SPRING WEIRD IDEAS.
Inventors" Relieve Monotony
 for British Commission.
One Would Freeze the Clouds So Guns Could Be Mounted on Them to
 EepeI Air Attacks.

London.-The report recently issued by the royal commission on awards to inventors calls to mind both the new powerful engines of destruction the war brought into being, and also the many weird and impracticable ideas advanced by inventors" who had evolved curious plans for winning the war. A one-time member of the war inventions department of the min istry of munitions told of one man who sent in an invention which he said could freeze clouds so that guns could be mounted on them for firing at aircraft and bombing enemy lines. He was kindly but firmly led to the door, but before he left managed to explain scheme he had for suspend ing heavy guns from captive balloons.
 One inventor wished to project heat waves against airplanes and so de- stroy them. Part of his plan was to set up electric fields that would para lyze the magnetos of enemy airplanes when they attempted an attack. None of these enthusiasts seemed to realize the limitations of their suggestions. A man planned to attach searchlights to anti-aircraft guns, and so fire along the beam of light. He neglected the fact that the path of a shell and the path of ray of light are somewhat different.
 Among other weird inventions was one for throwing live wire cables against the enemy, using rockets to get the cables across No Mans Land. It was suggested that a tunnel be built all the way into Germany, and also that trained cormorants be sent to pick the mortar out of the chim- neys of the Krupp factories at Essen.

LEPRoSY OIL CURE SUCCESS
creases-To Abandon 1t s in Few Years.

Honolulu, T. 1.-The Catholic leper mission on the island of Molokai, where Father Damien passed the greater part of his life and eventually died of the disease, and where Brother Dutton and others of his faith now are at work, probably will be abandoned in the course of a few years, owing to the great success of the chaulmoogra oil treatment of the lepers, according to a statement by Brother Louis Lei son, who for twenty-two years has been stationed at the leper mission.
 Five years ago the mission at Ka- laupa, island of Molokai, had from 125 to 130 inmates, while today it has but 63, Brother Louis said. Virtually no new cases have been received during the last few years.
 The mission, which was established in the sixties and in which the Catho- lie priests shortly after took up their work, is supported by appropriations from both the territorial and federal governments. All leper work on the island. including that of the mission, is directly under the supervision of the territorial board of health.

THE SOUL.

Y FIGGER the soul of a man Is the same
 underneath of a coat CT shirt, An l fgger the heart thet pumps life through his frame is the same under almonds CT dirt. Fer his face may be homely an tough be his hide an busted the bridge of his beak,
 But the Soul of the euss is a-settin inside an awaitin' it's moment to speak. The Soul of the cuss is a-settin' way back. until maybe the lobster fergits There is any such thing as a Soul in the shack to take note of his devilish fits. But amuck with the gang, on the long mooch alone, then it follows his foot steps to see; God Knows thet I tell what I know, fer my own it has risen an spoken to me. It has risen an spoken its speech by the light of the fickerin flame of the fire It has come with it's voice where the lamps glittered bright on mob thet was drunk with desire. Fer I know not the hour thet the visitor brings-in the night, in the day, 1t is near;
 It has come when no step stirred the still ness of things, 1t has come when a hundred were here. l y the road I have travelled the years thet are gone; In the springtime of youth it was there when I sowed In the fields thet was yellow with dawn. It has followed my trail in the woods an the town, 1t has stood by my side at the bar
 down, an has Judged of my deeds as they are So it stood by my side in that old-time affair when the night turned to red in my eyes, An it knows jest how much of my story was square an it knows jest how much of 1t lies, Fer it saw the blow fall, an it saw the steel shine, an it saw the thing leap to it's goal You can fool all the world with yarn such as mine, but you can't tell a lie to your Soul I have spit on the doors of their law maxim shops, I have spit an have laffed at the law; l have drunk with their sheriffs an played with their cops, with my life as the stake in the draw. I have travelled their streets in the glare of the sun, while the he-hounds were hot on the track I have shaken them all, shaken all but the one, but the one thet will never turn back. Fer the world may fergit, CT the world may not know, CT the world it may know an not care, But forever beside me wherever I go still another walks close who was there. Yes, the deed may be done an the deed may be hid, may be hid by the SHOWS an the sod But the thing thet l planned an the thing thet I did one witness will whisper to God. They know me back home as a man who is dead an who passed in his checks as he should, An I answer up here to a new name in sted thet In every way is as good. have shaken the teeth of the hounds of the past forgotten like all men who die, But I know thet my Soul will be there at the last-fer my Soul knows thet am still l.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"BOLS LSHEVIkl."

Y FITTED bodily from the Rus L sian where the term means the left or radical wing of the political party as opposed to the ''mensheviki' or conservative element, 'Bolsheviki" has been imported into America together with many of the false and un- sound doctrines to which it's members subscribe.
 Originally the term was anal agous to and had no more sin ister meaning than radical" as used in connection with British politics. A Bolshevik was one who opposed the conservatives not necessarily an advocate of arson and bloodshed, but per son who believed in a progress siVe policy instead of following reactionary course. Until the overthrow of the Ro- manoff' dynasty, the Bolshe- wiki did not number anarchists and nihilists in their ranks. These disturbers of the peace were kept under close suryeil- lance by the police and were giv- en no opportunity to ally them selves with any political organ iZation. During the chaos which followed the death of the czar, the extremely radical element came into control and the name Bolshevik fell into disrepute- becoming synonomous with red the red flag having been from time immemorial the sym bol of lawlessness and disorder.

THE RENT COLLECTOR

ID ENT collecting Is a branch of the IN real estate work that appeals to many young women who are interest ed in housing problems and several such have entered it from settlement work The landlords find that women make better rent collectors than men, that they get closer to the tenants, and that they promote better under standing between the parties to the renting business.
 Rent collecting is not a mere turn ing up at the first of the month with the demand for the rent. It is to the interest of the landlord that the kept up, that undesirable tenants be elected, and that the right kind get right treatment. Women are good at getting results in these directions. It is usually the woman of the apartment who pays the rent; it is she who has demand. And she speaks more freely to another woman, and the other woman understands better the usual problems of housekeeping. It works well both ways.
 A rent collector is in a position to know more than most persons about vacant apartments, various types of renters, possibilities of development, bargains. There are really fine busi- ness opportunities in this line, and women should study them.
 After all, it Is women who live in the home and who manage the home. When it comes to homes, women make the better agents and better rent col lectors, and women are entering the new field with enthusiasm

INDIAN PIE:ADS
 FOR FISH RIGHTS
Aged Chief Recalls Treaty Made With the Governor of Wash
 ington in 1855.
CHEERED BY LEGISLATORS
Protests Against Disregard of Pact Which Recognized Right of lndI- ans to Take Salmon in the
 Yakima River.

Olympia. Wash.-Sixty-six years. .aqo in the spray of Prosser falls, an Indian chief and the then governor of Washington respectively pledged their people to abide by pact.
 This pact recognized the perpetual rights of the Yakima tribe to hsh where from time immemorial the red man had taken his salmon.
 The Indians had been reluctant, say ing to Gov. Isaac l. Stevens, put when you are dead, who will bear witness to your promises?" And the governor had replied;
 "I pledge the Americans to keep the promises as long as the mountains stand. as long as the sun shines and the river runs y
 Calling upon these mute witnesses and summoning the spirits of the dead, Chief Meninock of the Yakimas has just made a speech of protest at the whites violation of that treaty, in the state senate chamber here, which is the most dramatic recorded in it's annals.
 Boy When Treaty Was Made.
 And that speech, which would do aredit to the historic orators of his race, with it's sharp challenge to the white mans honor, bids fair to correct a wrong the Indians had hitherto borne in silence.
 Meninoek was boy when the trea- ty was made. He had stood attentive ly beside his father on that occasion. Today he is so, and wrinkled. Much water has run over PrOsser falls since then, and the salmon have dwindled. Also, the whites have enacted fish and, game laws which conflict so with thet treaty of 1855 that Meninoek wasI recently arrested for taking salmonl from the Yakima river.
 A few days ago Chief Meninock andI other tribal leaders, together with | their wives and children, appeared atI the imposing state lodge of the whiteE men at the state capitol here to pro-I test. In their feathered and beadedl trappings and scarlet blankets theys projected vivid picture of the pastI into the busy legislative councils asI the chief rose to speak in dignifedl protest.
 Calls Upon Spirits.
 My heart is glad today" said Meni-I mock with solemn mien and sonorouss tongue, "because you have said youl would listen to what we have to say It makes me feel that you want to dol right by my people whose privileges have been taken and who are sick and sad for being deprived of the food which has given them health andl strength.
 T call upon the spirits of the dead and upon those witnesses which Gov! enor Stevens himself invoked to tes- tify that I speak the truth-for thes white-topped mountain still stands and the river still runs over the fallsi where the salmon In season come tot leap"
 When the old chief sat down among his people the assembled legislators broke into storm of approving cheers, and the senate committee which has the Indians case under ad- visement immediately went on record as favoring the claims of Meninock and his folk, as included in a bill al- ready introduced.
 'White men," said the chief as he marched away, "are not so much dis honest as they are sometimes short in memory"

Something to
 Think About THE JOB AND THE MAN D.. E A Wnllo-
TELLING IS SELLING
ByF. A. Walker

TN THESE days of time-saving de- \ vices, money-saving inventions and efort-saving ideas the thinking man finds much to interest him when he hears another thinking man compress a big thought into the fewest possible words.
 The literary man has a name for these examples of condensed wisdom. He calls them "epigrams."
 "Epigram" is an interesting word. You can spend a useful fifteen min utes studying out in some good die tionary just what it meant in the original Greek and how it came to have an entirely different meaning in English.
 One of the most condensed and meaningful phrases l have ever seen written or heard spoken was used by a great editorial writer who boiled down a whole sermon into three words when he said Repetition is reputa- tion." That is sound, unassailable truth in the fewest possible words.
 Alongside that condensation of wis dom have filed away in my memory the three-word statement that I heard an advertising solicitor use the other day in convincing a prospective buyer of publicity that advertising would be the best possible investment that he could make.
 These were the three words he used :: 'Telling Is selling"
 That comes pretty near reducing the statement of what advertising is to the fewest possible words and stating it in the simplest possible way.
 *
 To a greater or less degree every human being is an advertiser.
 The man or woman who dresses well advertises prosperity.
 The man or woman who uses the proper wogds in the proper places and shows a broad acquaintance with facts advertises education.
 The man with the light step, quick movement, unceasing activity, adver- tises energy, probably ambition.
 You say q am good judge of hu- man nature" That is only another way of stating that you are an accu- rate reader of the personal advertising of individuals.
 Every day we unconsciously tell" ourselves-advertis ourselves-by our actions, by our habits, by our conver- sation. Everyday we unknowingly succeed in or fail in "selling" our selves.
 If telling is selling" 1t is equally true that "Overtelling is underselling ,"
 Nobody ever permanently gained anything by wandering from the truth.
 Boosting is only a polite name for lying.
 Any buyer of men or merchandise would rather be surprised by finding was than to discover that it failed to come up to what he had a reasonable right to expect.
 If you have occasion to talk about yourself tell just what you are.
 If you find it necessary to sell your self do not bargain for more than you can deliver.
 "Telling is selling" but the telling must be the truth and the selling must be on the basis of turning over just what you have agreed to-of hav- ing the goods test 100 per cent of what they were represented to be.
