MOST POTENT OF WEAPONS
Nothing Devised by Humanity 10 Able
to Stand Against the Assault
Of Laughter.

In 'The Mysterious Stranger"-the
just-published posthumous book by
Mark Twain-that authority on humor
declared that most men possess only
"a mongrel perception Of humor."
He Celebrates his idea by saying
'sThe multitude see the comic side of q
thousand low-grade and trivial things
broad incongruities mainly; gro.
tesqueries, absurdities. evokers of the
horse laugh. The 10000 high-grade
comicalities which exist in the world
are sealed from their full vision.
"Will day come when the race will
detect the funniness Of these juvenili-
ties and laugh at them-and by laugh.
ing at them destroy them? For your
race, in its poverty, has unquestion.
ably one really effective weapon
laughter.
"POwer, money, persuasion, supplica.
ton, Observation-Disclosures can lift ut q
colossal humbug-push it a little
weaken it little, century by century /;
but only laughter can blow it TO rags
and atoms at blast. Against the as
sault Of laughter nothing can stand"

Europe. LARGEST Dam.

The largest dam in Europe has Just
been completed near Barcelona, Spain.
1t is built across the chasm through
which the Noguera Pallaresa river
flowed. Auditing on almost perpendic-
ular cliffs, the dam is constructed Of
concrete, and measures $50 feet in
height and 700 feet in length. The
thickness is 230 feet at the base, grad
ually decreasing to ii feet at the top.
The valley above the dam was bought
from the various landholders at cost
Of near $1,OOO,OOO, and now filled with
water forms an artificial lake 151z
miles long and 3A miles wide. The
water that now passes through the
power house yields an electric current
of 10000 horse power. Later it will be
increased to 10000 horse power. The
water is carried by a system of canals
into an arid district, where it irrigates
surface of nearly 100 square miles.

FORGET DATE HAS CHANGED
That So Many Forget to Write a1s1T
Proves That Man 10 Creature
Of Habit.

'That man is creature Of habit
remarked the secretary of large bust

the letters we receive. This letter
which I hold in my hand contains an
error generally made ut this time Of
the year, not because the writer's are
careless but because they have cult.
waited the habit of writing a certain
thing mechanically.
During the life of the year now eI
pired the writer's had grown accuS
toned to putting down the numerals

fort on their part to bear in mind that
the last figure Of the set was 6 and moi
B, but after time the writing of {
became mechanical act rather thar
a mental act. 1t became second ma
ture for them to write the date cor
rectly.
with the birth Of q new year, how
ever, the mechanical writer's must e1
ert mental effort. When they don't
they err. Take this case, for instance
You see the writer has turned out
what he considers q perfect letter. He
probably reread it and sealed 1t salts
fed that it was correct. But he never
thought to look at the date, at least
the year part of it. The result is tina;
ipSsead Of dating it January, 1917, he
has dated it January, 1915. Just
mechanical error, that's all.
"A peculiar phase Of the matter /.
that the error is usually made by per.
sons who write their own correspond
ence, especially in long hand. Stenog.
raphers who IRE paid to write the cor.
respondence of others on typewriter
have developed the habit of being &C.

Peculiar Disease Of the Teeth.

The Colorado Dental society has two
Of its members engaged in the inxesti-
cation of mysterious malady of the
teeth known, for the want of a better
name, as "mottled' teeth" which oc-
ours in this country in a number OF
districts, principally in the southwest
ern portion of the United States. 1t
has been noted in a somewhat more
violent form in Italy, Is years ago. 1t
manifests itself in children and per-
sists through life, and is often so dis
figuring that the victims resort to arti-
fetal browning. 1t is defect Of the
enamel-forming substance, and it is
suspected that the cause is due to
some element in the drinking water,
which it has been impossible to def
nitely determine.

More Autos Are Desired.

The committee for the entertainment
of soldiers camps has worked along on
quiet lines to make its undertaking a
success, and has had splendid co-opera-
ton from the owners of private auto
mobiles in the city in lending their
ears to convey the performers to and
from the different camps. While at
present there seems to be no need of
anxiety about the transportation ques-
ton. it would be a relief to the COM
mittee and only fair to those owners
who have SO generously donated the
use of their. ears. if others in the city
would come forward anu offer theirs
for few hours at night each week
during the fall and winter.
About two months ago William I'LL
man. secretary of the American Auto
mobile Association. sent out letters to
a number of citizens of Washington
requesting them to lend their cars for
at least four hours each week (accom-
panied by owner or chauffeur). and the
responses were very generous, but to
make certain that there will be no
hitch in this very important branch of
the entertainment it would be greatly
appreciated by the committee if other
owners in the city would come forward
and offer the use of their automobiles
for the same length of time. All those
wishing to do so will kindly get in
