The motorcycle has been introduced
into the army in Germany and Eng
land, special squads Of motorcycle
scouts being attached to various COM

ground in this county. The United
States army is experimenting with mo-

guard already has established several
squads OF motorcycle scouts.
Only Fifteen Years Old.
The motorcycle, in its present form,
is about 10 years old. The first sue
cessful machine was made in France,
and its development followed closely
that Of the automobile. However. the
application of power for propulsion OF
bicycles was not a new idea As long
ago as 1889 motorcycle driven by
electricity was in use in Boston. But
the engine was so heavy, and so unreIi-

w 7 DIRK is part of the established
M order of things. If a man viii
not work, neither shall he eat
1t is well that idleness has to be paid
for by hunger. for thereby a man is
held to his job.
Work is what keeps US out Of mis-
chief. Every man, almost, is so con-
structed that he is certain to be doing
something, and If he is not doing some
thing that he has to do he will prob
ably be doing something that he ought
not to do.

He is, In this respect, like a boat

The question. therefore, of short
hours of labor and multiplication OF
holidays is one that has two sides to
It Carefully gathered statistics show
that Sunday is distinguished for an in
crease in the number Of criminal ar
rests.
IT would be otherwise II the hours
when one is relieved from required
labor were employed with some def
mite purpose; but, as already said in
defiteness of purpose means mischief,
and the man who spends eight hours
working, eight hours sleeping and the
remaining eight in doing nothing in
particular, but anything or nothing
that happens to turn up. would be bet
ter off If he were allowed less time for
miscellaneous inaction.
The extraordinary pressure that is
upon people in these hustling days has
thoroughly deranged the whole system
of labor and rest. Vacations are a COM
paratively modern innovation. They
have been introduced as counter
weight to the excessive efforts of the
rest of the year.
Our parents knew nothing about va
cations. Clergymen used to have a

for the reason that, unlike laymen, they
had to work seven days out of every
week
But most people continued at their
farm work or in their shop without
letup except on the Sabbath.
AS things are we keep an overdrawn
account. We spend not only the inter
est on our physical and mental capital.

The House of Many Lamps
BY FRED BoALT

lTHE good god JOSS. smiling a
twisted smile, gazed down
through the curling, pungent
smoke that rose from the punk sticks
at the base Of the altar. His CLASSY
| eyes seemed to og1e a vivacious lady
who sat at table near by and whose
hair was too yellow to be convincing.
In a niche in the wall close to the
altar were grouped the household gods
OF Ming Loo-graven images supposed
to represent the spirits of the most
honorable ancestors Of Ming Loo, bene-
f1cent spirits that would guard his
house from harm. though the express
sions on their carven faces were ma
lignant and diabolical
Still further along the same wall
was an upright piano. battle SCARED
and out Of tune, at which sat, beneath
the fronds of an imitation palm, Gus
tav Weber, playing ragtime.
To and from among his patrons
moved Ming Loo and his staff, swift,
efficient, noiseless and preternaturally
good-natured, serving them with what
they desired. whether roast beef or
sharks fin, lager beer or pill of opium.
Ming Loo was a poetic soul, so he
called his place the House of Many
Lamps. He was a fat, yellow little
man, with a penchant for light blue
satin breaches and quilted, raw silk
blouses Of purple, with voluminous
sleeves. He was a. simple, amiable
little man, tongman and gun fighter,
a procurer and opium merchant, and
a perfect gentleman. with a cherubic
smile on his baby lips and a six
shooter up his sleeve.
The patrons were many and curious
white, black and yellow; straight
haired and kinky; men and women
crooked gamblers. thieves. drug slaves,
adventures, MASTERS, parasites.
To all these tastes, Ming Loo catered
in the House Of Many Lamps; and.
though the lamps burned, they shed
no light in that place of pestilen tial
darkness. So much might you see in
the House of Many Lamps great
room, smoke clouded, hung with Ian
terms. on each a yellow dragon; red
tapestries and household gods; and The
good god Joss smiling through a punk
stick smudge. But, if you tried to
pass through any of the doors that
led from that room, Ming Loo and his
smiling staff would turn instantly into
so many yellow devils. For there were
sights and sounds at the House of
Many Lamps that were not for the
eyes and ears Of the casual visitor.
There were dark passages that led
away from those doors, and steps that
went down and down to depths Where
lived creatures of another world.

One might have supposed that the in
habitants of this wonderfully attract
i've little city were as directly the sub

were resident in England and lived
somewhere along Piccadilly.
Our boat from Vancouver arrived
just in time to give US opportunity TO
witness the street pageant, which, in a
variety Of ways. expressed the popular
loyalty to the new sovereign. All styles
and compilations OF nationality. Occi-

in the procession. expressing in tab
leaux the sentiment that was emblaz-
oned on the front of the parliament
house. Imperial Unity
Such occasions only deepen the
sense of devotion to the old country.
The Canadian heart beats true to
Great Britain.
Sentiments expressed on the south
side OF the Canadian line to the effect
that Canada is ready to fall into the
arms Of the United States, are resent
ed by the Canadians.
They are glad of our friendship, as
we are Of theirs, but to be amalgamated
with US is neither in their Thought nor
