Good Eddie Collins Story

Thomas was coaching the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania hopefuIs.
Collins was cavortinE around
second base in great style when
n young sophomore, who posed ~

see him.
Full of importance and know

didn't recognize Eddie.

"Who are yOu."
"My name f. Collins" was the
answer.
"Weu. you haven't any chance
Of making the team this year."

Strange Superstition.

This superstition is not peculiar to Hill
dreth alone. John E. Madden and many
other noted horsemen share it to some
extent but none Is SO convinced about the
matter as Hildreth. This veteran trainer
can point to SO many instances where
misfortune followed the breaking Of the
rule against photographing his horses that
he hardly can be blamed for his peculiar
belief.
Once after much pleading Hildreth
was induced to let the great McChesney
pose for a picture. At that time Nc
Chesney was being pointed for the rich
American Derby. He was hot favorite
for the race, which appeared to be at
his mercy, but the very next day he ran
over a horse on the backstretch and was
thrown into the fence. He struck a post
so hard that it snapped off short. The
colt lay on the track totally out and it
looked as though he would not revive
He finally recovered. but it was not un-
til many months afterward that he was
able to race again.
On another occasion Hildreth allowed

CAN'T GET ALONG TOGETHER
Women Won't Work for Women When

ferring Men Bosses.

A "mere man." writing in Woman's
Home Companion, makes this COM
ment on women in business.
Another reason l have noted why
women don't appropriate the big Jobs
Is that most members of their own
sex--to say nothing of the members
OF ours--would rather work for man
than q woman. The most successful
woman l know is the head Of a big
department in very big business. She
knows that her feminine instinct is
worth thousands to that business. Yet
she Is glad that the president Of the
business Is a man; she wouldn't take
the presidents job if she could get it !:
and no matter how much she believes
In her own instinct, she recognizes
that there is an element of Judgment
In the man that, working with her in
stlnct, produces perfect combination.

BEES FOR WAR MESSENGERS
Their Employment Is Said to Have
Gone Far Beyond the Range
of Probability

A secret long cherished in the Brit.
1sh war department has just been dis.
covered-the use of bees as messen.
gers.
No longer will the aide de camp
spur his staggering horse through shot
and shell to carry the message to the
front. Instead he will don his gloves
and mask, and, going to the portable
beehive back Of headquarters, seize
one of the faithful little insects, and
send the well-trained messenger
through the air.
whoever possesses receiving outfit
can read the secrets of the wireless :
one can cut the wires of the ordinary
telegraph, and the pigeon does not al
ways escape the bullet.
Therefore, other means have been
sought. In America, the general staff
dreams Of using as dispatch bearer
the bee.
The bee, like the carrier pigeon,
guided by It's marvellous instinct, re.
turns to the hive from wherever he
may be liberated. Tiny dispatches,
which can be deciphered with the mag
nifying glass, can be attached to its
breast.
But something better still has been
found. By an Ingenious process the
wings of the tiny insect are sensitized,
and by means of microscopic photog.
raphy the message is imprinted there
on.

THE INDIVIDUAL SUGAR
ALLOWANCE CUT THIRD

The new sugar order announced
few days ago by the food administra-
tion from Washington was received by
wire bv DR.. W. D. McNary, county
administrator, from W. B. Aver, state
administrator, says the East Oregon
ian. The new order cuts the individ.
ual monthly sugar allowance from
three pounds to two pounds. The or
der goes into effect at once, and there
will be no exceptions in enforcing it.
The order will have the effect of re-
ducing the amount of sugar which re-
tailers, hotels and restaurants can Sc
cure for August, by one-third of the
allotment previously fixed. 1t will
have no effect upon the bakers allow.
ance inasmuch as the bakers had pre-
Viously been cut down to seventy per
cent of the sugar used year ago.
The state administration instructs
the local administration that retailers
may replace suga- sold for domestic
canning by securing special certificates
from the local officials. The new order
also requires that the local admins
tration shall keep q daily record of all
sugar certificates issued, such records
to be sent in at the end of each week
at Portland.

A FEDERAL TAX LEVY
HITS At ALL LUXUR|ES

A 10 per cent tax on gross sales of
manufacturers. producers and import
ers of automobiles piano-players. graph
ophones, sporting goods, cosmetics.
patent medicines. cameras and similar
articles. was tentatively agreed upon
by the House ways and means commit
tee.
The present excise tax on most of
these articles ranges around per
cent. Motor trucks will be taxed on
ly half the increased rate, on the
ground that they are for BUSINESS pur-
poses. Some of the committee voted
against the motor-truck tax and the
committee finally compromised on S
per cent on gross sales on original
transactions. There was no effort to
put tax on gasoline. The Treasury
Department has recommended doub-
ling the present rates on tobacco.
The committee wants more revenue
than this would yield and will decide
the increases later. Data laid before
the committee showed that eonsump-
tion of cigars in this country is de-
creasing while cigarette consumption
is mounting rapidly.

EMERY DUST FOUND IN
WALTER TARESHING MACHINE

AS the result of finding emery dust
in the bearings of his threshing ma,
chine, John Walter and the local pa
trolmen of the Oregon Military police
have had Charles Muir apprehended at
Pendleton, where charges against him
will be investigated today. Muir had
been holding the position of separator
tender for Walter during the present
harvest, and according to the latter,
has been the cause of considerable
friction among other members of the
crew.
Muir was discharged yesterday
and left for Pendletun. Later, yes
terday evening, emery is alleged to
have been found in the bearings of the
machine, and suspicion pointed to
Muir as the one having put it there.
A member of the Oregon Military
police has been working with the crew
and if he has knowledge of anything
wrong he will probably divulge it at
the hearing of Muir's case at Pendle-
ton today, Walters machine has
been harvesting the E. A. Dudley crop.
