CORPULENCE AND GENIUS.
(London 'Chronnle.)


 The connection between feeding and literary genius is commented on by Robert Sherard in his Modern Paris, :" Zola, he says, wrote best when he was very stout, and that when his bulk dwindled, so did his talent. Theophlle Gautierfi himself enormous, maintain ed that a man of genius should be fat, and for proof, pointed to "that more barrel than man. Balzac; to Alexan- der Dumas, "always fat and jolly to "the hippopotamus in brooches, Rossini, and to the plump and we'll fed appearance of Victor Hugo and Saints -Beuve.
 Byron would never have agreed with Theophile Gautier's dictum that men of genius should be. fat For the i1- crease of his too, too solid flesh was the one thing of which he was afraid, and various freak diets were adopted to keen it under. "Don Juan" was written almost entirely on gin and water, and in 1913 he lived on six biscuits day and tea. Previously at Athens he had tried diet of rice in small quantities washed down by vinegar and water, and later on he tried one thin slice of bread for breakfast and a vegetable dinner, Keeping down hunger by chewing to- bacco. And apparently such diets stimulated the brain while mortifying the flesh.

PRESS OPINIONS
THE FAILURE OF MEDIATION.
Beaumont Enterprise).

The failure of the attempt of the A B c mediators to bring aDout an agreement whereby Mexico could be pacified and stable government formed has been suspected for some time and it now appears to be all but certain. So far as can be gathered from the press reports, no two parties to the mediation have agreed on program So far as the MeXicans themselves are concerned, each fac tion seems to have insisted that the mediators must mediate to suit them, which would involve putting their particular faction in power, and events of the past few days show that the multiplicity of interest to be satis- fled has no end. If Villa has split away from Carranza, he would be as dissatisfied with Carranzista presi- dent as Huerta would be- Only Huerta appears to have shown a willingness to make concessions, and his willing was probably based on the fact he is not in position to refuse concessions.
 Perhaps it would have been better for all concerned if the American forces had moved on the city of Mexi- co as soon as they landed in Vera Cruz, taking possession of the Mexican capital and reducing the principal cities to American rule. The United States would then have been in posi- tion to see that the interests of the Mexican people were safeguarded re- gardless of the interests of the fac tiOnists.
 Mediation has failed for the sole reason that the heads of the various factions want to be president. Their desire to be president is based on per sonal ambition. No Mexican party is named after a policy or desired re- form. They are all followers of men and not of measures. The Carranza- Villa split indicates that the appoint ment of any one of the leaders would not only dissatisfy all the other lead CTS, but it would cause dissenslon ln the ranks of the appointee's own par l ty.
 There comes time in the affairs of nations, as in the affairs of men, ! when the best instrument of concllla- l tion is a club. This point appears to have been reached in the Mexican matter. It looks as if the only hope for permanent peace for poor Mexico is for the United States to take full charge, without the mediation or ad-
 vice of any other nation, and clean house. It is not too late. A few more
 troops from Galveston added to Gen
 exal Funston's 1000 would easily take
 charge of the city of Mexico, and pac- Iification by force would have to fol- low
 This may not be the best way. It
 probably is not theoretically the best
 way. But it plainly is the only practi- | cal way.

HOUSE THREATENS TO QUIT QUICKLY Underwood Appeals to Pres ldent to Curtail Legisla-

the most valuable asset in advertising IS age. It is something which cannot be rushed or punched. 1t has no c, ernight completion. The new ad- vertiser can't date back.
 Advertising cannot take a vacation without loss. The cumulated values If previous months or years im- mediately begin to shrink or evap- crate. It will invariably cost more to make good the shrinkage than to omit the vacation.
 Good advertising is a continuous performance before the same audi efce. No better definition was ever invented. It admits of no exceptions CT variations.
 Buyers are not so firmly attached to buying traditions during the sum rner months as at other seasons The, go about more, enjoy more freedom, are interested more in variety. The new advertiser finds it easier to break i.; the old advertiser finds it neces- sary to be more persistent and watch tul. The province of advertising is to attract new customers, as well as to hold old ones and the vacation season. more than any other, is the season of changes; the season, more than any ether, when the advertiser can least afford to permit his goods and his service to be forgotten. The trifling purchase of July. or August is often the forerunner of much larger pur- chase ia October or November. ..

THE TRADE RXCURSittN..

The seventy-six far-sighted busi- .iess men who made the trip through south and Southeast Arkansas on the Pine ,Bluff Chamber of Commerce's Trade excursion train are enthusiastic over the reception accorded them at the places visited and highly opti- Histic over the indications for the thsire to be the best investment the city ever made," as several of them express it. H 43
 There is no doubt that Pine Bluff as we'll as the country traversed will profit from the tour. Pine Bluff men lave learned more about the country of which this city is the hub, and are, therefore better qualified to discuss movements for it's development. The ..eople of the Pine Bluff country have learned little more about Pine Bluffians-have learned that their trade and encouragement is appreci- ated, and that Pine Bluff is not only in position and ready to serve them carefully and economically, but is slso ever willing to lend aid in any campaign that may further the prog Tess of any section or community. And the fact that Pine Bluff is capable of successfully handling big projects for itself serves as the best evidence ol it's ability to render service to other communities in solving their com mercial and development problems.
 The attitude of Pine Bluff was put tersely and accurately on the buttons supplied by Pine Bluff boosters: You reed Pine Bluff Pine Bluff needs you" This appears on miniature map of Arkansas, printed on red background, and by which the excel lent location of Pine Bluff to best serve South and Southeast Arkansas vas emphasized. The buttons were affective, everyone noting and memor- izing the automatic invitation there on.
 It is trait of human nature to t.efer to do business with ones ac- ouaintances and friends. This ap- plies especially in thee South. Busi- ness is transacted almost entirely on faith-faith that the goods are as represented; that prices are as low as can be obtained; that the vendor will carry out any promises he makes. It is because of this situa- ton that successful excursion sucl as has just been completed under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce is such a profitable investment. The returns may not be direct, but re- turns will continue long after the ex- Lense of the excursion has been for gotten.
 Because Pine Bluff has so many substantial business houses-estab' Ill ments with regulations to main tain, this city ought to be among those that annually send out it's busi ness men on pilgrimages of friend ship and trade extension.
 Insofar as the strictly local end il concerned, the Chamber of Com uerce has once again demonstrates its ability to serve Pine. Bluff ant ite business men. It has once nor s.roved that great things can be ac cCnplished by cooperation under it' he'd; that it is entitled to the finan cial and moral support of every mai iE the c.ty, and that with the unliet cooperation, to which it is eatitle' nothing within reason is too great fo Fine Bluff to aspire to, and that n' project undertaken can fail,

 to extort $1o.oo0 from the Cunard
