"BiIly Goat Is Ornery
Cuss," Says Physician

Santa Ana.-"The billy goat
is an ornery cuss." This Is the
verdict of DR.. w. G. Dubois,
after an experience that he
doesn't care to repeat.
The physician was making q
professional call in the suburbs,
and inadvertently left the door
of his car open. A billy goat
was eating tin cans and Ber-
muda grass nearby; the auto
seat looked very inviting, and
the goat entered, ensconsing
himself comfortably upon the
cushion.
Having completed his call, the
doctor tried to "shoo" the ami
NAL out, but it refused to be
shooed. A grab at one of its
hind legs resulted in brief en-
counter which was not disas-
trous, but brought the goats
horns into play.
All other means failing, Du-
bois then possessed himself of
long pole and with one mighty
heave pushed the obstinate
thing from out his car. This
done, he had to keep the goat
at the end of the pole until he
could start the car and make
his getaway.

RUSSIA WOULD RECALL OWN
Soviet Ambassador Promises Trans
portation of Citizens from u. s.

tens, selfstyled ambassador of the
Russian soviet government to the
United States has offered to provide
transportation from the United States
to Russia for all Russian citizens who
desire to leave America, or whose
presence in the United States is I'M
desirable to the federal government
This offer was made in a letter writ
ten by Martens to Secretary Of State
Lansing and made public Sunday
night.
In his letter Martens protested
against the "unwarranted and cruel
treatment to which many Russian cit
liens i'll the United States are sub
iected by the federal and state Off
Gals, as we'll as by mobs acting with
out authority" He proposes that the
soviet government be permitted to
return the citizens to soviet Russia
and declares that he has received
thousands of applications from such
citizens who are anxious to return to
their homes.
Martens was arrested for contempt
Saturday and released on $1,000 bail
after he had refused to appear and
bring certain documents before the
Luck legislative committee Investigate
ing radical activities in New York. He
based his refusal on the ground that
all communications passing between
himself and his government were priv
LEGGED. When brought before the COM
mittee in the custody Of deputy sher-
ifs Martens promised to appear be-
fore the committee Monday and bring
his papers with him.
Calling attention to press reports
that 1t is proposed to deport certain
Russians to parts of Russia under
control of the enemies of the soviet
government, Martens in his letter pro-
tests that such deportation would
mean certain death for those deported
and would constitute "a fragrant
breach of all principles of information.

INTERNATIONAL LIVE
STOCK SHOW OPENS

Portland-A big iron key dropped
from the clouds Sunday afternoon and,
turned in the lock by the hand Of Mrs.
Helen Ladd Green, granddaughter Of
William S. Laid, Oregon pioneer, who
brought the first blooded stock into
this state, threw open to the public
for unofficial inspection the splendid
new quarters of the Pacific Interna-
tional Livestock exposition.
The formal dedication of the new
pavilion and the unwilling of memo
rial plates, erected at the exposition
grounds in honor of five of the lead
ing pioneer supporters of the live
stock industry in the northwest, took
place Monday afternoon.
The memorial program for the I'M
yelling of the tablets erected to honor
five pioneer livestock supporters of
the northwest were prefaced by ad-
dresses by Governor Louis F. Hart of
Washington and Governor Olcott of
Oregon. The men in whose honor the
tablets have been erected, together
with the speaker at the unwilling of
each, are as follows: Governor Ernest
Lister, address by Edwin T. Conan,

land; Mike Wisdom, address by N. c.
Maris, Portland; Jack Splawn, A. D.
Dunn, Wapato, Wash; William Sar-
gent Ladd, C. H. Carey, Portland.
The hundreds of animals in their
stalls when the doors were opened
Sunday afternoon presaged success
for the 1919 livestock exposition. This
years event will be by far the largest
of the kind ever held on the Pacific
coast.

Sandwiches Made of
NaSturtiumS and Mint

In some regions of Europe it is the
custom to mix violets, roses and lines
with sweetmeats in order to impart a
floral tincture to the taste of the fruit.
In Turkey sweets are made of carna-
tions. lilies and lavender. Floral sand
wiches are made in Greece and Turkey
with nasturtiums, which grow in pro-
fusion in warm and temperate eli
mates. Sandwiches are also made OF

EDUCATION IS IN ARREARS
For a Generation Children Will Con-
tinue to Study on rs per Cent
Efficiency Basis-Tryins
to Equip Schools.

New York.-Education in northern
France ceased In the autumn of 1914.
1t cannot recommence until Germany
pays the war damages to France, and
France subdivides the indemnity into
the proportions demanded by each de-
partment canton and commune for the
erection and equipment of schools.
AS Germany is only expected to pay
25,0O0,000 francs Immediately and the
rest in twenty years, the most hopeful
outlook for French education is one
quarter of the prewar force and equip
ment within the next two decades.
In the meantime, says the Brooklyn
Eagle, children who ceased to attend
school In 1914 are five years in arrears,
and for a generation will continue to
study on 20 per cent efficiency basis.
The instructor often returns to
ruined village long before there is any
school for him to teach. His own home
is heap of ruins and he has to COM
mence to dig among the debris to find
any buried belongings, and to erect out
of the heap of stones a shelter for
himself. The government is supplying
as fast as possible wooden barracks,
one end of which is sometimes par
titioned for the teacher to live In, the
other end for the scholars to congre-
gate.
Living In DuQouts.
When the government cannot supply
the barracks people of the town have
salvaged the corrugated iron dugouts
left by the Germans called Neissen
huts. These dugouts are like barrel
cut lengthwise and bombproof; also
these iron shelters are sweltering hot
in summer and bitter cold in winter
They were meant to be placed under
ground, not used as surface buildings,
but any shelter in the devastated re-
gion is acceptable, and this salvage
can replace the school buildings.
Inside these improvised schoolhouses
there is nothing. An enterprising
schoolmaster will find planks In the
nearby trenches, and If he can find
nails he will knock together n bench
for his pupils to sit upon. II he can
obtain chalk, he has his class In arith-
metic figure on the rough walls In lieu
of blackboard. If he has sufficient
memory he teaches his pupils what he
remembers Of history and geography.
A survey made in July, 1919, showed
that in 65 Of the villages under the
supervision Of the American commit
tee, % improvised schools had been
opened and four were expected to
open in October. From the 30 villages
still without instructors or school shell
ter, the children must walk from three

THE LIBRARY

Give me the room whose every nook
Is dedicated to a book;
Two windows will suffice for air
And grant the light admission there
One looking to the south, and one
To speed the red, departing sun.
The eastern wall from frieze to plinth
Shall be the poets labyrinth,
Where one may find the lords Of rhyme
From Homer down to Dobson's time;
And on the northern side a space
Shall show an open chimney-place;
Set round with the ancient tiles that tell
Some legend old, and weave a spell
About the f1redog-guarded seat,
Where, musing one may taste the heat;
Above, the mantel should not lack
For curios and bric-a-brac-
Not much, but just enough to light
The room up when the fire Is bright.
The volumes on this wall shall be
All prose and all philosophy.
From Plato down to those who are
The dim reflections of that star;
And these tones all shall serve to show
How much we write-how little know;
For since the problem first was set
No one has ever solved 1t yet
Upon the shelves along the west
The scientific books shall rest;
Beside them history; above
Religion-hope, faith and love;
Lastly, the southern wall should hold
The story-teller. new and old;
Haroun al Raschid, who was truth
And happiness to all my youth,
Shall have the honored place of all
That dwell upon the sunny WALL
And with him there shall stand throng
OF those who help mankind along
More by their fascinating lies
Than all the learning Of the wise.
Such be the library; and take
This motto of Latin make
To grace the door through which pass:
Hic habitat Felicitas!

The throng about me was strangely
silent, until, as the poor old man stag

my arm, a chorus arose about me
one long, voweled word, wholly un-

good. But l noted that all kept a
respectful distance from myself and
the man whom had succored.
Then, pushing his way through the
throng came the Sheikh Said Moham-
med. Saluting the ragged stranger
with a sort of grim respect, he asked
him If he desired entertainment for
the night.
The other shook his head. mumbling,
