BEFORE THE TROUBLES COME
Why 1t ls Easy for Ho.sekeeper to Be
Pleasant In the Early Morn
ing Hours.

It was the first thing / noticed in
The Office of the busy mana little
square of pasteboard with this state
ment: BE pleasant until ten o'clock
In the morning and the rest of the day
will take care of itself" Probably the
thing that made 1t strike in at my first
glance was the fact that it was after
ten, and l had come to ask favor OF
q busy man, a writer In the Indianap-
oils News says. II he stayed pleasant
only till ten o'clock | wasn't certain
of the successful outcome of my ven
ture, but when he entered the little
room saw at glance that his early
morning attitude toward life had not
yet worn off. He was kind, courteous.
gentlemanly, and l shall remember
him as living up to his motto.
But would 1t work under all condi-
tons? I'd hate to say that 1t isn't
true-the statement that II you're
pleasant until ten o'clock the rest of
the day will take care of itself-be-
cause the man who said 1t Is gone, and
can't argue the question with me, but
I can say that maybe he hadn't tried
1t out in all trades. Take housekeep-
ing, for instance! Nearly any house
keeper can be pleasant until ten
o'clock, for 1t is after that time when
things begin to happen. Who ever
heard of dinner burning before 10 a.
m? Agents don't usually begin to
ring the doorbell until about that
time. Usually the telephone calls be-
that you must make your number Of
church calls Immediately, get some
one to help with your table at the next
church supper, be sure to attend an
important committee meeting, be at
the next club meeting without fail,
etc.
II unexpected friends or relatives
are going to drop in for dinner 1t will
be after ten o'clock. The postman
brings all your bad news after ten.
The afternoons bring more agents,
and callers, welcome and unwelcome.
The baby has the collie in the after
noon, If he's going to have 1t at all,
and the next sized one Is cross II he
fails to get his nap, and the older ones
come tramping in from school with
muddy feet, noisy voices and empty
stomachs. Then the man of the house
may put in call for hurry-up sup
per so he can get to an important lodge
meeting on time. In fact, it seems
that all the nerve-racking, brain-fag-
ging, back-breaking hours in the bust
ness of being a homemaker come after
ten o'clock in the morning.
Maybe some day we will get started
being so very, very pleasant early in
the morning that it will be like sliding
down steep hill, impossible for us to
stop-but some of US will have to have
q right smart push to get US started.

Real Harbinqer of Spring.

The grounding is accepted by many
as giving the first clue to when spring
may be expected. Others wait for the
robin, but all will concede that among
the real harbingers of spring is the
small boy playing keeps" When the
genuine vernal spirit is in the air it
unerringly is manifested by Young
America who instinctively turns to
marbles. The fever is not on him long,
but it is never-failing and always coin
cident with the breakup Of winter.

Mlnces Are Ripe.

Jay was spending the day with his
grandmother. Being only three and
one-half he was not allowed the va
riety of food that the grown-ups had.
When dessert came and he was served
with a dfminutive piece of mince pie,
his Joy and surprise almost overcame
him. With an air of ingratiating in
terest and dignity. he said. why,
mamma, I didn't know minces were
ripe"

appearance they have as often. con-
nected as sundered the peoples on
either side of them. They form today
no racial boundary. From the earliest
ages the people in the north have
pressed down over them and even the
Hottest Italian valleys on the south
slope of Monte Rosa itself are colon
lied by Teutonic stock. Thus 1t hap
pens that the Italian Ticino and Ital-
ian Tyrol both remain under Teutonic
government and the frontier of the
Alps has never, in fact, been the po-
litical frontier of Italy.
The Alpine playground of Europe
takes a great deal Of knowing. In a
visitors first season the great snow
mountains impose their eminence upon
him, and If he is likewise climber he
will have little attention to spare for
valleys, but will spend his wonder up-
on the glaciers and the high crags and
the great phenomena of the central
mountains. But when the first flush
OF novelty has passed from them the
maturer lover of the Alps finds de-
lights no less keen at lower levels. The
valleys have each character of their
own and the mountains themselves are
not all alike. There are mountains
built of crystalline rock and others of
limestones of different qualities and
colors. 1t is not necessarily the high
est and hardest that take the firmest
hold upon our affections.
The great Matterhorns and Schreck-
horns are always glorious, but SO are

Germans Use New Kind of Shell.

The Germans in the Dyinsk regions
are using a new she'll, which has a
cast-iron nose grooved internally and
in diameter, from which. several hours
after the shell has burst, there still
comes a strong odor of prussic acid
The shell, which is provided with
an arrangement to delay the explo-
sion, generally bursts on the ground
Wounds of the slightest character
from fragments of these shells, in
eyitably and usually very rapidly,
cause death.

quests Of Italian soil that Italy is now
seeking to rend from the grasp of the
Hapsburgs.
A glance at the map shows that
tongue of hill country, by nature Ital-
ian, which Austria holds-the west
side of it stretching down due south
from near the Stelvio to the head of
Lake Garda, whence it's eastern boun-
dairy slopes northeastward up to the
ridge of the Carnic Alps. Within this
triangle is contained one of the love-
Hest hill countries in the world. The
great snowy groups Of Ortler, Oetzthal.
Zillerthal and the Tauern do not be-
long to it. They are essentially Ger
man, these severe crystalline ranges.
But all that is below-the smiling val
leys, the crimsoned limestone peaks
and walls of the Dolomites, the rich
valleys that drain into the Adige or in
to Garda-these are Italian, Italian in
atmosphere, in color, in vegetation, In
architecture, In language and senti-
ment, and whatever else gives char
| acter to land.
To the traveller 1t is the Dolomite
mountains rather than the folk or any
other feature that distinguish this re-
gion. They are in their way good to
climb, but they are far more wonderful
to look at. Half a century ago their
peaks were mostly untrodden; now
guns have been mounted upon points
whose first ascent may have been
proudly chronicled within the memory
of living men.

ment Of this vast country. Crown
Point is where the new highway
makes turn and then drops 500 feet
in two miles, forming perfect figure
eight on grade not to exceed per
cent, one of the most remarkable
feats Of engineering In the country.
While the highway already reaches
west from Portland to the Pacific
ocean beaches and eastto central Ore
gon, the 40-mile stretch through the
gorge of the Columbia from Portland
to the Multnomah county line has
made possible view of the pictur-
esque gorge from an automobile. Be-
fore the completion of the hard-surfac-
ing of the roadway, in the fall Of 1915,
thousands of tourists, en- route to or
returning from the expositions in
California, inspected the new high
way and marveled at its beauties.
Model In Road Construction.
The Columbia River highway is one
of the best illustrations of modern
road construction to be found any
where. Permanency, grade, location
and drainage were the essential ele-
ments considered in the location Of
the highway. With width of "a feet,
maximum radius of 200 feet, bridges,
viaducts, culverts of concrete, all dan
crete walls, the highway, in engineer
ing and construction now presents
the very highest type Of modern road
building. There were many engineer
ing problems presented, such as the
descent from Crown Point to Latour-
ellie, drop of 500 feet in less than
two miles, yet keeping within the maxi
mum grade Of 5 per cent. This was
done by a sort Of switchback making
a perfect figure 8, the road paralleling
itself five times. Several miles fur
Their on, at Oneonta gorge, solid rock
precipice barred the way and a tun-
mel 100 feet long was bored. The ex-
cessive rainfall necessitated much at
tention to drainage, and long stretches
of concrete-lined bitches and pipes
line the road. To reduce the chances
of slides where cuts were necessary,
great walls Of dry masonry were con-
structed and seeds of grass were sown
to hold the earth intact. Everything
that could add to the beauty and per-
manency of the highway was taken
into consideration.
The United States government has
recently set aside more than $4,000
acres of land from the Oregon nation
al forest for park and recreation pur-
poses. This land parallels the high
way and will forever retain countless
beauty spots for the use Of the peo-
pie. Tourists who journey west over
the Lincoln highway, or in fact any
of the roads through Utah, Idaho or
Montana, will find good automobile
roads leading to the new Columbia
River highway.
Notwithstanding the cost of the
highway has been enormous, It is al
ready looked upon as the states
greatest asset from a tourist stand
point, and one of the best investments
ever made by an American municipal
ity

IIH the building OF the 20
VA lumbia River highway
" " through the gorge of the
famous Columbia river, a
paved driveway has been provided
along the precipitous sides of the
gorge and making this section of Ore
gon passable for the first time in his
tory for automobiles and all other ve-
hicles. The national dedication of the
roadway comes June 7, opening day
Of Portland's tenth annual rose fes-
tival.
The building of highway through
the gorge of the river has been a
dream of years until two years ago
the work was taken up by public-spir-
tied citizens, with the result that the
highway, hard-surfaced from Port
land to the Multnomah county line, is
ready for the tourist and represents
an investment in bodybuilding of a
sum exceeding 100000.
In making passable the gorge for
automobiles, there has been opened
up new viewpoint for the scenic
beauties OF the Columbia river. For
miles are cliffs, waterfalls and virgin
forests through which the highway
winds. In many places it hangs to
the cliffs hundreds of feet above the
river, its concrete and steel bridges
spanning turbulent streams, supported
by artistic walls of dry masonry for
miles of its length.
The gorge was the home of Indian
tribes in the early days, fastness
where they were safe from enemies.
It was the scene of the tabled Bridge
Of the Gods, and around its scenic
grandeur many Indian fables were
drawn. Leaving Crown Point the
highway enters the district which has
given it the title, 1.-THE Road of the
Falling Waters
Many Picturesque Waterfalls.
In ten miles travel II waterfalls
are passed, the highest being Multi
nomah falls, second highest in the
United States. Latourelle falls, Shep-
pards Dell, Bridal Veil, Coopey falls,
Dalton falls, Mist falls, Wahkeena falls,
Benson park and Multnonah falls, On
eonta gorge, where a subterranean
stream sends air blasts along rocks;
Horsetail falls, Cathedral point, st.
Peters dome pass in quick succession,
and the tourist reaches Bonneville,
the home of the greatest fish hatchery
In the world. Then on through the
tunnel at Mitchells Point to the
sunken forests of the Columbia, where
giant trees are seen beneath the wa.
ters; to the petrified forests at Tan
ner's creek, with 200-foot trees; to
the abutments of the Bridge Of Gods,
passing numerous fish wheels, and
Into the Hood river valley. From
there the tourist finds the call OF
Mount Hood imperative and it's tre-
mendous glaciers are reached conven-
lently.
Crown Point, where the new road
way makes turn 700 feet above the
river, has been selected as the site
tor the memorial to the pioneers Of
the state who encountered untold
hardships Of early days in the settle

PINE BLISTER RUST

The American Forestry association is making widespread appeal in behalf of the white pines throughout the coun. try. It is endeavoriug to arouse inter. est in the waging of more determined fight against the blister rust which is raising havoc with the pines wherever it gets and retains a foot. hold.
 This disease appears to have grip upon all of New England, q number of the eastern and some of the northern states, and it has extended across the borders into Canada, and in these To. calities it is progressing. When it is realized that this trouble is threatening the destruction of trees which are valued at $26l, ,000, 900 of which $75, ,000, 900 worth are in New Eng. land it can be appreciated that the as- sociation's efforts are devoted to an ex- cellant cause.
 In the case of the pine blister rust, as in that of the chestnut tree blight there is no known cure. All that can be done must be done ill the way of prevention such as a rigid quarantine, and destruction of in- fected trees and the goosebserry and currant bushes on which the spores are known to exist. By so doing the spread of the disease can be prevented. which holds out more en- couragement than in the case of chest. nut blight for it has been shown that the destruction of trees affected with that disease does not apparently make any difference with its progress.
 With so mnch at stake in valuable trees there should be incentive enough on the part of the owners to make a determined fight and from all indica- tions it cannot be started any too soon.

On the face of events as recorded in the official news, however, the chances of success of such a coup seem eX- tremely slim.
 MackenSen is advancing on Bucha- rest from Giurgiu, which he captured Monday, thirty-seven miles south of the capital. From Giurgiu an excel lent railway leads directly to Bucha- rest. The first outer forts aimed at by Mackensen on the route lie only thirty two miles to the north.
 Tn Roumania our movements are progressing" is the sole comment of the German war office in it's regular bulletin.
 Meanwhile mighty blows are being struck in quick succession by General von Falkenhayn. His center crossed the Lit river, while his northern army captured Curtea de Arges, an impOr- tant railroad, whence a railway runs directly southeast to Bucharest by way of the important intersection PitOSci. The capture of Curtea de Arges adds to the flanking menace to King Ferdi- hands northern forces, which are still battling desperately in the Transyl- vanian foothills from the region north of Campulung as far as Drageslavele
 BuIears Cross Danube.
 Meanwhile the Bulgarians have crossed the Danube at three more points-Rahova, Lem-Palanka and Vi din-capturing two Roumanian towns Beshet, opposite RahOva, and kalafatu opposite Vidin. Thus the TeutOns and Bulgars are in possession of the whole stretch of the north bank of the Dan ube from the "Iron Gate" down to Giurgiu. a distance of nearly 200 miles as the crow flies and considerably more if the many curves and bends of the river are ccunted in.
 Gas and tear shells were used by Falkenhayn's forces attack on the Roumanians in the Prahovo valley. No admissions of further reverseS are con- tained in the announcement. PetrO- grad officially characterizes the situa- ton in Roumania as unchanged.
 In the Dobrudja spirited fighting is in progress. The Sofia war office state ment indicates that MackenSen's eX- treme right wing. holding the line Con stanza- -CzernavOda and positions north of it, has resumed the initiative. Russo
