Floating In Air.

Even yet there are some house

their homes the health-giving sun

triumphantly to the millions of dust
notes which become visible.
It is impossible with the naked
eye to see dust particles by ordinary
OF diffused light, but when the par
ticles are highly illuminated, as by
beam of sunlight coming into a
room or the rays Of an electric
searchlight, they are visible, but
4 they were there just the same be-
fore they we're disclosed. Doubters
who would cling to the sunight-and-
dust theory should try throwing a
powerful electric ray into room at
midnight. There will be disclosed
just as many dust particles in the
air as the sun would disclose at mid
day.
If it were not for the atmospheric
dust, we would not see the character

sunbeams as they are SO frequently

REVEAL GLORY Of PALMYRA
stuPendous Rulns Still Standing Evi-
dencs Of the Masnihcsnce That
Once Was Her Portion.

The ruins Of Palmyra are situated
IN an oasis in northern Syria, about
$50 miles northeast of Damascus.
These stupendous ruins comprise
the Temple of the Sun, or Ball; the
famous colonnade, nearly a mile in
length and consisting at one time Of
more than 1900 Corinthian col
umns, and the sepulchral towers
overlooking the ancient city. Tradi-
ton assigns the founding of Pal
myra to Solomon (1015-975 B. co.,
but the probability is that it is an
Arab settlement, conveniently plant
ed on the great caravan route be-
tween the Persian gulf and the Med
iterranean. sea.
Palmyra attained its greatest
prosperity under the famous Queen
Zenobia, 266-272 A. D. The city was
DESTROYED by the Emperor Aurelian
in the year s73 A. D., and the in
habitants were put to the sword.
Tadmor was the original name of
the city and was preserved until the
time of Alexander the Great, who
conquered it and changed its name
to Palmyra. Both names mean the
Getty Of Palms."

changes the general education board
has appropriated $4,000.

EXHIBIT OF FOOD AND
LAB0R.SAv|NG DEVICES
Manufacturers Will Display Wares
Superior Qualities.

A food and household equipment
show is to be given in the United
Churches, beginning September 20
and ending October 2.
Many manufacturers of staple
goods and household equipment have
signified their intention to send ex-
hibits and demonstrators, and the
exhibit this year will be larger than
the Washington exhibit last
year.
The Rotary club will help to make
this exhibition a great success, and
local interest manifested in the forth
coming display indicate the most
favorable outcome of the undertake
ing. according to Mrs. George H
Funk, who heads the committee hav-
ing charge of the display.
Miss Myrtle Boone. home demon
strator of this county, is giving spe-
cial attention to the thorough dem
onstration of farm household equip
ment, for which purpose labor-savinS
devices will be placed on show.
No admission fee will be charged
and food will be demonstrated daily,
so that anyone may secure good
meal by starting at one end of the
line and going through to the end.

Lyon, though only a city of 500,-
900. is the second largest in France.
This lack Of large cities indicates the
generally non-industrial character of
the country. Though it was Sunday
evening when we arrived, we found q
carnival in full swing. Barkers
barked; strong men showed their
strength; merry-go-rounds of more
varieties than ever saw before made
people dizzy for a few centimes.
Around little tables on the sidewalk
in front of every cafe men and women
were drinking the mild French drinks.
Two parades of athletic clubs went
by with bands. Another band played
under the very windows of our hotel
until midnight. Altogether it was
quite a treat after the quite of an
English Sunday.
We hated to leave Lyon, with her
beautiful rivers, the Rhone and the
Saone, without spending few days.
but we feared that the patience Of
the railroad company might give out
in time, since our tickets we're at
least one day too old. But I really
don't think it would have made much
difference. French methods are very
casual. l believe one could travel
half the length Of the country on
almost any kind of a piece of paper.
Leaving Lyon Monday morning on
a bumpy. dirty train, we started i'm
mediately to climb up into the noun
tains. The foothills Of the Alps come
almost down to the Rhone. Soon we
began seeing in the distance splendid
ranges of snowy mountains. The
little valleys through which the train
ran were cultivated right up to the
tops of the hills, with vineyards on
all the sunny slopes. The day was
very warm; we had at last left the
cold fogs OF the English Channel be-
hind. About noon we came to Gre
noble, very modern little city built
in pocket in the mountains. Snow
covered peaks rise almost straight up
from the town We were not long in
getting fixed up comfortably. except
that we sleep on the fourth floor OF
one house and take our meals on the
fourth floor of another. But we in
tend to do some mountain climbing,
anyway, and there's nothing like
being in practice.

SEQU|M PRAIRIE PARTY
At YELM CELEBRATION
j. l.. keeler of Clallam County to
Deliver Address Upon Success
Of Irrigation Along Strait.

Mr.. and Mrs. j. l.. Keeler of
Sequim are in the city today, and
will attend the Ditch Celebration at
Yelm tomorrow, where Mr.. Keeler
will deliver an address. They are
accompanied by Mr.. and Mrs. J. b.
Otto, T. G. Morton and James Wat
son. the last named being the ensi-
neer who constructed the irrigation
bitches at Sequim.
Mr.. Keeler says they have five big
bitches carrying water on the prairie
land, and they have sixth one pro-
jected which will cost them $3.50, ,00a
and greatly increase the acreage OF
irrigated land. 1t was the Sequim
project that gave the inspiration to
the Yelm people to irrigate the Yelm
prairie, and the manager, Mr.. Gold
smith. came from SeQuim to Yelm.
Mr.. Keeler was one of the dele
gates to the democratic national con-
ventiOn at San Francisco. and he
drove down to the convention city.
He took occasion to visit various
parts of the Golden State, and wss
gone about two months. The Stan
dard man had the pleasure of being
closely associated with him during
the convention and we found him a
true blue democrat and the prince Of
good fellows. He was strongly urged
by the democrats of the Second con-
gressional district to make the race
for congress this year, but his busi-
ness affairs did not permit him to
do so. He would have given Mr..
Hadley the race of his life.
While in Olympia Mr.. Keeler con-
suited the Land Settlement Board on
the matter of getting some of the
reclamation done on the west side.
There are many acres yet to be re-
claimed by irrigation, as we'll as by
land clearing. and by drainage, and
Mr.. Keeler feels that the board
might well turn little attention to
the west side, without in any manner
detracting from the efficiency of the
reclamation going on on the east
side.

Grenoble, France, Aug. IA, 1920.
Next morning, things were quite
different. The crowds in the station
were of a much more comfortable
size. Before I 60 on. it may be just
worth mentioning that it was in the
long hall Of our station at Paris,
which l described last week, that the
attempted assassination of NJ. Vent
zelos, the prime minister of Greece
took place on Thursday of this week
Considering the crowded condition OF
the station at most hours of the day
the scene must for few minutes
have been one of chaos.
To proceed, we found compart-
ment in which only four of the eight
seats were reserved. We soon had
chance to observe the travelling
habits Of the French people, for the
four reserved seats were occupied ny
two Frenchmen, one of whom had
with him a lady and a, boy. The last
two sat next to the windows. The
day was hot. Their idea of comfort
seemed to be to keep the windows
closed and the curtains pinned to-
gether, so that neither light nor air
could penetrate into the compartment.
Whenever they left their seats we
opened things up; as soon as tney
came back they patiently did their
work over again. 1t was really quite
a game.
All day long we passed through
beautiful smiling country. The land
scape of central France is perfectly
cultivated, artistic. and never over
crowded. In England, the farm land
is mostly in pastures, and towns
villages and factories seem but rev
hundred yards apart. France is, OF
course. primarily an agricultural
country, and her farms are cultivated
by their owners. Moreover. the pop
ulation of the country is at stand
still, so no radical industries change
is in progress.
About the middle of the afternoon
the train stopped without even look
ing for station. Everyone got out
to see what was wrong. A rumor ran
down the line that the engine was out
of coal. That didn't sound reason
able, so I investigated. The tender
was at least half full. But coal did
have something to do with the stop.
We had little hill to climb, ana had
to wait for steam to make the eHort.
In half an hour or so We started on
again. An hour later we came TO
another grade, and the process was
repeated. This train. would nave II

awarded first prize in the canning
contest. Miss Gladys Taylor and
Miss Ruth Hayden Of the South Bay
Canning Club were the representa-
tives. They attended the fair last

vegetables, etc., and answering ques-
tons, rs we'll as keeping an accurate
ad Intelligent record of the work. OF
tn counties competing the contest
was decided on points as follows:
Thurston county, 81.
Lewis county, 96.
Clarke county, 81.
Grays HarbOr county, 80.
Cowlitz county, SO.
This first prize entities the win
ners, Miss Taylor and Miss Hayden.
to trip to the State Fair at Yakima,
to enter the statewide contest there.
The State Fair authorities will make
them their guests while at Yakima,
but It Is up to Thurston county to see
that they get over there. The COM
mercial BODIES Of the city and county
will doubtless look after that.
The South Bay Canning Club, of
which these two young ladies are
members. is one Of the livest clubs
in the county, according to Mr.. Dun
ham. the club leader. The club has
six members. who meet every two
weeks for study and practice. They
have a pressure cooker. which they
bought themselves. They raised the
money by giving dance. Everybody
in the neighborhood is enthusiastic
and takes an interest in their success
full work.
The girls dig clans. geoducks.
catch fish, ETC., as we'll as do the can
ming. The whole neighborhood OF
South Bay and vicinity is wide awake,
largely because of these various boys
and girls clubs have interested them
in community work.
The second prize at the fair was
also won by member of the South
Bay Garden Club, represented by
Robert Adair. The third prize in the
Potato Club contest went likewise to
a South Bay Club member, Roy Tay-
lor.
The interest in these clubs Is grow
ing .all over the county. We hope
every community will soon be in the
class with South Bay in this matter.
