Guarding the Public Coal Lands.

DR.. Edward Everett Hale pro,
pounded the following question to
company of scientists in Washington
some days ago: what achievement
of the past year is most worthy OF a
commemorative medal?"
The trend of the answers was to.
ward the exploit of Amundsen in
traversing the Northwest Passage
from the Atlantic TO the Pacific, or to
the more significant exploit of the
Wright Brothers, of Dayton, Ohio.
who repeatedly succeeded in aerial
flight in a machine much heavier
than the air.
1t is q natural tendency of the sci-
entific mind to give first rank to indi-
vldual discovery or exploit rather
than to bring into account all achieve
ments, giving first place to that which
responds most successfully to the
greatest need Of the time,
Experts In statecraft will, doubt
less, concede that under the present
conditions of our national develop
ment it is quite possible for the great
est general good to result from
some extremely keen and far-reach-
ing achievement in administration.
and in the mind of the writer such an
administrative achievement has ac-
tually characterized the past year. I
refer to the proclamation OF the Pres
ident Withdrawing from sale the coal
lands of the people. The vast Inn
portance OF this act in connection
with the preservation OF our coal
supply has been well pointed out BY

ing consumption and tells clearly the

The Etiquette of Looting.

1t is stated by Miss Loane. an Eng.
lish worker among the very poor
of the English cities, that the ethical
side of that class of society is i'm.
perfectly developed, and 1t must be
admitted that some OF the true stories
she tells in The Next Street But
One" do show a light-hearted view
of property rights. The irresponsi.
bility disclosed in the one below,
however, is considerably mitigated
by the saving grace of humor.
A friend of Miss Loane who had
been living in her own suburban villa
left and went into the country. In
the early spring, finding the house
still unlet, she went back to fetch her
bulbs, and found the garden com.
pletely denuded. She concluded
some hawker or hedge gardener had
cleared the place, and troubled her.
self no further.
A few weeks later very worthy
old woman in the neighborhood told
the lady's former housemaid that she
had taken the bulbs.
People was beginning to steal
'em, my dear" she said, "and l felt
sure your mistress 'ud rather they
was took respectable"

Fishing Dogs.

Stories of fishing dogs always are
interesting. / remember one of
dog which always accompanied his
master trout fishing-went with him
in lieu of landing net. The water
usually fished was a club length
where the limit for takeable trout
was eight inches, and the intelligent
brute, the moment trout was firm
ly hooked, would swim out, take 1t
gently but firmly in his jaws, swim
back 20 the bank, measure 1t off with
his tail, and Immediately chuck 1t
back into the water II it happened
to be under the limit size. l have
heard of an angler who had a dog
that used to swim across the river
when the angler got his flies hung
up in a tree at the other side, and
climb up the tree and disentangle
them. Then l had friend who had
very clever pointer-who would
point anything-fur, feather, or fin.
He was first rate retriever, too.
One day my friend had him out
with him in boat pike fishing, when

in a most furious fashion. In went
the long-legged pointer to retrieve
the game. Snap went the vicious
pixies wicked jaws as the dog came
up, and the poor brute's forelegs were
clean bitten off close to the body.
In his anguish the dog managed to
swim to the boat, when snap went

Henry olay's Popularity.

The greatest popular idol in polit-
ical sense the country has ever known
was Henry Clay. Only one other
American statesman ever possessed
the quality called personal magnetism
to the same extent that he did, and
no other ever had a more enthusias-
tic personal following. He was an
aspirant for President from 1924 to
1848, but never reached the goal.
He received thirty-seven electoral
votes in 1924, forty-nine in 1892 and
105 in 1914, but never enough to
elect him. Clay was elected Speaker
of the House of Representatives on
the first day of his term in that body
and was five times reelected. He
was twice elected United States SEN
ator. once unanimously by the Ken
lucky Legislature. and held several
other high Offices. If there ever was
popular idol in the politics of this
country, 1t was Henry Clay, but he
could not be elected President. In

Look to the Eyes.

Eye strain produces many physical
ills that are not usually charged to
the proper account. Strain of the
eye often results in nervous exhaus-
tion, indigestion, headache and back
ache. Authority for this statement
is to be found in a recent article by
DR.. Luther II. Gulick, director of
physical training in the public schools
of New York. 1t is this mans be-
lief that third of the children in
the higher grades of school and a
fourth of all educated persons are
afflicted with some disability due to
strain OF the eye. The relation be-
tween vision and health is so close
that IL the former becomes deranged
a variety of evil consequences may
follow. The moral to be drawn from
DR.. Gulick's article is that men
should be careful OF their eyes and
on the first suspicion of arrangement
or irregularity submit themselves to
professional examination and advice.
No chances should be taken in optic
