Hammond stands out pre-eminently
under the new draft law because of its
surplus of males and because II has very
few men of gray hairs. Hammond is a
city of young men. but
Quota Filled.
If the letter of the law is strictly en-
forced and Hammond like Gary is given
credit for men who have recently enlist
ed in the army. navy and national guard
both cities may not be called upon TO
fill any more nsen under the first draft
call providing il is not more than 500.-
coo men
However. despite this there are hum
dreds of Hammond young men who are
making arrangements to volunteer. and
they plan to go as soon as they can get
their affairs wound up. On the other
hand IT is possible the government win
discourage too great a withdrawal from
the steel and other munition plants as
the ammunition source would suffer.

The increase in the deposits of the
three Occur d'Alene banks during the
year Of 1916 was fraction over l3
per cent, according to figures tahu -.

The commissioners have appointed

Murphy Of Occur d'Alene to obtaiO
statements Of personal property which
can or may be removed before the
property could be assessed. This
action was taken because neither the
commissioners nor Mr.. Wonnacott
have the power to appoint any depu
ties, and it is said that the county
needs protection on this score. The
new officers will receive SO so a day

MUSIC AND MUSCLE.
Energy Expended In Playing a Bach
Aria on the Cello.
or'S message.


A simple air played on the violon
cello calls for a total expenditure of
energy equal to two and three-quarters
pound per note or more than four tons
of energy for the single selection, notes
the Popular Science Monthly. This
statement is vouched for by Professor
I'offenberger of Columbia university,
who made some experiments in his
laboratory with the aid of the famous
Dutch cellist Michael Penha.
A special apparatus is necessary to
conduct the tests. Against the surface
of revolving carbon cylinder is sus
pended chalked point which is actu-
ated by a slender wire attached to the
musicians finger. At each pres sure
the tension vibrates along the conlmu.
nicating connection and records the en-
ergy expended.
At one test Michael Penha at times
raised the point to distance equaling
three pounds in weight, that being the
record of the forefinger. The pressure
alone required to produce the chhrac-
teristically luscious tones of n simple
Bach aria averaged two and three
quarter pounds per note. The total
energy expended amounted to 9,414
pounds, or more than four tons.
This same amount of energy would
be sufficient to carry laborer tn Tough
his entire days work. Yet it too but
five minutes for the artist to exc TT the
same amount of force.

Snakes Method of Attack.

No snake is able to jump or spring
from coil in order to strike, as often
represented in pictures. 1t can only
strike when it resembles the letter S
and is lying fiat on the ground. 1t can
then only reach the distance supplied
by stretching the body out straight.
The two curves in the letter supply
this distance, which is about half the
length of the body. No snake jumps
through the air to its victim or springs
clear from the ground, rising upon its
tail Such stories and pictures are all
false. Neither do they coil like a rope
and strike from that position. They
may coil partially, but the part of tie
body that does the striking is ever and
only that part which makes the letter
S and lies fat ON the ground; hence no
serpent can strike when stretched out
its full length.

motion TO stop;lhe audit was made
by George w. Flemming. 1t was
seconded by Hans Johnson, and
F. w. Esgate voted with them,
making the action unanimous.
Whether the audit will be re-
sumed, and if so, when. were
questions which the commissioners
would not discuss. No reasons for
the rejection of the bill were given
in the order, but the commission
ers stated that there we're matters
connected with it which caused
them to defer voting in favor of
paying the bill at this time. One
OF the matters, they said, was The
difference in the wages paid tie
company for the assistants and
those actually paid the assistants
by the company, Before making
any decision The commissioners
conferred at length with Mr.. Rein

At the conference Mr.. Flemming
said that there was no contract
which he could find under which
the accountants were working, only
an order from the commissioners
being on the records. This order
he said, allowed the company SIS
a day for Mr.. Reinhard's services
and SO day for the assistants.
Mr.. Flemming intimated that lie
thought Il ese assistants should
ceive all OF this pay. MIR. Rein
hard declared that he was placed
to additional expense which he
made up in this manner,

fact that the report was not up to-

I features Of the audit. He believed
that the report should be in shape
so that it could be turned in when
the county was ready to stop.
The fact that Mr.. Thomas was
