POWER SCHOONER
 COMING NORTH HAS
 QUITE A RECORD

Famous as the vessel which at tracted international attention in 1916, before America entered the war, when she was suspected of be ing outfitted as a German sea raider and detained in San Francisco by United States government authori- ties, the power schooner Oxno, for Hogan, is expected in Seattle tonight pr tomorrow to enter the Puget Sound-Alaska trade, says the Seattle Times
 The vessel was formerly owned 5y Shields & Knahich, Seattle Ship ping men, who purchased her in 1915 rom the Tidewater Mill Company Of Portland. They sold her to w. R. Trace & c. who disposed of the yes Iel to Swedish interests. She was equipped with engines and converted nto a double-decked carrier by her new owners, who were suspected of representing the German government.
 Held Up by Uncle Sam.
 The federal authorities in San Francisco refused to issue clearance papers to the schooner and she was jed up and taken out of commission. Unable to operate the Ozmo, the Swedish interests sold her to George ". McNear 6 Co of San Francisco, who sent her on one voyage to New Zealand and on one voyage to Val paraiso. The vessel was then pur- chased by the Northern Commercial Company from McNair & Go. and will be operated between Seattle md Bethel on the Kushokwim River
 By losing her rudder while 2,60O niles off Cape Flattery in 1916, the 0zmo escaped being taken as a prize If war by the Canadian government. The Canadian authorities had been advised that the vessel had sailed rom Shanghai for Seattle with six German passengers aboard. The ,ruiser Rainbow waited three weeks If cape fattery for the Ozmo, which the meantime lost her rudder and leaded for San Francisco where the iermans were landed.

GREAT STUGCLE FOR AMERICAN SHOES IN
 CITY OF BRUSSELS

NEW YORK, June 11.-American shoes were recently placed on sale in Brussels. Great crowds, strug- gling to reach an objective on the northern side of Rue Avenue, be- coming noisy and unruly caused a call to be sent to the police station for reserves. The objective was an American shoe store which had just advertised for sale carload of foot wear, at prices ranging from 50 to 60 francs. In the shopping district shoes were worth from 80 to 150 francs and here these crowds were battling for the privilege of pur- chasing shoes at the lower cost, equivalent to $10 or SIP per pair The supply was exhausted before sundown. As two poorly dressed women emerged from the store, one was heard to say, Blessed be the Americans; I have saved 50 francs"

fore the constitutional amendment be-
comes effective, January Is, is to be
made by some dry leaders in Congress,
but doubt is expressed whether the
necessary legislation can be enacted
before the end of the special session
late this month.
Representative Randall, prohibition
ist, California, said that when the
House took up the bill to extend the
Food Control act for six months after
the proclamation of peace he would
offer an amendment continuing the
wartime liquor act until the country
goes dry by constitutional amend
ment
Opponents of such a move and some
Of the drys admitted that such a
proposal would be subject to defeat
on parliamentary grounds, as the Food
Control act prohibits only the manu-
facture and importation Of intoxicants
An amendment prohibiting the sale of
liquor would be new legislation, it
was said, and as such would be sub
ject to a point of order unless the
House overrode the Chairs decision or
the Rules Committee reported a spe-
ctal rule making it in order.

The Attractive CITY,

In word, then, so far as I am per-
sonally concerned, you will not make
your city more attractive to me by
buildings, parks or monuments-what
other city has not these things? But
If you can show the heart that l know
Is in your breast, if you can forget to
look straight ahead in order to cast a
look of friendly interest on a passing
stranger, if you can cease to fear be-
ing "done" and become inspired by the
desire once in while to show that you
are a human being amidst your bricks
and stones, Just to that eXteut will you
do your part in making your city at
tractive. Oil may draw money to
Tulsa: social eXclusiveness will always
make Newport and Palm Beach desir-
able to a limited number; the palaces
of Pasadena will attract other million
aires there. But you'll prefer smoky
old Pittsburgh or noisy Kansas City.
or st. Joseph, or any other city that
shows its heart beneath the CRIME and
takes the lid off its smile.-J. Brecken-

Removing Warts From the Face.

One of the difficult disfguring
things to get rid of is the eruption
of many small warts on the face.
The British Medical Journal tells how
DR.. Charles Ind has succeeded In
eradicating them. He paints the warts
three times in one day with satu-
rated solution of salicylic acid in al
cohol and the following morning he
cuts them off with fiat sharp steel
instrument, beveled on one side only.
This is painless, but it leaves tiny
bleeding point at the site of the wart.
This he Immediately paints again with
the salicylic acid solution, which Is
applied twice again the same day. On
the second morning the sites of the
warts have small brown scabs, which
are bathed once day with pure al
cohol till they drop off, leaving a
healthy skin.

What right have we in "free Amer1-
ca" to stretch forth an autocratic
hand arbitrarily to change the village
life of this ancient and peaceful folk?
We spoke Of the characteristic
architecture of the pueblOs, by many
centuries the oldest inhabited towns in
America, whose fiat-roofed, terraced
houses are not only in utter harmony
with natural surroundings, but consti-
tute, from a practical standpoint, the
most successful type of building for
desert cities. High above the sands,
the fiat roof forms a porch for the
open-air Indian, whereon at certain
seasons he works, rests, receives his
guests, eats, and sleeps.
In North Africa, in Spain, in Asia
Minor, where climatic conditions are
similar to those in Hopi Land, the
same fiat roof may be found. But we
think we know better! In land OF
burning sun, the slanting, hot, tin roofs
of the government dwellings clinging
in an inherited architecture of rain

And yet the white mans impractical

In the manner of disposing of their
eggs many species of frog exhibit re-
markable peculiarities. One of the
most curious, tree frog, native OF
Paraguay, makes its nest in a bush
overhanging a pond. The lower ends
of a number of leaves are drawn to-

a number of empty egg capsules. The
