KISSING the Black Stone.

As well die Jew or a Christian as
not make the pilgrimage to Mecca, said
Mohammed. and no obligation of Islam
is more piOusly discharged. 1t Is be-
lieved that the ritual connected with
the visit to the Ka'aba-the square
building"-and the kissing OF the black
stone go back to days Of idolatry, the
time of ignorance" before the new
faith bloomed.
The black stone, which measures
about six inches by eight, is believed to
have fallen from paradise. to have
been guarded during the deluge and
handed to Abraham by Gabriel when
the Ka'aba was built. Certain parts Of
the ceremonial-the throwing of stones
at the devil and the imitation of Ha-
gar's distracted wanderings in the des-
ert-are supposed to have had signifi-
canoe for the pre-Mohammedan times
as well as for Islam.-London Chron-
icle.

The Sundial.

The sundial is an instrument of great
antiquity, for 1t is referred TO In the
Bible isaiah xxxviii, s.. and 1t has
been estimated that the date of this
sundial would be about 700 years be-
fore the beginning of the Christian era.
The first sundial of which history dis
tinctly tells us is that Of the Chaldean
astronomer Berossus. who probably
lived about 800 B. c.
Then and for many years afterward
the art of constructing sundials to suit
any place and situation was an impor-
tant branch of mathematical study.
The sundial az invented by this Be-
rossus remained in use for many centu-
ries. four of these having been found in
Italy in modern times. One which was
discovered at Tivoli in TAG is believed
by some to have belonged to Cicero.

NO NISERS WANTED.

People are still talking about the
financial course they ought to steer
while the war lasts. On this subject
cartoonist lately gave some pretty
straight and short advice when he
said: Economic, but don't be an
econo-MISER."
The man who knocks out all his
regular habits of living, just so he
can sit in darkened room and count
his nickels by candlelight, isn't go
ing to help very much-either him
self or his neighbors. On the other
hand, there will be lot of help. for
all people concerned, in the man
who keeps his head first and his mon
ey afterward. He will uce his brains
to decide where he can save without
injury, and at the same time where
and how to go on spending and buy
ing.
This is the Job which the national
economy board, appointed by the
president, is trying to do for the
whole country. The board wants to
keep business moving. but it says
there must be some readjustments.
For instance, the American people are
now paying 10 per cent on every pur-
chase they make. for the luxury Of
having their goods delivered. The
national board says we should have
fewer unnecessary deliveries, and
storekeepers will doubtless be glad
to accept this The trouble will come
in getting the people to put up with
the change, after twenty years when
women in cities have had every spool
of thread delivered by wagon.
Also the national board wants us
to learn more about the use of cotton
in woolen goods. Our standard has
been "all WOOL" while countries like
England have learned to use much
more cotton than we do, and still
make more durable garments than
ours. With a wool shortage that may
reach 1OO,OO0OOO pounds next year,
We must mend our methods. Finally,
in all lines of goods, there must be
fewer fancy styles and more depend
able staples. In ways like this We
shall be economizing. but not injuring
or destroying business.

The FireIess Cooker.

The fireless cooker has come to stay.
Its usefulness is no longer a question,
but q fact. 1t is one of the modern con-
veniences and, unlike many of them, it
does not keep running up bills after 1t
Is installed. Buy it, and the cost is
ended. 1t does not get out of repair un-
less greatly abused. 1t does save fuel
bills and labor. 1t cooks many things
better than they can be cooked in any
other way.
There are many kinds Of fireless cook
ers on the market. IN choosing among
them one may select the kind best
adapted for the particular conditions it
is to meet, and the space in the kitchen
which 1t is to occupy. OF course a fac
tory made cooker is best. but any one
who cannot afford to buy one will find
it worth while to use a home made one.
A person with only little mechanical
skill, by following the directions
which can be procured from the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington, can
make cooker that will fulfill most Of
the needs.-Woman's Home Compan-
ion.

SOLDIERLY DISCIPLINE.

1t may be thought that the boys
who are cheerfully accepting the duty
of military service are giving all and
getting nothing. 1t is very true that
they are giving all to their country
and are entitled to full credit there
for, but they are really getting great
deal.
The private soldier may think he
is at the bottom of the heap, every
body's underling, and a mere drudge
and possible cannon fodder, but he
undertakes his experience. The
drilling III company with other men
is giving him invaluable requirements
of quick thought and accurate action
He is learning to receive. compre-
hend and execute orders quickly and
accurately. Under this discipline a
great many slow-witted boys are men
tally stimulated, and will come out
of army life capable of quick, force
! full and resolute action. The physical
benefits of the open-air life are obvi-
Gus, and the mental advantages are
no less important. Army life is a
great school.

County Tennis
Here in August

Ashland will have to hand 1t to the
out-of-town tennis players. Although
there are a number of excellent per-
formers with the racquet in this city,
the Medford representative cleaned
up the tennis tournament held as a
feature of the celebration with the
exception Of the women's singles.
Ernest Adams of Medford won the
mems singles, Adams and Normile Of
Medford won the mems doubles, and
Miss Josephine Saunders of Ashland
the ladies singles. Credit for the
successful staging Of snappy tourna-
ment on very short notice goes to
John Beeson of Talent, who took care
OF the many details necessary to such
tournament. AS result of the cup
competition. new tennis interest has
, been aroused in Ashland, and during
the remainder of the summer the val
ley tennis players are planning to get
together frequently. 1t has been sug-
gested that Jackson county tourna-
ment be staged on the Lithia park
courts some time in August, and the
suggestion is meeting with general IA
vor. The county tournament is usu-
ally held at the Medford Country
Club, but owing to the fact that many
of the clubs tennis enthusiasts have
been called to war, the Medford or
ganization has waived the right Of
holding the tournament. Mr.. Beeson
will take up the matter with the lower
valley players, and It seems likely
that Ashland can have a two or
three day tournament in August
when there are no other attractions
to detract from the interest in the
best Of summer games.

Sailors SIGNS.

Strange signs frequently hang from
ships which puzzle even dwellers in
seaport towns. A basket slung from
the mainmast head is sailors sign to
notify that the cargo has been loaded
or discharged, as the case may be, and
that the ship is ready to start on her
next trip.
A generally mysterious emblem is a
broom lashed to a mainmast or bridge
railing. This is to signify that the YES
sci is for sale.
Occasionally dark blue stripe may
be seen running fore and aft on a ves-
sci. AS a matter of fact. this is a sign
Of recent bereavement. Blue Is the
sailors mourning, and the stripe Of
this color takes the place Of the black
magin or band used by the landsman
as notification Of death.-Exchange.

BY Mary Agnes Daily, Talent, Ore.
Today I lie adreaming

When I was young and fresh
With hope and faith aglow
Within my breast.
The author of my being,
With proud and happy mein,
SEM me forth upon my Journey
To grace some magazine
And bring some cash.
But now, alack- aday!

No longer fresh and trim,
But with edges frayed and grim,
A sorry fright
Oh, would that l had died
Fer this fell luck betide,
But bow was l to know

BUILDING A FORD.

There was an old man
And he had wooden leg;
He had no money
And he wouldn't beg.
He mad a piece of pipe
And a twelve-inch board.
Says he to himself,
"I'll make a Ford"
A gallon Of gas
And a quart of oil
And a pile Of wire
To make a coil,
Four big spools
And an old milk can
He hammered together,
And the d-n thing ran!

VACATION AS ALWAYS.

The arrival of vacation time this
year finds a meagre and unthinking
minority advising the American peo-
pie to forego their rest and renewal
that the nation may throw its whole
available strength into the war for
liberty, This is poor advice. 1t is
not the advice of those who know
best how tremendous is the task the
country faces and how best 1t may be
prosecuted with victorious energy.
Our strength must be at par, or at
par plus. An unprecedented task
calls for workers refreshed and re-
built, for great physical vigor and
mental alerthess, for the combined
effort Of a strong, jealous and deter
mined people.
In the vacation regions the slogan
should be, Business as usual" The
federal government itself, speaking
through Secretary Lane, has directed
attention anew to its national parks
and the opportunities they afford for
recreation and health-building. The
government would stimulate rather
than obstruct the peoples enjoyment
OF these advantages. The word of the
leaders of our nation is that the
weary should seek their accustomed
relief from toll and that the worn
should recuperate.
This nation has acquired world
wide reputation for creative energy
because its people have jealously
guarded and steadily increased their
individual power. They are an out
door people with the exploring in
stinet and OF adventurous habit. They
like the sunlight and the open places,
and they turn each summer to the
mountains, the plains and the great
forests. There they shed their weari-
ness, find new spirit and acquire
a new Will to do, gaining firmness OF
muscle and clarity of thought and
a recovering interest in their employ
ment.
An exhausted or sluggish worker is
the most inefficient type OF worker.
He owes 1t as much to hic country as
TO his employer and himself to rebuild
his depleted strength and freshen his
interest in his labor The beginning
OF summer finds workers everywhere
at comparatively low inefficiency. but
the universal custom OF taking a short
or prolonged rest when the great out
doors offers its myriad attractions
has served each year as a tonic TO
restore efficiency in the highest de-
gree. Never in their history have the
American people put greater energy
into years work than since last va
cation time. The next year will de-
mand even greater effort. Never has
there been greater need of rebuilding.
The great army of workers, the army
behind the fighting army, must be as
fit and as fresh as the soldier.
Let the people come again into
communion with Nature and Nature
:, will Undue them with a new willing
ness to face increased responsibilities
and give them strength TO achieve a
new record for work.
Vacation as always! The govern
ment invites you to visit its great
Fairgrounds Get into the mountains
and the woods. There health and
Inspiration await you. Do not destroy
your capacity for work by doing moth.
