CHILEAN GOLD RESERVE HERE Peculiar Deal by Which It Wat Transferred From Germany to the United States. At the outbreak of the war, ay the London Economist, the Chilean government owned a large uniount of gold In Germany, which was destined to form a basis for its note Issue, end was held up by the blockade. So were rast quantities of nitrates, bought from German producers in Chile for export to Germany, and their stoppage compelled the German nitrate pro dacer to Chile to cease working. These producers too were In debt to the Chilean government. Thnt gor eminent therefore bought tho nltrnte, paying for It by drafts on Berlin drawn against the gold which It could not reach. It then sold the nitrate la tho United States to the HuPont Ke plosives company, receiving payment In gold In New York. Thus It trauo ferred Its gold reserve from Germany to the United State, and Incidentally added to the stock of raw material to be converted Into explosives where with to defeat German troops. The Seal has naturally been Interpreted la France as a preliminary step toward a breach with Germany, but It was carried out with tho sanction of tb German government. Partly, no doubt, the latter desired to extrlcato Its sub jects In Chile and an Important Ham burg mercantile firm from their seri ous pecuniary difficulties, but it must also have been moved by an extreme anxiety to keep on good terms with Chile, which contains a large German population and Is an Important field for German trade. with equal parts of any oil that win flow freely, It becomes excellent fuel. This Is the way the observer explains the process technically : "The combns Hon of water Is based upon the fact that when a flno stream of water Is put through nn Intensely hot mbtal coll, It Is not only turned Into vopor, but the water molecules nro split up Into their conntltucnt elements, oxygen and hy drogen." NEW ANlToREATER THINGS ALL LOOKED alike TO him The Churches, ADDING HORROR TO SITUATION Conversation as Reported by Boston "Humorist" Would 8eem to About Approach the Limit "The coal situation Is getting very accuse. Isn't It?" asked ma, as she looked over the morning paper. "Yes," sold Peggy. "I was reading where Mr. Stomorrow, the fuel demon itrntor, Is trying to get coal from the minds." "But the paper says there Is a short age of anthrax coal," Interrupted ma, "and that we should use voluminous coal." "Not 'voluminous,' me," corrected Peggy, "buytnomany coul I" "I don't care what they call it," said ma, "you can't get any, anyhow. It's Just too aggregating for words. A pound of sugar or a hod of coal today Is worth more than nil the wealth of the ancient Inkstands." "Who were them?" asked Peggy. "Them was Indlnns ns used to live down In Texaco," ma told her. "It does look ns If this war would never ter minal." , "It will lie terrible if the Hussions continue their armature with tho Ger mans, wouldn't it, ma?" "Oh, he's a terrible, terrible man," sighed ma. "Whom Is?" asked Peggy. "Why," said mn, as she went to get dinner, "who but the geyser?" Joe Toye In the Boston Post. Possibility Ever Open to Mankind at the Periods Dividing Life Are Succetslvely Crotltd. The poetry of nil growing life con sists In carrying an nldness into a new ness, n past Into a future, always. So only ran our days possibly be bouud "each to each by natural piety," I would not for the world think thnt 20 years hvnc 1 should have erased to see the thing which ai now, and lor them still It would make life weari some btf.voaj v.vpreaalou if I thought that iV ( Vf.v t should see them Jvt I e theui mw, mi .t them with; so Ueeper k MftMM other vlsioiw of tbeir K'YMs. And so there wwea this Jeep and simple rule of suy man a he crvtawa the Hue dlvld tug one period of Ma life from another, the same rule which he may use also as ho pusses through any critical occur rence of his life. Mako It a time In which you shall realise your faith, and also In which you shall expect of your faith now and greater things. Take what you believe and are, and hold It In your hand with a new firmness ns you go forward; but look on It with con tinual and confident expectation to see It open Into something greater and truer. Phillips Brooks. "Flapdoodle" Universal. Roosters have used It simply and In genuously, but by mankind It has been raised almost to the level of an art and It has been extensively used from long before the days of Solomon for pur poses of evasion, promotion, argument and self-advancement. There Is scarce ly a deportment of human activity that Is free from It. It Is a rhetorical de vice that Is liberally and shamelessly used by the lover, the business man, the professional man, the society wom an, the critic and the craftsman; and even the clergyman has been known to descend to Its employment upon occa sion. The routine evidences of flap doodle In oraMnary Intercourse arc mo notonwis, but In tojucmt highly culti vated forms It is t.njld In art, liter ature, criticism, politics and statecraft. It Is the most common commodity In the world, and about the most serious. Mra. Newrich'a Footman Helper Pos sibly Didn't Know There Were Any Other Kind of Cards. Sir Cecil Spring Illce. the retlrlns British ambassador. Is one of the mosl Democratic diplomatists ever accred ited at Washington. In fact, he Is verj much like his predecessor, Viscount .Tames Brycc, and bus no patience with the new rich und other artificially glid ed society. Although story telling Is a luxury for the overburdened diplomat, n story he told some time ago Is timely in that It Is applicable to the war mil llonnlres, of which every wurrlng na tion seems to have a big quota. Sir Cecil's story Is about a ladj w hose husband made a fortune In rub ber, and In due time hud reached the outer edge of society so as to ht permllted to make a few calls, which were better received If made by curd. On visit Ing days, she bedecked hersell and her motor, and the round through the streets was always a question of hours. On ono occasion, however, the foot man being sick, she broke In the help er, not having time to secure another footman. While on her way Mrs. New rich discovered that slio had left her visiting cards at home, and thither she hastened, sending tho new foot man to fetch them, after which they continued on their mission. It was qulto dark when they reached the residence of n foreign minister, and tho lady ordered the footman to leave threo cards at tho door. "Can't do It, mndaine," he said bow ing. "I've only got two left, an ace and n deuce." Spiders Ride on Back of Files. ; There Is nn aspect of spider and fly relations which fabulists and natural ists alike have overlooked. A corre spondent who has brought the mi croscope to bear on many houseflles finds thnt the parasite upon that hate ful Insect Is often nn Immature spider. Too weak yet to spin Its web It makes the fly Its winged palfrey, and courses from place to place at the will of Its captive; either until Pegasus perishes naturally, or presumably until the rid er Is able to make a meal of his charg er. This, if confirmed, seems to carry us a step further in the study of par asitism and commenballsm. London Chronicle. Diesel Engine to Have Test.

Particularly pat, at a time when the aliortngo of coal has required many emergency regulations of business, Is the announcement thnt a chemist has found a way In which It will, It li claimed, be commercially profitable to use water as fuel. A man who saw the process exemplified describes It to the Christian Science Monitor In these words: "I hnve seen water burning, I have seen woter streaming Into n flame of blazing oil, nnd, Instead of putting out the fire, it made the flame rear up ward and develop n terapcraturo of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, enough to melt copper." It should be said that the water alone will not bum now any 'nr than In the.iiiistluit, combined "A good Man to work for is a good Man to Vote for" y L. J.

Those who know"him believe in'iim, believe in his ability, believe In his policies. They know he will give Oregon a clean impartial, businesslike administration. They know it to be true, absolutely. WHY? Because In nineteen years he has employed 21,000 men. He has always paid good wages He never nad a strike or a personal injury suit.

Kruuter did not wnut to lose the lamb, so minus the leg be nursed it back to health and then fixed up a peg leg for It. Now the lamb has grown to be a sheep and still stumps around on the wooden leg.
