khakl.clad Women Salute.

The number Of women in uniform
of various kinds has been attracting a
good deal of attention recently, and
the action of women in khaki who sa-
lutte army officers in the street has
been commented upon. It appears
that those who salute do 80 on their
own initiative and that the practice
is quite against the spirit Of the
Women's Volunteer reserve and of the
Women's Reserve ambulance, two Of
the most prominent Of women's corps.
The uniform of the Women's Hos
pital corps is khaki color and was SO
before the war office gave them recog-
milton. The yeomanry nurses also
wear khaki and men who are back
from the front and know what both
these corps have done in Belgium and
France are said to pay the tribute Of
a salute to all women in khaki. French
and Belgian officers, In particular, are
quick to offer this courtesy.-LondoI

MADE STUDY OF FISH
Angler Now Knows lust How to
Lure Them.
Probably From This Time Grand Rap
Ids Man viii Be EnvIed by His
Less Fortunate Companions
Of Fishing Trips.

Several years ago, when the out
come Of a fishing trip to him was en-
tirely a matter of conjecture, Leo F.
Troy Of Grand Rapids, Mich, better
known among his piscatorial associ-
ates as Hard Luck Troy, because OF
the frequency with which he returned
from angling excursions without re-
suits, conceived an idea which has
since made him quite famous, and
which might be copied with effect
by every other fisherman in the coun-
try who has been forced to spend good
ducats to ward off attacks of wifeiy
ridicule.
In the parlor of his residence he
installed a glass tank two by two by
five feet. The installation was made
in the fall of the year. In the tank
he placed several large and small
mouthed bass of medium size and
members of other fish families com
mon In the north temperate zone. AL
winter long during the day and at
night he cultivated the acquaintance
ship for the fish, edging closer to the
tank at each sitting, until finally the
fish, skittish and afraid at the outset
became very tame, thus giving him ar
almost upheard-of opportunity fol
study.
Once firmly established in their goot
graces, Troy too steps to solve a prob
lem which had perplexed him fol
years, and which is the cause Of dis
appointment for the average success
full angler. He wanted to know tn
most expeditions way to bait a hool
with q minnow in order to catch
bass. With this idea in mind h
dropped several chubb minnows in tn
tank.
In a moment they had disappeared
| Several more were dropped, and Tro
was surprised a moment later to Sc

badly cut, belly up toward the surface

Found Ancient Watch.

While hoeing in his garden, DR.. Ed

covered a watch in q solid silver case
bearing a hallmark which showed that
it was made in London in 1884. The

of peculiar design. All the metal parts
are intact except the steel, which has

him for the big high school audito-
rum was hardly more than half fill
ed.
DR.. Conwell delivered his most IA
nous lecture, Acres of Diamonds" :"
and 1t was the 5l02nd time that he
has delivered that lecture in the past
55 years. He came to Pendleton, he
said in the beginning. to help rather
than to entertain, but he did both.
Incidentally he helped in a material
way a poor young man who Is maxi
ing his way through a Delaware coll

the proceeds was sent to this young
man. 1t is what DR.. Conwell has
been doing for 3S years and more
than 1000 young men have him to
thank for their college education,
The lecture itself was directed at
the young people Of the city and was
calculated to inspire them with right
ideals. The lecture takes its title
from a story which DR.. Conwell tells
in the introduction, the story of
Persian gentleman who sacrificed his
home, happiness, country and life in
a search for diamonds in foreign
lands and of the subsequent discov-
cry OF field of diamonds upon the
very land which he had sold when
he set out upon his futile quest. This
story was significant OF the purpose
of the lecture. an appeal to the young
people to search for the opportunities
at their back door rather than in
distant fields which look so green.

rich for the wealthy man, he said,
