WAStllNGTON.-A little while after
w automobiles had come into gen

Germ themselves more with fancy than
with fact began to worry in their
columns about what they termed the
automobile face" They had cartoons
showing faces lined and marked, with
squinted eyes.
These came, the papers said, from
the habit of speeding cars. The papers
figured that when a motorist gripped
the wheel and started ahead at the
strip of dusty road that was spinning
under the car, there was so much
tension that the lines and squint came
without the drivers being aware of
them.
The papers have ceased to worry
about that now; for such papers do
not worry about any particular thing

London, Feb. 17.-For the first time
since he was stricken with paralysis
years ago Joseph Chamberlain put in
an appearance in the house of COM
mons and took the oath as member
of the new parliament. The advent
of the tariff reformer was quite unex-

who were being sworn in. Mr.. Cham
berlain walked with marked difficulty,
being assisted by his son, Joseph
Austen Chamberlain, and Lord Nor
peth.
Mr.. Chamberlain advanced to a
front seat before the bench, where the
oath was administered. When the
membership roll was placed before
him for his signature he required the
aid of Austen, who signed the name Of
the father, the latter appending his
mark. Still supported on either side
Mr.. Chamberlain moved to the speak
er's chair and shook hands with Mr.

Then the famous leader made his
way slowly from the chamber within

MONUMENT LAKE BOUNDARIES
international Commission to Mark Line
From Duluth to st. Lawrence,

from Duluth to st. Lawrence.
Scores of great monuments are to
be erected along the United States
and Canadian shores of the great lakes
from Duluth to the st. Lawrence, as
boundary marks. This has been de-
clded upon by the International wa
terways commission.
The present boundary lines between
the United States and Canada are an
Intangible thing and in many places
quite unsettled. The plan which has
been outlined by the international wa
terways commission and is now being
worked out contemplates locating at
every point where the boundary line
makes an angle two monuments di-
rectly opposite each other on the two
shores Of the lakes.
The exact number of monuments
which will be necessary will not be
known until the boundary line has
been definitely agreed upon and ap-
proved by the British government and
the federal authorities at Washington.
1t is said, however, that there may be
at least fifty. Designs for the monu-
ments have not yet been thought out,
but it is probable that they will be
