Washington, d. C.-The aver.
age weight of men south of the
Mason and Dixon line is from four
to six pounds lighter than the av
-erage weight of men north OF it,
say United States Marine Corps
recruiting officers operating there,
in a report received at Marine
Corps headquarters today. These
recruiting officers have asked that
the minimum weight for recruits
in the south be reduced from IA
to 100 pounds, stripped.
'The large raw-boned South.
erner" is seldom seen, the recruit
ing officers aver, and, while the
men of the south are as sound and
fit as the men of any other section
they are usually small boned and
light in weight. The officers point
out in their recommendation that
some of the best "hikers. and
fighters in the Marine Corps are
the lean, wiry men from the south
land.

WHIT P. MARTIN.

The Washington Star has this
to say about the man whom the
Progressives sent to Washington:
"Tbere seems to be no doubt
that life IN Washington holds out
ia Whitmell Pugh Martin, repre-
sentative from the third Louisiana
district, most alluring prospects
for the winter.
"He is going to be somewhat in
the positlon of the cute little boy
whose sisters beau brings him
candy, recognizing in him a dan
gerous enemy and a warm and
valuable ally. Not only that, but
he is going to be in the position OF
A little brother TO sister who has
two large and powerful beaus, and
each of them is going to make al
yances to him, and life will be one
long sweet song for Representa-
tive Martin.
alt begins to look as if Brer
Martin. who is the result OF the
political upbeaval in Louisiana,
which followed the passage OF the
Underwood tariff act, would be
mighty close to the balance of
mower in the House when the Six
ty fifth Congress lines up for the
selection of speaker.
"Mr. Martin was elected as a
Protectionist Progressive, OH a
platform which demanded protec-
ton for sugar, and to all political
students since he has maintained
a constant defense against the at
,acks of Democrats throughout the
entire state of Louisiana.
Now the Democrats claim the
next House by three, and the Re-
publicans claim that 21o votes
will be cast for Republican
speaker when the next Congress
opens in December, 1917. The
claims are SO close that it begins
TO look like Representative Whit
p. Martin would hold large sec
ton of the balance of power. Ii
looks very much as If Martin
might name the speaker ant
whether or not he holds quite 81
much power, both parties must b'
very, very good to him or he vii
get sore and stay mad for keeps.

v
The men will miss the vintage.
This is the translation Of .
quaint old French prophecy made
more than three bnndred years
ago on New Years day.
In the French district of Aries
this prophecy has been repeated |
every year since that time A.
this writing there are fourteen
rulers at war instead Of twelve,
bat France and Portugal being re
publics 1t leaves twelve kings. |
Just as the ancient prophecy runs.
Men are flying, Of course, and
the women of Europe, az far as
they were able, did the harvesi
AS for the vintage, the men from
the vineyards did indeed miss it,
since they have been either shoot
ing or lodging grape shot instead
of preparing grape juice.
Madame de Thebes said on Jan
uary LIST, 1914, seven mouths be-
fore the European war, "Ihe United
states will overcome Mexico
without war New York's fnan-
clal district will be threatened
with catastrophe in the latter part
of the year. American farmers
should not be in a hurry to sell
their corn and wheat In advance
of its harvest, for there will be
great demand for 1t later and they
can sell it in Europe at high
prices. France Will be drawn into
war and Europe Will be involved
IN many complications France
will emerge victorious and an era
of love, peace, great hopes and
great labors will result But fl ast
the waves must be tinted with
blood and water and fire VIII mix
in the combat"
In Suabia there Is a song which
the people have sung for genera
lions. 1t is called "The Women
of st. Inghbert" There were ten
verses to this, each one separate
prophecy, and every person in
Suabia will tell yOp that nine of
the prophecies have already come
true. The tenth prophecy, trans
lated, is:
when Germany shall be her great
est, then tho fall must come. / see
waves of blood. The horses of the
Cossacks drink in the Rhine and
Elbe"
Still another prophet who made
remarkable forecasts mentioned
the year 1913 She was Susan.
nah Welt, the wife of an Antwerp
banker. she claimed to have visi
ons, and in the year 1913 she said,
II see the desoation of Belgium
in 1913 see the suicide OF an
emperor III war. / see the death
of an emperor held secret. | see
king proclaimlDg the republic
| see republic proclaiming a
king.n
Another New Years prophecy
dates from 1854 1t was made by
the celebrated Mayence and con.
sists of eighteen verses. Thirteen
of its eighteen verses have come
true. The last FIVE remain to be
fulfilled. These are:
