A Kansas Cltian relates that recent
ly while on a trip about the environs
of Sun Diego and Coronado beach In
a sight Beeing motor car, the driver
pointed out various land holdings,
buildings, hotels, etc., as the property
of J. D. Spreckels Jr., the sugar mag
nate. Even the road over which they
bowled was privately owned by
Spreckels. As the car, following the
winding road, drew near the bay, a
little girl asked: "Mama, -who owns
the bay?" Mama smiled and said,
"Why, dearie, God owns the bay."
"Well," Bald the puzzled child, "how
did he get It away from Mr. Spreck

Judges' Wigs.
The wig is only worn by English
barristers to give them a stern, judi
cial appearance, and no one can say
that it falls in this respect The cus
tom was originated by a French Judge
In the seventeenth century when, hap
pening to don a marquis' wig one day,
he found it gave him such a stern and
dignified appearance that he decided
to get one for himself and wear it at
all times In court. This he did, and
the result wan so satisfactory from a
legal point of view that not only the
- Judges, but barristers alBO, took up
the custom throughout Europe. Lon

He Could Wield an Ax.
The skill of the old Maine shipbuild
ers In the use of the adz and broadaz
was wonderful. One old time yarn is
of a carpenter who applied very drunk
at a shipyard for employment. In or
der to have a little fun with him the
foreman set him to give a proof of his
skill by hewing out a wooden bolt witn
no chopping block but a stone. The
carpenter accomplished his difficult
task without marring the keen euge 01
the broadax and showed the foreman
a neatly made bolt. Then he brought
the ax down with a terrific blow that
shattered Its edge upon the stone. "1
can hew fust rate on your chopping
block," ho hiccoughed, "but I'll be
blamed if I can make the ax stick in
It when I git through." The story runs
that the foreman lost no time In em
ploying such a workman.
How to Heal
Skin'Diseases
A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and Inexpensive,
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ring
worm, rashes and
similar Itching, burn
ing skin troubles.
At any reliable
druggist's get a Jar
of reslnol ointment
and a cake of res
lnol soap. These are not at all ex-
pensive. With the reslnol soap and
warm water bathe the affected parta
thoroughly, until they are free from
crusts and the skin is softened. Dry
very gently, spread on a thin layer ol
the reslnol ointment, and cover with
a light bandage if necessary to pro
tect the clothing. This should be done
twioe a day. Usually the distressing
Itching and burning stop with the first
treatment, and the skin soon becomes
clear and healthy again, sample tree,

EMPLOYERS AID
NEW DEFENSE PIAN
Trained Army of 800,000 Men
At Uncle Sam's Call.
60-DAY VACATIONS fOR All WORKERS
Security of Positions and Earnings
' Is Essential Part of Proposition
Now Interesting Officials.
Washington, D. C. Employers
throughout the United States corpor
ations, manufacturers, professional
men, tradesmen and business men of
all classes are to be asked to contrib
ute as their share in the national de
fense permission for their employe
to engage, without serious financial
loss, in two months' military training
during each of three years.
This is an essential part of the ad
ministration's plan for raising a citi
zen army of 800,000 men in six years,
which, with the regular army of 140,
000 men and 300,000 reserves, would
give a trained force, exclusive of state
militia, of about 1,200,000 in the event
of war.
The success of the plan, officials ad
mit, depends not on the appropriation
of congress, for its cost will be com
paratively small, but on the patriotic
response of employers to whom an ap
peal will be made to furlough as many
men each year, at different seasons,
as they can spare and who wish to
join the proposed continental army. :
Administration officials are conn
dent that, even though It is proposed
to enlist only 133,000 men In the year
in the continentals, or a total of near
ly 800,000 In the first six-year period,,
more than that number would be at
tracted by the outdoor life of a mili
tary camp If they could be assured by
their employers that their positions
would not be lost and their earnings
seriously decreased.
The proposed enlistment requires
two months' service for each of three
years and liability for service during
the remaining three years only in
event of war.
The army plans for more than 1,000,
000 trained men In six years, and the
navy' program of ten dreadnoughts
and six battle cruisers within five
years, both of which will be presented
to congress with the indorsement of
President Wilson, were the absorbing
topics of interest here.

England Demands 3,000,000 Men.
London. "Great Britain needs J,
000,000 more men by spring."
This declaration was made Monday
by Brigadier-General Sir Erick
Swayne, director of recruiting in the
northern command, in a speech at
Hull.
General Swayne estimated that Ger
many still has between 9,000,000 and
10,600,000 men from the ages of 18 to
46, and that, therefore, it was useless
to talk about wearing out Germany.
In the spring, said he, Germany would
lose more men than the allies, which
would balance the numbers of the al
lies and the central powers, but if
Great Britain should raise 3,000,000 ad
ditional men, Germany probably would
recognise that it would be fruitless to
continue. , ,

Villa Denies Confiscation Order.
El Paso. General Villa, in a tele

he had authorised confiscation of
American mining property in Chihua

plained that the recent decree threat
ening confiscation of the American
Smelting & Refining properties and
others in Mexico had been Issued by

Wheat Farmers Holding Firmly.
Portland The Merchants Exchange
was closed Tuesday on account of the
holiday. The country wheat markets
were also quiet
Grain farmers in the interior are
holding their wheat firmly In antici
pation of higher prices. They nave
followed this policy for the first two
months of the season and are well sat
isfied with the results. As most of
them are Independent they are not
likely to upset values by a general
selling movement. As an indication
of the way supplies are being held
back in the country It Is cited that on
the lines of the Spokane & Inland rail
way there are now 1,366,678 bags of
wheat, against 940,000 bags at this
time last year.
Broomhall In his weekly Internation
al review says:
"The general position of the market
Is about unchanged with the under
tone strong and an advancing tenden
cy. "The evidence Is becoming increas
ingly plain that the world's supply of
wheat will be abundant for the season,
and the abnormally large receipts in
both the United States and Winnipeg
of spring wheat indicate that the per
iod of scarcity is about ending and re
cent large purchases, In a quiet way,
Indicate that a good share of these
supplies will eventually reaoh the Uni
ted Kingdom.
"The urgent demand, which Is be
coming pronounced, from Mediterran
ean countries, and the extraordinary
strength In freights, may prevent any
immediate decline,

. "Safety first" Lessens life loss.
Chicago, 111. The Union Paclflo
railroad system will be given an ab
solutely clean bill on "Passengers
Killed" during; the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1916, in the report of the In
terstate Commerce commission. And
the number of passengers Injured, for
the same period; will show almost
negligible In the commission's report
Two years ago the Union Pacific
system adopted a motto of "Safety
First." Every employe, regardless of
his position, was enlisted In the work
of making the Union Pacific not only
as safe as any other system -in jthe
country, but ' absolutely safe for the
traveling public as well as lor the employes.
The clean bill which the Interstate
Commerce commission's report will
show is the result of that "safety"
campaign.
Not one passenger was killed on the
entire Union Paciflo system, from end
to end, main line and branch lines,
during the last fiscal year. In that
period 8,951,364 passengers entrusted
themselves on the thousands of miles
of branch roads of Union Pacific, and
upon the main line trains from Omaha
to Portland, Seattle and Spokane,
from Kansas City to Denver and Chey
enne, and not one single passenger
lost his life, although, together, these
8,951,364 passengers traveled nearly
one billion miles during that year. Not
only does this apply to those passen
gera actually on board the trains, but
it includes those who were preparing
to go aboard, or who were leaving the
trains of the company. Regardless of
whether the blame lay with the rail
road, or was due to the grossest, most
flagrant carelessness on the part of
the passenger, the fact remains that
during the fiscal year ending June 30,
1915, not one single Union Pacific
passenger was killed.
But Union Pacific's "Safety First"
campaign la not benefiting passengers
alone. Employes are reaping hand
some returns on the efforts they are
making to prevent accidents to each
other,
. Germans Execute Woman.
London The foreign office has been

Miss Edith Cavell, lately the head of
a large training school in Brussels,
who was arrested August - 5 by the
German authorities in Brussels, was
executed October 13 after sentence of
death had been passed on her. It is
understood that the charge against
Miss CavelL was that she harbored
fugitive British and ' French soldiers
and Belgians of military - age and had
assisted them to escape from Belgium
in order to join their colors.
President Favors Wool Tariff.
Washington, D. C. President Wil
son is reported by members of con
gress who have talked with him as fa
voring the placing of some duty on
wool not that he believes that wool
needs any protection, but that he be
lieves a wool tariff will aid in wiping
out the deficit in the treasury. It is
reported that the President will rec
ommend a duty on wool when he asks
congress to repeal the free sugar
clause of the Underwood act How
much duty the President will recom
mend is not yet determined.

now cleared "the Baltic sea and the
Gulf of Bothnia entirely of German

German ship which was south-bound

started their campaign has either been
sunk or run aground, it adds. Of 60
German ore carriers, 87 are virtually
interned in Swedish ports, the corre
spondent declares.

Women Triumph lr Kansas.
Out in Kansas where they strive to
please, the women ought to have small
cause for complaint If It Is possible to
deprive the sex of that inalienable
right. - - :
Here are some of the things a wo
man of the Sunflower state may legal
ly do:
Can take back her maiden name af
ter her husband is dead, without any
legal process or legislative act
Can keep her own name when she
Is married.
Can persuade her husband to take
her name and give up his family name
if she does not like It.
Can keep her maiden name and her
husband can keep his.
Can retain her maiden name for bus
iness transactions and use her hus
band's name for social affairs.
If wife does not like either her own
or husband's family name they can
change to a name that does suit.
A woman can wear men's clothing
without any restriction except that she
must- not pose as a man.
She can vote at every election.
She can hold any office in the state
and run for congress.
As Kansas probably puts It. a wo
man there can do almost anything a
man can. That's so. The men's cloth
ing provision even permits her to
scratch a match as some men do. Only
thing she seems debarred from is "pos
ing as a man," which is Impossible, of
course, for most of them, at least

He Saved the Patent Office.
When M the war of 1812 the British
who had taken Washington, trained
their guns upon the patent office Dr.
Thornton, throwing himself directly
before the guns, cried:
"Are you Englishmen or Goths and
Vandals? This is the patent office a
depository of the ingenuity and inven
tions of (he American nation in which
the whole civilized world is interested.
Would you destroy it? Then let the
charge pass through my body."
And the building was spared. Twenty-four
years afterward, however, it
was destroyed by fire, together with
everything In It.
The Tibetan penal code is curious.
Murder Is punished with a fine vary
ing according to the Importance of the
slain, tbeft by a fine of seven to one
hundred times the value of the article
stolen. Here, again, the fine depends
on the social importance of the person
from whom the theft has been commit
ted. The harborer of a thief is looked
upon as a worse criminal than the
'tsief himself. Ordeals by fire and by
boiling water are still used as proofs
of innocenco or guilt, exactly as was
the custom in Europe In the middle
sges. And If the lamas never Inflict
death they are adepts at torture.
