There was no insurance-the pol icy had lapsed-and the fire swept away all of my fathers means and put burdensome mortgage on his farm, two and half miles in the country.
 If there had been a navy of re- spectacle size In 1881 John Wingate Weeks would now be a captain in- stead of a senator. Nor would he ever have become a banker and thus have set at naught all the traditions of the Weeks family for self-respecting. capable and wholesome poverty.
 And yet psychological analysis Of inherited traits might show that the senator comes naturally by his talents for public affairs and finance. Any inquiry into his personality must in- clude the Wingates. the chief of whom, John, an Englishman, emigrated to New Hampshire in 1860.
 The Weekses and the Wingates in- termarried during the second Ameri- can generatiorf-the Weekses to con- tinue as farmers. with an excursion into potato starch, as has been re- corded, but the Wingates to become soldiers, preachers and statesmen. Paine Wingate. for example, the great grandson of John, was a member of the Continental congress and later senator from New Hampshire.
 A Big Man PhysicaIiy.
 John Wingate Weeks of Massachu- setts, in his name, therefore. goes back to the middle of the seventeenth cen tury. Perhaps his gifts are equally as ancient. Wherever they originated. he has made good use of them. He is well-to-do-but has less money. per haps. than is often represented-anG Republicans in Massachusetts have mo- tified the country that he is their can didate for president. If he is nomi- mated at Chicago in June, the main reason will have been that he is a business man. His candidacy, then. will be something entirely new in na- tional politics.
 In his measurements. Captain Weeks is a large man. A reasonable guess at his weight would be 250 pounds. His stature. perhaps, Is five feet and eleven inches. His eyes are gray and his manner is frank and hearty. While at the naval academy he could slowly raise a 112-pound dumbbell above his head with his right hand. Then, kneel- ing with one leg, he could slowly raise an S7-pound dumbbell with his left hand. More than that he could lower his hands to his shoulders and slowly and simultaneously put both dumb bells above his head the second time.
 A muscular youth, he was recon mended by his principal to the "pru- dential committee" that called at the academy in Lancaster on hunt of g teacher for their district school. The school was then closed-a group of the large boys having carried the teacher into the road, slammed him down in the dirt and warned him never to return

Are Framing Up Election Bills.
By United PressD

Oklahoma city, Dec. 29.-That the
election machinery of the state needs
repairing is evidenced by the large
number of bills now in preparation
for the legislature that bear directly
on this question. Should all the var
led bills which seek to improve the
conduct Of state elections be enacted,
the revised law would be too full of
knotholes. For that reason legisIa-
tors are clubbing together and fran
ing bills in conjunction so as to elimi-
nate repetition and contradiction. One
thing is certain, the registration prac-
tice in the state is due for a change.
At present precinct registrars are
unable to do their work efficiently,
and county registrars are hard to Sc
cure because Of the lack Of compen-
sation for performing the work.

Of men and materials seem TO be the

bility skilled men will be brought
back from the front to enable further
steel furnaces to be opened while
dilution of labor and utilization of

over seven thousand tons, the p. 4 o.
company has placed an order for a
big passenger liner and Furness Witty
have ordered seven big cargo steam
ers.
In various yards around the coast
ship repairing is being conducted as
rapidly as The moderate amount of
labor will allow, the recent stormy
weather having caused a considerable
increase in the demand for repairs.
Several new steamers are being fitted
out, notably ten thousand tonner on
the Clyde, a Royal Mail liner at Bel
fast and the twenty thousand ton Red
Star Belgenland, whereon some two
thousand men are employed.
In the Belfast district additional
building berths which have been
started will allow for the construction
