i'VLL DEPARTMENTS JOIN
HANDS IN NEW YORK
Washington—Virtually every gov
ernment department in Washington
had added a new field to its ordi
nary activity—finding employment
for the men who are being dis
charged from the army and navy.
Secretary Lane, of the department of
the interior has plaeed his entire
machinery, including 15.000 field
representatives, at the disposal of ]
Colonel Arthur Woods, assistant to j
secretary of war, and has in- i
siructed every member of the de- '
partment to assist to the utmost of ;
his capacity in "placing the soldier
without a job into the job without a i
soldier." Similar action has been !
taken by the department of agrieul- !
ture, with its field force of 24,000 !
men, the postoffice department, the ]
department of labor and the navy
department.
The scope of the work may he
estimated from the fact that the
army alone returns from 200,000 to
300,000 men every month to civilian
life.

splendidly until lie came to the pro- j
, noun "v no." and then he hesitated. !
Took at its antecedent—mother—'
'hat governs the person," explained :
I tr.e teacher. "Now tell us what per- j
son it is."
j "First," came William's laconic j
• answer. 'I
i ' No. indeed." protested the teach- i
j er. 'Mother is the third person— i
' the person spoken of."
Not at our house," persisted j
William, and continued his parsing, j
repeating "First person" with more •
emphasis.—lndianapolis News.

The spectacle of fain, tire and
flood nil occurring at thf same time
f is not an unusual sight in some of the
I canyons near Los Angeles, says the
i Scientific American. Thr most no-,
table example is near Sipita Monica,
k which is on the southern coast ot
[ 1 '"iifornia. The precipitins sides of
the canyons debouching Into the
Pacific Ocean In that vicinity are
composed of clay and shale. When
ever ratin falls on these rocks, great
clouds of steam rise from the can
yons. The canyon crests anil faces
are crowned by vitrified rock burned
a dull red.
it is reported by the early histor
ians that when the mission fathers
visited this region 150 years ago the
natives avoided these places. They
claimed that these mysterious spirits
and the Indians could not be indue- j
ed to guide the priests to their ;
vicinity.
Actual flame has also been report
ed in one of these canyons. Hence, j
the occasional newspaper accounts
of active "volcanoes" near the coaat
of California. The phenomena are
] evidently due to fires in the petrol
eum-bearing shales which crop out
in these regions. The cause of tho
| tires is uncertain. They may be start
! Ed by lightning or they may be a
I rase of spontantous combustion.^
