TESTING THE QUALITY OF AIR.
An Idea as to Its Purity May be De-.
rived by Using Smoke or
Peppermint.

Once year is quite often enough to
have the plumbing tested for the escape
of sewer gas. There are two methods
of doing this-the peppermint test and
smoke test. The latter, says Chicago
exchange, is regarded as the most alb
solute, though both are used. When
such a test is made the regular escapes
for the water are plugged up and smoke
is pumped into the pipes from the roof.
For this purpose there is special ma
chine which combines furnace and a
force pump. In the little furnace are
put old rags or discarded Christmas
trees, or anything which will make q
line smudge. AS soon as these are in
good smoking condition the smudee is
forced Gown into the pipe and tour
OF examination is made. If the smoke
escapes at any point it can be detected
at once.
The peppermint test is made from
the roof also. The escapes are plugged
up and then about pint of peppermint
oil is poured in the roof pipe, followed
by bucket of hot water. The odor of
the peppermint is SO penetrating that
1T VIII quickly escape at any defective
spot. But the man who handles the
peppermint has to stay on the roof un-
til the examination is complete or the
whole house will be permeated with the
odor.

DOESN'T LIKE SUFFRAGE.
A Woman Says 1t Reminds Her OF
Driving When She Was
a Child.

Two women were discussing the
question of women casting votes
equally with men. One was rather
young and pretty, with an air that
spoke plainly of her always having
her own way. The other was middle
aged, comely and genial. Said the
young one: "There is no use talking.
women will never have equal suffrage
as long as they persist in staying at
home as they do. Why don't they get
out and register? The men have
given them the chance of voting for
school trustees and one thing leads to
another. What they ought to do is to
call great rally and embrace the priv
ilges they have offered them. 1t is q
great thing to deal in the affairs of the
state, even if they are merely educa-
tional. l voted.''
Men always put in good school
trustees said the elder woman.
"And I helped them do it,"
"The privileges allotted woman in
the matter of voting in this state re-
mind me of when I was little girl and
lived on the farm. My father used to
take me with him to town whenever he
went, because I was fond of the horses
and cried if he left me at home. And /
thought ought to be allowed to drive,
SO he humored me by letting ME take
hold of the ends of the lines and cluck
to the horses, deriving as much Joy
from it as if his strong hands were not
guiding and directing the horses ahead
OF mine. But I thought was driving
and making things go my way. That is
what women voting for school trus-
tees reminds me Of"
And the young woman did not say
word, for there was nothing to be said

STAMPS OF $4,000 KINDS.
Many of Them Are Only Gotten Up
to Annoy Enthusiastic
Collectors.

The largest postage stamp ever is
sued measures four inches by two
inches, and was the old United States
five-cent stamp for packages of news
papers.
The quarter-shilling stamp of Neck
lenburg- Schwerin, issued in 1856, is the
smallest postage stamp ever issued, be-
ing less than one-fourth the size of the
ordinary stamp, says Tit-Bits.
There are 10000 different kinds Of
postage stamps issued in the various,
countries of the world. Some of these
are made only for collectors by coun-
tries wishing to make money easily.
The French colony of Obock, foraI-
stance, issued no fewer than 200 varie-
ties; this overdone philatelic spot being
administered by governor and eight
functionaries and the capital being a.
village of huts.
The credit of originating that method
of stamp issues belongs to the secre-
tary of an engraving company, who
bound himself for period of ten years
to supply yearly, free of charge, post
age stamps to the different govern
ments of South and Central America
on condition that each yearly series
differs in design, and any surplus stock
at the end of the year belong to the
company, which also retains the dies
and plates for the production of re-
prints

Pavement.

The girls were talking about bicycle
riding and telling of the accidents that
had befallen them. When it came Miss
Fits turn. she painfully changed her
position on the easy chair and said:
In the five years l have been riding
wheel never was seriously hurt until
a week ago and 1 suppose you girls will
say l wasn't hurt then. 1 was going
home from friends house when nv
light went out. 1t was only three
blocks to my home and as the road was
good all the way and policemen are
scarce in that neighborhood thought
the rest of the distance could be
scorched in safety, and away few. 1t
was on Washington avenue, where the
shade trees are SO thick that the por-
lions OF the road between the lamp
posts are in deep shadow.
Bending over the handle bars, I was
making it hum when right under nv
front wheel saw horrible black hole.
There was not time to turn out; / could
only brace every muscle and take
chances on landing all in heap. Well.
l was the worst demoralized heap you
ever saw and | wobbled along nearly a
block before my nerves would permit
me to go back and examine that hole.
when ! did found it was nothing
but ragged piece of black paper lying
on the perfectly smooth roadway. But
it gave me the worst jolt ever received
and it hurts me yet"

ties. Now, brother farmers, we must
be more alive to our interests if we are
to succeed in feeding cattle the crops
we grow on our farms. We all know
that there is no profit in going to Omaha
or Sioux City and buying poor bred
feeders. Every man Who has tried it
for the last two years can testify that
it is losing venture and while it may
not be profitable for the average farmer
to attempt to keep and breed all his
stock pure it certainly will pay every
farmer who grows corn and clover to
buy and keep pure bred sires and for
the farmer who is fairly we'll prepared
to feed and care for them it will pay to
keep few pure bred females.

PRESENTS THE CLAIM
OF GREAT BRITAIN
Sir Richard Webster, Attorney Gen
eral, Argues Upon the Venezue-
Ian Boundary Matter.

PARIS, Sept. 1S.-At to-day's session of
the Anslo-Venezuelan Boundary Arbitra-
ton Commission Sir Richard Wester, the
British Attorney General, continuing his
argument ON behalf of Great Britain,
dwelt upon the alliance between the
Dutch and the Indians. Describing the
colony as it was in 1714, at the time of
the treaty of Utrecht, he claimed that
the Dutch then owned all that is now
contended for by Great Britain, and ar
gued that the acts of Spanish interfer-
ence during the eighteenth century had
been without effect.
Describing the colony in 1914, he as
serted that at he time of the transfer
to England all the territory and all the
rivers owned by the Dutch passed from
the Netherlands to England.
Sir Richard criticized the report of NJ.
MaIlet-Prevost, secretary of the commits
sion and one of the counsel for Vene-
zuela, upon the maps that have been laid
before the tribunal, and then commenced
to sketch the British period of occupa-
ton. He will conclude his argument to-
morrow.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

STOCKTON, Sept. 1S.-The county fair
opened to-day under promising auspices,
and the city presents a scene Of old-time
fair-week activity. The fair will undoubt-
edly surpass any of recent years, both as
to the attractiveness of the programme
and the attendance.
The pavilion in which so many famous
exhibits have been made was becoming
dilapidated for want of attention when
six months ago five enterprising young
men, w. c. Neumiler H. E. Adams, John
Willy, c. E. Doan and George Cats took
the matter up and painted and renovated
the big structure till it presents credit
able appearance.
Every foot of space has been sold for
some time, and at the formal opening to-
night nearly all of the displays were in
position.
The show is very complete and covers
almost every avenue of industry. The
place is profusely decorated, the national
colors predominating. The farmers are
taking an active interest and are well
represented in the crowds that threng the
streets Fakers have pitched tents around
the town, and will not be molested so long
as they do not attempt unlawful games.

THE TIMBER FRAUDS
Wallace R. Ross of the Forestry De-

TACOMA. Sept. 1S.-Wallace r. Ross of
the Forestry Department at Washington
is one of the several officers sent to In
vestigate the timber frauds whereby large
tracts of timber in the forest reserves
have been cut down. Mr.. Ross says:
Prior to the establishment of reserves
many thousands Of acres of valuable tim
her lands were patented by logging and
lumber companies To such as held deeds
the Government offered to give an equal
acreage of timber lands at other points
but neglected to set a date OF exchange.
'"TheSe great companies at once put to
work an extra force of men and by keep
ing them hard at work soon had their

Government, selecting in return the most
valuable timber land that could be Sc
cured In other words they have been
double shooting the turn, and In many
cases where it was the intention of the
it has on its hands nothing but stump
acreage wholly devoid of material for
parks
when logging was done prior to the
passage of the law there was, of course
no criminal intent; but the question the
department will now take up is whether
or not those who have cut timber from
their patents after the passage of the law
can or cannot be held liable.
''It is not the purpose of the department
to prosecute, those who haye literally dis
obeyed the law, but to effectually put a
stop to future operations along the same
lines
''As ii is. the forest reserves in West
