An it is undeniably spring we have every reason to think that the fancies of our male populace if young, are lightly turning to thoughts of love. In fact wc have visible proof of this on all sides. But spring brings other thoughts as regularly and as surely. If every closet has its skeleton as we have been taught to believe, there is one time when all these sheletons are dragged out and dangled on tlie clothes line Just why a woman feels impelled to expose to the gaze of an unsympathetic and indifferent world her raggedest hod clothing, nobody knows. Why does she flaunt grandpa’s army coat and Aunt Stella’s wedding basque and the faded window drapes in the public eye? There is no answer, except that it is spring. But small boys and sweet girl graduates find spring a time in which to think long thoughts about school. The graduate knows she is closing what is perhaps the most carefree period of her life and maybe she sighs u little. But little brothel ’s emotions are not mixed with sadness. School is just one of those things to be gotten through with ami now h" is nearly through. We used to hate to hear summer referred to as vacation. That

seemed to inake school one long continuous performance. Wc preferred to feel, each spring, that school was out. over, completed and done with We were thus better able to bear what we knew would be the inevitable start of school again in the fall.

It is a far cry from our present hitricate and expensive school system to the time when all the “learning” any boy received was what his parents taught him, by example mostly, about hunting or fighting. Then the idea grew that boys who were to be priests or to govern the tribe might need some little preparation for it. Boys, we are talking about. All that has ever been really required of a girl is that she look pretty. If she can cook so much the better, and'if she can keep house reasonably well and bring up a baby or two, she is a prize indeed, but these last three accomplishments arc not really required. Just a day or two ago we heard. "She’s a pretty child she’ll marry young.’’ The first school was not a kindergarten somewhere, but it was a university Ordinary children were not supposed to require education of any sort. The clergy were trained in monestaries. But in 1138 one Inarms found out a lot of things about city government and he lectured about this at Bolognc. Italy. It seemed quite a good many people wanted to hear him. Then, as now. fond papas who had the money wanted to send their boys somewhere so they would stand out from the herd. The lectures were given in the Latin language and so a man who expected to send his son to Italy had to give him some knowledge of Latin before he started, and thus preparatory schools were begun. Who’d have thought that children a

Until the problem of taxation arose the popular belief in Hawaii was that Midway was a part of the city and county of Honolulu.

An Inspection of 200 cars stopped at random along the highways re- , vealed that one car in 20 contained a dangerous concentration of the gas, ! Clousing said The tests also showed that one out of every two contained traces of the gas, indicating a potential danger. I Small concentrations of carbon monoxide breathed for an hour or two can produce sleepiness, headache and impaired judgment, yet the driver will not be aware of his condition. the engineer said. I He recommends frequent and care- i ful inspections of automobile exhaust systems and an occasional pause to exercise in fresh air on long drives. Cat Leaps 3 Stories Sale!.) THE DALLES.

Repeal Revives Night Club Era

Chaos Reigns in Abandoned Ethiopian Capital

One of the most unusual of the thouxands of smaller industries whish contribute their bit to keeping the wheels of commerce turning is the manufacture of birch oil In the historical Oley valley area of Berks county, Pennsylvania, a number of somewhat dilapidated sheds house the various small mills which carry on this $100,000 industry The oil is distilled from bark stripped from birch branches and the product sold to druggists who use it in omtmer.’s and liniments. Juice boiled from the branches is distilled in a process similar to that used in making liquor and a thick oil substance is left It takes three three-tnn truck loads of branches U> yield four quarts of oil which represents a day’s out put of one mill and sells for about $112
