AND SOLAR SYSTEM
New Suggestion Has Stirred Up Sci.
entists-Existence of Gaseous
Masses Now Believed.

1t is suggested that some of the
striking changes manifested by GER
tain comets in executing their orbits
are due to the fact that they encoun-
ter masses of gas in interplanetary
space, and that they are not moving
in a vacuum, says a writer in the Sci
entific American. If there are such
gaseous masses, then in view of the
inclinations and extent of their orbits,
comets are peculiarly fitted to act as
explorers, and there is every proba-
bility that they will sooner or later en-
counter such masses. The planets
move in a narrow zone near the plane
of the ecliptic, while the inclination
of the cometary orbits is sometimes
considerable, varying for the periodic
comets from three degrees to 1852 de-
grees. AS a consequence, comets at
tain regions of the solar system, where
no other bodies pentrate. Many phe-
seem to receive a satisfactory
explanation If the existence of gaseous
masses scattered through the solar
system be admitted. These gaseous
masses, probably Of different chemical
constitution, may be considered as the
residue of the initial nebula, having es-
capped the phenomena Of combustion
which gave rise to the other members
of the solar system.

The Practice of KICKING.

Kicking, like charity, should begin at
home. 1t ought to be the duty of every
body at home to object, persistently
and effectively, to the specific over
crowded street car, the badly paved
road, the encroaching doorstep, the
neglected yard, the malodorous cess
pool, the irresponsible motor C and
the reckless railroad-especially If he
have any personal part in the main
tenance of similar abuses. If the ten
dency of these evils were rightly ap-
pretended, If a part only Of the eff
fort that is expended, presumably, in
~objecting to g~eneralized, foreign and
futile subjects were bestowed on spe-
cifc and tangible details, If we would
forego the emotional pleasure of the
impersonal ~"muckrake" to assail the
evil at our very feet-especially If
each one of us we're careful to avoid
offense in matters of the same kind
our country would surely be a much
fairer one.-Unpopular Review.

ALLEN HAD A GOOD THING

An echo of the operations o. V.
Allen, the defaulting state treasurer,
who is now in the penitentiary, de-
'veloped in an action brought by At
rtorney James M. Stevens in this city,
before the district court at Salmon
City a few days ago, in which a re-
ceiver was asked for the Idaho Bond
& Loan company.
The court acquiesced and has ap-
pointed Tim Dore as such receiver.
Associated with Judge Stevens is At
torney C. R. Clute of Blackfoot, and
the suit was instituted at the in
stigation of several parties who seek
recovery of amounts paid on notes to
the Allen combination. Attorneys
Richard & Haga of Boise represent
the company.
1t seems that the bond and loan
concern, of which o. V. Allen was
president, did a very thriving bust
ness in the Lemhi and other sections,
and it is stated that people were in
duced to make large investments in
the concern, and some Of them may
get some protection in that they fur
nished notes in lieu of cash. 1t is
stated further that the assets of the
company, 80 far as developed, appears
to be about $4,000, which is not
enough, on the basis of liabilities
figured at the present time, to pay a
divident of 10 per cent.
It is interesting to note in connec-
tion with the PERSONAL that figured
as members of the company for some
time are names of o. v. Allen and
Fred M. Coleman, both of whom are
in the penitentiaryy J. "A. Givens,
cashier of the defunct Nampa bank

indicted for completely in the opera

tionable and otherwise.
Another interesting feature Of AL
lens bonding company is said to be
that It was Incorporated for $500,000

per share, and that much Of the stock
was sold at 1925 per share, or at q

ONE CAUSE OF EYEsTRAIN
Glossy Paper Exceedingly Harmful
Cream and Pale Blue Tints Said
to Be the Best.

It is said that the reflection of light
from glossy paper is particularly hard
on the eyes. Some persons have gone
so far as to recommend that no cal
endered or coated paper be used in any
schoolbooks, since glossy paper re.
fleets light rays directly without diff
fusing them, to save the eyes. The
public and the printers, on the other.
hand, have been demanding more high
ly glazed paper on account of its rich
ness and fitness for half-tone work. To.
prove their point, the antiglare socie.
ties have printed a number Of pamph-
lets on mat and even bond paper.
While the half-tone work is not so
good, beautiful results can be OBJ
tanned with the Offset process, and the
higher cost of the paper Is compen-
stated for by its lightness. From rough
surfaced paper the study has been car
ried to tinted paper. Cream and pale
blue tints seem to involve less eye
strain than white paper, and If the
tints are alternated throughout a book,
each page brings a restful change to
the eyes. The thickness Of the paper
and the presence of too much wood
pulp has been considered, along with
the question of size and legibility OF
type. The whole discussion has been
brought about by the increase in eye
trouble among school children.

Never Got Through Reresford Book.


During the Boxer rebellion in China
one of the missionaries was reading
Lord Charles Beresford's book on "The
Breakup of China" while the bullets
of the Boxers were raining round.
He had not gone very far into the
volume when the pages wooed him
to sleep. The book lay beside him on
the pillow. Biff-ff-ff! came a Mann
licher bullet through the window, in
a bee line for the mans head, but
Lord Charles book lay in the bee line.
The bullet stuck in the book, but
failed to penetrate it.
The missionary jumped up, gave
thanks for his escape, packed up the
book ready for the first parcel post,
and addressed to Lord Charles Beres-
ford with a polite note. He said: my
Lord-I think it only right to send you
this copy of your excellent book i.
as neither myself nor the Boxers bull
lets can get through it."

She stood still staring at the picture

Steps aroused her. and then her aunt's

She felt. indeed a sense Of rebellion at
being deprived of all these gayeties which
her heart SO hungered for. But Aunt
Anna was strict. She kept her children
at home evenings. and Beatrice was to
her as her own child. Aunt Anna; code
of morals was brief. but emphatic. A
good young person was one who stayed
in nights and went to bed at o'clock,
and where there was no inclination for
this regime it must be enforced.
At first Beatrice had had a happy ex-
pectation Of freedom for herself from her
aunt's rigid discipline. Jim had appeared,
and she had seen in him release A mar
ried woman was responsible to nobody
except her husband, She had intended
to marry Jim, if lie wanted her. Jim
was young mechanic, favored of Uncle
Mat and Aunt Anna, and favored by
Beatrice until Louis Kerr came home
from the west. where he had been on a
pleasure tour. and settled down to help
his father in the Office Somehow Jim
never seemed the same after that. 1t
had not troubled her. when finally he
went away without speaking. She sup
posed he would never come back. He
was in another town at work, and there
would be other girls. of course Yet she

thought she kept it for the frank friendli-

THE EVENING STORY.
IN HER LITTLE ROOM.
Copyright. 1918. by W. werner)

The house had quieted down for the
evening. Uncle Mat had gone to the
lodge: Aunt Anna was calling on sick
neighbor; Evangeline and Mortimer
were playing dominoes in the kitchen.
There was nothing to keep Beatrice
down stairs. so she went up to her
room-the little. low -ceilinged room
that looked into the top of the big
apple tree. There were no leaves upon
the apple tree yet, but the promise not
only of leaves but of blossoms was
there. Through the open window sweet
airs strayed. and the spring moon
smiled down upon everything.
Beatrice sat beside the bureau and
took her work basket. She took few
stitches and then sat quietly thinking.
She was very tired. 1t had been a hard
day in the office, with Mr.. Kerr impos-
sible to please. Louis, his son had
not come in at all. Beatrice had Won
seemed not the same place without him.
She was astonished at the way she
had missed him, and yet when he was
there she did not care so much for him.
This was very strange, for all the
other girls were wild over Louis. He
was always laughing or making them
laugh. Sometimes his father repri-
manded him for his familiarity, and
Beatrice understood by that that Louis
was not supposed to pay attention to
mere working girl. If he did he
stopped without raising the girl
Beatrice knew very well that she had
no business to think about Louis Kerr
at all. And yet she did think about him
great deal. She was only twenty, and
it was not pleasant at Aunt Annals. She
did not, in fact, get all the comfort she
was entitled to for her 81 week. But
such as it was she had no other place
in the world, and in a rude way they were
all kind to her. This was the best bed
room in the house, and it was hers. All
her girlish belongings were here 1t was
pity that the room was too cold in the
winter and too hot in the summer. and
that she was often driven out of it by its
lack of comfort. But even if it had been
the cosiest place in the world she would

CLEAN WOUNDS DON'T EXIST.
Chief of Belgian Field Hospital Says
He Never Saw One.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON. July 5.-Clean wounds ap-
parently do not exist, said DR.. H. S.
Souttar, late surgeon-in- chief of the
Belgian field hospital, in a lecture be-
fore the Royal Society of Medicine.
Much has been written about the clean
wound left by the modern bullet. but
the doctor never met one in his ex-
perience in Flanders, and a colleague
who had treated 10000 wounds in the
present campaign confirmed this opin-
ion Every wound is infected, all
though not all the organisms produce
disease.
Dr. Souttar found it was a mistaken
idea a wounded man could apply his
first dressing properly. 1t required
clean hands and non-interference with
the actual wound. His instructions
were that the skin around the wound
should be disinfected with iodine, car
bolic or even soap and water, but
the wound should not he touched Elk
ternal appearances of wounds are often
deceptive Back of a small puncture in
the skin may be cavity as large as a
fist, perhaps with piece of shell or but
