BRYAN SUBMITS HIS PLAN
Tells Diplomat of Peace PIans-Presi'
 dent Wilson Discusses.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Washington. - Secretary Bryans plan for International peace agree ments was submitted to the diplomatic corps, with practically every ambassa- dor and minister in Washington pres ent. The diplomats had assembled at the state department upon the secre- tarys invitation 10 near the proposal explained.
 Later President Wilson made known his views on the plan at an informal conference with newspaper men at the White House
 The president talked of the subject in general way. indicating that the details would be worked out by nego- tiatfon. The general proposal he has Ia mind is that the contracting nations should never go to war over any dis pute before there has been an investi- gation Of facts involved. The plan would be not to bind the nations to abide by any decision of the investigat- ors, but merely 10 effect a suspen- sion of judgment until impartial per sons have looked into the circum- stances at issue.
 AS originally submitted to the senate foreign relations committee, the draft of the plan contained a sentence bear ing upon the suspension of warlike preparations during the period of in- vestgation, but this was stricken from the copy distributed formally to mem bers of the diplomatic corps.
 The presidents explanation of the omission was that it was deemed ad- visable to eliminate details at this point and questions to be determined by negotiations by each particular na- tion
 The president considers that the plan of limiting armaments is feasi- ble only if every nation enters into a genreal arrangement.

That day the family had had an old fashioned hog killing. It is very hard for those unfortunates who have never witnessed country hog killing to real ize just what the work of such a day means. George Creel must have had that in mind when he coined greasy domesticity"

Hicks For June.

Profit Irl R. Hicks says: 1.-THE falling
barometer and storms of rain and wind
which will develop in the West about
the I'd will reach different longitudes
in their eastward progress, on and
touching the Sd and 4th." These things
will go in this manner until about the
10th, 18th and 18th. Then thunder
gusts will bob up from all directions
and we shall have heavy storms illus
trated by volcanic outbursts, northern
lights and occasionally whirlwinds and
tornadees. The latter part of June
we will be in for prolonged spell of
cloudy and threatening weather. Not
word about sunshine in the whole
forecast, although the seer hastens to
assure US that upon the whole the gen.
eral outlook for June is about abnormal
and throws out dark hint of drought
to come. He also hands out some
time-honored advice concerning the
necessity of taking common sense pre-
cautions during thunder storms.

Nice Mixture.

Disraeli appears to have been en-

digestion. When he visited Spain in
1880 he wrote his mother glowing &C
counts of "the most agreeable dish
in the world-an olio. I will explain
it to you, for my father would delight
in it. There are two large dishes, one
at each end of the table. The top
one contains bouilli beef, boiled pork
sausage, and black pudding The other
is medley of vegetables and fruits,
generally French beans, caravanseras,
and whole peas. Help each person to
a portion of the meats, and then to
the medley. Mix them up in your plate
together, and drown them in tomato
sauce. I have eaten this every day;
it is truly delightful"

feeds, which has made cattle feeding
risky and expensive undertaking, es-
pecially as for considerable time the
prices received were unsatisfactory
from the feeders standpoint. For
these various reasons cattle raising
went into disfavor, and the present
greatly restricted supply is the result.
The time has come when we must
conserve our meat supply and take
steps to increase it, and at the present
remunerative prices for food animals
it is probable that this will be gradual
ly accomplished. Farmers generally
and especially those in the corn belt,
should take advantage of the situation
to develop cattle feeding under the
present favorable conditions. The
South has great possibilities for the
future as cattle-raising country, but
the development of this industry there
must await the determination of the
cattle ticks, which. fortunely, IS being
repidly accomplished by the joint efforts
of the Government and the States.

Earth as a Thermometer,

The general rate of increase in the
temperature of the earth's crust is
about one degree Fahrenheit for every
IS feet of descent. If this rate were
invariable scale might be marked
on the wall Of a mine shaft which
would indicate the temperature like
the graduations of thermometer. In
fact, however, the rate varies in diff
ferent regions, and Muhlberg and
Konigsberger have suggested that
these variations may be of advantage
in demonstrating the existence of
deep deposits of coal and oil, and pos.
sibly of other valuable minerals. The
presence of such deposits causes an
abnormal rise of temperature above
them; but no deductions concerning
their presence can be drawn from bore
holes less than 900 feet in depth

Amendment to the Constitution.
an amendment which provides
that United States Senators shall
be elected by direct vote of the
people.
The States must follow the
new constitutional mendate in
selecting their Senators or else
go unrepresented in the upper
branch of Congress. No Senator
now holding a seat in that body,
however, is affected during his
current term of Office.
The ceremony was simple
though necessarily formal. 1t
took place in the big reception
room of the Secretary's suite of
offices. Surrounding Mr.. Bryan
were a number Of statesmen who
had played a part in the long
fight for this reform; department
heads and perhaps. twoscore Of
correspondents.
Mr.. Bryan provided himself
with four pens for the occasion.
The first was used to sign the
word william" and then given
to Mr. Tucker who was present,
as souvenir. With the second
the Secretary signed the word
Jennings" then handing the
pen to Representative Rucke1
who was also present. The third
was used in writing the word
Bryan" and this the Secretary
kept himself. The date of the
proclamation was written with
the fourth pen, which Senator
Borah received as a memento.
AS soon as the signature had
been affixed Mr.. Bryan express
ed qualification over the fact
that the duty of officially an
nouncing the ratification Of the
Seventeenth Amendment had
fallen to him as the short time
required for the States to act
proved that the sentiment in
favor of the reform was practi-
cally unanimous throughout the
country.

Students Thoughts on Commencement

The commencement season is
right here, and even if the mails
are not overloaded with the stiff
and unwieldly invitations, it
would be possible to tell that the
time was approaching by the
number of happy, hopeful faces
of the idle young people who
have finished up and are only
waiting to commence.
They are not students, for
they spurn books, and they are
not alumni yet, and they do not
belong to the big unscholastic
world. After the terrible sus-
pense and pressure of the final
class work they are so thoroughly
satisfied with life and so cheer
full that they make the best kind
of company. Thus it is they are
being made the guest even in
their homes. Honor and homage
is being paid to. them.
If they have skipped through
school year after year on an al
lowance they now are having the
new joy of extra money just to
waste on fripperies. The girls
and the boys alike are spending
money with greater recklessness
than at any other period of their
lives. Many have fine summer
trips in prospect with money
enough to equip their wardrobe
for the journey. They are the
envy alike of the Undergraduates
and OF the post-graduates. 1t is
a great time for them.

When Napoleon Was Expected.

The belfry of Wrabness church, in
Essex, England, looks more like an am
cient summer house than belfry. It's
chief interest lies in the fact that it
contains two huge saws made at the
time when Napoleon was supposed to
be on the point of invading England.
These saws were to be used for cut
ting down trees, with which the roads
were to be blocked against the in-
vaders. This, however, was but one
of many means which were devised to
repel the invaders. Perhaps better
known are the series of curious Mar
tello towers which dot portions of
the southern coast of England and the
military canal, which runs from
Hythe to within a short distance of
Hastings.
