Representatives of the tele-
phone company at Prineville were
here recently looking into the sit
uation in a business way. The
Times-Herald understands these
people contemplate the building
of a line into the Warm Springs
country to be made a part of their
line between here and Prineville.
When the present line was pur-
chased from M. l.. Lewis and
associates we understand it car
ried also the privilege of estab-
fishing an exchange in Burns.
Should they build a line to con-
meet the Warm Springs section il
is possible they will put in a local
exchange.

just as soon as boy gets old
enough, if he has a common-sens @
parent, the father takes him in
hand and teaches him how to
keep a bank account and draw a.
check. But when a girl asks
her father about these same
things he generally smiles indul-
gently, and says: ooh, you don't
need to bother your pretty head
about such things Or, if he is
pressed, he may show her, but it
is almost invariably, in. a half
hearted manner, and when she
makes mistake he chuckles and
cracks the time worn joke,
"You're woman, all right"
and tells her the old story of the
wife who when she was told she
had no more money in the bank
assured the bank cashier that it,
couldn't be so because she had so
many checks still in her bank
book. But some day the daugh-
TER grows into woman (althongh
she never DOES in the fathers
eyes, becomes a wife, is given a i
household account to keep and a
check book, and-she overdraws
her account, or she wrongly in
dorses check, or she fails to
realize the value of personal cred
it by paying her bills promptly.
And the tradesman fume, the
bank-teller snorts, the husband
is Disguised, and the paragraph
er on the funlly-papers gets out
pencil and pad and writes a
joke about her. But whose fault
is il?

COLOR AND SOUND.

The primary colors shown in
the rainbow vary from red to
blue and violet, and the vibra-
tions of lengths of the light
waves that gives us violet grow
shorter and at length give us red.
These vibrations can be measur-
ed. One day, l quite by chance.
came across the statement that
there were innumerable light
waves longer than those which
give violet. At once the ques-
ton sprang, We're these longer
waves represented by c o o 8
which we don't see, colors for
which we have no name, colors
of which we can form no concep-
tion3 And was the same thing
true of the waves which, grow
ing shorter and shorter, give us
the sensation of red? There is
room, of course, for myriads OF
colors beyond this other extcem-
ity of our vision. A little study
convinced me that my guess was
right, for all the colors which we
see are requested to our sense OF
feeling in degrees of heat; that
is blue shows one reading on the
thermometer and red a higher
reading, and by means of this
new standard | discovered that
mans range of vision is not even
placed in the middle of the reg
lister of heat, but occupies a little
space far up toward the warmer
extremity of it. There are thou
sands of degrees of cold lower
than blue and hundreds of de-
grees of heat above red. All
these gradations are doubtless
represented by colors which no
human eye can perceive, no hui
man mind imagine. 1t it with
sight as with sound. We know
now that there are noises louder
than thunder which we cannot
hear, the roar that lies on the
other side of silence. We mer
are poor restless prisoners, hem
med in by our senses as by thu
walls of cell, hearing only
part of natures orchestra ano
that part imperfectly; seeing
only thousandth part OF tn
color marvels about us and see
ing that infnitesimal part moor
tsctly and partially. Fcfum.

TAKE CARE OF THE BIRDS

A strong plea is made for the
birds by Alonzo Mckay, who
writes in the Progressive Farm
or. He builds birds nests out of
old boards and puts them all ov-
er the farm and finds that they
are soon taken possession of by the
birds. He argues that if birds
felt that man was q friend and
not foe, they would often turn
to him for protection. Think OF
the storms, winds and rains!
Would you like to have to stay
out in them as the birds do some
times? Think of it. The bird
is the friend of the farmer. We
cannot have too many birds.
They should be encouraged and
protected. They should be sup
piled with shelter and water.
Sometimes you see boy oreV-
en- man out with a gun killing
birds as fast as they appear
This should be stopped. Some
birds are the friend of the farm
er and should be protected. Their
greatest work is to detroy in
sects.
''The boys in the family may
do great good by building bird
houses. about the barn, house and
shade trees. The houses should
be kept out of reach of cats and
dogs. Give each room six in
ches of floor space and make it
eight inches high. A single
opening near the top two inches
in diameter should be made fcl
large birds, for small birds, sucl
as the wren, one-inch door vii
do"

y -
UNUSUAL talent; not many Of us
have the wit and wisdom Of Mac
aulay, the brilliant sallies Of
Sheridan or the common sense
of Sidney Smith, but we can con-
tribut@ something for the enter
tainment Of those with whom we
come in contact.
To be an interesting CONVEX
sationalist it is requisltive to have
something to talk about Guilt
waite your mind through reading
and observation. Close observa-
ton will help you very much.
One person can come in from a
walk or from a visit with friends
and relate many interesting
! things, while another who has
accompanied her, will have seen
or heard nothing to talk about.
Some have written us they
have no opportunity for reading
or for observation. If any of
our people are so unpleasantly
situated, so handicapped, we pity
them; but we do not personally
know of one who cannot by pro-
per management, nave at least
fifteen minutes a day to devote
to useful reading, or cannot OBJ
serve the people with whom they
come in contact, or find somo
one with whom they can ex-
change IDEAS. Any of us can
read one page a day; and one
page of solid reading well d.
gested is worth more than vol
ume of light literature hastily
SKINNED over.
The ability to talk we'll is rare
but it is an accomplishment worth
acquiring. We find young wom-
en- who will spend hours before
the mirror, not realizing that one
half Of this time spent in cultl-
waiting the mind and in acquiring
the ability to talk well would
bring much greater popularity
than the time spent in following
the latest fashions. Attention
to dress is a paranl cunt duty but
frills and furbelows are always
overshadowed by. the charm of
one that can talk we'll. Often
the ability to talk well is a gift,
but it is also an art that we can
cultivate.
Let lis commence now to talk
about what we see and read to
the people of our own family;
many of us grow taciturn from
considering it not worth while
to talk to our home folk. Guilt
waite the habit of story telling to
the children Of your home and to
your neighbours children. You
will soon find your ability to talk
well strengthening, words will
become flexible, you will gain
confidence in yourself and soon
you will become accustomed to
converse without conscious eff
fort. Keep yourself in touch
with the questions of the day;
YOU can learn from the headlines
of the papers what you must
read attentively and at what you
must glance.
A good conversationalist never
talks much of herself nor her
own affairs. Avoid unkind OBJ
servations about other people,
and be very careful of personal
remarks. Do not attack peoples
religion or politics; always rem
ember that each one has right
to his own thoughts Try to
avoid unpleasant subjects and
endeavor to discuss what is most
interesting to your companions.
It is just. as important to be
able to listen intelligently as it
is to be able to talk we'll. We
can learn something from every
one if we will listen. We should
be able to draw people out; we
can do this by following closely
the thread of the speakers con
versation, and be able to pick up

ROMAN VILLA Is UNEARTHED
Architectural Specimens Found In
Ancient Town, Similar in Style
to Those of Pompeii.

Berlin.-Excavation which have
been carried on by Professor Gnir at
Pola have led to the discovery of a
fine specimen Of a Roman villa, SIM
liar in style to those Of Pompeii. The
walls of the peristyle are in part
still standing to a height of over ten
feet, and are decorated with paint
ings in the so-called architectural
style. In the middle of an ornamental
mosaic floor is medallion portray1ng
two peacocks on the edge of foun-
tain basin; another mosaic floor rep
resents a dog chasing hare. This is
the finest specimen of domestic
Roman architecture so far discov-
cred at Pola, but this Istrian city,
now the Austrian Portsmouth, has al
ways been we'll known to archaeol-
ogists by reason of its fine amphi-
theater and the complete, though
small, Roman temple, which stands in
the middle Of the town.

HEIGHT TO COMMAND FARE
Line Must Measure All Chill
dren to Fix Charge.

Irwin, Pa.-When person accom-
panied by child boards street car
here the conductor no more asks,
"How old is it?'' but he takes it to
the front end of the car, removes it's
hat and takes its measure. If the
child is under Al inches tall no fare
is charged This system was adopt
ed recently by the West Penn line be-
cause so many children nearly the
size of men and women have been
represented to be under five years of
age. Statistics showed that children
five years old average height of 81
feet. A mark Al inches from the floor
in each car is used to determine a
child's height.
Besides their transportation, pas
sengers, it is said, get a nickel's worth
of fun every time child gets on a
car. Little boys can ride to their
hearts content If they are under size,
and all the excuse they need give is
that mother sent me to the store"
Sleeping children in parents arms,
however, must be wakened and stood
against the mark; little girls must
have their hats removed, and the
child that is large for it's age" must
pay like a little man.

IDINOSAUR IS A REAL MUMMY
Prof. Osborn Declares 1t DiscIoses Ma
ture of Mastodon's Epidermis-
Gives Theory.

New York.-Prof. Henry Fairfield
Osborn, president Of the American
Museum of Natural History in a mono
graph on the dinosaur mummy" which
has just been put on exhibition at the
museum, says that in spite of the fact
that scientists have been we'll acquaint-
ed with the dinosaur for 40 years or
more not until this one came into the
possession of the museum and was pre-
pared for exhibition did psychologists
have correct or extensive information
as to the outer covering of these
strange animals.
Professor Osborn says the museums
specimen, found by the veteran fossil
hunter, Charles H. Sternberg Of Kan
sas, is entitled to be called the dinosaur
mummy" because in all parts of the
animal except the hind legs and tail,
the epidermis is shrunken around the
limbs, tightly drawn along the pony
surfaces and contracted like a curtain
below the chest area.
According to Professor Osborn, the
condition Of the epidermis suggests, as
theory in explanation of the preser-
walton Of the remarkable specimen,
that after dying a natural death the
animal was not preyed upon by other
enemies, but that the body lay ex-
posed to the sun entirely undisturbed
for long time, perhaps upon a broad
sand fiat of a stream in the low. water
stage.
