; The Beggar's Curse ' , "Lenin, appeals to the toiling industrial
workers and agriculturists of the world' for aid
required for starving Russians," says the Chi-i cago Tribune. "The inference is that the toiling business men, who, as a matter of fact, will give
the greater part of the American fund, are in
vited to keep their tainted money. y "Aid will go to the needy Russians from cap
italist America in spite of Lenin, but his appeal
is illuminating as to the workings of a fanatic's
mind. Lenin calls for aid 'from the 'toiling in
dustrial Workers and agriculturists,' and takes this occasion to tell them they are themselves
'everywhere oppressed by capitalism.'
"This is truly a sardonic figure rising out of
the ruins bolshevism has made, and, while appealing for succor, inviting revolution. Lenin in effect says: Bolshevism cannot feed its people. Give aidand join us in the joys of revolution. He is like a man in a quicksand who calls for help and at the same time urges his helper to join him in the bog. "We doubt if there is any use in contributing a cent to the starving Russians if Lenin is going to administer the money. He will see that no one gets any of it except members of his own political party, which consists of about 600,000 out of 140,000,000 people." . .
Motor Travel Increases -'1 Says the New York Times: x 1 'The automobile travel on the roads of this
country has increased 50 per cent this year, ar
cording to L. E. Warford, representative of the American Automobile association, who is at the Claridge hotel. Mr. Warford says that the reports just received from 1,100 clubs scattered
throughout the country show that Americans
are now really enjoying the beauties of their
own country.
" 'The reports coming in now on automobile
travel are very interesting, said Mr. Warford. 'People of this country are showing much greater interest in their own country. Much of this is "due to the roads that have blen opened up recently, and parties are now able to explore country where formerly automobiles could not penetrate. "The Townsend bill, appropriating $100,000,000 a year for the next five years, would be the stimulus needed just now to improve the roads of the countryl Already many states have appropriated their allotment, which is specified in the bill. Eleven states in the northwest, including Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada and
Montana, have put up the money, and have already spent it in road building and improvements. " 'A most interesting and valuable outcome of the entire work has been' the interest with which ex-service men have gone into the work of road building in the northwest. Many asked for special vocational training in civil engineering and road construction, with the result that they stepped into important positions, and a field which should be permanent. Their success should influence thousands of former service men to enter into this work. It is splendid outdoor work, well paid in every branch, and the opportunity to advance excellent.' "

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams. Author of "You Can", "Take It", "Up" FACTS Facts are our most relentless pursuers. When we have shoved them aside and walked past them, and think that we had left them far in the rear, we look up to see them far in front of us rebukers of our ignorance. i The effort to evade facts has cost many a ruler his kingdom, many a leader his leadership. Had Napoleon faced the tacts on that fateful June day, there might be a different sort of a monument on the plains of- Waterloo today. Facts and achievements mix company. If every business man asked himself at the presentation of every emergency: What are the facts? there would be less failures in the world by quite a considerable number. Facts are the finger-pointers of fate. Get the facts! Then you may plan your battle. Without them, you have already lost. Merely because the facts look trivial, is no reason why they should be ignored. The source ot the Mississippi is trivial! , Facts have eyes that look great issues squarely in the face. There is nothing hypocritical about facts. They are the John the Baptists of Truth forerunners of that which is Inevitable. And the sooner facts are stripped of their mystery and placed right out in front where they may easily be seen, the sooner are the forces of any enterprise marshalled. Sometimes facts do not look very pleasant. But the longer you look at them and the more you determine to take up with them, the closer are you drawn to them. For, you see, they are the only things which are absolutely essential. Ferret out the facts. Line them up. Face them! They never mislead. . ' ' ,

The late W. K: Vandrbilt was noted for his quiet, kindly wit. He was once discussing with some friends the career of a man whose horse had just won the Grand Prix, and a banker said: "Blank's brilliant success in the
world is a great surprise to me and to
everybody elfe who knew him as a
young man. Of ail me worldly, reckless chaps I ever saw he was the worst. It Is beyond me how he has been able to climb to the top of the ladder, as he has done." "Well." replied Mr. VanderbilL "you would understand Blank's climb better if you knew Mrs. Blank. She steadied the ladder for him, you see."

Answers to Questions
ELLIS LORING ORESEL For several weeks past Ellis Loring Dresel, American commissioner at Berlin, has been carrying on informal negotiations with the Wirth government with a view to arranging the preliminaries for
peace Between Germany and the United States under the PorterKnox resolution. While, the state department is not yet ready to make
any statement con-i
cerning the progress of this work, all indications are that it has been entirely satisfactory up to date. Mr. Dresel is a Boston lawyer,
about fifty years old. He was in Germany at the outbreak of the war and offered his assistance to Ambassador Gerard in looking after stranded Americans. He proved sq efficient in the work that the ambassador retained his services until the United States entered .the
war. After the stranded Americans were straightened out he devoted his attention principally to the care of British prisoners of war. Mr. Dresel went to Switzerland with Ambassador Gerard when the latter left Berlin and remained in Bern, where he had general supervision over Red Cross work for American prisoners in Germany. Later he was appointed war trade, board representative in Switzerland. He was attached to the American peace mission at Paris as chief of the political intelligence section, and because of his intimate knowledge of Germany he was sent into that country several times to make investigations.

INQUIRER What are "halcyon
days"? They are the seven days preceding and the seven following the winter soltice on Dec. 21 or 22, on which falls the shortest day of the year.. Those 14 days were the halcyon
days of the Old World. In modern times halcyon days have come to be
known as idyllic, peaceful, happy days
In ancient times halcyon was the name of a bird, now called the kingfisher,
and the 14 days nearest the winter
solstice were called halcyon days be
cause, according to popular belief, it was at that period that the bird de
posited its eggs on the rocks, on the seashore or in a floating nest in the
sea. Out of consideration for the haly-! con bird, which was supposed to be favored by the gods, it was expected that the sea would remain calm; that the eggs would suffer no injury. The superstition persisted, in spite of the storms that often prevailed at that season of the year. The modern use of the word has an example in D'lsraeli's comment on he times of Henry VIII: "Peace and policy had diffused a halcyon calmness over our land." Interested How did the phrase "Oregon Trail" originate? Twentyone pioneers under Nathaniel Wteth left Boston for Oregon, overland, in
March. 1S32, by way of Baltimore, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, St Louis and Independence, by the Western path. It was this trip that fixed "Oregon Trail" on that route. Eight of the pioneers reached Oregon at the Columbia River on Oct. 29 of that year. These were the first white settlers of the Northwest from the East.

VERBOTEN I tried to buy some arsenic, to poison polar bears; around my house such beasts are thick, they gambol on the stairs; the druggist called me "foolish hick," and sprung rebukes in pairs. "The law forbidding poison sales," he said, "are strict and tight.
and there are many kinds of jails
where I might rest tonight, if I should weigh out on my scales the death that you invite. If I should sell you half a ton of poison, green or blue,
in yonder hoosegow, grim and dun.
I d spend a year or two; but you may go and buy a gun, and none will question you. Across the street they're
selling gats, the cheapest and the best, and you may shoot the bears and rats that do your home infest, and wound
them sorely in the slats, and send
them to their rest." Across the street I journeyed then to buy a deadly tool; the store was full of half baked men,
and little boys from school; they
bought their guns and bought again, and broke no law or rule. The sales
men all were Sunny Jims, who did
their work with speed, and every
where I turned my glims some patron
drew a bead, and someone shot me
in the limbs, to see if I would bleed.
I bought a rifle long and black, of cartridges a ton, then started hobbling to my shack to practice with the gun. but someone 6hot me in the back, to see the sawdust run.

Ross county, that used to glow at
night and smoke in the daytime, now is nothing more than a bulk against the skyline. For nine years, the "smoking hill" has been extinct, farmers who live in the vicinity of the big bare hill say. The mountain used to attract scientific investigators and tourists from all over the state. Every Sunday " saw a pilgrimage, and strangely enough, says a special article in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, many persons thought the smoking hill was a volcano. Some Feared Outburst. Some people are said to have sold
their property and moved -out of the
neighborhood, fearing that some day
the district would become a second
Pompeii.
The hill i& said to have smoked in
termittently for 11 years. For periods
running from two to three years, the burning apparently would be in a state of quiescence. Then the fires would break out again." This, of course, would intensify the curiosity of the people as to what was the cause. The real reason for the burning still is a matter of controversy. ' A great portion of the hill is devoid of
vegetation, thjis eliminating tne forest fire theory. Shale Oil Starts Burning. The hill, composed largely of oil shale, is furrowed with innumerable little gullies, washed out by the course of rainful down the slope. These be
came filled with dry vegetation, and some scientists asserted that combustlve action set in among this refuse; that the heat started the oil in the
shale to burning and boiling, thereby starting the long fires.
At night, the dntt-packed gullies,
smoldering, would give to the hill a most realistic appearance of a volcano, with red streams of lava running down its sides. In daylight, the smoking shale would present a similar appear-ence.
This explanation is the one general
ly accepted. But whatever the cause
of the starting and stopping of the fires, the fact remains that Ross county hasn't any volcanQ now.
