HEADS SHAPED TO ORDER.
German Doctor Explains Causes Of
Various Formations.

At q recent convention OF German
aaturalists and doctors DR.. Watcher,
Of Stuttgart. in an instructive paper
put forth a sensational theory TO ex.
plain the formation Of the shape Of
the head OF infants. He maintained
that the head Of q child could be
nodded artiacially. lie, found by ex.
perience that when a medum.shaped
head is placed in soft cushion the
child turns on its back, or rests on the
back OF its head. in order to free
mouth, nose and face. In this manner
the head rests smoothly. and short
head is developed. But II the medium
shaped head OF child is placed on q
hard underrest, like a hair mattress
or rolled carpet, the child's head
turns aside, as 1t cannot stand any
more on It's head than an egg. for the
muscle OF the back Is weakened.
Therefore, with continued resting on
the side long head is developed. To
prove His assertions the lecturSr pre-
scented child whose mother and sis
ter are shortheaded. The child at its
birth had a short head, now after IL
months 1t is long skuled. II the child
had been placed on its back, according
to other experiences its head would
have been short-shaped. DR.. Watcher
did not deny that the shape OF the
head was inherited. but asserted that
II could be greatly influenced by the
way the child rested.

Mansfield Finds Rat.

doc" Mansfield, charter mem ber
Of Athena's "Neversweat Club is
entitled to wear the medal as cham
pion rat catcher. and on the medal
honorable mention should be made Of
David Taylor's heroism. David
started the game by starting the rat
in "Doc's' direction. The pesky ro-
dent with Taylor in hot pursuit was
making for the sewer pipe entrance in
front of Parker's barber shop. The
race was SO hot between rat and man
that the rat missed the sewer pipe and
darted up sDoc's" pantaloons. With
a composure bordering on delirium
tremens Mr.. Mansfield clutched at
tho waistband Of his trousers and held
the rat captive until it was released
by bystander (not Taylor, as has
been reported) who threw it into the
street, where nimble little fox ter
rior quickly dispatched it. Oh ladies,
wasn't tia terrible experience?

been i'll with fever at the Weston Ho-
tel. was conveyed to the county hospi-
tai Tuesday by the landlord w. w.
Carlile, being without means to pro-
vide for his living or treatment, says
the Weston Leader.
Mr.. Carlile says the county authori-
ties were notified that he was coming
with the patient but nobody was at
hand to receive him when he arrived
at the Pendleton depot. There had
been an hour g delay in waiting for a
late train at Weston. and Taylor was
in an exhausted condition. Mr.. Car.
lille called up the county physician.
saying that his charge needed atten.
tion. but without going to the depot
that official notified him to communi-
cate with the county hospital. This
Mr.. Carlile succeeded in doing through
the sheriff's office. although the sheriff,
whom he hunted up. at first informed
him that his time was occupied with
well people and the sick were not his
affair.
In about two hours after Taylor
had been landed at Pendleton hack
came for him from the county hospital.
No stretcher or mattress was provided,
and although nearly ''all in" the
feverstricken patient had to ride on
the seat until the county farm on Nc
Kay creek, some two miles distant,
was reaGhad.

WHEAT IS P|L|NG UP||S STILL SEARCHING
The Bulk of This Seasons Crop is
Stored in Athena Warehouses
Cars are Scarce.

Hundreds of tiers of wheat sacks
are being piled up in Athena's big
warehouses, and the bulk of this sea-
sons crop is now safe under shelter,
but wheat hauling is not over yet, by
any means.
The sack bucks working in Athena
warehouses are having breathing
spell, as it were. The big rush of
wheat hauling has abated to some ex-
tent, and the boys are seeing daylight
through the blockade of thousands of
sacks of wheat.
n For time their efforts spelled but
iistle against the steady tide of wheat
pouring in from nearby farms. The
warehouses became completely blocked
up, and not having time to s'pile up. :"
hundreds of truck loads, FIVE sacks
high were dumped on the platforms
outside the buildings. Now, that the
first rush is over, the boys find time
to pile, the result being that the differ
ent storage houses are once more in
order. 3sS
By the time the last load Of grain
is delivered, the houses will be filled
to full capacity. In the big ware
houses Of the Puget Sound company
and the Pacific Coast Elevator com
pany, nearly all the wheat in storage
was purchased by the Preston Parton
Milling company, and is the overflow
which found no storage room. at the
Mill warehouse.
David Taylor's Independent ware
house is ohuc-a-b block with wheat.
He is crowded for room and is ship
ping to some extent, and would ship
a great deal more but is up against
car shortage. He is in position to
ship over both roads, and is patiently
waiting for cars.

Break in Flume Near Power Plant
Causes Power to Shut
Down "a Hours.

The bursting of the flume noar the
power plant early Sunday morning put
Athena in darkness Monday night and
no power was furnished until mid
night Tuesday.

promised that the repairs would be
completed by noon. At that time
the workmen did succeed in stopping
up the break, and for few minutes
there was plenty of juice.
The Preston Parton Mill. the Press
office, Clemon's mill and Tharp Bros.
machine shop, which use electric
power were put out of business tempo
rarily.
Walla Walla and Pendleton also felt
the effects of the shut down. Those
who perhaps suffered the greatest
hardships were the afternoon news
papers, which depend entirely upon
electric power to operate their limo

away and was lost.
During the past year Mr. Brittan has
spared no pains to gain information
regarding his lost son, and as the kid
mapping theory was given credence, the
father has at various times made long
journeys in response to kilograms in
forming him that Cecil had been
found, but always found that the olew

the whereabouts of the child was as
much Of mystery as ever.
Frequently kilograms are received
by Mr.. Brittan that a child answering
the description Of his lost son has been
seen in some far.off city with band
of rowing gypsies, but investigation
always reveals the fact that the child
is not Cecil, and the heart troken

that they could find the remains of
the boy, but the result has always
been the same.
