KNEW AND LOVED STEVENSON
Old Resident of TAHITI Proud of His
Association With the Famous
Romanticist.

In the town of Pspeete, on the is
land of Tahiti, lives an old man named
Donat, former comrade of Robert
Louis Stevenson when the famous ro-
manifest was journeytng through the
South, Sea islands. Donat loves to
tell of the days when the writer used
to rest in his home and listen to the
weird ghost tales which the old man
told and which Stevenson wove into
some of his stories.
Their friendship began when the
writer rented a house to rest in after
a trip through the Marquesas is
lands. On Donat's grounds were the
only vegetable gardens in the is
land, the formation of which was
mostly coral, sand and rubble. Each
morning the ojd man would send to
Stevenson'S honse a great basket of
fresh vegetables, fruit and coconuts,
and later when the author came to
thank Donat for the gift the two would
sit in the shade and talk for hours.
Nothing delights Donat more than
to talk of his gentle friend and the
days when they were together. He
gives an intimate picture of Steven
sons simpde life on the island, of his
rambles OH the beach among the coco
nut groves, of his friendly associations
with the natives. When Stevenson left
the island ne invited Donat aboard his
ship for dinner and presented him
valuable ring as souvenir of their
friendship. '.He was a good man, a
great gentleman" is Donat's tribute.

Use for Unneeded Explosives.

Prof. de Quervain, the wel-known
Swiss seismologist, has made a sug-
gestion. which deserves the very care
full attention of our military authori-
ties and of scientific men in this coun-
try. There are at present large stocks
of high explosives in every country
which cannot be preserved and must
be denitrated or exploded. He sug-
gests that so tons should be exploded
at definite times and under various
atmospheric conditions and that OBJ
servers in all the surrounding area
should be requested to listen for the
sound. Such tests could not fail, says
Nature, to throw far more light than
accidental unprepared explosions on
the many problems presented by the
transmission Of sound-waves by the
atmosphere.

Postage Then and Now.

Persons who thought the raise in
the price Of letter postage from two
to three cents ''big jump" at the
time of our entrance into the war,
should consider the colonial and early
government rates of postage. On March
8. just Y years ago, the United States
issued its first postage stamps, just
seven years after England had adopt
ed them.
These first American stamps were of
the and 10 cent denominations, and
naturally enough bore the likeness Of
Washington and Franklin. Previous to
this time postage was paid in cash,
usually by the receiver of the letter.
The earliest rates were from s to 25
cents.

Many Raise Peppermint.

Peppermint probably occupies one
of the most honorable places on the
list Of drug plants, for the distillation
of oil from its leaves is an important
indusry to which thousands of acres
are devoted, principally in Michigan
and New York. Their oils are extract
ed also from wintergreen, pennyroyal
tansy and a number of other we'll
known plants. To be salable the leaves
must be dried in place where there is
plenty of air but no dampness, and
in the shade, for this keeps the bright
color. They must be looked over with
care thai no other leaves are mixed
with them and packed in boxes Oh
barrels tt be shipped. Bulletins on
this subject may be obtained from
the superintendent Of documents,
Washington, D. c., at a cost of 15 cents
apiece. Uncle Sam warns us that
there are risKs in these crops as well
as in others. but all enterprises are
risks in this uncertain world.

HEARD THE YANKS WHISTLE
in Verdun on Armistice Night 1t Was
the Only Sign of Peace Cor
respondent Found.

We rolled into Verdun long after
dark, on the day of the armiStice, and
found no celebration there, Williams
Slavens McNutt writes in Golfers
Weekly. There were no shells falling
in the town, but otherwise the mar
tyred city was as we had known it
during the war. No lights showed.
The narrow streets were filed with
the rustling sound of many soldiers
passing in the dark, talking in low
tones.
And yet there was something strange
about Verdun, something different,
some change that forced itself upon
my attention, and yet one which /
could not determine. An American
soldier stopped near the car to light
cigarette. He had been whistling
"Annie Laurie" and after long Whit
went on whistling. And then l knew
what made me feel different in Yer
dun that night.
Everywhere, all over the city, Amer
leans were whistling! They were whis-
Ting casually, unconsciously, one this
tune and one that. But they were
whistling! One could pick out the
Americans in the dark all over the
city, because where there was an
American one heard the shrilling OF
some old American tune or newer rag.
The French don't whistle casually on
the street at any tune, and never be-
fore had thp American panprallv DraC-
dced his habit in Verdun. And that
night going about their various tasks
in the dark old city, the Americans
were whistling.
Hearing that CHEEKY, familiar sound,
my mind for the first time really took
hold on the end of the great war as an
understandable fact.

END OF WAR NOT
 KNOWN AT FORT

Edfonton, Alberta, Jan. s1-There will be no premature peace ceiebra- tion at Fort McPherson, Canada, seventy miles south of the Arctic Ocean. for Fort McPherson will not know that the war is over until Jan uary 26 or thereabouts.
 The news will reach this trading post in the semi-annuaI arctic mail which left Fort McMurray, proposed terminal of the Alberta & Great Waterways railway by dog team on December l. The news is included in 250 pounds Of mail carried by two sledges, pulled by ten dogs each and driven by veteran "mushers''
 The distance is 1,500 miles as the crow flies, but considerably longer over the frozen Atha basca and Mac kenzie rivers.
 The hardened drivers will rest q week at Fort McPherson, then begin the long trek back to civilization. The territory traversed includes the great barrens deep under snow that begins falling in September. The baErens are known for bliZzards which sweep from the frozen sea across unob- structed leagues of snowcovered and uninhabited wilderness.

POULTRY RULING
 OFF FOR SEASON

In response to numerous inquiries concerning the operation of the rule, which prohibited the sale of laying hens or bullets during the Spring of 1918, Federal Food Administrator Robert Scoville announces that this rule will not be operative during the egg laying season in 1919. This rule was designed to prevent the excessive slaughter of poultry at a time when nocks were being dangerously re- duced on account of the high cost of feed and labor and at a time when the country needed all the eggs that could possibly be produced. In ad- Gition the measure was a protection for the poultry industry which was seriously threatened by the great re- suction of breeding stock;
 The situation was particularly hard on fbe specialized poultry farmers, many of whom, if they were not al together forced out, cut their flocks in half. These specialized farms, however, produced only about } per cent. of the eggs of the country. On the general utility farms, which pre- GUce 95 per cent. of the eggs and where the cost of poultry food and labor are comparatively small items, the production was greatly increased the net result being that the total egs production of the country was in- creased about Is per cent, over the year before.
 Thus the prohibition accomplisae e | all the purposes it was designed tG meet, and although there was coasia- cradle protest in some quarters upos its first enforcement, the benefits have become so apparent that there have been many requests recently that it be put into effect again next spring.
 The situation is so different, how. ever, that the continuance of the rule
 has been deemed unnecessary. There are more hens in the country thar ever before. there is a. considerable | amount of poultry in storage, an6 egg prices are such as to lead to the l maintenance of the flocks. Food i. lower than 1t was last spring anG | eggs are selling for more. so that the
 specialized poultry farmers are mai1 l ing a profit. The announcement i made at this time that the rule vii not be in force in order to foresta | temptation to flood the market b, | those who might wish to avoid sucf lsrestrlctions.

STOPS PAY TO BETHLEHEM STEEL
Secretary Insists Upon Ad- .justment of Wage
 Dispute.

Washington, Jan. 21-Secretary Daniels announced today that the Bethlehem Steel Co. will get no fur ther payments from the Navy De- partment until it has fulfilled every promise it has made in connection with it's labor troubles.
 The Secretary said no money had been paid the company for some time and that none would be paid until it's pledges had been carried out.
 The War Labor Board sought to settle the dispute between the work men and the Bethlehem company be- fore the armistice was signed and seemed in fair way to obtain an agreement. It is said that the com- pany agreed to collective bargaining with the men. When the armistice was signed, however, the attitude of the Bethlehem company is described as having undergone a sudden change, the officials refusing to have anything to do With the committee that was elected or to accept the Jurisdiction of the War Labor board.
 The navy has fewer contracts with the company than the War Depart ment, but it is, nevertheless determin- ed to hold the company to its agree ment.
 In doing this the department will make no payments on contracts until the whole question is cleared up.
 Involved in the dispute is the amount the navy is to pay on the contracts already made. The com ! pany is representing that if wages are to be raised, a certain per cent should be added to the prices of the ! big guns and other war materials that | the government is buying. Officials here believe, however, that l the possibility of a wage increase was taken into account by the Bethlehem management when they made the contracts with the government and | that the prices they made were put at level to protect the company fully l should the raises be granted. The navy, consequently, is declining | to pay the increase asked, but has of l fered to appoint a committee of ex- | perts to investigate costs of produc- l tion and to abide by their report. For 1 some reason the Bethlehem company l Is reluctant to settle the question in i this way.
 At the outset of the war 1t was
 agreed that the War Department
 would, concentrate most of it's orders ] at the Bethlehem plant, while the
 navy would use the Midvale plant, ex- | cept for the big guns, for the manu- | facture of which Bethlehem had the | best facilities.
 MT. Daniels said today that there
 had been no trouble with the Midvale
 management or with any subsidiary of the Bethlehem company.

ANNIVERSARY OF
 FREMONTS BIRTH

Today is the 106th anniversary of explorer, soldier and statesman. In that rich empire which stretches San Diego, Fremont will be honored as the great Pathfinder" Califor- nians will revere the memory of the man whose bravery and hardihood re- suited in the acquisition of the Golden State by the Union. In the history of the Republican party Fremont holds an important place as it's first Presi- dential candidate. The South shares in his glory, for the famous explorer was born in Savannah, Ga, Jan. 51, 1913, and he spent his youth and re- l ceived his education Ina Charleston, s. c.
 John Charles Fremont entered Charleston College at the age of 15, and was a brilliant student until he | fell in love with a young West Indian girl, neglected his studies, and was expelled from college. He became a i private teacher in mathematics, and | at 20 was employed in the same ca 1 pacity on board the sloop of war | Natchez. Returning from a two-year l cruise, he went to Baltimore and
 passed an examination for the post | of professor of mathematics in the
 nevy. A little later he quit the sea
 and took to railroading, as a surveyor 1 on Q line between Charleston and
 Augusta, Ga, and on other roads i1
 South Carolina and Tennessee. Ii
 was as g surveyor in wild sections ot | the South that he had his first ex- perience in Indian warfare. He ther
 became a second lieutenant in the United States army and in 1841 mar.
 ried Miss Jessie Benton, daughter oi
 the famous Missouri Senator.
 | Fremont's great work, which hai
 made his name immortal, began il
 1S42, when he projected a geograph
 ical survey of the entire westerI
 country from the Missouri River tt
 the Pacific His expedition began a
 a point near Kansas City. Defyinl the fury of the elements and band
 of hostile redskins, he carried on hi work and returned in safety. I'm | Rockies and reached Great Salt Lake of which no accurate account hat lever been given. Thence he proceed
 ed to the upper tributaries of tn
 Columbia, and, in the midst of win
 ter, after terrible hardships, reached
 Suffers Fort on the Saeramento. Hi
 next expedition Yas to the maritim
 region of California and Oregon
 Hunger and priYation, Indian attack
 and a clash with the Mexican author ities were incidents of this trip. :
 little later he had the pleasure of re ceiYing tho eaPitulation of the Mexi cans which left California perma Inently in the possesAon of the United States. h 1855 Fremont settled i! New York, and in the following yea . was the unsuccessful Presidentia
 candidate of inc new Republican party. He died in 1890.

NO OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT

Members of the fire department
 yesterday were informed by Chief Daniel l.. Johnson, that they would not be allowed to have employment outside of the department, so long as they remain in the employ of the city. This is an old rule of the de- partment, but was read to the fire fighters yesterday in order to call their attention to the fact. This mat ter was brought to the front because of the two platoon system recently put into effect in this city, which allows the men to be off duty days during
 one period, and nights on the other shift.

TODAY'S ANNIVERSARY.

The first paper mill in New Eng land was established by Daniel Henchman. born in Boston 230 years ago today. It was not the first of its kind on the continent, however, the pioneer mill for the manufacture of paper having been built in 1890 by William Rittinghuysen, at a point within the city limits of Philadelphia, The first paper mills in England were erected at Dartford in 1880. The French and Dutch, however, were the first Europeans to manufacture paper, Papermaking machinery was invented by Louis Robert, who sold his model to Didot, the great printer, who perfected the apparatus, with the assistance of Fourdrinier. The latter obtained an English patent in 1901, and gradually the paper industry was revolutioniZed..
