Australian Amusements

From the National Geographic Magazine
 As in the United States, the "movies' often constitute the chief indoor amuse-
 ment, but the universal recreation is the
 picnic, which in Australia reaches it's highest development. Men, women, chil- dren, families, clubs, churches, lodges, and miscellaneous groups are out on picnics afternoons, Sundays and holidays. Two picnics a week are not unusual; 8 young lady of my acquaintance had five to her credit. The picnickers walk, ride horses, take wagons, or go by motor, street car, train, or boat. They go to the shore, to the woods, to rivers, 10 picturesque hillsdes or to the Geological
 and botanical gardens, which in Austral- ian cities are used, not guarded by keep off the grass signs. The time is occupied by gossiping, reading. sewing, writing letters, playing simple games, eating lunch or supper, fishing. swimming, study ! ing flowers or insects, or plain resting.'

The Innocent Suffer Even Unto the Third and Fourth Cen erations, But Relief Is Now in Sight.

It has long been accepted as mat ter of course that the sins of the fathers must be suffered by innocent posterity, yet it is hard to become rec onciled to this condition. The heritage of physical infirmity is handicap under which thousands must face the battle of life.
 Scrofula is probably the most notice able of the transmitted blood disorders, though there are other more severe diseases of the blood that pass from one generation to another. No matter what inherited blood taint you may be

E~SPECIoUS PLEA EXPOSED

= with regard to the short supplies
az natural gas that periodically afflict
the consumers in this State, statistics
Just compiled by the United States
Geological Survey of the production
OF natural gas in 1916 absolutely re-
flute the reason given by the operat-
ing companies in West Virginia for
the constant recurrence OF the short
axe of supply in that year, that they
were occasioued by decreased pro-
duction Of the wells. The Geological
Survey report states that the volume
OF natural gas commercially utilized
in the United States in 1915 was
greater than that so utilized IN any
other year in the history of the natu-
raj gas industry The volume used.
which amounted 20 1910. o53.000
cubic feet, constitutes new record.
exceeding by nearly 125 billion cubic
feet, or 20 per cent. the former record
established in 1915.
with this generalization OF the
production of the country, the plea
might be put in that while the rest
OF. the producing fields Of the United
States showed an increase. that of
West Virginia might have been de-
-Hcient. The detailed report. how
ever, discloseS the fact that West Viz
gfnia led all of the States in increased
production. with Pennsylvania and
the great Oklahoma field trailing sec
ond and third. respectively. This rec
ord effectually disposes OF the
specious pleas Of the producers Of gas
In this State that lessened production
accounted for the decrease in the sup
.nv. The trouble was fully stated in
The Intelligencer yesterday. that the
Increased demand outside OF the State
Was met By shortening N" supply 20
consumers in the State. That is tn"
injustice we shall have TO address our
selves to to remedy. 1t can be done.
It. must be done.

We had been led to believe that the

Called By Death While
Making a New Year Visit

While making visit at the
home of Mrs. Maud Taylor,
whose guest she had been since
Saturday, Mrs. 3. A. Ryan of
West Seattle was taken suddenly
i'll Monday evening with an at
tack of epileptic paralysis it is
stated and expired before medi-
cal aid could reach her.
The case is peculiarly sad, as
the husband, who is purser on
the steamer "Potlatch," was
away on his regular run and
could not be reached until his
boat returned on Tuesday morn
ing, and not until then did he
learn of his wife's death. Mr..
Ryan came to Vashon on the
forenoon boat and took charge of
the remains, which were shipped
to Seattle for interment.
