HOT SPRINGS DISCOVERED
 NEAR MOUNT kATMAl

In writing to J. F. Hannon, Roy Gilley, one of the best known guides to the Westward, and whose home is at Ouzinkie, tells of discovering hot springs in the country that faces Fri dent volcano and Katmai Pass, about mile from the Valley of Ten Thous- and Smokes. They are boiling hot and the smokes appear as vigorous as ever and from present indications will last several years. MT. Gilley mo- tified the National Geographic society which is particularly interested in discoveries of this nature.
 MT. Gilley states that very few peo- pie went to the Valley this summer which, he says, was probably due to the transformation which had been given out in the past regarding local conditions. The Norman Dawn mo- tion picture company composed of Iseventeen people including a nine months old baby, four women and one man siXty-seven years old appar- ently had no difficulty either enter ing or leaving the valley.

SEWARD'S PET GOAT SHOT THROUGH RIBS;
 SUFFERS, THEN KILLED

The little kid goat belonging to Richard Prosser was stolen recently and taken out to Mile 20 in an auto and left there with bullet wound in his side. Upon learning of the goats disappearance, MT. Prosser immediate ly made vigilant search of nearby lots without avail. Later he learned that the kid had been taken out of town, and he hurriedly made the trip to Mile 20 and found the goat and brought him into town. At the time MT. Prosser was unaware of the az ony the goat has been going thru un- til the following day when he noticed blood trickling down the side of the animal and upon close diagnosis of the spot found that it had been shot

 No clue has been found as to who actually did the shooting, and as the animal was a perfect pet among the youngsters, MT. Prosser said the goat had been shot without provocation.

his horse comfortable under the trees.
1t did not take the prince long TO
fall asleep. in spite Of his strange sur
roundings, for he had travelled far
that day. How long he slept he did
not know, but when he woke the
sound of music fell upon his ears.
Softly opening the door, he looked
upon strange sight room full of
beautiful maidens dressed in blue were
dancing and swaying to the music,
though where the light came from or
the music he could not make out.
Prince Arno knew he must be in
an enchanted castle and that some
strange spell was upon the place, and
he was determined to find out some
thing about it.
"Holdp' he cried, rushing into the
midst of the dancing group, and at
the same time he caught one of the
beautiful maidens by her arm.
In an instant the scene had changed.
Not maiden was there. The light
had gone and the music streamed
through the windows. Prince Arno
saw that he held by one wing poor,
struggling, frightened bluebird.
Just then the door opened, and in
came the old witch. you have rescued
our princess" she said. "Now, If you
are brave enough you can save her
and restore her to her former shape"
"And what am to do to break
the spell that holds herY inquired
the prince.
The old witch touched with her cane
the bare fireplace and instantly there
blazed bright fire. Throw her into
the fire." she said.
This was not easy for the prince to
do, for he was a kind-hearted man and
could not bear to give pain to anyone.
"Y0u hesitate?" said the witch.
"They all do; no one has been brave
enough to cast the bluebird into the
flames"
Prince Arno hesitated no longer. If
this was the way the spell was to be
broken the bird must be sacrificed, and
into the flames he threw the bird
But instead of being burned, out
Of the fire there arose a beautiful
maiden, the most beautiful Prince
Arno had ever seen, dressed in gown
the color of the flames, as though they
had wrapped themselves about her.
Prince Amos heart told him he had
found the bride he sought, and the
old witch explained that she was a
princess that had fallen under the
spell of a wicked ogre, who had
changed her into bluebird, to remain
one until prince should rescue her in
the way he had done.
II could only break the spell that
held her at Midnight said the witch,
"and then only for an hour, when all
the bluebirds around could be changed
into maidens"
The next day Prince Arno took the
princess with him to his father and
the king gave grand feast that lasted
for week to celebrate the marriage
of his heir.

THE BLUEBIRD PRINCESS

PERHAPS If Prince Arno had
been a poor youth he would not
nave found life such bore and he
might have married as his father the
KING had often asked him to do, and
settle down at home.
But he was prince, and he did
not fall in love with any princess that
his father had chosen, and so one day
ne started off on journey, telling
the king that when he found the girl
ne could love he would return.
The poor king was very unhappy.
Tor he thought he should never see
his son again, because if he could not
love any Of the beautiful Processes

sure he would find none in his travels.

- VI HINTS ON
CARE OF CLOTHES
English Writer Tells Hor0 to
Preserve Garments.

Good clothes need care. Many
man spends much money ON his per-
sonal appearance, but is so untidy or
so neglectful of the proper care of his
clothes that very soon expensive suits
become shabby.
1t is never a good policy to wear the
same suit consistently throughout the
week-if 1t Is brought into use alter
nately with another it will last as long
again. for when "off duty" the wool has
chance to regain Its vitality. The
same Idea is at the back of the theory
that man should have two sets Of
razors-when the one is resting the
steel can recover It's temper.
If clothes are to be preserved they
must be kept free of dust, says Fout-
hill Beckford In the London Mail, and
this can only be done by thorough
brushing every time they are taken off.
All pockets should be emptied, for,
strange as 1t may seem, 1t is the little
collection of grit and tobacco that rot
the fabric. OF course, the other great
hole makers are moths and these must
and spots of grease which attract them
and encourage them to feed. Constant
brushing and plenty of fresh air are the
great enemies of moths and will put
them to rout every time.
Some people find difficulty in remov-
ing stains, and therefore, few hints
as to the proper antidotes may not
come amiss.
Perhaps the most common stain of
all is that of ink. Here ] would adj
wise that the spot be soaked In strong
salt water and rinsed in a solution OF
ammonia. The salt changes the nitrate
of silver in the Ink into chloride, and
this is naturally dissolved by the am
monia. Ammonia will also remove In
delible pencil, and, II followed by
wash of solution Of soda, will also take
out all grass stains.
OIL and grease should be treated
with benzine covered With Fuller's
earth or powdered chalk and left In
the sun for few hours
For rust / recommend lemon juice
and salt or oxalic acid. This last, how
ever, requires great care, for IL not
properly used 1t Injuries the fabric.
Tar should be softened with glycerin,
anointed with benzine, and then washed
in soda water and ammonia.
AS regards cleaning, the dry process
Is best, for water should not be used
on woolens. Moreover, great attention
must be paid to the pressing. If the
iron is too hot all the life will be taken
out Of the fabric.
1t will not be necessary to press
trousers with great yigor, if only they
are given a little care and attention
when they are removed from the body.
They should be brushed and then hung
on trouser hanger, or, If this is not
available, over tall chair with the
body toward the ground.

DOMINEERING

OFF THE boys in Centre Newton
" Brown was the brains and Smith
the boss. Brown had been taken once
to the theater to see Julius Caesar ;
and after that he always said that.
when he was old enough, he would
write plays like Shakespeare. Smith
laughed. Then Brown said that one
day he would write play with Smith
In 1t.
The years passed. As Centre New
ton was used to Smiths putting
through "his'' game while he was still
boy, so everyone thought 1t natural
that he should find the choice job in
the city when he left high school. Then
he courted Lucy Gray, a whirlwind
campaign. OF course Lucy married
him. Smith was well used, by this
time, to having his own way At the
wedding he reminded Brown of that
childhood determination to write
play-"And remember to put me IN
itp he ended loosely.
Then Brown went away. It was fif-
teen years before he came back to
Centre Newtown. In the newspaper,
the morning of his arrival, he read
head lines that featured a familiar
name. "John Smith," went the
caption, pirate" Brown decided that
the time for his play had arrived. The
same evening he called at Smiths
mansion. The room in which he wait
ed for his host had deep bay win
dow, and In it, SO noiselessly had
Brown entered, two boys of thirteen
and fourteen went on whispering in
guarded voices.
"He won't know anything about It,"
urged the first.
"You know what he is when he
doesn't get his own way said the
second.
Brown coughed and two guilty con-
spirators emerged. When they saw
Brown, they looked relieved. "Oh
We thought you were FatherP said
they.
Then Smith came in 1t was the
same old Smith. Before Brown had
time to speak. he was sitting In
chair chosen by Smith. listening to
Smith talk. Although he never smoked,
he found himself lighting one OF
Smiths dangerous-looking black CT
gars. After a while he brought him.
self to enquire for Lucy. There was
q pause, and then an annoyed express
sion crossed Smiths face. You
haven't heard?' said he. MY wife
died several years ago."
Brown was quite unconscious Oh
what passed after that for some min
utes. Then he realized that Smith
was asking him question. 1t was
painted by that Frenchman who did
30 many portraits in this country,
Smith was saying as he pulled aside
curtain. There before Brown stood
Lucy Gray after three years OF mar
ried life. Brown almost groaned aloud.
He was reminded by some trick OF
memory of q wounded heron he had
once found in the surf on the beach.
AS he went slowly down Smiths
broad stairs, Brown knew that the
plot Of his play was finished. AS ne
remembered the newspaper headlines
and the frightened children and the
old portrait, he knew that his play
would be tragedy. Smiths habit OF
having his own way had cheated HIM
self most of all.

THE POLICE

"EV7E WANT efficiency in the police department declare
w Mayor Shank and Chief Rikhof on the average Of once
a week. And then they get busy and do something that can re
suit in little less than Generalization of the department.
Inspector of Detectives John Mullin was reduced by the
board of safety Friday without having been given an opportun-
ity to appear and defend himself. No good reason for the action
was given to the public and none at all was given to Mulin.
The policemen who answered the call to the Ayres robbery
permitted three of the four robbers to escape. Surely Mullin
should not be held personally responsible for this. Mullin is said
to have given an attorney permission to see the robber who
was captured. Surely prisoners, even safe blowers, have the right
to confer with their attorneys.
1t is hard to believe that the reduction of Mullin resulted
from these things. 1t is much more likely that Bill Armitage or
someone else in the Shank administration did not care to see
him at the head of the detective department any longer.
We might add in passing that the board Of safety did have
the good judgment to pick a good man in Mullins place. Jerry
Kinney has been a policeman and detective for many wears and
knows as much as any man in indianapolis about the 2eration
