The Hon. Champ Clark, speak
er Of the house of representatives,
with twenty-five years service IN
congress, who came within a few
votes of being made the demo-
cratic nominee for president IN
the last national democratic con-
vention in Baltimore, in a recent
public speech before the National
Press club in Washington, City,
gives his long experience in con-
gress, saying among other things:
"A man has to learn to be con-
gresham just as as he must learn
to be a blacksmith, carpenter,
farmer, an engineer, a lawyer
or doctor. That useful con-
gressmen are made largely by
experience and practice; that it is
an unwise performance for any
district to change their congress
men at short intervals, A new
congressman must begin at the
foot of the class and spell up, His
constituents should keep him
there as long as be discharges
his duties faithfully and well. His
wide acquaintance in the house
helps him amazingly in doing
things" Every true and patriots

Grace Marshall Improving

Grace Marshall the young woman
who was imprisoned from early child
hood by her parents near st. Michaels,
Md, continues to improve physically at
the Phipps Clinic Of the Johns Hopkins
Hospital. Her feeble mentality, how
ever, has obstinately refused to yield
to treatment, and is discouraging to her
physicians. 1t is even said that one
doctor, who has closely studied the case
has abandoned hope of her mind ever
yielding, declaring that she will never
be normal. For exercise she is premit-
ted to walk about the semi-private
ward in which she is placed, but her
walk account of muscular contraction
in one leg, might be better character
lied as a hobble according to DIR. Lewis
A. Sexton, assistant superintendent of
the hospital. The girl has added but
three words, yes, mo-, and "what"
to her abbreviated vocabulary since her
arrival in Baltimore.

WATER WHEELS OF SYRIA
Move on Simple Principle But Do the
Work Required of Them Most
EffectualIy.

Hama, in northern Syria, referred
to in the Old Testament as Klamath
the Great, is justly famous for it's
huge water wheels. The city lies some
10 miles northeast of Damascus on
the River Orcntes, and upon its banks
are four large water wheels used for
drawing water for irTigating purposes
and also for supplying the town.
These wheels are driven by the flow
of the river on what is known as the
undershot principle; that is to say,
the wheel is moved by water passing
beneath it.
The largest has diameter of IS
feet. Upon it's outer rim is a series
of buckets which raise the water and
deposit it in the aqueduct at the top.
Like its companions the wheel is built
of mahogany, with an axle of iron.
The creaking of the wheels is inces-
SAINT day and night, year in and year
out, for they never stop.
1t is interesting to note that wheels
built on this same principle are in
actual use in this country, In one OF
the fertile valleys of California.-Pop-
ular Science Monthly.

Residents Of Washington Said to Have
a Prejudice Against Those Who
Are ain Trade"

In the American Magazine a mem
Der of the house of representatives
was unusually frank in giving his
opinion of Washington society. Among
other things he said:
"One evening my little boy came in
and mentioned that the boy next door
had refused to play with him, stating
as his reason:
You folks are just renters, and
don't own your own home like we do.
1T was a trivial matter, of course,
but it reminded me that we were liv'
ing in a hotbed of snobbery. The
youngster next door had not thought
up that himself. He had got it from
some of his elders. l wondered il, in
the event that we came to our own
home, my boy would have absorbed
SO much of the snobbish atmosphere
boy and tell him he was nothing but
a renter. l can give you another line
on the snobbery that prevails in the
capital Of our democratic nation when
i tell you that two of the leading clubs
in and about Washington bar from
membership all persons who are in
trade A man may be highly edu
Gated, a well-bred and accomplished
gentleman, but il he owns an estab-
lishment where anything is bought
and sold across a counter he cannot
oe a member of certain one of the
best clubs, because, as l once heard
an Elglishman express it, the fellow
works for a living.
THAT reminds nee that Washington
more than any other city abounds in
signs which say, 'Tradesmen to Rear
Entrance Everybody seems to have
horror of coming into personal con
tact with persons whose living is pro
vided by the work they do"

ANCIENT TEMPLE GAVE NAME
Ammonia Was First Manufactured in
the Vicinity of the Oasis OF
Jupiter Ammon.

The Aibyan oasis Oh Siwah is idents-
cal with the ancient oasis of Jupiter
Ammon, where, near the famous tenn
pie or oracle, the vehement odor' or
Pliny was first manufactured by a
process too inelegant for description
here.
Ammon. at first pet deity of the
Pharaoh family circle, ultimately
eclipsed all the other deitfes of Egypt,
Libya and Ethiopia, becoming king
of the gods" and his oracle in the
present oasis of Siwah achieved such
celebrity that Alexander the Great
considered it necessary to journey
thither after the battle Of Issus in or
der to be acknowledged the "son OF
God Ammon." The oracle fell into
disrepute under the Romans, and Pau
sanias reported 1t dumb A. ID. $50. The
ruins of the temple are to be seen to-
day two miles east of the town OF
Siwah. The Senussi long dominated
the oasis.
