Last Saturday the "bomb squad of New
York's police force raded two East Side print
ing establishments and seized mailing list of
more than 10000 Names believed to be those
of anarchists throughout the county. Deputy
Police Commissioner Lahey Of New York is
quoted as saying that the list is the most valu-
able piece Of paper that has come into his
hands in many a day. 1t should enable the
the individuals who are are II trT}ng I J to unset the
government and introduce a reign of terror in
the land. Good citizens should report to the
authorities the names of known anarchists or

Oil is the worlds future navigation fuel
For that matter, the present is doing very well
as to ou-bumers at sea. There will be 1871
American ships in our oil-buming merchant
man fleet when the present construction pro-
gram Of the shipping board is completed. All
ready we have 553 oil-burners sailing the seven
seas. Now it is up to Garter county to do her
share in keeping the big fleet afloat and busi-
ness booming The coal strike of course, will
affect even the ol-burning ships, since it will
keep them from getting their cargoes promptly
if the coal supply is cut down materially; but
it is good to know that this country has so many
fine vessels not dependent for their motive
power upon the patriotism of the coal miners.

NEVER MEANT FOR SAILORS
Evidently Turks Need Not Be Feared
as Competitors in the Control
Of the Oceans.

Admiral Sims said at a dinner in
New York:
ITS no wonder that the Turkish
navy failed to do much in the war.
The Turks were never a maritime
people.
"The story goes, in fact, that
when they came to set up a navy in
Turkey they we're very much en-
barrassed by the shortage Of naval
words in their language. They had
no word for mainsail, no word for
fore-top-gallant, no word for poop,
and so on.
''To get over the difficulty, the
Turks tied different articles-vege-
tables and the like-to the different
sails and ropes, and the men learned
their duties to such commands as:

TO ORDERS.

A man was watering the grass
around a public building.
The grass was already drenched
with rain, with more rain coming
down, but the man with the hose
paid no attention. He was watering
the grass.
Government clerks coming along
chuckled and calculated under their
umbrellas, but the man who was on
the job paid no attention. He was
watering the grass.
A passing man was curious enough
to pause and ask why the grass
should be watered on a rainy day.
He got his information.
"The boss said to me the last
thing before he left town yesterday
that the grass was looking fine and
as he wanted to keep it in good con-
dition / better water it a bit this
morning. And Pm doing it accord
ing to orders"
Which seems to show that Casa
blanca wasn't the only member Of

Origin Of Buttons.

The Elizabethan era gave vogue to
the button and buttonhole, two inven-
tons which may be regarded as i'm
portant, since they did much TO revo-
%lutlonlze dress. The original hutton
was wholly a product Of needlework
which was SCOT improved by use Of a
wooden mold. The brass button is
said to have been introduced by a Bir-
mingham merchant In 1889. 1t took
200 years to improve on the method of
sewing the cloth upon the covered
button. Then an ingenious Dane hit
upon the idea Of making the button in
two parts and clamping them together
with the cloth between.
The most important branch Of the
button industry In the United States
Is the making Of pearl buttons, the
material for which Is obtained from
shells gathered along the Mississippi
river, The industry has grown W
within the last twenty years.

TAKES NOTHING FOR GRANTED
Successful Inventor Studies over and
Improves Upon the Ideas Evolved
by Others.

The editor of the Scientific Ameri-
can recently interviewed an inventor
who for some years past has produced
an average of one new device a week.
The mans Ideas are not limited to any
one field, for his inventions include
a propeller Of new design, a dustless
ash SITTER. a novel game, and hun
dreds Of other different devices. His
theory is that inventions are general
ly due either to accident or to care
full study, Many Of the leading In
yentions can be traced to a chance
remark, an accident or a peculiar Incl
dent; indeed. there is a wealth of ro-
nance in the history Of inventions.
But the greatest mental stimulus OF
all is refusing TO admit that the given
thing is perfect. No matter how good
1t is no matter how apparent It's per-
lection seems. or how long it may
have existed in its present %shape--it
can and It must be improved. That
makes for progress. The Scientific
American tells OF another inventor
who refused to consider the violin as
a perfected instrument, despite the
fact that It has not changed its form
In the last 300 years or more. Not
long ago he brought out a new type
of violin that met with instant sue.
cess. Another man believed that shoes
are far from perfect. Why should
they not be ventilated? Physicians
say that lack Of air accounts for most
foot troubles. Why not let the feet
breathe2 The man went to work and
finally perfected a simple shoe venti-
lator. The true inventor takes moth
ing for granted. Perfection, to his
way Of thinking. is only a compare
tive term. His job is to make "per-
feet" things still more perfect

AS ANTlDOTE TO MORPHINE
salt Is Recommended az Cure for
Habits Which When Long In
dulged In Are Fatal.

Salt has been suggested as a cure
for the morphine habit. In the
growth Of the habit the addict grad
ually increases his doses until he
takes a quantity which would be
fatal at an earlier period Of his
career. The immunity is due to the
presence Of an antibody or a%ntitoxin
in the blood.
When later the morphine is with
drawn the antibody remains in the
blood unneutralized, and, according
to the theory that is generally ac-
cepted, it is this antibody that gives
rise to the characteristic symptoms
Of nervousness, leg pains, sweating,
nausea, vomiting, d%iarrhea, etc
These symptoms are relieved when
morphine is administered, Injections
Of salt are said to have given relief
to the patient without any injurious
effects, and in many cases three or
four injections each day have been
administered, Cases have been cured
after ten days or two weeks. The
treatment was described by DR.. G. s.
Bluemel, in the American Medical
journal.

It is evident that the railroad and
warehouse commission knew what it
was doing when it refused the Tri-
State and Northwestern telephone
companies permission to advance their
rates. The commission holds that
neither company has shown need Of an
increase to meet operating expenses,
to prevent impairment Of service or
to overcome inroads made by advance
in wages. Considering that the phone
service has for some time been, and
is, absolutely rotten, the corporations,
if anything, should be compelled to re-
duce rates. The idea of their making
application to advance them is prepos-
ferrous.

Minnesota's Iron Ore Revenue.

There is probability that the
Prince of Wales, heir to the British,
throne, says the London Express, may
marry an American girl. The constitu-
ton and laws Of Great Britain, states
the paper, do not make it necessary
for the prince to marry a woman Of
royal blood. This "royal blood" stuff
is all poppycock. Were microscopic
examination of the blood of the prince
made and compared with that of an
everage American, we wager that the
princes fluid would show much
larger percentage of contamination
than the other fellows.

crowned heads of Europe to permit
