GERMANS RESOURCEFUL
IN ART OF SUBSTITUTING

LONDON.-The effectiveness of
the British blockade is made evident
by the manner in which the German
merchants are advertising substitutes
for the necessities of life.
The ingenious German mind has
evidently been working overtime to
provide substitutes for material need
ed, as papers from Berlin contain
many queer advertisements, which,
at this time, forecast the conditions in
the interior.
Paper string or cord has entirely
replaced the ordinary articles, and
we find Herr Hachenburger of Darn
stadt, announcing that he has several
truckloads of paper string and cord,
resisting a strain Of hundred
weight and a half, to sell very
cheap" while Lazarus Giessen de-
clares that his paper string sold at
IS. 3D., for two and a quarter pounds
has been $50 treated as to resist
moisture
Soap substitutes are advertised in
great variety, but apparently they
are not all as successful as might be
wished. Thus one enterprising ad-
vertiser, in announcing "first-class
washing grease says free from
clay, chlorine and such like, incom-
parably better than the clay and
gelatine substances at present cur
rent in the trade" This "best sub
stitute" is sold in tubs of 100 pounds
for two pounds four shillings.
Another expert advertises first.

stance" in one-pound bags at one
pound per 100 pounds, while Messrs
Lehman & Sons of Berlin appeal tc
their fellow-Huns to economic In

The suggestion by the advertiser
quoted above that clay Is the basis
of this war-soap finds confirmation
in an advertisement which offers fol
"sale cheap" disused stove factory
bought at compulsory sale by auc
ton, with large clay bed, also suited
for the production of war-soap.'
In Bavaria the authorities have
become suspicious of some or these
substitutes, and have published a lis
of articles with the manufacturer
name attached, the sale of which II
prohibited. Thus the "Schutztote1

HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA

BELGIUM TO GET
LOAN FROM U. s.

WASHINGTON d. C.-In addition
to loans to France and Italy totaling
between 5000, 100000 and $500, O0O,-
900, the United States will soon
make a loan to Belgium, the amount
of which is yet to be determined.
Unofficial estimates Of the size OF
the Belgian loan place it at approx
imately $15O,OO0,000.
Administration officials have been
in a receptive mood toward an APP
plication for a Belgian loan ever
since the war finance measure be-
came a law, but formal application
for loan was not made until today
when the Belgian minister, Baron
De Cartier, placed before Secretary
McAdoo tentative estimates as to the
relief desired, which includes pro
vision for meeting in part the Bel
gian governments need in maintain
ing a large number of refugees domi-
ciled in France in addition TO re-
uuirements of a military nature.

DR.. Winship is a prophet whose
Drophesies have come to pass, ana
who is apparently not without honor
in his own country. He Is directly
in line with the broader system OF
education wherein usefulness Is
ranked with knowledge.
AS he pointed out in his lecture
at the high school Monday evening,
it has been only recently that brains
were expected to work in the prac-
tical departments of life. Brains
were supposed to be for the purpose
of acquiring knowledge, much or
which the doctor thinks is OF no use
at all.
The principal pivot upon which ne
reyolyed his evenings talk was that
which believes in making every per-
son in the world fit for some prac-
fical good work He places me-
chanics, science, farming on level
with ancient history, arithmetic ana
spelling If boy would prefer 10
tinker with machinery, and would
more earnestly apply himself to that
subject than any other, DIR. Winshlp
believes the boy should be free to
devote himself to it, and forget geo.
graphy. etc. "It is vastly more i'm
Dortant to the world to squeeze
sugar out of the beet root than to
squeeze meaning out of the Greek
root" he explained.
The speakers best assertion OF the
evening was this: That teachers are
and always have beeD too entirely
wrapped up in teaching their pupils
lessons, while not at all interested
in having the pupils learn anything
To learn things is the only goodsrea-
son for going to school, he said, and
the only excuse for teacher is that
she may direct the pupils in learn
ing things.
DR.. Winships philosophy of teach
ing rests on the proposition that ii
is better to raise a thousand persons
in their mental effectiveness, one de-
gree, than to raise one person a
thousand degrees. He is for the
many. and naturally leaves out the
particular individual Perhaps he
is of the opinion that gifted person
needs not the help of the educational
machine; he will find his powers
without 1t.
To the teachers of children the
doctor brings a prophecy that aver
aging" is a dead method. 1t is just
as reasonable to draw off an average
speed from the rate an automobile
travels, a horse runs, and wheel
barrow wheels, as it is to average 6
pupils standing in several lines Of
study. The average speed of the au
tomobile, the horse and the wheel
barrow may be II miles an hour
"but,' says the doctor, "you cam
ride on an average" You find ou
nothing by averaging pupils; thu
main thing is to help them lear1

A second list issued by the same
authorities, gives the names of sub
stitutes which may be purchased.
They include "Butterol for spreading

somewhat appropriate name-"Ged-

substitute" CDR. Strassmann's cake
and cake powder" '"Thuringian

and useful articles.
There appears, indeed, to be no
article for which the ingenious Ger
man is not prepared to find 2 sub
stitute, The idea of substitution has
become so important part of the
national thought that we even find
advertisements like the following:

WASHINGTON is BACK IN
BILLION.DOLIAR CLASS

OLYMPIA, Sept. 19.-Washington
is once more back in the billion-dol-
lar class so far as the assessment of
property for taxation purposes is
concerned. Although two counties,
Pierce, which has not been received,
and Spokane, which has not been
checked, are not included in the fig
ures before the tax commissioner, c.
R. Jackson, it is certain that the in
crease in real and personal property
values will bring the necessary $13.-
100000 to make the billion-dollars.
Last year Washington fell below this
mark when the total valuation was
placed at $2S7, 100000, there hav-
ing been a big slump in real estate
and railroad property valuations.

Riga has fallen" said Mr.. Russell,
but it did not fall because of super

largely attributed to the disloyal
speeches of United States senator's
and representatives.
"At all public meetings in Russia.
pro-German agents tell the people the
United States Is not in this war to
help them" he said. "To prove that
the United States at heart Is not in
