WHY--
Il Means Good Fortune to
Dream of Peas.

Every known vegetable has mean
ing to the mystic interpreters when II
appears In a dream and with regard to
NEST of them the oracles are definite
enough. But with regard to peas the
interpretations are rather confusing
and at times contradictory. The great
majority of the mystics, however. see
In a dream of peas fortunate omen
for those engaged In business.
Many of the oracles speak OF
dream of eating peas as that most Ia
vorable for business success and make
no mention of dream OF merely see
ing peas without eating them. One or
two qualify the good omen Of dream
Of eating peas by specifying that they
must seem luscious 10 the taste" In
order that the dream may attain Its
full bene.icence These same oracles
insist that the peas eaten In the dream
be cooked for. say they, to dream Of
eating raw peas implies yexations and
dlsappointments.
One or two lonely prophets say that
to see green peas In dream Is sign
of good health, but If they are cooked
II is a sign of illness. This with re.
gard to the being cooked Is, II will be
seen, at direct variance with the vast
majority of the mystic interpretations.

TRAVEL PICTURES FIR POSTS
Films Embracing One Theusand Top
ice, for Uss Of All Legion
orpanlxa ions.

BY arrangement between the Amer
can Legion and the bureau OF com
mercial economies. the most complete
md valuable CO. lection Of educational
md travel motion picture films In ex-
Silence will be placed at the disposal
II the Legion for free exhibition un-
,ler the auspices Of all posts. The
films, which embrace 1000 separate
topics, are the property Of the bureau,
Al, altruistic institution the sole aim
Ut which Is to advance education and
pride In American institutions.
At the instance of national head
quarters, the bureau has prepared
special catalogue In which each Aim
Is numbered and described. A copy
Of this catalogue will become the prop
erty Of each Legion post. The only
expense attached to posts ordering the
films will be the payment Of express
charges to and from the nearest dis
tributing center Of the bureau. No ad-
mission fee may be charged BY the
post.
A distributing center for the films
will be established In almost every
state. Responsibility for the trans
mission Of the catalogues and the In
formation concerning the location Of
distributing centers to which each
post must apply for films, rests with
the state departments.
The story Of the establishment Of
the bureau of commercial economics
Is that of fulflllment Of vow which
blind man took years ago. should his
sight be restored. DR.. Francis Hol-
ley. the founder and director Of the
bureau. vowed to work for the bet
terment Of mankind when he recov-
cred his sight. and the brueau is the
result.

A discovery may be made photo
graphically by some astronomer this

II will be q star Of the fifteenth magni-

The orbits Of all the planets ex-
cepting Mercury, are nearly perfect

greatly elongated ellipse will strike
one more blow at the nebular hypothe-
sis, which assumes, says Miss Lewis.
that the planets almost circular orbits
are due to the fact that originally they
were thrown on rs rings from q con-
tracing solar nebula.
Irregularities In the motion Of Nep-
tune indicate that the unseen planet IL

ABOUT
BUSINESS

An article in daily newspaper is
noticed, to the effect that business
conditions throughout the country are
not half as bad as some people would
have you believe. The article was
written by financial expert. and he
takes occasion to say that the bust
ness situation is largely "a state Of
mind"
We don't know how much stock the
average man takes In that sort of
reasoning. but we do know that too
much pessimistic talk does have and
is having a bad effect on conditions.
Usually the man who drives ahead In
the belief that things are not as bad
as reported, and who realizes that the
situation In the business world could
be much worse, Is the fellow who Ia
getting along best during these criti-
cal times. The business man, the
laboring man, who stops to worry
about what tomorrow may bring forth.
instead Of making the most of today.
works himself into such state of
mind that he isn't in position to ap-
preciate change for the better when
it comes.
There may be. after all. something
worth thinking about In the statement
that conditions are largely "a state
of mind" At any rate, 1t is worth
while looking around a little and see-
ing II the men who are succeeding
best are the ones who prefer to look
on the bright side. Comparing bust
ness with former years; comparing
this country to Russia; comparing
|Iyour lot with the other fellows, isn't
going to get you very far in the right
direction. Try smiling; try believing
that tomorrow will be better than to-
day. and We fully believe you'll find
business conditions getting better
from the very moment you start to
do 20.

centers In the possibility that the
condemned man would live in con-
slant fear that his next sleep would
be his last. Some predict insanity fol-
lowing days and nights of fighting

death may be postponed. Some pic
ture the condition as torture equaling
early-age barbarity. In no case. how
ever, has effort been made or thought
even been turned, to suggesting pos
sible methods whereby this objection
could be overcome. as for instance the
keeping of the prisoner in an ordi-
nary cell until the appointed time,
putting a sleeping potion In his food
and then carrying him to the death
cell to awake no more. Thought will
undoubtedly bring out many methods
of overcoming the complaint
Another question that presents IT.
self Is this: Would waiting for death
in the gas cell be any more painful
and mind tormenting to a condemned
man than waiting for an appointed
time to walk to an electric chair, or
to the gallows, or to wall in front

reasonable to suppose that convicted

of but a seconds duration. The real
pain consists of mental anguish. and It

and minutes before the actual march |
to the gallows or shooting gallery. Is
1t not reasonable to presume that |
mental anguish is equally as severe
prior to hanging as 1t would be prior
% death by gas? The advantage on
he side of the gas method lies In the
'act that the last moments, when usu
ally a condemned man has to be
ragged to the gallows and undergo
extreme torture while everything is
being gotten ready, the blindfold at
Iached and the rope affixed-under

away with. In the case of hanging.
sleep during the last week Of life is

,austion. 1t will be the same in the

Drs. Il. Christin and F. Navills state
In the Annales dc Medicine (Paris)
that tubercle bacilli enter the body
just as often through the stomach as

assert that these germs can pass
through membranes without leaving a

by the lymph stream to the lungs or to

DEATH By
LETHAL GAS

The Silver Sttae prints in another
column of this issue resume of edi-
torial opinions expressed in the prin-
cipal newspapers of the East, opinions
Of some of the great writer's and
thinkers of the United States. con-
corning the law passed by the last
session. of the Nevada legislature pro-
viding that murderers shall be put to
death by administration of "lethal
gas" These opinions are extremely
interesting anywhere and more par
ticularly in this state because Nevada
is the first state to provide death by
gas.
One outstanding feature of the
whole matter is that the law certainly
advertised Nevada as no, other one
thing has done In long time. except
the Pickford divorce. but that pub
licity was not particularly favorable
to the state. AS 1t is Nevada will be
watched by feature writer's for the
flfst instance Of death by gas. which
will further psychologically cause
people to. commence thinking about
Nevada.
Looking for "lethal" in the diction-
airy, we learn 1t means deadly" or
fatal" Therefore the Nevada law,
by designating "lethal gas" means
any deadly gas, leaving the particular
kind to the judgment Of prison au-
thorities. The war brought out many
deadly gases. and from these It Is
their duty to choose. first learning
from authorities on the subject which
would be most adaptable. We also
learn the dictionary refers to "lethal
chamber. room in which animals are
put to death by the use Of gases"
A preponderance of opinion of
Eastern writer's seems to be that the
gas method Is not as humane as the
slectric chair. In some instances

country, but In most cases after a

Singer viii Start West Before
ousted Spouse Opens in
'Don juan"

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Rumors that
the divorce suit of Lou Tellegen
against Geraldine Farrar had been
staged only for publicity purposes were
dispelled today by expressions from
both camps. The singer and her
"Greek-god" husband seem earnestly
bent on following separate paths.
Miss Farrar weeks ago set today as
the time for her departure to the
Pacific coast for a concert tour. Telle-
gen had expected to open in Don
Juan" last night. 1t was rumored that
the dates were so arranged that she
might see him act. ...
With the announcement that the
opening of Don Juan" had been post
poned until tomorrow, Broadway won
dered II she would wait over.
But yesterday Miss Kettrick. the
singers secretary, said:
Miss Farrar has never had any
intention of seeing Mr.. Tellegen's play.
In setting her date for departure for
the coast she did not consider Mr..
Tellegen or his interests. Miss Farrar
is planning an especially busy fall and
winter"
At the Garrick Theater Tellegen
said:
at is a matter of time until the
divorce is finished. don't want to go
into further discussion. You can un-
derstand."
He smiled and continued:
Eyes, I am very pleased with my
part in Don Juan 1t Is the first
serious thing I've played in for three
years. I rejoice to get back to this
type of play. Don Juan gives q man
a wonderful opportunity to bring out
so many different parts of his nature.
The delay till Wednesday Is annoying.
Everything seemed to be ready, and
