WOMAN, AGED 75,
 RUNS AWAY FROM
 PORTLAND HOME
WANTED A CHANCE TO SEE A LITTLE OF WORLD-NO
 QUARREL AT HOME

MOUNT VERNON, June 26-A lit tie gray-haired woman, about seventy five years of age, with a determined air, walked in upon Ensign McAbee of the local Salvation Army corps, one da ylast week, with the evident de- termination of paying long visit.
 She was very non-committal and explained that she was on her way to the Skagit poor farm which she pre- ferreI to any other institution she had heard about, and that she was real anxious to get settled there.
 When questioned regarding her name she said it was Mrs. Smith, and that she came from up north. Altho nicely dressed she had only about a dollar in money.
 When the Salvation lassies grew discouraged with obtaining any furth- CT information, they called in Rev. A.. W. Wilson, commissioner of carities.
 The visitor stubbornly maintained silence when efforts were made to have her tell who her relatives were and where she had been staying. "On a farm near Burlington" was her on- ly answer, but she refused to give the names cf the people she had visited

MICE, OWL AND GROUSE
 ENACT TAR BABY" ROLE

VANCOUVER, B. C., June 25-Re- mindful of the fable of the tar baby was the spectacle of forty wood mice, eight young grouse and an owl, i'm movable on the only roadbed of the Malahat drive outside of Victoria, B. c. capital on Vancouver island.
 During the hot sunshine the victims became imbedded in the newly-laid oil surface. The grouse, crossing the road in the wake of the parent bird, sank into the soft mass and became fast. The parent bird using it's wings, won it's way clear of the sticky substance. As darkness crept in the wood mice hopped out along the road, only to fall in the same sticky mass.
 The owl, seeing the mice and with visions of gorgeous banquet, alight- ed on the road, only to become prisoner like the rest. Road repairers freed the owl, which staggered to- ward the nearby woods with difficulty.

INGENIOUS DEVICES USED
 DEFEAT vOLsTEAD ACT

SPOKANE, June 25-Stringent prohibition enforcement in Spokane has brought about a situation where vendors of illicit liquor and rum run ners are resorting to mechanical de- vices of elaborate and complicated de- sign to aid them in evading arrest, according to city and federal officials.
 Recent investigations conducted by the officials have uncovered numer- ous and widely varying schemes, they say, all of which function with the same purpose, that of providing quick and satisfactory elimination of levi dence."
 One of the most intricate devices uncovered by the officers consisted of a copper container placed over the sewer in the basement of building where a "soft drink parlor" was To- cated. A regulation water pipe led into the container and inside the pipe was copper pipe for conveying the liquor small enough to allow free passage of water between the two.
 When tap in the store was turned on without pressing one of two but tons, the liquor would run into the sewer. By pressing one button anc turning the faucet, liquor ran from the tap. When the other button was used, in connection with tho faucet ordinary water was obta.neo.
 Police officials claim they have evi- dence to show that number of car, penters and tinsmiths in and near the city, haev flourished to the extent oi becoming wealthy by manufacturing and installing these automatic evi dence destroyers.

RESCUE CIRCLE FORMED
 TO AID UNHAPPY SPIRITS

LONDON, June 25-A "rescue cir cle" for suffering spirits undergoing punishment in the next world has been started by Sir Conan Doyle and Lady Doyle.
 The "circle", Sir Arthur declared, interviews these stricken spirits. Each spirit comes in turn and receives in structions as to what to do to be happier in the hereafter.
 "There is no torture in the next world" Sir Arthur continued. "There is no hell, but a dark life, a sad life full of remorse, full of bitterness for those who have not risen above the material in their earthly life"
 Such spirits, he declared, were still earthbound and it is to make their lot happier and more bearable that the rescue circles" have been formed.

MODERN MAN TOO SOFT,
 SAYS WOMAN DOCTOR

LONDON, June 25-Modern man, whether he be English or American, is becoming too soft, asserts Dr. Jane Walker, England's most noted physi- clan. She recently caused acute dis tress to "Berties" and "Algernons," who must have their cup of tea before they can confidently face the world each morning, by saying such tea was silly and self-indulgent.
 "The English men are not as bad as the Americans, yet" Dr. Jane remark ed, "but they are getting there."
 "Take the Englishman's cold tub, once historic and universal in this country. It is rapidly going out of fashion.
 Another sign of growing softness is spats. It is all right for an old man of sixty to wear spats, but not for anyone younger.
 No words fit young men who go and have their hands manicured. It is bad enough to wear thick gloevs." /"
