Situation Acute
in United States

PORTLAND, ore, May l0.--Latest
reports received from leading cattle
producing centers OF tine country indi-
cate serious condition so far as sup
plies are concerned. With heavy ex-
portations of beef to Europe and with
fast decreasing supply Of cattle in
this country. the outlook is seemingly
for a famine in meats such as this
country has never witnessed.
This has called forth comment from
consuming and butchering interests TO
the effect that the government should
place an embargo against further for
eign shipments until the American
supplies become heavier,
Such agitation is likely to become
stronger as the price Of beef on the
consumer moves higher The recent
advance In the price OF baby beef at
North Portland to the highest price
on record here for open market tram
sactions indicate quite clearly tina,
there is a dearth of real good quality,
and that killers are vieing with one
another to secure these supplies. This
means not only extreme prices for top
quality stuff. but also means that all
beef prices will be advanced in pro-
portion
In the Pacific northwest the de-
crease In cattle holdings has been less
marked than in other sections of the
country, but the withdrawal Of sup
plies for eastern shipment has made
the shortage here even more acute
than elsewhere.

DANGER IN FOOLISH CUSTOM
Those Who Bite Penholders In Public
use Are Hereby Warned Of
Posslble Infection.

That the penholder, such as most of
us frequently use in hotels, post Of
fices, banks and other public writing
rooms may be as deadly a carrier of
disease germs as the roller towel and
public drinking cup, is the suspicion
for which the boards OF health be-
Heve they have found ample grounds.
The next time you use one OF these
public penholders you will notice, il
you examine it carefully, that the
wooden handle is covered with little
dents. These dents are the imprint
OF the teeth of persons who have used
the pen before you; and as the mouth
is the favorite port of entry for dis
ease. each dent is usually full of mi
crobes.
To expose yourself to sickness and
death. therefore. all you need to do
is to bite on the penholder. Every
time you do this, you take into your
mouth the germs which scores of
other persons have left by similar
bites.
Health officials plan to secure legis.
lation abolishing the public penhold-
er. In the meantime they urge the
public to try to break itself of the al
most universal habit OF holding q pen
In ones mouth while folding q letter
or blotting a check.

What He Didn't Understand.

The soldier was telling the work
man about a battle that he had once
been in that had lasted from eight
o'clock in the morning until seven
o'clock at night. His description was
most graphic. and he became very en-
thusiastic as he lived through the stir
ring scenes again.
There's one thing I can't under
stand about the story" said the work
man. slowly, when he had finished.
You say that the battle began at
eight o'clock in the morning and last
ed until seven o'clock at night?"
Yes, that's so,' was the reply.
Then retorted the workman with
a puzzled air, what / can't make out
is how did you manage about your

REFLECTED FROM THE LAND
Mirage Frequently Seen by Travellers
Through the Red River Valley
Of Minnesota.

That phenomenon known as the mi
rage has always been of interest to
travellers. Sometimes even people on
the train can get a glimpse of such
an illusion. In the Red River valley
of Minnesota are occasionally to be
seen some OF it's effects. In a guide
book issued by the United States
Geological survey Warren Upham
says: THE mirage. typical OF plains.
country or the ocean, may be seen in
the Red River valley almost any sun.
shiny day in spring, summer or au.
tumn. This queer phenomenon makes
the high land at the sides of the valley
and the tops of the distant trees and
houses appear to be raised a little
above the horizon, with a narrow strip
OF sky between. The more complex
and astonishing effect of mirage may
be seen from the highland on either
side OF the lake-bed floor There, in
looking across the valley from one and
one-half to two hours after sunrise on
a hot morning following a cool night,
the groves and houses, villages and
grain elevators loom up to two or
three times their true height and
places ordinarily hidden by the cu~va-
ture OF the earth are brought into
view. Oftentimes, too. these objects
are seen double. being repeated in an
inverted image close above their real
position and separated from 1t by a
foglike belt. In its most perfect de-
velopment the mirage shows the up
per and topsy-turvy portion OF the
view quite as distinctly as the lower
and true portion. These appearances
are due to refraction and reflection
from layers of air of different densi-
ty such as are often formed above a
wide expanse OF level country In
warm weather"

Tobacco Long Known.

1t is worthy OF remark that although
the common clay pipe of England is
entirely different in material and form
from our original American pipe, it
was used in nearly its present shape
at the first introduction OF tobacco. as
though before approved for a similar
use.
Clay pipes. supposed to be OF a date
anterior to this period, have occasion
ally been found in Irish bogs. An en-
craving OF dudeen, which was dug up
at Brannockstown, sticking between
the teeth OF a human skull. may be
found in the "Anthologia Hibernica,"
together with a paper which, on the
authority of Herodotus, Strabo and
other ancient writer's. would prove
that the northern nations OF Europe,
long before the discovery of America,
were acquainted with tobacco, or an
herb OF similar properties, and that
they smoked 1t through small tubes.

Worry.

makes 1t chronic. We are the cham

brethren of the other continents would
merely accept Jones as a superior be-
ing and let IL 90 at that. We don't.
So we go on worrying because Jones
has an automobile. because Mrs. Jones
has new gown and because we may
have some trouble scraping together
the money for next months rent and
food bills. And we know all the time
that worrying won't ever get us the
