cept for the latter reason all names might a. well be
or printed with . rubber stamp.
: The average signature is . fearscue thing. A few
months ago a Minneapolis paper published facsisniles
OF the signatures Of several dozen Minneapolis bankers.
Most Of them were illegible. Occasionally there was one
in which the scrawl suggested certain initials, ana in
that case the person whose acquaintance was among
Minneapolis bankers might guess at the rest. But in
nearly every case the signature was achieved in such a
manner that If it had been appended to a letter sent to a
stranger the stranger would have been utterly unable to
tell whether the name was Tom smoth or Bill Jones.
Rear Admiral Wood, who seems to have headquar-
ters at Boston, has issued an order to his subordinates
which might profnably be made the basis of a general
law. Hereafter. when, an officer under the admirars
jurisdiction writes him a letter or forwards to him a re-
port If the use Of q typewriter is practicable, the name
will appear in the simple and legible typewriter char
acters. to be followed by the personal signature Of the
writer. with all the rourishes that he cares to attach to
it. The admiral will thus have the advantage of know
ing from whom the missive is received, while the author
will not be denied the lgymnastic exercise from which so
many signers seem to derive pleasure.

SUBMARINES OFF OUR COAST

A submarine has been operating off the eastern
coast Of the United States. One report says that there
are as many as six Of these craft. They are, Of course,
seeking an opportunity to destroy some Of the transports
which are leaving our eastern ports every day. We are
sending men across the ocean at the rate of 800, 900 a
month. That means that several transports are sailing
laden with men. every day. The fact is we'll known to
the Germans. The Germans know from which OF our
ports it Is possible to send these vessels, and it requires
no great astuteness on their part for them to understand
that within a certain time ships must sail from this or
that particular port Yeti the stream Of men proceeds
without interruption Whatever effort has been made
to interfere with them has been unavailing. The victims
OF the submarines thus far have been fishing smacks, OF
which several have been sunk. One Of these fishing vss-
sells instead of being sunk, was captured, which was a
perfectly easy and simple operation. and it was manned
and armed from the submarine. and went on It's way as
q German raider.
These things are annoying. but it is scarcely posi-
bic to prevent them. The fact that they do occur occa-
aionany is no reflection on our navy, which is doing IT'S
work, and doing It well . The submarines will be sunk
or this side of the Atlantic will be made too hot for
them Then, in some unexpected quarter another sub
marine VIII appear, to run its course and be succeeded
by another. So long as Germany has seaports and the
material with which to build submarines she will be able
to get submarines into deep water, and, once there, they
may bob up anywhere.

Nothing better contrasts the char

people than the temper in which they

vENERATE THE BROWN BEAl
Yakuts Believe Animals to Be Reincar
nation Of Their Most Ter
ribie God.

The influence of Yakutian mythology
can perhaps be seen at it's strongest In
the ideas concerning the brown bear,
which is found in large numbers in the
Kolymsk country, says Mr.. /. V. Shklov-
sky, in his book, "In Far Northeast
Siberia" The Yakuts believe the ami
mails to be an incarnation Of their most
terrible god, Ulu-Tayon.
A long caravan of pack horses will
suddenly stop on its way.
"What is the matter?" ask anxious
voices.
"Ulu-Tayon !" answers the terrified
guide.
And, indeed. the dreaded beast comes
out of the forest and sits on his
launches, showing his teeth at them
He fears to attack so many persons,
but, on the other hand, he does not
seem inclined to go away.
All the men huddle together, and the
best speaker among them advances
little, removes his cap and says:
"Ulu-Tayon, we know that you alone
are the owner of these parts, and we
have not come into your territory to
insult you but because our way lies
through 1t. Forgive us, 0 Ulu-Tayon,
for you know that none Of our sons
are bear hunters. Why, then, should
you harm us?"
Meanwhile some of the Yakuts pros
trate themselves and cry, "Have mercy
on us, Ulu-Tayon Others, with
trembling hands, prepare huge wood
fires. 1t frequently happens that the

Fattened on Beet Pulp.

The desert cattle ranchers of Ari
IONA and New Mexico have learned
that to raise cattle is one business and
to fatten them is another. For this
reason they ship their cattle to Cali
fornia, where surgar beet pulp is OBJ
tanned In abundance. One factory is
located near the fields where the beets
are grown. The cattle are turned into
this field after the beets are harvested.
Under the fence is placed trough
which projects outside Of the fence
Just enough to allow the beet pulp te
be thrown into it from the cars. The
cars run on tracks from the factory to
the field and follow the fences around
the corral. More space Is thus obtain.
ed for the beef cattle to feed, and there
Is but little waste of fodder. In these
war days the cattlemen are learning
to conserve stock food, as the cattle
themselves are conserved for our use.
