SULTAN IS FOND OF READING Turkey Utittr for Warts at a Tim Although the sultan of Turkey ii reputed to be the lailest potentate In Europe, he Is passionately food of reading. For "weeks at a time he will shut himself In his private mite, sur rounded by literature of all kinds classical works, novels, magazines and newspapers. With the exception of his personal attendants and ministers of state, no one Is allowed In the im perial sanctuary .during the sultan's literary "flta." But the sultan la at something of a disadvantage, soys a British weekly, because his knowledge of European languages la limited, In order to overcome the difficulty he employs a translation office. Here there are officials who speak all the languages of Europe and the East They read all the political and illus trated newspapers of Importance, and translate extracts from them for the sultan. There are IB superior trans lators, called dragoman secretaries. In that office, and their pay Is from ten to forty Turkish pounds monthly. They do not limit their translations to political publications; they trans late novels and romances In all lan guages for' the Sultan, and many thousand volumes of their work have found their way into the imperial lib rary. They are all written on thick, white, royal, octavo, gilt-edge paper, and are fastened together with green and red ribbons by the transla tors themselves. After circulating through the harem they are preserved In the library. The sultan's favorite reading is criminal romances. He subscribes to all news papers that contain reports of the proceedings in the low courts, and there Is no famous writer of stories of crime In nny language whose works have not been translated for him. HOW TO USE COAL PROPERLY House Should Not Be Aewed to Be come 8o Warm That Doors and Windows Art Opened. If you want to save coal never al low the house to get so hot that you have to throw open the windows and doors. Thermostats are cheap these days. They automatically alow down the Are when the temperature is ris ing to the uncomfortable point To get the most out of the heat In coal, the bouse air should be changed once an hour. Arrangements for sucb a change Bhould have been made when the house was built. But If that was overlooked when the bouse waB built you can get the change of air in sev eral ways, says a writer In the Ameri can Magasine. I do not believe in get ting this result by having loose win dows, as we used to do on the farm. I prefer tight windows, carefully weather-stripped. If that has not been arranged for, or If the cost Is too great, I find that storm windows are relatively cheap. Then, air slots which let In air when you want It are good. An Actor's Wish. George Ade, on his return from a visit to Camp Mills at Mlheola, brought a story back home, says the Indianapo lis News. While In New York city Mr. Arte dropped in at the Lambs club, where a lot of actors past war age were sitting around talking about the trenches. Everybody was anxious to flght, but all said they were too old. One of the company said he regretted greatly that be was not eligible, but he hoped tliut he might do his bit In some way on this side. He said: "I would even be willing to go to France on the next transport If I could get" the kind of war job I have In mind." "What's that?" asked another actor. "Weil," replied the would-be warrior, "I should like to go to the front as the chauffeur for a general with a yellow streak." Frlenda In Need. Gov. Thomas E. Campbell, In an argument in favor of an excess profit tax, said In Phoenix : "These fellows are great friends of the government, but when It comes to being taxed, why, then then they're like Murphy, . " 'Cheer up, man I' said Murphy to Dooley. 'Yes look as if yes didn't have a friend in the whole wurrld.' " 'Of haven't, nayther,' Dooley groaned. " 'G'wan !' cried Murphy heartily. 'If It ain't money yen want to borry. O'm as good a triad as ever yes had.' " BulletProof Tlrts. Experiments made at the North western Military and Naval academy apparently show that our best pneu matic automobile tires are fairly im mune from injury from rifle bullets, and It would be Interesting to know how much trouble has been experi ence from ' this cnuse on the Euro pean front, says the Scientific Ameri can. It Is probable, however, that thlB is the least of the causes of trouble, and - that punctures resulting from running over rough ground, and the debris of battle wrecked villages arc far more serious. 81xty Miles an Hour Climbing Speed. A modern airplane weighing as much as a small touring car without any passengers can climb at the rate of 60 miles an hour. The aviator would say that bis machine's rate of ascension Is 1.300 feet a minute. Such au airplane would have an engine of a bruke horse power of 180. The airplane climbing ut 60 miles an hour ascends a gradient of 1 in 8 to 1 in 4. Popular Science Monthly. Subscribe for The Beaverton Times POET AVIATOR WOUNDED.

STOLEN TREASURES OF ART Germany Will Hold Raro Collections Taken From France and Belgium Unless Peace Terms Interfere. Will one of the pence conditions In volve a return to Belgian and French art treasures removed by .the Ger mans since 1914 from the occupied territories? ask the Newr York Eve ning Post Until the present war's outbreak, everyone has supposed the custom of nations changed since Napoleon's time, so that it would no longer he possible for a conqueror to fill his mu seums' with plunder. That supposi tion, like bo many others, seems to have been given the He by the kaiser, whose agents are said to have emp tied the . Antwerp and Rru-wls mu seums for the benefit of Berlin. Even the emperor's grandfather, in the war of 1870, took prnctlcnlly no toll of Purls art treasures. Malice has ascribed this moderation to the lack. In that Spartan genera tion, of appreclntiim for art, which led those earlier Invaders to confine their activities, for the most part, to or molu clocks and stiver services. The modern Prussian, however, from the crown prince down, has become a dllettonte, an art connoisseur. Hence the very thought nf cleanup made of art objects.

It Is a word you hear a thousand times a day, every where, "Mir bea annexl e contributsl.' These are the other ve words. You hear them as we In the United States hear our latest slang phrases. The Russians use them as we once used the phrase, 'sixteen to one,' or 'safety first.' They mean no annexations and no contributions.' Every Russian lost in his happy wonderland, full of the new Joy of life, means, when he uses these words, to any', This world Is t more beautiful place than I hud ever thought. Let us all be brothers and help each other to enjoy It, instead of flshting to mnke slaves of ench other and to drive the beauty and hap piness out of life.'

BEAR GOT ALL CAMP'S HAMS Bruin, Later Captured In Trap, Pro vided Juicy Steak and Ptlt Brought Good Price. With hams at present prices even a rich corporation like the Great North ern Paper company cannot afford to feed bears on that sort of fodder, and so It was a distinct relief to the boss of the compuny's camp on Elm stream, nine miles from Snehoomook Falls, when the camp timekeeper, Raymond Dyer of Bangor, acted, a Bangor cor respondent of the New York World writes. In the camp on Elm stream was a barrel of smoked hams. One morn ing the barrel was full. A week later the barrel was ha miens, the cook found. Tracks of a young bear were around the building. Dyer set a trap. One morning at three o'clock the crow were aroused by a tremendous grunting and thrashing. The ham thief was In the trap, fat: furry and furious, securely pinched by his right forepuw. A logger smushiHl the bear's skull with an ax. The men ate Bome of the bear meat and Dyer got the skin, which he sold for a good price In Bangor, and also collected the state bounty, $5. Nerve of a "Rookie." During some recent maneuvers, says the Rehohoih Sunday Herald, a raw recruit had been told (iff as orderly. On reaching the marquee where the officer was he poked Ids head in and bluntly Inquired : "Huve ye anything for me to do. mister?" Disgustedly lnylng down his clgur, the ollicer exclaimed: "Why the deuce don't you Introdnci' yourself In it proper manner) Sit down," he added, "mid I will show you how to report yourself." The "rookie" seuted himself and the officer, proceeding to the entrance, walked briskly Into the tent, saluted and 8ii Id : "Orderly for the day, sir. Have you any orders for me?" - The recruit calmly picked up the din carded cigar from the table and, he tween puffs tucoiilcnlly replied : "No, there's very little doing todnj You cun hoof it I" Horses Loyal to Cavalry.

Many of the horses took positions In front of the tents of officers and sol diers who have ridden them for years An alarm was spread aod the cavalry men were compelled to cornil their former dumb associates and drlvi them back to the remount station.
