akes a Mountain Out of a Mole Hill
To the Editor: Dear Sir. A serious
error crept into your paper in its last
issue, wherein it was published that
the “Elks Lodge” of this city, had
met and organized an “Elks Club,"
which if get in the spheres of Elkdom
we loçal Elks, will have some fun ex­
plaining.
It is a law of the Elks order, that
a lodge cannot be organized in any
city, with less than 5000 white in­
habitants. This city falls far short
of that numer, hence no Elk lodge
can be organized just now; we have
to grow’ a little.
It is also a law of the Elk order,
that an “Elk club” cannot be organ­
ized in any city, with a population of
less than 5000. So we cannot organ­
ize an “Elks club” as yet.
If it is any of the public’s business,
>r satisfies its curiosity, I wish to de­
clare that a social club has been or-
anlzed. entirely independant of the
•rder of Elks, and that members of
he Order of Elks, are also members
if said club.
Some body “got twisted.” We hava
MADE FEAST FOR LOBSTERS
We fail to see that our correspond­
ent has any kick coming for the par­
agraph simply stated that a club had
been formed for the accommodation
of members throught out the county
and for tourists. Our reporter used
the word "lodge” where "club”
should have been used, and we are
sorry that so smpll a matter should
appear so great error in the eyes of
our friend Web Holmes. Anyway,
since wheu has Web become so part­
icular, so precise, and, make a moun­
tain out of a mole hill?—Editor.
“Charlie” is well known In his
home town of Rockland. While cover­
ing his route along the south shore,
he got a trade on some nice lobsters
and purchased six dandies. A fat
mackerel also caught his fancy while
speculating in sea food and he took
along the handsome specimen. Charles
put the mackerel In with his lobsters
and, cranking up his truck, headed for
home.
,
“I’vg got something here, all right.”
said Charles to his better half as he
carried the big bundle Into the house,
lie dumped a crawling mass of crus-
taceans on the table but nowhere could
he find his mackerel, Back to the
auto he went but the fish had dis-
appeared. When the lobsters were
boiled and served it was noticed there
was a decided flavor of mackerel to
them. The diners’ suspicions were
aroused
and,
seeking
authority,
Charles was told that he had guessed
correctly—the lobsters had eaten his
mackerel. The hungry shellfish, be­
ing brought up on salted herring in
the traps, were not slow to realize
that an epicurean dish was being serv­
ed them on the long ride home. They
made the most of it, too.—Brockton

Lady Duff Gordon said at a tea at
the Ritz:
“There are young women who would
rather be ultra-fashionable than any­
thing else. In their eyes nothing mat­
ters but that.
"Two young women were lunching
when a third young woman passed
In the company of an elderly married
pair.
“ ’There goes Maud,’ murmured the
first young woman. "They say that
she and old Mr. Goldie spent the week­
end at Atlantic City together.’
“ ’Oh!' said the second young wom­
an in shocked tones. 'Oh, what a libel
on poor Maud! You know you couldn’t
drag her with wild horses to such a
vulgar, common resort as Atlantic
City.’ ”

On entering a dark room after a
stay in the outside daylight the eye j
at once begins to increase in sensl- |
tlvity. At first this Increase appears to
be slow, but after five minutes the in­
crease is quite rapid, the eye acquir­
ing a sensitivity several hundred times
its initial value. After 30 min­
utes’ sojourn In the dark the sensitiv­
ity still Increases, but more slowly
than before, and after 45 minutes or
an hour the maximum sensitivity Is
reached. The final sensitivity varies
slightly with different people, but in
fully adapted condition the eye is eas­
ily 5,000 or 10.000 times more sensitive
than it was at the beginning.
These facts are obtained from a
study of tlie sensitiveness of the eye
in the dark made by Selig Hecht of
Creighton university. Omaha, and pub­
lished In the Journal of General
Physiology. Mr. Hecht’s study goes
to show that the increased sensitive­
ness is due to a reversible photochem­
ical reaction within the retina. Involv­
ing a photosensitive substance and its

INSIGNIA OF HONOR I EXPLOSIONS CAUSED BY 0U»i
Buddy back on the farm is going to
get an awful shock one of these days
I when he looks skyward during a lull
In the plowing. A plane is going to
appear overhead and lie will instantly
recognize the insignia painted on the
fuselage of the stellar aero squadron
I that worked for his division at the
! time they were hoeing their way
' through the Argonne. In the Home
Sector, Frederick J. Darle says: "The
decision of the war department to re­
tain the distinguishing insignia will In
any event make the identification of
I the planes easy for civilians. More
and more the army planes—old as they
are—are undertaking long flights. They
appear unexpectedly over cities far
away from their stations and many a
farmer these days sees a gargantuan
propelled beetle settle down in bis
back pasture. When an army plane
comes flying* by or lands near us, we
will soon look for the insignia, just
i as everybody once looked for the state
automobile license tag when the tour­
ist’s dust covered auto passed. When
the pedestrian sees a plane decorated
with the painting of a kicking mule, a
silhouetted, scythe-swinging skeleton
or a witch a-straddle a broomstick, he
may wonder what battle record the in­
signia stands for.
He may guess
rightly that the tiny winged elephant
on a plane is a sarcastic commentary
on the plane’s speed, but he probably
would like to knov whether this plane
is from a burden-bearer squadron that
hauled tons of bombs over the lines
to drop them on German railway Junc-
tions.”
NITIATIVE MEASURE No. 310 on the ballot gives to the Port
of Portland means to create such a port.
The primary object of this bill is to furnish the means to in­
sure the opening and maintaining of a 30 foot channel from Portland
to the sea and of building and establishing port facilities at the City of
Portland sufficient to handle the foreign and coastwise shipping of that
port.
The cost of this improvement will be met by the people living with­
in the boundaries of the Port of Portland.
When you go to the Polls November second vote 310 YES and give
to the Port of Portland the power to maintain its 30 foot channel to
sea and to build adequate port facilities to handle all of the great pro­
ducts of the interior of the state.
The passage of this bill means lower freight rates for the products of
Oregon in reaching the markets of the world and a consequent greater
profit to the producers.
This is the most important and most valuable measure that has ever
been put up to the voters of the interior portions of the state.
