Little Overland Makes Over 81
Miles to Gallon Gas.

All of you remember reading
of the transcontinental trip to be
made by the little Overland car.
That was some trip and in it some
records were smashed. Here S
what happened:
A message sent out to Overland
dealers, briefly telling about
the wonderful journey, says:
Transcontinental car left New
York City midnight July IS; ar
rived in San Francisco 7 05 a.
m. Monday, July 26- 3442 miles
travel. Average speed, nineteen
and two-tenths miles per hour ;
elapsed time of 179 hours; 1862
gallons Of gasoline; averaging
twenty-seven and two-tenths
miles. per gallon. Twenty-Five
drivers; finished on original tires.
Car in splendid condition in spite
of great road difficulties encoun-
tered. "
Think of it. This little Over
land in its ocean to ocean test
trip averages 27.7 miles to gallon
of gas on the 3442-mile run, and
1921 miles per gallon of oil on
the run of 7 days. II hours con-
tinuous driving with Is different

ODD "cuREs" FOR SICKNESS
Bed Of Old cjnders Believed Effica-

Remedy for the Collie.

When Greek baby is sick and all
other remedies fail, bed of cold
cinders is very generally used as a
last resort. The cradle is filled with
old ashes and the infant is buried in
them. The American nurses have
never been able to discover what the
benefit to be derived from this curl
Gus custom was supposed to be.
The cure for collie is even more
curious. When the baby has Sc
we're collie the ponds in the enyirons
Of the house are diligently searched
by members of the family and all the
frogs are captured. These are placed
alive on the child's abdomen. 1t is
a very tiresome treatment, as some
one must sit and keep the frogs from
hopping off the patient. No thought
is given to the terror these jumping
frogs may have for the child.
Among the gypsies that wander
over the Balkans the work of the
Red Cross nurses is more difficult.
It will take years of preparation and
education to enable them merely to
begin to understand the idea Of child
welfare.

Forest Fires in Pierce Country

Crown fires, where the flames
leap from tree top to tree top,
have developed in the big timber
on Beaver creek. about 20 miles
from Pierce City. and report re-
ceived by the Tribune last night
from Orofino was to the effect
that about four sections have
been burned over. said the Lew
ton Tribune Of Wednesday. The
timber is included in the private
holdings embracing a part Of that
patrolled by the Clearwater Tim
Der association. Men are being
rushed to the district.
There is also a fire Of consid-
cradle magnitude near the mouth
of the Little North Fork on the
main Clearwater river, but this is
in an old burn and the work Of
the men on patrol is now confin-
ed to ditching to keep the blaze
away from green timber. There
are also some fires on the federal
forest in the Pierce district but
none Of them has yet assumed
serious proportions and condi-
tons indicate they will not
spread. The timber zone in which
the Beaver creek fire is burning
embraces as fine timber as stands
on the American continent, being
of the white pine variety.
Yesterday Charles Fohl sent
from Lewiston to Orofino 40 men
to join the forces of the Clearwa-
ter Timber Protective association,
of which Theo. Foil is the direct

BIRDS MUST BE PROTECTED
Without the Native songsters Success
ful Fight Could Not Be Wa0sd
Against Insects.

One of the most valuable assets
our nation has is its native birds.
Too much cannot be said or written
in their favor. Destroy them and
in . few years the injurious insects
will have multiplied to such an ex-
tent that trees will be denuded OF
their foliage, plants and crops can
not be produced.
There are more than 1000 species
of our native birds, and millions of
individuals. AS result of the ex-
animation Of more than $4,000
stomachs OF birds, they established
beyond reasonable doubt that birds
are of economic value, first in eat
ing harmful insects, their eggs and
larvae. Second, in eating the seeds
of noxious weeds. Third, in devour-
ing field mice and other small ro-
dents that injure the crops, and
fourth, in acting as scavengers.
While the economic value Of birds
should be kept in mind the esthetic
value should also be considered. Man
does not live by bread alone. We
should protect them for their grace
full forms, their charming beauty,
their delightful melody and their
joyous activity.-Thrift Magazine.

sides with his fathers hated rival and

FoRTlFlcATIoNs OF METZ.

An article by Coy. E. M. Blake,
G. A., in the Journal of the United
States Artillery, speaking of the
modern Metz Notifications, says that
the turrets containing the Krupp
guns can be manned and supplied
without ever exposing man, as all
batteries are connected with other
works of the "Feste" by deep subter-
ranean galleries. Miles Of these gal
leries have been cut, with a cross
section and grade to allow men to
circulate rapidly when needed, and
one finds complete kitchen, bakeries,
bathing and toilet rooms for the
garrison, large recreation rooms,
electric lighting and power, and a
complete system Of forced draft ven
tilation.

had a customer bring in a list
of items quoted by them for
us to figure on. We found
that they were asking un-
reasonable prices ON the
items and gave him an agree

delivered at Nezperce with 5

prices. We saved him better
than a dollar and a quarter

gave him the discount and it
still left US in position to

 And SC you were a pawnbroker?" Susie was saying, as she gazed at the man from behind the white veil. He could not catch view of her eyes, but he felt their start, penetrating and insistent.
 It was some moments before the man answered. During the pause the woman leaned back in her chair, apparently im- mersed in her own thoughts, for after time her fingers picked up a fork, dig ging with it into the table cloth.
