The Romantie sajv4s.

The young lieutenant in his trim and elegant uniform sa1uted in the stif and yet somehow graceful military manner a pretty matron.
 44The military sa1ute,o he said, 'tis peculiarly appropriate to- you, madam. Do you happen to know its origin7"
 ssNo."
 ''WelI, it's origin goes back to the days of chivalry, to the tournaments of the middle ages. Tn those tourna- ments the knights, before the combat began, rode past the queen of beauty on her. throne. As they caracoIed by her they simultaneously brought the hand to the horizontal position above the brows, then dropped it to the side again-a genuine military salute. And this they did in their chivalrous way to protect their eyes from the binding rays of the queen of beauty's loyeli- ness. That, madam. is the origin of the military salute, and that is why the military salute is so appropriate to one like you. Los Angeles Times.

A Sermon. on stonea.

Sam Buckalew was lone policeman in little town in Tennessee. His main duties were to look out for trouble in the negro part of theytown down by the creek, especially on Saturday nights. Came one night general fight in the bottom, after dance in cabin. The engagement, starting inside, grew too large to be accommodated indoors and continued outside. Rocks were handy, and the fracas extended. Sam Bucka- lew heard it all from a safe distance, but made no attempt to drive the en- emy across the Yalu. The justice of the peace called Sam to account next day.
 t'Why, Iooky here, Tom Keel-you aIl's honor, mean," Sam Buckalew protested, ''them rocks was fyin' near as thick as wheat boards. Maybe they wasn't ainin' to hit me, but don't you all know rocks ain't got no eyes T'- New York Post.

Establishments Taa.

If an Englishman could put his gos- pei of life into words he probably would say, 'Gfve me liberty and tea, but if can't have both I'll take the tea"
 There are few differences between England and America so marked as in this matter of preference for a hot drink. The United Kingdom uses 66 pounds of tea per capita per year. The United States uses only a little over one pound per capita, and probably the bulk of this is consumed by Brftpns and Canadians living in this country. On the other hand, the American peo- pie use 9.5 pounds of coffee per capita in the course of twelve months, while BritisherE consume less than a pound each in the same period.
 This last is not surprising however. Any American who has made acquadnt- ance with the stuff that bears the name of coffee in England, especially that served at the breakfast table, wfIlwvon- der why Britain uses any coffee at all. Chicago Journal

 The president experienced the fic- likeness of New England weather. From the sweItering mark of the last few days when the mercury hovered in the sos the temperature had dropped about 25 degrees this morning and a raw mild wind blew across the links. He entered the game attired in white duck reinfor ced with 8, heavy coat. Few in town knew that the President was to visit the club and many of those on the links did not at first recognize the distinguished golfer.

.LAUTERBACH TAKES STAND IN PROBE OF
 LOBBY ACTIVITIES

Washington, July 7-When L4auter- bach took the witness chair today, Chairman Overrnan of the investfgat- ing committee read to him a state ment made last week by Lewis Cass Ledyard, a New York lawyer, a1leg- ing that at 8 conference on February 8, Lauterbach had represented himself as coming with authority of Senator Stone and Speaker Clark to make proposals to J. P. Morgan & Co., and the Steel Corporation on behalf of Democratic leaders in Congress.
 Before LauterbacHa's examination went on the committee in executive session debated whether his testimony would give him immunity from prose- cution, if it developed that he and Lamar had violated federal or New York State statutes.
 When they. resumed the hearing Lauterbach assured the Senators that he came before committee voluntarily.
 eff there is any question in your mind as to immunity, waive it ab- solutely," said he.
 Lauterbach then explained at length his motives for desiring to rehabiliate himself in the good graces of the Mor- gan firm. He testified that until he had heard Representative Pa1mer's tes- tinony he knew nothing of Lamar's impersona ting congressman. Lau- terbach added he felt that Lamar t'in some way was the cause or the 1Q1S- affection of large corporations to nne.'' He knew Lamar was 'inpulsive and hasty'' in his actions, but that he had never known him to do anything wrong.
 Lamar had brought him 'in large and honorable business" and had in troduced him to 'sMr Rogers for whom he Lauterbach1 later did inn portant legal work. He denied he had talked with Ledard of Lamar's being engaged in .blacknailing" op- arafiOns
