were mad»e as to the why nor the
remedy. Eleven minor grievances
of shippers were discovered and
Immediately upon the return to

terim the laborers will be quartered
in the old bunkhouse.

er" was found in Director General
McAdoo's higher rate order No.

tation bureau of the Seattle Chain
ber of Commerce and Oommercial
Club yesterday in a provision that
discriminates against sold'iers and
sailors ou short-term leave, wiio
desire to visit near-by points. One
third of the reguJar one-way fare
is granted to men In uniforms,
also nurses, but the reduoed' fare
is not granted ou short-term pass
es from camps, or to men on liberty,
from ships and station, to near
by points. Soldiers at Camj> Ijewis
and sailors at Bremerton must pay
full fare. Th© order further provides
the annoying requirement that the
man in uniform applying for re
duced' fare must submit to the tick
et agent his military furlough, or
other official permit or leave, to
gether with furlough fare-certifi
cate, signed by the commanding of
ficer. Tho aim of the order is t-o

USE YOUR DRIVING POWER.
i
If You Want ■ Thing, Want It Ear
nestly Enough to Got It.
Just wanting: something will rare]/
obtain It for you. You've got to go out
and get It for yourself. In an article
called "Increase i'our Driving Power"
In the American Magazine a writer
quotes an authority as saying:
"After all, a man does what be wants
to do. Therefore be must be taught as
a child and he must learn in adult
years to teach himself to want to do
the right thing and the big thing and
to want it so hard that he la bound to
arrive at the wished for goal. Any
body can sit down and say, 'I'd like to
be the head of my company or the
president of the United States or the
best salesman in the world.' That
much is easy. It is exactly what the
baby does when it sits on the floor and
squalls for a piece of candy. But it is
a very different thing from wanting
something so much that it is willing to
set about It and undertake at once the
doing of the impossible.
"The trouble with the average man
Is that be does not want things bard
enough. And one reason for this is that
he has not been taught the value of
this 'wanting.' He has not been shown
In his schools and In his life that man
has tremendous resources for wanting
and for willing and that as he contin
ues to will and wMl he will find in him
self unknown and unsuspected layers
of energy. There Is always enough
energy to supply a man's desires for
success if be will tap the source of It"
KEEPING COOL IN ADEN.
Coolie* Pull tha Ropaa and the Ropas
Work tHo Big. Fan*.
Electric wrent for fans la not gener
ally available In Aden, Arabia, and the
old fashioned punkah system la the
only relief from the almost unbearable
Lieut aad closeness of the atmosphere
which prevails at certain seasons of
the year. A punkah is a large ceiling
fan operated by a cooly, who pull* a
rope attached to it This rope general
ly passes over a small pulley through a
hole In the wall, so that the cooly may
work unseen by those In the room to be
ventilated.
Often a series of fans is operated by
one cooly, this system prevailing in ho
tels, clubs and other places where there
is a large space to be cooled. The ac
tual cooling effect is usually considered
more satisfactory than that of an elec
trically operated fan In the respect that
the air currents are more gentle and
much more evenly distributed.
A punkah walla, as the cooly who
operates it is called, receives in Aden
an average wage of $3.50 per month
for working from eight to nine houra
a day. However, during the hot season,
when it is desirable to have the punkah
in operation night and day, a force of
three punkah wailals, working eight
hours each, is necessary, and the pun
kah becomes somewhat expensive.—

Indications of Long Life.
A long lived person, it is said, may be
distinguished at sight from a short liv
ed one. The primary conditions at
longevity are that the heart, lungs and
digestive organs, as well as the brain,
shall he large. If these organs are
iarge the trunk will be long and the
limbs comparatively short. The person
will appear tall while sitting and short
while standing. The hand will have a
long and somewhat heavy palm, with
short lingers. The brain will be deeply
placed, as shown by the low position of
the orifice of the ear. The blue, brown
or hazel eye Is a favorable indication.
The nostrils, if large, open and free,
Indicate large lungs. A pinched and
j half closed nostril Indicates small or
J weak lungs. These a re general points
I of distinction, but are, of course, aui>
Iject to the usual individual exceptions.

Stale Bread.
The readiest explanation of why
bread becomes stale would be to at
tribute it to tbe evaporation of water.
Tills explanation Is, however, errone
ous. The amount of water in new
bread and stale bread shows acareely
any difference, and the striking changs,
the drying of the crumb, is rather du«
to the fact that the water contained in
the bread forms with the gluten a com
pound that appears dry. By heating
stale bread for a short time it again as
sumes the condition of new bread, and
this la the best proof that there cannot
be a loss of water.
