , failed to understand the
plat of the addition and built his
house facing away from the slreot,
a petition from the Bend Company
wits Introduced asking tor the vaca
tion, of Klamath avenue and the ro
establlshinent of the street to remedy
the error of the builder. As no
others had' previously built, the
change will have no detrimental ef

it Is considered that there will be
little objection. The petition was re

Confectionery of Ancient Egypt
The Invreitlnn of confectionery, an
English writer guesses. Is due to Noah,
who "first hit on the idea of boiling
down the starch of the wheat and the
Juice of the grape.' The result wn
a paste, snld to be the original of
our present day Turkish delight.'
Among the .ancient Egyptians whole
fruits, particularly figs and dates,
were used for flavoring purposes, the
latter especlnlly for preservco nnd
cakes. In old tombs date sweet
meats have been found, also records
of honey Jellies. The making' of con
fectionery. In fact, goes bock 8,400
years, proof of which Is to be found
on the walls of Egyptian tombs."
