Value Of Knowledge.

Mrs. Featherton had embroidered a
gown for heSself Butterflies were the
design, and she had made them look
SO natural that-so Mr.. Featherton
said-one would think they were &C.
tually alive. But Mrs. Featherton's
little son was more critical. He re-
garded the decorative insects long
and earnestly, opened his lips to
speak, and then, with remarkable self
control for one so young, closed them
again without speaking.
s'Well, frankie" said his mother at
last, tell me what you think of my

''They are very nice, mother" re-
piled he seriously, "but the next time
you embroider butterflies, would you
mind putting the antennae on the 9th

in much the same manner in which the

The fact that it is announced here
that Secretary of State Bryan is start
ing East is accepted as meaning that
nothing more is to be accomplished in
California. He has sent report by teie-
graph to the president with text OF
all of the bills and summaries OF all
the statements made TO him by Cali
fornia legislators.
The president maintained yesterday
his attitude Of reticence on the situation.
He has positively refused to permit even
unofficial views of the administration S
attitude to be made public. While the
result is unsatisfactory, it is believed
that the administration thinks Secre-
tary of State Bryan's trip to California
has set il right in the eyes of the world
and the rest of the states. Mr.. Bryan
failed to accomplish his purpose. The
Webb bill although cleserly worded is
as objectionable to Japan as was any Of
