lovers of athletics will welcome the
movement started in the United States
Congress to get the 1915 Olympiad for this
country. The American authorities have
practically promised the games to Cleve-
land. provided they are awarded to this
country. and the Ohio men have invoked
the aid Of this government to get them
here. At this writing 1t is Impossible to
predict what the international commit
tee will do, but it Is quite likely to be
fayorably impressed with the steps that
have been taken to secure the games
AS a matter of fact this country is
likely to have considerable opposition, for
Germany and Italy are very keen to get
the games Berlin waived her right to
pet the games in 1912 in favor OF Stock

receive any assurance that they would
have them next, they let 1T be known that
they would expect them In 1915. Then If

there ia no doubt that this country de-

this connection 1t should be pointed out
that the United States has done more
to foster these games than any other

Little French Doctor Pleases
Society Women with
His Nonsense.

PARTS, Nov. 11.-Henri Bergson is
lust now, the vogue OF the fashionable
world. His lecture room at the Sor-
'bonne seating some hundreds Is aaut-
ter with society women who squeeze
into a foot OF hard bench between
students OF the university to hear his
utterances.
The appearance OF the little white
haired man causes a lnurmur OF greet
ing and expectation. lie walks quick
ly to his place. sits down behind the
table, folds his hands and awaits the
immediate silence. las he speaks his
blue eyes shine with an extraordinary
brightness, his face Is illuminated and
this illumination seems to DE rejected
in tho faces OF his listeners for his
words are a call to hope and action.
Bergson repeats and develops the
Idea that the capacities OF mind. the
potential possibilities OF all Indivldu-
alsaare the same. The diversity among3
individuals he attributes mainly to a
lack OF individual effort which may
arise from a variety OF causes, cerebral
derangement being an important one.

The Remedy for tins.

Periodically protest arises against
the payment OF tips" and fees
These have become as common in
American life for all manner OF per-
sona1 service as in Europe, and are
far more burdensome because the
scale OF payment is higher than
abroad: The National League OF
Commercial Travellers has begun
the movements against tips this
time Its members spend, it Is es-
timated, $3.50 100000 year on trav-
cling expenses and. believe they dis
burse $5O,000,o00 or $55,Oo0,OoO in
fees yearly.
One million dollars week or
M ore is worth saving, but the reso-
luton of the National League and
the pledges OF it's members to pay
no tips will not keep this sum in
their pockets. The movement will
fail, as have others before it. de-
clares the Philadelphia Press.
The remedy for tips lies not in
the greater economy by the man who
pays; but in greater self-respect in
the man who works. No one gains
by the ''tip." When education has
increased, avenues of employment
free from the miasma OF tips have
multiplied and the self-respect every
American should feel leads men and
women to refuse any pay from any
one, but an honest and fair wage
honestly earned and paid by the em-
ployer, and only by the employer,
tins Will disappear.

a Back Sliding Victory

sldestepping any painful reference
to the Overwhelming Republican
victories in New York state, Mary

newspapers are concentrating their
attention to the results of the cleo
tion this week in Massachusetts and
with that as their basis they are hg-

A HOMEMADE ICE CHEST.
Will Cost You Less Than Twelve ShiI-
lings, Plus a Little Labor.

A very simple homemade ice chest
can be prepared for $40 by taking
a soap box some sawdust and two
pals with a cover for one of them,
says the Boston Herald. An inch or
two or sawdust is spread on the bot
tom of the box, then the uncovered
pail is put on that and the rest of the
sawdust packed tightly round the pail
to the level of the top. The lid of
the box should have six or eight
newspapers tackled on the under side
with a clean sheet Of brown paper
over all, and then our ice chest is
ready for use. The covered pail
must be small enough to fit inside of
the other and to be easily taken out
and scalded daily.
Into it are put the bottles of milk,
tightly corked. and IS large a piece
of ice as possible, the cover put on
the pail and the lid Of the box shut
and kept shut except when it is nee
essary to get out some milk. In this
way a small piece of ice will last a
surprisingly long time and keep the
milk as cool as is necessary, at a very
tr1f1ing cost. Tin or agate ware pals
are best, as they have no odor and
are easily scalded.
OF course the sawdust and the pa
per on the lid must be renewed when
necessary. II the consumer cannot
pay the smalls sum necessary for the
little ice required by the homemade
ice chest, the bottle of milk must be
kept standing in cold water in a deep
pan for from the sink or any possible
odor. and the water changed as Of
ten as it grows warm; or if it is i'm
wrapped round the bottle will keep
the milk quite cool by the evapora-
ton Of moisture from it, but it must
be kept constantly wet.
