A series of photographs was made of
the eclipse by Joe d. Thomson. The
roll of films was left on a table in the
living room of the Thomson home.
Sunday morning sad after chapter
was played when Mr.. and Mrs. Thomi-
sons elder daughter, Becky Ann, APP
for an explanation Of the peculiar roll
of paper she had found. She had un.
sealed the undeveloped films and had
exposed them to the light. Methods
adopted were meant to impress on
Becky AIMS memory that children
should carefully avoid an investigation
of unusual packages.
While leading figures in the world Of
science were busy Saturday engaged in
perfecting the last details of arrange
ments for observing the total eclipse of
the sun, Leroy Childs, who has recent

of the codlng moth. one of the most
destructive of orchard insects, was just
as busy not, however, preparing for a
view of the obscured sun.
For a week Mr.. Childs, who has
found that the female moth. at this sea-
son of the year, begins her daily egg
laying at twilight, had been construct

BIG MAIN CRUSHED
WATER SHORTAGE ON

The break Monday Of a main from
Tucker Springs, furnishing a million
gallons daily and Hood Rivers chief
source of water supply, has brought a
temporary water famine. With the
hottest days of the year on. an official
warning has been issued, placing ban
on irrigation. Mayor Dumble, in order
that sufficient water may be conserved
from the old city spring for fire prOtec-
tion, has appealed to citizens to use a
little water as possible for household
uses.
The main was crushed by the set
tling of an earth fill that is being
thrown across Indian creek gorge by j.
G.. FairfoWl, doing the work under con-
tract from the county.
The break destroyed nearly 900 feet
of the big woodenstave pipe main
While the city kept on hand repairs for
sections of the pipe, the destruction
was of such extent that Supt. Price
had to go to Portland to secure addi-
tional pipe. He thinks that the repairs
may be completed by Saturday night.
Supt. Price says that some do not
realize the seriousness of the damage,
and are continuing their irrigation, de-
spite the official warning The city is
now getting absolutely no water from
Tucker Springs, and the Heights sec
tion for part of the time is without
water for household purposes. Unless
the requests of the city officials are
complied with, arrests may follow.

JOHN GLUCK HAS
GIVEN RECORD SUM

Proportionate to his earnings, it is
likely that no individual in the United
States has contributed more heavily to
the Red Cross than John Gluck, aged
50 and one time soldier of the Austrian
empire. Gluck, who earns his living
as a laborer on county roads, Saturday
gave Secretary Ravlin the sum of 1888,
bringing his total donations since the
war began to an even 500.
Many have attempted to get the
story Of this man, but he is marked by
his reticence. His few expressions dis
play an abiding loyalty to and faith in
the principles of his adopted country.
He says, too, that a strong love re-
mains with him for the land Of his
birth, whose peoples, he declares, will
receive the greatest blessing of their
national existence when America
makes possible the decisive defeat of
the armies of the Central powers.

And Saturday afternoon, when the

the sun. Mr.. Childs, instead Of gazing
towards the western heaven, was abb

the approaching darkness sent the
chickens to roost, Mr.. Childs says the

WHY 1T IS 'czECHO-SLOvAK'
Sounds Awkward, but Really Is the
Only Way 70 Correctly Express
What Is Meant.

Speaking of the awkward cognomen
Of "Czecho-S -Sloyak," the Independent
says 1t Is partly due to linguistic acci-
dent and partly to political exigence.
The old familiar name Bohemia" has,
like the name Serbia" territorial
rather than a radical significance and
is too small to cover the clinical en-
tity on which the modern concept of
nationality is founded. The Slovak
language Is only dialetically different
from the Czech or Bohemian, but the
differences were ypurposely intensified
during the nineteenth century to keep
the Hungarian branch of the race.
apart from the Austrian. Even in
America Slovak and Czech newspapers
are distinct, although either people
can read the other. language. Profess
sOr Masaryk, head of the new Czecho-
Slovak republic. Is Slovak. The
SlOyaks,, being inferior to the Czechs
in numbers, wealth and education, are
naturally insistent upon equal rights
and recognition. The spelling Czech
is neither native nor English. 1t is a
Polish form of the word, foisted upon
the world by persistence Of yiennese
journalists. The True Bohemian spell
ing "Cech" is impossible to our news
papers for lack of type with inverted
caret over the c. to represent Ch. The
final ch is sounded like the German
cultural or the Scottish ch as in
''Ioch," but to the ordinary ear is hard
iy distinguishable from plain k.

DESTINATIONS Words.

Why cannot scientific persons who
undertake to be informing to the pub
lie learn to display their learning less
ostentatiously and to convey their
meaning more fntelligibly? One health
authority tells us profoundly that IAN
orexia" also is present with Spanish
influenza. We take this, from the die.
donary, to mean loss of appetite,
which really would not be bad thing
these days; but unless it is assumed
that nobody but medical men are to
have the disease, it might be well to
give the miscellaneous lay public a
chance to know what may all it.
