But many curious facts have recently

For instance, when We sleep. the
half OF Us weighs more than the upper

alteration. The majority Of mankind appauds the conqueror. but

Those that are most assured in their condemnation O. the brber,
disclosed in the election of Lorimer need not waste Indignation OF
those that strewed his path with roses n his return home. The only

Urge California to
Recall a Senator

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Feb. 13.-Re-
call of a United States Senator-elect
is the startling proposal which is be-
ing made In the California Legislature.
the idea being to recall the election
of Judge John D. Works, of Los An
geles. because he has backslided from
the progressive Republican ranks.
Judge Works was recently elected to
the Senate to succeed Senator Frank
P. Flint, to take his seat March 4,
his election over A. G. Spalding follow
ing a controversy as to which was the
rfghtful choice of the Republican pri-
maries. Judge Works was believed to
be ap insurgent Republican, or por-
gressfNe. and 1t was really on this
issue that he won.
Reform running mad is a phrase
Works regarding the present legis-
lature, which has Just become public,
and this has stirred up the progressives.
State Senator ]. B. Sanford. a Demo-
crat, will try to get action this week
on a resolution formally recalling the
election Of Judge Works. Senator San
ford has consulted with many progress
sive Republicans, and he thinks there
is fair possibility Of making combi-
nation of Democrats, progressive Re-
publicans who wish to rebuke Judge
Works, and spalding men who would
like to see Works defeated, to get a
majority. He is confident that under
the State constitution such proceeding
would be legal.
Willoughby Cole, eighty-eight, the or
ganizer Of the Republican party in the
State, is suggested as a man all could
agree upon.

Her Name Is Unknown.
Likewise Is Her Age

Who is the veteran teacher of the
Washington public schools?
In the natural course of events there
is such a parsonage, but unless she
chooses to make herself known her
name and fame will rest under a busheI
of reports containing the ages of va
rious public school teachers now In the
hands of the Secretary Of the Board of
Educat ton
Nearly all the returns are in and un-
less there is later information on the
subject she is more than seventy years
old and has been in the service about
fifty years.
Further Information the school OFF,
cials chivaffously decline to divulge on
the ground that she is a woman. Sec
retary Harry Hine declined to risk tell
ing the name and Superintendent. of
Schools A. T. Stuart cheerfully said
he didn't know and added that he didn'.
think 1t would be gentlemanly for him
to try to find out. Just the same, there
Is pronounced suspicion that he does
know, for he added, She is a woman
and don't think she would like IL

The counting up of ages was asked
for by Henry P. Blair and a report will
be made to him at the next Board Of
Education meeting on Wednesday,
Names will not be used. They are all
locked in the safe and the secretaries
who are doing the counting are using a
list, on which the teachers are identified
by numbers, and Secretary Hine keeps

Then the superintendent proceeded
to display some late additions to the

One Is from a magazine asking that
manners be taught. another requests
that dancing form a fundamental part
o fthe education of youth. and the
crusaders against profanity want to
make use of the school system to
stamp out the special evil they are
fighting.
Scarcely a week passes that the ali
of the school head is not sought for
some temperance campaign; anti
cigarette organizations want the evils
of cigarette smoking taught from a
biological standpoint and one re-
iigious worker thinks the school chill
dren should know more about ny
