nobody has paid any attention to me

Ida stared at the clock with wide

talent which NO other clock has ever
received. Now II you win be quiet

the clock.

STUDY OF GERMAN is
ADVISED BY POINCARE

PARISH is urged to take up the
study of German, says Raymond
Poincare, former President of France
"While German science should not
be overestimated, it should not be
deprecated, either Many discoveries
and many inventions will be made in
Germany from which we will be cut
off if we do not know how to read
German.
'The repugpance shown by pupils
in this respect is foolish and against
the best interests of the country.
More than ever German should be
taught in the schools. Unless we do
this our future scientists, professors,
historians and chemists will be de-
prived of some of the soundest bases
of research. The study of our neigh
boris language can only be beneficial
to our spirit.
"The same applies to music and
the other arts. French music is
strengthened by contact with German
music, our literature can only gain
by communion with Goethe and Kant.
If we take pains not to be carried
away by enthusiasm for the Ger
manic spirit the study Of German
will be entirely to our advantage"

PINKERTON EXPLAINS
CAUSE OF CRIME INCREASE

The country is experiencing an un.
precedented increase in crime, &C
cording to William A. Pinkerton
head of the Pinkerton National De-
tective agency, in Salt Lake in the
course of a tour of inspection of the
agency's offices. Ineffective enforce
ment of prohibition laws, protrayal
of crimes in motion picture shows,
conversion of the automobile into a
means of escape and the advent of
foreign criminals are among the con-
tributing factors in the opinion of the
famous detective.
Many of the recent daring holdups
could not have been undertaken, but
for the automobile, says Mr.. Pinker-
ton. Again, the failure of enforce
ment of the prohibition law leaves
liquor available to the criminal class
while depriving the lawabiding citi-
zens, he points out. OF the new
corners in crime, Mr.. Pinkerton re-
marked that they are not yet known
to the police and detective agencies
and are, therefore, operating with
less restraint than would otherwise
be the case.
Explaining that he is an advocate
of motion pictures as a factor in edu-
cation, Mr.. Pinkerton deplored that
education in crime should be per-
mitted thru picture shows.

EMBARGO MAY Be
DECLARED ON OIL
British Control of Meso-
potamia Fields Is
Cause

Observation-Disclosures will be
asked to declare an embargo on ex-
port of all American oil to Great
Britain if that nation declines to
open the Mesopotamian oil fields to
American development, it was in.
dicated by high state department Of
ficials here.
This country, it was learned, ex-
poets and Is prepared to meet refusal
by Great Britain to comply with all
demands made in Secretary Colby s
note on grounds regarded by Ameri-
can officials as simply subterfuges.
They are:
First-That Mesopotamia is really
part of the future Kingdom of Arabia
over which Great Britain merely
holds a mandate as temporary
trustee for Abrabia.
Second-That until final settle
ment is made with Arabia, all COM
mercial development of Mesopotamia
must proceed under full British
control"
Third-That in any event the
United States did not lend a soldier
or spend dollar in the pacification
of Mesopotamia and is therefore not
entitled to either special or general
privileges in that country.
The last contention, it was stated
by high official, is at once the most
fallacious and most offensive of all.
Had it not been for money
loaned by the United States and for
American troops sent in France" said
he, Great Britain would not have
had a mandate over Mesopotamia or
any other territory, if indeed, she
would have possession of her own
domestic soil.
1.-The United States was not con-
suited by Great Britain regarding
her mandate for Mesopotamia, he
added, she took this by force. We
were not offered a mandate over it or
anything except Armenia, which no
body else would accept"
AS most of the British oil COM
panies now operating in the United
States hold state charters, they can
not, it is i. stated, be effectively
reached by the federal leasing law
which empowers the government to
refuse or revoke leases held by ma
tionals of foreign countries who re-
fuse equal treatment to American
citizens abroad.
1t will therefore be necessary, one
official said, to lay the situation be-
fore congress and ask for an embargo
on oil to Great Britain.
AS the United States is now pro-
ducing between 60 and 70 per cent
of all the oil used in the world, and
as one of the biggest British COM
panies obtains 4 5 per cent if it's sup
ply here, an embargo would mean
economic ruin for Great Britain, it
was stated here.

Vaccine to Prevent
Tuberculosis May
Be Discovered Soon

ADMINISTRATIONS that medi-
cal science is on the verge of dis
covering a vaccine for the prevention
and cure Of consumption has been
made by Sir ]. Crichton Brown, M.
D., l.. l.. D. F. r. s., one of the lead
ing physicians and surgeons in Great
Britain.
Before long medical science will
be able to cope with this great pro-
blem in a way the world at one time
never dreamed Of" he declared in an
interview. ut is possible that we
shall yet be able to vaccinate against
the terrible white plague as success
fully as we do against smallpox.
Because many people have tuber-
Gle bacilli lodged in Their bodies does
not mean that these persons are suf-
fering from tuberculosis. The bacilli
have effected an entrance but have
been isolated and made non-effective
for the time being in some gland or
tissue and remain latent, or occult
for years, or perhaps for life.
"Metchnikoff attributed his own
escape from the plague under dan
gerous exposure-for he nursed his
wife for four years while she was
S, fering from phthisis, which ended
fatally-to the fact that he had a
tubercular gland formed in child
hood. And that great authority on
the subject, Professor Calmette, con-
siders it possible by process of &C
tive vaccination to assure the pro-
lection of human beings against the
bacillary infection by tubercle."

TWIN FALLS HIGH
UNDEFEATED THIS YEAR

TWIN FALLS.-The local high
school football eleven preserved its
unbroken string of victories here this
afternoon by defeating the Boise
high school team 40 to 0. Twin Falls
scored one touchdown in the first
period and four more in the second
quarter. A final touchdown in the
fourth period ended the scoring.
Bosses attack appeared danger
GUS in first few moments of play
when an end run and a forward pass
brought the ball within a few yards
O, the goal line. This was the only
time during the contest that the Wis
itors threatened to score.
BY defeating the Boise eleven the
local team has preserved an unblem-
ished record for eight games. Dur
ing the eight games they have run
up total of ATT points, while hold
ing their opponents scoreless. A
large crowd was in attendance at the
game, the chamber of commerce at
tending in a body.

While 1t is approaching the fall
months there still is plenty of time
to build that new home so that 1t will
be ready for occupancy before the win
ter sets In. However, If the house is
to be furnished, no time should be lost
IN selecting the plans and letting the
contract.
Costs Of building have been re-
duced materially since last spring.
The prices of lumber have come down
and contractors will soon have about
finished the contracts they undertook
early in the year.. Consequently now
is very good time to go ahead with
the home building plans.
The most important phase Of home
building is selecting the plans. The
design should be decided upon with
care, as 1t is expensive and unsatisfac-
tory 70 make changes after the build
ing operations actually are begun. The
right sort Of house will contain just
enough rooms to accommodate the
members of the family; 1t should not

gives them plenty of ventilation. One
Of the reasons these rooms are of the
size they are is that the architect
has specified space-saving closets.
These closets accommodate in small
space as many garments as the larger,
dark closets found in many homes ;
are equipped with hangers which keep
the clothes In the best of condition
and permit the owner to withdraw the
hangers from the closets when a gar
ment is needed. These closets save
a foot or more over the ordinary clos
cts and add just that much to the size
Of the room.
Under the house is a full basement
finished with concrete floor. Here
are provided separate rooms for the
heating plant, the fuel, the laundry,
and a storage room for fruits, vege-
tables and canned goods. The laun-
dry is located so that the clothes have
to be carried the least distance. and Is
arranged so that it will accommodate
the modern labor-saving washing ma
chine, mangle and dryer. that are
needed by the family of good size in
these days Of high laundry labor
costs.
Taken all together this is an excel
lent home for good sized family. At
the same time it is not expensive, its
dimensions being only 80 by SO feet.
All of the walls, both foundation and
In the superstructure, are straight,
which are the most economical in
both labor and materials to con-
struct.
BY consulting your local architect,
contractor and building material deal
er the cost Of this house can be as
certained.

GERMAN MONARCHISTS DIS
GUSTED WITH GOVERNMENT

BERLIN.-The Prussian royalist
or monarchial party considers that
the people of Germany are so dis
gusted with the present state of af-
fairs in general and with socialistic
republic in particular that the mon
archists believe the time is ripe for
| them to come out in the open. The
| first move in that direction has been
| to establish an "organ"-a semi
monthly periodical with the appro-
pirate name 1.-The Crown" In Ba-
varia the royalist party has a daily
newspaper Kings Messenger"
The first number of the organ of
the Prussian royalists, ''The Crown"
has just appeared. It's greetings are:
Germans, so far as YOU are still
worthy of this name, whatever tribe,
whatever views-whatever this side
of the frontier Or on the other, yes,
even beyond the ocean, we call to
you! Hear our call, our vol.e! Ger
mans of all countries unite!
Drop your murderous dissension
class hatred-civil war;! Think
that the enemy is in your country,
with unbridled rapacity ready to COM
NIT every outrage.
Enough of disgrace, enough of
humiliation! Think Of nothing else
day and night than united in will
and determination for the rescuing
of our trampled, outraged Father
land-to shake off the servitude at
every price.
THAT the Government since the
revolution has completely failed is
clear to all eyes. The upward trend
can only come from those who had
nothing in common with the over
throw and whose shield is spotless
and clean"
The paper adds that ''The Crown"
will fight the revolution and it's in
competent government, but only with
constitutional means, and will stand
for a strong government and for a
strong imperial Germany"
Among the contributors announced
are General Frederick Won Bern
hardi, General Baron Won Freytag-
Loringhoven, Professor Theodor
Schiemann, the aged friend of the
ex-Kaiser, and who is reported to be
assisting Wilhelm II, in writing his
political testament" Schiemann,
The Crown announces, will have
charge of the foreign POLITICAL de-
partment Of the publication.

cost more than it Is certain the home
builder will be able to pay, and 1t
should be arranged so that the work
of caring for 1t can be done In the
most satisfactory way. Care also
should be exercised in selecting the
type of exterior, eliminating as much
as possible any out-of-the ordinary ef-
fects.
Shown in the accompanying illus
trations Is a design for an eight-room
house that Is modern in every way
exterior appearance and interior ar
rangement-ando one that can be erect
ed at minimum cost. This house is
of frame construction, set on con-
crete foundation, the exterior being Of
board siding with stucco above the
second floor.
With the exception of the ornament
ed roof, this is colonial design. The
balance of the colonial Is maintained
throughout the exterior and the inte-
rior, and the porch, with its square
piers and rallied balcony above, adds
another touch that is along the lines
of the early American homes. The
roof is covered with tile Of concrete,
and good effect is secured by run
ming the rafters to the caves without
boxing them, as is done ordinarily.
How the eight rooms are arranged
is seen from the floor plans which also

en- is II by 10 feet, and opens into
a rear porch of good size.
The stairs lead to a large central
hall on the second floor, out of which
open the four bedrooms, bath room
and sewing room. The latter is a
room of good size for its type, being
8 by 8 feet, and can be made to serve
the purpose of children's play
room. Each of the bedrooms is on
a corner, and is as large as the liv-
ing rooms. or "parlors," in the old
