JOHN BULL BECOMING vAIN7
Really II Would Seem So, II Adyer-
tisements In Magazines Are Ad-
mitted as Evidence.

The vanity CT the Frenchman and
his inclination toward corsets and
other feminine aids to beauty have
long been the object of ridicule by
newspapers, but who would have
thought that our staid British cousins,
who have always pointed the finger OF
scorn at such methods of attaining the
grace OF an Adonis, would have fallen
under the SPELL
That the Johnnies Of the tight little
isle are not above painting the lily,
however, is evidenced by number OF
bona fide advertisements recently
clipped from a popular London maga-
zine. They relate to creams and cos
metics, the particular form of vanity
which the Britisher derides in his
women folk. One of them reads:
"Mustaches forced quickly, cheaply,
secretly. Trial box, Id"
Can we not picture the fair youth
VITA nine on a side-standing before a
mirror and patiently rubbing in the
cream or salve, or whatever 1t is, hope
springing eternal in his breast that on
the morrow he will be twirling long,
silky mustache which will transform
him into perfect lady killer?

TREASURES IN ENGLISH HOME
chatsworth House, Belonging TO the
Duke of Devonssire, Crowded
With Works Of Art.

Chatsworth house, whose literary
treasures have been diminished by its
present owner, owes its existence to
the first duke, a man of extremely
catholic tastes, says the London Chron-
icle. He not only employed carver,
whose work is as good, if not better,
than Grinlings, he was himself su-
preme judge of art and architecture
But while he could write odes and
compose sonatas. he also loved racing
and cockfghting, suppers and masked
balls. He lost bets running into thou
sands with equanirhity, and was con-
sidered by the ladies' to be the hand
somest fellow of his time. One of
these worshipers, when he died sang
of him as one
Whose awful sweetness challenged our
esteem,
Our sex's wonder and our sex's theme
Whose soft commanding looks our
breasts assailed,
He came, and saw. and at first sight
prevailed.
No duke of Devonshire added so
tavishly to the treasures Of Chats
worth as William CaveEdish, the sixth
of the title. In 1912 he bought the IL
brary of the bishop of Ely for $4,000.
Ten years later he added John Kem-
ble's dramatic collections, for which
he gave $4,000. All he did was done
magni1f emily. The great conserya-
tory. covering an acre, which after
ward served as model for the Cfys-
tai palace, was his work. On his
special coronation mission to the
czar of Russia he is said to have
spent e50.000 more than the govern
ment allowed him, a prodigality which
so touched the heart of Nicholas that
the monarch afterward paid the duke
q visit at his Chiswick villa.

Bellows. a Wisconsin star.

Chicago Tribune. Games have been
won through punting when the vic
torious eleven had no running attack,
and although coaches Of the leading
elevens have not resorted to this style
of play as much as in the old days,
the kicking game is one of the best
styles to play, especially If two teams
are evenly matched.
The kicking game is as strong az 1t
ever was, but years of experience
have taught the coaches to combine
the running attack and punting. For
the most part the punter has not re-
ceiveu the credit he deserves, and
also for the most part the running at.

Sweden and Norway.

One hundred years ago, following
the brief war between the two coun-
tries comprising the Scandinavian
peninsula the Norwegian parliament
voted to accept the supremacy of
Sweden. and elected the king Of Swe-
den for king of Norway. The Sca..di-
navian union, as finally agreed on,
made the person of the king and his
management of the foreign affairs Of
the country the only common bond.
Each country retained its own consti-
tuition, parliament and cabinet. This
agreement continued in force for
nearly hundred years, until 1905,
when the desire of the Norwegian
people for complete independence led
to a peaceful dissolution of the union
and the election of Prince Charles OF
Denmark to the Norwegian throne un
der the title of King Haakon VII.

FIERCE FIGHT WITH NATURE
fioulties That Seemed Almost
nsurmountable.

Right down to the time Of John
Smeaton, who invented the stone
tower, lighthouses we're built OF wood.
1t was Smeaton's success In placing
a stone edifice ON the dreaded Eddy
stone rocks, in the eighteenth century,
which really gave an impetus to light
house building, and since then the
sea-builder has achieved many notable
conquests in all parts of the globe.
The first erected was that built by
Mr.. r. Stevenson ON the Bell rock, on
the famous Inchcape reef, off the
coast of Scotland. The construction
of this lighthouse was one long, ter
rible battle with the angry sea. The
securing of the foundations, naturally
the most hazardous part of the whole
undertaking, proved exceedingly diff
ficult
1t is recorded that the men worked
with desperation. Only two could re-
main on the rock at a time, but they
stuck there with the tenacity Of
leeches, the cold waters of the North
sea bearing down every few minutes
and sweeping entirely over them.
When the first stone was at last
swung into position the men, ragged.
chilled and worn with the awful strug-
gle, clung to the iron rods which they
had erected upon the roof and cheered
madly. like soldiers just over the ram
parts of an enemy's forts. Again and
again they were absolutely driven
from the rock. When the tower be-
gan to appear well above the sea, ter
rible storms arose and swamped the
works. On several occasions blocks
weighing as much as two tons were
ruthlessly torn out of their places and
swept into he sea. despite dove
tailed joints and Portland cement. In
the end the sea-builder proved vic
torious, as he always does; but 1t
cost four years labor and the expendi-
ture of 100000 before the lighthouse
stood comprehensive World Maya

RAILROADS APPEAL
TO PRESIDENT
The Common Carriers Ask for Re-
lief = President Wilson Directs
Attention of Public to
ThAir Naade

AIIenllOH OF PUBIC 70
Their Needs.
The committee of railroad execu-
tives, headed by Mr.. Frank Trumbull,
representing thirty-five of the leading
railroad systems of the nation, recent
ly presented to President Wilson
memorandum briefly reviewing the diff
ficulties now confronting the railroads
of the country and asking for the CO.
operation OF the governmental adthori-
ties and the public in supporting rail-
road credits and recognizing an emer-
gency which requires that the rail
roads be given additional revenues.
The memorandum recites that the
European war has resulted in general
depression of business on the Ameri-
can continent and in the dislocation
OF credits at home and abroad. With
revenues decreasing and interest rates
increasing the transportation systems
of the country face most serious
crisis and the memorandum is a
strong presentation of the candle
burning at both ends and the perils
that must ultimately attend such a
confiagration when the flames meet
is apparent to all. In their general
discussion the railroad representa-
tives say in part: by reason of leg
islation and regulation by the federal
government and the forty-eight states
acting independently Of each other, as
| we'll as through the action of strong
public opinion, railroad expenses in
| recent years have vastly increased.
| No criticism is here made of the gen.
eral theory of governmental regula'
ton, but on the other hand, no in
| genuity can relieve the carriers of ex
penses created thereby
President Wilson, in transmitting
the memorandum Of the railroad
presidents to the public, character
ICES it as "a lucid statement of plair
truth" The president recognizing
the emergency as extraordinary, con
tinuing, said in part:
You ask me to call the attention
of the country to the imperative neeC
that railway credits be sustained ant
the railroads helped in every possible
way, whether by private cooperative
effort or by the action, whereve
feasible of governmental agencies, an
/ am glad to do so because | thinl
the need very real
The conference was certainly
fortunate one for the nation and tn
president is to be congratulated TO
opening the gate to a new world 0
effort in which everyone may cooper
ate.
There are many important prol
lens in our complex civilization tina
win yield to cooperation which wi
not lend themselves to arbitrary ru

railroads is one of them. The ma

+, invited all to participate in the soil

Usual Causes Of IndIaestIon.

DR.. Henry P. De Forest, medical ex-
aminer to the New York civil service
commission says that irregular and
too short hours for meals are COM
mon cause for Indigestion; and he
admits that the physicians themselves
are about the worst violators Of the
law against irregular meal hours.
He also says that too great con-
sumption of prepared foods does away
with the use Of the teeth and, there
fore. the food passes to the stomach
without proper mastication and that
even the stomach itself does not have
enough to do when insufficient solid
food passes through it. Improper
food. modes of dress, sedentary in
door life, too little water and too
much iced water taken with meals,
excess of stimulants and too much
hot bread, are among other causes for
chronic catarrh of the stomach and
