So FAR Stokes and his bin, which

have been the bright particular stars
OF the session. When the bill disap-

that some shady" work was done. as

Porter Charlton Appeals to Court
to Prevent Extradition to Italy

alleged confession described how he
had struck the woman on the head in
a quarrel and killed her.
Charlton's father. Paul Charlton,
until recently United States judge in
Porto Rico. has fought unrelentingly
to prevent his son being taken back to
Italy for trial Two grounds are ad-
vanced for this position. One is that
Italy has refused to return italian sub
jects to America TO answer charges of
crime under the treaty of 1868 and
therefore the United States cannot be
called upon to return American citi-
zens to Italy. The other defense is
that Charlton was insane at the time
of the offense and at the time of the
extradition hearing and that the New
Jersey courts improperly decline to
admit evidence to support thaA.

misuslno the Dictionary

Il is not the use, but the misuse of
the dictionary that Is deplorable,
writes Robert J. Menner in The Allan
tic. When one happens upon a strange
word II is quite natural to refer to
the dictionary, both for its meaning
and its pronunciation. The pronun-
citation Of technical terms Of an art or
science with which we are unfamiliar
can often be learned in no other way.
But when the dictionary is appealed
to as an infallible however unreason-
able Judge, when monstrosities and
century-old fossils are exhumed from
its pages to be Haunted in the faces
of our friends, It is time to recall its
true function OF mere recorder.
II we should use our energies, spent
In this pleasant but absurd revival Of
antiquities, in occasionally noticing
pronunciation which, though com
mon, slight SELECTION would prove to
be at least extremely careless, we
should appease the goddess of ortho-
epy In a much more satisfactory man
ner.

Golf Probably From Holland.

Golf is popularity supposed to have
had its origin in Scotland, but there
seems to be good reason for believing
that 1t came from Holland. The name
itself is undoubtedly of German or
Dutch extraction, and an enactment
of James l. of England, bearing date
1913, refers to considerable importa-
ton of golf balls from Holland, and at
the same time places a restriction
upon this extravagant use, in a foreign
country, of the coin of the realm.

substance not unlike molasses. This

READING REALLY A FINE ART
Aim Should Be to Extract Best From
Book Without Having to
Read II Through"
Advertisement.

The duty of taking the reading Of
the run Of books, old and new, more
seriously, and going through the
whole with grim determination, rests
heavily on the consciences of many.
We do not here refer says the New
York Times, to reviewers, or the old
jokes about their preserving critical
tmpartiality by not reading the works
of which they write notices. The
question is, rather, of those who read
for pleasure, or to amass information,
or to keep their intellectual interests
alive. Must it be woe to them if they
do not read each volume to the bitter
end? The best answer is to be had
from the great readers. Macaulay
could dispose of half a dozen books
in his cab on the way to the house Of
commons. Naturally, he did not read
them through" But if there was any
thing in any of them that he wanted,
his unerring eye hit upon the passage.
That was enough for him. He had
squeezed out the juice, and what did
he care about the pulp? Dr. Johnson
had similar habits. Adam Smith said
of him: johnson knew more books
than any man." yet, Immediately aft
er recording this tribute, Boswell
wrote of his hero: "He had a peculiar
facility in selling at once what was
valuable in any book, without submit
ting it to the labor of perusing it
from beginning to end"
