SHARE IN GRATITUDE

Armenians who reside in this
country are extremely grateful to Am
orleans who contributed so generously
for the relief of their stricken rel
atiyes in Armenia, said Asser G. Sar-
ian, of Spokane, a native Armenian,
today who is in Pendleton for a few
days Mr.. Sarian recently lectured in
the interests of Armenian relief in
Washington.
The relief which Americans have
sent has reached all save the interior
portions of Armenia, which are not
yet free of the Turkish nationalist
move. Where's has reached, Mr.. Sar-
ian said, is has saved many lives and
Armenia will always be indebted to
this country for its aid.
His father and two brothers fell in
combat against the Turks but his

DON'T TICKLE THE eELLlsT
HaaRshIha at astfst shaWs The uha
wisdom Of That Particular
Form of PIayfulness.

One should never tickle q cello play
err in the ribs, especially if he is a IA
nous one such as Phillip Abbas of the
Detroit Symphony orchestra, remarks
the Detroit News in recent issue.
Graham Harris, second violinist, did,
and ii almost cost him lot of trou-
Bile, to say nothing of a new violin
bow.
The story came out when Harris
filed suit for $500 in justice court
against Abbas. 1t was story of tenn
permanent and temper and the trouble
arose at rehearsal. Ossip Gabrilo-
witsch, director, was away for few
minutes. and the temperamental ones
INDUCED in a few moments of play
boy, not music. Harris reached his
violin bow over and tickled Abbas in
the ribs. Abbas does not care to be
tickled in his ribs and he swung
wicked cello bow to demonstrate that
he did not care for tickling. There
was snap anu TIE SeCoHu Floiihl@I .
best bow was mess and wreckaGe.
"Ah. ha," shouted Harris. You
have broken my bow. You shall pay"
"Shan't," shouted AbbaS. Your
own fault. You had no business in
my ribs" They glared and then the
director appeared and the fight was
dropped. 1t was taken up again via
justice court suit. 1t is believed that
the suit never will be heard. The or
chestra manager heard about it first.
FIe got the men together, scolded,
fumed, argued coaxed and at last
won. They shook hands. The dam
age was settled. And harmony OF
both sorts reigned.

ECUADOR HAS FEW SCHOOLS
COLLEGES in South American Country
Out of All Proportion to Pri-
mary Institutions.

If the proportion of whites in the
population of country is to be taken
as an indication of its intellectual
status, then one might fairly expect
only very moderate intellectual
achievement from Ecuador. One Of
the smallest of Andean countries, with
its few mountain towns linked with
the rest of the world practically not
otherwise than through its one impor-
tant seaport, it's entire population Is
only about ~ million, and of this
number all are Indians and blacks eX-
repting the four hundred thousand of
mixed origin and a mere one hundred
thousand whites.
At best, the twelve hundred primary
schools, with a nominal attendance
of eighty thousand, do not begin to
account for all the children Of school
age, and the thirty or forty secondary
schools have to do with no more than
forty-five hundred pupils, all told.
Like all Andean countries, however.
Ecuador gives preferment to all who
assume to follow professional ca
reer, and for higher instruction she
counts the three universities of Quito,
Guayaquil and Cuenca, with six pro-
rincial schools of trades and profess

BRING THEl7 OWN WELCOME
Robin and Dandelion Loved by Chill.
dreh Throughout the World, aid
Eagerly Looked For.

Someone has said that the dandelion
Is e-eminently the children's flower,
for it grows all over the world and Is
known and loved by the little ones OF
every nation. The robin holds the
same place in the affection of the chill
dren of this country, his arrival in the
spring being eagerly looked for by
them. And yet a charming woman
asked recently while listening to
song sparrow and a white throat,
"Does a robin sing, too?" Think of all
she has lost-at dawn, at twilight and
In the summer showers! Poor city
dweller.
And that reminds me of an incident
in a railroad yard in Michigan. A pair
of robins built their nest in freight
car, and just as the brood was Matched
the order came to send the car on to
Chicago. The yardmen, after consul
tation, telegraphed the situation to
headquarters, and the order came In
stantly back to sidetrack the car till
the babies were able 10 leave the nest.
The men at both ends of the line were
country boys, without doubt.
Our own particular robins are back
in full feather fat, red and saucy as
ever. We miss the one who always
hoped instead of running, on account
of some injury in his youth, and who
was here every summer for four years.

RETURNING TO SAVAGE DAYS?
Feathers, Furs and Jewels, Now So
Popular, Are Reminiscent of Our
Early Ancestors.

GfimpSes of present fashions and
views Of some shop windows lead TO
The impression that the world is, after
Ill as some commentators say, revert
ing to the savage, remarks the New
York Evening Sun.
Women are wearing more and more
ecathers in their hair and more and
more large and ornate jewelry upon
their hands and In their ears. Men are
showing n decided inclination to orna-
ment themselves to the limit OF their
purses in these days of the high cost of
clothes, and altogether anthropologists
tell us it is not such a very far cry
from the adornments of present-day
civilization to that of the Nearanthaler
man or the Garden of Eden itself.
The fashions of last winter showed a
prediction toward furs such as the
world has never seen since the days
when they were worn raw. Both men
and women wore them.
In milder climates women seem to
be wearing less and less. The stage is
noteworthy in respect to the unclothed
feminine back and certain sections of
society seem to follow the stage. Fash
ions return to Eve seems in certain
eases to be a mere matter of weeks, as
we progress in these swiftly changing
times.

NEW LINES SEEN ON MOON
British Astronomer Makes Public Re-
cent Observations of Great In
terest to Scientists.

A paper by T. L. Macdonald, read
before the British Astronomical asso-
citation, discusses the appearance OF
bright border along the dark limb or
the Young moon. According to Mr..
Macdonald this luminosity, which Is
not visible in all lunations, has more
or less linelike appearance, and is de-
cidedly brighter than the ordinary
earthshine, which always Eliminates
the darker part of the young moon.
The bright border varies in length, not.
always extending as far as the horns
of the lunar crescent, and certain
nearly circular swellings of intensi-
fed brightness have been noted. In
general the border is most sharply de-
fined when the moon is 21s days old.
and it begins to become diffuse the
third day of the lunation. BY the sew
enth day it is barely distinguishable.
Commenting on these observations,
Mr. Harold Thomson stated that he
had observed the bright border with
the naked eye, but it disappeared in
the elescope.-Scientifc American.

ONE THING THEY OVERL0 0KED
British Military Authorities Forgot the
Humble Printer in Desire to Pre-
serve War Secrets.

The marquis of Harrington tells an
episode from the war days when the
spy scare was at its height, according
to writer in the Halifax Chronicle.
Certain confidential information that
the military authorities wanted TO keep
absolutely secret was sent round by
trusted couriers in locked dispatch
boxes, with elaborate precautions OF
signing and countersigning and check
ing every stage. No one below the
rank of major general was entrusted
with the knowledge, and even these
were bound by tremendous oaths of
secrecy.
After a time 1t was found that these
weighty documents, which were eircu-
lated in printed form, were being set
up by ordinary printers, who were I'M
der no obligation to preserve secrecy,
and, in fact, took no precautions what
ever against leakage. However, moth
ing did leak out, but the military man.
darins, it is said, shuddered when they
realized the risks that had been run.

LAST WORD IN DICTIONARY
Possibly Few Know What 1t Is, ana
Really 1t Is Not OF Great
Importance.

Do YOU know the last word in the
dictionary?
II begins with the last three letters
In the alphabet, placed in their re-
verse order, and it means an Indian
libellulid dragon fly having a large
head, narrow face and very large
ewes" Tie word is "ZyXomma." This
is in the New Standard dictionary.
Webster's New international stops
one short of this, listing its final word
as "zythun," explained as being "a
kind of ancient malt beverage which
the Standard calls Every excellent
beer that Diodorua, though wholly I'M
accustomed to it, affirmed to have been
scarcely inferior to the juice of the
grape"
Together, then, the two dictionaries,
with beer and a dragon fly, make fair
" unimportant endings.
Reading up the column from "ZyX-
omma," one must traverse strange ter
ritorv for distance of GO words be-
for one reaches "Zuider Zee" the first
or rather the last fairly widely
known term in the dictionary. Be-
tween this Dutch sea and the libellu-
lid fly is a semi-desert country, stud
ded numerously with such thorny OBJ
structions as "Zygaenidae," "zgnema-
ceae" and ''Zyfiomaillare."
No wonder you were unacquainted
with the last word in your dictionary.
You are excused.-Kansas City Star.

GETTING Ready for Channel Tunnel.

0CllliS hSNoJ - $500
The gigantic task of moving back
the railway station platforms through
out the Great Northern system to al
low the passage of continental trains
when the channel tunnePis opened has
been begun, the Daily Mail is in
formed.
"The work of making the stations
to fit the trains will take several
years." said an official. 1T means that
every platform in both freight and
passenger stations will have to be al
tered"
The distance the platforms are be-
ing set back is two inches. This will
allow a good clearance for the con-
tinental sleeping cars, and also the
large freight cars.
The gauge" (the distance between
the rails) of the continental trains Is
roughly half an inch wider than the
British standard, but the shaping of
the tread of the wheels makes it pos
sible for trains of both British and
continental system to run on the same
track without risk of accident.

Officers ConY d,Annunzio.

Gabrielle d'Annunzios bald head has
set the fashion for the officers of his
little army in Fiume, many of whom
have shaved their craniums and are
endeavoring to grow miniature Van
dyke boards as copies of the poets
chin adornment.
The Fiume aviators have adopted
the craze with greater zeal than other
branches and call themselves Iron
Heads" Youthful officers in their
teens and early twenties have shaved
their heads and are wearing little
pointed boards in an effort to look as
much like the poet as they can.
Mixed uniforms Of French horizon
blue and italian gray green are worn
by d'Annunzio's men with great pride.

New York and Other Seaports.

AS a result of the great war the pop
ulation of France has decreased Z per
cent, but the population of some of
the large cities of France has made
a large increase. Lyons, Bordeaux and
Marseilles are of special interest to
American investors, who have paid
many millions of dollars in purchasing
bonds issued by these cities. Their
gain in population has ranged from
10 to SO per cent, the largest being
that of Marseilles, and 1t is perhaps
significant that Marseilles is the prin-
cipal port of France on the Mediter-
ranean, remarks the Boston CONNER
cial Bulletin.
AS the great seaport of America,
New York has made enormous growth
in recent years and the population
has become so great that not only is
New York the largest city in the world
but English newspapers now admit
that New York has nearly million
more inhabitants than London, which
has been for over century the
worlds greatest city.

Casino Forest Fire Impractical.

The officials of the United States
department of agriculture have been
in receipt of so many suggestions rel
alive to eXtinguishing forest fires with
the use of gas bombs dropped from air
planes that it has been found neces-
sary to issue statement for the pur-
pose of explaining that the scheme is
not feasible. For the purpose of over
coming a detachment of men, a mix
tlre Of one part of virulcnt poison to
LOGO 600 of air would be entirely suf-
fctent to accomplish the purpose, but
one Of $50 parts to the thousand would
not be powerful enough to quench a
connagration. Another thing to be
taken into consideration Is the difficult
.ty of dropping the bombs with the nee
essary precision. The art of striking
target with any degree Of accuracy
has not been developed at this time
and there is no prospect that it will
be sufficiently perfected to the point of
becoming available for the purpose of
fighting fires.

)OGS ASSIST LONDON POLICE
HeIl-Trained Animals Have Been
Found of Great Help in ApPre-
hension of Criminals.

The present wave of crime has given
an impetus in Great Britain TO the
training Of dogs for police purposes.
Police dogs were used to assist in
bringing the breaker Of laws to justice
before the word police was ever known.
In older days bloodhounds were used
on the borders of Scotland in certain
districts infested by murdcrerS and
robbers, and fax was laid on the in
habitants for maintaining them; also
there was law in Scotland that who
ever denied entrance to one of these
dogs should be treated as an accessory
to the crime.
The training of these dogs calls for
q large amount of patience, intelligence
and resource, far removed from the old
idea of dog breaking, which was usual
~ to beat the animal mercilessly into
the observance of few set rules.
1t is step by step in his daily lessons
that q dog gradually becomes track
er of criminals by their scent, purSues
escaping prisoners, discovers missing
people, or finds suspected ones in con-
cealment.
He learns Sfearlessly to seize and pull
down any aggressor, whether his mas
ter or himself be attacked, and to do it
with the least possible damage, ceas-
ing at once when the enemy gives in.
The popular conception of the police
dog is a wild, savage brute, which prob
ably accounts for the antipathy to his
use displayed in some quarters, and 1t
is well that the public should realize
that the properly trained dog is at all
times perfectly under control.

Most Remarkable Cave.

Howes cave situated so miles from
Albany, n. Y, probably the most re-
markable cavern known, was discov-
cred by Lester Howe, for whom it was
named, in 1912. Howe penetrated to
Il distance of II to y miles, but visi-
tors do not generally go farther than
four miles. The cavern was also call
ed the Ostgaragee cave, and is consid-
cred one of the wonders Of the con-
tinent.
The entrance to the cave is about
80 feet above the valley, and the rock
chambers known as the Reception
room, Washington hall, the Bridal
chamber, and the chapel, are success
sively reached. Then the Harlequin
tunnel is traversed, and the visitor
passes through Cataract hall, Ghost
room and Music hall.

Rare Plants in Demand.

In 1903 d scientific man named Drum

Now Harvard has written to New Or

searched again for the rare growth,
and the New Orleans Garden society
