il developed that the smokers did
not attempt to do as much work as
the nonsmokers. The smokers start
ed with an average of three and two
thirds subjects apiece, while. the aver
age for the nonsmokers was exactly
four studies each. Dividing the num-
Der of failures among the smokers
we find that each smoker failed in
one and 6ve-ninths subjects on the
average, and among the nonsmokers
the average failure would be only
nine-fourteenths per pupil.
Among other interesting data bear
ing on these cases is the fact that
the average age of the smokers shows
them to be older than the average
nonsmoker with whom they have
been compared. Also those smokers
who did the best work are old for
their grade and are taking some of
the work over making the subjects
studied not wholly new to them, and
the failures among the nonsmoking
boys were largely those from the
country districts who were entirely
unfamiliar with the work or their
surroundings The case is thereby
made doubly strong against the using
of tobacco by high school students.

With the middle of September the
ire season on the national forests has
come practically to an end with less

officers throughout the West are con-

markedly free from heavy losses, due
to two principal causes, partly to a

that money is something more than

was the technical and scientific appli-
cation of the term. and added that
money was only that which was des-
ignated by law. The law can make
tobacco lawful money. 1t can make
cucumbers lawful money"
However, according to Mr.. Hayes.

cucumbers into such use, and it might
be supposed that since he is a great
producer of prunes, they might make

Shaking up the Tariff.
Representative Serene E. Payne, the

that he had remarked to his friend,
Underwood of Alabama" when the
tariff bill bearing the leaders, name
came back from the senate "he would
not be able to recognize it if he met it
on the street." How well the proph-
ecy came true-since the senate re-
turned the tariff bill with 676 amend

SO changes were made, while q ap-
peared in the cotton schedule, practi-
cally making a complete change in
that schedule. In the wooden sched-
ule there were 25 changes, and in the
metal schedule 20.
Mr.. Foster of Illinois was rude
enough to remind the valiant old New
York war horse that when the Payne
bill came back from the senate it
would not have been recognizable by
its parent If he had met it on the
street. But Foster absolved Mr..
Payne from any censure for standing
up for his bill, which he said, " is soon
to be buried in timely grave. with no
mourners save himself and few men,

Representative Anderson of Mime

Der of the all-powerful committee on
ways and means of the house of rep
sentatives. The complaint of Mr.. Ander-
son is that as a Republican his men,
bership of the committee was tame and
uneventful and that by reason of the
Democratic caucuses and the fact that
in the committee only the majority
were allowed to participate, in franz
ing the tariff and currency bills, he
has become overwhelmed, discourage
ed, disheartened, by the uselessness
and fruitlessness of it ALL"

all very thrilling to witness such a

fact remains that it has always been
