Lesson In English.

Many travellers have the unfortunate
failing of attributing ignorance and
backwardness to everyone who wears
the strange garb and observes the
strange customs of a foreign land
Often, az in the case Of the tourist in
China that the New York Tribune tells
Of, there is rude awakening.
When his steamer touched at Hong
kong, the tourist was delighted to see
a Chinese woman in the costume OF
her country come on board ship. y She
was the first Chinese woman that he
had seen in the native dress, and he
determined to take a picture. Ad.
vancing to within a few feet of the lit
tie woman. he leveled the camera al
her, and began to exclaim loudly in
amateur pidgin English:
me takee picture! Can catchee!
Can catchee"
The Chinese woman looked at him
in deep disgust, and replied in perfect
English:
you can catchee, but you may not. !"
Turning, she walked away. She had
been graduated from an American col.
lege the year previous.

Baths Of Sea Sand.

The very latest beauty bath IL that
composed of hot sea sand. Some IA
nous beauties have the sand brought
direct from Coney island or Long
island in barrels.
These baths are fairly expensive,
but then 1t 10 claimed that they do
infinite good to certain quality Of
skin-that white skin which SO often
accompanies red-gold hair and q peach
complexion.
The hot sea sand bath is prepared
in rather a peculiar way. A large
sheet is placed on the floor and COW
cred thickly with smoking hot sand.
Then the patient" is wrapped up in
the sheet and quietly massaged. Az
ter five minutes the patient" is rolled
over and over q dozen times and then
again massaged. By this time the
sand is cool and the operation nm
ished, unless very enthusiastic
beauty lover has the courage to begin
all over again.
After the sea sand. bath is over
a strong hot sea water bath is taken.
and this is followed by a delicious
douche of cold, family scented water.
Next comes the cup of coffee accom-
panied by a roll and then-half an
hours repose!

STYLE NOT HARD TO COPY
Military Effect In Old-Fashioned Union
Blue Effective for the Youthful
Figure.

Any style feature that hints of the
military is bound to be approved. IL
takes a slender figure to carry such
styles, and, needless to say, youthful
one as well.
A regular old-fashioned union blue
is the color used often and the mate.
rial is duvetyn.
The coat is quite high WASTED and
belted in with a 4-inch strap of sci.
material, with two cloth covered
buckles in front. The opening is down
the left side, started directly from the
shoulder. The blouse portion has long
sleeves, trifie full at the waist, with
cuffs Of skunk, and are set smoothly
into extension armholes. 1t fastens
closely about the throat with an up
standing collar of skunk.
The fulness below the bust in front
is drawn under little pointed bib set
above the belt. In back there Is a
slight blousing above the belt.
The skirt portion of the coat is quite
long, reaching a point midway of the
hips and knees, and, like the blouse,
opens down the left side. There are
q lew very SCduC SdIueFS aC tue WAIST
just to give the necessary ease over
the hips. The corners of the coat at
the opening are rounded off, otherwise
the lower line is perfectly straight all
around. The large. fiat buttons are
cloth covered.
The skirt is one Of the simplified
"pegtop" variety, with some fullness
on either hip and an even line of gath.
ers across the back at raised waist,

A special word must be given to the
smart little military toque that is
made to accompany these costumes.
The same blue duvetyn is used, draped
softly around the head, and there is
NO trimming other than the upstand.

OF course the entire costume may
be equally well developed to any color.

CALLED FATHER OF SCIENCE
Truly Wonderful Thinker and In
ventor Was Archimedes, Famous
Through the Centuries.

On December 10 of the year 2l2 B.
G. perished the great Archimedes,
murdered by a brutal, ignorant Roman
soldier, as he sat with bowed head in
his house at Syracuse thinking out
the mighty problems of science
Archimedes was born at Syracuse,
Sicily, B. c. 2S7, and was therefore at
the time of his death seventy-five
years old. He was the greatest man
of his day. and will ever rank as one
of the profoundest thinkers and rea-
soners of all time. In mathematics
and natural philosophy he had no peer
on earth. and it is not too much to
say that he is fairly entitled to be
called the father of science" He
would have discovered the differen-
tial calculus had algebra been known
in his day, and he came very near
doing SO even as it was. He antici-
pated the astronomical system subse-
quently worked out by Copernicus.
He laid the foundation of hydrostatics.
He invented the method for the deter
mination of specific gravity. He for
mulated the true theory of the lever
and uttered the ever famous words,
"Give me whereon to stand and will
move the earth" In theoretical me-
chanics no advance was made upon
his ideas during the eighteen centu-
ries between him and Leonardo da
Vinci
1t was Archimedes who invented the
endless screw, the most important me-
chanical contrivance known to science.
From the teeming brain Of the old Syr-
acusan came also the idea Of the
screw pump, the hydraulic engine and
the burning mirror. He was the Gre
ator of the catapult, the artillery of
the olden time, whose dreadful bolts
were the terror of ancient armies. He
invented another engine, the ponder
GUS claws of which, reaching over the
walls, lifted up ships and their crews
and then suddenly dropped them into
the sea, while with his great "sun
glasses he was able to set on fire
such Of the enemies ships as could
not be reached with the graphing ma
chine.
1t took the world 1000 years to pro-
duce the equal of the mighty intellect
that was brutally snuffed out by the
blow from the mace of that brutal Ro-
man soldier.

KNIFE FOR
TUBERCULOSIS
Methods to Produce the Col
lapse Of One
Lung
WHERE OTHER LUNG
IS A SOUND ONE
Introducing Nitrogen into
the Chest Cavity-Paper
by DR.. Archibald

Washington, May 1.-TWO kinds of
operation are proving effective in the
treatment of tuberculosis, according to
DIR. Edward Archibald of Montreal, who
read a paper on pulmonary surgery be-
fore the clinical section of the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis here yesterday.
The first method explained by DIR.
Archibald aims to produce a collapse of
the affected lung through compression,
effected by introducing into the chest
cavity outside of the lung certain
amount of nitrogen gas. By means of
this compression, the tuberculous lung,
being set at rest and prevented from fill
ing its natural function, is more readily
healed than it could be under normal
conditions.
The second method which he advocated
was the removal of the ribs, or portions
of them, so that atmospheric pressure
may act upon the lung through the soft
yielding structure of the thoracic mus
Giles, or that the ribs may be allowed to
fall in upon the lung beneath and so ex-
ercise compression. In either case the
movements of breathing are abolished,
anu tIic lung 10 pun oib Va tuiSeioh'
OF course, he said such operations
were of value usually only in cases
where one lung was affected, the other
remaining practically sound. He said
that the German and French physicians
had reported good results in using the
second method 'sGreat care must be
taken, however" he added ''in either
method to treat only those cases where
an X-ray examination and other tests
have shown before hand that good may
result, since such operations are fraught
with great danger"
In paper entitled Subsequent Re-
port of Patients Who Received Injec-
tions of Friedman Vaccine Year Ago"
DR.. George Mannheimer of New York de-
clared empha tically that the Friedman
vaccine had exhibited neither curative
nor preventive powers" and that it
could not therefore be recommended.

LIVESTOCK INCREASES
ON NATIONAL FORESTS
During 1918 More Than $4,000 Stockmen
Paid for Grazing Privileges on
Government Land.

Figures showing the number of live
stock for which the secretary OF agricul-
ture has authorized grazing permits for
the ranges on the leo national forests
during the year 1914 have just been
made public. Nearly III million animals
can be grazed including nearly two mil
lion head of cattle and horses, nearly
nine million head of sheep and goats,
and about 65 thousand hogs. This means
an increase for the current year of about
80 thousand cattle and horses, and 347
thousand more sheep and goats, al
though the gross area of the national
forests at the beginning of 1914 is al
most million acres less than at the be-
ginning of 1913.
During 1913, according to the reports
just complied more than 227 thousand
stockmen paid the government for graz
ing permits on the national forests.
For several years past the carrying
capacity of the national forest ranges
has been slowly rising which, forest of
ficers say, indicates an Improvement IN
general grazing conditions and a better
utilization of the forage resources They
claim that this is due mainly to the en-
forcement of better methods of distrib-
uting and handling stock
On the lands recently acquired by the
federal government within the Appala-
chan region OF the east, regulated graz
ing has been undertaken this year on six
distinct areas. The local stock owners
who had previously used the land under
lease from the former owners have read
lily accepted the change of ownership and
appear to be favorably impressed with
the methods employed by the forest
service for grazing purposes. While the
number Of all animals authorized to
Craze upon these southern Appalachian
forests is not large, it is the belief of
the forest officers in charge of them
that under careful supervision the lands
will support more stock than they have
in the past and that there will be con-
siderable improvement in the individ-
ual animals, with constant increase in
meat production.

BRITAIN'S DRINK BILL
GROWS 25,OOO,OOO
One Explanation Is the Unprecedented
Prosperity of the Kingdom-Some
Startling Revelations
Given

London. Nav 9.-The drink bill of the
United Kingdom for the past year shows
an increase of S25,000,000. The United
Kingdom alliance, whose mission il ia
decrease the consumption of alcoholic
liquors, makes this report, and suggests
that the increase is probably due to I'M
precedented prosperity, for the kingdom
had never experienced a greater wage
bill. The encouraging feature, accord
ing to the alliance, is decrease shown
in the per capita consumption, which at
tanned its maximum during similar trade
revivals in 1874 and 1890.
A discouraging feature is the increase
in the consumption of spirits, which
leads with an increase of ,267 900 gal
Ions. Beer is second with l,002,000 gal
Ions, and wine third with l3l 900 gallons.
The share of each individual in the
United Kingdom in the drink bill for
1913 was SIS, while the average for a
family of five persons was 800. Since
these figures do not allow for the BOYS
and girls under 10 years of age and the
total abstainers, it may be assumed that
among the drinkers the average per cap
tia expense for drinks is much higher
than stated.
During 1911. 2,S02 men and 2,074 wom-
en- were certified to have died in Eng
land and Wales alone as the result of
alcoholism. This number does not in
clude those whose deaths have been ac-
CELEBRATED by the use of alcohol. DIR. w.
G. Sullivan is quoted in the report as
making the estimate that 20 per cent
of the suicides in the United Kingdom
are due to the use of alcoholic stimu-
lants.
A startling feature of the infant NOR
tally figures furnished by the alliance
is the fact that in 1912, l,l76 ba bies
under one year of age were suffocated
while sleeping with their parents or 9TH
er elders, and the organization claims
that most of these cases can be laid at
the doris of alcoholic indulgence. The
organization also points out the effect
of alcohol on the physique OF the race,
on crime and on divorce

FIRST INCOME
TAX TEST
Twenty Reasons Given for
Holding 1t Uncon-
stitutional
III. P. STOCKHOLDERS BE-
FORE SUPREME COURT
Wealth Said to Be Basis of
Arbitrary Classifi-
cations

Washington May S.--The first case to
reach the supreme court involving di-
rectly the constitutionality OF the fed
eral income tax was docketed there yes
terday. 1t was an appeal from the re-
fusal of the federal district court in
southern New York to enjoin the Union
Pacific railroad at the instance of a
stakeholder, Frank r. Brushaber, from
paying the tax. Twenty reasons are as
signed for holding the law unconstitu-
tional. 1t will be year or two before
the court, in the ordinary course of bus
mess, will pass upon the case.
II is claimed that the tax is unconsti-
tutional when levied on income of the
Union Pacific between May /, 1913, and
Oct. 3, 1913 the date of the passage of
the law. because this income had been
converted into real and personal prop
erty by the time the law was passed.
1t further is alleged that the law
makes collecting agencies out OF cor
porations required to deduct the tax
from bond coupons in case the bondhold-
ers have not filed exemption certificates
with the corporations. Mr.. Brushaber
asserts that it will cost the Union Pa
cifc annually from $1,000 to $4,000 to
keep a record of the exemptions claimed.
1t also is asserted that wealth is made
the basis of several arbitrary classified
tons in the law.
Owners of homes are said to have been
given an unjust advantage by reason of
the owner being able to deduct the rent
al while the renter is not permitted ex-
emption on so much of his income as he
pays for rent. Farmers are said to en-
JOY an improper advantage in that they
may deduct from their gross income the
expenses of carrying on their business,
but are not required to pay taxes on
the animals born or grain raised during
the year and retained for family use
