Believes Adam and Eve Wrote a Poem or Two (By H. B. Tourtel, Asst. Editor of the Daily News.) London, Aug. 26. Angels with flaming swords were poised to guard the gates of Eden after the expulsion of Adam and Eve. Jn spite of evidence to the contrary, I have an idea that they Adam and Eve must have written some poems. That was probably how th serpent was introduced into the world. The attitude of the average per son to poetry and poets is frankly hostile. A thief, murderer, ano fender against any moral law has the right to trial. A poet, a man or woman who dreams and tries to put the dream into beautiful lan guage, is really considered some one who Is not quite a fit associate for decent people. "Here's a poet! Heave a brick at him!" seems to be a general axiom of the modern world. Any third-rate artist is allowed to take up valuable space in front of some picturesque building, i plant all the professional paraph ernalia in some beauty spot, and to outrage nature on canvas without any vocal protest. In fact, it is more likely than not that he or she will be welcomed by a chorus of "My: How Lovely!" The musician who invades the silence is never ostracised. He or she is allowed to cheat the hair dresser at wili, to flaunt horrible costumes in the face of a tolerant world, and is probably labelled as an interesting person. The poor poet until he feas stormed the heights of Parnassus victoriously is a pariah, an outcast a thing scarcely worthy of being considered a human being. house. The big pole was shattered and splinters from it which fell to the street were no larger than match wood. The building is one of the largest In the New York suburban secwon.

In the vehicle were Norman Cook and family of Gervais, who were returning from Woodburn where they had been at tending church. Almost opposite the Sam H. Brown home they found themselves betwen two cars each going in op posite direction. Mr. Crawford put on his dimmer and the light from the other car made it impossible for him to see the wagon In front of him. He was driving very slow an Farm Home Saved. Aurora. Or., Aug. 26. B. J. Grelm, who was here the fore part of the week from the White dis trict, tells of an exciting time they had at his place a few days ago with fire. Only for the aid of Fry Brothers' threshing crew, he salo. he would have sustained the loss of his home and all of his grain in the field. Citizens from Aurora and Hubbard also rendered assistance. l. I w...l.t..l.- hl ,jehi,n,i ' Passes lilt; Lord Jellicoe Criticised by Naval Writers London. Aug. 26. In January, omitting the French and Japanese destroyers, we had 320 torpedo boat destroyers, of which 283 were in the home waters and by June the number in home waters had in creased by fifty-eight, but only six of these were American boats and two were old boats, presumably un der repair by January," wirtes A. H. Pollen, a well known naval wri ter, in his criticism of Lord Jelli coe's new book, "The Crisis of the Naval War," in the Sunday Times. "The other fifty were new Brit ish vessels. In June, then, we had 336 destroyers available lor all our needs. The American contribution has not increased our stock by even 2 per cent," he continues. This tirade is launched against the statement, "the assistance from the United States, thta it was hoped was now in sight, made the pros pect of Buccess following on the adoption of the convoy system tor more favorable," on page 117 or Lord Jellicoe's new book. The statement is made by Lord Jellicoe after computing the month ...

"Accidental death by suffocation while attempt ing to frighten his parents" was the verdict of the coroner s jury into the death of William Douglas, aged fourteen, of this city. The boy hang ed himself. Mrs. A. W. Douglas, the boy's mother, testified that she had scold ed William several times that morn ing for various misdeeds, "and he had looked at me with tears in his eyes and said that I'd be sorry." Tobacco Crop Is Hurt by Weather Boston, Aug. 26. Reports re ceived at the State Department of Agriculture show the tobacco crop in Massachussetts had ben hard hit by unfavorable weather, together with the havoc worked by numer ous electrical storms. Around the cities of Northampton and Hatfield severe gales have blown dbwn to bacco barns, which are for the most part lightly built structures, and heavy winds have done much dam age to the high stalks which pro duce the universal weed. Tobacco farmers do not expect to lose greatly by the damage done to the growing crop, as they say the production will be lighter and that leaf tobacco will therefore bring higher prices. Wife Says Hubby DrewGuny Caused Her To "Desert" Asserting that her husband haa driven herself and daughter from their home, using a shotgun as an argument, Emilie A. M. Fandrich filed a reply Tuesday to Dunlei Fundrich's assertions that she had deserted him.

She asks for a decree of divorce and maintenance amounts for their dau ghter and that she be given custody of the child. In relating the gun incident, Mrs. Fandrich claims that with her dau ghter she had returned to their home after attending church and that her husband met them at the door and brandishing the firearm refused to admit them.
