THURSTON COUNTY

CHAIRMAN WEIR SAYS CAMPAIGN
SHOWING RESULTS-VOLUN.
TIERS WANTED no WORK
AT POLLS.

Thurston county is strong for ref
erendum No. 2.
That is an assured fact. If every
other county in the state will give the
bonus bill the majority this county
will on November 2, the ex-soldiers
will get their adjusted compensa-
ton.
Frank Weir, chairman of the
bonus committee Of the Legion, re
ports that some intensive campaign
ing has been done in this county. No
political rally has ben held in the
county during the past week without
q bonus speech of Ave minutes thrown
in. And the audiences have warmed
up to the measure in q way which
has assured everyone that the meas
ure Is on the safe side.
Reports from Seattle, Spokane and
Tacoma indicate that those counties
have also done some fine campaigning
for the bill, many converts having

BOOZE" HAS ANCIENT
 HONORABLE ANCESTRY

CLEVELAND, O., June Is (by Asso- ciated Press) s).-"Booze" has had it's ancient and honorable ancestry in the English language uncovered here re- gently by Prof. William H. Hulme, of Western Reserve university,
 Labeled for generations as an etymological outlaw and branded as such with quotation marks, Professor Hulme finds booze" has a pedigree longer than that of most kings. Its earliest spelling, according to Profes- sor Hulme, was "bowse." Later writ ings show it was "bouse" and finally booze"
 Both as a noun and verb the word, ; Professor Hulme said, written 'bowse' in middle English Literature as far back as 1900, had the meaning to drink to excess About 1900 the word lost the honorable character it had and became a slang word. The par ticular 'bousing' is recorded as early as 1929, and fbouser' was used in Eng fish in 1611."

OLIVES AGAIN
 FIND FAVOR AS
 FOOD DELICACY

WASHINGTON June 16 (by Asso- ciated Press )-Ripe olives have been restored to favor. It is again safe to eat them, according to governme ent experts. The appetizing delicacy which, by reason of few instances of imperfect packing, was brought into temporary disfavor all over the United States, has been officially restored to it's place at the table and epicures may breath a sign of satisfaction. h. cidentally, the bacillus botOlinus, that tiny organism responsible for ripe olives undeserved loss of popularity, has been utterly routed and destroyed and henceforth, must seek other fields.
 Secretary Meredith, of the depart ment of agriculture, in making public the result of a thorough investigation by government chemists of cases of poisoning due to the eating of ripe olives, said the trouble was not lue to the containers in which they were packed but to isolated cases of in- adequate sterilization. The chemists found, he said, that it was possible to sterilize completely both glass jars and tin cans. To eliminate all possi- ble future trouble, he said, the pack CTS have adopted the departments recommendation that the olives be subjected to not less than 240 degrees of heat to prevent the possibility of danger to the consumer. This in- creased sterilization, it is said, in no way effects the flavor or edibility of the relish.
 Owing to prejudice, due to the pub licity given cases of poisoning from eating ripe olives, according to the packers, the ripe olive packing indus try has been practically destroyed, the demand having fallen off 95 per cent. So widespread was this prejudice that the consumption of green olives was similarly reduced, although no fatali- ties were traced to the use of them. It is believed that the action of the department of agriculture in discOv- ering that the cause of poisoning was not due to either tin cans or glass jars, and in uniting the packers in a cooperative movement to standardize their product by absolutely safe meth ods of sterilization, will restore the olive industry to it's former position in the American trade.

OF Travel.

1t is q strange thing that in sea
voyages, where there is nothing to be
seen but sky and sea, men should
make diaries; but in land-travel
wherein so much is to be observed,
for the most part they omit it; as if
chance We're filter to be registered
than observation. Let diaries there
fore be brought in use. l.. Let him
carry with him also some card or book
describing the country where he
traveleth; which will be a good key
to his Inquiry. Let him not stay
long in one city or town; more or less
as the place deserveth, but not long !:
nay, when he stayeth in one city or
town, let him change his lodging from
one end and part of the town to an
other; which is q great adamant of
acquaintance.-Lord Bacon.

This huge boulder sits directly on end

known as Balance rock"
This rock is a relic Of the glacial

HAS MUCH OF OLD SPLENDOR
Interior of Famous Church of ST. So
phia Greatly Impressed Noted
English Divine.

DR.. Norman Macleod, chaplain to
Queen Victoria, and the editor of
GOOD Words from 1860 to 1872, Wis
tied Constantinople in 1866 and writes
of his visit in that magazine. He says
of the church of st. Sophia that he
saw nothing imposing in its massive
exterior, which gives the impression
simply of vast size, but its interior, in
spite of the decay of its minute de-
tails and the absence of all furniture,
in accordance with the simplicity of
Moslem worship, is one of the grand
est and most stately in the world. The
pillars of porphyry and marble, some
of which once belonged in all proba-
bjlity to the temple of Diana at Ephe-
sus, the roof of mosaic, greatly de-
faced, it is true, but yet as whole
retaining much of its ancient splen-
dor, the vast galleries formerly occu-
pied by women only, impressed him
deeply. He mentions the noble space
afforded for worshipers on the floor,
and says that 10000 people could be
accommodated within the walls. 1T
would be a grand church to preach in"
he adds. His Moslem guide pointed
out what he called large portrait of
Constantine in mosaics, but white
washed over so as to be but dimly per-
ceived. 1T is not unlike the picture
by Cimabue in st, Marks in Venice !;
it seems to keep possession of the
church through all changes"
