Her Honor.
special Correspondence Of The Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON, March IA, 1914.
One of the most interesting events Of
the coming season will be the debut Of
Lord Curzon of Kedleston's eldest daugh-
ter Lady Irene Curzon. The king and
queen are greatly interested in this young
lady, and have promised to attend the
dinner and ball which Lord Curzon will
give in her honor at Carlton House Ter
race.
Lady Irene. if her father does not marry
again. will one day be Baroness Ravens
dale of Ravensdalc. The barony Is the first
of Lord Curzon's three titles the second Is
the one she will assume in default of
male issue to her lordship. The Scars
dale viscounty in that event goes to
Baron Scarsdale, Lord Curzon's father.
and his heirs Lady Irene will be able
to support her prospective position with
dignity. for she is heiress to a fortune
left in trust for her by the late Lady
Curzon's mother. Mrs. Letter. to say
nothing of the considerable inheritance
which may come to her from her father.
Lord Curzon lost his beautiful wife
eight years ago. when he was left with
three little daughters-1rene. Cynthia
ters have been numerous in the CurZon
family, for Baron Scarsdale has six
daughters as well as four sons. The
naming Of the family Is noteworthy. All
the girls have pretty names. while the
sons, including Lord Curzon. are all
called Nathaniel, a name which has been
borne by almost every head Of the house
since the creation of the Curzon baron
etcy, early in the seventeenth century.

Building in CONSUMPTION
"u ;nn Chicago Journs

tuberculosis is in considera bic measure
disease of good workmanship in build
inc houses. and ignorance in planning
them. Our pioneer grandsires were not
;sreatly troubled by the white plague,
though they were not as immune as some
might think. They never took part in
fresh-air crusades. There was no need
Of doing so. They were outdoors from
su1 to sun, enjoying all the breezes that
an open and sparsely settled country
cou'd furnish, and at night. though they
might shut doors and pull down win
do"s. air found its way inside.
For our ancestors were perforce jacks
of all trades. and as the proverb has il,
complete masters of none. They built
good. seryiceablc houses-but not air-tight
ones. That was their aim but they never
achieved il Always there were cracks
between the logs. or good ventilatins
spaces around the casing of doors and
windows. or perchancc a gap that one
could throw cat through" beneath the
nverhanE of the roof. Then came denser
settlement specialized industry. more
finished workmanShip-an the death rate
from tuberculosis began to climb The
now builders could keep fresh air out
and did it. They built in consumpt.on
Il has taken the country twenty years to
learn that the air-tight house is a death
trap, aud that good building must be
guided by good planning.

The Expanding Corn Belt.
From the Chicago Journal.

From the Chicago Journal.
The corn clubs of the last few years
have proved that the corn belt of the
Mississippi valley extends much farther
south than had been supposed. This
means that the fertile corn, pork and
stock area tributary to Chicago markets
is greater than any one dreamed a
decade ago; nor is this demonstration
the only service rendered by this
rivalry of boys to see which can raise
the best acre of corn for the least
money.
These lads of the corn clubs have
nroyed that the soil of the United States
is seldom more than scratched. One
Kentucky boy produced a yield five
times as great as that which his father
secured from exactly similar land all
around The cost of cultivation per
acre was higher for the boys crop
than for the fathers. but the son had
a lower cost per bushel than his sire
Instances like these help to bring
home the truth that the soil throughout
most of the United States is richer
than ,hat on which Europe raises far
larger crops and supports vastly
denser population. Except for the val
lev Of the Pc and the delta of the
Rhine there is no part of Europe which
has such depth of soil and such fer
tiIity as prevails throughout most of the
Mississippi valley.

SAYS ENGLISH INSURANCE
ACT is NOT A FAILURE
John Burns, President of London
Board of Trade, Speaks in
House of Commons.
reign Correspondence of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star
LONDON, March 10. 1914.
John Burns, president of the board Of
trade, denies that the national insur-
ance act is a failure. Speaking in the
house of commons Mr.. Burns said: so
much good has part of the insurance
act done in eighteen months working
that they We're confronted with de-
mand not to limit its scope. but great
ly to extend it. Generally, he shared
that view, and by an amendment Of
the act. which he hoped to get
through this year, they intended to go a
long way in the direction of extending
the act to a number of other trades.
Under the act 100000 unemployment
books for insurance had been issued,
and 2,226 600 workmen held these books.
while S12.OOO.OOO was the total income
derived from the employers and work
mems contributions.
Eight hundred thousand workmen
had claimed and received benefit.
Seventy per cent of the claims had been
made direct by the unemployed work
men themselves. and only 30 per cent
had been made on behalf Of the men by
the associations. Twenty-six per cent
of the Unemployment fell within the
waiting week. 81 per cent was covered
by benefit received. IA per cent was in
cluded by various disqualiflcations and
3 per cent only represented exhausted
benefit
The financial position was very
favorable. indeed. and so far as one
could gather there was no prospect Of
depressed year of trade ahead. 1t was
too soon yet to calculate the effect of
the act on pauperism and human misery,
but his survey of the position led him
to think that it had been very good in
deed
Steps were being taken to accelerate
decisions on appeal: to prevent cards
being used by employers as sort Of
black list, or as an undesirable sort of
certificate. and in other ways they were
trying to deal with grievances as they
arose.

CLEOPATRA SET THE STYLE.
Many Others Have Dissolved Pearls
and Drank Them.
" the National Magazin'

From the NATIONAL 1ASALibc.
There appears to be foundation for
the tale of Cleopatras wager with Mark
Antony that at single meal she would
swallow the value of province. The tale
is too we'll known to need recapitulation
here but the historian Pliny distinctly
states that the practice of dissolvlns
pearls. which impaired a delicious flavor
to the wine. was known and practiced by
the wealthy long before the time of Cleo
patra
There is however. perfectly well au-
thenticated tale to match that of Cleo
patra related of Sir Thomas Gresham.
the millionaire merchant Of Queen Eliza
beth's day, who. in order to shame the
Spanish amba assador, who was extolllnS
the riches of his master before Eliza
beth, remarked that the queen had sub
jccts who at one meal would eXpend
sum equal to the daily revenue of the
King of Spain and all his Srandees put
together" Soon after this the Spanish
ambassador was invited to dine with the
English knight when the latter drew
from his pocket q pearl for which he
had shortly before refused $4,000, ground
it TO powder and drank it to the health
of his mistress the queen.
