the present time, said:
Holding the matter in abbey
ance does not imply any especial
disbelief in the man. DR.. Cook
compares himself with Peary and
others in connection with the
claim of achievement. Now, there
were others with Shackleton and
Peary and neither claimed any
thing as big as DR.. Cook has
claimed. DR.. Cook says the rea-
son for his success was that he
made his trip at a different time
OF the year from anyone else, and
he added that he found the Ice
very rough and that there were
several reaches of open water
which bothered him. Cook ana
Peary went at the same time of
the year. Peary reached tho
'farthest north at almost the very
day that Cook says he. reached
the pole. Peary reached Grant
land about the same time that
Cook says he left Grantland. The
two journeys-those of Cook and
Peary-were made at almost
identical times of the year, vary
ing from one another by not over
week.
"If DIR. Cook did reach the pole
and left cylinder there, 1t Ger
tainly is not there now. From
all accounts l have ever seen. the
ice is constantly moving. EVERY
body who has been in that region
has found that drift.

pole by seeing the stars or the

The sun goes around and around
in a spiral until June 90 or %,

Then the sun goes lower AMI

LONDON, Sept. with the
view to the possibility of future
invasion by airships from the con-
tinent 1t became known today that
the English war office has Sc
cured rights to new high angle
gun, light enough to be mounted
on an auto and of sufficient pow
err to hit a balloon in actual test
at an elevation of 10000 feet.
The shell Is as curious as the
gun. BY day it gives forth a
dense smoke, fired by night be-
comes luminous. This is to en-
able the gun crew to follow the
flight of the projectile and cor
rectness in aim.
The weapon was designed on
the basis of recent experiments IN
Germany and the view of the war
office is that it will prove So eff
fective as to curtail to an enoi
nous extent the usefulness of the
aeroplane and dirigible balloon
for military purposes.

RED MAKES YOU MAD;
BLUE MAKES YOU GLAD

100 years ago Prof. Fowler, the
eminent reader of mems heads,
called the place on the head
where the love cells are the bump
of AMATIVENESS.
Above this bump of amativeness
is the bump of HATE, which
ought to be less prominent on
your head than the other bump.
Prof. Frederick Starr, pres
Ient-day student of the heads of
Indians and other strange peoples,
found that the bump of hate was
LARGER on an Indians skull
than ON white mans.
He believes that is why an In
dian never forgets a grudge.
The possibilities of treatment
of family jars with colored rays
are almost without limit, they
say.
Wives, especially, will be inter
ested in the new discovery. Lots
of evenings man will come home
and scold his wife, scold the nice
supper she has cooked for him,
and find fault with everything.
Perhaps it's red carpet in the
mans office, or a red curtain at
home, or red wall paper, or red
headed maid in the kitchen!
Hereafter, instead of painting
the town red," a man will win
honor If he paints 1t blue. The
way to mans heart after all
may be through blue glass win
dow, or a blue silk dress, rather
than through his stomach.
In this marvellous discovery
science has again shown one of
her most wonderful truths-that
it is the LITTLE things that
cause trouble in the world.

government

Is the U. s. government
through its legal department
playing into the hands of the rail
WAYS and serving as buffer to
prevent citizens from forcing the
railways to give up the land Sc
cured under government grants
at the price of $3.50 an acre
which was provided in the grant?
There was just a hint to this
effect in the federal court this
morning when the famous case OF
Minkler against the Oregon &
California railway came up for
hearing on a motion of the rail-
way company to postpone the
hearing generally until after the
governments case can be heard
n Oregon.
Minkler settled on 80 acres of
he railway grant in Clark county
and demanded that the railway
company deed him the property
'or $3.50 an acre as provided for
n its grant. The company re-
fused. He sued in the federal
court here. Most of the properly
secured from the government IL
in Orgon. Some sixty men Hike
Minkler settled on Oregon land
and tried the same plan, but the
railway paid no attention to the
provisions of the grant from con-
gress.
Minkler brought suit in fedora
court here to compel the company
to deed him the land. The other
men in Oregon followed suit IN
the Oregon court.
The Uncle Sam woke up. He
say there was trouble and ne
Jumped in and started suit TO
forfeit the whole land grant.
E And the railway attorneys thif
morning before Judge Donwortf
asked the court here to postpone
the Minkler case until the gov
eminent case is settled. Judge
William d. Fenton, s. T. Gage
and Senator John w. Guerin, OF
Oregon, spoke for the railway
company, the stockholders and
the Union Trust company, holder
of a railway mortgage, all suS-
costing postponement.
Attorney A. w. Lafferty, OF
ortland, argued against postpone
ment. He limited broadly that II

ton of forfeiture then Minkier
and the others who had settled

and blue on peoples overworked
minds.
There's quality of the red and
blue rays that doctors call an
ACTINIC quality.
When you look at anything
bright RED, the red rays of light,
quicker than the mind can con-
ceive, travel to the SIGHT CELLS
of your brain, tingling the hair
like nerves on their way there.
When you look at anything
BLUE the same thing happens,
only the nerve wire to your brain
is different nerve wire, for diff
ferent colors Jingle different nerve
lines, just like different tele-
phones signal central over diff
ferent wires.
The red nerve lines pass
through a part of the brain that
contains what doctors call THE
CELLS OF HATE!
The blue nerve lines go a GER
tain distance on the RED party
nerve line, and then SWITCH on
to the sight cells through a part
of the brain that contain THE
CELLS OF LOVE!
So with this in mind you can
see the point made by the French
doctor who says he can stop di-
vorces. cure family jars, and
make happy homes by changing
red furniture and wall paper to
blue.
For nearly 30 years the men of
science have known something
about the colors' effect on the
brain of man.
The love cells are Just below
the hate cells, and as far back as
