"SUB" FOR KING VICTOR

The duke Of Genoa, who SUBS" as
king at the Quirinal while his nephew,
Victor Emmanuel, is at the front,
is fast proving himself formidable
rival Of the latter for the affections of
the Italian people.
King Victor has ever been known
as the most democratic sovereign in
Europe. His Sub" has gone him one
better for democracy and won for him
self the sobriquet of the civilian king.
The nearest the duke of Genoa
comes to accepting any of the kinglX
perQuisites that go with his job is at
four o'clock each day, when he goes
for his drive In the country. Four
cavalrymen surround his carriage and
a corps Of bicycle guards follow. The
police won't let him drive unless he
accepts this escort.
In the evening he makes up for it
by walking about the streets Of Rome
in civilian clothes, accompanied only
by his chief aid de camp. 1t was while

TEMPTING FUTURE SOLDIERS.

In Britain 100000 men have ap.
piled for service. One million have
been rejected. If peace standards were
being applied 100000 would have
been rejected. Commenting upon this,
DR.. G. w. Saleeby. the eugenist, says:
I'VE tempted the future soldiers with
drink at sixteen. THIS million of re-
5ected men were once younger" He

SUBTLE JUSTICE M'REYNOLDS

Associate Justice McReynolds of
the United States Supreme court pref
aces nearly everything he has to say
with a story.
Occasionally McRoynolds tells a
story with point SO subtle that only
those with keenly pitched sense Of
humor can "get" him. One night at a
dinner he sprang something that oc-
casioned not the slightest ripple OF
laughter. He waited a reasonable
length of time and then observed:
well, at least don't cry about it."
Nobody got that either. They
didn't understand what it was that
they weren't to cry about. So Mercy
nolds added: It'll come in, may be by
freight
An Englishman was seated next to
McReynolds, and his curiosity was
aroused.
What do you mean when you say
come by freight" he inquired.
Slowly, like a freight train" ex-

NEW CHIEF OF YARDS AND DOCKS

Civil Engineer Frederic r. Harris
of the navy, recently appointed chief
of the bureau Of yards and docks, navy
department, to succeed Civil Engineer
Homer r. Stanford, has made an en-
viable record in connection with
number of important projects on
which he was engaged since appoint
ment to the navy corps Of civil engi-
neers.
Among his achievements was the
solving Of the problem that long had
attached to the dry dock at the New
York navy yard. the contract for
which was awarded in 1905. Five years
later, after several contractors had
failed on the job, Civil Engineer Har-
ris took charge. He employed an en-
tirely new method of construction, he
was instrumental in having the di-
mansions of the dock increased, and
he successfully completed the work
in 1912.
