ITALY HAD FIRST PAWNsHoP
From That Country the System Gradu-
ally Spread Over tho Rest Of the
.... Civilized World.

The French call them monts-de-piete,
but no satisfactory explanation for this
nomenclature is forthcoming. The es-
tablishment of municipal af,pawnshops in
France was attended with more diff
Guilty than was the case in other coun.
tries.
1t is from Italy that the idea of mu-
nicipal pawnshops spread over the rest
of Europe. A municipal pawnshop was
set up in Madrid in the year 1705,
when priest with very little capital
opened up as an 'uncle." The system
was tried at Avignon in 1877, but 1t
was not until the year 1777 that Paris
itself was provided with a mont-de-
piete, The national assembly upset the
monopoly and the business passed into
private handE The extortions Of the
pawnbrokers In time led, however, TO
demand for the re-establishment Of
the governmental institutions. In 1906
Napoleon re-establlshed the monopoly,
regulating 1t by laws that are still in
force. The interest charged amounts
to about per cent.
In Paris the mont-de-piete is In effect
department Of the administration,
but in the provinces 1t Is municipal
monopoly.

Wrist Watches Anoat.

Wrist watches at sea, with their
luminous dials, are at once a convent
ence, safeguard and peril. You can
tell the time without tearing your
clothes to pieces or going to light.
When you walk along the deck at night
you can hold your forearm SO that the
dial glows In the sight Of all who are
passing along the deck and thus pre-
vent collisions. If you don't play up
your wrist watch, you are supposed to
whistle sweet and low" In the dark as
you pass along. But II you are not
passing along the deck. only lingering
along the deck rail, and are fortunate
In having one Of the few women who
are crossing as your companion in that
lingering, your luminous dial at rest
on the deck rail is apt to wreck the
wonderful sense Of secluslon that dark
ened decks give these war times. One
heartless patrol trip or two ago step
ped to the rail and asked a dismayed
subaltern not to have his wrist watch
quite SO far around" whatever that
meant, because 1t might be detected by
q ubmarine.-Nelson Collins In the

FROM PALACE OF PHARAOH
University of Pennsylvania to Have
Pillar That Once Adorned
Rulers Throneroom.

The first word in long time from
the Eckley B. Coke expedition to Egypt
has been received at the University
of Pennsylvania museum from DIR.
Clarence S. Fisher, its leader. Doctor
Fisher reported excellent success dur
ing the winter explorations at Dem
dereh, the ancient capital of Egypt, up
the Nile.
In April he returned to Memphis and
continued his work Of uncovering the
palace Of Merenpthah, who Is identi-
fed by many Biblical scholars as the
Pharaoh of the Oppression, whose
stubbornness brought on the plaques.
If this Is correct, the great hall and
throneroom of the palace, which has
now been completely uncovered, was
the scene Of the appearance Of Moses
and Aaron before Pharaoh, and where
the signs and wonders were performed.
The throne is said to be In good con-
ditlon, but Egypt will not permit 1t to
come to this country.
Fortunately, Doctor Fisher has
worked over the pieces of the IL colos-
sal pillars which upheld the roof and
has recovered enough to make one
complete pillar. which will be brought
to the university museum and set up.
1t will be the most notable specimen
of Egyptian architecture In this cOun-
try. The pillars were six feet in diam
eter, 80 feet high, covered with in
scrlptions and pictures lnlald with
gold. Much Of the paneling of the
room and the lIntels Of the doors also
were inIald with gold, and these Will
be brought here.
The natives of Egypt, 1t Is said, call
the palace "The Temple OF Noses" as
they have an idea that is where he was
reared. "a

SPANISH INFLUENZA
BECOMES EPIDEMIC

There are. no cases of Spanish Infu-
enza as yet reported in Athena. The
nearest point where the epidemic is
raging is at Walla Walla. where the
schools, theatres and all meetings have
been ordered closed and dispensed with
until the contagion can be controlled.
All schools, churches and public amuse-
ment places throughout the state are
to be closed Immediately upon tbe ap-
pearance of an outbreak of the epi-
demic in the community, according to
instructions mailed by the State
Board of Health to all city and county
health officers in Oregon.
This IS in direct line with the recent
communication from Surgeon General
Rupert Blue. instructing the board Of
health to mobilize all medical aid re-
quired in combating the influenza epi-
demic, with the aid of the Volunteers
Medical Service corps.
Twenty-Five deaths in Seattle and
vicinity in the last 48 hours is the re-
cord uf the influenza epidemic now
sweeping through that section of the
country. Eight deaths were in Seattle,
seven at the University of Washington
naval training station and ten at Brehn-
erton.
Health Commissioner J. S. Mcbride
announced that serum for Spanish
inufenzs, worked out by health officials
and naval authorities at Bremerton,
has proved a success. Then when the
serum was ready for trial 5000 sailors
were vaccinated with it. "0f these"
said DR.. Mcbride, "only three have
contracted Spanish influenza and these
were in mild FORM"

HERE'S ANOTHER FROG STORY
New Workers. Experience Seems to
corroborate Tale Told by the
kalser's Press Agent.

This Is the time Of the year when
fish stories are permissible. so the kai-
ser's press agent cannot be blamed for
pulling that one about the frogs croak-
ing in such deafening fashion that
they enabled the Germans to bring up
their batteries without being discov-
cred by the allies. Hank Newman, who
invented the famous snapper" elixir,
partly bears out the statement made
by the Hun war correspondent. He
knows all the habits of the Johnny
Crapauds and he declares that they can
make some noise when they begin to
croak. II don't know anything about
those bloodthirsty frogs Of the Chemin
des Danes, however," explained Mr..
Newman. "But down in Ozone Park,
where I live, there is frog pond. and
hundreds Of them live quiet, peace
full life. In fact, the frogs down my
way are musical, for they lull the ma
tive to sleep. There is one big fellow,
however, who has a high pitched voice.
! named him Caruso because he war
bles louder than any In the flock. For
some time Caruso and me were quite
chummy. As soon as he heard my
alarm clock go off at five in the morn
ing, he would come to my window and
sing roundelny. which indicated that
he was hungry. That was when I
hnd daylight work. Now I'm on nights
and don't get to bed until three In the
morning. And for the past three weeks
Caruso and his entire chorus made
sleep impossible for me, sosI found It
necessary to move far from the frog
pond."-New York Sun.

COULD HEED CALL l0F Wild


A flock Of geese, northward bound,
honked wildly in their flight. His feet
on his desk. his window open to the
breezes Of the morning, he heard the
call. For an hour he sat amid the con-
fiicting sounds of great city hurrying
about its work. But his thoughts were
miles away. His eyes were dreamy.
The spell Of the wild was upon him.
He wandered in fertile fields awak-
ing to renewed life. He beheld the
meadows lush with grass. He sat be-
side wide flowing rivers and tiny
brooks whose waters rushed In foamy
splendor from hilly heights above. He
wandered to wooded slopes, with trees
a-bud and wild flowers peeping from
beneath dead leaves. A peace was his
which seldom came In his workaday
existence In the land Of pavement and
beehive dwellings. He dreamed on.
Brook trout in speckled splendor rose
to his captivating hook. Camp fires lit
the darkness Of his dream night. The
odor of burning pine wood and of siz-
zling trout and bacon filed his nos
trils. He ate food such as his city
chefs bad never learned to cook, with
an appetite his city stomach had long
since lost. In single hour he dreamed
more happiness than had been his for
a decade.
He closed his desk, Another hour

JUST SIMPLE COMMON SENSE

Word "Psychology."

One way to get an audience nova
days is to call the subject Of ones

fessor recently amazed convention
of clothing manufacturers and deal
ers by delivering an address upon this
topic, In which he laid down several
principles about the effect Of clothing
upon the wearer, and the surprise Of
his hearers was due to the discovery
that what the learned man had dlgni-
fed by long word was nothing more
than what more commonly passes for
common sense. A good many Of the
things he said were already known to
them, IL they had stopped to think.
When he placed them under the head

Highly Harris, Worth $175O00
Is Bond Stacker; Hilbert and
Peters Subscribed for Bonds

The Central Committee of the Una
tilla County Patriotic Service League
feels that it has occasion and ample
warrant for presenting to the public
the name of Highly Harris Of Milton
as one who has consistently and flag
rantly failed in the support of his gov
ernment at war. 1t believes that the
word Stacker" was coined for just
such men as he.
Mr.. Harris has lived in Umatilla
county many years and has grown
wealthy here. He is generally credited
with being the wealthiest citizen of
the east end of the county. He is
paying taxes under his own name on
real property assessed at S75, 900 and
personal property assessed at 81 0, 900.
A very conservative estimate as to
his wealth made by men in a position
to judge places it at SITS, 900.
Mr.. Harris did not subscribe to the
First or Second Liberty Loan. In the
Third Loan, when an organization for
rounding up delinquents was created.
he subscribed $4,000. That was the
amount Of his subscription to the
Fourth Loan also. He refused to sub
scribe for his rating of $4,000. He
was notified to appear before this COM
mittee and make such explanation as
he deemed might justify his refusal.
He ignored the notice and the commit
tee feels that it should hesitate 70
longer in exposing him to the citizer-
ship of the county for the shirker that
he is.
In the Second Red Cross War Fund
campaign Mr.. Harris e,used to con-
tribute dollar and we have no record
of his ever having made donation to

HapIess cIarlbeI,s Encounter.

The sun was slowly sinking in the
usual place. Claribei Skippenhop, over
whose youthful head scarce thlrty-sev.
en- summers had lightly flown, sat in
regulatlon-size hammock. Idly swinging
her foot to the tune Of "Keep the
Home Liars Squirming," played on
Hottentot bagpipe AZ miles away.
Suddenly thought seized her. She
tried to scream and break Its hold. She
succeeded In both. Probably one and
fifteen eight-millionths Of a cubic
second was allowed to elapse between
her scream and the time the thought
was covering at her feet.
"Avaunt," she cried. "Don't you
know this Is my thoughtless day? Now,
doggone It, I'll have a headache"
Then she went back to swing her
foot and the hammock.
