MOTORS INSTEAD OF DOGS
Zip Over the Cascades In a Gasoline
Sleigh Was a Distinct
Success.

A spectacular trial trip was recently
made across the Cascades In a motor
sleigh, and number Of photographs,
taken at various stages Of the journey,
are reproduced in Popular Mechan-
les. The achievement of the motor
sleigh was almost as amazing as that
of the first army tank, conquering, as
II did. all kinds of obstacles. Swimming
the surface of sn0wfalls, old or new,
the strange little vehicle broke its way
through primeyal passes with never a
stumble. The rescue Of an automobile,
hopelessly stalled in the drifts Of Sno-
qualmie pass, was a mere incident in
its progress. Crossing deep gully on
a pair Of hemlock poles was but one Of
the days adventures. The intended
substitution of the motor sleigh for the
dog drawn sledges Of Alaska's snow
bound post trails means more to the
people Of that great territory than may
be generally realized. Jack London and
Others have limned the malemute as a
romantic figure; but the followers of
the trail know well he Is never that. 1t
Is the elimination of much human hard
ship. as well as canine inefficlency, that
recommends the gasoline method.

Of butterfat.
The average gain a head in pounds
of milk during 1918 over the first year
was 1881, while the average gain a
head in butterfat was SO pounds. The
average gain of 1886 pounds of milk
In 1918 over 1917 represents a total
gain for the association of 415,264
pounds. Figuring this at $2,975 a

After Two Years In France

j. l.. MeAllistcr, who has been in the
18th railway engineering corps in
France since the early part of 1917, re-
turned to Salem this morning and is
hobnobbing with old friends at the
state house. He arrived at Camp Lews
from the east few days ago and was
turned loose within "a hours with an
honorable discharge, east iron ply
siquc-f bult-in-Francc and the con.
seriousness of leaving behind him chain
of modern construction that will keep
the French wide eyed for tho next %
years. The 18th was one Of the first en-
gincering units TO get upon the ground
and were put on the job establishing
bases, docks, transportation depots, and
other triflcs Of that sort, at Marseilles,
Bordeaux and other large ccntcrs as
well as along the Mediterranean. Like
all Americans who saw France with 6
broad perpectiyc, he has found much to
admire in the French character and

eomplacent criticism, which is not 'eriti-
eism at all. We are still going to school
intellectually, and sometimes playing tru-
ant during school hours; we must be
caught and spanked.
George Jean Nathan is the truant
officer of American drama He spanks
us for our theatrical sins, and holds up
for our edification the best standards Of
Europe 1t is not his intention to have
us copy Europeans Though he dearly
loves the sophistication of SehnitZler or
a Molnar, and is overwhelmed to praise an
Avery Hopwood who adapts good French
farces) he uses them merely as a model
of certain sort Of artistic perfection.
The European dramatist is not likely to
be squeamish in the matter Of sex; the
American is-when he is not affecting a
childish disregard of il. Nathan has no
patience with Angio-Ss1on Hypocrisy;
he explodes torpedoes beneath the strue-
ture of our sentimental plays
This Is well. To have at least one
critic who knows the contemporary Euro
pean and the American theatre, and Is
never afraid to call the American to ac-
count for his shortcomings, is good for US.
Every American of culture who realizes
that he is highly esteemed at home finds
himself in Europe face TO face with
many of his own class who equal or out
strip him; there he must needs do his best
as a competitor; here he must defend him
self for knowing as much as he does.
Nathan, then, is our devils advocate;
he is the ambassador from the European
theatre, but different from all ambas-
sailors in that he not only may, but does,
tell the truth as be sees it.
Comedians Al is up to the standard Of
the other Nathan books, and that is saying
a good deal. The best bit in the volume,
10 my mind, is the passage entitled The
End of Perfect Dane. It relates the
story of The Riddle: Woman, announced
and advertised as a Danish play by &c.
jacob" As a matter of fact, it was
written some years ago by the Hungarian
dramatist Rudolf Jakobi. Not a single
critic even suspected that the play was
not Danish, and most of them gave de-
tailed accounts of the Danish atmos-
phere, &c.
The worst Of it is not that the critics
were deceived as to the derivation of the
piece, but that they insisted upon the
essentially Scandinavian nature of it.
And Nathan enjoyed the joke immensely.
1t is a good joke, and moreover it ought
to instil good lesson. The article closes
with the words:
"It therefore grieves me sorely to re,
port that Mr.. C. jacob is approximately
as Danish as Chauncey Olcott-"
Nathan is of course prejudiced. He
has often said in effect that be doesn't
give hang for critic who Is not. Quite
right-provided you know the critics

~ of Mr.. Nathan's collected dramatic
criticism. If you know his Another Book

Presents, and The Popular Theatre, you
need no introduction to the latest addition

The author calls Comedians All "a book

cisely what it is not-as Nathan himself
is fond of saying, whereas the exact OPP
posite is the case" Nathan is one Of the
very few critics in this country who
know what they are driving at, and he
drives mercilessly, logically, unfalteringly.
He is what many people call destrue-
tive critic, which usually means that he
tells unpleasant truths. He is the arch
enemy of the arch enemy, not only Of our
native drama, but of all our literature:

Good Dope, and
aGood Detective

THE death Of conspicuous Amer
i lean musical comedy actress, which
occurred in London last year from an
overdose of cocaine, appears TO have been
the foundation for Sax Rohmer's novel
devoted to London's best "dope" circles.
To this reviewer, who shamelessly con-
fesses to having followed with lively in
terest the inquest over the actress, the
London 7imes's stenographie reports of
the eoroner's investigation were much
more thrilling and realistic than are Mr..
Rohmer's in his novel which he calls Dope.
But it is the novelist's privilege to EN-
brolder his main pattern all he pieases
and this the author of the Flu Mqnchu
stories has done by having one of his
drug addicts murdered in the fifth chap
ter. AS it happened in Old Bond street
the police had to be called in. And thus
we are introduced to Chief Inspector
Kerry of New Scotland Yard
Kerry is unquestionably the real thing
in the way of u story book detective. He
has the cold nerve, the force, the bercu-
lean strength and the nimble wits with
which fancy likes 10 endow such an Off
cial, who seldom possesses them in real
life. And in this particular chain of cir
eumstances Kerry has his work cut ont
for him, since in addition to the murder
of Sir Lucian Pyne, Mrs. Monte Irvir.
has disappeared from the dream parior'
of HANNAH, as has that fakir and drug
seller himself. Moreover, Kerry finds
that the Home Office, galvanized into life
by the scandalous prevalence of the drug
habit in London, has grown suspicious of
police connivanee with the controllers of
the drug traffic and has set special IN
yestigator on the job of finding proof of
the crookedness. This special investi-
gator, Seton by name, is highly interest
ing person, too, and gives Kerry run
for his money until Kerry knocks hin. out,
aud they begin working together.
The trailing of the drug sellers leads
Kerry and Seton into the Limehouse
opium joint of Mrs. Sin and her husband,
Sin Sin Wa, the origin Of these worthless
being obviously based on the similar per
sonages who figured in the Billee Carrie
ton case. There the two detectives meet
q decided check and it is not until Kerry
tries the experiment of using Mrs. Twins
pet dog as an aid that the missing woman
is found in an underground den. A
happy epilogue gives Seton an opportu-
nifty to tell the chain of events leading up
TO Sir Lucian's murder and to picture
Mrs. Irwin as cured of her numerous drug
habits.
This is a genuine detective story" and,
as the London cockneys say, we could
do with" another instalment of Inspector
Kerrys adventures at once. w. B. McC.

see no place for Brander Matthews and

Date. Z.

A hard rain yesterday afternoon
shortly before two o'clock continued
until $3.50 p. M. and made it impos-
sible to play any of the games sched-
uled by the county teams.
The Bauers team came all the way
from Wheeling to play the Consum-

but rain interefered AID it was i'm
possible to play. Idamay was sched-
uled to play the Monongah Glass team
of the City league. And the Montana
team was scheduled to go to Carolina
to play the baseball team at that
town. 1t was necessary to postpone
all these games as we'll as the game at
Warrington between Warrington and
the Four States Coal company team
from Annabelle.
1t is very probable that the man
agement of the various teams will get
together and arrange some later date
to play the games scheduled for yes
terday. Some fine games were book
ed and it is hoped that 1t will not be
necessary to cancel them entirely.

LATE DEVELOPMENTS IN THE LOCAL SPORT VORl
What One Packer
Did During War

Some OF the great accomplishments
OF American business during the war
are Just beginning to creep to the sur.
face now that the ban OF censorship
has been removed. The preparation
and handling OF meat food products
was, OF course, one of the great neces-
sary industries. and II was fortunate
for the country, that the packing IN.
dustry was already mobilized for SER
vice long before the Lusitanla was
sunk.
1 The manner in which the packers
met the emergencies which arose dur. !.
ing the war is well illustrated In the
case Of Swift & Company who IN one
week filled government order for
100000 pounds of meat aud fat.
This necessitated the dressing of 49,
! 600 cattle and 100000 hogs, and re-
quired 1000 freight cars to transport.
Another instance Is found in an or
der which was received one Saturday
i afternoon at five o'clock for .2,000,o0U
pounds OF special cut Of dry salt
meats. The war department wanted
/ this shipment of 43 cars boxed and on
the way by the following Tuesday
! noon-less than 70 hours distant.
Swift & Company had the last car
loaded and rolling an hour before noon
on Tuesday.
In still another case the govern.
ment could get no one to put up fresh
butter in tins for overseas shipment.
Swift & Company accepted an order
for 100000 pounds on May 4th, 1918.
1t was necessary to equip three cream.
cries with machinery and supplies,
and to organize the help to do work
entirely new to them, but the first csa
was rolling eastward in 80 days and q
month later the entire order was COM
pleted.
The tremendous total of $3.50 ZOO oOc
worth of supplies was furnished by
Swift G Company alone 10 the Ameri-
can and Allied governments during the
war. The peak was reached in De
cember. 1918. when the goods furnish
ed totaled $S5,oOoOos in this one
month.
