Simple Explanation.
The senator was somewhat peeved,
yet the matter was one of no great
consequence, as his friend pointed out.
It seems that a constituent from the
back districts had written the states
man a letter in which said writer al
luded to said statesman as a “lawn
maker.”
The senator averred that If a Joke
was intended it was a poor one. But
his friend maintained that no joke was
Intended.
“Your constituent probably wants
some free seed; that’s all.”

[ dutch FAMILY STIRS LONDON IN NATIVE DRESS.
>■ ' ......
The Hofrnan family, of Holland, who are on a walk that will eventually
take them all around the world, caused quite a stir in London when they
appeared on the streets there in their quaint native dress.

From the London Times.
Readers of the lives of famous men cah scarcely have failed to remarb,
with something akin to wonder, the extraordinary emphasis which is laid by
biographers upon the places in w'hich their heroes were born. Sometimes,
It is true, there is peculiar significance in the accident of locality, the child
having lived many years in his native place and having been subjected there
to powerful influences of environment which have affected the course ef his
later life. More often, however, no such special influence is to be traced,
nor does the biographer make any claim to have discovered it. He Is, never
theless, careful of his detail, or profoundly apologetic if, for lack of authentlo
record, detail W necessarily absent. "The child was born,” he says as if in
accuracy in this matter would destroy the fabric of his biography, "at 25
minutes past two In the morning of the 10th of June of that year, in tkM front
room on the second floor of Number One, Great street.”
Or he may be forced to give no more than an assurance of his exhaustive
but fruitless researches, adding that expert opinion is divided into two camps,
one favouring the front room and the other the back, but that, for his own
part, he is unable to set the stamp of authenticity upon either of the rival
apartments. "However that may be,” he continues with an air of sadness in
leaving unsettled so stormy a controversy, "however that may be, the child
thing has its place and nothing receives undue emphasis, leaving his reader,
though admiring this thirst for accuracy, to wonder nevertheless what all
the pother was about.
Yet the biographers are right, for, whether the desire be reasonable or
not, the world loves to know with precision where its heroes were born. No
one cares greatly in which heaven the poet saw his skylark, or on what cliff,
glancing seawafd by chance, the explorer’s imagination sprang ta its vision
of his famous voyage. The stages of their progress through the world are
marked by few; their manner of entering and leaving it are remembered by
many. Th villagers of Predapion, who purchased by public subscription and
presented to Signor Mussolini the poor cottage in which he was born, gave
expression by their act to a universal sentiment which is justification of the
biogaphers.
A birthplace has in men’s minds an Importance that depends scarcely
at all upon its historical significance. Perhaps because it suggests a help
lessness in sharp contrast to future greatness, perhaps because thought loves
to dwell upon fortune’s first hazard, perhaps for no other reason than that
by remembrance of his childhood intimacy is restored with one whose fame
has made him seem remote from common men, a birthplace has power to
strike at the world’s imagination. The front room or the back appears as
the setting of a drama, and Number One, Great street, as the fit destination
of many a pilgrimage.
A scientist declares that preventive
medicine, within BO years will add 14
years to the average American life,
raising that average from 55 to 69.
Do you realize how that would in
crease wealth and efficiency? For
a man taught and trained, the years
from 5B to 69 should be life’s best
years.
Adding 14 life years to the average
would add 1,400,000.000 years of ma
ture human effort to every genera
tion. What would that be worth to
the nation? What would it be worth
to a railroad if it could add 14 years
to the working life of every locomo
tive?
The Wall Street Journal analyzing
Henry Ford's business puts his net
profit on each car at $55. On his
present output 6,000 cars per day,
that would be $99,000,000 profit in a
year of 300 working days. Add $19,
000,000 annual profit on parts, plus
$15,000,000 profit from other sources,
and you see that Mr. Ford is unusu
ally well fixed. The moral is:
“To beat your competitors, give
vaTue.”
Orthodoxy is your doxy.
The Turks at Lausanne refused to
take a recess on Wednesday, Ascen
sion day. They believe on a certain
day Mohammed, mounted on his
white steed Alberak, rose up to
Heaven from the Holy Stone now at
Mecca. They would favor honoring
that day. Poor heathen, they are un
able to distinguish between the true
religion and the false.

Fires cost this country every year
$500,000,000 and 150,000 lives. Eighty
in the 100 of the dollars and lives are
lost needlessly. The National Protec
tion Association meeting in Chicago
gives figures. The biggest trouble re
sides in our system of fire insurance.
Extortionate rates make the com
panies indifferent to fires.
Insurance should be government
business and there should be no in
surance for fire traps in which fam
ilies are housed. Refuse insurance
tnd owners will take precautions.
Man’s eest friend, tb» noble dog,
makes a mistake sometimes. Harry
Murch, aged 16, saw a faithful dog
keeping watch, apparently, near a
dead dog's body. Interested, th6
youth drew near, and the live dog
bit him in the leg, thinking he meant
to steal the dead dog. The attitude
of animals toward death, In their own
tribe differs greatly. A live horse has
intense fear of a dead horse. A live
i chicken treats its dead comrade as
1 though It were alive, clucks cheer
fully notices no change. Man’s atti
tude toward death in his tribe also
i varies. Some enjoy funerals, some
fear them, all share to some extent
' the horse's dread of a body, with its
life gone.
An able doctor upset m»..y theories
including the idea that a marvellous
i memory is a sign of healthy intellect.
On the contrary to forget trivialities
i and devote the mind to important
j things only is the sign of health, as
j life advances. Too much attention
to detail, cspselally to petty econ
omies, not necessary, is also a bad
sign so the medical authority of the
London Times tells you.
Western Canada wheat growers
have discovered they can ship grain
from Pacific ports through the Pan
ama canal to Europe more cheaply
than by rail to Great Lakes or Atlan
tic ports. They shipped 14,000,000
bushels that way in 1922 as against
500,000 bushels in 1920. Which will
probably remaiD the route used un
! til transportation by air becomes
cheaper than by water, which is a
real possibility of the not far dis
tant future. A lakes to ocean water

Senator Smoot, who is not rum*fn|
for office at present, thinks it im

Only yesterday, as human events
are recorded in history, the Connecti

Stars and Stripes; as the finest and
best of the Imposing battleships which
mude the cruise around the world,
she played a stellar role in one of the
most Important events In the history
of the American navy.
Of the big 16 which comprised that
American armada she is the only one
to survive, and now’ she,Is to rest In

“Conny” has more service as flagship
to her credit than any American man
of-war. Moreover, she has seen more
continuous active service than any
vessel of her class and probably more
than any capital ship In the United
States navy. Yet she never fired a
shot at an enemy. I

Gallantry.
A young soldier from the backw’oods
section had been invited to a military
dance and was frankly horrified at the
up-to-date ways of the young women.
His partner, after Bpending half of the
dance In agony' over his awkwardness,
suggested that they sit out the other
half of the dance, and led him to the
veranda. There she drew out a gold 1
cigarette case and remarked: “Of
course, you don’t mind girls smoking?”
The young soldier was determined to
be just as modern ns she.
“Lady," he returned, “I don’t give a

NAME LINKED WITH ROMANCE
French Woman Will Be Remembered
for Poetic Festival Which She
Instituted in Middle Agee.
Clemence Isaure was a lady of
Toulouse, France, celebrated for her
learning. She Instituted the floral
games In that city, when flowers were
bestowed on successful competitors.
She was born In 1464. When she was
a young girl the one romance of her
life began. A young troubadour fe'l
in love with her and sang songs to
her In which their names were linked.
She replied with flowers, whose mean
ing her lover could easily interpret.
He was killed in battle, and Clemence
resolved to take the veil. Before do
ing so, however, she renewed the
poetic festival and as prizes distrib
uted among the victors the five dif
ferent flowers, wrought in gold and
silver, with which she had replied to
her lover. The floral games were con
tinued for 600 years.—Detroit News.
