William De Morgan.

In spite Of himself William De Nor
gan became famous. He deliberately
violated all the rules made for the
guidance OF novelists who seek to be-
come popular. None Of his novels was
addressed to the greater public that Is
avid for the latest thing Of the moment
in fiction, but nevertheless they reach
ed that public. He was law unto
himself In the novels that he wrote
during his marvellous career that span
ned only ten years. 1t is doubtful II
in English literature or in any other
can be found a writer whose life and
literary career are comparable to his.
He was an old man when the world OF
readers came to know him, and his age
was an asset toward celebrity. AT
seventy he was hailed as eagerly as
Kipling was hailed at twenty, and In
his way he was no less a prodigy than
the younger writer.-BoOkman-

IIse of Bacon prippinas.

Bacon drippings make splendid short
ening for light, haky pie crust. 1t
takes just a little less of the drippings
than of ordinary lard or vegetable
shortening. Use it for shortening in
spice cake, gingerbread or any dark
cake and note the delicious flavor.
Spread rye bread with a thin layer
Of the pure drippings and sprinkle a
little salt on it. Add to this a thin
slice of any salt meat and you will
have a delicious and highly nutritious
sandwich. The European housewife
has long made use of such sandwiches
for the between meal snack for grow
ing boys and girls.

NoRTH-SOUTH HIGHWAY
THE BIG ROAD ISSUE

The north and south highway
is going to receive more serious
attention from the state highway
commission in the future than
any other road within the state,
for it is considered imperative
now that direct communication
with northern and southern Ida
no be made possible. For the
purpose of working out its plans
with reference to the completion
OF this highway the state COM
mission has been called to meet
in Boise November IS.
It was said at the statehouse
that because of the necessity OF
developing the resources OF the
state and thereby make more
rapid the plans for placing within
reach of the government ell raw
materials, the building of this
main highway becomes absolutely
essential. 1t is largely because
of this fact that the commission
intends to direct most of its
future attention to it than to any
other road whose construction is
contemplated. The general plans
for building the road will be
placed in the hands of the new
state highway engineer, H. c. Al
len Of Wallace, who succeeds E.
II. Booth. All members of the
commission are expected to be in
Boise on the date announced for
the commission meeting to give
the north and south highway
problem their serious attention
During the past year work on
this highway has advanced. Witt

The Pxamx Hlppopotamus.

One of the animals least known to
the outside world is the pygmy hippo
potamus of West Africa.
This animal is just what its name
implies, a pygmy hippopotamus. 1t is
much smaller than the common hippo
Dotamus. being no larger than an ordi-
nary or fair sized hog. 1t differs some
what from the common hippo in the
character Of it's teeth, and instead Of
spending its time in the rivers and
lakes in large herds it wanders about
through the jungles singly or in pairs,
much after the manner Of swine In
search of mast.-LOndon Spectator.

How startling was the difference In
the customs of the English and the
Scots even less than a century ago is
shown in the story of the way in which
the famous highland chief, Alastlr
Macdonell, Of Glengarry frightened
George ". out of his wits. In 1922
Glengarry was one of a party of Scot
fish mobiles and gentlemen who ban
quoted 'the first gentleman of Europe"
In Holyrood palace. Colonel Macdonen
was the last chief to wear the full
highland costume, and when the com
pany sat down to dinner he, according
to custom, placed a brace OF loaded
pistols by his plate. The king started
up In alarm and was persuaded to re
main in the room only on the assurance
that Glengarry meant no treasOn.-Lon-

PROTESTS ARE FILED
AGAINST DISTRICT NO. q

The hearing of the petition for
the formation of Drainage Dis
lrict No. 4 of -Benewah county,
which was set for Saturday in
the district court, was postponed
al that timss TO Monday morning
al 9 %. sen the matter came
I'D at hsatpc<Te it was continued
until No~elA<4Ser 20 at 1000 A. NJ.
Two protests against the crea-
ton of the district were filed.
This is the district which in
cludes the Riverdale Tracts and
the property of the Milwaukee
Lumber company east of the city.
Seven persons were combined
in one of the protests, which was
filed by Attorney William ID.
Keeton. They are William True
man, William NOSen, Abe NOyen,
Nancy Ross, Ed Wunderlich,
Laura NJ. Dunson and Oletta p.
HoisingtOn. The second protest
was filed by Taylor & Hull as
attorneys for the st. Maries Land
company.
The protest of William True
man ct al alleges that the crea-
ton Of the drainage district is
unnecessary for the reason that
AN easement has already been
given. the Milwaukee Lumber
company to repair, keep in re-
pair and construct a dixie of suf-
fcient height and durability
along said St. Joe river and along
the right of way described in
this petition to protect itself
from food waters" 1t is al
legged that this easement was
given the Milwaukee Lumber
company in 1910 by a contract
between that corporation and the
st. Maries Land company, and the
property owned by the protest
ants was acquired by them sub
sequent to that time with the
expressed agreement and under
standing that the milwaukee,
Lumber Co. was to construct,
maintain and keep a dixie around
said land and properly pump and
drain the same"
It is alleged that the present
dixie around the land is sufficient
to protect the lands situated
within the proposed district from
ell flood waters if kept in proper
repair and that any enlargement
and strengthening of the dixie
over asd above its original con-
dition is absolutely unnecessary
land viii not be of benefit to tho
majority of the lands in acreage
ia the district.
The, protest Of the st. Mariei
~-~and company follows much thu
same line as that of the othef
protestants and alleges that thu
benefit to the land included il
the district will be less than tn
cost Of the construction worl
necessary.

Umbrella Went With Room,

Il wOebegOne and lonely inn.
Jones' motto has always been "Busi-
ness before pleasure" but he wished
he had shirked the business which had
summoned him to this part of the
country ut Christmastide. He dozed
for while, and then In desperation
betoOk himself to bed. He was awak-
ened by the patterlng of rain, and to
his disgust he found water dripping on
to the bed through the ceiling.
He pulled the bell savagely, and at
ter lapse of time someone conde-
scended to answer 1t.
"You must find me another room,
please" said Jones. 'The rain is leak
ing In like fury"

WHERE SUBMARINES GO OUT
With English Channel Blocked There
Is Only One Open Channel From
German Ports Into Atlantic.

There are two ways of getting into
the Atlantic ocean from German ports.
One is through the English channel,
which has been blocked since the be-
ginning of the war; the other is
through the North sea, which English
naval strategy has thus far failed to
close.
The narrowest outlet of the northern
route is between the orkney islands
and the coast of Norway, distance Of
24O miles. But the depth of water at
this point IL such that submarines may
easily dive below any mine or net sys-
TEN that might he stretched across the
wide neck of the bottle here.
South of this line the water becomes
shallower, and mine or net laying be-
comes effective from Marlborough
Head directly across to the coast of
Jutland, passing over the famous Dog
ger bank, with from GO to 100 feet Of
water. to the shnllower depths over the
Jutland bank. Below that point there
Is more shOal water, with frequent
bSnks and ridges and flats which have
to be carefully avoided by mariners,
and which make submarine operation
difficult.
The problem, then, lies In the east
crn part of the North sea, where par
ticularly deep waterloo to 500 feet
off the coast of Norway, affords pas
sage for the submarines. German u
boats easily pass from the Baltic
through the Cattcgat-an international
wnterway--into the deep water found
Just off the Skaw at the tip of Den
mark, and thus into the North sea,
hugging the shores of Norway all the
way,
A stopper in the Cattegat would
solve the problem, and the feat is not
impossible. although England would be
greatly aided by the neutrality of Nor
way and Denmark.
Since under present conditions an
actual blockade Is impossible, the evil
has been reduced by cnnalizing 1t. In
other words, the navy is forcing the
U-bOats to take certain narrow and
difficult channels, and keeping as close
watch as possible over these routes.
But they cannot stretch nets deep
enough to block the only exit remain
ing to Germany. Perhaps the new
device" which American inventors
hope will eliminate the U-boat as n
factor I'm the war has to do with an
effective stopper for this outlet

Simplicity In Army Dress.

The London Times reporter who
met General Pershing and his staff
on the occasion Of their passage
through the British metropolis was
so much impressed with the sim
plicity of the officers uniforms that
he described them In some detail for
the benefit of the Thunderer's read
ers. Especially did he remark that,
compared to those of the British
army. the Americans uniforms are
unobtrusive. This may comfort some
Of our home folks, who have imbibed
their idea Of official dress from
watching n parade Of the governors
staff, says the Omaha Bee. AS mat
ter of fact, the American army officer
never has been given to excess In the
matter of dress. While he has always
been arrayed more definitely than was
Gungha Dhin, he has ut no time
sought to shame the MONDAY sun,
and some Of his greatest accomplish
ments have been achieved ut times
when his apparel was least impress
