by the investigation committee.
Competition Suppressed.
That from 1888 up TO the present
time these efforts of the Electric Boat
company and Holland company have
resulted in absolutely suppressing any
possibility of competition in subma-
rine construction and securing and
awarding of all contracts, either by
specific appropriation or by legislative
appropriation, skilfully drawn. to this
company without possibility of compe-
tition.
That 1t can be shown by former in

Turks Gladly Pay Enormous Sum for

The Turks pay harem tax OF $751;
100000 year They don't mind it,

proud of it,"
The speaker, suffragette, bit her
lip to conceal a smile.
YES" she continued, "the mainten-
ance of the sultan's harem costs $751;
600 900, and the people pay up gladly.
They love to think that nowhere in
the world does such a harem as their
rulers exist.
Il visited the place in the spring.
There are 300 odalisques. Each odal-
sque has the title of princess, she has
a staff of ten servants, a motor car,
two carriages, four horses and an al
lowance of 500 week for sweet
meats and cigarettes.
Every Turk in the kingdom desires
-as we desire to see our sons made
president-to see his daughter made
an odalisque If an odalisque be-
comes a favorite she doesn't forget
father and the boys: She sees to II
that her family is uplifted to the high

Every year 100 odalisques marry

Woman Was Satisfied with Lamb"
Chops That Cost Little.

I'VE don't know what we are eat
ing nowadays said the New York
woman plaintively Last Saturday |
was in my butchers getting the Sun
day roast, and the woman who sat be-
side me was buying lamb chops; de-
licious, tender-looking ones, at only 16
cents pound Now my husband never
eats lamb, and never buy it in conse-
quence; but ! knew that that was
an unheard-of price for such chops as
those After the woman had departed
said to the man who was serving
me:
How on earth can you afford to
sell lamb chops at 16 cents pound p
II suppose if had been a customer
who frequently invested in lamb
might still be in ignorance of the
truth; but as the butcher knew
never bought that variety of meat he
was frank about it.
That isn't lamb, he said. That's
goat.

GOOD SUBSTITUTES FOR WORRY
Work, and the Right Kind of Work, Is
Proper Thing.

The usual advice given to the wor'
rier is. Don't worry" This advice is
foolish, because impractical, declares
Rev. s. s. McComb in Harper's Ba-
gar. No one can stop thinking, one
type of thought except by substituting
for 1t another. Besides, 1t is danger
GUS advice, for, even supposing one
could mechanically put an end to
worrying state of mind. he would SIM
ply be like an engineer who should
plant himself on the safety valve OF
his engine. The energy expended In
worry. turned inward on itself, would
tear the mental mechanism to pieces.
MOI What the worried man or woman
needs, evidently, is to be taught how
to find a healthful outlet for his or her
nervous power thus going to waste II
we say: Don't Worry let us also be
careful to add But work. and let
us also point out what kind of work
should be undertaken and the spirit
in which it ought to be done. In other
words, what the worrier needs is re
education.

LIFE IN RAREFIED ATMOSPHERE.
Scientists Have Proved Limit to
Which Human Beings May Ascend.

How high in the air can man rise
without dying? Twenty years ago it
was thought that 1t would be impos-
sibe to breathe at an atmospheric alti-
tude exceeding 5000 meters (25,00o
feet It was supposed that a man
would lose consciousness at 5000
meters.
But Messrs. Behring. and Suhring,
at Strasbourg, went up in balloon to
a height of 10000 meters $4,000 feet Z,
the greatest height ever attained, but
they were forced to inhale oxygen.
Strange to say, Prof Mosso of Italy
experimental on theory that man
must respire oxygen with a strong
proportion of carbonic acid If he
would successfully fight the dangers
of the rarefaction of air. 1t is said
that the theory is correct.
A pupil of his repeated the expert
ment, not by going up in a balloon,
but by shutting himself up in bell,
where. by means of pump, a gradu-
al increase of rarefaction was OBJ
tanned. When the exhaustion of air
reached a point al whlcn tne eAperi
menter began to collapse, specially
devised arrangement sent into the bel
a mixture of carbonic acid and oxygen
and he was Immediately relieved.
In the experiment. the exhaustion
finally attained equaled height OF
so. 900 feet (141-2 kilometersl. The ex
perimenter said: Il could have re
sisted an even greater rarefaction. FOL
