Those who are puzzled to know
what to do with used safety razor
blades may find hint in the follow
ing, says the London Mail. A young
and pretty girl approached Battersea
bridge. She held something tightly In
her left hand. When she reached the
middle Of the bridge she stopped and
looked around.
Only one man was anywhere near,
and he, apparently, was not paying
any attention to her dolngs. In fash
she raised her hand and flung some
thing into the river below. II gllttered
and shone as II fell, and the man,
gazing over the bridge In curiosity,
saw that It was small glass phlnl Of
the sort in which powdered bath salts
are sold, twelve In box. His curlos-
lty overcame him, and he overlook the
girl "Do tell me what you threw into
the river" he begged. my husbands
razor blades" was the astonishing an
swer.

Seems Born Only to
Dance Through Life

A strange creature, the dainty May
fly. One of the strangest things Ii
that 1t eats nothing from Its cradle
to the moment Of Its death.
Thrust into a world where nearly
every living thing is constantly in
search Of food, the May fly goes its
way with never thought Of food,
writes w. A. DuPuy In Nature Maya
zine. Surrounded by creatures that
lie in wait and devour each other, the
May fly eats not nor thinks Of eating.
1t does not even possess mouth with
which It might eat IL 1t felt so dis
posed. II comes into the world with
certain amount Of vitality in Its
frall body, II dances gayly until that
strength is gone, and dies.
Equally strange is the birth Of the
May fly, birth which almost any OBJ
server may witness If he happens to
be sharp-eyed by the waterside almost
anywhere at just the right minute. II
he watches closely he may see many
tiny creatures as big as house flies
emerging from the mud at the bottom
or the lake or stream.

Handshoke Guide to Love

The handshake Is n correct ana In
falllble guide to true love, This II the
contention Of DIR. David V. Bush n
teacher Of applied psychology. "Shakc
hands" he says, "before you stnrt 4
courtship-not because you are to
start something resembling puglllstlc
bout, but because II the hanls don't
IT perfectly, don't start H." Doctor
Bush says "the altar Isn't even n
milestone IN the course OF love: rs
apt to be milestone. A marriage Ger
tlhcate Is no guarantee Of love Mar
rlage, looked Mt as the gonl Of love.
Is apt TO be grave II the game ends
when the knot Ia tied" The exponent
Of applied psychology thinks trouble
can be avoided by proper character
analysis before the courtsllp advances
too far.

Tossed AtDay Fortune
in Playful ScuRling

To have book worth considerably
more than thousand pounds thrown
at ones head is an experience which
does not fall to the lot OF many. II
happened, however, to DR., Adolf Ehren-
felt.
II has Just been announced that the
Hungarian National museum has ac-
quired this book by private treaty. AL
though II was on Sotheby's catalogue
at reserve price of $1,000, 1t is stated
that the price actually paid ls much
In excess Of that sum.
The book is the first printed In the
Magyar tongue, and is known to col
lectors as the Codex Ehrenfelt. It
contains 81 pages and dates from the
year 1890
Its former owner, Doctor Ehren-
felt a Vlennese lawyer, came into pos
session of the book In an unusual way
In 1851 he was student at Nyitra, in
what was then northern Hungary. One
day, while he was wrestling with a
companion, this book was hurled play
fully at his head and he pocketed It.
It was only many years later that he
rediscovered 1t, examined 1t, and be-
came aware Of Its unique character
and great value.-London Tlt-Bits.

Razors and Hot Water

The bureau Of standards says that
there Is no real basis for the state

blade will lnjure the steel from which
II Is made. In general, razors are very
hard. and II Is possible that in some
cases the continued application Of
boiling water would exert slight
tcmperlnG effect. thereby slightly

Of hot-water applications would mere

Crowd Here Saturday
To View Grand Coulee

Several auto loads of visitors,
and big bus with about fifteen
teachers and others interested in
geology. came down from Spo-
kane last Saturday to spend the
day in the coulee. The party
was in charge of Prof. ]. G..
McMacken. professor of physics
at the Lewis and Clark high
school of Spokane and also in
charge of the extension course.
The visitors were met here by
F. w. McCann. president of the
commercial club, who accom-
panied them to dry falls, and
where both he and Prof. Nc
Macken gave interesting talks on
the wonderful formations exist
ing here. Part of the visitors
came through the coulee, going
to the head of it from Almira,
while the party in the big bus
made a trip up the coulee as far
as Steamboat rock after their
trip to the dry falls.
The following is part of the
Spokesman Reviews comment
on the trip:
They learned that ice had COW
cred the site of Spokane and
Spangle and the region between
to a depth of 1000 feet. But this
was perhaps 25O,OOO to 900, 900
years ago. AS they rode, they
saw evidence that hills like those
of the Palouse country had oc-
cupied the flat region at Medical
Lake, Rearden, Davenport, Will
bur, Creston and elsewhere until
the ice ground them off. The
ancient courses of several great
rivers that left this region were
indicated to the students.
What has been regarded as one
of the greatest waterfalls in the
world, several times greater than
Niagara, was seen soon after the
luncheon at Coulee. It has been
referred to as Grand falls over
which water flowed for a width
of two miles and to depth of
so feet. The least drop was 45O
feet and the longest 125 feet

The selection of a chairman of

planning to name an advisory
committee of seven to aid in the
formulation of it's duties and it's
work. This advisory committee

State Capitol Letter

Political prognosticators suf-
fered a rather severe jolt during
the last week when Gov. Roland
H. Hartley made several changes
in his immediate official family
and finally selected the long
looked for tax commission of
three. The appointment of G..
w. H. Davis Of Tacoma as Di-
rector of Efficiency was an up
set in the dope sheet. This is
especially true when the politi-
clans remembered in making
their guesses that the director of
efficiency was to be the budget
director of the state under the
budget act adopted at the last
session.
The business men who have
been watching the Hartley ad'
ministration, expected to find
him appointing some prominent
expert accountant to this place
or at least a well-trained bust
ness executive and auditor, as
his right hand man in finances
during his survey of the state in
stitutions. The appointment of
Mr.. Davis as Director of Effici-
ency was a surprise although it
was generally conceded he was
in line for some kind of a plum
in the Hartley administration.
AS the Collector of the Inheri-
tance taxes of the state, Davis
made a brilliant record and saved
the state hundreds of thousands
of dollars which would otherwise
have escaped. At the same time
he uncovered and broke up a
clique of heir" finders who
have been cheating the state out
of property which would have
reverted if it were not for their
activity.
Gov. Hartley named as his tax
commission, Samuel H. Chase,
Assessor of King county, Donald
G. McInnes, of Port Angeles,
farmer and business man, and
Fred G. McBroom of Spokane,
pioneer business man and bank er
of that city, Chase drew the
six year term, McBroom the four
year term, and McInnes the two
year term. All three men are
above middle age. The commits

are several lakes. beds for which
were secured out by the falls,
The first one is filled with fresh
water and others with alkali and
soap.
The students drove up the
coulee to Steamboat rock, so
named because of it's form. The
rock is mile long and half a
mile wide and was cut out by an
ancient river. For so miles up
the coulee the cliffs rise to a
height of 800 to 1000 feet above
the highway.

to show results of this training.
The grade and high school squads
work together in some of the
sevents, like practicipg the start

has been organized to meet three
times a week from three-thirty

this class are taking it.
Our English class wrote a de.
scription of a "Birdbill' yester-
