logical and chronological sciences, ell
gineering, medical sciences and ny
giene, juridical science, social sci
ences, pedagogy and philosophy
agronomy and zootechnics, which latter
may be called the science of agricui-
ture. The discussions under the head
of social sciences are expected to pc
the most important, 40 per cent. OF
the subjects to be introduced In the
congress being grouped under that
title.
At Santiago there will be estab-
lished a general clearing house OF
American information. The great bulk
of the work will come under the So
cial sciences, and 205 subheads under
that title have been made. 1t is cer-
tain that good deal more informa-
ton concerning the early history and
inhabitants of America will become
common knowledge after the congress
closes. Exchange of ideas on agri-
cultural methods will also be valuable.
Among the almost innumerable sub
jects to be talked over the most I'M
portant are such as these:
Means which American nations
might employ to properly assimilate
immigrants to the native element.
The advisability of introducing the
referendum. Results following re-
forms introduced in American coun-
tries for the purpose of affording the
people more direct participation IN
public affairs. Legal and political
status of aborigines.
Labor, including cooperative build
| ing plans, laws TO protect women and
children in industrial labor, minimum
wages, cooperative loan associations,
savings banks, relief societies, labor
exchanges, compulsory insurance, in
| dustrial schools, social education and
labor unions.
Under engineering some subjects
are: Plans and cages of interconti-
mental railways, supply OF drinking
water, distribution of irrigation water
| and adoption of Pan-American stan
| dard, reinforced concrete construction,
! railway car lighting and processes for
| concentration of ores, uses OF nitrate
and discussions of the only source OF
supply, the Chilean fieldH-
Under agronomy and zootechnics
proposed subjects include preparation
and improvement Of soils, agricultural
machinery, reforestation, viticulture
and vinification, production of meat,
fat, milk, butter, cheese and wool, ma
chinery for the elaboration and con-
servation of animal products, poultry,
fish culture, parasitical and contagious
diseases of domestic animals, rural
construction, economic elements in ag-
ricultural production.
When it is considered that we are
far in advance of South America or
some of these matters, while they are
much better informed on others, the
great value of the coming congress to
| all the people of the western hemis-
phere can be appreciated.

Meeting Mr.. Brown
Copyright, Ford Pub. Coz
o O O
By V. Toppler

1t has never been my brother
Ralph's habit to be very extravagant
when 1t came to spending money on
me, so l was rather surprised when,
one morning before going downtown,
he asked me if l would go to the Hip
podrome, and, at first, l thought he
was only joking.
Il can see that you must think there
is something under this, Grace, and
so there is. 1t is like this: You re-
member Charlie Brown 1 have spoken
off,"
"Yes, but don't quite see"
well, Charlie is coming to New
York tonight and L=Svant to give him
a good time, and Is he has always
been particularly anxious to meet you,
l thought 1t good idea to take you
along to entertain him."
Il am sure shall enjoy It,"
''Well, now you leave here on the
6:36, that will take you to Grand Cen
trail at 7:05, and will meet you there
and we will both wait for Charlie, who
will be on the Boston express, which
gets in at 1920. We will then have
just about an hour to get dinner at
the Manhattan and get to the Hippo
drome in time for the show at $3.50.
But now l must be off to catch my
train. Do not forget-Grand Central
at 7:05."
That afternoon I got a telegram
from Ralph. 1t read:
"Will be detained by business. Can
not make Grand CAntral Yo, meet

"Oh, that is all right, am Grace
Warburton, Ralph's sister, and 1 want
to take you with me to dinner, as
Ralph was delayed and will meet us
later. Now we must go and have
something to eat in a hurry as we
have not very much time"
He tried to say something, and
looked so bewildered that l could
hardly help laughing when l looked
at the queer expression in his face,
but would not listen to him, and we
were soon seated in a restaurant op-
posite the depot, as the state of my
finances would not allow me to take
him to the Manhattan.
He insisted that he was not hungry,
but 1 put this down to bashfulnesd
and insisted on ordering a steak for
each of us. BY a sly motion to the
waitress I succeeded in getting hold
of the bill, and when he wanted to
pay 1 assured him that was altogether
out of the question.
But insist"
81 shall not allow anything of the
kind. Ralph would never forgive me
if 1 did" He laid his hand gently on
my arm.
II should feel like criminal if al
lowed you to pay for me-"
my dear Mr. Brown, l really don't
see"
well, you would if you knew every
thing. l am here under false pre-
lenses. l am not the man you sup
posed me to be-"
Il haven't really had time to sup
pose anything about YOU"
please listen to me moment then.
1 have not the slightest idea who you
are or who Ralph is, and l have been
wanting all the time to tell you that I
am not the man you expected to meet
at the Grand Central"
"Then you are not Charlie Brown.
from Boston?"
mo, my name is Arthur Sidney
Brown, and 1 have always lived in,
New York"
I was dumfounded and blurted out:
but why are you here, then?"
well, l must really ask you; you
simply did not give me a chance to
explain or get away, and you must for
give; l thought at first you were a.
girl out for good time"
"Oh, how could you?"
ut was only for a second. I soon
saw that you had made a mistake and
my love of fun prevented me from set.

help coming with you to see what

"Warburton," l replied with a rather
faint smile.

"By George! Then | know him after
all, though | have not met him for
years. What strange condolences"
well, in that case you had better
come along. Ralph is waiting outside
the Hippodrome."
When we reached there we found
Ralph waiting with an insignificant
looking little fellow with glasses,
whom he introduced to me as Charlie
Brown. He looked rather unpleasant
ly at my companion, who hurried to
explain matters.

Cavalier Dominick DAlessandro Boston
hodcarrier, has been knighted by the king of
Italy. DAlessandro, in spite of his humble call
ing, is scholar and reformer His title came
to him token of the kings appreciation Of
his efforts in behalf of the laborng people of the
tenements. He has been perhaps of the
greatest workers in that field ever to come out
of the ranks of the laborers. The padrone system
of the Greek bootblacks and of the Russians who
are employed in great numbers among the sugar
beet fields of the west has come in for much of
his attention. In the field of organized labor he
has likewise been active and he is the recognized
head of the hodcarriers organization. Withal

AMERICAN is SCOTCH LORD

Having been confirmed by the committee on
privileges of the house of lords in his right as
the twelfth baron of Cameron, Albert Kirby Fair
fax, native American, officially bears the
title of Lord Fairfax of the Scotch peerage and
is entitled to all the privileges of peer in the
United Kingdom, excepting that these do not
include a seat in the house of lords distinction
which, however, may be attained by him through
election as of the 16 delegates to the house
by the Scottish peerage for each parliamentary
session.
The house of Fairfax dates back to 1927. It's
founder was one of the few mobiles who sided
with Cromwell and he held chief command at
Marston Moor. His son was generain-chief Of
the parliamentary forces and gained the great

IN THE LIMELIGHT
PLANS RED GROSS WORK

Ernest p. Bicknell has entered on his work
as director of the work of the Red Cross of the
United States. AS his title implies, he is to be
the managing head of this great organization.
He gave up the office of secretary of the Associ-
ated Charities in Chicago, which paid him a salary
of $4,000 year, to go into this field of work
at an increased salary. Back of his election to
the office is the old story of work well done
After the destruction of Son Francisco by
earthquake the Red Cross forwarded immense
sums of money to the stricken city 1t was
necessary TO have high-grade man at the head
of the societys relief work in that city and some
one suggested Mr.. Bicknell. He obtained leave
of absence from his Chicago Office and went to

Prince Alexander of Servia has occupied
position heretofore-snce the accession of his
father to the throne-something like that of vice
president in this country. He is the youngest
son of King Peter, which means that he was not
considered in the light of possible heir to the
crown and therefore cut comparatively little
figure in the affairs of the troublesome kingdom.
Now, however, the youth finds himself sud
denly lifted into a position of prominence and
Importance in the eyes of his countrymen and
the outside world. His elder brother Crown
Prince George, is the rattle Drained youth whose
rash words and intemperate actions have all but
precipitated his country into costly war with
Austria against the wishes of his royal father
and of the Servian cabinet. The young man
