Honor Guard Served
Public During Fourth

One of the most popular places in
the city last week during the cele-
Lration was the rest room provided
by the Honor Guard in the Camps
Luilding under the management of
Misses Florence Allen and Helen
Moore. This proved a Godsend to
many weary mothers and sleepy chill
Gren who found this cozy resort a
delightful place to rest and refresh.
The Honor Guard also had a fine
lunch booth at the round table in
the park under the management of
Miss Marion Hodgson, where appetiz-
ing sandwiches and tea were dispens-
eG. A fortune teller was also pres
ent and read the future from the tea
leaves of those participating.

Electrons and Atoi11-.

Atoms are minute particles of mat.
ter, each about ne-three-hundredth
part of an inch in diameter. They are
so small that If the earth were made
up of baseballs ii would be n fair
model of drop of water made up of
atoms. The electron is smaller still. 1t
has diameter Of about one.hundred-
thousandth that Of an atom, so that If
an atom were represented by a sphere
100 yards in diameter the electron
would be about the size of pins
head. II has been said that the elec.
irons which form an atom can be com.
pared to swarm of gnats in a cathe-
dral or other large building. As atoms
are made up of electrons, so molecules
are made up Of atoms.

Leonardo da Vinci Amaze surreons.

Though written four hundred years
ago, Leonardo da Vinci's book on anat-
omy has only recently been published,
and surgeons are only now discovering
the marvels it contains.
Lecturlng recently on II in London,
Prof. William Wright pointed out that
when 1t was written the circulation of
the blood, Osmosis, oxygen and the
microscope were all unknown. All doc
tors believed that the arteries were
full of free air and that the blood was
aerated in the heart. The interior ar
rangement of the heart was also mis-
understood.
But Leonardo denied that air entered
the heart, and wrote that the blood
was "refreshed' in the lungs he de-
scribed accurately the anatomy Of the
heart and large blood vessels and the
action Of the muscles of the chest and
abdomen in respiration.

Fires Menace The
Forests Of State

The smoky atmosphere prevailing
IN this section, together with reports
from all over the state, indicate con-
olusively Oregon's danger from fires
unless persistent vigilance is main
tanned. In some sections in the north
traffic on the main highways has
been blocked by forest fires, where
the thick forestry and parched con-
dition of the country renders a small
fire into an agent of devastation.
reports received by the Southern
Iacific company Saturday are to the
effect that, although the forests of
Douglas fir on the Hammond Lumber
company's tracts in the vicinity of
Cochran, Enright, Scofield and BuX-
ton are still burning, the further
spread of the flames is not probable
unless a gale should develop.
About 800 soldiers of the spruce
production division of the U. S. army
are still at work on the Tillamook
line and two trains are being utilized
to move them to danger points as
the occasion demands. AS far as the
railroad company is concerned all
immediate danger has passed, al
though the depot at Schofield had 4
close call and it was at one time de-
Cided to abandon the structure.
As a protracted dry summer is in
dicated the United States district for
ester's office wishes to emphasize
that to prevent forest fires congress
passed a law approved May ), 1910,
which forbids setting fire to the
woods and forbids leaving any fires

HAS WON RESPECT OF ALL
British Working Man, making Good"
as Soldier, Will Never Again Be
Butt Of testers.

What the poor citizen wants is not
charity, or even sympathy, still less
regulation; 1t is respect, which is the
social soil Of self-respect. That is why
he is sometimes happier as soldier,
in spite of all the sickening horrors Of
soldering; because humanity always
has respected, and always will respect,
q soldier.
Thus, Gilbert X. Chesterton, writ
ing in the. Illustrated London News,
sums up an argument which, among
its premises, contains the following:
after all, it will be well to remem-
Der that nearly every battalion Is a
labor battalion. The commOnest type
in the trenches, the object of such
wide and well-deserved praise in the
press and the public speeches, is, after
all, identical with another type-a
common object Of the streets and the
comic papers. The British soldier Is
generally our old friend the British
working man.
"He has lived by trades that are
too often treated as merely grimy or
grOtesque; and in the case Of new and
almost crude cOnscript armies, like
those we have lately raised, he has gen.
orally quite recently dropped those
tools and left those trades. 1t is the
Plumber, who is charged with potter
ing about for days before he stops
small leak in pipe, who has often in
a few minutes stopped with his body
the breach in the last dyke Of civilian
tiOn, lest it should let in a sea of saw
agery; and there may even be fewer
jokes about his soldering, now they
can be answered by pun about his
soldering. 1t is the cabman, who was
supposed to grumble unduly at very
different sort of fare, and especially ut
ut the sort we call warfare"
