This Peculiar World.

This is peculiar world, says an ex- change. One is struggling for justice and another is fleeing from it. One man is saving to build house and an- other is trying to sell his for less than cost to get rid of it. One man is spend ing all the money be can make in talk ing a girl to the theater and sending her flowers, with the hope of making her his wife, while his neighbor is spending what gold he has in. getting a divorce. One man escapes all the dis eases that flesh is heir to and gets kill ed on railroad Anather escapes with a scratch and dies with the whooping cough. One man stands off his credi- tors and goes travelling while another pays his debts and stays at home.

Henry Clay's Popularity.

The greatest popular idol in a po- litical sense the country has ever known WAS Henry Clay. Only one other American statesman ever pos sessed the quality called personal mag netism to the same extent that he did, and no other ever had a more enthusi- astic personal following. He was an aspirant for president from 1924 to 1S4S, but never reached the goal. He received 37 electoral votes in 1924, 49 in 1882 and 1O5 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 sena- tor. once unanimously by the Kentucky legislature, and held several other high offices. If there was ever a popular idol in the politics of this country, it was Henry Clay, but he could not be elected president.-Indianapo Jour- nal

The old Plane Tree of Cos.

In the island of Cos in the lEgian sea, there stands, jealously guarded, a huge plane tree measuring nearly eight cen yards in circumference. It is sur rounded by a podium, or raised plat form breast high, doubtless built to support the trunk of the tree after 1t had become hollow and weak from age. The lower branches are still we'll pre- served and have been shored up by pieces of antique columns. over the up- per ends of which the branches have grown like caps in consequence of the pressure of their own weight. Close by the tree is a solid marble seat, which is said to be the chair of Hippocrates, the father of medicine, and it is supposed that he taught the art of healing from that seat. He was born at Cos AGO B. c. This gives a clew to the age of the celebrated plane tree, which must be considerably more than 2,OO0 years old.

Our Voices Deepen.

The primitive inhabitants of Europe were all tencrs; their descendants of the present time are baritones, and flu ture generations will have semibass voices. The voice has q tendency to deepen with age. The tenor of twenty becomes the baritone of twenty eight and the bass of thirty-six. The inferior races have higher pitched voices than the more cultured. The negro has a higher voice than the white man. Among white races, the fair complex toned man has a higher voice than his darker skinner brother The former is usually q baritone or a tenor the Ia tier a contralto or bass. It is asserted that tenors are usually of slender build whereas passes are stout, but there are too many exceptions to such rule for 1t to be reliable. The same remark ap- plies to the statement that thoughtful men have deep toned voices and vice versa. The tones of voice are per ceptibly higher before than after a meal, for which reason tenors are gen. erally careful not to sing too soon after dmner.-Pearson's Weekly.

TO MENACE HEALTH.
ACCESSIBILITY of Disseminating
Them Discussed with City
Officials.
FAVOR SUGGESTION THAT
SHOWERS BE SUBSTITUTED
General Committee OF Civic In
terests Appointed to Go
Further Into the Matter.

The advisability of disseminating the
use of the pools in the public bath
houses was discussed at a meeting of
the Public Bath Improvement Associa-
ton held last night at the Free Public
Library. The meeting was called by
the chairman, Mrs. Frederick C. Jacob
son, n was attended by representa-
tives of a number of civic organiza-
tions.
Mrs. jacobson opposed the use of the
swimming pools because, under pres
ent conditions. they could not be alb
solutely sanitary. She said that the
suits worn by the children, who were
allowed to enter without a prelimin-
airy shower, were not properly sterilized
by simply being rinsed and dried, and
could be the means of transmitting
germs. The pool in the Summer We
III house is not in use, and the chair
man requested the cooperation of the
Board of Works in closing it perma-
nently.
Further suggestion was made that
the present Z pools be covered n
shower baths erected over them as a
temporary arrangement until the new
bathhouse, to be erected at Il, 19 and
81 Clayton street, shall be ready for
occupancy. Chief Engineer Morris r.
Shcrrerd, speaking on the subject, de-
ciared himself in favor of the idea and
estimated that the baths could be so
arranged for the suin of $4,000. 1t was
voted to make application for that sum.
Commissioner Arthur r. Denman, of
the Board of Works, said that the
boarda was most grateful for the inter-
est and cooperation of the association,
and declared that the aid of the MEM
pers would be invaluable. About the
new Clayton street bathhouse. Mr.. Den
man thought best to appoint a commit
