Responsibility and a sense Of humor
are also associated by thoughtless peo-
pie. Surely our foremost hunorist
cannot be denied sense OF humor, and
yet when his publishing house failed
Mark Twain followed SCOTS example,
assumed the debt as personal and paid
it all.
Am easy going disposition is all right
SO long as it's owner is not easy going
at the expense of other peoples hard
going. When he crosses that line he
becomes just plain selfish. He may
manage to hide behind the silly fiction
of his artistic temperament for while,
but sooner or later, people viii find

@HERE are some faults OF hui
man kind that are too little
condoned; there are other
i faults that are too much con-
doned; and prime among the
latter is the selfishness that SO often
masquerades as an easy going dis
position.
Nobody wants reputation for sell
fishness. Yet there are many people
who actually feel proud Of their repu-
tation for hardness. for inability to be
businesslike, for Incidence. for care
lessness about appointments, and for
similar habits of irresponsibility. They
regard all these things as the sign Of
an artistic temperament and expect a
special dispensation Of tolerance from
their neighbors. They tell about their
own carelessness with evident relish.
and delight in the thoughtless laugh
ter which they provoke.
If you should strip the flummery of
artistic temperament away from them
and reveal their conduct to them as
simon pure selfishness they would be
indignant at you and think 1t was
merely because you were too practical
and narrow minded to understand
them. Great writer's and artists, they
will tell you, have always been careless
and impractical. Now even IL that
were true, 1t would not prove these
qualities desirable. Genius has its
faults and is great in spite of them,
not because OF them. Though genius
often writes an illegible hand, that does
not make illegible writing virtue.
But the idea that genius and easy
going responsibility are inseparable
Is utterly false. A man may be a genius
Of the highest order and yet have a
rigid sense Of right and duty.
Take Sir Walter Scott, for instance.
Nobody denies that he had the finest
kind of artistic temperament, yet he
had so great a sense of responsibility
that when the publishing firm with
which he was associated went into
bankruptcy (though he could havc
easily compromised with his creditors)
he assumed the debt of 10000 pounds
as personal and declared, IF live and
retain my health no man shall lose a
penny by me- In two years, by con-
slant writing, he realized the enormous
sum of 10000 pounds. The overwork
caused his breakdown and death, but
by the sale of his copyrights all his
debts were eventually liquidated and
his splendid promise fulfilled.
Responsibility seems to be associat-
ed with lovableness, and many people

BOISE PROGRESSIVE
CLUB HOLDS MEETING

At an enthusiastic meeting OF the
Boise Progressive club held last night
at the residence of H. l.. Randall on
the bench resolutions were unanimous
ly adopted approving of the recon-
mendations of the state board Of edu-
cation to abolish the Albion normal
school and the Academy of Idaho at
Pocatello as separate state institutions
and substituting therefor two Junior
colleges"
The discussion was participated in
by nearly all present and the question
was considered in all its phases. Ac-
cording to the report of the state board
Of education the changes which were
Endorsed would enable the board to
furnish better educational facilities at
20 per cent of the present cost of main
tenance of the Albion and Pocatello
institutions. There was disposition
shown to postpone Endorsement Of the
balance of the plan to spend the re-
naming so per cent in aiding high
schools throughout the state taking
up vocational training, but to approve
such expenditure only as the financial
ability of the taxpayers might justify.
No action, however, was taken on this
phase of the discussion.
Disposition was shown on the part
of some to prefer the establishment of
the Junior colleges" as separate in
situations from the high schools in
the communities where such colleges
| might be established. was manifested,
but the point was not urged, especially
| in view of the showing made by the
state board that the other plan would
promote the greater economy without
serious interference with the work to
be performed.

nF course you remember the story
of the Mr.. and Mrs. Robin who
lived in the old apple tree that
was knocked down during the storm.
And how their nest was rescued and
placed in safe new location by two
Interested children.
About week after the nest was set
tied In its new place, Ave tiny little
robins pecked their way out of the
shells and opened their mouths for
food. As you can quite imagine, Mr..
and Mrs. Robin were very proud Of
their babies and happily set to work
to find the choicest worms and the
tenderest food. /.
For several days Mr.. Robin foraged
for food and Mrs. Robin sheltered the
babies and fed them tenderly. But as
the babies grew bigger their appetites
grew, too. and poor Mr.. Robin grew
quite thin and peeked hunting 10 much
food.
81 think I'll help you today" an
nounced Mrs. Robin, "the children will
be quite safe and ! am sure / can get
some nice fat worms in that garden
nearby"
So with Mr.. Robin she few down to
the garden and they scratched and dug
industrious1y. Twice they few back to
the nest with food for the babies.
Now think one more trip and they
will have had quite enough for break
fast" Mrs. Robin announced, after she
had fed them carefully, then ] will
stay and guard them all morning" So
down to the garden she few again.
Now, all this time, unnoticed by the
robins, two squatty blaclbirds had
perched on = nearby tree.
Look at that robins nest over
there" said one blackbird eagerly,
s'there are FIVE little robins and their
mother has left them; think we might
as well have those birds as not"
Too late now said the other black
bird, their mother is coming back"
Lets watch said the first blaekbird
maybe she will go away again"
So they watched carefully. Sure
enough the mother did go away for
her third trip for worms.
Hardy had she left the nest when

DEMONSTRATIONS ARE GIVEN
IN PUNCTURE TREATING.

J. T. Pollock, an assistant of the
Pollock Puncture Proof company of
Mount Vernon, Wash. spent a busy
morning today at the NJ. & H. garage
treating punctures in automobile tubes.
About 15 cars were treated, although
the regular free demonstration does not
begin until tomorrow. Mr.. Pollock
takes an inner tube of an automobile
casing, removes all the patches cover
ing holes up to and including a quarter
of an inch, injects a quantity of his
puncture cure, and without further re-
pair, the tire Is ready for use.
The great advantage of tho inven-
tion," said Mr.. Pollock this morning,
besides eliminating punctures. Is that
it keeps the pressure of the tire at one
point instead of allowing 1t to slowly
go down. and the lack OF sufficient air
pressure Is the greatest factor in the
destruction of tires"
Mr.. Pollock will be at the NJ. & H.
garage for several days. where he will
be pleased to give free demonstration
of his invention on the car of each
auto owner who may call.

TO VISIT KANSAS
Government Commission to In
vestigate Fuel OIL.
Supply for Navy May Be Piped
to Gulf.

Washington, May 1s.-The propo-
sftfon of providing an adequate sup
ply of fuel oil for the United States
navy is to be inquired into by the
government commission consisting OF
Indian Commissioner Sells and Lieu
tenant Richardson Of the navy, who
left here today for an extended trip
in the west. The investigation is the
result of q senate resolution and the
commission will report on the FEAST
bility, expense and desirability OF the
governments constructing. maintain
ing and operating a pipe line for the
transportation of oil from the mid
continent fields Of Oklahoma to the
gulf in order to supply the navy with
its fuel oil.
The commission already has held
extended hearings on the subject In
Washington and the present trip Is
for the purpose of obtaining first
ton and inquiry. The states to be
visited include Kansas. Oklahoma,
Texas and Louisiana.
The necessity of the government 3
making provision for an adequate
fuel oil supply for the navy was en-
phasized by Secretary Daniels recent
~. He explained that the navy last
year consumed thirty million gallons
Of oil and this year the amount was
certain to exceed IOO.O00,0OO. He
added that the consumption OF fuel
Oil in the future was serious prob
lem. The recent investigation of the
government commission here devel-
oped the fact that the United states
last year produced more than 24O.-
100000 barrels of crude oil or about
81 per cent Of the worlds supply.
Mexico about 8 per cent, Russia
about 16 per cent and the rest of the
world the remaining IL per cent.

is ten to twelve inches in height. The
pelican. like an aeroplane. cannot take
to it's wings without a long run on
smooth ground to get momentum,
