The Modern Way

will you allow me to ask you a
question:" interrupted man in the
audience.
Certainly, sir" replied the lecturer.
''You have given US a lot of figures
about immigration, increase of wealth,
the growth Of trusts and all that" said
the man. Lets see what you know
about figures yourself. How do you
find the greatest common divisor2'
Slowly and deliberately the orator
took a glass Of water.
Then he pointed his finger straight
at the questioner. Lightning flashed
from his eyes and he replied, in voice
that made the gas jets culver:
Advertise for it you ignoramus!"
The audience cheered and yelled
and stamped and the man who had
asked the question crawled out Of the
hall total wreck.-Fun.

Items of Interest to Women

Six American cities with more than
100, 900 population have women voting
for president, congressman and all 9TH
er officers on the same terms as men.
They are San Francisco, Los Angeles,
Seattle, Denver, Oakland and Spokane.
Only ten cities in the Union have a
larger population than San Francisco.
1t is the most populous city where
women vote.
The registrar Of voters at Sacramento,
c. w. Haub, points out that native
born women, who were formerly held
to be disfranchised by marriage to
an alien will have the right
to vote under the amended election
laws. The amended law reads that
every citizen of the United states over
the age of 81 years can vote in the
state of California, and Mr.. Haub holds
that momen does not lose her citizen
ship by marrying an alien. This law
does not go into effect until March %,
so Mr.. Haub is asking such married
women to postpone registering until
that time.
For the second time in three years
the gold medal of the Royal Academy
OF Arts in London has been won by a
woman, and OF the fourteen prizes car
ried off, ten were won by women. And
yet women may not be associated
members with men in the election to
the forty immortals, but are kept with
out the gate.
Mrs. Maud Howe Elliott, daughter
of the late Julia Ward Howe, says that
her mothers motto was "Up-to-date. "
When a woman begins to feel that she
is out of date there is only one thing to
do, and that is to get in touch with
all the things that are worth while, and
that is what Mrs. Howe did most GER
tainly.
Miss Emily Glorieux is a police
woman Of Minneapolis and has been SC
successful in her work that woman:
welfare league has been organized tc
help her. There are seventeen dance
halls on her list and she visits some o.
them every night, arresting or sending
home those girls who seem to be toe
young to be there, that is under 81.
The Welfare League is urging the ap-
pointment Of two other policewomer
that the work may be even more salts
factory.

DYE YOU EVER SEE
AN ICE-WORM j!
This is no Joke; Ask Professor MnCaid
of the University of Washington

DR.. Trevor Kincaid, professor of 20
ology in the University Of Washington,
declared that the ice-worm, which has
hitherto been considered myth in the
traditions OF Alaska, is a reality. The
worm, which has just been brought to
Seattle by Homer R. BurTitt, govern
ment mineral inspector, lives in the
ice of glaciers. 1t is small, brown and
thread-like, about one-quarter of an
inch in length and almost invisible to
the naked eye. The specimen just
found will be sent to Washington, D.
c., to be examined by the federal ex-
perts. Burritt found it on the Slope
Glacier.
Professor Kincaid found the ice
worm several years ago in the ice Of the
Muir glacier. He made no announce
ment of his discovery at the time, con-
tenting himself with making study Of
it. The pigment of the ice-worm has
the peculiar function Of absorbing heat
from the rays of the sun. When at
night it sinks beneath the surface it
melts the ice around it and thus pro-
tects itself from the cold. While this
individual is nearly invisible, it lives in
colonies which appear in the ice as
dark streaks about foot in width and
from fifty to one hundred feet in length.
The organism feeds on debris carried
along by the glacier.
For years the ice-worm has been a
standing joke with the old sour-doughs.
The ice-worm cocktail has ever been
a trap to take an extra fall out of the
cheechaco.
The ice-worm, which is unknown to
the glaciers Of Europe and Asia, is pc
culiar to those OF Alaska and the North
Pacific. Professor Kincaid sees no rea-
son why the hewly-recognized squirmer
should not be found in the glaciers OF
the Olympics and Cascades.

How to Prevent Typhoid

When one is compelled to live in a
house or in neighborhood where ty-
phoid fever prevails he should make it
his infallible rule TO eat and drink only
such foods as have been recently heat
ed to above the scalding temperature.
Salads shoule be avoided, and water
and milk should always be scalded be-
fore use. Fruits should be pared. The
typhoid fever organism is very suscept-
IDLE to heat, and slight boiling or even
a good strong scalding is sufficient to
destroy it. So far as possible the house
fly should be screened out OF the house
while any that gain access should be
diligently pursued and destroyed. A
bit of wire netting attached to wood
en- handle is a convenient weapon. If
these measures were consistently prac-
ticed large part of the now generally
prevalent typhoid fever could be pre-
vented, especially if in conjunction
with these measures the discharges OF
the sick were consistently and thorough
ly disinfected before being thrown up
on the soil or into the latrines.
These precautions are suggested In
a recent bulletin of the United States
Department of Agriculture by Logan
Waller Page, John R. Moller and Irwin
F. Smith. This bulletin contains also
a discussion of the danger of typhoid
fever and vaccination against it. Copies
may be obtained from the department
of agriculture by writing for Farmers

ITEMS OF INTEREST
FROM THE NORTHWEST

Puget Sound customs district shows
a big increase OF business for January,
1912. The exports reached the enor-
nous total of 6,175,S73. This is far
better than the record for the same
month a year ago and is taken as an
indication that the shipping business
for the current year is going to be far
in excess of 1911. Seattle and Tacoma
are close rivals for honors, the Queen
city being slightly in the lead. Puget
Sound imports aggregated 50, S44, 900.
The collections of the Port Townsend
Office amounted to S138,o28.

Every person who attended the Orpheum ihratrr last evening was greatly surprised at the neat, Ip- to-datr stage erected. The ad- vancrd vaudeville sketches made one of the best shows yet seen in the city. The orchestra played Irish selections. Mrs. Scdgwicke sang beautifully illustrated song. MT. Thos. Dalton received a big reception for his Scotch songs in costume. The IriSh-JeW sketch by Gillis and Henry brought down the house. Their make up in character was fine. The photo slide was of pr. Cas- well and all are wondering who will be next. All the pictures were classy and strictly new re- leases. This fine program will be repeated again tonight and pa irons should not fail to boost this up-t6-date show. Program:
 |. Selection by orchestra of five pieces.
 ?. "Such is the Kingdom" strong melodrama portraying the life of a girl of high ideals and little experience.
 3. Dream of Dreams," illus tratcd song by Mrs. Sedgwicke.
 4."Marine Views Along the Bay of Naples" exquisite scenic pie ture of calm and storm.
 4. Scotch Novelty in kilts, by ThOs. Dalton.
 ,. "So Shall Yc Reap" IMP, a powerful feature film.
 6. Itish-Jew sketch in charac- ter by Henry and Gillis, introduc- ing the great Irish soing, "Tis inc Hat My Father Wore Upon St. Patrick's Day"

HATFIELD HAS
 G00D FUTURE

Tod Date and Hogan Olson, who have been driving a tunnel on the Mayfleld property near Columbia bay, returned to town on Satur- day with their crews, having com pleted their contract of 300 feet.
 They report splendid show ing on the property and state that all doubt that the property is valuable mine has been dispelled. Two tunnels have been run in on the lead, the upper a distance
 i25 feet, the lead at that point being I-2 feet wide and carry ing values of $25 tO the ton throughout. The lower tunnel is in a distance of 325 feet, 9l feet of which is drift on the lead, which has widened 10 fully 12 feet and carried greater values than the ore in the upper level. The depth attained al the face of the drift is about 25O feet.
 Samples of ore from the lower iuilii'l LII 'uSht l'' it1N II uTt lllSU- ly mincralizrd, and shows consid- crable free gold. As yet no assay has been made t0 determine it's value, but specimens powdered and banned yielded many colors, sufficient to show that the orc will pay a handsome profit over the cost of mining and milling.
 The work of developing the claims will be continued through out the summer, and another con- tract will be let within few days. Manager Reese is very enthusias- tic over the showing made and expects to have a mill on the property and in operation before snow flies next fall.
