NEW KINDS OF CLUBS
HAVE TO BE RECKONED WITH

The Overalls clubs and the Cling
ham clubs are raising such stir in
the commercial world as has not
come from any other source in re-
cent times. Things spring up over
night now and are in effect at
breakfast time.
In Bingham county it was the
Mystery club that formed, unbe-
known to the public, and now its eff
feet is felt as far as it has been or
gained, from away up the Snake
river valley down to places below
Salt Lake. It's purpose is to deal
with car thieves, and since the ques-
tion has finally been settled unani-
mously as to just what shall be done
and how it shall be done when a
thief tries his stunt, the men Of
mystery are like newly elected exc
cutioner-waiting to administer the
ak to the first offender-and execu-
TONERS are being selected and sworn
in as far as the organization extends,
the determination being that the
stealing of cars shall end as abso-
lutely thru this country as did horse
stealing in the long ago. There was
a time when it was not quite safe
for a man to look towards horse,
it being known that vigilantes took
note of every act that might form
circumstance against him in the
moment when it was decided that he
was ito be or not to be-. The man
who sets his foot on the running
board of another mans car now may
be under surveillance for week af-
forwards.
1t is no longer doubted that this
is the day of clubs that do business
without ceremony and without any
backing up.

proved delightful affair.
Much excitement has been
aroused in the high school concern
ing the overall movement. A special
boys meeting was held Monday at
O'Clock to decide upon adopting
the wearing OF overalls at school.
Nothing came of this meeting so an
other was held Tuesday noon with
the same result. In the meantime
an overalls club was formed among
few boys headed by Darwin Sim
mons. Tuesday afternoon at o.
clock another meeting was called. A
petition was made out, the follow

clothing drops.
A very enjoyable talk was given
to the student body Tuesday after
noon by the Chinese orator, DR.. Wei

British Medical Scientist
Makes Important
Discovery

LONDON.-Much excitement has
been caused in British medical re-
search circles by the announcement
in the house of commons that far
reaching discoveries which may re-
veal the secret of heart disease are
on the point of being made by DR..
Thomas Lewis, of University Col
lege hospital, London, who is not yet
forty.
In his statement in the house DR..
Walter E. Elliott said:
There is one form of palpitation
of the heart from which some 10000
pensioners from the army are suf-
fering. We have made great prog
ress in that. I have here diagrams
showing the heartbeat in man and
the heartbeat in the dog, and the
diagrams are practical identical
These experiments prove practically
and conclusively the cause of heart
disease.
The heartbeat starts by an i'm
pulse beginning at the top of the
heart and passes down in a certain
sort of current throughout the
muscle.
In heart disease the wires are
faulty, the circuit is bad, and instead
of passing straight down through
the heart, as it should do, the I'm
pulse is broken up and the heart
goes into what is known as febrilla-
ton.
Each muscle fibre begins witch
ing Independently, and in some
cases one single muscle impulse gets
loose, SO to speak, and courses round
and round the heart.
Already we have opened the way
to finding out what heart disease
is, and that will give us a direct
lead as to what to do for it.
eve suggest that the way we can
cure it best is this: If the circuit
is faulty, improve the circuit, and
by altering the chemical compost
ton Of the blood by means of GER
tain chemical salts we hope to be
able to improve it, and to set this
fluttering, useless, palpitating heart
beating strongly and steadily and
regularly.
In regard to this impulse that
passes round the heart, breaking it
all up, it is hoped that by an electric
shock you will be able to stop the
and set the heart beat
ing again."
In confiramtory statement DR..
Lewis says
"The new facts that have come to
light concern common and serious
variety of heart disease known as
fertilization of the auricles. From
so to. 70 per cent of all heart pa
tents admitted to the great London
hospitals suffer from fertilization.

BRITISH ANXIOUS TO
DEVELOP POISON GAS

London, Dec. 4.-The British War
Office is now seking to mobilize the
scientists of the country for the de-
velopment of the use of poison gas in
warfare.
The revelation is made by DR.. Fred
erick Soddy, professor of chemistry
at the University of Oxford, one of
the scientists approached by the War
Office in their action, which is in de-
fiance of the October declaration of
the council of the League OF Nations
that this council can not legitimatize
the use of poison gas and must seek
means to prevent its manufacture"
The position taken up by the War
Office is that every country is press
ing forward its experiments with pol
son gas, and that Great Britain can
not afford to drop behind.
Soddy's statement has caused great
surprise here. and pacifists are in
sisting that the assembly of the league
at Geneva shall issue the strongest
possible veto on this cruel form of
warfare. The professor says;
II have Just received an invitation
from the War office to become an
associate member of the committee

CLAIMS GERMANS
MURDERED CAR
Assertion Made BY British Writer
Based On Revelations OF
Russ Officer.
Louisville Herald.
(By Earl G. Reeves.)

London, Dec. 4.-Czar Nicholas II
was murdered by the Germans for
motives of German policy and with
the connivance, if not the instigation,
of the German government.
Such is the sensational assertion of
John Pollock, son of one of Britain's
most eminent jurists, and formerly
correspondent in the Baltic for the
Daily Express and International News
Service.
Pollock make his charges in
closely-reasoned article in the Fort
nightly Review, one of England's
most conservative periodicals. The
assertion is based on the statement of
an officer companion of the car with
whom Pollock talked.
Germany, declared pollock, was en-
cheering a scheme for the abdication
of Nicholas, the raising of his son to
the throne, and the appointment of
the Grand Duke of Hesse, the ex-
empress brother, as regent. A fur
ther condition of the scheme was the
assurance that the son should marry
German princess.
Nicholas, in the act of abdication
signed by Pskov, had abdicated the
throne not only for himself, but for
his son as well. It was proposed
that Nicholas be brought back to
Russia, where he would recant his
abdication as having been obtained
under pressure and then again SOL
EMMY abdicate, but this time in ia
vor of his son.
The cars reply to this proposal,
according to the officer quoted by
Pollock, was
81 will not be traitor to my peo-
pie"
So the coup whereby Germany
hoped to use the resources Of Russia
to feed her starving population, and
buttress her weakening western front
was blocked. And Nicholas and all
his relatives who might have had any
knowledge of the proposal met their
deaths at the hands of Magyar as
sassins.
The story is. of course, as complete
ly uncomfortable as are many other
reports that come out Of Russia.

the government to domesticate these
animals, and a separate department of
the company with a capital of $780,
900 and the advice of the noted Arc
tic explorer, vilhajamur Stefannson,
will proceed at once with its plans.
Stefannson spent five years in the
far north living almost exclusively on
the land. He says the musk OK and
the reindeer, which abound at the
Arctic circle, can be made to supply
meat and wool.
Land is first sought by hunters,
next by farmers and finally by manu-
facturers," says Stefannson. I'VE
have hunted the far north. Now
comes the time of grazing and cattle
raising and after that perhaps an in
dustrial development"
Musk oxen and reindeer are more
valuable for beef than cattle" says
Stefannson. 1.-THE musk OK forages
for itself and will produce 16 to IS
pounds of wool year.
There are huge stores of oil, tim
Der and minerals and plenty of water
power in the far north. Sooner or
later the musk OK and reindeer will
lead the way to the population of that
section"

ICE-TRAPPED, BUT
They LIVE HIGH
Say Envious Veterans Of
Arctic, OF Crew On
Polar Bear

Seattle, Dec. .-Winter-bound in
the Arctic, trapped by ice, marooned
hundreds of miles from the nearest
white setlement-this is the shock
ing plight of the two trading schoon-
ers, Polar Bear and Belinda, caught
pby an early freeze-up west of North
Cape, Alaska.
Stay-at-homes, reading of the fate
of the traders, SILVER in sympathy and
picture gaunt men gnawing boiled
mukluks on the desolate floe.
But oldtimers in Arctic waters
chuckle. They are envious of the
men in the Belinda and Polar Bear.
All the expressions of sympathy from
Arctic navigators and traders could
be summed up in the phrase THE
lucky stiffs."
They hope that no relief expedition
is sent out from Nome in behalf of
the costly cargoes of furs carried by
the two vessels, because they picture
merry, merry winter for the hardy
adventures in snug winter quarters.
They may run out of butter or as
paragus tips" said Olaf Swenson, of
Hubbard & Swenson, who escaped
few hours being caught in the ice
on his return trip from Siberia in the
company's motorship, Kamachatka.
Plenty To Eat.
"But those lads are in the midst
of rich reindeer country and will
live like kings. They could kill
enough game, for that matter, to
keep alive if it was necessary. 1t is
but a pleasant dog sled trip to East
Cape, 400 miles distant, where $780,
900 worth of provisions, Seattle
prices, are available
Swenson has wintered in similar
circumstances and so has Carl Albert
sen of the Independent Packing Co.,
who, except for business reasons,
would rather be in the Polar Bear
than in Seattle.
"They will play cards, dance, give
concerts, take hikes, hunt, play shin
ny and have a good old time, general
,ly," said Albertsen.
Stauncn VesesI.
The Polar Bear, sixty.tOn schoon-
err, is a famous craft in her class. She
was purchased from Capt. Louis Lane
by Stefansson, the explorer, and was
sold to the Lindeberg- Cole Company
of Nome, after doing valiant service
along the unchartered strip of coast
visited by Stefansson, as head of the
Canadian Arctic expedition. No harm
will come to the Polar Bear, in the
opinion of marine men.
Veterans OF The Ice.
Capt. Girls Goodmansen, skilled in
the tricks of ice travel, is in command
of the Polar Bear. He is mpani-
ed by Einar Olsen, trader, and three
sailors. The Belinda, supposed to
be icebound near the Polar Bear, is
commanded by Capt. Arnold Castel,
who took Stefansson on his long east
ern voyage along the Arctic Coast of
the continent
The Polar Bear carries cargo of
furs worth $4,000 or more in the
opinion of other traders.
