MAN BOWS TO VOLCANO
Seattle ost-Intelligencer.) )


 Under no circumstances does man show to less advantage than when a volcano sends forth its torrents. As figure of speech. man may consider himself to be a puny creature, but his wor.iing opinion of himself is by no means so small. In Java the cath eroaned and 15,000 people were wiped out O. existence like so many ants Perhaps only 1G000 were killed, per haps 20,000 No one will ever know; nc one will ever be concerned in the matter beyond the desire to arrive at a reasonable guess as to the loss CT life. It will always be a vague ques- ion to be discussed in round numbers. The Javanese who perished were in teed pTny creatures, whose memory 1 will be Lothing more than a mathemat- ical approximation.
 As far back as man has a history there are details of volcanic eruptions to testify to the haphazard, unwork- manlike fashion in which this world of ours was made. Pompeii and Hercu- laneum are household words to people who do not know where Nesuvi1s stands, but Stabiae, which was en- Sulfed with them, seems to have es- capeG literary notice. Between Vesu Iius anc Pelee there are few who have any knowledge of the volcanic catas | trcphes that have suddenly over whelmed thousands of human beings Messina still fingers vague in the pub iic mind, and Pelee, by reason of It's comraratively close proximity, can ot recalled, although one must ordinarily consult books of reference to deter mine whether the loss of life was 30, 00( CT 100000. The Krakatoa eruption which took place in 1883 on the Sunda sea, not far from the KaIut explosio i has been studied for years by scien- lists, lut the fact that 30.00O persons
 were killed is an inconsequential de tail. The Krakatoa explosion is not
 remen bered because it caused 30,00i deaths, but because it occasioned some
 auzzling atmospheric phenomena. Sou
 friere, a neighbor of Mount Pelee, ha' 9 lorg record of disaster in which tn, , mortality figures are usually over :! looked The fact that the explosion was heard in South America, whale i was not heard at distances of 20 Mile is considered of much more import ance. Soufriere it may be recalled was in eruption at the same time (. Mount Pelee, but on this occasion , Filled less than 1,500 persons, and per haps for this reason it is never men l tioned
 Before the volcano man stands help less, and he recognizes this fact by hi Indifference. He buries his dead an goes about his business. As in tn case of the Mesisna disaster, he onl waits for the ground to cool, when h goes to work imperturbably raising hi crops on the dangerous mountainsidt in the mean time he tries to gratify hi tastn for information by studying vol canoes but without any hope of bein able to protect himself.

THE REAL THING

Edward G. Lowry in the Saturday
 Evening Post)
 The type of citizen we want to make is homeSteader-sucha man, for ex ample as one out in Oregon who, while we were at war, received a letter From a firm of lawyers in Washington of- fering to recover for him from the gov- ernment s150 which had been overpaid in making an entry on public land. The lawyers offered to take the job and split fifty-fifty with the home steader This is the letter they received il. reply:
 T have yours inclosing contract rela- tive to the claim of my father for the return of $50 overpaid the government upon the entry of public land. As view the condition of this gov ernment at this time it is no time for such items to be taken up and harass- ing the departments You and your partner ought to be trying to do some thing to help the government and your selves.
 T have given personally months of my time, and venture it is worth as much to me as yours and your part ner's is to yourselves, paid all my ex- penses, presented $500 to the Red Cross, purchased several hundred dollars worth of Liberty bonds, and was one ot 9 party that raised s33,O00 for the Red Cross from a population of $500. 'The reason I have been able to do this small amount is directly attributed to the fact that my father got title to 1 the very 160 acres of land that you now seek to have the government pay us back $75 and put $75 in your pocket. q have lived in a very small com- munity, and there is an old saying that men do not get bigger than the community they live in. Washington is a large community, and there are a number of the largest men we have in | the United States reside there during i their term of office, such as the presi- dent and the senators. You have the advantage of growing and becoming very large. But feel bigger than the whole bunch of lawyers sticking around the various departments and trying to suck something out of the ill advised

STRENGTH GIVING
 COMPOUNDS CAUSE
 NEW TIRE C0L0Rs

That it's tires are now made in dark colors is due not to a fad. in style, but to important improvements in the compounds which make up the tire tread, is the statement of MT. Miller of the local United States Tire com pany headquarters.
 After a long period Of experiments tor, the [. s. Rubber company de- veloped a new formula for it's tread compounds, so much tougher and much better wearing, that it was adopted as the standard of manufacture, even though it called for a change from the light color to which the public has been accustomed
 Before the dark tire was placed on the market it was thoroughly tested ! by the testing fleets of the company. These tests demonstrated that the dark compound produced tires of greater mileage than the lighter stock. The dark colored tires have been on the market long enough now to demon strate their superiority.
 Aside from the matter of the quality of the tire, the dark colored tire has i a decided advantage in that it is not l so easily discolored as the light tire l To keep light colored tire presentable required frequent dressing, but the | black tires needs no attention of this 1 sort
 If the dark tire offered no superior points. the light tire would probably be in demand with buyers who regarded ] it with favor, but the unquestionec superiority in toughness and durability of the dark tread make the matter O. color a negligible factor when consid cred in connection with the subject O the real merits of the tire.

 The storage buildings will have space for 5000 unfinished cars and 5000 fin. ished products.
 All of the buildings will be of con- crete, brick and steel They will b. of the Attest firepPoof construction.

Oh, the billboard on the boulevard Behold it blazing there A blasphemy of beauty, A bright, bizarre nightmare! Oh. the billboard on the boulevard High blazoned bargains bears; It bawls of boots and biscuits, And 8 billion brilliant wares.
