But strange to say when the actual application of the

practically been a dead letter.

Commodore Jim Pugh, worlds
champion speedbOat driver and heaC
of a Chicago firm has offered a prize
of $1,000 for the best American made
gown submitted by American dress
makers in a contest now going on in
Chicago. After the award is made
Mr.. Pugh is going to send a de luxe
fashion special train through the mid
die west to show what is being done
in Chicago dress designing.
1t will take more than one de luxe
train to show middle west women how
to dress so as to secure that elusive
quality called style.
For some reason the middle west
has never exhibited the instinct for
style in clothes which has always
been apparent in western states, nota-
bly, California, and Montana.
New York manufacturers have al
ways claimed that their best models
go to the far west and that the pur-
chasers of the best styles hail from
the west and not from the middle
west. Certainly, even an amateur
knows that San Francisco has never
had the jay look of Chicago.

WHAT THE HONEST PUBLIC
WANTS

Surprising as the fact may seem, it
is nevertheless true that certain in
dividuals in the Palouse country Ito
limit the territory no more closely
are sorry that daily paper exists and
prospers here. They are sorry it has
not failed. They are sorry they can
not cause it to fail. They would if
they could
Let us tell you why.
These people are selfish. They are
enemies of Moscow, of Latah county,
of the state of Idaho They do not
want the public to be a well-informed
public. They want the public to be
ignorant, gullible, easily taken in.
A weekly paper can do little if any
thing to control these selfish indiv-
iduals and their selfish ambitions. A
daily paper is on their track pitiless
ly; and it is this pitiless publicity
which interferes constantly with the
boss and gang program no matter
in what sort of enterprise.
A public which reads a daily home
paper is not public which political
or other boss can hoodwink while he
is putting over his selfish plans to
better himself and intrench himself
in his position.
An honest daily paper has six
chances week and takes the six
chances to let people know where
their real interest lies, who their true
friends are.
One of the most convincing proofs
of the power of the daily paper is the |
fact that men who want to cover up |
wrong conditions are afraid of the |
home daily. They are scared to death |
of it's every issue.

Curious "SiIver Sword"

One of the most curious plants in
the world, and one Of the greatest in
terest to all botanists, is the silver
sword. This exceedingly rare plant,
with it's magnificent silver spines and
handsome crest, may still be found in
profusion in the upper part of Kaupo
gap, the southern outlet of the vast ex-
tinct crater of Haleakala, on the island
of Maui, one Of the Hawaiian group.
It flowers from July to October and
occurs hardly anywhere else in the
world. Even stranger is the variety
known as the green sword, which oc-
ours only in Haleakala crater and is
unknown to exist elsewhere.

The dealer sympathized with him

to jump in the car and he would drive

But the dealer was insistent and
said he would assume all responsible

apparent effort moved off toward the

cheered them on.

The logging camps of the Northwest
are numbered among the few remain
Ing places in this country where the
automobile is more or less of a
stranger.
1t is only on rare occasions that the
lumberjacks of the north woods have
an opportunity of seeing a motor car
perform in their midst. The corduroy
roads that lead to their camps are
natural barriers to the motorcars's
progress.
That is why the appearance recently
of an Overland Six touring car in
Washington logging camp was the
signal for all hands to stop work and
crowd around 1t in wonder. The car
had been driven into camp over the
cross ties of makeshift railroad that
was used for hauling carloads of logs
from the forest to a sawmil few
miles away.

Cadillac Beats Train
SIS Times in 4 Days

Cadillac Eight has beaten trains in
races between gasoline and steam. But
none of the previous feats has been

day period.

Iowa, was making a get acquainted"
tour in a special train, visiting SO
towns. c. A. Morris, the Cadillac
dealer at Waterloo, arranged to ac-
company the train in a Cadillac over
the entire route. He arranged with a
bank or a newspaper in each of the
towns to send with him to the next
town to be visited someone familiar
with the road.
The result was that the Cadillac.

A new feature this year is the
descriptionand illustration of a num-
ber of devices which have been found
extremely efficient in handling loads in
all classes of business. Truck owners
are just beginning to realize what ex-
Gel ent investments such mechanical
aids are. 1t said that there is practi-
cally no class of merchandise which
cannot now be handled better by their
assistance, whether it be coal, lumber
dry goods, hardware, steel or any
thing else.
Various interesting and valuable
directions are also given as to more
efficient ways of loading, carrying and
delivering.
These devices have peen described
from time to time in various periodi-
Gals but the collection of them in con-
venient form in Motor Trucks of

of this years volume.

Evidently the English. or some OF
them, are not very much impressed
with the staunchness of Japan as an
ally. Lord Northcliffe. for instance,
has kindly taken the trouble to warn
the United States of "A Teutonic-Ja-
panese alliance after the present
European war is ended. But does
anybody really suppose that Germany
will forget so quickly what Japan did
TO her in China at the beginning of
this war, and especially if she should
come out of the present conflict vic
torious. Indeed. after the successes
of Japan against the German strong
hold in China, the rage of the Ger
mans was unbounded, and promises
were solemnly announced in Berlin
that Germany would square her ac-
counts with Japan with vengeance
some day. and as quickly as she could
get around to it after the Great War
came to an end

THE PUBLIC LAUNDRY.

If our industrial procedures and
household practices remained I'M
changed from one generation TO an
other, it might become far easier than
it has been to control disease and
stamp out familiar infections. No
sooner. however, has one factor been
controlled by some scheme of SANTA
ton than changing custom has shifted
the incidence of the supposedly eradi-
Gated danger and raised a new prob
lem of health control. Thus, when
laundry work was largely confined to
the home, the possibility of infection
was limited to a smaller group, and
the opportunity for exposure to con-
tagion easily appreciated and provided
for. Today the handling Of soiled
clothes is being transferred more and
more to special plants in which ma
terials from many homes and still
more individuals are brought together
where employees come into contact
with it. The possibility of infection
under such conditions must vary for
specific diseases, and depends on the
probable readiness with which the
micro-orgarisIns concerned are trans
]
the efficiency of the laundry processes
as a mode of sterilization. 1t is doubt
less true that some of the more impor-
tant disease germs are transmitted
from individual to individual without
any intermediate conveying device;
nevertheless there are many infections,
such as typhoid fever, venereal dis
eases. etc, which are known to be
transmitted through fomites So long
as typhoid fever can be charged to the
cook who has handled the food it is
not difficult to conceive of a similar
| transmission through the laundry
worker. The high temperature, soap.
washing soda and other chemicals to
which clothes in the laundry are sub
| jected in the washing process are re-
sponsible for a sterilizing action. Bac-
teriologic examinations have repeated
ly demonstrated that it is effective.
DR.. Dederer. who represents the com
mittee on occupationaI diseases of the
woman's department of the National
Civic Federation. frankly states that
there is no danger to public health
from mixed washing of clothing
with contaminated articles. 1t is
pointed out. however, that while the
washing process practically sterilizes
the clothes. the reinfection of clean
linen is possible when it is sorted and
counted in the same room with soile1
linen. Clean linen, when exposed to
infection through contact with soiled
linen. may disseminate infection The
upshot of this is that soiled linen
ought not 70 be received, sorted OF
marked in rooms in which clean linen
