state highway, have completed their'
work. The bridge will cross the
Snake river a short distance below ;
the ferry, from a high point on the
W hitman county side to another on !
the Garfield side, and will eliminate
a difficult piece of road on both
sides. The bridge will be high
enough to allow the passage of boats
at all stages of water, will be 1622
feet long and will cost about $230-1
000. ' !

BUSINESS MEN WANT MUCH
Some Qualities That Applicant for a
Job Had to Show in a Char
acter Test.
A new Yorker who, for reasons of
delicacy, must be nameless, was re
cently gratified with a tempting offer
of employment
The firm which sought ids services
required from him a scientific char
acter reading by an expert. He was
referred to a local psychoanalyst re
tained by the concern.
The expert rated him high on latent
ability, but deficient In the essential
business Qualities of "self-esteem and
selfishness."
He did not get the job, says Les
lie's. "Sorry," he was told, "but your
character shows there isn't enough
iron In your makeup."
li". for the good old days when a
mean man was still an "ornery cuss"
and generosity was yet respectable.
Time was when a man's kindness rec
ommended him for a job and gave
him reasonable hopes of advancement.
Now, a growing number of employers
insist that his worth be weighed In
advance with a pair of apothecary
scales and ganged with a machinist's
micrometer. And woe to him if the
acute psycho-detective discerns in him
a tendency to meekness or human
sympathy! He suffers the besetting
business vices of modesty and unsel
fishness ;
How deeply, we wonder, have the
doctrines of these latter-day prophets
penetrated the collective business
mind of the country at large! Must the
model citizen who listens dutifully on
a Sunday morning to a sermon on the
brotherhood of man hurry home to a
learned treatise on how to despise his
neighbor?
What a theme for H. K. Chesterton
—or Nietzsche I
HER LIFE AN INSPIRATION
Difficulties Overcome by Helen Keller
Should Shame Any One From
Discouragement.
Mark Twain once said, "The two
most interesting characters of the
Nineteenth century are Napoleon and
Helen Keller." Helen Keller, the De
troit News recalls, was a normal child
until BJ months old. At that time a
serious illness left her blind, deaf
and dumb. Even during these early
years in the dark she learned many
things through the sense of touch, Her
chief playmates were a little colored
girl and an old setter dog.
She was nearly seven years old
when a teacher was found to under
take what seemed an impossible task.
This teacher, Miss Anne Sullivan, be
gan at once to talk Into her little
pupil's hand with her lingers. The
lirst word Miss Sullivan spelled into
her hand was "doll"; the next word
was "cake." The words were quickly
spelled back, even before the little girl
knew what they meant. Very soon,
however, the spelled words with the
hand language were connected with
a real doll and real cake. Within a
month she knew thirty words and
could talk them back with her fingers.
As soon as she grasped the thought
that all objects have names she
learned very fast. Within three months
her vocabulary had increased to about
300 words, and within a year to 900
words. She is now a noted writer
and lecturer.
Indian Name Restored.
The United States geological board
lias restored the ancient Indian name
! to the Cataract canyon and creek in
| Grand Canyon National park. This is
I Havasu, the Sky-blue Water.
Havasu canyon, In the western sec
tion of Grand Canyon National park,
is destined within a few years to be
come one of the scenic points, which
visitors to the national park will de-
Sire to see. In its depth there is a
primitive Indian tribe living.' They
are the Havasupal, the people of the
Sky-blue Waters.
Less than 200 Indians live in this
blooming garden where old tig or
chards yield enormous crops anil corn
grows in feet high. The tribe has
just held Its own for many genera
tions.
English Sparrows Eat Dandelions.
At least one good mark may be set
down for the English sparrow, so com
monly regarded as a pest. He is fond
of the seeds of dandelion, and when the
flowers have given place to the fuzzy
"blow-balls" spends much of his time
cleaning them from the lawn. In this
country, as in England, the sparrow is
also fond of young peas, and often
ruins the early crop by picking off
(lowers and leaves. In some Chicago
suburbs It Is now impossible to raise
peas without protecting them with a
net. Whether the sparrows' good of
fices in ridding the lawn of dandelions
will Offset his attack on the peas Is
a problem. —Science Service.
Transylvania Silkworm Culture.
Silkworm culture In Transylvania,
which was highly developed under the
Magyar regime, but which declined
during the war. is again engaging at
tention, and the department of agri
culture has taken steps to forward the
Industry. According to Hungarian law,
still effective In this district, the prod
ucts of this Industry must be delivered
to the government for a fixed amount.
It is estimated that 150,000 kilos of
■ilk cocoons, representing a value of
5,000,000 lei, can be purchased this
year.

'lie- plum-cot is a cross between
the aprieoi and a Japanese plum. The j
"Newzine" was a cross between a !
-paper an,i a magazine. Burhnnk '
produced the former; Jefferson Martin I
was attempting to produce the latter] |
But there Is a difference. Burbuhk I
produced other things besides plum
cots. Ills name was already famous.
Jefferson Martin didn't, and his name
Wasn't. 11.- was also nearly broke.
. Hlldreth Mason was one of .1 small
minority. She read the "Newzine."
She was also one of a large majority.
She didn't like her Job. Not liking
her Job, she was keeping her weather
eye open for another, and she was
saving some money $00 or more,
One day her boss sent her mi some j
errands. One of the errands took her
to an obscure little building In an
obscure little corner of Boston. There i
in an obscure little office sin- met
Jefferson Martin.
After attending to her errand Hll- :
dreth remained to talk to Jefferson.
"Say," she asked. ''Do you need
any help?"
"Thai I do," Jefferson answered I
rruthfully.
"Well. I want a Job."
Jefferson blushed. "The Job's here,
nil right, but not the salary. The j
'Newzine' doesn't pay expenses."
"Make it pay expenses," suggested I
Hlldreth.
"How?" asked Jefferson. "People
don't buy the 'Newzlne.' "
"They ought to," said Hlldreth. "It's i
a good paper."
"I'll tell you what I'll do," promised
Jefferson. "If you can suggest any i
way to make the 'Newzlne' pay ex
penses I'll give yen any job It has to
offer."
"Why don't you start a contest?"
asked Hlldreth. "Everybody else Is
doing it."
"That's the trouble," said Jefferson.
"They've Used Up all the Ideas."
Having other errands to do, 1111- !
dreth went her way. Now, you can j
get lost In Boston with less weighty !
problems on your mind than Hlldreth !
had on. hers. Try It and see. Hll
dreth got lost.
"I wonder where I am?"
Stopping the first passerby, Hlldreth
asked the name of the park. The
lady stopped pleasantly and explained:
"I'm a stranger here, too."
It was not until after a third or
.fourth attempt that Hlldreth found
where she was.
"That," stud a passerby, "la Louis
burg square, and the statues are of
Columbus and Euripides," By way of
additional Information, he added, "Jen-
Ny Llnd was married there."
Hlldreth was thinking.
"What the people here need," she
said to herself, "Is to know more of
their own city." Then she thought of
her own home City of Minneapolis.
There were perhaps a dozen buildings
she could recall. "I guess," she ad
mitted sheepishly, "the need Isn't lim
ited to Boston. It" there were only
some way—"
"An idea!" she Interrupted herself
excitedly and like the Greek phi
losopher who ran to the king's palace
shouting "Eureka!" Hlldreth made a
bee line to Jefferson's office and burst
in shouting: "I have It! I have It!"
After several questions on Jeffer
son's part he finally got Hlldreth's
Idea.
"We'll have a 'Know-Your-Own-Clty'
contest," she explained, "publishing:
pictures of buildings, statues and i
parks. In and near Boston, and mak- 1
ing people tell what they are. where
they are, and one fact connected with
each of them."
"But think," objected Jefferson, "of
the people who have lived here all
their lives."
"I am," said Hlldreth. "I'm think
ing of a girl where I room, who has
lived around Boston for 10 years and
has never seen Bunker Hill monu
ment."
Did the contest work? Say, it i
spread like wildfire. Jefferson's sub
scrlptlon list doubled, tripled and
quadrupled until, with bis limited re
sources, he had difficulty In turning
out enough papers.
The contest bad been running six |
weeks when Hlldreth faced a new dif- .
ficulty. Her $00 ran out.
Going to Jefferson, she asked: "Do
I get the Job?"
Jefferson turned red with embarrass
ment. "Jove!" he apologized. "I for- 1
get all about your salary'- Why didn't
you tell me?"
"I would have forgotten myself If It j
hadn't been for my landlady," Hil- j
dreth replied.
"Well, which Job do you want?"
asked Jefferson,
"Which do you want me to have"
"How about editor's wife?" he sug
gested. „
Hlldreth blushed. "That depends,
upon what the editor thinks about It."
-in- said shyly.
Jefferson slipped his arm around
her. "By the way," be whispered. t
"■on must know a great deal about
Boston now. fan you tell me where j
I can get a marriage license?"
"No. Don't you know?"
Jefferson shook his head, ami they
both laughed.
A Question.
"Going to the lecture at th" cross
roads, sehoolhouxe tonight?" asked an
acquaintance. "It's free."
"Do you reckon it'll be worth It?" re
'urncd the gaunt Mlssourtan
I SHOWED HIM HOW
Mr. Brown Learned Something
From His Better Half.
Of Course Her Knowledge Waa Not
Scientific but the Cork Came
Out of That Bottle.
Brown had been puttering around In
the bathroom for a half hour, while
Mrs. Brown grew more and more ner
vous. From experience she knew that
trouble was brewing when her lord and
master busied himself about the
house, and she was aware that ho was
not taking a bath In the middle of a
Sunday morning. Presently -there came
a crash of glass falling Into the por
celain tub, and Mrs. Brown was glad
that the children had not yet returned
from Sunday school.
"What is the -natter? Can I help
you, dear?" Mrs. Brown called bright- '
ly. For reply Brown came Into thej
living room and stared nt his better
half with an expression In which pn
tient suffering, rag.-, mockery and sus
plclon were nicely blended. In bis
hand, says the New York Bun, he held
a bottle, empty, except for 11 cork that
had been pushed Inside.
"No, you cannot help me." he de
clnred bitterly. "When did you ever
help me? To satisfy your Inordinate
curiosity I will say that I am get
ting the cork out of this bottle, and,
having the innate masculine qualities
of determination and Inventiveness, l
will accomplish this seemingly Impos-
Bible task, and your little plan to an
noy me will tall through. of course
I know- that you deliberately pushed
the cork down into this bottle, though
how you guessed that I would wish to
use this particular flask I haven't yet
taken the trouble to figure out
"I presume that even you know that
heat expands an article? Very well,
then; all that Is necessary Is to bent
the neck of this bottle until It expands
and then shake out the cork. Have
you the frankness to admit that that
would never have occurred to you?"
"No, I do not think that would have
occurred to me," Mrs. Brown answered.
"You see, 1 am afraid that glass Is dif
ferent from metal in respect to re
sponding to temperatures, and, be
sides, It seems to me that if you make
the glass expand It will expand In
ward as well as outward, and so real
ly make the opening in the neck of
the bottle smaller. Now, what I'd
do would he to —
"Never mind what you'd do," retort
ed Brown. "You have sufficiently dem
onstrated your Ignorance for once.
In a few minutes 1 will show you the
happy results when scientific knowl
edge and Ingenuity go hand In hand."
Whereupon be stalked out to the
kitchen, and Mrs. Brown heard him
lighting the gas stove. A few minutes
later there was a howl of anguish from
the kitchen.
"Probably your Idea is entirely
Scientific and all right," she soothed,
as she applied a cooling lotion to the
thumb and finger that had Incautious
ly grasped the hot bottle, "but, after
nil, it would be so much simpler to "
"Oil, I suppose you are going to pre
tend that you could get that cork nut
without even trying," Brown snarled.
"Well, let me see you do it!"
"Why, of course if you wish me to,
dear," Mrs. Brown responded sweetly.
She took a small but strong cord, tied
a large knot -in the end, dropped the
knot into the bottle, turned the bottle
upside down, and shook it a little 1111
--til the cork joggled down in to the
neck, tin- knot in th cord being be
hind the cork. Then she gave the
cord a Strong, steady pull, and the
cork came out with a plop! "It is
really easy, you see, dear," she said
mildly.
France Likes Kipling.
Although lUidyurd Kipling Is not
without honor In hi- own country, it
is a fact that some young lions (here
affect to sneer at him, remarks the
London Post. Like tie- Athenians,
they want something new.
But in France he is at the height of
his tame. Some fourteen volumes of
translations of his works have been
published by the Mereure de France.
A distinguished academician, M, Andre
Chevrlllan, has constituted himself his
chief Interpreter. New a student in
Purls, preparing for the Baccalaureate,
writes that he Is one of the authors
"set" In English, a high and excep
tional honor for a contemporary.
Know Little of Their City.
Many of 'he lifelong residents of
New York city know little of the city's
rapidly expanding transportation os
tein, says the New York Sun. They
are acquainted with those minor sec
tions they use dally, but If they have
occasion to travel to unaccustomed
quarters they are as puzzled as the
stranger. It Is usually the newcomer,
iin- resilient of ii few months or years,
who even pretends to know the sub
ways or the streets of any consider
able section of the town.
American Progress.
American progress la absolutely de
pendent upon electricity, according to
Henry I>. Shute, vice president of the
VVestlnghouse Electric company, who
declares that "It is do exaggeration to
say thai America has now become ab
solutely dependent upon electricity for
her further progress, and In the future
hardly a wheel will turn without elec
trldtj behind li."
