sulness" should be spent on such a
university, he said.
Speaking Of the need of a national
university in Washington, Mr.. Bar
rett said:
Washington is unique among the
capitals of the world, In that it is sole
ly the capital and not mighty, ma
terial and commercial center and en-
treport where fashion. society. the all
mighty dollar and the mad rush of
worldly competition act as deterrents
upon the young man and woman try
ing to get an education. Washington
has the ideal atmosphere and condi-
tions of life for a great educational
center.
This thought prompts me to express
the hope that one of the notable fea-
lures of Washington in the future is
to be that of the location and devel-
opment here of all classes of educa-
tional stitutions-technical, profess
sional, collegiate. academical and 9TH
ers-which will provide the ambitious
young American man and woman
with every and any kind of schooling
he or she requires for success in life.
In this connection it seems to be
inevitable that there must be estab-
lished here presently, and the sooner
the better, a great national university
to which the graduates of colleges all
over the United States and the world,
and also the students of lesser insti-
tutions, can come to round out their
education and secure that special
training which the governmental ia
cilities Of Washington can provide.
If we can only cut out a small
portion Of the vast sum Of money that
we spend on pensions, pork barrel
bills and other measures, which have
doubtful usefulness, and utilize it
for the establishment and mainte.

ernment, we would bring here thou.

young men and women not only of the
United States, but of all other nations

make them better, more patriotic and

monooIIan Lamas.

Every third man in Mongolia is a
lama. Some live in tents, with and
on their relatives, while others live
In the temples. The temple lamas
are of the lower type; they are coarse
and filthy and must inferior both NOR
ally and physically to the tent lamas.
They are not unlike those sometimes
seen by travellers in the Lama tenn
pie at Picking, China The lamas liv-
ing in tents among the people are of
a better class and are much respected
and looked up to all over Mongolia.
Sumo, which consists Of the two tenn
pies and their outbuildings, forms one
Of the largest and most imported mon
asleries in outer Mongolia. There are
about two thousand lamas living here,
some quite young. as Sumo is an i'm
portant theological school. This lam
asery, or monastery, is town In
itself and very interesting. Lamas
may be seen here of all ages and de-
gress. On the tops and corners of the
temples are prayer wheels covered
with gold leaf; these contain long
prayers written on rolls of script. and
the wheels revolve in the wind.

10000 MussuLMANs MURDERED.
Stories of Atrocities by Bulgars Con-
firmed by Consul at Saloniki.

London.-The Greek army has oc-
cupied Nevrokop after an engagement
with the Bulgarians. The Bulgarians
were routed. Official dispatches re-
port that only 120 out of 5000 inhab-
itants of the city of Doxato escaped
the Bulgarian massacre by sword and
fire. Nearly all were women and child
rem who were brutally treated before
being hacked or burned to death.
Saloniki, Turkey.-Full confirma-
tion of the reported sacking and burn
ing of the Macedonian town of Seres
by the fleeing Bulgarian troops and Of
the crucifixion, hacking to death or
burning alive of many inhabitants has
been sent to the Austro-Hungarian
government by Consul August Kral of
Salonilli.
Another horrifying story of mass
acre reached here from Doiran, forty
miles to the northwest of Saloniki.
Mussulmans there have made a writ

three local Bulgarian priests, that the
Rulgarians slaughtered 10000 Mussul-
mans who had sought refuge in Dol

Wind Injuries Plants.

A rather surprising degree of in
fiuence of the wind upon plant growth
and crops has been shown by the ex-
periments of DR.. Oscar Bernbeck. a
German professor Of agriculture.
Severe gales tend to produce de-
formity, giving a twisted and knotty
shape to twigs; and ordinary winds
diminish the energy of growth of
sprouts through the increase of trans
piration and alteration of circulatory
conditions, and have a drying effect
that in some cases causes serious in
jury to both soil and plants.
Under a wind of thirty-three feet
per second the ground loses three or
four times as much water as on pro-
tected land. On ground sufficiently
moist strong sprouts are but little af-
fected, but on some soils the growth
with no wind is three times as great
as with a wind of thirty-three feet per
second.
Protection is to be sought by vari-
GUS kinds Of windshields. such as
walls and hedges. and especially by
planting forests on neighboring hills.

First to sIna Famous Hymn.

The first man to sing the immor-
tai hymn, Lead, Kindly Light" was
boatman, the place an orange boat
becalmed on the Mediterranean off
the island of Caprera, the time 80
years ago, June 16, 1888. John Henry
Newman, afterward the great cardinal,
was a passenger on the boat. Ill in
body and mind, he was idling in the
Mediterranean in the hope of recov-
ering his health. He was especially
depressed on that day when the Or
ange boat was becalmed, and sought
to soothe his spirits by composing a
hymn. The result was Lead Kindly
Light" The composition occupied but
few hours, and the boatman, who
spoke English and was possessed of
fine voice. was asked to sing it. AS
the day melted into darkness breeze
sprang up, and the becalmed voy-
ayers were guided by the kindly
lights" along the Caprera shore into
a safe harbor, The composer, with
health restored, soon returned to Eng
land, and became a leader in the Ok
ford movement, until in 1845 he went
over to the Catholic church, which
later rewarded his ability and devo-
ton by the bestowal of the red hat.

WISHING SASH NEWEST FAD
Sister Of Mrs. Joseph Letter Starts the
Vogue In the Army and
Navy Set.

The wishing sash which must never
be united until the wish you made
while tying it comes true, has come to
town under the chaperonage of Miss
Dorothy Williams, sister Of Mrs. Jo-
seps Letter, and one of the most popu-
lar bellies of the army and navy set.
The sash has come in vogue with
other Balkan styles and is most effec-
tive worn with white dresses. With a
single reef around the waist the sash
drops way below the knee and is tied
in true sailors knot there.
AS naval men alone seem to have
the knack of tying these knots, they
are very popular just now.

Burial of swedenbora.

The old Swedish Lutheran church.
whose churchyard the London (Eng)
county council covets for an open
space, is situated IN dingy little
square of st. George-in-the-East, not
far from the spot where the Danish
church once stood. 1t is an early
Georgian structure OF brick. built
about 1928, and has some frappant
architectural features Of that prosaic
period. The spire takes the form of
q quaint little lantern tower. from
which, when Mapping was a marshy
waste, the pastor could spy Scandina-
Wan ships coming up the river and

Emanuel Swedenborg, the famous

interesting old edifice was closed, hav-

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, July II. = President
Wilson, after conference with
Secretary Bryan over the latest as
poets of the Mexican situation, pre-
sented by the inquiries of foreign
powers as to the attitude of the Unit
ed States, ordered Ambassador Henry
Lane Wilson at Mexico City to pro-
ceed to Washington Immediately for a
conference. Ambassador Wilson will
hurry north on either the battleship
Michigan or Louisiana from Vera
Cruz. if any delay would be entailed
by waiting for a commercial steamer.
Officials here believe that the almost
total interruption of railroad traffic
between Mexico City and the United
tSates will force the ambassador to
make his trip by water He is not ex-
pected here before July 23d at the
earliest.
1t is believed in official and diplo-
matte circles that an important an
nouncement of the attitude of the
United States in the pending situation
will follow the ambassadors confer
ence with the President and Secretary
Bryan. Commenting upon the an
nouncement that Ambassador Henry
Lane Wilson had been summoned
from Mexico City to confer with Pres
ident Wilson regarding the situation
in Mexico, Secretary Bryan said this
step had been in contemplation for
some time.

WORK BY PRACTICAL PEOPLE
officIaIs Know Science Cannot En-
tlreiy Take the Place of Prao
tlcaI Experience.

The idea goes out very often thai
much of the work in the government
departments is not done by practical
people. The basis of this idea. II
there is any basis for 1t, seems to be
the old-time suspicion which some
people in the earlier days held against
scientists and all people engaged in
research work or statistical investiga-
tions. New evidence of this suspicion
came to the director of the children's
bureau several days ago In the fol-
western town:
Dear Madam: I would like some
information about raising children
from a woman of experience. / don't
care to have the views of an old maid
school teacher, or a person that has
not raised family, as l think their
knowledge is too limited.
MRS. -"
The attitude of the western woman
writing for information on child rails
ing was not considered unreasonable
by children's bureau officials. Few
people realize more than the bureau
chiefs themselves that all the science
in the world win not entirely take the
place of practical experience. Miss
Julia G. Lathrop, the director of the
children's bureau. must have had the
same idea herself, because the series

of young children has been made the

TEST WEAK MINDED
Views of a Belgian Scientist on
h, Subject.
Says Only Mentally Deficient Know
which OF Two Objects Is Hesv-
ier-Experlments Seem to DEM
onstrate Accuracy Of Theory.

II you are able to Judge accurately
which OF two weights is the heavier
you are mentally deficient, according
to DR.. Demoor, a Belgian physician
and scientist. says the New York
American. DR.. 0emoor doesn't 20
quite as far as to declare this is an
infallible rule, and you may possess
this ability without being, perforce,
weak-minded, but in a series of ex.
pertments made by this doctor those
who guessed correctly which of two
objects was heavier were known to
be weak-minded, while those who
made errors In their guesses were all
normal.
One experiment along this line OF
considerable interest was carried on
by DR.. Demoor among $50 children
whose ages varied from six to fifteen
years. For this the doctor prepared
two bottles by covering them with
black paper. These bottles were of
different size, which could be told at
a glance, but In each bottle the doc
tor put heavy mineral until both the
large and the small bottle had exactly
the same weight. The black covering
prevented the children from seeing
the equal amount of mineral in each
bottle.
These two bottles were handed to
each of the $50 children and they
were asked to Judge which was the
heavier. They balanced them in
their hands and many said the larger
one was heavier, many others said
the smaller bottle was heavier. Three
hundred and seventy of them failed to
Judge accurately, or to declare that
there was no difference In the weight
Of the bottles.
Ten Of these children guessed cor
rectly. They declared the bottles
were equal in weight. The remark
able part Of this is that among these
$50 children there were only ten men
tally deficient, and these ten mentally
deficient children stated that there
was no difference in the weight of
the bottles--they were the correct
guessers.
And because of this and many 9TH
er similar experiments Doctor De-
moor is satisfied that while ordinary
people, people with normal brains,
find 1t difficult to guess weights ac-
curately, it is quite the reverse with
the mentally deficient.
f, The bottle test was by no means
the only one made. Other objects
were used, such as boxes Of the same
size. but containing things that made
them unequal in weight. Also boxes
of unequal size, but that weighed
the same. These same children were
used in the experiments with the
same results; the normal children
made wrong guesses. while the men
tally deficient ones either guessed
correctly or very close to the cor
rect weights.
Then, to make doubly certain. the
experiments were tried on other peo-
pie, different groups of children. and
also OF adults, and it was found that
among the children the normal ones
could not make anywhere near as
accurate guesses or estimates as
those who were recognized to be abb
normal, mentally deficient, degener-
ates. etc.
