OIL FROM DEVILS CLAW
A. x. U. Professor Finds Use For a
Well Known Kansas Weed

Lawrence, Kans., June 23.-Prof, h,
II. S. Bailey of the university of Kan
sas has discovered a process for eX.
tracing oil from the Devils Claw, a
common Kansas weed, which grows in
abundance in tne southwestern part
of the state. The seeds of the plant
yield a meal cake high in nutritye
value and hence good for stock food,
after the oil is expressed from them.
The oil content of the seeds is as high
as 60 per cent.
BY hydrogenating this oil, product
similar to Cottolene, Crisco.. etc. may
be obtained.

AN EMPTY SACK.

Did you ever stop to figure who
picks up that empty sack that you
carelessly toss into the street? Who?
Why, the street cleaners, of course.
Who pays the street cleaners? Why,
the city, of course? Who pays the
city? Why-why-you and l and
the rest of the taxpayers, of course.
Economy begins with the little
things. 1t may not be economy to
cut out the street cleaning depart
ment and allow the streets of the city
to become one big rubbish dump,
but it is economy for you. Mr.. Citi-
zen, to carry that empty sack few
feet farther and put 1t in can pro-
vided for the purpose. Then why not
go a little farther and impress the
idea on the minds of the children? A
boy or girl is the most rabid enthusi-
asst along lines in which he or she
becomes interested. Arouse little
interest in a spotless city and the
children will do the rest.

FIRE.

Last Saturday was fire prevention
day, and in many cities of the state
wide observation was made of the
day, the purpose of which had been
proclaimed by the governor. In
Portland big parade and special no.
tice in the schools were features. In
Ashland the day passed practically
unnoticed. This is not as it should
be. Fire loss in Ashland ran up into
many thousands of dollars during the
past year and few and far between
were the fires which very little pre-
caution would not have prevented.
To the newspaper man who trots
around reporting fires, it is notice
able that in most cases no one has
the least idea how fire started. If
the owner can't think of anything
else, he charges it up to "spontane-
GUS combustion, matches gnawed
by mice" or defective wiring"
These ancient and hoary stock causes
should be given a rest. They are
badly overworked. They have been
the goat for many offences they new
er committed.
There are more people who can
guess how fires started than are will
ing to admit it. This does not mean
that they burn their own buildings
for the insurance. II is simply that
they are ashamed of their stupid acts
OF thoughtlessness.
Nine-tenths of the fires come from
some little act of personal reckless
ness. The custom of throwing light
ed matches into waste baskets and
other rubbish wipes out regularly its
millions of property. Failure to clean
out chimneys and smoke pipes is
fruitful cause. Many people allow
stovepipes to rust out. A fire OF
light refuse is started in the fall, and
the sparks emerge freely from the
rotten pipe. People will open all the
drafts of a furnace or stove and go
off and lock up the house. Soon the
oyerheated pipe sets unprotected
woodwork afire.
Another wretched habit is allowing
a mass OF flimsy packing cases and
packing material to collect in base
ments. II fire prevention day could
arouse people to the stupidity and
costliness of such careless ways, il
weuld be we'll worth making legal
holiday OF il.

2l4,OCO People
Killed on Tracks

"In the last twenty-five years ap-
proximately 200 people have been
killed on the railroads of the United
States, and of this number 113,4S0,
or over SO per cent, were trespass-
ers," said R. ]. Clancy, assistant to
the general manager of the Southern
Pacific, speaking before the Civic
Auditorium Safety Conference in San
Francisco, September 2S.
"Trespassing," he continued, "re-
suits in more people being Killed so
far as railway operation is concerned
than from all other causes, yet legis-
lative bodies, state and national, have
confined their efforts entirely to safe
ty appliance legislation and have con-
tinued to disregard the appeals for
trespass legislation made to them by
the cemeteries and hospitals of this
country every day of every year. A
careful review of statistics makes the
conclusion irresistible that care in
the employment of men and require
ment of safe practices, Supplemented
by trespass legislation effectively ad
ministered, will do more to lessen
rail casualties than all the safety de-
vices genius has afforded.
"The United States is the only civ
ilized country in the world that has
failed to legislate against trespassing,
the consequence offwhich is best il
lustrated in comparison with similar
results in other civilized countries
where legislation against trespass OBJ
tains and where the casualties incl
dent to trespass are very few in com
parison with the United States"
Mr.. Clancy called attention to re-
suits of observation tests on automo-
biles, teams and pedestrians at rail-
way crossings and the Importance of
safety practices in this connection.
"In 1914" he said, "at thirty-four
different crossings taken promiscu-
ously to obtain average conditions,
out of 16,4S2 automobiles, 17,755
teams and 54,S35 pedestrians, or a
total of S9,072, with the number of
tracks at such crossings varying at
from one to fifteen, and the number
of trains over such crossings varying
from one to 100, 1879, or only fifteen
hundredths of 1 per cent, stopped
and looked in both directions.
Superintendent w. H. Whelan of
the Los Angeles division of the COM
pany called attention to the Southern
Pacific expenditures in safety work.
"The results of the company's ac-
tivities in this direction are reflected
in its accident record" he said. "For
the month of June, 1915, for instance,
the number of employees injured per
1 900 dropped from s per cent last
year to per cent this year"

THE PAGING OF LETTERS.

Some one has started a newspaper
discussion about the proper way to
page letters. II may be a minor
matter. But a considerable number
OF bad words are constantly ELECTED
by the eccentricities OF some people
in this respect.
Formerly people wrote letters in a
straightforward way. They begun
on page /. turned the leaf over and
called 1t page 2, and so on with and
four. Now they may start anywhere
and jump to any page on the sheet.
One common method is to jump from
page l TO page 4, then write pages 3
and 2. Others will jump from page
to page 3. then take and 4, argu-
ing that the two front sides OF the
leaves should be covered before the
two back sides.
Probably the real reason for these
peculiarities is the desire to give
some originality to a letter. It is
apt to be done by the same people
who adopt a very striking manner
Of penmanship. which is exceedingly
stylish but very illegible. The best
written letter is the one written
without pretense. in the most obvi-
Gus way. the pages following like the
pages in a book.

THE OCCULT SCIENCE OF LAW.
fsaturdaY Evening Post. J

Law-more especially criminal law
has usually been an occult science.
It is still the practice in Burma, we
believe, to give two disputants can
dies of the same size, to be lighted at
the same time. The one whose can
die burns longest gets the judgment
against the other.
Less than a hundred years ago a
defendant in an English criminal
trial appealed to the ordeal of battle,
and the court was more or less sur
prised to find that the ancient law
on which he relied had never been
Determining a mans guilt
or innocence by his ability to walk
on hot plowshares. or carry a hot
iron, or drink a poisonous decoction,
or by throwing him bound into wa
ter, has been practiced for ages
among many peoples. The medieval
method of letting accused and accus-
er fight it out with weapons was
common over Europe.
Our modest ancestors confessed
their inability to find the merits of
The cause, and so relegated the whole
affair to the intervention of super
natural agencies. The main differ
ence is that we are less modest. In
stead of the ordeal of battle or the
Did key-and-Bible test or the sieve

1 game of trip-the-court. If he can

Plans to Study 1915
Boxed Apple Crop

Washington, D. c., Oct. Com
plying with numerous requests from
the growers councils, chambers Of
commerce, growers and shippers Or
ganizations in the states of Washing
ton, Oregon, Idaho and Montana, the
office of markets and rural organiza-
tion of the United States Department
of Agriculture has made plans to es-
tablish temporary headquarters in
the northwest for the study Of the
distribution of the 1915 boxed apple
crop.
The plan as outlined is based upon
assurance that the office of markets
and rural organization will receive
the cooperation of all those interest
ed in the apple industry. for without
this cooperation the efforts of the
office would not produce valuable re-
suits.
1t is probable that the field head
quarters for this work will be in Spo-
kane, because of the accessibility OF
that point to the apple territory in
the northwestern states.
The work which the office will do
is not that of a telegraphic market
news service, but rather contemplates
the collection of mail and the COM
pilation of data and issuance of week
ly bulletins concerning the shipments
and destination of the northwestern
boxed apples. In this connection
similar work will be carried on to a
certain extent in the apple sections
of Colorado, Utah and California.
