SHORT COURSE
In Agriculture and Domestie seono'
my at 4. & NJ. College.


my at 4. & NJ. College.
The doctor, the lawyer the dentist
and. intact every professional man,
goes through a long period of protes
sional training before entering upon
his life work. The average young
farmer takes up his life vocation OF
farming with no training other than
/ the general courses Of the common
school-which DO not equip him for
the business OF farming.
Not every young man in Oklaho-
ma can afford a four-year course in
the agricultural college Neither can
all young women afford to spend four
years studying domestic science and
art. Il was TO meet the needs OF
hundreds Of these young men and wo-
men OF Oklahoma farms that the
( School Of Agriculture and Domestic
I Economy was organized at Oklaho-
/ homa Agricultural and Mechanical
. College. This course covers a period
OF twenty weeks and gives intensely
practical instruction in agriculture
and home economics.
/ In this brief period young men are
given instruction in such subjects as
/ farm machinery, carpentry dairying
/ farm crops, vegetable gardening, rac-
ton engines. livestock. stock judging
farm law. English composition, insect
enemies. music, poultry, public speak.
ing. gas engines, blacksmithing, grain
| judging. fruit growing veterinary med
icine farm management, soils, rural
/. problems and farm arithmetic. Young
women are given instruction in cook
ing, hygiene and home nursing, draw
ing. sewing and dressmaking, music
| English composition, public speaking.
poultry, vegetable gardening dairy
ing, farm arithmetic, home decora-
ton, fancy work and fruit growing.
These subjects are taught by the
same teachers that give instruction
in the regular college courses.
No tuition is charged in this short
course. State and national govern
ments recognize the importance OF
trining young men in the business of
farming and younug women in home
keeping. Expenses are confined to the
actual costs of living, which are as
low in saltwater as in the average
Oklahoma town. The school comes
at a period of the year, October l3
to March Il, when the work on Ok
lahoma farms is not pressing. In
. fact, every effort has been made tc
put this short course easily within
, the reach of every ambitious young
man and woman Of the state.

Big Dinners-Quick Trials.

From the London Chronicle.
The subject of judges sitting late re-
calls the curious custom which was long
the rule at the Old Bailey. In all crimi-
nal cases Of great gravity three judges
sat together. and they sat right through
till ), and then went to a gorgeous din
ner provided by the lord mayor and
aldermen. Here they consumed prodi-
gious quantities OF wine, thoroughly re-
lieved their minds from the horrors of the
court. and returned in solemn procession,
their gravity undisturbed by anything
that had previously taken place and look
ing the picture of contented virtue" An
other dinner was provided by the sheriffs
Tor the recorder, common sergeant and
others who had replaced the judges while
they dined. But the chaplain had the ex-
ceptional privilege of taking part in both
dinners.
An old observer of the ways of the CEN
tral criminal court remarked that the
chief feature connected with these din
ners was the extraordinary celebrity with
which trials were conducted when their
which prisoner had picked a pocket of
a handkerchief. Two witnesses were
called, the man robbed and consta BILE,
who stated the facts in a few words.
Then the judge addressed the prisoner
Nothing to say. I SUPPOSE" The sum
ming up was as follows: Gentlemen, 1
suppose you have no doubt? / have
none" Jury: Guilty. my lord" Judge
to prisoner: I'VE have met before-we
shall not meet again for some time
seven years transportation" Time of
trial, two minutes fifty-three seconds. 1t
was said that these after-dinner trials did
not average more than four minutes each.

BIG HORSE CHEsTNUTS
Will Adorn Front Of Henry c.
Tricks New Residence.
From the New York Times.

From the New 1Ork Hines.
Henry c. Prick, who is building his
new three million dollar house on the
site of the old Lenox library on upper
5th avenue, has just had thirteen horse
chestnut trees planted in front Of the
residence on the block front between 10th
and list streets It Is the largest opera
ton in tree planting that has been done
on 9Th avenue in many years. and pos
sesses another element OF unusual inter-
est in that all Of the trees are more than
thirty years old. The trees are set few
feet back from the curb line, and the
spaces between them will be sodded with
grass in the spring.
1t took several months to find the
proper number of trees of the correct
size Some Of them came from an old
country estate near Germantown, Pa.
and others were obtained from Long
Island and Connecticut. They include
both the single and double Towering
horse chestnuts, and are from twelve
to fifteen inches in diameter. few
feet above the ground.
In order to insure good soil for their
permanent growth Mr.. Frick had the
entire curb line excavated to a depth
Of six feet. To do this 1T was necessary
to blast out solid rock throughout the
entire block front Special soil from
old gardens in Long Island. was
brought and several tons have been
used. The trees present sturdy, healthy
appearance, but the success of the
transplanting operation will not be
known until spring.

New Anesthetic.
From the Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
The new anesthetic for surgery, of
which demonstrations have been given
of late, Is the more remarkable because
of Its extreme simplicity and its indie
pendence of drugs. 1t is indeed very
much the sort of thing. that the japanese
have long practiced IN their secret art
of jiu-jitsu, and its corrollary by which
victims are restored. By long experiment
they discovered the important exposed
nerve centers and ways of affecting them
pressure at a certain spot behind the
ears, for example, will cause unconscious
uess and even death. while a certain way
of treating one of the upper vertebrae is
efficacious in restoring consciousness.
More crudely western pugilistic science
recognizes the solar piexus and the right
spot on the jaw for inducing anesthesia
while the timekeeper counts ten. But the
new invention, though it has close anal
ogies, goes beyond anything before at
tempted By pressure on the right spots
in the tongue and throat the operator
causes a temporary anesthesia in any
part of the body he wishes. To what
extent this discovery can be used for
surgery and how it compares in value
with the other well known means of ac-
complishing the same result we shall
not of such transcendent Importance as
it would be but for chloroform and other
chemical anesthetics, the discovery is
of great interest and brings us to a
point which might or might not have
been reached sooner but for their help.
Medical science has been learning much
of the value of manipulation.

California English,

Letter to the Editor OF the Evening Post
I take cafeteria (about which your

the model of the Italian osteria, an inn
or hosiery, and connected with Italian
caffetiera, or Spanish CAFETERIA, a coffee

standing. capable Of seating about 200
guests. where everybody has to help, him

knife, fork. spoons and napkin at one

request. An orchestra performs from a
mezzanine during the busy hours.
At Oakland the adjective ''encinal'' is
applied to a line Of cars that runs from
the jetty along the coast through Ala
MEDIA. The word is derived from Spanish
.ecina, the live oak CQuercus agrifolia),
ly along the foothills and on the coast
in this locality. It is, in fact, the spe-
cies from which the town Of Oakland
was named. Hence "encinal line means
the line that skirts the coast. Another

Don't Set Poetry to Music.
Hayes, in the Atlantic

Alfred Hayes. in the Atlantic.
From the standpoint of verbal and met
rical beauty the advantage to poetry of
being welded to music is less than moth
ing. A beautiful poem. just in so far
as it is a beautiful poem, satisfying in
emotional and intellectual expression, ex-
quisite in diction. is outraged by being
set to music. Violence is done to it in
several ways: The rhymes lose their eff
feet through the lack of correspondence
between the musical phrases and the YER
bal phrases; the accented notes in the
music often do not coincide with the
stress in the verse; the time of the music
is often at cross-purposes with the meter
Of the poetry; single word of poem
is now brutally dismembered. now
stretched out on a musical rack of many
bars, now flung from pillar to post, es-
pecially in choral writing; and finally,
worst outrage of all, the direct intellec-
tual and emotional appeal of the poem
Is drowned in the food of pleasure which
the music directly and Overwhelmingly
composers have made serious efforts to
minimize these injuries, but they have
only partially succeeded, for the simple
reason that the appeal Of poetry is dis
tinct. not in degree, but in kind, from
the appeal of music. The more salts
flying the pleasure which a poem gives
me, the less I desire it to be set to
music.

Action Called Unfair.

THE National Association for the Ad-
yancement Of Colored People has heard
with apprehension the announcement that
the nomination by President Wilson of
Robert H. Terrell as municipal judge of
the District Of Columbia is to be held up
indefinitely in the Senate. II not defeated
by the action of one senator. who is de-
termined that no colored man shall hold
office.
I'VE submit that this procedure is most
unfair under any circumstances, but par
ticularly in this case: when the fitness OF
the candidate Is unquestioned and when
the protesting senator holds his seat by
reason of the 6isfranehisement of the
majority of the adult male citizens OF his
state. 1t is bad enough to have race
prejudice in high places of our govern
ment, but it is worse when such hatred
gains voice and power through the en-
forced silence and helplessness of the
very persons who are made to suffer.
I'VE protest against any senator being
permitted to hold up this nomination
on such grounds, and We plead for an
immediate consideration of this nominal
ton on its merits"

JOHN L. SCHMITZ KILLED
BY GAS FUMES IN ROOM
Former Hotel Proprietor Victim of
Defective Double Fixture.
Coroner Asks Regulation.

John L. Schmitz, sixty-three years old,
who, many years ago was manager of
Cabin John Bridge Hotel and who later
was. owner of Rock Spring Hotel, last
night was accidentally asphyxiated in his
room at 9OS 18th street northwest.
Schmitz retired about O'Clock, the
coroner was told, and two hours later
his daughter, Mrs. H. w. kidwell, went
to the room and found her father dying.
a physician from Emergency Hospital
was unable to revive him.
The gas that so quickly ended his life
escaped from a connection of Il double
fixture that is used for supplying gas for
lighting and heating purposes, and Cor
oner hewitt was told that relative of
the dead man had made the mistake that
resulted in his death.
So many similar deaths have occurred
in past years that Coroner hewitt today
addressed a communication to the Com
missioners suggesting the enactment of a
regulation governing the use of such gas
fixtures.
Mr.. Schmitz is survived by three daugh-
tiers, Mrs. H. W.. Kidwell, katheryn +.
and Marie Schmitz. and one son, Albert
G. Schmitz. Funeral services will be held
in the Presbyterian Church at Bethesda,
Md, Monday afternoon.
