Clipping With a Pin.

When you lose your knife or do not
have pair of scissors at hand for cut
ting the paper a common pin or needle
of any kind serves the purpose ad-
mirably, says Popular Science Month
ly. II 1t is single sheet from which
the clipping is to be removed. lay the
part on another paper, hold the pin
slantwise so that the point will follow
around the clipping, just as If tracing
its outline.
Pass back over the scratch with the
point in the lead and you will be sur
prised how smoothly the pin cuts the
paper.

Tropical Rains.

Tropical rains are of relatively short
duration, the reason of the small num-
beS Of cyclonic storms in the tropics,
and this duration is fairly uniform
throughout the year.
The heaviest general rainfalls In
Porto Rico are associated with West
Indian hurricanes. The historic hur-
ricane of August 8, 1899, precipitated
rainfall equivalent to lib tons per
acre.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd. March 2I.-The
Washington suburban sanitary com
mission bill. creating a sanitary dis
trict in Maryland territory adjacent
to Washington and authorizing an ex.
tension of District sewers and water
mains to serve it. passed the senate
without amendment yesterday after

Having already passed the house.
the bill now goes TO Governor Har-
riugton for approval, and friends OF

The bill affects ninety-hve square
miles OF Maryland territory. and in
coTporates it under the name Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary District.
Complete control of all sanitary ques-
tions in this district is vested by the
bill in a commission which is given
power to take aver all existing
public and private water and sewer
systems within the area and con-
struct a comprehensive water and
sewer system therein.
1t is estimated that the cost OF the
new system when completed will be
81. 500 900, 100000 Of which will
represent new construction and $500
900 the amount necessary to -Eeim
burse owners OF existing systems

would by no means fill the abyss, and
would leave a hole that would be
more than twice the size OF the crater
OF hilauea, In the Hawaiian Islands,
which has always been credited with
having the largest active crater In
the world.
The great difference is in depth.
Kilauea has a depth OF 500 feet. while
katmai's depth OF nearly 1000 feet Is
almost as great as that OF the Grand

DR.. GriEgs has repeatedly been ask

territory on foot. He explains that

almost uncomfortable. In some cases the
party had to walk through hot mud.

society since the eruption on June 6.
1912. They spent many weeks ON the
valley floor.
Their tents were heated by vapof
sweeping up through the soil; they
cooked their meals by suspending the
cooking pots in the live steam Of

furnished by nature, being hollows

The Katmai valley, which is thirty
two miles long and little more than
two miles wide, is nkened to a gigan-

as the rainbow, and the sight that
Ereets the visitor to the valley is at
first so awe-inspiring as to unnerve
the strongest man. Two members of
DR.. Griggs' party had to be sent down
to the lower camp to regain their
nerve after an hours view of the
valley.
Instead OF hnding ten thousand
small eruptions. the searching party
found many millions. The gases.

alton was expressed this morning by
one of the local war drive officials.
Messages from the various district
chairman over the county are to the
effect that everything is in readiness
to begin Monday morning on an In
tensIve campaign for funds. In fact
one or two of the lesser districts have
already made start. Meacham re-
ports half of her quota already raised.
Here in Pendleton. District Chair
nan Hartman will meet with his pre-
cint chairmen this evening to dlstrlb-
ute among them supplies for the cam
paign and to give them instructions.
The rating of individuals has been
practically completed. The ratings
range from s1.OO to $3.50. The dis
trlct has about 25 per cent more
money to raise In this campaign than
in the last Red Cross campaign and
In general way individual ratings
have been increased proportionately.
Subscribers to the fund will receive
United War work pins and window
emblems in addition to official re-
ceipts for their contributions. Pro-
visions have been made whereby per-
