JUST A MERE SUGGESTION
Huby's Plalnt, However, Threatened
to Develop Into a First-CIass
Family Spat.

"Gertrude!"
"Yes, John"
We've been married long enough
now to talk plainly to each other"
Whats the matter now?"
''If l do something you don't like
want you to tell me of it, and If You
10 things l don't like think ought
% tell you of them, too"
Il suppose 1 don't suit you at all?"
"Yes you do, but | think we ought
o talk over our likes and dislikes. In
hat way we can get along so much
Better"
John, want you to understand
tight now that was brought up every
5it as well as you, and know how to
ehave. And as to my cooking, I can
do as we'll as your mother ever did"
81 had hoped that you wouldn't lose
your temper. But If you're going to
act this way we may as well drop the
matter right here"
What is the matter, anyhow?
Il only wanted to suggest that when
you darn my socks 1t would be better
FOR me if you would tie the knots on
the outside, instead of the inside."

Uncomfortable.

Bushire, Persia.-The most useful
vehicles for long journeys in Persia

quaintest contriyances for travel to
be seen anywhere. These Persian

animal carries two Of them, one on

L.aroest Flyino Fl.h.


The largest flying fish ON record
was served up for hreakfast on the
British warship Ardeola a sl,ort time
ago. The Ardeola was homeward
bound and was on the Canary Islands
when large school of flying fish was
observed. They were apparently in
full flight from some deep sea enemy
and travelling rapidly. As the ship
met and passed them several few on
board and were seized by the crew as
welcome additions to the mess. One
OF the fish measured 1s inches; the
largest flying fab ever seen before the
Ardeola's catch have never exceeded
10 inches. The big ono was fried for
the captains breakfast, Flying fisal

MAY PRODUCE HUMAN LIFE
Ultimate Possibility Of 1t Is Suggested
by Professor Macallum,
the Scientist.

London.-The time may come when
human being can be constructed to
order in a chemical laboratory. So
it is limited by Prof. A. B. Macallum,
fellow of the Royal society and a dis
tinguished member Of the British As
sociation for the Advancement of Sci
ence. On his theory, an extra drop of
this, that or the other chemical solu-
ton poured into the crucible may turn
out, at will, Dante or a Nero, Car
negie of Ounce.
1T was customary" says Professor
Macallum, ito regard living matter as
unique, with parallel in the Inorganic
world and the secrets involved in its
actions and activities as unsolvable
enigmas. There were those also who
put forth, as an explanation for all
these manifestations, the Intervention
in so-called living matter of a force
otherwise and elsewhere unknown, BIZ
otic or vital, whose action was direct
ed, according to the character of the
structure through which 1t operated,
to the production of the phenomena
in question. Living protoplasm was,
in this view, but a mark and a me-
dium for action Of the unknown force"
He says the methods of the labora-
tory are not as yet those Of nature,
because nature works unerringly. un-
falteringly, with an amazing economy
of material and energy, while present
laboratory syntheses are but round
about ways to the waste sink.
He believes, though, that science
has made a start In the right direc-
ton and is approaching the discovery
of the function and composition Of
living cells. ITO that end" he adds,
"a greatly developed study of micro
chemistry is necessary. This should
apply the stimulus to enthusiasm in
the search for reactions that will en-
able us to locate with great precision
in the living cell the constituents, in
organic and organic, which affect it's
physical state and thereby influence
its activity"

BOUND TO BE JAP'S BRIDE
Girls Mother Says He Seems to Tx
ercise an Uncanny Influence
over Her.

Asbury Park, N. J.-Miss Winifred
Louise Barnes of Geneva, N. j., has
confided to close friends that she in
tends to marry her wealthy Japanese
suitor, Sangora Ono, despite all oppo-
sition.
Since the calling off of their mar
riage, which was to have taken place
last Sunday at the Little Church
Around the Corner in New York
called off for reasons not stated
Miss Barnes has been inaccessible to
newspaper men. Mr.. Ono also has
been inaccessible to newspaper men.
Mr.. Ono also has been unapproach-
able, even changing his place of resi-
dence.
But Ono was found at last at his
boardwalk auction room.
1T is matter between ourselves"
he said. mo, we are not married
yet"
He would say no more.
There is reason to believe that op-
position of the mother of the bride
was the cause of the wedding being
Interrupted. She has told friends that
the Japanese seems to have some un-
canny influence over her daughter,
and that she (the mother) will dis
own her If she marries him.
Ono has often been seen accom-
panying Miss Barnes to her boarding
place, the Plaza hotel, and parting
from her with a fond look and a
squeeze of the hand.
