The Zeppelins were
housed all over Germany and
have a range of four or five hun
dred miles from their various
bases and their aviators are all
skilled earonauts and the ma
chimes are furnished with hugh
bombs which can be dropped
from unassailable heights to the
utter obstruction of all beneath.
Nero sat and fiddled while Rome
was burning was not guilty Of
such cruel treatment Of helpless
defenseless women and children

this war must be won at all haz-

Democracy.
Thomas Leese has resigned as
a member of the Port Commits
sion and B. S. Baker has been
appointed to fill his place.
Mr.. Hawley in the commence
ment of his speech spoke Of the
improvement of the Yaquina
Bay bar and referred to Nehalem
and Siuslaw as examples where
the Government matched the
peoples money in making the
Improvements dollar for dollar.
He promised at the next session
of Congress to do all he could
to get an appropriation for the
Improvement of the Yaquina
Bay harbor.
Mr.. Hawley told in a graphic
way the intense feeling of Con-
gress before declaring a state
of war existed with Germany
He told how the strong men
the suDermen had planned to
control the destinies of the
world. He paid a beautiful trib-
ute to the loyal Germans OF
America for standing by the flag
of their adopted country. He
thought we delayed our prepar.
ations for war too long but
praised President Wilson for his
courage when we could no long.

WHY BOYS LOVE DOGS

There never was a great boy
story written without dog in
it.
Boys and dogs have the same
problems-the same troubles to
overcome. Serious-minded peo-
pie think that all boys are full of
mischief, and that all dogs are
unmitigated nuisances. Thus
boys and dogs have much in
common, and one of their chief
occupations is keeping out of the
way of people who don't like
them.
It is to bad that Booth Tark-
ington's "Penrod Schofield" ar
rived so long after Mark Twain's
TON Sawyer" Tom and Pen
rod would have been great
chums. Then thrown in "IIuck
Finn" for good measure and the
picture is complete.
The Penrod stories in Co.'S
mopolitan are touching the high
water mark Of boy literature,
and Penrod's dog Duke" Is a
sure enough boys dog with
about as much pedigree as a
field mouse.
In November Cosmopolitan
Harrington tells how Penrod
and his side partner, Sam,
named Sans dog Walter-John
Carmichael - sufficiently
gaudy appellation for any mon
grel.
Anyway, If you love boys and
dogs, don't miss a single Penrod
yarn.

CITY RECEIVES
CAR OF WOOD PIPE

The City received carload of
wood pipe on Wednesdays
freight for relaying the pipe line
across the tidelands on the John
McCluskey place. The pipe on
the tidelands has not given satis-
factory service, the action of the
salt water being very severe on
the steel wrapping, and eating
it through in four or five years.
The'new pipe has been specially
treated to withstand this action
of the salt water. 1t is hoped
by this method that the life of
the line will be prolonged twen-
ty or twenty-five years. Mar
shal Schenck has had a crew of
men digging ditch the past week
and will be able to install the
pipe in short order.

ARE YOU HEEDING
YOUR PRESIDENTS CALL

The President has asked for
a second loan of $5,000,000, 900.
to help prosecute the great war.
He is your president and my
President, irrespective of wheth-
er we voted for him, and it Is up
to us to come through with the
cash. When the Nation needed
men it drafted them and those
who hung back or tried to evade
the draft were termed slackers.
Now the Nation must have
CASH to put our boys on a foot
ing, or better, with the other
armies on the firing line. Are
you doing your bit, or are you a
Stacker. This drive for the Sec
ond Liberty Loan of 1917 is on
to a finish, and tomorrow is the
last day. Toledo's share of this
great sum has been placed at
SIT 10000, and we must not fall
down on the job. Newport's
amount has been placed at $11,-
100000 and it is reported that she
will more than raise it. Those
in Portland who are carrying on
the campaign, have requested
that we publish a list Of all
those buying bonds in this city
and vicinity, and the amount.
We publish herewith the list to
date. Next week we will pub

How Flaus Are Mado,

The many thousands of stars used on Old Glory each year are cut out by cutting machine, which manages the eight different sizes needed. The stars on the reverse are simply pieces of cloth pasted to the blue field. An ope- ator using "zigzag" machine stitches around the edge of the star, which has been cut out by machine; this makes star pattern on the piece of cloth pasted on the reverse, and the excess material Is cut with scissors by trimmer" These vary in dimensions from If inches in diameter down to 2 inches. But of all the flags of the United States, the presidents flag en- tails the most labor. To make 1t re- quires all of one woman's time for full month. The flag, consisting of a blue ground with the coat of arms of the United States in the center, Is hand sewed, and it takes days of pa- tient stitching to secure in place the life-sized eagle with it's great wings outstretched. The flag Is made in two sizes, 10 by 14 feet and 3 by feet Scientific Amariran

passed the Colorado river at Yuma Arizcna but it is not the beautiful river you read about, altho it was swollen to the top of it's banks and running like torrent. 1t was all sandy and muddy. We were then in the desert of California. which is just like Arizona. We went through the Imperial Valley which is 26O feet be- tow the sea level
 This valley is the only place in the U. s. where date palms grow the fruit natures. We saw some of the fruit On display. The trees were enormous and beautiful. Here we passed by Salton Sea which is 260 feet below the sea level. We then began to climb the mountains which were hot and bare. By noon we began to reach elevations and things were green and the weather much cooler. It took two big oil burning engines to pull us up the mountain. There we reached the Prune Farms or ranches which were iaiden down with fruit and they were gathering it. Further down we reached the Apricot plantations, then Orange groves, all down the noun tain side and the mountains were GOV cred with the greenest of hay.
 Just at dark we reached Los Angeles which looked like city of parks and parkways. Then we went to bed and woke up about 100 miles from here and gee whiz' we like to have frozen. We were near San Bar bara suppose though none of us saw the town. This morning, when we hit Monterey women were on the beach with heavy coats on but now at 4:30 !. m. it is real warm, not hot, just pleasant.
 Taking it all in all we did not have such bad trip it was hot two days but we were not crowded. We had standard Pullman cars with three of us to two double seats, two to the lower birth and one to the upper. We had enough to eat and plenty of ice water and electric fans, so there was no suffering. Here we are getting good food again. Hoping to hear from you soon.'

Death From Superstition.

A superStitious Buddhist caused a mans death in Mura, Japan. A dealer in clogs went mad, owing to money troubles. His wife and his sister con- suited Buddhist. The ignorant de votee, believing that the man was pos sesSed by fox, advised them to take him to Nose temple. In accordance with the request of the mans relatives the devOtee took the lunatic to Nose temple, where he threw him in a pool beneath waterfall known as Shintaki, holding him fast there with ropes. He repeated the process for a few days Needless to say the lunatc's health suffered considerably by this extraordi- nary treatment. A few days later, at about 4 a. m., the %ealot threw the lunatie in the basin of the waterfall as usual and left him there for few hours. Before he returned the man died from exhaustion and cold. Amazed at this result the ignorant bi- got buried the body in a temple known as Takusonji in the same village, and made out that the lunatic had died from a sudden illness. The police, however, heard of the affair and ar. rested the lnau.

Scientific Discovery of Value.

The British Medical Journal an. nounces that remarkable scientific discovery is now on trial at the casual. ty clearing stations in France. The irl- ventor is James Shearer, Scotchman twenty years old, employed as ser geant in the medical corps. The new discovery succeeds just where X-ray photography fails. It produces pie lures of structures located far below the surface of the outer skin just at the point where X-ray photography ceased to perform effectively. By means Of it, it is possible in broad daylight to obtain detailed pictures of the internal organs and to see at glance by what gross lesions they may be affected The apparatus works as long as the body is living. and even until molecular death has set In. After that 1t does not work.
