Boston. June 6. w. Heinrich
Schmidt. the sensational young gol-
fer, who won the championship OF
Massachusetts last year, did not sur
prise those who knew him when he
came near beating Hilton, theN En-
glish champion, at ST. Andrews
tournament in Scotland, but he sur
prised many others. Most of all he
surprised the Schotch and English,
who had never heard Of him.
This young man he is on y
twenty-three - worked his way
through college -and then earned
enough to give much time to golf.
When he made up his mind to so to
the tournament at SIS. Andrews he
didn't know where the money was
coming from. But he saved till he
had enough for the trip.
This determination inthe face OF
financial obstacles is a part OF the
character which makes him a great
player Facing a gallery of 2,00o
in Scotland, against the champion the
|crowd wished TO win, he showed the
same steady pIay and the nerve lie
|had exhibited at fone
Those who know him believe that
he will eventually be the champion OF
the world While they think there
aer many who play as good there are
none near his age who show his abil-
|ity.

Washington, June G-Japan's
latest note in regard to the Califor-
nit land legislation which admit
ttedly furnishes a problem balcu
lated to tax the Ia ents of Ameri-
can mediators was read at the cahi-
net meeting today and later was
the subject of conference between
President Wilson and John b. Moore
counselor for the state department.
Consideration of the note by the
cabinet was deferred until the re-
turn of Secretary Bryan from Pitts
burg. There was some discussion
however after the long document
had been read President wilson
as the result of his talk yesterday
with Baron Chinda was able to III
illuminate the formal arguments pre-
sented with sidelights disclosing in
ternal political conditions in Japan
which are powerfully influencing
the Japanese foreign office in the
ecnduC< OF the negotiations.
Press dispatches from Tokyo out
lining the contest of the Japanese
administration were received with
great interest here. Officials who
examined the subject have reached
a conclusion that the japanese for
eign office has shown remarkable
knowledge of American constitu-
tional law and that the legal lights
of the state department will be
taxed to their utmost in rebuttal of
arguments presented
The assertion that the California
legislation violated the spirit of the
existing treaty by discriminating
against the Japanese, however, is
looked upon as a S light retreat from
the original broad statement that
the treaty has been directly vio-
lated.
Touching the points that the
right of the Japanese to own or
lease houses carries with 1t the
right of ownership of the land,
which it is contended here. is true
only to the house occupied as a resi-
dence or for commercial purpose
and that such claim could scarce
ly be extended to farm lands which
are already covered by the Califor-
MIA law.
Officials say that the suggestion
that the alien land law measure is
In violation of the fourteenth
u ~ ~
furnish a new line of attack on
that much discussed amendment al
though it Will hardly be seriously
entertained by any court.
They pointed out that the Califor-
MIA amendment appointing new
process of law or depriving aliens
of property and signifies that the
words equal protection of the
laws" used in the amendment re-
fers to persons and not to property.
Washington, June 6,-Exercising
his prerogative as the personal rep
resentative of the, Mikado. Viscount
Chinda, the Japanese ambassador,

In an hours conference this after
noon at the White House.
This act of the Japanese ambassa-
dor was as extraordinary as it was
dramatic and startling. in view of
the full and free conference he had
yesterday with Mr.. Bryan, when he
delivered the reioinder of Japan.
The unexpected appearance of
the ambassador today, and that, too,
at the White House, caused the inn
mediate report and belief that the
ambassador was not satisfied with
either the comprehensiveness nor
directness OF Mr.. Bryan's solutions

Washington, June 1.-THE Japan
csc government latest note to the
State Department raises the inter-
csting question involving the
fourteenth amendment OF the
United States constitution, accord
ing to Toxic press dispatches.
Japan, it is said, contends the Ca j.
fornia alien land law violates the
fourteenth amendment. Another
contention Is that houses form in
separable parts Of real estate, thus
violating the 1911 treaty which
authorizes citizens or contractig
parties TO own or lease houses,

Ground floor of model dairy barn.

the conditions Of early summer when
the cows are at their best. OF course
that's not easy to do. But you can
give the cows the sunlight, fresh air
and freedom of movement that they
get outside. And those are the most
important requirements of a modern
dairy barn.
II like to have just as many win
dows In dairy barn as l can get"
said Mr.. Reed. TITS the one thing
that will keep the barn sanitary. Sun
shine drives out the dampness and
leaves no place for bacteria to thrive.
You should have at least four square
feet Of glass for every COW.
Choose site for the barn which
is we'll drained. The yards cannot be
kept in good condition if the drainage
is poor OF course, you must consider
the convenience of your barn, too. A
rectangular barn should stand prefer
ably north and south, making it pos
sible to get sunlight on both sides at
some time during the day
"A barn large enough for the herd
mentioned should be about 30X66 feet
The length will vary according to the
size of the stalls. For Holsteins stalls
should be three and one-half feet wide,
but for Jerseys three feet is wide
enough. The size also depends on
whether you desire small milk room
and bull pen in the barn. With
these added and allowing also for a
box stall and a pen for calves, the
length should be about sixty-six feet
for twenty Jerseys.
"The barn being thirty feet wide
would permit of che COWS facing one
another with an eight-foot feedway be-
tween the two rows of stalls. The
hangers should be two feet wide;
platforms for stalls four and one-half
feet; cutters eighteen inches and a
passageway back of the cows three
feet wide. Some prefer to have the
cows face out, giving for the reason
that they will have more light and

NO POSSIBILITY OF DOUBT
Why Western Bishop Was Convinced
of the Ancient Lineage of His
Eastern Entertainers.

A western bishop once attended a
general convention in the east and
was entertained by a New England
family of long and honorable, if not
lovable, lineage. They made no Sc.
cret of a time-won superiority over
any one from the new and crude west,
and cited their Pilgrim ancestors con.
stantly The bishop was minded to
bear this in Christian humility and
forbearance, and did. But on his re-
turn home, he recounted his expert
ences to the wife; and she, good soul,
spoke her mind as it is the privilege
of her kind to do, even where mere
man must be silent.
Il don't believe that their family
is such an old one" she remarked.
Are you sure that their ancestors
were Pilgrims?"
Il am certain, my dear" answered
the bishop. This may seem to be
exaggeration, but at times you could
positively detect the fragrance of the
Mayfiower. New York Evening Pest.

Want chaneeable Dressesl

At the recent International Congress
of Applied Chemistry in London one
of the most celebrated lecturers, Gia-
como Ciamician, predicted that women
Of the future will not be contented
with dress which remains constantly
of one color, but will demand colors
that change in harmony with their sur
roundings.
Thus the color of the apparel may
be changed without changing the
dress. Passing from darkness to light
the color would brighten, thus con-
forming automatically to the environ
ment-the last word in fashion for the
future.
This prediction will come true as
soon as chemists learn to understand
better what are called "phototropic
colors," or colors that change with
the intensity of the light upon them.
In mems wear this might mean that
the light-colored suit of the bright
summer day would be transformed
into dark suit at night.

Il like the two-story barn because
it allows big, roomy NOW for hay
But the floor OF the NOW must be
tight. Some of the best dairy barns
are one-story, for the reason that
chaff and dust sift through the floor
OF the loft into the milking room. But
two-story barn can be made just as
sanitary provided tight floor is made
in the loft and the rafters sealed with
match ceiling underneath. A tight
ceiling and floor can usually be made
cheaper than an extra barn for storing
hay.
Ventilation in a dairy barn is i'm
portant. The King system is the most
perfect in use today. That's the sys-
TEN we have in our new barn. The
principle of it is to have outlets near
the floor of the barn for foul air. The
inlets for fresh air should be near the
ceiling. The outlets and inlets are so
arranged that there is no draught over
the cows.
"The hangers we have in our barn
are what are called continuous man
gers-one long manager for each row
of COWS. These should be about two
inches higher chan the stall floor and
need to be only few inches deep. By
having this kind of Manager it is
cleaned easily and in a few minutes.
To keep the COWS from robbing one
another of their food we have parti-
lions for every one. These partitions
are of sheet iron and joined together
so they can be raised when the man
ger is to be cleaned.
"The silo should be built at one
end of the feedway, outside the barn,
and feed room located at the other
end. The eight-foot feedway gives
room for a silage and feed cart.
"The box stall and bull pen may
each be 11xS feet; the feed room Tx
II feet; the milk room 11x10 feet and
the calf pen 11x1S feet. A three-angle
roof gives much more room for stor-
age of hay. At one end of the loft a
hay fork should be built in. The illus
trations show the general construction
of the barn"

have sufficient light when facing one
another l prefer to have the COWS
face the feed alley, because it will re.
quire less work to feed. Hay, silage
and grain are all handled separately,
whereas the manure is handled in one
container.
1.-THE barn can be kept much more
sanitary by making the floor of
cement. Where plenty of bedding is
used there will be no bad results from
hard or cold floors. The cement should
be finished rough, SO that the COWS
will not slip on it, Cutters may be
four to six inches at the high end and
ten to twelve at the low end Swing
ing stanchions are much better than
the rigid kind. The COW can get a
great deal more comfort in swinging
