GHOST STORIES VARY LITTLE
Invariably Only Two Elements at the
Base Of Japanese Tales Of the
Supernatural.

The elements at the base Of the
ghost story of japanese thought are
simple. They are fear and anger, two
emotions not separable. the one imply
Ing the other and forming a single mo-
tive-a fact perhaps true throughout
the rule of the exercise of these two
passions. They deal with men
and women, and are complete novels
OF everyday life. OF the past, there Is
the carefully preserved traditional
treatment, as accurate as the delight
full reproduction Of old-time costumes
and old-time life found In the long
line of artists of the brush, whether In
painting or literature.
But this Is trait of the race, so
eminently given to minute detail in
featuring its environment. It's preju-
dices are fnstanced in the great impor-
lance and strict injunction as to OBJ
servapce and practice of long time Gus
tom, In the ready reference of divers
Ills to old superstitions always upper
most in the popular mind, some wide
ly spread, others severely local. :.
With all the varied detail and confu-
sion of plot, the stories are all cast In
the same rigid lines In general terms
ono read, all have been read. This
can be attributed TO the essential same
ness found throughout japanese social
life. The ghost itself is to be men
toned.
1t Is an unworshiped spirit, or, owing
to some atrocious injury In life, 1t
stays to wander the earth and to Sc
cure vengeance on the living perpetra-
tor. The mind concentrated In its hate
and malice at the last moment of life
secures to the spirit continued and
unhappy sojourn among the living I'M
I'll the vengeance be secured, the
grudge satisfied and the spirit pacified.
There are other unhappy conditions of
this revislting of llfe'ss scenes; as when
the dead mother returns to nurse her
infant, or the dead mistress to console
love. Vengeance satisfies the grudge,
time assuages grief; but the ghost can
err by excess and find no easy pacifica-
ton. The most strenuous efforts of any
but the saintliest OF men are without
success in the redemption. In the
case of Sainen, the reprobate cleric
yet stalks the earth in spite of the
prayers of generations of sinners and
instance of malignant persistence rare
even In the ghostly annals of Nippon.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A FARM"
Census Interpretation of the Word Civ
en- Out by Census Bureau.

Washington, November 3.-What is
a farm? Seems foolish question
to ask, doesn't it? Almost anyone can
tell off-hand just. what a farm is and
knows one when he sees it.
But do you happen to know the in
depreciation Uncle Sam places on the
word farm" for census purposes
No, Their read how his Bureau of
the Census defines the word:
"A farm for census purposes is all
the land which is directly farmed by
one person conducting agricultural
operations, either by his own labor
or with the assistance of members of
his household or hired employees"
In further explanation of this def.
milton the Census Bureau points out
that the term agricultural operations
Is used as a general term referring to

War.Wounded Fish.

The inspector for the British East
ern Sea Fisheries board. in report
says 1.-The fishery officer at Mabethorpe
informs me that of the cod caught on
long lines one In five. and occasionally
more, had had wounds. Some were to-
tally blind, others without an eye, and
the larger number were wounded In
the body.
1.-THE Cromer officer told me that he
and the hshernien on the Norfolk
coast had noticed many Goldfish with
wounds and scars. The Sheringham
officer states that the packers have
come across many injured cod. some
having as many as five wounds. One
bad lost its tail"

give example, If a man owning 100
acres of land rents 40 acres to ten
ant and farms the remaining so acres
himself, his farm is the so acres which
he operates, not the 120 acres which
he owns, while the DO acre tract which
he rents to a tenant comprises separ-
ate farm to be reported in the name
of the tenant
Another question to be determined
is how important does an agricultural
enterprise have to be in order to Sc.
cure recognition in the census as a
farm? A small vegetable garden or
a chicken yard accommodating few
busy hens will not be allowed to quail
fly as a farm" in the census no mat

satisfaction the proprietor may view
his agricultural enterprise.
But IL the garden or chicken yard
expands until it covers not less than
three acres of ground, or Until it re-

How The Courier Will Publish Pictures
of European Events The Next
Day After They Happen

In telegraphing picture from Paris,
queer telegram like this would be
made mechanically by the machine
from the original picture. and it
would be hurriedly telegraphed to a
cable office, from whence it would be
sent by cable to New York City and
wired to all the one centers Of the
Leishman Telegraphed Picture Serv-
ice, which are scattered all over the
United States. so. that all papers re-
ceiving the service are within a few
hours of zone center. Here re-
productions are made and rushed out
for publication. reaching all sub
scribers in time for the next edition
of their papers.
It seems rather unbelievable at
first, but pictures can be received
from Europe much quicker than from
points in the United States. The rea-
son lies in the difference in time.
A picture leaving Paris or London
in the afternoon will reach New
York In the morning and can be tel
egraphed to Portland. the zone center
for the Courier. by noon. 1t takes
only a few hours then for the finish
ed picture to get to us, including the
time required for the receiving appar-
atus to be operated according to the
peculiar photogram to produce the
original likeness again, the time re.
quired for making the cuts. etc. and
for the first train to bring the
telephotograph to the Courier for
our next Issue after the date OF hap.

Buffalo fire department. At the first
fire in which they we're used here
firemen wearing them were overcome
while others without masks were able
to stand the smoke. II was declared
at that time that masks were useless

Fire Chief Murphy refused to ac-

since then. he says. the masks have
been used with signal success.

Murphy said. ''The army mask has

States. The European service, how
ever, will not be established until

1t may be interesting to know how
these pictures will reach us all the

ture is to be sent from Paris. The
photograph is first enlarged to about
four times Its normal size and is then
placed, flat on an apparatus that
translatts every light and shade, ev-
cry line, every necessary detail into
a peculiar telegram that reads like
this:

The arbitrary divisions of five letters
each are not words. They express
no thoughts; have no meaning. In
fact, an expert at the system could
read them all day without having the
slightest idea of the nature of the
picture; he would not even know
whether the photograph was of an
airplane or a beautiful girl.

Plans to more than double the num-

reral board OF vocational education.
Tho Increase will be made at the
fall opening OF schools aud colleges.
Moro than seven thousand men are
now receiving training.
There have been delays In carry
ing out the work OF vocational re-
habilitation." said the boards state
mont, but most OF them have been
dueto causes which were beyond the
control OF the board and which II has
made unceasing effort to remove.
Nearly six months elapsed after
the passage OF the rehabilitation act
before the agents OF the federal
board were admitted to the military
and navy hospitals, This exclusion
was necessary war measure. but

tho "a mouths which elapsed be-
Z tween our entering the war and June

Z discharged and scattered all over
the United Staes without any know
ledge OF their rights under the law.
Altogether, more than year and
a half OF precious time was lost.
Under the terms OF the rehabili-
tation act the federal board could
put no disabled man in training un-
I'll after he was declared compensa-
bic by the war risk insurance, bu-
reau. The amendment curing this
difficulty and allowing prompt ac-
tion by the federal board did not be-
como law until July II. 1919.
The board has made excellent
, progress. for on August /. II had es-
tablished contact with 10000 OF
tho 10000 men registered, had

schools. In 1b9 institutions of col
lege grade and In $50 Industrial and
other plants. They are being train.
ed for 1868 different lines OF ac-
ltivity and, by utilizing existing
means of training other than Great
ing new schools for rehabilitation
the men are being better trained and
millions OF dollars saved to the
United States. Since legislation
giving the board free hand did
not pass until July, when most Of the
schools and colleges closed. the full
measure Of training activity cannot
be reached until the latter part of
September. AT that time the pres
ent number will be much more than
