NEW GEOGRAPHY
TO BE TAUGHT BY
USE OF PICTURES
Move jJnder Way to Show
, Children Views of Foreign

'Washington, D. C, July 12.
(Special.) Announcement of a new
department of the work of the
tional Geographic society, whereby
its immense reservoir of geographic
photographs will become, available
to public schooW is made in a bulle
tin issued Uroi its Washington
headquarters
"If 90 United States senators were
keenly concerned about exact de
tails of the peace treaty, some 4000,
0QO school teachers who teach ge
ography are just as anxious to see
the new maps that must come in the
wake of the signing of that epochal
document," the bulletin says.
'"But why worry about maDs?
"Maps are Accessary, but before
they can glow with fire and meaning
the things that grow and live, and
move inside the boundaries they in
dicate must be impressed upon a
child's mind. '
"A picture gives the inkling (of
what a volcano is like, and avoids
such amusing, and yet pathetic, an
swers o examinations as 'Vesuvius
is a mountain which continually
emits saliva or boulevards are
churches in Paris thronged with gay
ly dressed people' or 'an isthmus is
a bottle with a narrow neck.
"Recent work in geography has
made tremendous strides in this re
spect Adults will remember the def
initions they had to learn, and some
of us were kept in sunhy afternoons
because we could not make them
stick in our minds. For example,
'an island is a body of land com
pletely surrounded by water' or
ponds and lakes are bodies of wa
ter that occupy depressions in the
land'. Whatever depressions in the
land might be it was beyond us to
fathom, but woe be to us if we
could not tell that lakes occupied
them."
"You never hear of green goods men
any more."
"No," replied Farmer Contassel; "com
pared to the easy money getters nowa
days, those old green goods men worked
mighty hard besides takln' big Chances."

don Is Pushin' a Pol6 Through the Thames Pronounced "Tims") Other Com-1

By ROBERT WELLS RITCHIE.
(Universal Berrlc Staff Correspondent.)
London, July 1, 1919
To William Quick, Proprietor Oc
cidental hotel, Buffalo, Wyo.: -
Dear Bill: You remember me,
Bill; I'm the man you and the boys
who happened to be in town that
Saturday night tried to put over the
jumps he first time I blew into Buf
falo along with old Joe LeFors. You
did this, Bill, just because you and
the rest thought I was an easterner,
and when you found I came from.
California and eased off a bit we all
sat down and had a regular session
in your back room, where the pic
ture of "Custer's Last Fight" hangs
on the wall. Yes, and I remember,
Bill, your assistant had a cast in his
right eye and nobody who was not
hep to him could tell whether he
was anxious about the change from
the last one or who was Koine to
stand for the next one.
I hope, Bill, that boy has a job
with the gevernment now; as faf as
I can see from reading the home
papers, the government needs him.
Well, anyway. I'm Koinar to write
you a lot of stuff that hastio rif-ht
to be in the news, because theres
no, news about it. You see. Bill, old
top, I'm a regular reporter now;
you and the rest of the Buffalo boys
thought I was a highbrow who
wrote fancy stories about things that
never happened. Maybe I did; but
I've reformed, and I live in London,
and God knows, Bill, that's as bad
as being "black-balled" out in your
Wyoming country. You know the
T-bone steaks your Tillie in the
dining room, with geraniums at the
windows, used to serve, for the mat
ter of that. Well, Bill, when I wake
up suddenly at night over here and
cast back over the dreams I've been
dreaming. I discover they're all about
that T-bone steak and the real
honey you used to set out witl the
flapjacks in the morning, and the
trout right out of Clear Creek, up
near Soldiers' home, broiled, and
with three knife marks down the
flanks for the bacorT juice to pene
trate. Bill Quick, you never can under
stand how terrible are those dreams
in London I
Lose Weight on Hoof.
But I didn't start to write on the
eats question. Anybody from the
U. S. A. who did that in London
would lose from three to five pounds
right on the hoof and be in no sriape
for shipping with the rest of the
2-year-olds. What I started out to
do was to tell you and the rest of
the boys who get together in 'Old
Man Whosis' back room on Satur
day nights old Hard Winter Davis
from Crazy Squaw and the rest of
the old-tjmers one or two things
which make London different from
the rest of America. You know.
Bill, the "dooble entendre" stuff. (I
got that phrase while I was in Pari:,
Bill; what do you think of it for a
whizzer?)
For instance, when you're in the
Savoy bar which the real Ameri
cans call the swamp because it's so
wet compared with the rest of the
Strand when you're in the afore
said bar, Bill, and somebody orders
a round and everything's all set,
some short-haired muley lifts his
glass and says, "Cheerio," and every
body puts his away pronto. Get
alfet, f Bill; "Cheerio?" Now what
do .-you think of that?
"Cheerol" With a Drink.
Not, "How," or "Down the rat
hole," or anything Christian like
that. But Cheerio 1 Just as if some
shorthorn from Keokuk, Ioway,
should sit into a party in your back
room in the Occidental and buy one
and then, say "Grandma's chintz
piano cover," or something quick
and snappy like that.
Bill and boys, I ve been in Lon-

' Wants Son, Who May Serve at Assembly This Year,

I can't find out why the 'Cheerio"
business. It spoils the taste of
what's there and. take it from one
who's had his foot on the old rail
from Gillette to Sheridan, I there's
not near so much authority in
what's there in The Swamp as there
might be. At least, not anything
to say Cheerio about
Another thing. Bill, over here
you don't t a drink of water with
out fighting for it. Of course, there
are some who drink water and
there's some who don't from this
angle it looks as if the water-drinkers
would be on the increase back
home after July 1. But over here
in this man's town and it is all of
that: don't make any mistake if
you want a gbblet of water with
your meal you've got to get on your
war paint and go atter it.
Hot Water and Salt
Take it at breakfast time which's
anywhere from 8 o'clock to 11; ask
for water and the heiter with the
toached hair who trotting your
trail will bring you a large glass of
hot water and set the salt convenient
to hand. Cast your lamps' over that,
Bill and boys; hot water if you ask
ed for a mountain oyster, which
everybody knows is a steadier and
not a bad thing to start the day on
if you ve jumped the reservation the
night before. But hot water in a
glass for breakfast! That' the only
kind of water they know about over
here; in your tub before breakfast
or in a glass alongside the old bacon
and eggs and the "kipper" when you
sit down to eat the hrst meal.
The other day I was having my
breakfast in one of the swellest eat
irtg houses on Piccardilly blowing
myself, as it were and there was an
American major just in town from
Coblcnz who was extending himself
just like I was. I sat back in my
chair with an expression on my
countenance like the last act of
"The Two Orphans" just listening to
that yearling lighting tor a glass
of ice water with his smoked fish
and "porrige." Bill, that man never
wasted more heroism in front of a
machine gun nest in the Argonne.
And what'd he get? Listen, Bill:
He got a teapot full of boiling hot
water and the waitress gave notice
to the head guy right then and there.
She wasn't going to serve any more
"mad Amuricans."
Rushing the Growler.
I'm no longer a "mad Amurican,"
Bill. I'm just sorrowful. Only way
I can get a pitcher of ice water in
this town is to go to the ice house
with a , pitcher in my hand just
plain rushing the growler, as it
were and I haven't the nerve to
ride three miles on top of a 'bus
with a glass pitcher in my hand.
Honestly, I haventl I've seen guys
riding a 'bus with a wooden leg;
but I've never seen anybody take
his seat on the hurricane deck with
a glass pitcher with the intent and
purpose, as the district attorney
says in his indictment, of going to
the ice house for a pitcher of ice
water.
Which may be nether here nor
there, Bill. Be 'that as it may, as
the democratic spellbinder said when
he unbuckled himself from that
speech against old Senator Warren
down in your town when I was re
siding in your midst what do you
think of "Are you there?" on the
telephone?
Old Vaudeville Stuff.
Of coursethis is old stuff with
the vaudevjlle circuit back in the
effete east; but out Wyoming way,
Bill, it may drag a laugh out from
under your suspenders.
You know: Get on the phone nice
and friendly-like ind fight about 10
minutes to get your ngnt number.
Then the short-combed rooster at
pings from the editorials of The
Bee of June 27 and 28.
"The Bee does not by any means
exaggerate the vital importance to
the best citizens of. this state that
the most worthy and best-informed
men (or women) and representa
tives of all classes should be chosen
to form the new state constitution.
"And at the present time, when
conditions everywhere tend to
bring the dregs and scum of man
kind into position, and power, extra
ordinary vigilance upon the part of
level-headed and patriotic citizens
is demanded. Interests will be pres
ent at the convention.upon the
floor and clamoring at the doors
demanding the adoption and incor
poration in the new constitution of
all kinds of freak experiments in
government yes, even to the ex
tent of demobilizing all government
and setting up local committees to
pass upon the liberty and property
of men. '
"I see your name is among those
suggested. If, without too much
sacrifice on your part, you could ac
cept and should be selected as dele
gate from Douglas county, it will
be a fine opportunity for you to
study the great principles of gov
ernment. "Webster is an exceptionally able
man, in all matters pertaining to
the framework of a model instru
ment of fundamental law, and as a
debater and counsellor on the floor
or presiding officer, I know of no
man in the state who excels him."
Miss Rhodes Says Wrong
Report Made to Police
Miss Gene Rhodes of "21" ranch.
Vian, Neb., writes to The Bee to
state that a mistake was made by
someone unknown to her, in re
porting that during her recent visit
in Omaha she suffered tha loss of
the other end takes down his re
ceiver and says, "Are you there?"
Only he doesn't say it like Its
spelt, Bill. He says, "Ahyou' theah?"
Well, what's a man going to do
under those circumstances? If you
answer, "No; I'm down round Cas
per way, -picking strawberries,"
you'll crab the whole works, and
like as not you'll go to the Tower for
high treason. The right answer is,
"Yes, I'm here. How's the Missis
and all the kids?" And then you no
out and take a walk along the em
bankment and look at the holes the
German bombs punched through the
important places in the Sphinx at the
foot of the Obelisk and call it a day.'
Maybe I'm boring you stiff with
all this chatter, Bill; and if you read
it to the boys be sure there's no
sheepmen around ' to add to their
displeasure. But I've just got to
unbelt a lot of this stuff before it
ferments inside me and spoils my
naturally happy disposition. And
speaking of neckties, Bill
The London Neckgear.
You know, over here in Londcn
they're mighty shy on what you
might call the spectral colors in ties.
They'll sell you a handkerchief made
of silk which's got all the colors
of an oil fire down Salt river way
woven into it: but you're not sup
posed to do anything with this flag
of the Whosis republic except wear
it in the outside pocket of your
jacket with ends showing fancy-like..
You don't dust off your shoes with
it when you're hitting town after a
long ride in from the range, and you
don t wipe off your chin with it after
borinar into the old Yorkshire ham
and Plymouth Rocks. You just show
t proud-like.
But when vou ask the man behind
the counter in the gents' furnishing,
store to trot out his ties Boy, tow
dyl He shows you a layout which's
left over from the time they buried
George the Three and the whole na
tion went in mourning. Blacks with
white flyspecks and dark gray with
pal:, blue fly-specks and just plain
black for "sporting." You know,
Bill, what "sporting" is going on
the river, which is the Thames (ro
nounc.d "Tims") -'and pushing a
boat arouhd with a long pole; that's
"sporting."
Panama Hat for Sports.
If you want to roach your mane
up and be a regular wolf, hunting
free of the pack, you go to a haber-'
dasher's store and buy you a black
tie with a faint gray stripe and a
Panama hat (which mustn't be
worn in London. Bill: only when
you're sporting) and you're rigged
for a reeular medicine dance. I know
an American, Bill, who sifted into
this town with a flock of ties he'd
bought in Joliet, 111. the kind which
hook in the back and the first time
he oozed out of his hotel wearing
one of these Texas northers a Cov
ent Garden flower woman who had
n't drawn a sober breath since the
Jubilee fainted and had to be taken
to St, Stephen's on the Mount or
some such hospital.
Of course I could amble on and
tell you how an Englishman always
