Uniform motor laws for Oregon, Washington, Cali fornia and Idaho are being urged by Sam A. Kozer, and eventually should include all of the states. An Indianan used a stocking to hoard his savings. Contrary to quite a general result, the money was neither stolen,burned nor otherwise destroyed. When his widow came to pay the funeral expenses it was found that the money was counterfeit. Though nmny people have become export In the nrt of removing irritat ing particles from the eves of others, a few words on this subject will ii"f he out of plnoe. In removing a for eign particle from the eye, ask the pit tlent to look down, and then take h"U! of the eyelash with thumb ami fore- nttiv,,e tl,.i 1 ...ill tli.. ..v.. secretary of state. It would be an excellent arrangement, I u.f downward ..mi slightly away frinu rne eyennu. ;oxt evert, or turn mu-K. the eyelid y placing midway between the eyelashes and eyeball the tip of the thumb of the right hand and make tbo sauie movement that would be re- , quired to turn back the edge of a cout sleeve.. If the particle Is located on the In terior of the upper lid It may he re moved with a clean handkerchief or a piece of clean cotton placed on the end of a toothpick or match. If the irritating substance Is not on the upper Hd try to find It in the same manner on the lower lid and remove it In the same way. When the particle is im bedded In the cornea, or covering of the eyeball. It Is best to consult a phy sician or eye specialist. After remov ing the particle from the eye it Is ad visable to Irrigate the delicate mem ber with boric acid. Under no circumstances should any one touch the eye with a handkerchief other agent that has been mois tened with saliva or with the tip of the tongue. In treating the eyes with some kind of liquid medicine one should take care never to Invert the dropper after the solution has been drawn into the rubber end downward and the fluid permitted to run into the rubber and then back Into the glass as the solution will very likely contain' particles of powder that have washed off the rub ber bulb, and these may irritate the eyes. Always hold un the rubber end of the dropper. The fluid should never j be dropped directly on the eyeball un- I less the physician has so advised, j The proper practice is to draw down j the lower lid and place the drops on ! the exposed inner surface of the lid. One or two drops are always sufficient and it is only waste to use more. Floyd W. Tarsons in the Saturday Eve ning Post. Had the Wrong Car.

Even at a time when good deeds are uppermost in the minds of humanity, what is more fitting than, that good cheer be freely extended to the unfortunate the victim of the white plague. And this is not all. A considerable part of the money aenvea irom tne sale ot seals is devoted to removing the cause of tuberculosis. Conceded by med ical authorities to be a preventable disease, however, there must be education in sanitation and right living to entirely eradicate the malady. If one of these little seals could adorn every piece of mail matter between i ' i i .i ... now ana nnstmas time, mere would be fewer vacant chairs and fewer dust-covered toys, a year hence. Portland is making preliminary plans for holding a uauunai exposition m iyzo in commemoration of the Jinking or the east with th west and the n orb with the south by means of paved highways from New York to romand and irom Mexico to the British Columbia line, lne project is to far surpass in magnitude any thing ever before attempted on the coast. Portland has acquired the habit of doing things big things and itself doing them well. The exposition undertaking in itself will be a man-size proposition, but if it is to commemorate the building of paved highways from coast to coast and border to border, there will 'have to tie more speed m highway construction during the coming four years than there has been during the pdbi xew. years or ine exposition will have to be delaved.

But it has other uses which the skin hasn't Bark Isn't wood, and it Isn't formed as wood Is formed. It covers the wood, and it is generally an easy matter to separate the bark from the wood. Hemp and jute and flax are all bark the outside covering of certain vege table growths. Bark is composed of three layers of tissues. The Inside layer conducts food to the plant, and under a mag nifying glass is seen to be made up of tiny fibers. Then there is the "green zone," as it is called, and this also Is fibrous, and helps feed the plant. The outside layer Is cork, and Is really dead. That Is, these cork cells devel op and die immediately, so cne really sees only a dead tree when he looks at the bark. The cork of commerce Is the bark of a certain kind of trop ical tree, but the outer layer of bark of all trees Is technically known as cork, and the little cells going to make It -up are called cork!
