WILL RESCUE HAITI
Commemorate Policy Pursued by
Administration.
Treaty Proposed viii End the Menace
to the Monroe Doctrine Which
the Island Has 6een for
So Long a Time.

This country is purcuing a com
menGable policy toward the republic
of Haiti that has long peer n republic
in name only. 1t ia proposing to
make that little island state a prize
exhibit of the benehcence OF Ameri-
can rule and American management
of the finances OF a people that have
little genius for government and no
head for affairs. The forces main
tanned in the island will be made suf-
.icient to repel any attack and, in fact,
to discourage efforts of this kind.
The newly elected president Of the
republic. D'Artiguenavem, is believed
TO be in sympathy with the ideals OF
the United States. He could not re-
main president a day without the sup
port of this country, as he would be
promptly displaced and beheaded by
the Bobo element.
The proposed Haitian treaty. which
when drafted will provide ample lati-
tude for the United States to insure
the peace AMI the prosperity of the
republic, cannot be made effective
until ratified by the senate. The Hal
tan situation is fraught with annoy
ance and will be so for some time to
come. But this country is accustomed
to doing the drudgery work for the
backward republics and 1t will per
form for this one the kind Of service
il performed for Cuba and for San
Domingo. 1t will remake Haiti and
give to the people the facts of con
stitutional government and save the
island from being a further menace to
the Monroe doctrine through its dis
regarded liabilities to foreign credi
tors.

to lay many eggs. and it is a great

Japan's Fat WrestIers

| fTOIl LeSllt &.
 The most envied men in Japan are the wrestlers, who are fat and bulky. The first requisite of Japanese wrestler is that he be fat Their stomachs are their proudest possessions. The fatter the man the more money they will bet on him even though a bedslat can throw him clear out of the ring. As a fat wrestler walks down the street a crowd gathers around him, hoping that he will turn into some restaurant. If he does they gather in the doorway to watch him eat. They would rather hear a Japanese wrestler eat than go to a three-rfng A wrestler never disappoints them--he blows through astounding quantities of food, turning everything under except a few radsh skins and turnip tops. It's unbelievable by smacking their lips, sucking up their tea with the open exnaust and picking their teeth with the cutout on.
 The champion eaters or them all-the wrestlers-have long hair, but instead of letting it hang down on their shoulders as one would naturally expect, they do it up in knots until they look like gigan- tic kewpies. Whenever you see man in Japan Eoing around with a large-sized walnut on his head, you may know that he follows the ancient and honorable pro- sfession of wrestling. Their wrestling consists of the men standing upright in a ring, making rush at each other and trying to push each other out. Every time two wrestlers come together they give a prodigious grunt. When one of them finally succeeds in pushing the other out, the crowd bursts forth into mighty applause. while the victor modestly pats his stomach to show where the praise is due. ffN tatf f, tf'.sT fft fl

Right Names of Birds

trOfu 0t. N1cHOlaS. ''tt
 Many of our birds are often called, even in books, by names which are misleading. The average young bird student really knows more about birds than the folks who gave some of our birds their names. While these birds were ns yet without English names those first suggested by Tom. Dick and Harry would naturally stick" especially if the names were re- minders of the birds the early settlers had known across the sea. But the ''mis- fitting names are by no means all due to this cause, as we shall see.
 Meadow lark' is an example of one kind of pafsnaming. The real American representatives, of the European larks are our horned larlxs These are much small CT, moro quiet and less showy birds than the big starlings; hence they failed to at tract attention. But these starlings of the open meadows, with their habit of singing on the wing, sometimes as they circled to alight, suggested to the people, however remotely, their beloved larks; so they were called meadow larks.
 Robin" as applied to our ruddy-breast- ed thrush. is another example, but less serious one. Even to this day one occa- sionally hears our bird called ''redbreast," as was done by the early colonists on ac- count of the ruddy coloring which 1t had in common with the English warbler, which they had known so well as, rob

The Pedometer Hahit

From the Pittsburg Gazette-Times.
 A famous New York doctor was called upon some months ago by a patient who presented an appearance of illness. but with whom he could find nothing the matter Questioning him disclosed the fact that he had not taken regular phy- sical exercise for years. That's your trouble" remarked the wise physician. 'I'll write you a prescription" When he got outside the office the patient opened the bit of paper and read: "Get q pedo- meter and bring 1t back to me in three weeks with the indicator pointing to 100 miles.".
 When tlio patient returned at tho time mentioned, the doctor, without making an examination, told him he need not come back any more. EIfs looks demon strated the efficiency of tne.freatment. But he was counseled 70 Dfsevere in keeping the pedometer busy and there by save many doctors rec.
 There are imaginative patients most of whose troubles may be traced to the thermometer habit" They are constant ly taking their temperatures and their feelings are regulated by their discov- cries A splendid substitute is the ''pe- dometer habit" Instead of continually fussing to keep his temperature below 100, for instance, the possessor of one of these clever contrivances can try how long 1t takes to send the pedometer above that figure. Lots of fun is 10 be obtained from ascertaining distances between vari- ous points by walking them. Incidentally the liver gets a good sraldng up. the lungs receive fresh air for the lack of which they have been starving and the enthusiastic pedestrian feels a new joy of living.

But the pedometer game is avail- able to most, and 1t renders interesting what is,~ after all. a rather monotonous form of exercise.
