KNEW WHAT STONE WAS FOR
New York Policeman Recognized Prep
aratIon for Robbery, If the
Visitor Did Not.

A stranger in New York was walk
ing along Broadway in the Thirties
and was on the point of asking po-
liceman the way to hotel when the
policeman suddenly swerved from
the middle of the sidewalk to the
building line, picked up a large
stone wrapped in paper, took it to
the curb and threw it into one of the
many excavations along the thor
oughfare.
The visitor was surprised that the
members of the police force went so
far to help make New York a "Spot-
less Town." but did net mention his
surprise when he asked for and re-
ceived the information he wanted.
The next day he commented on the
incident in the hotel and the house
detective, who was near by, gave this
explanation:
"That stone was probably laid
there by window thief, who would
time himself to saunter by as a sur
face car ratified along or some other
unusual noise was imminent, so that
the window could be smashed with
less likelihood of being heard and
the culprit would make a quick get
away after looting the window"

BOYS WANT READING MATTER.

A woman who is familiar with
camp conditions and the wants of
the soldiers, writes to the Woman's
Home Companion of the hunger of
the boys for books, and says: "Some
of you think a book or a magazine
is hardly worth giving. Every single
piece of reading matter received in
camp is worth while. 1t helps some
soldier forget the discomforts inev-
liable to camp life. 1t urges another
man who never cared about read
ing to try it. 1t helps a third to
think cleaner thoughts. 1t helps
your government to build up an
army of high ideals" She adds:
of you have neither library nor
Y. NJ. G. A. building in your
town, send your book to the public
library in the city nearest you, mark
ing it simply, For Military Camp
Library The librarian will do the
rest"

THE EMeATTLEp FARMER-tets.


You remember the picture-grand-
father, father and son, with the glo-
rlous flag of their country floating
above them, and fife and drum an
nouncing their determination to keep
that country safe for the generations
to come after.
It is not for nothing that that pie
ture has been preserved in many
American homes. The same spirit ami
mates America today, the embattled
farmer, still is willing and anxious to
do his part,
The general idea of the farmer Is
that he is not fighting mau. That
conception of him Is correct He Is
not. He has chosen the paths of
peace But because he has he Is able
to comprehend better than many 9TH
ers the truth Of the saying that the
present war is war to insure peace.
To this end the boys from the
farms have gone to the trenches 1t
Is because they maintain the ideal Of
the farmer embattled In sacred
cause that the names Of these boys are
blazoned forth on every liSt of the
heroes that America has given to the
service of righteousness.
But 1t Is not sufficient that their
breasts should be decorated With
medals. They need the best OF food,
clothing and other equipment and the
full care and protection that America
gives them.
This costs money-money In large
sums. But the farmers who supplied
them have shown In previous Liberty
Loans that they can and viii furnish
the money.
A Fourth Liberty Loan will be float
ed by the Government within n few
weeks. let us all prepare at once.
Let every agency used on previous oc-
casions get ready today to go over the
top for the succor and support Of the
Armer boys who fight.

GETS GAS FROM WASTE WOOD
Chemist at University Of Oregon
Claims to Have Made Most I'M
portant Discovery.

Prof. Grin F. Stafford, a Univer-
sity of Kansas graduate, who is now
at the head of the department of
chemistry at the University of Ore
gon, has discovered way in which
waste wood may be utilized and gas
made from it.
Because of the scarcity of coal
Professor Stafford believed if wood
could be substituted so as to produce
gas it should be made to do SO. His
experiments show how it can be
done.
The test by Professor Stafford
shows that eight cubic feet of gas
of heating value equal to 480 Brit
ish thermal units a cubic foot may
be obtained from one cubic foot of
dry frewood. The cost of generat-
ing the gas is very low after the ap-
paratus has been installed. 1t is
hoped his experiments may solve the
fuel problems of the whole North
west.

PUT UP JOB ON PROFESSOR
Little Trick Goes to Show That School
boys Are Much the Same All
the World Over.

The crown prince of Japan is be-
ing educated in what is known as
the peers school at Tokyo. The
other day he broke a pane Of glass
in one of the classrooms.
Not wishing to pay for it out Of
his modest allowance of pocket
money, the youthful scholar re-
paired the damage by FASTING a sheet
of stiff paper over the aperture.
When, however, the professor
whose room it was, next entered il
he thrust his cane through the make
shift and, turning to the assembled
class, remarked sententiously, ole
that breaks pays"
The heir to the japanese imperial
throne declined to take the hint, and
next morning another sheet of paper
appeared with the same fate, and SO
on the next day, and so on the
fourth.
On the fifth day when the profess
sor came down there was the paper
as before. Fire flashed from his
eyes, and roaring, "He that breaks
paysp he drove his cane through the
paper-and through the pane of
glass behind it that had been put in
by the crown prince, with the help
of other students, and then artfully
pasted over with paperl

among big-game hunters that the
blue glacier bear of Alaska if OF a
distinct species, Al Hasselborg, who,
with DR.. Harry s. Worth, curator OF
mammals at the University of Cali

these animals, asserts that the great,

no more than a color phase Of the

borg, who has been studying Alaskan
bear for nearly twenty years, is re-
garded as one of the best-posted men

By wearing the suit it will be pos

the upper part of the body, is lined
with fiber, which makes it buoyant.
The soles of the shoes are lined with
lead, which keep the feet down and
maintain the body in an upright po-

The suit is easily donned, and,
after few minutes practice, can be

can be used to hold sustenance or

with wings at its base. The top Of the
shell contains a box destined to in

! WEARING ON SAILORS NERVES

More comfortable than bowling

man Whitaker in the New York In
dependent. Imagine half dozen de-
stroyers guarding 30-vessel con-,

around them before they can scat

cropping of a blind navigator over
blind seas.
Not commander in our fleet but

mares in such weather to last him
the rest of his life. Not a sailor
that cannot relate hair-raising expe-
riences as this:
"Out of the thick pea-soup fog a
huge black freighter suddenly rose
on our bows. AS we swung on our
heel with one screw reversed de-
stroyer came shooting at us from the
opposite quarter. Avoiding her, we
almost ran down another steamer.

They have not always escaped,

Nevertheless their dangers, in sum-
ming up our fleets work, have to be
added to storm and tempest, mine
