KNOWN AS WITCAcHAFT TOWN
Old Salem, Mass, Has Never Been
Able to Live Down the Much.
Dlsllked Name.

Salem Is nationally known as the
witchcraft town OF history, q title
which 1t has been trying to live down
for 200 years. Fortunately for Salem,
the terror Of wltchcraft inquisition is
fading from memory.
Invariably the visitor comes to Sa-
lem with the idea Of witches firmly
fixed In his mind, but the only evidence
Of their existence that he can find Is
a tlepin bearing a tiny witch astrlde q
broomstick. Besides buying witch
adorned souvenirs, which Salem pro-
vides to meet the demands of visitors,
there are other why's of satisfying
witch-huntlng ambitions.
To person already keyed to high
pitch by vague recollectlons of witch
days Salem on frosty moonlight
night seems to slip back century or
so into the solemn superstitious little
Puritan town. where one must think
several times before making the most
casual remark lest 1t be construed as
evidence of friendly dealings with the
devil.
Over by the cemetery the tombstones
Of the witch accusers gleam ghostly In
the moonlight. II seems plausible that
any Of those venerable judges OF 1852
might glide suddenly into view and
stroll with dignity down the street
or that Mistress Sarah Good or Eliza
beth How should appear and ask stern
~ II 1t was your ancestor that labeled
her witch.
Out on Galows hill, too, there is
atmosphere undllutcd. Here 10 un-
fortunates convicted Of witchcraft met

EASY TO SEE ONES BRAIN
Scientist Asserts That All That 10
Necessary 10 a Candle and
Some Perseverance.

'Have you ever seen your brain r
Is not such an outlandish question as
one might suppose. In fact, it is quite
possible to see ones own brain, accord
ing to DR.. Fraser Halle, says London
Tit-Rlts.
Many years ago Purklnge startled
the scientific world by announcing that
by passing candle to and fro several
times by the side of the eye, this might
be done. The air in front, he declared,
was transformed into kind of screen
on which was reflected what he sup
posed to be a magnlfied image Of part
of the retlna.
This started a research movement
among the scientists of the period, and
controversy began.
Sir G. Wheatstone thought the pro-
fessor was slightly out of his bearings.
He declared that what the latter had
seen was merely the shadow Of the
vascular network.
Then DR.. Fraser Halle returned to
the attack, and stated that he had sue
ceeded in identifying the picture with
the representation Of the anterior lobe
of the cerebrum."
The candle should be moved to and
fro about four inches below the eye
and three and a quarter inches from
the face. If the movement is suspend
ed, the image disappears. Night is
the best time for this experiment, but
1t can be seen family. in any dark
place even in the daytime.

Measure Approved by State
Highway Commission Pro-
vides Mill Levy to Raise
$1,S00,0O0.
DEPARTMENT IN CHARGE
Amendment Adopted Removing
Fund From Jurisdiction of
Commissioner Public Works !;
Apportionment Equalized.

The house gave it's Endorsement TO
the good roads mill levy bill which
will raise $1,S00,000 to be spent on
highways. 1t was taken into commit
tee of the whole as a special order
and after the adoption of n number of
amendments, approved by the state
highway department.. was recommend
ed for passage. The amendments
tend to equalize the apportionment of
the moneys raised under the levy. One
of them removes administration of
the fund and highway work from the
jurisdiction of the commissioner of
public works, as originally proposed
by the bill, and gives the state high
way commission control.
A total of 100000 is added to the
measure and $4,000 taken away,
leaving net gain of $4,000 through
the amendments adopted. The APP
portonments for various counties are
raised as follows: I.atah, $4,000 to
$4,000; Boundary, $37, 900 to 10000;
Shoshone. $25.000 to $4,000; Lewis,
$4,000; Lemhi, $4,000 to $4,000;
Jerome, $4,000; Bingham, $4,000 to
$4,000; Bonneville, $4,000 to $4,000;
Fremont, $1,000 to $4,000; Caribou,
$4,000. The apportionment for Bing
ham, Bonneville, Fremont and Jeffer-
son counties, is to be applied to the
Yellowstone National park highway.
CAUSES SPIRITED DEBATE.
The bill caused a spirited debate.
Speaker Kiger took the floor and APP
pealed to the broad mindedness of the
members to stand by the bill and
amendments as drawn by the highway
engineer. He admitted that in the
past politics had played some part
with the handling of highway funds.
He contended that members should lay
aside sectionalsm and look at the
measure from Il statewide standpoint.
Adamson held that it was selfish
ness to attempt to increase items in
the bill in order that certain sections
might be favored. Moody failed in an
attempt to have the enacting clause
stricken out. '
PROVIDES NEW SYSTEM.
Republicans and Democrats finally
got together and overpowered the OPP
position, with the result that the
amendments approved by the highway
commission were adopted. On motion
of Majority Leader Adamson, the bill
was recommended for passage and the
house adopted the recommendation.

IDAHO SOLDIER LISTED IN
"P0RT OF MISSING MEN"
Capital News Special Service,

(Capital News Special Seryice)
Washington, Feb. 26.-The soldiers
of Walter Reed hospital, Washington.
ID. c. are issuing a paper entitled. The
Come Back" devoted to the interests
especially of boys from over there and
those who wanted to go over there.
A feature OF the publication is it's
column called The Port of Missing
Men," This portion of the paper is de-
voted to publicity of names, descrip-
ton of service etc, of men who have
vanished without any trace being left
touching their whereabouts, and al
ready 1T is leading to information con-
corning men who have been lost to
their relatives and friends.
Representative French has listed
with the Port of Missing Men" the
name of Private Ira Archie Hawley,
and has asked that he be notified by
any soldier who may know of this
young man.
Private Hawley has been missing
since May, 1918. Mr.. French found
that he had apparently been trans
ferred from Company C, 162nd infant
ry. to Company b. 2sth infantry. as
late as August, 1918, but no further
record can be found. Company COM
manders. Red Cross organizations, are
all helpless in the matter.
Representative French understands
that there are still many prisoners held
in remote places in Germany, and it Is
possible that Hawley may be among
them.
Private Hawley was a student at the
University of Idaho, was married not
long before the commencement Of the
war; and is a young man of such char
acter and worth as to interest the
people of Moscow tremendously in his
| fate.
