Military Spies,

One of the ingenious ideas of mod.
ern war strategy is to utilize artist
skill in making drawing of a fortifi
cation without betraying its purport
on the surface. The spy makes {
drawing which appears to be an ordi.
nary landscape. II caught with 1t he
might pose with comparative safety
as an artist who had been sketching
for pleasure and was entirely ignorant
Of the existence Of any fort and its
surroundings.
Interpreted according to a secret
code, however, the picture reveals to
the spy's government a fairly com.
plete plan of fort This is indicated
by the character and position OF de-
tails. One kind of tree represents an
nrmored gun turret. A bush is an oh.
servation turret. Other forms of trees
are gun positions, a couple of gates
are entrances to the fort, piece Of
fencing is barbed wire entangle-
ment, lines of bushes are bitches, and
SO On.-Kansas City Star.

already begun, consists of the con-
struction of 81, 200 gymnasium build

Art Kolstad, for his aggressiveness
in making ready for the farewell dane
ing party for our artillery boys next
Monday night, deserves much praise.
Even though you believe dancing is a
sin, the recording angel will not chalk
it up against you if you participate
actively or passively, by the purchase
of a ticket, in next Mondays affair,
when money will be raised that our
boys may have some of the accustomed
home luxuries after they have begun
active training at mobilization camps.

Advocates Straight-Run Gasoline

"You hear a good deal of talk lately
about the quality of gasoline being
sold," said Hood River Garage man.
Unsatisfactory results with motor
fuel are due to the great number of
mixtures being offered the public in
the guise of gasoline. Mixtures can
not be as good motor fuel as straight
run gasoline because mixtures cannot
have continuous chain of boiling
points. Easy starting, quick and
smooth acceleration, power and mile
age all depend absolutely on the boil
ing points of a gasoline. And straight
distillation only can give gasoline the
correct, unbroken, gradually rising
series of boiling points.
Incidentally, gravity is worthless
test for gasoline. Gravity tells moth.
ing at all about boiling points,"

Swimmers Hamper Irrigation

Officials of the Dee Power & Irriga.

the land of the Dee Flat district, re-
port that young men and women who
have indulged in swimming in the

have caused the cave-in of soft banks.
Chunks and sticks, which stop gauges,
have been thrown in the bitches. The
offenders have been warned that prose

The precedent for swimming in the

We have known Commodore Dean
for many years, and Hood River has
never had a more lovable character.
The deviltry of the boys who have
abused the privilege of swimming near
his ferry landing must be of more than
an ordinary character to arouse an out
burst from him. Hood River boys, if
made of the proper stuff, will take
matters into their own hands and put
stop to the abuses reported.

Head Shows Perry Lock

One of the most convenient systems
of locking an automobile recently seen
in Hood River is being demonstrated
by Bert Head, who has the local
agency for the Perry Auto Lock Co.
The device is included in the steering
wheel. When locked. the wheel is
entirely detached from the steering
apparatus, and car cannot be moved
under its own power, nor towed.
Insurance companies reduce their bur.
glary rate Is per cent on all cars
equipped with the auto lock. The
device, including the steering wheel,
sells for $l5-for Fords, $5.

Fruit Not DAMAGED by Heat

The extreme heat locally, reaching a
mixmium of l0l degrees by the record
ing thermometer of E. w. Birge, local
weather observer, and l04 at other val
ley points, has not caused any damage
to apples. Growers rather believe it
will be Of benefit, since it will tend to
temper the fruit to the hot weather of
August, when. the apples having
reached a larger size, damage from
scalding usually occurs. The valley
bean crop, the largest ever grown
here, has suffered severely from the hot
drying days. Where water is not
available the beans will be ruined.

WASHINGTON, July p
President Wilson today
created and set into motion
the gigantic machinery of the
draft.
by n proclamation Of reg
ulations the president started
the huge labor of singing
out the manhood Of the ma
ton for Americas armies.
The regulations fin the
general classes of men free
from military service, set up
the exemption boards that
sift out the men and define
their duties.
Only u very small group of
classes of men are exempt
from hearing arms. All
others must appear before the
tribunals. Every action Of
the boards Is hedged with
double safeguards against
unfairness and Is wide open
to the public gaze.
The exact methods of the
lottery is left for u later
proclamation. Within ~
few weeks the draft will be
made. In military quarters
