CHOICE MISCELLANY
The Banquet Hookmaster.

ALI hail the POSTMASTER, We Chicago
banqueters!
Next, kotow to the hookmaster!
He is the latest addition to the GER
emonial staff Of the proper large din
ner function, where speeches are
scheduled. 1t is the duty of the toast
master to start things, but the hook
master ends them. Long prosy ad-
dresses, dragged out regardless of time
limits and setting heavy on the aver
age digestion, are brought to happy
terminus by the efforts Of the banquet
hookmaster.
At a recent downtown dinner of
south side political workers the hook
master was introduced for the first
time. He bore a real hook Of amateur
night proportions Further, he was
equipped with an alarm clock, which
pealed wildly at the end of every five
minute easement Of oratory. No 'un-
toward" scene occurred, for, mindful
Of the grim poise Of the hook, each
speaker rigidly restricted himself to
his allotted speech portion.
1t has been suggested that at meet
ings Of various characters the hook
master might supplant the dormant
sergeant-at-arms.-Chicago Tribune.

PROTEST. STRONG AND

DIRECT.
Is It not time that the citizens OF
Shreveport and Of the Red River Val
ley shall awaken to action, in a protest
strong and direct against the proposed
dam Of the Red river.
The scheme, recently revived into &C
tivity, IS in substance as in 1882 when it
was defeated and as i must now be
overwhelmed, if determined effort is
directed to that end.
Several weeks since, when the scheme
ct DETECTING the Red river into the
Atchafalaya was given publicity d the
New Orleans press, the Caucasian. with
out hesitation Or reservation, voiced its
opposition in no uncertain sound and
pointed out the increased dsnger from
foods and other disadvantages which
must follow the danlrniilg OF the Red as

The Artif;eial Slower craze,

Not only are artificial flowers worn
universally, but they are also min
gled with the real ones they copy In
house and table decorations. As arti-
fetal maidenhair ferns are perfect In
appearance and have stems that can
be put in water, so the Illusion is
complete. They are much used with
artificial orchids in the automobile
vases, where a lasting effect is de-
sired, and many of the garages have
adopted the plan OF having punches
of flowers for the limousines they
rent for evening use.

RADIUM DEVELOPS NEW
VARIETY OF PRIMROSES
University of Missouri Professor
Makes interesting Discoveries
While Experimenting.

COLUMBUS, Mo-. May 3.--Accord-
ing to Prof. c. Stuart eager OF the
University of Wisconsin. who for two
years has been experimenting, many
curious results may be produced in
plant life by the use of radium.
An entirely new species of primrose
has been developed by the use OF
radium. and it has held true to the
new form through three generations
OF the plant. The color Of the flower
was changed and the leaves changed
from broad to narrow.
IL Is possible TO accelerate or re.
tard the growth Of the plants by ex.
posing them to the radium rays. Sew.
eral seeds of oats were planted in the
same flower pot with tubes of radium.
and the seeds terminated In half the
regular time and the plant grew twice
az fast.
In another experiment, when the
amount of radium had been increased
and used in bromide form, the germin-
alton of the seeds was retarded.

THEORIES OF ARMY
BOARD ARE UPSET

washington, May 22.-Fantastic theo'
v,es regarding the use of colored under
clothes to repel the heat in the tropics
have been dispeled by a report made by
the army board for the study of the trop-
ical diseases in the Philippines
About Is months ago 5000 suits of orange
red underwear and a corresponding num-
Der of orange red hat bands were sent
to the Philippines. These were distrib-
uted so that one-half of a company
should be clad in the new garments and
the other half in the ordinary white un-
derclothes.
The army surgeons kept close watch
upon the men, but they failed to find
that the colored underwear brought any
relief from the tropical heat, although
British army officers in India HAD report
ed that such underwear was much more
comfortable in hot weather than white.
The medical board found that the col
ored underwear, which, by the way, was
unpopular, added materially to the bur-
den of heat upon the system. which is a
great cause of tropical deterioration. 1t
is admitted that the orange red is
protection against the chemical rays of
the sun, but the same result is obtained
from the khaki and the tan-coored cam
paign hat of the American soldier.
The experiments were conducted witt,
Jhe greatest care and voluminous rec
ords were made of blood pressure, of loss
of weights and of general conditions. The
results were the same in the case of
either the white skin of the American
or the brown skin of the Filipino.

FAMOUS EXPERT
ON LOCKS Is DEAD

San Antonio. Tex, May Especially
Although George p. Assman. the IA
nous safe wizard, who died a few days
ago at Austin, Tex, possessed knowl-
edge that might have tempted less
honest man to enrich himself at the
expense of others. he lived and died a
relatively poor man. Throughout his
life he demonstrated that there was no
safe-lock- or combination that could
Withstand him. and there was not a
safe or vault that stood not open to
him without the crude methods of the
safe blower. In opening safe to
which the combination had been forgot
ten or in which the mechanism of the
lock had gone wrong, Assman never
depended on rules or his sight. touch
and hearing supplying him invariably
with the key. This remarkable fact
he demonstrated many times. His
method in opening a comb ina tion lock
seemed extremely simple. Sitting be-
fore the safe or vault he would turn the
knob until the lock would act 1t was
his boast that he needed no tools to
open any safe in the country as long
as no tools had been used in closing 1t.
His services were in constant demand
all over the south and southwest. On
one occasion the great vault of the New
Orleans subtreasury could not be open
ed for the reason that part of its lock
mechanism had failed. After making
every effort to open 1t the treasury of
fcials finally sent for Assman who sue
ceeded in opening it in very short
time. Before Assman left the vault he
inquired as to his compensation which
he thought should amount to $500.
This sum. however, was fatty refused
him. and without saying another word
the safe wizard swung the huge door
back into place, leaving the officials to
gaze in amazement. Since there was
no one to open the door, Assman was
arrested sh ortly afterward for interior
ing with the property of the govern
ment. The case was tried as soon as
this could be done, and, the law being
to some extent on the side of the safe
expert, an agreement was made where
by he was to get the sum of $500 and
all expenses for his services. Assman
then opened the fe and put the lock
in order. As rule he was able to tell
exactly VIII en- the door would open, and
had he been criminally inclined, not an
safe in the country would
have been secure.

BELGIAN ELECTIONS
ARE VERY IMPORTANT

Brussels, May 2e.-Elections for deputies
were held in various districts and the
result, OF the ballots may have an i'm
portant effect on the political situation.
The liberals and socialists have COM
bined to crush the clerics who have been
III control for the last rs years.
The original majority of the clerics was
10, but this was gradually reduced to
eight seats. The allies have bent all of
their energies to gain at least four seats
and overthrow the domination of the cler-
les. The fight has been made by the lib
erals and socialists on certain reforms
including the substitution of simple uni
versal suffrage for the present system OF
plural voting based upon property and
higher educational attachments, and the
enforcement of compulsory education as
against the present system, which is
largely religious.
The elections were held in five provinces
which are entitled to So seats out of a
total of 166, but up to midnight no defin-
lite returns had been received The pres
ent representation in these provinces is:
Cleric so, liberal %, socialist ~.

AERONAUT FALLS
OYER 1000 FEET

thousand persons late yesterday after
noon saw OSCAR Leroy, an aeronaut, take
a plunge of 1000 feet at cannon ball speed
and land among the smokestacks of the

ing more than 200 persons to the ground.
Many were badly hurt but mono fatally.
Both accidents were caused by the rains.
Leroy arose at o'clock. At the height
of 1000 feet he cut loose. For 800 feet he
fell with terrific speed, the watersoaked
parachute failing to open. For the lat
ter part of his drop a small part Of

CONFIDENCE GAME Is
WORKED IN BOSTON

Philadelphia, May Pat a further
hearing before United States commits"
sioner here today e. A. Starkehoff and
George W. Post, accused of being green
goods swindlers and confidence men
were held in $4,000 and $1,000 bail re-
spectively for a hearing on June l, on
charges of using the mails to defraud.
Thirteen letters alleged to have been
sent by the prisoners to prospective VIC
tins in England and Scotland were pro
duced They were addressed to persons
who had been dead but short time.
The letters held out promises of wealth
through the discovery of gold mines.
One of these letters brought Kenneth Lee
from London to Boston. where he wns
induced to part with $25.0Vo. Soon after
he went home. postal inspectors say, Lee
received a letter telling him he had been
duped and advising him to say nothing
about It, as 1t would only create laugh.
