To Make Statues of Silver.

Charles E. SWEET has discovered
preparation Of silver which may be
made in a plastic form like wax or
clay, and also thinned down to the con-
sistency of paint, according to the Lit
tie Journal, Cambridge, Mass. Copper,
copper alloys and bronzes may be
worked in the same manner. BY SIM
pie technology the preparation may be
reduced to the pure metal without any
change in its form or shape.
A sculptor may work 1t in the rouno
or in the relief, just as he does his
usual materials, or in dilution 1t may
be applied to a metallic surface with
a brush. 1t greatly simplfies the prob
lem of artistic work of high order,
although, of course, 1t is more eXpen-
sive than stamped ware. Medallions
and figures may thus be presented in
the original without the need of cast
ing. and such articles as silver sets
NAV be made Of which every member
is original and unique. 1t provides a
new medium for artists. The lnven-
ton has been patented.

ALL HUNGRY FOR CHOCOLATE
War Children of France Actually Had
Never Tasted That Delight
, full Confection.

Children born in France since the
beginning Of the war have just made
glorious discovery. They have
tasted chocolate. In q congested
quarter of Paris, writes an Associated
Press correspondent, a line stretching
for more than 100 yards waited a
chance to enter grocery store. Four
policemen were keeping order among
the crowd and women were actually
struggling for place in the line.
"What are they fighting for?" a po-
liceman was asked.
"The store is selling quarter Of
pound of chocolate to each one" re-
sponded the officer. "That is the rea-
son you see so many women bear
ing their children in arms; they are
allowed half a pound then"
The correspondent asked one Of the
women who had with her a fine child
and was stubbornly holding her place
on the slippery, slushy sidewalk,
whether she thought it was worth
while to risk pneumonia in order to
get half a pound Of chocolate.
"You see," she replied, "thls baby
has never yet tasted chocolate"

BoLsHEvIK COURSE OF STUDY
Interesting to Speculate as to Just
What Would Be Appropriate Uni
versity Curriculum.

The former Danish minister to Pc
trograd is authority for the statement
that the bolsheviki have established
a special revolutionary school at Mos
cow under the direction of Professor
Radek, the revolutionary leader,
where agitators from all parts of the
world are receiving instruction and
fitting themselves for missionary
work.
It would be interesting to receive
prospectus of DR.. Radek's university
and an outline of It's course Of study.
Presumably little attention will be
paid to bomb-throwing, the handling
Of explosives, and the like, these being
purely elementary branches One
would look rather for special en-
phasis to be laid upon the Theory
and Art Of Bolshevizing and Ap-
proved Methods of Dealing With the
Bourgeoisie and securing their pos
sessions without using physical force.
Advanced students might take up the
problems, how to collect taxes with
out taking money away from any
body and the counter-revolution and
how to counter 1t.

Wise Doctor.

For weeks she had been alling. At
last the poor husband willing to as
sumo the expense rather than suffer
the suspense summoned the eminent
physician.
The doctor viewed her tongue with
alarm. He slandered the action of her
pulse. He asked all the questions in
the catechism Of medical lore.
"Sir," said the eminent pillist, "your
wife needs change. The poor man
bowed his head in his hands and al
lowed two large tear drops to race to
the tip of his nose and dive off.
"What sort of a change, doctor?"
"Her poor nerves have finally given
way under the strain Of listening to
the same old talking machine records.
Buy her some new ones and We'll soon
have her on her feet" The man
nodded.
Then the great doctor left the un-
happy home, hurried to telephone
and calling up the phonograph place,
told them to be on the look out for O
smallish, brokish looking man with a
pale bald head who would be in in
about one hour and out about SIS.

Heating Rivets Electrically.

With the employment Of women IN
many forms of work heretofore con.
sidered too heavy for them, it has been
necessary to modify the equipment and
form of work in numerous instances.
Such case is the heating Of rlvets by
electricity in charge of women. In
stead Of portable, sooty FORCES oper-
ated by turning heavy crank, there
has been introduced an electrically
heated forge which is clean, simple to
operate, and readily portable. 1t will
heat a standard rivet in 30 seconds

TRANSPARENT Mystery.

An Englishman returned from India
bringing native boy with him as a
servant. The boy knew nothing about
ice, and one winter morning he came
running to his master with a large
piece from bucket in the yard.
"Look. master" he said, what a
large piece Of glass I have found"
His employer said it loked very wet
and jokingly told him to put it on the
back of the stove to dry. He did so,
and presently came running back with
the partly melted ice in his hand.
Master, It's the queerest glass l ever
saw. The more dry it the wetter IT
gets."-Boston Transcript.

FISH WOULDN'T BE FOOLED
Denizens Of the Deep Simply Refused
to Be Oecoyed Into Any Net
Made of Cotton.

Even fish knows that when an out
slider tries to monkey with American
business he makes trouble.
It was decided at Washington by
the powers that you should be coaxed
into a raging fish hunger. Pieces In
the papers were written to make your
mouth water for fish; posters showing
beautifully colored fish, lying in beds
of parsley, and cool, fresh vegetables
were stuck up In your town railroad
station and post Office. BY all the ex-
pert calculations of the propagandists
you were soon shrieking for fish; you
were turned into a man who would
perish If he couldn't have his fish
every day.
"Righto!" they said. "Cotton isn't
as strong as linen. but we'll make our
nets of cotton, with larger threads.
We've got folks hungry for fish and
now we must get the fish,"
So down into the clear waters OF the
Great Lakes and into the cold depths
of the sea on the Pacific coast where
the salmon disport went the cotton
nets in place of the linen nets that
have been used through the centuries
by all fishermen.
It was a secret In war time. as
have said. but can tell it now:
The fish struck. 1t was linen net
or nothing with them. Linen meshes
are almost invisible to fish in wa
ter, perhaps entirely so, Judging by the
number of fish caught in them every
year. But cotton meshes-
"Why a cotton net looks like a
white rail fence TO fish," said an ex-
pert In Herbert Hoovers office In
Washington. "He turns around and
goes right away frova it. it."-Exchange.

Attractive Bait.

"Mr. Dubwaite is the kind of man
who .dislikes to do odd jobs about the

"I'll tell you how you can cure him
of that" said Mrs. Clipping.

CARRIED THEORIES INTO WAR
Famous French Commander Made
Good Use OF Strategic Maneuvers !,
He Had Taught.

Like President Wilson, General Foch
was a college professor before the
war, according to Howard Wheeler,
who tells US in Everybody's that "Foch
taught military strategy, to be sure,
but he was teacher, theorist; and
whom he became commander in
actual war he did not drop his the
ories. He practiced them. Many OF
the leaders under him had been his
students. He called upon them to do
In the field in the face of savage,
clever enemy, what he had asked them
to recite in the academy. One of his
staff, Colonel Requin, told laughingly
one day how some of these other gen.
erals, practical men, were shocked at
orders he took to them from Foch.
ut was a common experience OF
mine,' he said, to take an order to
division commander In the very crisis
of fight, directing him to perform at
once well-studied, typical maneuver.
The troubled, busy general would take
the order, read and reread the clean,
careful writing and then turn to me
and exclaim: Impossible! Why, that
would be hard enough to do in maneu-
vers, but in battle Here? Now?
My God, 1t is impossible !"'
The general, of course, would per-
form the movement, accidentally, un-
der fire. "And," said Colonel Requin,
"when he tried it, it worked out. And
it was those things that won the bat
tie that won the war"

The Crop Situation

Inspection of the grain fields in
this section of the Umatilla wheat
belt reveals a far different status of
growing conditions as compared with
the month Of November last year.
At that period the grain was well
through the ground and growing
rankly, and until the winter freeze
came on and reduced the stand in
the fields sown to red chaff the best
prospect in years was in evidence.
At present but little grain shows
through the ground, and then only in

to narrowing in order to break the
crust so that the plant may push
through.
So far as examination has been
