NOTED SENATORS
DROP OUT MARCH A
Elihu Root, of New York,
Prominent Among the
Number.
From The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington, Feb. 21.-When the fall
Of the Vice-President's gavel on March
4, eleven days away, announces in the
Senate the close OF the stormy ODD
Congress, the careers there Of some OF
the most prominent figures of the up
per house will come TO an end.
Messrs. Root, of New York; Burton,
of Ohio Perkins, of California; Thorn
ton, of Louisiana; Bristow, of Kansas;
Stephenson. Of Wisconsin; Crawford,
of South Dakota; Camden. of Ken
lucky, and White, of Alabama. are
those whose names will not appear on
the roll when the next Senate is called.
or these, the most commanding figure
is Senator Root, who bears away with
him the most varied honors.
Senator Burton, of Ohio. has also
had a long career in public life, and
has achieved distinction in several
branches Of public activities. His *
perience in river and harbor improve
ment is probably wider than that OF
any other member of Congress. He is
an authority on financial and monetary
affairs, and is also recognized by his
colleagues as an expert on foreign re-
( lstions. He served in the House for
sixteen years and in the Senate for one
term He is now talked OF as a likely
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for President in 1916.
Senators Thornton. Stephenson and
Perkins will leave a void in the ranks
of the patriarchs of the Senate. Sen
ator Stephenson, now the oldest mem
Der, will be almost eighty-siX when
he vacates his seat. Senator Perkins,
who will have served in the Senate for
twenty years, is seventy-siX. Senator
, Thornton, one of the few remaining
Confederate veterans of the Civil War
is sixty-nine. Senator White, OF Ala
bama. who will give place TO Repre-
sentative Underwood, is also a Con-
federate veteran. Senators Bristow
Crawford and Camden are younger
men, and fate may hold out further
experiences for them in public life.
The changes in the House will be
many, but the flame ducks" are mainly
comparatively new members, who were
elected two years ago, only TO have
their legislative careers cut short in
November. Few of the veteran legis
lators go out on March 4, but there
will be a general exodus OF one-term
members. Chief interest here concerns
the come backs" rather than the de
parting statesmen. The House vii
turn its eyes expectantly toward the
"old boys" who will return, such as
Uncle joe Cannon, Ebenezer Hill
Nicholas Longworth, "Cy" Sulloway
William r. Mckinley, Charles F. Full
Ter, Ben" Focht and John A. Sterling.

high schools have been participating III
one of the largest experiments IN CO.
operative schooling ever initiated IN
the United States by city as part OF
it's scheme of industrial education
One week at work and the next IN
school Is the way the experiment IL
Icing worked out.
This number will be increased week
by week, and next month other high
schools and additional industrial con-
Germs will become active in the plan.
Now represented are machine shops,
die-casting shops, automobile concerns,
railroad companies, real estate oihces'
electric light and power companies. the
drafting room OF large vehicle COM
pany and several commercial concerns.
Many others have expressed Wiling
ness 10 co-operate when business con-
ditions improve.
The pupils thus engaged would In
many cases have Withdrawn from their
classes to 20 to work. They now get
combination Of the practical experience
and the school work, and are retained
under the control Of the public school
system. They are paid while at work.
Continuation classes also have been
been great, but il has been deemed ad-
visable to limit this feature Of the
experiment for the present. The dif-
ference between the cooperative and
continuation classes IS that pupils OF
the former have an apprentice course
planned in advance and their school
work Is co-ordinated with It, while in
the continuation classes instruction is
carried to workers regardless OF APP
premiership.
The work is under the direction OF
Dean Herman Schneider of the College
OF Engineering of the University OF
Cincinnati. The plan was successfully
used at the university, and Dean
Schneider was retained by the Board
of Education in an advisory capacity.
The cooperative courses mapped out
will eventually cover three years.
James A. Barr, director OF congresses
at the Panama-Pscifc international
Exposition, San Francisco, writes:
Education is the keynote Of the ex-
position. The educational congresses
will be a dominant feature. The edu-
cational period OF the exposition gives
promise Of presenting the greatest ed
ucational programme ever brought be-
fore tho teachers of the nation. The
National Education Association. the In
ternationsl Congress of Education,
nineteen departmental congresses and
fully fifteen affiliated educational or
CARNATIONS will meet in Oakland, just
across the bay from San Francisco.

A COIFFURE DINNER
"A Novel Function Mt Which by Their
Hair Ye Shall Know Them.

At a novelty in the shape OF
coiffure dinner each guest was re-
quested to come with his or her
head dressed to represent some per-
son or allegorical character.
The host wore long white beard
and white hair and furs which made
him Immediately recognizable as
Santa Claus. The hostess, in brill
liant colors with a scepter and head
dress and flowing robe, says What to
Eat, was Aurora. A white coiffure
sprinkled with silver dust to repre-
sent snow and icicles was Winter.
One exceptionally pretty effect
was that of Electra. She had an cleo
trio battery concealed about her
somewhere in easy reach of her hand
and her head and neck were deco
rated with tiny electric lights, which
she could illuminate or put out at
will
Among the other characters de-
tected by their head dress was
Spring, the funny man of the party,
who had bed spring fastened to his
head, from which violets were ap-
parently growing; Autumn, be-
decked with colored leaves; George
Washington, wearing a white wig
and peruke, tied with black bow;
Martha Washington, whose pow
dered hair was dressed in smooth
bands and bedecked with high
shell comb; Nocturne, whose hair
was as black as the plumes of night
and who wore coronet Of gold
stars with q crescent moon.

Telephone Stops Log Jams.

When Alexander Graham Bell
spoke his first message over the tele-
phone, thirty years ago, he had no
idea that the instrument would be
used to break LOG jams" the terri
BILE bane of the logman's career. No
more interesting incident of the in
vasion of modern invention into the
painless forest than how the tele-
phone thus saves hundred OF lives
each year has been told for many
day. The life of the logman-the
hardy work of telling trees and the
rerilous task of floating them down
streams to the sawmi!l-presents
scene into which 1t scarcely seems
the ingenious inventor would ever
break his way. But the telephone has
made log jams an event OF the past.
The passing of the log jam is an
occasion of rejoicing by the wood
man, but not to the dQvotee of pic
turesuue scenes of the woods. 1t Is
wonderful sight to see the logs piled
almost inextricably on top of each
| other In a rushing stream, and 1t Is
thrilling spectacle to watch the dar-
ing woodsman cut away the log that
is the key to the jam and then as the
logs begin to move see him skip MIN
bly, over the moving pieces Of tim
Der to safety on the shore. Now,
however, the man who makes his an
nual trip into the woods of Maine or
| Canada to watch the logman bring
| the fruits of winters work down a
mountain stream will be disappoint-
ed. The jams are never permitted to
form. At the first sign of clog one
of the men patrolling the banks OF
the river telephones upstream to
have the flow of logs stopped In the
quiet stretches, called trips" In
this way the jams are nipped in the
bad. AS soon as the incipient trouble
is over the men along the trips are
notified by telephone and the stream
of logs moves along again.

NO|sELESS CIR WHEEL

Demonstration of "SiIent Wheel

Solve Noise Problem on All Railway
Trains and to Presage New Era in
transportation.

The age of the noiselcsS street car
is at hand, when crowded city thor
oughfares will be practically as quiet
as IL country lane and railway trains
will speed across the continent with
only gentle hum as if carried on the
wings of the wind. \ silent wheel, "
invented by Edwin c. Madden of New
York formerly of Detroit. is the agent
that may bring about this revolution
in the transportation business.
Medical authorities everywhere and
the anti-noise societies throughout the
country have long demanded, in the
interest of public health, the suppress
sion of the nerveracking. health de-
stroying noises of railway traffic. In
that respect. the wheel is an actual
public necessity. 1t will eliminate the
noise nuisance in Il great degree, both
for those who ride and for those who
reside or do business on or adjacent
to street railway lines. incidentally
the wheel greatly reduces motor noise
The adoption of this wheel will large
ly restore property values which have
been impaired or lost by reason of the
establishment of street railway syS-
tens with their attendant noise nui-

An Exciting Game.

One of the most exciting Of riding
games Is paper huting, or following
a trail made by dropping pieces Of
paper. 1t can be made as dangerous
as steeplechasing or no more so than
an ordinary gallop over the fields.
The danger is in the fences to be
ridden over There is no limit to the
pace, but the seed Of the leading
horse and the necessity of keeping
the trail. The hare" as the man
a-horsehack who lays the trail is
called, is expected to foil his pur-
suers, the hounds" as often as he
can by the arts of the fox, or by his
own ingenuity, only restricted by
certain rules of the game.
