A Philadelphia Idea.

Music and cleaning the parlor have never been very closely associated. When the housewife wants to play the piano, he generally waits until she has cleaned the parlor, taken n bath and dressed herself in party clothes, Now n Philadelphian has patented n dust-filtering attachment which can be attached to the player-piano. and the ordinary housewife can now seat her self at the player-piano. obtain music via the keys, work the pedals for all she Is worth and, with her child to run the vacuum cleaner about the floor, she can have it clean in jiffy. The bellows Of the player are attached to the vacuum cleaner by means of Il special pipe. and in this manner the needed vacuum Is created for cleaning purposes.

"SKYLINE" LOGGING LATEST
Said to Be Cheaper and More Eff cient Than the Old Ways.

In the logging camps of Oregon and Washington skyline" method of log ging is growing much cheaper and more efficient than thes former method of dragging out logs from the forest by q donkey engine and cables operating on the ground. says Popular Mechan- ics Magazine The skyline plan is to run cable through blocks or pulleys suspended at great height on giant trees. so as to form n sort of trolley line by which the logs are hoisted into the air and then hauled over the tops of ordinary trees and other obstruc- tions to the rOllway. where they are loaded aboard freight ears for ship ment
 The donkey engine which operates the skyline has five drums, including two for main lines and two for trip lines The top cable, from which the log is suspended Is one of the main lines while the other is used to haul the log. In operation the top cable is lowered with its block. or pulley, directly over the log to be picked up: 1t Is then pulled taut, raising the log with It by means of "choker." or steel tongs. In the air log can, of course. be moved much faster than on the ground.

J. $. WILL IGNORE
 PEACE INTERVIEW
BELIEVE SECRETARY LANSlNG'S INTERVIEW OF A FEW DAYS
 AGO ENOUGH.
GERMAN PLAN TO MISlEAD
Not Thought It Will Have Much Ef. feet on Russia-Russian Embassy Say They Have Never Protested
 Against Allies Peace Terms.

Washington. German Chancellor ed at the State Department as an other German attempt to bolster up public opinion at home, appeal to the peace sentiment in enemy and neu- tral countries and create dissensions between the allies. At the Russian embassy. it was stated to be wholly incorrect in fact.
 State Department officials say that while Germany attempts by innuendo to foster on France vast campaign of conquest with hope of making a breach with the new Russian democ- racy, Michaelis makes no suggestion that Germany herself has in any way revised her war programme or ac- cepted the principle of no annexation. The new attempt at peace is consid- cred as hollow as the many others which have always followed a success full offensive and which took their most tangible form in the official Ger man peace offer of December 12. The maneuver Is viewed as similar to that one which had the purpose of getting the allies about conference t;to,G where Germany hoped to instill diff ferences between them and split up the alliance.
 At that time Ambassador Bernstorf here was offering feelers which couid be repudiated at will
 The government. II is stated. will! take no notice of the latest German effort. Secretary Lansing's speech. al though delivered before the Michaelis interview, was published. is taken as complete answer in stating that peace can come only when the united force of the worlds demoCracies haa overthrown the German military sys- tenn.
 It is realized at the Russian em- bassy that the German policy is sufii- ciently clever to mislead many people in Russia and that it is evidently has- ed on that hope Nevertheless, the attitude of the government and the great majority has been so often reis- erated ana the measures being taken against German agents in Russia are so severe that il is not thought it will have much serious effect.
 Russia. it is stated. has never pro tested against the allies peace aims. as represented but has merely sought an understanding about them. Se- cret diplomacy under the old regime allowed the cZar to make personal treaties with other nations unknown even to his own ministers and it IS thought possible that some of the al lies may consider Russia bound by such unknown agreement It is more to clear up this difficulty than for any other purpose. it is stated. that Russia Is so anxious to have state ment of views.
