question has been put up to the de-

The question arose out of charges
that soldiers have been donning bath

going to saloons to quench their thirst.
Saloonkeepers say they are unable
to distinguish between soldiers and

Two Men and a Problem.

When Lord Rayleigh, the British SCI

examiners set among other problems
one which they based on an article in
German mathematical periodical sup
posed unlikely to have penetrated to
Cambridge. Only two men solved it
Mr.. Strut Nord Rayleigh) and another.
The examiners asked the other man
about this problem. "Oh," he said, II
take the mentioning the name Of
the periodically, and was very glad to
find that, thanks to an article In the
last number, that problem came out
quite easily" When Mr.. Struts turn

Writers and Artists Too.

George Du Maurier was an artist,
who turned author after making
European fame with the pencil as a
satirist of society. He suddenly star
tied the world with '"Trilby" and set
two continents comparing feet. With
him novel writing seemed his true
forte, but he had started too late. de
enjoyed his new fame only few years.
Even Thackeray tried art before he
found his true vocation, and he Illus
trated several of his own books even
then. That is very piquant story
which tells of Thackeray calling on
Charles Dickens to see if he could get
the commission to illustrate one OF his
earlier novels. He had not written
"yanity Fair" then.
A very distinguished artist-apthor
was Dante Gabriel Rossetti. He was
supreme in both arts. He was one OF
the greatest poets and certainly one OF
the greatest artists Of the last century.

The Scale ON a Man.

Distance on map is measured by
it's "scale." BY laying a rule on gov
eminent map and ascertaining the
number of inches between two points
the number Of miles between them can
readily be calculated. Nearly all maps
are drawn to scale representing one,
two, three or more miles to the inch,
as the inch is the common unit Of meas
urement in the United States by which
the eye is accustomed to judge dis
tances on paper
A scale of 162, 800, used in the well
known United States geological survey
Typographical maps, denotes that one
inch on the map represents 62,5OO
inches on the ground, which is the ap-
proximate number of inches in mile
Therefore the scale is, almost exactly
one inch to one mile. A scale OF
1:125,O00 is approximately two miles to
one inch, and scale of 100000 rep
resents sixteen miles to one inch.

What I want to know is which

One is the kind that aids and
abets the enemy and the other
is the kind that condemns peo-
pie as a class on the ground
that they are not patriotic"

Lamps Guide to Heaven.

Suspended from tall poles that
are to be found on the banks OF
rivers in China are quaint lanterns
that sway back and forth in the
wind, adding a picturesque touch to
the landscape by day and weird illu-

Mechanics. Each of these lanterns
has been placed by relatives Of some
person who has been drowned in the
nearby stream in the hope that the
spirit of the deceased may see the
light as it journeys in search OF
heaven.

Sea Smoke.

One Of the peculiar phenomena
of the arctic regions is 'sea smoke"
Explorers tell Of a steam, as if from
a boiling kettle, which rises from
the water when the temperature is
Is degrees below zero. At 40 de-
grees the snow and human bodies
emit this vapor, which changes into
tiny icy particles, which fill the air
and make light noise like the rus
tie of silk. At 40 degrees tree
trunks burst with a loud report,
rocks break up, and streams OF
smoking water flow from great
cracks in the earth's surface, knives
break in cutting butter, and lighted
cigars go out by contact with the
ice upon the beard.

!, When Time Huns Heavy.

Today, when there is such premium
on time, one finds it hard to realize
the condition portrayed by William
Wistar Comfort in the Bookman:
in its day and for two or three cen
turtles later The Romance Of the Rose
was the most popular work composed
in medieval Europe. 1t consists Of
about $4,000 eight-syllable verses in the
old French original. That forms a
very considerable poem. A poem In
two volumes would be sufficient in our
day to rebuff most readers. But think
Of copying out in longhand such a
poem!
"Time was something to he killed by
our ancestors, and hands we're found'
to copy this endless poem almost 200
times. That is to say, we have near
ly 200 French manuscripts of the
Roman de la Rose and that does not
account for all those that must have
been lost in the course Of 600 years
However, the figures give us some idea
Of what medieval literary popularity
was"

Unless Washburn plans to hold on

she will be facing a situation not to
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-08-30

Washburn would have just what
she has now, in the way of natural
advantages, at once recognized by
outsiders and few men at home,
namely; The finest lake harbor in
the land: rail transportation; an ex-
ceptionally fine grass soil for grazing
and dairying purposes; a rare cli-
mate and location for summer re-
sort purposes, etc. etc. This city
could invite any industry to locate
here, with decided advantages un-
equalled anywhere. We have cleo
trio power sufficient to supply the
requirements of any big concern, as
we have ascertained. Good water,
fine school and churches, fine light
ing facilities for residences and
streets, widespread sidewalk system
and some street paving. sewerage
system---all that modern city has.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-08-30

Here is the question and the nut
for the local business men to crack.
If Washburn did not have the four
industries mentioned, would she
busy herself about the business OF
getting some desirable other indus
tries to locate? Or would be con-
tent with the situation as it was for
some years, intervening between the
two other periods of great prosper
ity? Or, if the mills were to shut
down, the box factory suspend and
the Du Pont plant reduce it's activi-
ties to minimum, would this city
become active in securing other in
dustries? Or would we trust to luck
and be satisfied with conditions
without any special endeavor along
the line of securing other industries!
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-08-30

Washburn is unique, in her present
situation and we say it advisedly.
This city stands without parallel
among the cities, large or small, in
these United States of Americans
the one city that cannot take care of
her population. We have had a
huge industry with an enormous pay
roll thrust upon us, without being
asked to pay bonus, furnish free
site, take stock or in any other way
help this industry along. Twice
month the sum of $4,000 in cash is
paid out here from this one industry
alone. Men and families are swarm
ing into Washburn and according to
plans of the company. fully 1900
more are to be brought here within
the next month. Yet we cannot
take care of those that are coming
daily now--. those already here.
For months this city has been
known as "The City That Outgrew
Herself" Washburn has through our
advertising of the city, been put on
the tip of every tongue throughout
the Northwest, west and middlewest
country. We lack hotels and
restaurant accommodations, we lack
apartment houses and residences---in
fact the housing problem is greater
than in either of the Twin Cities.
Now we have discovered one thing
lack of capital rather than lack OF
initiative and enterprise, has to do
with our failure to cope with this
situation. So, facing this very pre-
sent problem, this immediate one,
our people have naturally said to
themselves: We need not worry
about new industries and future
growth, until we have COPIED with
the present prosperity that has
already arrived" Very well, so why
not turn out attention to the present
very urgent problem and see what
can be done?

DUR PRISONERS ARE
BEING WELL TREATED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20-With the
announcement that the United States
has opened negotiations with Cert
many for an agreement to govern
the treatment of prisoners of war
taken by either nation, it was dis
covered that every German military
prisoner held here not srly has the
best of food and Accommodations bat
receives from the government the
pay of an officer of similar rank in
the American army and navy.
The German military prisoners are
housed in model sanitary camps and
have many privileges. Recently one
of them, in a liter to his prospective
wife in Germany, wrote that the pay
he would accumulate during his i'm
prisonment here would make a neat
little sum.
Reading and recreation facilities
are provided, and the photographs col
lected from the several detention
camps show German prisoners going
through outdoor gymnastic exercises
and staging amateur plays on impro-
vised stages in the recreation rooms
The quarters for the prisoners are
much like those provided in the can
comments of the American soldiers.
The sleping quarters are roomy and
clean and the sanitary arrangements,
from kitchens to bathrooms, are mod
ern and not unlike those provided by
the United States at the national
army cantonments.
The negotiations were begun with
the hope of securing the best possible
conditions for Americans captured on
the battle front and to show Germany
how well German prisoners in the
United States are treated.
Altogether there are 1854 prisoners
OF war in custody of the war depart
ment and about 400 interned enemy
aliens held at the request of the de-
partment of justice. Of this number
about three-score are on Taboga Is
land, Panama
It is estimated that Germany is
now holding $50 sailors taken from
American ships by commerce raiders
and other German vessels besides the
first prisoners taken from General
Pershing's forces,

FEW DROPS AND
CORN LIFTS OUT
SAYS THERE Is NO EXCUSE FOR
CUTTING CORNS AND INVITING
L0CKJAW.

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns OF
any kind of corn can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
will apply directly upon the corn few
drops of freezone, says Cincinnati
authority.
1t is claimed that at small cost one
can get quarter of an ounce of freez-
one at any drug store, which is sufi-
cient to rid ones feet of every corn
or callus without pain or soreness or
the danger of infection.
This simple drug while sticky, dries
the moment it is applied and does not
infame or even irritate the surround
ing tissue.
This announcement will interest
many women here, for it is said that
the present high-heeled footwear is
putting corns on practically every
woman's feet. adv
