Where Cardinals Get Their Hats.

To the countess of Flanders, so tra- dition has it, the cardinals owe their red hats. She complained to Pope h. nocent ". that in an a.semblage she could not distinguish cardinals from abbots and other great personages of the church, so the pope at the coun- cil of Lyons in 1245 prescribed the red hat to replace the miter, and red hat it has been ever since. In the constitution of Boniface VIII. 1t was enacted that cardinals should wear robes of royal purple, but since 1464 red robes have been worn and the purple usually appears only at Lent and Advent, when cardinals can be distinguished from bishops by the red skull cap, biratta and stockings.

 In the logging regions of the Pacific Northwest of course, where may be found perhaps the greatest of natures lumber store houses, the winter does not make the marked difference in condi- tions that it does in the forests of some other sections of the coun. try.

FALSE IDEAS or PERFECTION
Absurd Development Of Muscle Has
Little Part in Production of
Perfect Athlete.

A recent portrait of lumpy ath-
lete, who invites others, and not with
out success, to try his system CT
physical development, shows that the
false idea of physical perfection
which obtained for SO many years, and
which demanded huge and kpohby
muscles of its disciples, has not yet
quite died out. This type of manly
perfection, once useful perhaps to
hang armor upon, was thought to pos
sess the sanction of the golden age
of artistry when the l,Ibberly Farnese
Hercules came to light, to be hailed
as supreme product of the Greeks.
We know 1T now for an example Of
decadent Greek taste, fit companion
of the absurd and sensational Lao
coon. 1t is naught but type of the
strong man of vaudeville with his
clumsy masses of beef and his brain
of a spoiled child, fit only to push his
awkward dumb bells into the air, an
enviable sum of achievement truly
after lifetime of work by a civilized
human being. No less than strength,
+
are speed and grace demanded of the
ideal athletes, likewise a face Of re-
finement and intelligence TO tell of A
brain within to conf 'ehend art, music
and literature, and the ability to plan
victories either of peace or war. Look
upon the Apollo Belvidere, which en-
bodies the true dreams OF health and
mental and physical efficiency, with
its face of exquisite beauty above a
form whose lines are tranquil poetry,
yet shadow forth their readiness to
start into sinewy vigor when the call
for action comes Even the Indian,
the perfect savage, never resembled
the Farnese monstrosity. the emu
lators of which find their place in
modern life so much better filled by

thus opposing the pet theory of numerous
prominent men, Mr. Hays places his
objections on the ground that the best
blood Of the race always has been con-
tributcd by the country to the city and
that to. send. the derelicts Of the big urban
centers to the farms would be to weaken
the yigor OF the nation at its very source.
Not more farmers but better farming is
the way the Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture sums up the greatest need
Of the nation at the present day
"The country is confronted right at
this moment with the necessity o
doubling its yield of farm products, :
said Mr.. Hays to-day "The individual
efficiency of our farm operators must be
raised so that the average will be as
great as the best now is. This will be
accomplished not by decreasing the
quality of our farm population by adding
the unfit element of the cities. but by
imparting to the men who run oui farms
a thoroughly practical knowledge of the
best methods to be followed
THE difficulty in bringing about
thoroughly scientific farming throughout
the country is just this difficulty Of
securing the complete dissemination of
efficient methods. The Dcpa -tment OF
Agriculture and state institutions possess
the requisite knowledge Of farming
needs, farm business methods, possibili-
ties of profit in different lines, soil
characteristics and the like and need
only practical method of bringing home
to every farmer these essentials. Per-
liaps the most promising method yet put
forward is that embodied in bill now
before Congress providing for co-opera-
ton between the federal government
and the states in vocational education
with particular attention to agriculture.
AS it is proposed TO extend this system
widely throughout the country, including
vocational instruction in secondary
schools, the children of every rural COM
munity will be equipped with know
ledge of practical farming methods which
will be UNNECESSARILY valuable both TO
themselves and to the country at large

of the United States and declaring
that, in his opioion, the shortage win
amount to near 100000 cars by Oc-
tober /. w. A. Garrett, chairman or
the association of western railroads,
today sent a circular letter to all
railroad managers, requesting that
letters be sent to shippers, asking
them to cooperate with the roads in
preventing the famine.
Garrett asks that shippers avoid
the holding of cars in demurrage any
longer than is absolutely necessary
and advocates the immediate loading
and unloading Of freight at terminals
in order that the cars may be put into
circulation.
THE situation is serious" said
Garrett Nov, within a few weeks
of the opening of what promises to
be one Of the heaviest grain shipping
seasons in our country's history we
have a surplus of only $4,000 cars. A
month ago this surplus was almost
400 900. We cannot manufacture cars
fast enough to supply the demand.
We must have more cars or the food
supply of the united States will be
menaced. Grain must be novel from
The northwest, and even now we have
not enough of rolling stock to begin
moving it.

with us, railroads will be helpless 0
