LECTURE BY DIR. SIMON.
Takes CAS- a Man Thinks" fol-
Theme of Discourse.

At the Eighth Street Temple Friday
night Rabbi Abram Simon preached to q
large and interested audience on the
theme. "As Man Thinks" developing
the theme as it appealed to him after
having read the play of the same title
in book form. DR.. Simon spoke of the
difficulty Of presenting a play OF this
character in an age that has not forgot
ten the Shylock Of Shakespeare, and to a
people in whose minds the persecution OF
Jews as a Christian duty is an idea not
even yet wholly eliminated.
That there is nothing either good or
bad, but thinking makes it so.' was the
idea strongly brought out by DR.. Simon
who also laid stress on the .falsity Of the
double standard of morality, saying thai
las a man thinks" SO should a woman
think-that no man has any right to do q
thing which he denies his wife's right OIL
his daughters right to do.

National Council of Junior
Order Winds Up Session
Here.

Resolutions indorsing the immigration
laws and a strict enforcement Of the
illiteracy test were adopted last night
at the final session Of the National Coun-
Gil of the Junior Order of the United
American Mechanics.
The meeting. which was held at Wash
ington Hall, Sd street and Pennsylvania
avenue southeast was attended by the
state councillors Of the order, the first
time in the history Of the organization.
Frank B. Meyers Of Pennsylvania was
elected chairman of the interstate legis-
lative committee, which will endeavor
to secure a uniform state law restricting
foreign immigration. The other men,
bers Of the committee are c. W. Varnum
of Colorado and ]. A. Young Of Mary
land.
An interstate political organization
committee consisting Of DR.. H. A. Bauer

Connecticut and w. B. Merchant Of
Oklahoma, was appointed also.
The session, which was behind closed
doors, was addressed by each of the
state councillors, and questions pertain
ing to national legislation were discuss
ed. One Of the main topics of discus
sion was the question perta1n1ng TO leg
islation requiring the American flag to
be raised above the public school build
. ings in each state. While there are some
states which provide for this by state
legislation, the order is working to have
uniform state law providing heavy

flag is not shown on each public school
building.

the national council. were as follows: G.

Only Famine Was in Tobacco.

From letters received by The Star
from Leonardtown, Nd, it appears that
the recent reports of famine and suffer-
ing there were exaggerated. A letter re-
ceived from John T. Herberot Of Leon
ardtown says that, as a matter of fact
the only famine there was in cigars and
smoking material, and that as soon as
tidings Of the cigar shortage reached
Washington a relief expedition was sent
out in an automobile. and the intense
suffering Of the smokers was ended.

Cavalry Officers at Fort Myer En-
thusiastic at the idea,

Realism is again asserting itself in
the army. Following upon the sugges-
ton that cavalrymen use diseased beef
for targets in bayonet practice has come
the innovation of revolver duels in which
wax bullets are to be fired.
The outfits desired for the protection
of the horses and men engaged in these
duels resemble the elaborate garb used
in the days of combats between knights
The men are to wear head shields of
wire netting and a special glove to pro-
tect the hand. For the horses a hood
is designed affording protection for their
heads.
Complete outfits have been sent to
Fort Myer, Va, for use In the riding
hall Cavalry officers at that post are
said to be enthusiastic over the scheme.

SAVES 100000 A YEAR
Work of Tick Eradication
From Cattle in the South
ern States.

Tick eradication among the southern
cattle is now saving the southern farm
ers about 100000 a year. according to
Cooper Curtis, one of the field inspectors
of the Department of Agriculture, who
has just prepared summary of the
work for the Department.
He says that the work in the south has
been slow owing to ignorance and preju-
dice, but that the farmers are beginning
to wake up to it's Importance. There
have now been 127 counties cleaned Of
ticks out Of. total of 947 originally
infected. The loss the ticks cause to the
south Is estimated at from $4,000, 600 to
500 coo, 900 annually.
Work Begun Five Years Ago.
1t is five years since the Department
OF Agriculture discovered that it was the
and made cattle raising in the south so
difficult. 1t was found that by dipping
the cattle the ticks could be killed on
them, and it was found also that by
letting one pasture lie idle while another
was being grazed that the ticks could
be starved out and the feeding ground
kept clean.
Mr. Curtis says that obstinacy for five
years made it an uphill fight. AS the
work progressed the federal government
appropriated more money, till $250.OO0 is
being used annually. The states appro-
antine has been removed from the clean
| ed counties and the farmers are raising
| more and better cattle and developing
| better forage crops.

some thousands OF them huddled to-

river.
To the westward of this valley is
q great spur OF mountains extending
to the East Fork OF Salmon River.
Referring to- the map we spoke Of
you will find the river is not named,
but one of it's tributaries is marked
w. Pass Creek. In these mountains
are high barren peaks and pinnacles.
When the wind blows the drifting
sand cuts out weird forms. caves,
grottos and cornices. Here the
mountain sheep holds forth little dis
turbed on his lonely cliffs and
slopes. He loves such places for
their own sake. Where feed \ is
plentiful he has too much company.
In the finer valleys and timber-cover
mountains along Salmon river are
deer and antelope In great numbers,
and here the hunters camp along the
crystal streams and feast on fish and
venison.
