Clv way one may start off with Wal
I Ji'ulck. who has been biennially sup
K3'cd as a coturesslonul nosslbtllt
nnd a little bird soems to tell ut
hereabouts that Walter Is begtnntiir
to think the accepted time will bt
aloiiR about the fall of 1920 for r
sloiiRh Into the blR pond. Jt Is r
known fact that Walter's tingort
havo been fairly itching to wave
about the end ot his I.lncolucsque
arms In congressional balls and If
they ever wave there no ono Is de
nying the fact that that particular
member of the Dimlck family will
be able to make itself heard.
Lively Seance Fore-eon.
"What a scurrying of tho lovers of
the flesh pots there will bo If Walter
over puts Into motion his' true Clack
amas county spirit of economy and
hurls It at the national lawmakers!
However, in this same legislature
which is coming up in January Wal
ter is not alone by any means in his
congressional aspirations.
For instance, there Is Louis Dian,
'who thinks he has practiced law long
enough in Kugene. Louis is thor
oughly satisfied that he could pre
sent a shining mark in congress and
that numerous Issues ot national
gravity arc awaiting solution at his
hands, Louis Lachmuud, former
mayor ot Salem, also did not dip Into
the senatorial tank for the sole pur
pose of representing Marion county
during the next four years, not by
any means, nnd it Is barely possible
that Louis might wish to oust Haw
ley from the seat which he has lovod
end kept so long.:
W. H. Qoro down Med ford way,
as well as C. ,M. Thomas from the
same ballwlck and Ike Patterson of
fqr.fained Kola, the luimlct that once
lost tho itato capital by ono vote
all of these gents believe they are
congressional timber.
The seance will be quite lively and
each and everyone of the political
birds mentioned will do his durndest
to make a record during the coming
session.

It Is moro than likely that many of

Private Scheme Noted.
While the legislators themselves
havo somo aspirations along tho lino
ot landing other men's Jobs, somo of
the other fry have their little schemes
under way for working the legisla
tors. As an instance, It is reported
about the Statu Capitol, that Spouce
Wormian, sealer of weights nnd
measures, would not be In any way
opposed to seeing tlfe weights and
measuros Job slipped by the legisla
ture out from under Stato Treasurer-
elect O. P. Hoff and put into some
moro convenient placo the public
service commission, for Instance.
Brother Hoff will appoint W. A. Pal
lid as deputy sealer of weights and
measures which will leave Spenco
out of a position that ho likes very
much, nnd which It may be said in
nil candor and fairness, he has hand
led in very good shape.
On the public servico commission
sits Frederick G. Uuchtel, who Is
a very, very good friend indeed of
Spence, and a child who ts taking his
first lesson In the political primer
could understand quite readily why
Spence would prefer to see the
weights nnd measures office consoli
dated with the public service commis
sion. Considerable talk has been passed
also as to Just what Is going to bo
done for Judge Thomas F. Itynn, of
Oregon City, deputy state treasurer.
He will not be retained In the treas
urer's office, that Is certain, but
many Republicans aro Inclined to
feel that some berth should bo made
for him If he wishes It and thero Is
wondorment as to Just what that
berth will be.
CIVIL WAR VETERAN

Britain and her American colonies, and
the tittle set forward to September 1 1.
l'i to this time tho Julian calendar
hud been followed by the Kngtlsh

Caesar In -id M. l It made the year
consist of :iiW days anil six hours, with
nn extra day added to February each

11 minutes ami II seconds longer than
tho true solar year of JUIT days, i hours,

Pope Gregory XIII corrected this

TO FILL HOLES IN PLASTER
Ordinary Wire Screen Declared to De
the Best Backing That Can
De Employed.
Tho electrician Is frequently re
quired, In the Installation of wires In
finished buildings, to cut holes here
and there through the plastered walls
of ceilings. Before these holes can be
replnsteretl some sort of backing must
be put In which will take the place of
the lath. Tho majority of men make
use of old rags'or paper for this pur
pose. The writer, In reptnstorlng holes,
uses a backing of ordinary wire screen.
The wire should be cut about one quar
ter Inch larger than the hole to bo
flllcd, nnd when pressed Into It will be
found to make a good, stiff bucking, as
tho edges hold It llrtnly In place. Far
less plaster will bo necessary with this
backing than with the others, which
will cover the cost of the wire screen,
nnd a more workmanlike ami durable

Protection (or Birds.
Somo twenty Mates of the Union
have provided bird sanctuaries, or
laws for tho proteetlon of migratory
birds on their long 'lllghts In crch
of feeding places. The matter has
even been made the subject of an In
ternational treaty between the United
States and Canada affecting practi
cally all birds that regularly migrate
between the two countries. The
treaty provides. In effect, that no bird
important to agriculture because of
fiiKect-dohtroylng proclivities shall lie
shot at mfj time. Second, that no
open game season on any species of
game limit extend for a longer period
than lx months. Third, that both
the countries xhnll so restrict omui
seasons on game birds us to prevent
them from being taken during the
breeding season.
Noah's Ark In China.
A curious Chinese picture Is of great
antiquity, ami Is supplied to repre
sent X iIi'h ark on tho top of Mount
Am rat. As Is well known, tho re
ligious literature of almost every na
tion and race contains an account of a
deluge, but a Chinese manuscript re
cently unearthed follows very closely
the story as recorded In tho ISlblo.
It Is particularly Interesting lit that
tho roof of the Chinese ark Is of the
gablo variety associated with tho
Noah'K arks which prove such enter
taining toys for our youngsters. The
Chinese picture, however, shows a double-storied
vessel, and, so far from
there being only ono window In the
roof, thero nru windows In every pos
slhlo space. It would be Interesting
If sjirno Chinese scholar or antiquarian
could discover the exact date of the
drawing.
Literature's Deglnnlng In Amer'ca.
The North American Itevluw was es

When the good-natured Monroe, after
a presidency thnt was culled "tho era
of good feeling," went out of olllce, al

DAHLIA IS MAKING FRIENDS
Once Humble Flower Rapidly Delng
Drought to High Position by tho
Matter Florists.
The chrysanthemum Is not to have
ocr, thing Us own way In (he world ol
(lowers. No doubt the chrysanthemum
show gels more of the limelight ol
publicity than a dahlia show, hut tin
gorgeous blossom (hat was once culled
"the Him old maid of tho llower world'
Is having Us "shows" or exhibitions
Jut the same, and the reports have It
that they are attended by large crowd
The dahlia show has heeotuu a rogului
thing In many cities and It Is sold Ihul
there aro persons who can work up
quite as much enthusiasm for the dull
Ha as for the "mum." The dahlia,
from a very simple ami home-loving
llower. has become somewhat of a so
chtl pet.
It was not many years ago that the
ilithlla bloomed In the yards of small
homes. Sometimes It grew In the ft'ou
yard and sometimes In the buck ard
It might he remarked here that the
"yard," especially the "front yard,"
has disappeared. Nobody now has a
front yard. Nobody who l.s anywhere
near up to ditto would hiue such a
thing about the house. The piece of
real estate which wo ued to call the
front yard has become tho "lawn."
Well, formerly tho dahlia growonl
In the yards of humble homes. It had
not broken Into what Is culled "so
clely." Fashionable "grounds" could
not think of admitting such a plain
hardy ami highly coloted citizen of the
llower world as n Mere dahlia. It did
not belong to their set. Hut the merit
of this llower and the high state of cul
ture which It has attained under the
guidance and tuition of muster llorlsts
has forced the proudest gardens to
open their gates or let down their
fences. The dahlia now holds up Its
stately head among the exclusive set
of tuberoses, gludlln. carnations ami
the like.
"SUB ROSA" IMPLIES SECRECY
Term Had Its Origin Long Ago In a
Plot Which Involved Existence
of Sparta.
The origin of the phrase sub rosu,
"under the rose." Implies hecreoy. and
had Its origin In the year -177 It. C, at
which time Pauiiinliirt, the commander
of the confederate tleet of the Spur
tans and Athenians, uis engaged In
Intrigues with Xnsuu for the subju
gallon of Greece to the lVmlun rule,
and for the hand of he monarch's
daughter In marriage. The negotia
tions were carried on In a building
attached to the temple of Minerva,
culled the Braxeii house, the roof of
which was a garden forming n bower
of roses; so that the plot, which was
conducted with the utmost secrecy,
was lilt-rally matured under the roses.
PnuxuuhiH, however, was hctrajod by
one of Ids eiuissarluM, who, by a pro
concerted plan with tho overseers and
counselors of state, the In nuinlmr.
gave them u seert optortunlty to
hear front the lips of I'hiumiuihm the
acknowledgment ut Ids trisiwm. To
escape arrest, he lied to tin- temple
of Minerva, and as the sHiirtlly of the
place forbade intrusion, the people
walled up the edltko so tiuit be might
dlu of starvation.
The Welcome CueiL
There Is scarcely aityono who docs
not wish to bo a welcome guest, et
everyone knows that some persons pos
sess the ability to make themselvi-s
tar ti)oro desirable In the home than
others. Tho vUltor who brings a sun
ny, fresh point of lew with her Is ul
wuys sure of a cordial reception, pro
viding she U careful to curry out cer
tain other requisites which a stieeo
fill guoMt Is wise enough to follow,
whether she has ever aiialyxed tlicm
In this cold fashion or not. It might
bo safe to guens that she has never
thought about It all, hut, guided sim
ply by her sincere tbwlre Hi expros
real fellowship, has Instinctively ful
filled her obligations. Vet when con
sidered, perhaps tho one thing moro
than another which Insures one's re
newed welcome may bo summed up In
the single word, adaptability.
Cane It Mark of High Office.
It has been tho custom of the sur
geon of the king of P.uglaud to carry
u "gold-headed cane." This cane has
been handed down to tho various In
cumbents of tho olllce since tho days
of Dr. John ltadcllffe, who was tho
first "holder of tho cane." It has been
u him I for - years or more by the
greatest physicians nnd surgeons In
the world, who succeeded to It. The
"gold-heatled cane" was adorned by n
crossbar at tho top Instead of n knob,
The fact Is explained by Mtiuk, In
that ltadcllffe, the first owner, was a
rule unto himself, and probably pre
ferred this device as a mark of dis
tinction from the knob used by iniy
sliiuns In general.
