Mr. Palmer testified that many Of the

German owners In January and Feb
ruary Of last year. before this coun-

made solely TO prevent these properties
from falling into unfrlendly hands. He
said Investigation showed that Ger
mans had given their properties TO
American agents at ridlcul0usly low
figures, with the full expectation that
these properties would be returned 10
then at the end Of the war. In nearly
every instance where properties were
sold In these months, they were dis
posed OF by German citizens, with the
option TO rebuy them In 1920. Mr..
Palmer said that not only was property
sold with such options, but great guam
titles Of goods had been purchased in
this country by Germans, especially
cotton. for use in 1920. He concluded
that this favorite date must be looked
upon by the Germans as the year in
which the war would end.

The Portland Telegram worries be-
cause the Cowlitz river fishermen have
signed an agreement to charge one
cent per pound for smelt and three
middlemen have contracted for the en-
tire output of the river at that price
The Telegram grouches that the mid
dlemen will sell to the wholesaler for
85 cents the 50-pound box of smelt.
The wholesaler will soak the retailer
$1.00 for the same 50-pound box,
groans the Telegram. Then it ends
its conniption fit with-"What the
consumer will have to pay the retailer
remains to be seen." It's dead easy
for the consumer, in this instance. In
the first place, smelt is the poorest fish
that ever swan a stream. second to
sucker or carp. In the second place,
the consumer doesn't have to consume
smelt at the price stated in the Tele-
gram. All the consumer has to do is
to refuse to consume, and the harpoon
is thrown right back into the retailer,
the wholesaler the middlemen and the
Cowlitz fishermen. So why is crouch?

HAITI CLEANS HOUSE.
Changes That Were Brought About BY
tho American Occupation.

Changes That Were Brought About by
tho American Occupation.
Five years ago in Haiti there was on
the whole island not more than one
mile of macadamized roadway, and the
new streets, taking the place Of combi-
nation trails and sewers, are the most
noticeable changes brought about by
the American occupation.
But more remarkable than the streets
is the astonishing sight Of squads OF
Haitians actually cleaning the streets.
Under the old regime the chief occupa-
tons of the male citizens of Haiti were
cockfghting and politics.
The refuse and smells have departed,
and, better STILL most of the children
have disappeared from the streets.
They are actually at school, where by
Haitian law they are supposed to be-,
but where by Haitian lawlessness only
about 10 per cent Of them ever used to
be-.
About 4 o'clock every week day you
will see this newly mobilized infantry
coming home in squads clean and, un-
fortunately for the picturesque value
of Haitian highways and byways, now
thoroughly provided with clothes.-

SPEED IN BASEBALL.
What an lnfield Double Play Means In
Time ard Action.

What an lnfieId Double Play Means In
Time and Action.
Making first base, though more dra-
matte to watch, Is an uneventful ex-
pedition compared with the trip to Sec
ond. 1t takes fast man to negotiate
the journey In 8 3-5 seconds. No thrown
ball goes over 300 feet, and if q batted
ball travels beyond the safe limits Of a
single throw 1t must be relayed by the
fielders. While you are watching the
outfelder scamper after the ball the
relay line is being swiftly formed in
the inield. There could be no such
quick and accurate fielding of deep
outield hits IL the outfielder taking the
ball did not know that behind him was
ranged his line of relays ready to take
the ball the instant he could turn and
throw it.
To make a double play in the infield
the shortstop, for example. must field
a ball that has been batted .bout 135
feet. He passes the ball from ten to
twenty-five feet to the second base
man. who must then throw it ninety
feet to first All this while the batter
is running ninety feet, trick that, as
we have seen, it takes snappy run
ner to turn in 8 3-5 seconds It's a
close call and case of utilizing the
fraction of second, but with sharp
fielding the margin is all on the side
of the fielders. The double play Is the
menace ever threatening the runner on
first.

The daily press is giving consider
able editorial space in denunciation of
the so-called Non Partisan league. 1t
is being attacked from every angle
and by journals of every political stat
us. 1t is being termed everything
from Bolsheviki movement to by
product Of the farmers grange which
has been captured by pro-German pro-
pogandists as medium for espionage.
Right here 1t might be the proper
thing to say that this is not the ac-
cepted time for organizing leagues of
any kind save and except get-together
movements against Prussianism. The
only league that any one should be in
terested in at this time is the one that
is feeding the Allies and our boys in
the European trenches.

Fruit Acids as Mouth cleansers.

Unless the teeth are very badly dam
aged or eroded the acids Of fruit, such
as that contained in grapes, oranges.
lemons or apples, will be found to be a
satisfactory mouth wash The advice
of dentist should be sought, how
ever, to determine the condition of the
teeth and to decide whether an aka
line or acid wash is preferable for the
individual case. But there is no ques.
tion, according to the Popular Science
Monthly, as to the efficacy of the food
acids in removing quickly and entirely
the mucous films that are the first
stages Of dental decay.
An apple eaten in the evening will
cleanse the teeth mechanically and
chemically and If followed by vigorous
brushing will protect them from bac.
terra during the night.
