Some one writes to ask why it is so much more apt to rain at noon and 6 p. m. when people are return ing from work than at asy other time? Well. it is probably due to the same causes that in the rural dis triets make it shower just as the farmer is trying to get in a. load of hay.

Portland, March 3O-Dr. Viola Mte Coe, one of the principal own s-h of the Morningside sanitarium' where the insane from Alaska are confined, denies there is any grouni for complaint as made by the Alask legislature in session at Juneau, and the criticisms contained in the re- pert of the judiciary committee Of that body.
 Dr. Coe said that the sanitarium is inspected twice a year by re- presentatives of the government.
 She stated that the patients are well cared for and continued:
 We can accomodate 200, whilst there are now only 96, therefore the charges of overcrowding made by the Alaska legislature are untrue.
 There are also ample sleeping quarters. Several sleeping porchas have been added since the last gov err. ment inspection"

CAPABLE CONVICT
 PRISON ARCHITECT

Denver, March 3J-Eight years ago Leslie E. Francisco could neith- CT read nor write. He was convict ed oe aiding in the murder of q man sentenced to the penitentiary Now his sentence has been com muted. In two years he will be free, and not only can he read and write but he is a capable architect.
 Warden Tom Tynan, of the Color ado state prison brought Francisco to light when he came to Denver to urge Governor Carlson's approval CT a S1O,O0O appropriation to fit out the new administration building at the penitentiary. He brought along the plans of the building. They were drawn by Francisco, and were as complete as any architect could turn out.
 Not only did this young Francis co draw the plans for the building, said Tynan, 'but he supervised the construction of it. Eight years agf he could neither read nor write but look at that! Got it all from correspondence school. Can you beat it?" And Tynan answered him self with an emphatic ''No."
 The warden is bubbling over with enthusiasm and his plans for the prison. He is proud of the drawing Francisco is only 23 years old. He was sentenced from Colorado Springs.
 The administration buildings he planned and built is constructed of stone quarried by the convicts. Ev- cry bit of mortar and cement and other material, with tho exception O the steel was turned out by the prisoners. The building is 100 feet long, and 50 feet deep and three stories high. It cost the state abou $12:500. Now Tynan ij asking the state to fit it up with steel cabin ct and filing cases.

PACIFIC COAST
 LEAGUE OPENS

San Francisco, March S0-Theyr yre off in the Pacific Coast league.
 The opening gun in the 1915 bass ball season was fired today in three of the larger cities west of the Rockies when the Coast league, one of the larger minor league organiza- tions, got under way. San Fran cisco, Los Angeles and Salt Lake were the cities where Hot Stove leagues were disbanded and the fans came into their own.
 Here's the way they lined up; Oakland at San Francisco; Port land at Los Angeles; Vernon at Salt Lake. The usual ceremonies, including brass bands, parades and speeches, preceded the games. And then the fans and fanettes settled down, so far as the Pacific Coast is concerned, to eight months of base ball.
 The same old brand of predictions were voiced by the managers of the several clubs.
 Every mIn on my team is a champion" said Happy" Hogan manager of the Vernon Tigers, "and can't see how they keep Us from annexing the pennant.
 The five other managers in the league were to the front with simil- ar statements, but unbiased eX- perts have declared the San Fran cisco club to be the greatest aggre- gation of players ever assembled in minor league. This team was con structed by Harry Wolverton, form CT manager of the New York High landers.
 Several changes have occurred in the Pacific Coast league since the close of the 1914 season. Cal Ewing and Frank Ish, two of the best known baseball men in the country, disposed of their holdings Tn the San Francisco club to Henry Berry, formerly owner of the Los Angeles club. Berry disposed Of his interests in the Los Angeles club to John Powers, son of Alder man Powers of Chicago. After sev- eral disastrous seasons, the Sacra- mento franchise was sold to Salt Lake, one of the best baseball cities in the west. Cliff Blankernship Is manager of the Mormon" team.

PEOPLE SHOULD BEWARE
 OF ANTl-FAT CURES

Washington, March So-The de- partment of agriculture, in bulle- tin just issued on its recent inves- tigation of anti-fat humbugs, states that a common ingredient of the obesity cures is thsroid, a drug made from the thyroid gland, which is still puzzling the medical world after years of study.
 Thyroid, in the opinion of the government ertists, Is far loo dangerous a drug for inexperienced persons to experiment with.
 When used as a drug it has a very powerful effect on the whole human system and this information should be sufficient to warn any one against dosing himself blindly with it," says the departments bull letin.
 For medical use number of shcep's thyroids are dried at a temperature of from 90 to 100 de grees and then powdered. This pow Ger may be administered either dry, or when treated with glycerine as a liquid.
 Tt indubitably does reduce tis- sue" says the department, "and therefore those preparations which contain it are especial favorites with these persons who desire to rid themselves of what they constde is superfluous flesh. Unfortunate ly it is not possible to remove ti5- sue at will without running great risk of running health at the same time. Abnormal depc sits of fat are frequently accompanied by disorders of the heart, blood vessels and kid neys. To remove these deposits abruptly may well produce serious physical effect upo. the opera ton of the internal organs.
 For this reason the medical pro- fession has long recognized thai obesity should be considered as 6 condition worthy of the most skill full treatment, and that a cure is never easily and quickly attained Thyroid preparations, moreover, arc particularly objectionable because O the direct effect of the substances composing them. These substances administered in drug form, may pro duce symptoms which arc commonly associated with certain forms o' goiter, namely, rapid ard irregular pulse, palpitation of the heart, diff ficulty in breathing, paralysis ane even death."

HEIR TO THE HOORAH'
 AT POLLS NEXT WEEK

The story of 'The Heir to the Hoorah," the comedy drama in which the Poli Players appear next week is one of interest and which holds an audience from start to finish The heir is the little baby whose arrival brings together two estranged young married people and the Hoorah being Bonan- ga mine out West. In the beginning of the play Joe Lacy, one of the part ners in the Hoorah mine, has gone to New York, and through the designing influence of the girls mother. has married tender society bud, good enough and all that, but entirely un- der her mothers mind, and the hot house training she has had, having once been wealthy. Immediately after the marriage, Joe realizes something of what he is up against, but planes the mother-in-laW--neve his wife, for everything. She is shocked at his rough Western mannerisms as she styles them, his speech, lack of so- eiety, training, clothes. in fact every-g thing she can find fault with she does, and through Joe's sincere love for his young wife, nnother-in-law is grad- ually getting him whipped, too. It is just after the wedding trip is over and they are back in New York that Joe's partners, consisting of his big brother Dave and Bud Young, from whom he sneaked away when he got married, also several other Western friends and mine owners, come East to pay their respects. The appear ance of these types of wild old West in fashionable drawing room, their mistakes and the scrapes they get i'm to form running fire vein of the most Imaginable comedy ever injected into Western play
 Their super-disgust with Joe and his allowing himself to become so utterly .Iocoed'' finally drives them all to seek solace in strong drink. Joe leaves his young wife and goes to Europe for nearly year, and when he returns and the boys are giving him grand spread, at the hotel he gets the news of the birth, of his heir and then those raw Westerners go simply wild, and their efforts to do something for the kid, are ras ludricous as were their former at-

NO WAR BETWEEN
 JAPAN AND CHINA
l.. Hata of Tokyo Declares Business men of Japan Do Not Want Strus-

Hartford, July S,--"No, I don't think there will be war between Ja- pan and China. War is bad for bus mess, and businessmen in Japan don't want war. Ultimatum, or no ultimatum, don't think there will be any war. Enough war is being waged now, as it is.
 That was the opinion expressed last night at the Allyn House by F. Hata of Tokyo, Japan, who, with two com panions, arrived in Hartford from Boston late yesterday afternoon. MT. Hata, who spoke English very we'll, said that he had had no first hand information from Japan, but that he was certain that this was no time for his country to wage another war.
 Mir. Hata said that his presence in this country was due to private busi- ness and to a desire to see the beau ties of the United States. He said he was in the electrical business in Tokyo, and manifested much inter est when he was told that an electric engine drew him from New York to New Haven when he was on his way to Boston.
 "I think your scenery in Connecti- cut is beautifu1,'' said Mir. Hata. It reminds me of Japan for the many hills. And Hartford is such pretty city-and busy This city IS DIE insurance center, isn't it? Wasn't the first accident policy written nere = MT. Hata seemed to be pretty we'll informed about Hartford as busi- ness center, and he asked many aues- tions about Connecticuts manufactur- CTS.
 Mir. Hata's companions are M Nal sushiro of Osako, and I. FuruJama or Kobe, Japan. Int Japanese travellers insisted that they were here merely on a pleasure trip, and that they knew nothing about war except what they read in American newspapers.

PRESERVE MEAT SUPPLY.
England Takes Measure Against Ac.
 tiyity of Submarines.

ENglanu lAKeS MeaSurC ASalnSI aC-
 tavity of Submarines.
 London, July s.-The Earl of Sel- borne, president of the board of ag- riculture, in moving in the House of Lords last evening, the second read : ing of the bill which empowers the government to prohibit the slaughter of young stock so as to preserve the meat supply, expressed the opinion that the Germans were putting their whole shipbuilding strength into the construction of submarines. German submarines, he said, were taking a steady toll of British ships, and as the war continued, it was probable that more submarines would be engaged in this task.
 It would not be the fault of the German admiralty, he continued. if they failed to deal fatal blow at the carryingt trade which supplies Great Britain with food. As it was, even if there was no dfn1inution of the over seas supply of meat, there would probably be less for the use of the civil population. The bill passed the second reading.
