Sherman, presi dent of the General Federation of Women's clubs, an organization that is directing an intense campaign to educate women to the utility and labor-saving benefits of electrical im provements of recent years. Mrs. Sherman wants to know why C5 Am erican home-makers out of every 100 are still sweeping floors with the back-breaking, dust-raising, germ cultivating broom, and why 73 women out of every 100 are rubbing the family wash on the old washing board and straining at the old-fashioned wringer when the mechanical machine will do the work better and release the home maker to the care and com panionship of her children. "I am convinced," say3 Mrs. Sher man, "that in the great majority of cases the answer is the habit of drudgery and in a chronic failure to set up against the cost of labor reducing devices the saving, the in creased efficiency, the protection of general weal of the family, a'.l of which accrue from the elimination of drudgery by the installation of ef ficient labor-saving devices." o New auto speed limits in Wash ington do not allow greater privil eges to drivers; they impose greater responsibilities, says the Seattle Star. Formerly the law assumed the responsibility of saying that 30 miles an hour was "safe." Today, it's up to the driver to say what speed is safe. He may be reckless at ten miles an hour. Reckless driv ing, under the state motor code, is driving that may "endanger or un necessarily inconvenience other uaers of the highway." Forty miles an hour is legal speed only when every thing else is all right. j o Golf, with its millions of dollara pouring into the making of courses and aristocratic country' clubs, yet remains a poor man's game in that it was the game of the common or meaner sort of people in Holland in the earlier centuries. Robert Hunter writes about it in Scribner's Maga zine. Our familiarity with the game is circumscribed by what we have read of the battles for the Hamley cup and. observing kids trying to knock a billiard ball off a tin. can, out in the alley. o The annual meeting and election of officers of the Sons and Daughters of Oregon Fioneers held at Portland this week, brings to mind that soon, within the space of a few short years, they will be called upon to perpetuate the present pioneer or ganizations of the state. The mem bership of the present pioneer or ganizations are rapidly diminishing and only a few are left to sit on tl e reception stands during annual reunions. to insane asylums instead of being sent to prison. Maybe that is the reason for so few prisons in Poland. u ' Twee in the history of its exist -nee has Rapid City been heard of -back in gold rush days, and now ks the summer capitol of the nation If the old burg keeps on, it may yet latch up with its speedy name. o The Germans have caught it, to, since Chamberlain landed there in the Columbia. Ernest Udet, a flier of the fatherland will attempt a flight from Munich to New York; and he's apt to do that same. o Cut down navies or rip off th? lid, is virtually what Uncle Sam's edict amounts to at the Geneva conference. And we're betting they will be cut. o A girl baby has come to bless the marriage transpiring two years ago in France, when Antoine Gerrigue 86, took a 38-year-old bride. o Lindy came out of it all right, and in greasy overalls roaming the St. Louis aviation field, is himself again. , o Jimmy sez: Get a Lindbergh stamp. M Mi T Layers of Warm and Cold Waters in Lakes It has been found that some of the salt lakes In Hungary present the pe culiarity of a layer of warm, or even hot, suit, water between two bodies of colder water. Thus, In the Medoc lake, the surface temperature In sum mer Is about 70 degrees, but at a depth of a little more than four feet the temperature becomes 133 degrees, de clining again to 00 degrees at the bot tom. The surface water Is fresh, but the warm water beneath Is Intensely sa line, mid the explanation of the dif ference of temperature Is that, since the fcppcific heat of Rait water is less than that of fresh water, the salt wa ter Is more easily heated by the sun, and, having risen to a higher tempera ture than that of the overlying fresh water, retains Its heat, because th fresh water prevents Its escape by ra diation. It Is suggested that some use might be found for these natural res ervoirs, or accumulators, of solar heat A Swiss cheese maker has arrived in this country and is trying to con vince us that Swiss cheese is just as good as ever it was. For the sake of argument let us say that it is. However, matters of American im portation of Swiss cheese will con tinue to remain in statu quo, for the simple though very explicit reason that American Swiss cheese is superior in many ways to Swiss made Swiss cheese. Another one-man feat of conquer ing the Atlantic worthy of mention is that of Captain Thomas Drake, who in his 35-foot "Pilgrim" land ed at Plymouth, England, Monday, after crossing the big pond alone from Charleston, S. C, from where he set sail on April 27. All of which begins to prove that you do not have to be in a crowd to cross the Atlantic. Chicago Heights, one little coiner of the windy city witnessed its sev entieth gangster killing in two years, when Joseph Lauer 50 year old board ing house keeper was slain by gun men from a passing automobile. The victim wasn't even offered the court esy of a "ride." A new field for burglary activities recently came to light at Yakima, when it was found that thieves forced an entrance to a monument shop in that town and looted a cigar box of checks totaling $280. o One thousand admen, "the fellows who tell the world," met in conven tion at Portland this week, and Port land is a better town as a result of their visit. o Philanthropic thieves of Warsaw, who rob the wealthy and give their loot to the poor, are given sentences Heroic Roman Figure Cinclnuatus was one of the favorite early heroes of the Roman republic. In the year 400 B. C. he was elected consul, the chief executive officer of Rome. Two years later, In time of great national danger, he was chosen dictator or supreme commander to lend the army aguinst the nation of Gauls, or modern France, that was threatening Italy. .The messenger sent to tell him of his elevation to the dictatorship found him plowing on his little farm. He put on his topi, the robe of a Itoinan citizen, to listen to the reading of his commission, mid then he went to Rome and took com- mund. lie decisively defeated the en emy, and 16 days later he was at home again at work on his furni.

Whitehead's Barber Shop Athena, pre, 31 Years Ago June 19, 1896 Frank Saling, of Weston, found the : keleton of a man near Saling's camp i n Weston Mountain, Wednesday of i his week. What remained of the : keleton was brought down to Wes--. on, , yesterday, and the bleached bones, boots with the "tops gnawed off, a pair of rusty spurs and a blue handkerchief once worn around the dead man's neck, afforded much curiosity and speculation as to who and what the dead had been.
