REGULATIONS FOR
SALE OF EXPLOSIVES
ALI Regulations Will Be Strict
ly Enforced During Con-
tinuance of War

The new government regulations for
the sale, disposal and handling of ex-
plosives will be scrupulously observed
and enforced in Oregon, and a strict ae.
counting made of every pound of the
material handled in the state as long
as the country is at war. This announce
men was made following a meeting
of the advisory committee for the reg
ulatlon or explosives at Portland. Those
attending were Harvey Wells, state fire
marshal, ii. h. Ralph, representing the
National Safety Couicil; Paul @. Bates,
Portland, representing the Casualty In
surance Underwriters, Nj. j. Lynch, rep
resenting the Oregon Users of Explo-
sives, George e. Williams, of the Ore
gon Dealers in Explosives and N. r..
johnson, chief of police of Portland.
- We must realize that all our enemies
are not IN Europe" members of the
committee stated today. ''These enemies
do not wear uniforms and do not fight
in the open, but they are plotting ON
every way possible. 1t is therefore es-
sentlal that some drastic action be ta-
ken in handling the explosive situat-
ion".
Licenses are now required for the
use OF explosives, these being issued
by d responsible person in each county.
The government, however, desired to
know what becomes of the powder after
1T is sold, and each person will be re.
quired to keep record of the explo-
sives he uses. information which might
be OF use should be sent at once to vii
liam N. Campbell, of Medford, who is
the government inspector for the state.
The advisory committee is clothed
with full authority to regulate the sale,
use, storage, and handling of explosives
of every kind. Each memDer is now mn
inspector of the bureau of
mines, and is clothed with power to
enter any and all premises at any time
to enforce rigid enforcement of the
law An inspection campaign will be |
started at once over the entire state.
In the mean time, five things are
pointed out by the committee as Of
prime Importance to dealers in explo.
sives, and to the public in general. First.
they must cooperate with the govern
nent to keep the explosives from fall
ng into the hands of disloyal people.
Second, there is no restriction in the
of powder if the license IS
properly secured, and record kept of
he persons to whom it is turned over.
Third, report, without delay, any con
lition of carlessness or disregard of
proper regulations. Laxity in Oregon
nay result in loss of life or property
lere or elsewhere. Explosives, if easily
obtained in Oregon, might be used to de-
trOV the QOUernmant 20 xyor rrapa 70 4; ;.,,,,
n other sections of the country.
Fourth, every person authorized to
manufacture or store explosives is ask
d to closely watch the premises, and to
onspicuously display sign Explo
ives, keep off"
Fifth, ignorance cf the law is no ex-
use, and a fine of not more than $4,000
r Imprisonment for not more than
ear may be given for violation of the .
AVIS in the matter.

Fish That Do Not sleen-

"In my room have bowl of water
containing goldfish. 1 noticed that
these fish never sleep. Sometimes I
stay up at night reading until one
o'clock, but even at that hour these
fish are as frisky as in the daytime,
writes correspondent in the Cardiff
Western Mail. 1 pointed this curious
fact out to friend who is a naturalist.
and he told me that there are several
species of fish, reptiles and Insects
which never sleep during the whole of
their existence. Among fish, he ex-
p.ained, 1t is positively known that
goldfish, salmon ind pike never sleep
at all; also that there are several 9TH

the usual Chinaman expresses only ha-
Situal stoiclsm, this man beamed good
humor and intelligent inquisitiveness.
Unaware that he was the center OF
attraction, he walked up to weighing

That he understood its purpose was
evident, for he reached down into a

pocket and hauled out a nickel, which
he vainly attempted to insert in the
slot. This coin did not fit and he tried
again with a quarter. Still no success.

as he was inserting t1lded bill, the

A woMAN

A reflective woman and estimable housewife
has been brought to a state Of profound and
melancholy meditation by the endless stream Oh
exhortations to thriftiness which she receives
and the advice that would bankrupt her 10
follow. She is far from classifying herself as
chief among the sinners Of wastefulness, YET
she has taken from the mails no less than
seven copies of an emergency food garden COM
mission pamphlet and is constrained to beleVe
that there is an unecOnOmlcal duplcaton OF
effort and dispersion of energies In the depart
ments which are impressing the need and duty
of saving upon her. She lives In an unprenten-
tious home, and in the dim religious gloom by
which she does her part in saving coal, she LOOKS
across the way and sees a mansion blazing
with light and the interior enveloped IN a su1fo-
eating atmosphere of heat. But what perplexes
this excellent and thoughtful woman most IS
the injunction laid upon her to eat mushrooms
at ninety cents a pound instead OF mutton at
forty and to eat ice cream instead OF bacon.
She has done it religiously, though she fnds 1t
leaves much to be desired as a havorlng Tor
baked beans; and she has also done her part
with accomplishing fortitude to make the world
safe for democracy by eating one-inch-long
canned oysters at twenty cents per can which
tasted as though they had been caught IN a
parlor aquarium. She is eager to do her bit
in every way, but she does wonder, sometimes,
in her discouraged hours, if the innunmerable
administrative commissions with nehulous adj
visory powers which no official is bound to fol-
low have ever felt it incumbent on themselves
to begin to practice the thrift they preach.

SOUNDS LIKE A JOKE.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: The income
tax law under which taxes are now
being collected for the year 1911,
contains a clause exempting the
CONDENSATION of all officers IL eni-
ployes of a state or any political sub
division of a state, except when sucn
compensation is paid by the United
States government. This includes
the official salaries received by pubic
school teachers"
In view of the fact that In Iowa at
least there has been complaint, loud
and long and amending, over the en-.
tirely Inadequate compensation OF
teachers, it must appear very much
like a cruel joke to these teachers,
something akin to bitter sarcasm
when they are gravely Informed oy
the United States government that
they are specially exempted from the
payment of this tax. Under the gen
eral rules, which exempts the unmar-
ried person, who has been earning
81. 900 or less, and the married per
son who has been earning $4,000 OF
less, these teachers would have es-
capped the income tax. No doubt,
each and every teacher in Iowa would
be but too glad to pay an income tax
upon a reasonable salary. h spec
ial exemption must appear TO them
like congress were rubbing it In, OF
like a bit of official camouflage.

WHY FRANCE TEACHES GERMAN.

Minneayolis Journal: When the
Milwaukee Turnverein, in its resolu
ton urging the study of German IL
the grade schools. stated that Ger
n,an was being taugfA in the. school,
of France, Notwithstanding the war,
the Journal wired NJ. Lausanne, edi-
tor of LIE Matin, Paris, who Is one
Of the chief members Of the French
high commission to America, for the
facts In the case. The following
reply has been received by wire:
To the Editor of the Journal.
1t is true that the German Ian
guage is still taught in Frances
elementary schools, and in prac-
tically all our schools. An ex-
perience of fifty years has shown
us that Germany was not known
enough among the civilized ma
tons of the world and that 1t
was most important to read and
TO speak German if we want to
unveil the German plots and to
be able to resist the German kul-
tur.
We learn German, not as a
tribute of admiration to Germany,
but in the same spirit in which
an explorer learns the idiom of
the savage tribes where he is
going to carry his explorations.
We learn German just as we have
been obliged to learn to fabricate
suffocating gas-to protect and
defend ourselves and civilization.

From this 1t is plain that German
is taught in the public schools of
France. 1t Is taught In France under
patriotic auspices. however. 1t is
taught to French children by French
teachers. 1t is taught to promote
national defense.

TIME FOR DEEP THOUGHT.

Omaha Bee: Almost eleven months
have passed since the United States
entered the war and we yet lack
the unity Of purpose that must exist
if we are going to win. We talk OF
battling for democracy, but spend
our time principally on other ques-
lions. A witness before a senate
committee last week made the state
ment that ships cannot be built on
patriotism" That is true. perhaps,
but a little more patriotic effort might
be put into the business of building
ships. The young men who are cross
ing the water in those ships are
moved by patriotism. Down in Okla
homa for the third time farmers are
reported to be feeding wheat to hogs,
alleging that they cannot sell their
wheat for enough to buy corn to feed
the hogs. If this statement is true
something radically wrong exists be-
tween Nebraska and Oklahoma and
should Immediately be adjusted.
Again we are told stock raisers r
sacrificing their animals. in dread Of
losing money on them. Whichever
way we look we descry somebody
doing something he should not, be-
cause he is afraid of losing money.
If money We're all that is at stake In
this wal the caution might be justf-
fed, but the stakes are far beyond
money. If the cause of democracy is
defeated all the money in this coun-
try will be of little use to its own
ers. This is a time when Americans
should think a little clearer and d
little deeper than they seem to be
doing

THIS DEvILISH m

February is the most devilish month Of the
year. 1t is the month that stlrs up the clouds
to an angry pitch of billiards and of polar
temperatures that race through the days, as
the defiance of winter of advance agents Of
spring. For there are advance agents seen in
the lengthening days and in the occasional
puff of spring air through the strata OF cold.
Tt falls to February to seek to distract atten-
ton from the shortening of the term of the
grislv monarch. It falls to the month that is
now almost at an end to throw out a big blan-
ket of snow against the sun and to cause the
MONDAY orb to glow with a chill of %forbidding
light. 1t falls to February to cover up the
fields and the fences with the er1nine substance
and then to point to it's work and claim that
the reign of winter shall be unchallenged.
And it really does appear to be the case
sometimes during February. So cold does it
become and so desolate and dreary that one
has to employ the imagination to it's full effect
to realize how a rare day of spring can feel.
And there comes over the spirit the disturbing
thought that perhaps there never will be a
thaw and perhaps winter will WELD the wand
perpetually and the snowbird be the last vocal
list of the air.
This is all part Of the stage play of February,
the grandiloquent, the lusty and louty brag-
CART, the spoiler and the splurger. February
delights in nothing so much as terrorism. Ter
ror is the stock in trade of February. It car
ries with it a full list of the ills that man is
heir to; it carries with it the full outfit of wealth.
er horrors; it carries along with it a calendar
that shortens the month to twenty-eight days
as If in mockery, for the fact is that February
Is the longest of the months in experience.

TODAYs BIT OF VERSE
THE HOUSE,

TIE 7SoSG. .
Here in this house my father lived,
Here ON the corner facing west;
The tall white stoop knew much OF him
And led to all that loved him best.
Once was a garden by the side,
Where we would sit IN sunny May,
To hear him tell of wondrous things
In his gay, quiet, humorous way.
And I recall his brown bright beard,
The slow and graceful strength OF him.
The heavy-lidded eyes OF gray
Yes, even those are not yet dim;
Nor dim the GREATNESS night I crept
Into the shadowy room apart.
To find a shadow lying there
That stopped the beating of my heart
! cannot pass the corner now,
So full it Is of memory;
And Of the garden where we sat
Snug jewel shops make mockery.
And I must wonder II at night.
Between the trinkets, cold az death,
The shadow Of a little boy
Still weeps with stricken breath.
