FRIDAY JULY 15, 1921. HEROIC MOTHERS. Heroism is the salt that keeps humanity from rotting. Not the peetacular kind that makes the commons gape; but the unknown, unseen kind, done for Itself alone, for the eye of God and the satisfaction of a noble self-respect. Think of the unnoted and unnumbered act.? of heroism or the part of mothers! These alone would save the world, as ten good men would have saved Sodom. Look (and If you seek you shall find) at the numberless deeds of self-sacrlflco among the poor, the self-renunciations of the rich, the helpfulness of fellow workmen, the splendid courage of men and women that they often conceal with a sense of shame! True, friend pessimist, humanity may bo Just mud, dirt, earth; but all through It sparkles the pure and priceless gold of heroIsm. Summer furs mean death to thousands of animals. In SO years, says a naturalist, the fur-bearing animals "will be gone. Is the pleasure of wearing furs In summer worth this sacrifice? In cold weather furs are a legitimate accessory to human clothing. Were this their only use the existence of the wild animals whose pelts human beings covet would not be seriously threatened. Hut thut cruelty of vanity, which Is no less cruel becauso unthinking, has caused a demand for furs which, if unchecked, will soon extinguish the natural fur bearers, says Chicago News. Summer furs, particularly useless and the cause of much humor, are a less humorous matter to the wild life struggling for existence. It Is to be hoped that the fashion of wearing furs in summer will soon pass. Yap Is a little coral island lying lust north of the equator in" the papule ocean southeast of the Philippines, and so located as to be at the cross roads between America and the Asiatic coast from Chlua to the ex trenie tip of the Malay peninsula, n Itself It has no value, wants notli.n from the world, and has nothing to give to the world. Its value Is in Its location. It is a converging point of trade routes, a kind of spying post from which to watch the world's commerce with tti southern Orient. .Wherever ships plow the waters upon recognized trade lanes cables run beneath the waters, and the intelligence transmitted over these wires governs the water-borne commerce. Now and then it happens that no crooked Juror, no Äiinsy technicality, liO lying witness, no slobbering emotionalist, no conscientious objector, no pot of honey, no halr-spliitlng apellate Judge, no yielding executive, intervenes to save the murderer, und he goes to his doom in a community where a hundred cold-blooded assassins, saved by the pranks of fate, walk the highways In the light of freedom, remarks George M. JJulley In Houston Post, leaving Oml alone to turn Ills awful gaz upon the brand of eternal Infamy that sears their guilty souls. One pessimist goes so far ns to predict that feminism will become martial and militant in f0 years, and will take its place with the heavy artillery. We are still hopeful enough to believe that women will continue to operate the Infuntry branch of the service. A Judce In Brooklyn has come out for a revival of the cat-o'-nlne tails la the punishment of criminals. There la not much likelihood that the idea will be adopted, but the cat-o'-nlne; tails, and several more, has resumed operations on the back fence. Don't waste ywur time pitying men. They don't like It. But If you Just must, turn the floodgates of your pity upon the poor creature who trudges along the highway of life day by day nursing some old fruitless, hopeless hatred In his soul. ; It Is well enough for us to learn that the two ways for the ieople to reduce federal taxation are to retire the war debt as rapidly u:? possible and stop calling oa congress to appropriate money for every conceivable thing. , Doctor Einstein nnr predict a shifting of the sun's rays towards tle' red end of the spectrum. That, like the complete theory of relativity. Is1 net essential to life, liberty acd the pzrrzlt of eo-ccnt dollar.

GIRLS AND THEIR FRIENDS. Girls, on the whole, are more .prone to make .llght friendships1 than men are. A man may have one or two friend, but they are generally real pals, whereas u .'girl frequently has many acquaintances, and wastes her time over girls who don't matter and don't care a fig for her. In the end she often finds herself friendless In consequence. There are two tests of friendship, and run he they apply to some men ns well. They are "going abroad" mid "getting engaged." Ileap of girls u ho gt engaged drop all their former friends, so that they may devote all their time to the one and only. Such a selfish thing to do. beside being very bad for one and only!. And old friends und they are left out In the cold. The girl who govs abroad Is also guilty of treating her friends badly, says a writer In London Star. In her new surroundings, making newfriends, she forgets the good times she had in the old country, forgets that her letters an eagerly looked for. 1 know many Instances of glrU who are guilty of absolute ingratitude.

When Victoria was queen, doctors and luv men regarded "nerves" as fomcthing entirely within human con-! trol. There was Iben no talk of neurasthenia. TI.c word of that time was hysteria, and the neurotic was merely one who failed in self-control. TIum nnieh injtiMiee was done and nervous disease was excited to inoie vigorous growth, says London Piily Express. The swinging pcn!.:u.:i, however, has Its own perils, and we may now be in langer of encouraging hysteria by mistaking it for neurasthenia. Many eases of mere bad temper are now allowed to strut about as nervous breakdowns. We are apt to think too much about our nerves, and the excuse of "war strain" covers a multitude of weak-kneed follies It would be unfortunate if the last decade were to be Judged by the total of. Its literary outgivings. Hut it would be equally misleading to appraise any other period in the same way. The ages that produced the masters had their small fry, too. Nor are we much alarmed because whole year bv without a masterpiece, süj s l'...iland Oregonian. The average ot cr.durlng books has not been much m ie than one to the century since t!;o ;i.t of preserving thought came into being. And the present century is very young. There nre consolations for Germany In German philosophy, even now. In one of Ms essays 'Arthur 'Schopen hauer suggested that It wn advisable for a man who wished to become steady and successful to go heavily in debt. The per capita war indebted- ' s- of Germany is now said t be A noted English writer, Dr. Arabella Knealy, says girls should develop less muscle and more sense. We take no sides, but we have notlce'd tfiat overrauscied girls rarely like to wield the broom or the rolling pin. And that Is equally true of some who are overbrained. Among steamships arriving in Boston is one carrying a menagerie, using the word in its literal sense as meaning a collection of wild animals. Figuratively it might be applied to travelers on many of t ho steamships reaching America from the Old World. As that $L",W0 is to be paid over to Colombia at the rate of $3,000,H0 a year, we probably can count on the U'l will of that country for nt least half a decade. After that It may be necessary to make new financial nrrangements. We suspect that a great deal of the attractiveness of the South Sea Island books arises from the circumstance that they portray a region where hypocrisy Is unnecessary and where IK'ople do openly what hereabouts they do secretlv. Freight rates on sand nre to he reduced and for the benefit of those who fail to recognize the effect that the reduction will have on the cost of living, It might be pointed out that it should result in cheaper spinach. As the result of a second marriage a Pennsylvania man has a greatgrandchild that is older than his yo.it."ef daughter. Here is relativity that .makes the Einstein theory look Ii' e ehihl's p!;lV.

WRITES FINIS TO GUFFEY'S CAREER

Wall Street Once More Puts Her Quietus on Man Who Was Too Ambitious. HIS STORY IS SEIISÄTIOIIÄL Ntphtw of Colonel GufTty, Who Mad and Lost Many Fortun, Himself Old Some Very Spectacular Thing With Oil Stock. New York. When the directors" re signed the other day and the Tidewater Oil company, a Standard Oil subsidiary, thus got control of the Guffey-GIllesple Oil company, Insiders knew- Wall street once more had writ ten "finis" to the career of a man who "bit off more than he could chew." The victim was Joe Guffey, more formally Joseph F. Guffey of Pittsburgh, and fully described thus: President of the Guffey-GIllespIe Oil company, with leases covering 220,000 acres in the Mid-Continent and Texas fields. . President of the Atlantic Gulf Oil corporation, controlled by the Atlantic, Öulf & West Indies Steamship lines and operating around Tamplco, President of the Colombia syndicate, controlled by Guffey-GIllesple and "Agwl" and owning a million acres of oil lands along the Magdalena river in South America. Director of Reliance Life Insurance company, and several Pittsburgh banks. Democratic national committeeman from Pennsylvania, promoter and "angel" of A. Mltchel Palmer's last presidential boom. Former director of sales for the alien property custodian. Uncle Lot Many Fortune. Back of this announcement lies n story seldom equaled In American business and political biography. It parallel the story of another Guffey of a preceding generation. For Joe Guffey Is a nephew of old Col. James M. Guffey, also of Pittsburgh, said to have made and lost more fortunes In oil than any other person In the United States. By 1919, when the partnership was reorganized as the Guffey-GIllesple Oil company, it had become one of the largest In the mldcontinTmt field. In addition, Guffey & Gillespie, with other Pittsburghers, acquired 125,000 acres of oil lands In Colombia, and the Colombia syndicate was formed. . , , Then "Agwl" entered the Meklcari field, organized the Atlantic Gulf Oil company, and elected Guffey president. Boosted Stock to $30. Last summer Guffey found the bears out gunning for Guffey-GIllesple stock, although It had earned ?9 a share the year before. Guffey began the fight which ended Tuesday In total defeat. Putting In almost every dollar he had and borrowing $2,000,000, he formed a pool to "peg" the stock with New York and Pittsburgh friends. Late In February Guffey'a pool tried to rout the bears and boosted the stock from 22 to 30. The effort exhausted his strength, and the bears, buying In New York and selling by wire in Pittsburgh, flooded the latter market. When the price reached 20 the nttsburgh banks called their loans. The Tidewater Oil company took over the stock held as collateral and bought enough more to. give it voting control. Guffey, Gillespie and the old directors attempted to fight for places In the reorganized company. Tidewater asked for their resignations, and called for a receiver. NAVY PERFECTS STAR SHELL Success Marks Its Use as a Substitute for Searchlight to Locate Enemy at Sea. Washington. Extensive experiments to develop the use of "star shells" as a substitute for searchlights In searching for enemy craft are being conducted by the Navy department with what some officers describe as considerable success. A "flashless" powder Is being used in propelling the shells from the guns. The shells llght up the sea for a wide area and officers explain that. If they can be projected without a betraying flash from the ship firing them, they will be a far advance over the searchlight, as the beams from the latter betray the exact locntlon of the ship projecting them. It Is said that experiments have now reached the point where "star shells" that will illuminate for several minutes a great area of the sea far distant from the firing ship have been perfected, and along with them a powder which shows no flame or flash when the "star shells" are projected from the ship. For guns of three Inches or smaller, the riew system Is said to work almost perfectly, but In the large guns It Is understood that all of the flash of discharge has not yet jen eliminated. Bring Out Hoarded Gold. London. The widespread destitution caused by unemployment here Is hi inging out the gold hoarded by many persons In more prosperous1 times. There has been a most noticeable Inreae In the number of sovereigns and half-sovereigns In circulation In the last few weeks. Previously it was only on rare occasions that a sovereign or Lu'.f socu iij was tendered.

Wool Clip of Weit. Winnipeg, Man. The wool clip for western Canada this' year will be In the neighborhood of 5,000,000 pounds. Alberta's wool clip is estimated at 2,200,000, which is about the same n last year. Manitoba, Saskatchewan iand British Columbia are expected t( contribute about 3.000,000 pounds .t the total. ' Q Explorer Decries Mannish , Garb of London Women London. British women are losing womanliness by adopting the dress as well as the habits of men, according to Mrs. Boslta Forbes, the famous explorer. While clergymen are denouncing women for drinking, smoking and swearing Mrs. Forbes deplores most the custom of cutting off the hair and the adoption of mannish garb. 'Women should keep their womanhood," said Mrs. Forbes. "It Is certainly better to be a perfect )mnn than an Imperfect mnn.' KIND TO HIS RELATIVE "Ma, Is Mr. Fullhoute very old?" No, dear; why do you akt" "I think he must be, 'cause I heard pa say last night that he raised hla ante." Tests Wine in Divorce . Case, Asks Nominal Fee Omaha, Xeb. J. T. Bohan. Omaha real estate man, was required to sample 700 gallons of old wine. Acting as "referee" In the divorce case of Mr. and Mrs. Charles IUnos, he was requested by attorneys to ascertain If the wine was In good condition. In the divorce case Uenas, according to attorneys, had agreed at the time of an out-of-court property settlement to take "everything In the cellar." The wire, which the Hen'as couple had made together, was five years old. Some .of It was seven years. Bohan reported the wine In "excellent condition" and Stated that his fee would be "nominal." The facf that the Japanese have ordered a battleship to be built In an American shipyard Is an Indication that they do not eapeet to start a war with this country for a year or 60 anyway.
