Get Out Of the Rut.

Have you ever stopped to consider
how much like a machine you are be-
coming?
True, your daily duties are perform
ed in way which seems to suit the
boss, but you jog on in the same old
way, day in and day out, with move
ments purely mechanical.
How long do you figure that you can
continue to make good by this course
Ever think Of changing the methods
used by you for the past several
years, and which lifted you out Of the
ranks Of the ordinary at the time you
adopted them, but which are passe at
the present time?
Oh, you are becoming too prosaic.
There is not enough variety in your
life.
Seek outdoor exercise; you need it.
and you should mingle with men OF
up-to-date ideas; you should visit 9TH
er establishments in your line Of work
and see how things are being done
there.
You are in a rut.
Get out before it is too late.

SWIM TEN FEET A SECOND
Interesting Facts Developed In Scien-
tific Study Of Habits
Of Fish.

The speed at which fish can swim
is summarized by the Scientific Amer
lean from recent studies as follows:
"A Belgian authority, G. Denil, while
studying fishways, concluded that sal
mon could swim at speed of 3.15 me-
ters second for at least IA meters.
A Canadian, G. P. Napier, from inves-
legations in the Frazer river, expressed
the opinion that the limiting velocity
of steady stream up which sockeye
salmon could swim a very short dis
tance was between SIX and seven miles
an hour. Finally, 81. Won Bayer Of the
United States bureau of fisheries de-
clared that the velocity Of the current
in fishways should not exceed ten feet
a second. These various figures, ar
rived at independently, are substan-
TALLY in agreement. From his own
studies on fishways n Massachusetts,
Emerson Stringham found that COM
mon species Of alewife could swim for
at least few feet through water flow
ing about ten feet second, about the
limit for fishways."

Japanese VILLAGE.

Few people realize that in the United
States there is a village composed en-
tirely Of japanese. who live their lives
just as they did before leaving the
Flowery Kingdom. This quaint spot
Of interest is north Of the long pier,
a mile from Santa Monica. Here is
the home Of a number Of Japanese
fishermen. Their native dress, food
and the daily routine Of their lives are
carried out as though the little viii
lage were on the far shore Of Nippon.
On Sundays are to be seen the native
sports Of the japanese. The geisha
girls serve tea and bonbons to visit
ors, while t}e young men display their
prowess at wrestling, jiu-jitsu and
other oriental pastimes.

Everyday Courage.

The courage Of the rush forward, a
moment of high purpose born Of a
sudden impulse, that Is one sort. Then
there is the stick-to-it courage, and
that Is Of great value. Still an
other is the simple resolution to do
the obvious right and best thing at the
moment, without demur or timid de-
lay, and that Is the most important
Of all.
The quiet courage Of every day,
that does its best hour BY hour, and
accepts as part Of the days work
the losses and penalties that the
steadfast doing right must often
bring-this is the highest courage Of
all. It wins no medals, 1t is never
lauded as heroism, even its posses
sors seldom think Of it as bravery
or fortitude, yet it is the quality which
keeps the moral world from defeat,
and makes the common life Of the com
mon people strong and safe.

ROLE SHOWS METRO

''The Claim" the Metro ALL
Star Series picture, starring
Edith Storey, which is the screen
attraction at the Nogales Theatre
on Friday July IL gives the talen
ted star much opportunity to
show her wonderfully versatility

AS Belle Jones, the Western
dance-hall girl, Miss Storey, is
cast in the type of role in which
she first endeared herself to the
public as a motion picture star
to the first rank. In horseback
riding, the Metro star can meet

is as fearles as she is expert. AS
the dancehall girl she has to
sing and dance for the entertain
ment of the guests of the rough
frontier hotel. Her singing voice
is very pleasing and she never
lacks a partner at dance.
All of the acting in this yves

the star is called upon to play
many sympathetic scenes. where
in she capably portrays Belle

her child is awakened and leads
to her regaining "The claim

Near the climax of the picture
Miss Storey is called upon to act
in another kind of love scene

ESNMoS ARE HAPPY PEOPLE
In Nature, Humorous and
lnqulst4lve.

In Herschel island, where the sun
shines continuously for eight weeks In
summer, the Eskimos had sun dance,
not always clothed in the garments Of
propriety. They had an idea that when
the sun came back its movements
were directed by an invisible power,
but they had no tangible conception OF
O God. They had no belief in future
life, either Of reward or punishment.
Today they are religious, truthful, kind
to their children and to the aged. They
are ambitious to learn: they are prac-
teal, extremely Industrious. sanitary
in their habits, well clothed and well
housed. Insanity is unknown. but tu-
berculosis is quite common.
They whale in summer and trap In
winter. They are clever in trading,
good workers on land, water and ice,
and take excellent care Of their house
hold effects. Tools, If broken. are
neatly repaired. When at Herschel
island or Fort Mcpherson they eat the
white mans food with great relish. In
summer they eat their fish and blubber
raw and in winter frozen.
The Eskimos have no fear Of death
II told that death is approaching they
will respond with complacent smile.
They are a very happy people. Their
natures are childlike and they do not
continue in the same frame Of mind
for two minutes at time. They are
good-natured and humorous and very
inuuisitive. Their emotions are sud-
den and short-lived-uproariously hap
py one moment and almost crying the
next.

Why u.soat Crews Mutinx.

German newspapers. in referring to
the Anglo-American measures against
! submarines. indicate that the employ
mont of the depth charge has been
greatly increased and perfected since
the American destroyers arrived In
European waters.
In the old days the destroyer was
content to drop two or three depth
charges in the vicinity where the sub
marine was last seen. but now. accord
ing to the German accounts, 1t Is not
unusual. to md the destroyers persist
ing in the business Of dropping depth
bombs until 40 many as forty have
been exploded, thus covering a large
area where the submarine Is likely to
be hiding.
The Germans admit that this IS a
very unpleasant business for the oper-
ators OF the U-boats. Thus the Nord-
deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung contains
the following account OF the expert
ences of U-boat man in the water
patrolled by the American destroyers:
"One Of our submarines shot
heavily laden steamer Of 5000 tons out
Of a convoy. A violent enemy counter
attack followed. The destroyers left
the convoy and followed the submarine,
and in the course Of a few minutes
dropped thirty-ni water pom ot'
around the spot where the boat was
supposed to be Aubmerged. Luckily
they failed to hit her, and our U-boat
escaped unscAfhed. s. :.
The same submarine was previously
