STATESMEN REAL AND NEAR,
CLOSEUP Views OF FOLK WORTH knowing
By FRED c. KELLY.
Copyright 1916. by the Mcclure Newspaper svp6,cst

Frank Douglas Scott, commonly known
as Doug Scott, first term congressman
from a northern Michigan district. Is
person of proclivities and sociabiiity. In
his native Alpena he knows every man,
woman, newborn babe and canary bird
by name. II a humble foreign laborer
were to move into that congressional dis
trict. Scott would not sleep wink until
he had hunted him up, learned his name
and laid the basis OF a permanent speak
ing acquaintance.
When he came to Washington to en-
gage in big-league statecraft. Scott
found just one large. green fly In his
ointment. There were more than three
hundred thousand persons In town whom
he was unable to call by name! This
preyed on his mind not a little. To walk
along the street unable to nod to people
he passed and call them casually by
name was his idea of being completely
miserable. As rapidly possible he
sought to overcome his humiliating lack
of name knowledge. He started In with
the elevator boys and janitor In his
apartment house and learned their Chris
tisn names, front names and nicknames.
Then he took in the House of Congress
until he could call by name each and
every one of the 436 members.
That was some little aCcomplia iahment,
but 1t did not satisfy-by no means. Doug
Scott, as we have already intimated. Is a
sociable being. He likes to know lots
and lots of his fellow humans. There
was one class of persons in particular
whom Scott desired to know we'll enough
to call by name. I refer to the corner
cops. He himself does not know exactly
why. but there is something about
corner policeman which TO Scott is fasci-
mating. 1t got on his nerves, being
obliged TO pass traffic cops day after day
and merely stare at them impersonally.
as he would at lamp post. So he paused
at one corner after another and arranged
with friendly newsboys to learn the full
rame of the traffic officer Consequently
Scott is now able to wave his hand and
extend a hearty greeting to each corner
cop he passes between his home and the
Capitol. Each day he adds few more
policemen to his list, and in addition is
hard at work on the roster of the fire
department.
The Washington herald., 1916-06-25

"I think" declares Scott, that the
man who has no ambition to know the
name of the policemen he passes, or
street car conductors he rides with, or
firemen who would protect his home, is
nothing short OF a crab"
Nor is Scott's system all for naught
Shortly after he learned the names of
all the traffic cops between his home
and Capitol Hin. he was riding along with
a friend in an automobile. The friend
failed to obey a traffic signal and the
brave man in blue uniform was about to
take down his car number.
Tt was my fault. Bill. old boy"
Scott yelled at the cop. II was telling
him a story and he was listening to me
instead of paying attention to your
signal. I'm sure 1T won't happen
again"
"Oh. all right. Doug" replied the po-
liceman pleasantly. L didn't notice
you in the car"
So 1t goes. And is II any wonder
Scott got himself elected to Congress?
All this recalls a little story related
by this same man Scott A friend of
his named Hicks was working one win
ter in a Michigan lumber camp. One
of the Swede lumber jacks in the camp
used to have Hicks act as his amanu-
ensIs when he wrote home to his vile.
Hicks would sit down on a soap box
with 5-cent tablet in his hand and
the Swede would dictate.
They were not fervent love letters
that the Swede dictated. But Hicks
made them so. when the Swede wrote
about the number of logs he had hewn
in a given period. Hicks ran in a few
sentences about how one appreciates
cne's wife when one is separated from
her and how one yearns for the CO.
resses of the woman of his choice. He
would run in postscripts about the
marvellous beauty of her plump figure
and asked her II she was still wearing
sive was punctuated with words Of af-
fection and endearment.
The wife, presumably was some con-
cerned over the hitherto unsupported
epistolary prowess of her lord and master
She wrote back asking him II he was
sure he wasn't working too hard, for she
felt sure he must have an attack Of
some sort OF fever.
Hicks read aloud the letters from the
wife to the husband, for the latter was
no more adept at reading script than he
was at writing same. Hicks couldn't al
ways read them himself, for the wife
had system of chirography that was her
own. But he invariably supplied enough
to pad out the missive to a proper length
and make it entertaining and fervent
One day, right at the busy time of the
season, the Swede quit his job to 60 on
a journey. The boss asked him what was

King Expects Silver Wedding.

London, June 24.-King George and
Queen Mary expect TO celebrate their sill
yer wedding anniversary IN 1915 There
has not been an English sovereign who
has celebrated his silver wedding for

"75" HAS FIRED 1880 SHOTS.
Gun on Champagne Front Has
Served Since Beginning,

London. June 24.-There is a "soix-
ante-quinze" in service still on the
Champagne front which has been In
action ever since the opening of the
war. 1t is believed this gun is about
the sole survivor of the early days
of the struggle and that its record to
date of 1880 shots fired is far and
away ahead of any other gun.
Naturally the piece has not come
through all this unscarred. More than
once it has looked like a case of
Knockout" but each time its lucky
star has saved it, and although the
gun carriage is all battered and bruis-
ed the cannon itself is as good as
ever 1t was and its men firmly be-
lieve 1t will outlive the war.

| II the Zeppelins have proved a failure
they nevertheless are responsible for the
German areoplane.
German Engines Superior.
AT the very beginning of the war Ger
horsepower engines, evolved during ex-
periments with heavier-than-air dirigi-
bles. We had nothing but 20 and so horse
power engines to send against them. The
calling thing was that the German Mono
Gnome engine is nothing but an ado pta-
ton of French models. Later, the Ger
mans were able to put 2CO horsepower
engines on their fastest scout planes, and
we-well, We made progress, too. An
other point in favor Of the German en-
gines for many months was their ex-
treme reliability. Few German planes
were compelled by engine troubles to de-
scend behind our lines. That too, is due
to those years of experimenting in peace
time.
Great engine power means s;ore than
speed, 1t means climbing ability, which is
no less important. Our planes, better in
every other respect, did four times as
much work over the enemy's lines as he
did over OURS in January, according to Of
1cial figures. and that proportion I know
has been more than maintained since that
time.
Now you have the clue to the successes
of 1mmelmann and Boelke. Boelke's ex-
ploits have been performed at the other
end Of the line, but we know a good deal
about 1mmclmann here. The Germans
call him the eagle of Lille His trick Is

Il don't know whether he was crazy or

Fate is a thing OF queer quirks and
caprices.
Take for example Champ Clark. The
causes which led to the selection Of
Champ Clark for the position of Speaker
of the House of Representatives had
their beginnings away back years ago
no telling just how far back-maybe be-
fore he was born.
When Champ entered Congress at the
beginning of his first term, he was as in
conspicuous as one of these little Pome-
ranian dogs would be at a rat killing.
He had the usual feeling of a new mem
Der that he could be a great help to one

one. And this, of course, he did not do
