T. R. BOOM WORRIES
REPUBLICAN LEADERS
Senator Weeks Will Fight to Hold
Massachusetts, Delegates Whom
Colonel Threatens to Win Over.

Republican leaders OF the "OId Guard"
in the Senate looked thoughtful yester-
day, even gloomy, but refused TO discuss
the Roosevelt movement started in Mas
sachusetts. few Of the more aggres-
sive anti-Roosevelt men were for a night
to the finish. because they believe the
Roosevelt movement Is no longer local
but national political problem that will
be facing the Republicans in formids Bile
proportions when they assemble in their
national convention at Chicago.
Democratic Senators do not look upon
the possibility of Roosevelts nominatio
with the same happy foretaste of politi-
cal victory as might be expected. A
Senate administration leader said yes
terday:
Roosevelt will be the Republican
evitable for some time. The Democrats
should not look upon the possibility OF
his nomination with indifference or Joy.
II will mean a fight for the President.
Roosevelt. in my judgment, is the only
man mentioned is likely to be a nominee
who could give the President a run
The farseeing Republicans in the party
see 1t and are prepared for IL In time
they will all be In line for the Colonel"
The sachusetts friends in Washing
ton of Senator Weeks had many whis-
pered conferences yesterday. 1t was
stated on the highest authority that
whatever may be the fate OF Senator
Weeks Presidential boom, he will not
withdraw.
One western Senator Of conservative
leanings Sid:
Many OF us believe the big business
interests are getting behind Roosevelt
on the theory that he will be the safest
man to deal with the situation that will
follow the close of the war and will pre-
vent reputation and guard American In
terests. 1t may result In the regulars
getting behind a man of the Cummins
or Borah type and nominating him for
most Of the Republicans would prefer
Progressive OF that type rather than
surrender TO Roosevelt, and IL the party
is to be swerved from another third
party movement headed by Roosevelt. it
will have to be the nomination OF a
Progressive who has been regular in the
Republican party. The conservative
type Of candidate has been eliminated
from the situation"

Natives Of the Island Do Not Carry
Change In Their Pockets.
Propped up against the house of the
native chief of zap, which is one Of
the Caroline islands lying southeast OF
the Philippines, may be seen row OF
money stones" the current coin OF
the island. In shape these stones are
like millstones, but they do no grind
ing. They serve simply as parade of
the wealth of the village. Their value
lies solely in the difficulty with which
they are obtained.
The yellowish granite Of which they
are made Is found only in the island
of Palao, 200 miles away, and when
the monsoon fayors forty or fifty ma
tives voyage there In their canoes.
After pacifying the king of Palao with
presents the work of hewing the wala-
ka, or money stones, begins, lasting for
months until the monsoon changes,
when the toilers start homeward with
their "coin."
The smallest of these stones is about
foot in diameter and three inches
thick, with a round hole through its
center. 1t will buy food for family
for month. The large stones, about
three feet in diameter and eight inches
thick, have relatively much greater
value, since it is more difficult to trans
port them in cranky canoes over such
long stretch of sea. Indemnities can
be paid with such stone or the aid
of neutrals purchased in time Of war.

THE NUMBER NINE.
Easy to Multiply by 1t If You viii Re.
member This Rule.

Easy to Multiply by 1t If You Will Re-
member This Rule.
Examine any one Of the statements
of equality in the multiplication table
of nine, up to and including nine times
ten. Select, for example. 9x7==63; or
| 0X2-18
Observe that in each case the first
digit in the product is one less than
the number by which nine is multi
piled, and the second digit in the prod
uct is such that when added to the
first digit, the sum of the two is nine.
You may make practical use of this
popularity Of nine and its multiples by
applying it in the following way:
If nine is to be multiplied by eight,
for example, think at once of seven
(which Is one less than eight, the null
tiplier); then think of two, which must
be added to seven to make nine, and
you have seventy two, the product of
nine and eight.
Or, IL nine Is to be multiplied by five
think OF four, when Is one less tnan
FIVE: then think, Of FIVE, which must
be added to four to make nine, and
you have forty-fve, the product Of nine
and five
BY using this method the mines,
usually among the hardest Of the ta-
bles to fix in the memory, may, in a
short time, be fairly classed with the
fives and tens and elevens, which are
said to remember themselves. -

LEGION Of HONOR.
The French Order, Its Ranks and its
Limits of Membership.


The Legion of Honor is a French Or
der for the recognition Of military and
civil merit. instituted by Napoleon
while consul May 10. 1902, and inaugu-
rated July II, 1904. The decoration
originally consisted Of a star contain
Ing the portrait Of Napoleon surround
ed by wreath Of oak and laurel, with
the gend. Napoleon Empereur des
Franc ais on the reverse was the
French eagle with thunderbolt in his
talons and the legend. "Honneur ct
Patrie"
The order has been remodeled sew
eral times. the last occasion being sub
sequent to the downfall Of the second
empire. There are now five ranks or
classes-ordinary chevaiers or knights,
officers, commanders, grand officers,
grand crosses. The profuse granting of
the decoration of the order latterly
brought the institution into discredit.
and the number of cheyaliers is now
restricted to 25,000. the officers to
1000, the commanders to 1000, the
grand officers to 200 and the grand
crosses to seventy.

USE OF OLIVE OIL.
Reasons Why It Should Have More
Prominence In Cooking.

Reasons Why It Should Have More
Prominence In Cooking.
Americans are not, generally speak
ing, liberal enough in the use of olive
oil. 1t should occupy more prominent
place in cooking
Any olive oil left in the pan after
frying can be filtered through cheese
cloth and kept in a cool place for
future use. Olive oil can be used re-
peatedly. 1t should be hot before the
article to be fried is placed in the pan.
Olive oil is capable of having the
temperature raised to over 600 degrees
before 1t burns. Butter burns at a
little over 20O suet at about 300 and
lard at 235. 1t will be seen that butter
is a poor frying medium, as food must
be kept at too low temperature or
1t scorches, while with oil the high
degree quickly coats the outside of the
article with a crust that prevents the
oil from penetrating.
Rub the preserving kettle with olive
oil to prevent fruit from burning.
Use olive oil In recipes when possl-
BILE where butter is called for. 1t IS
especially delicious in soft gingerbread,
salad dressing and baked beans. New
