BUY-A-CALF MOVE! :
NOT FOR BELL BOYS
Capital Hotel Employees Say Cost to
Keep Is Too Great.

THE "Buy-a-CaIf" movement,
adopted by hotel men and bell hops
in New York. is regarded as a huge
joke in Washington. Bell boys at
leading hotels here say that they
would much rather buy liberty bond.
The announcement that the bell boys
at the McAlpin Hotel in New York are
planning to adopt one or more calves
as means of conserving the beef
supply Of the country, was derided
last night by a bell hop who is now
employed by one of the largest capital
hOstelries. Interviewed by a reporter
for The Herald as to whether Wash
inSton bell boys would aid the move
ment. he said:
Where would We keep them? Of
course that is very simple matter
for the bell hops at the McAlpin,
where they have roof garden that
would furnish excellent pasturage and
Of course where the hotels haven't
meadows on their roofs, the bell boys
could use the subways. Here in
Washington. We haven't any subways.
and as for the roof gardens, they are
not used for pastures"
The captain of the bell hops at the
New Willard declared that in view
OF the fact that winter is coming on
and the price of feed is high, it would
cost more to keep a calf than its meat
would be worth. In many sections,
he said, il is wiser to slaughter the
calves unless there is enough fodder
and wastage from milling operations
TO feed them. The fattening of cat
tie on bread grains, he declared, was
the poorest sort of patriotism.

Psychology of Sleep.

The psychology of sleep is vast ana
little explored subject. Sleep deepens,
to trance, trance to death. Therefore
in life, speaking somewhat paradox
ically, sleep is most akin to death
Whether the spirit is parted from tha
body and goes long Journeys through,
space or whether it is in a state of
one long dream, parts Of which we ara
alone conscious of, is matter for the
Society of Psychical Research. Yet
many of us have dreamed things, seem
things or even spoken and heard things
in sleep which we have seen. heard OK
spoken later on in reality. We can
more or less follow the stages up to-
the final sleep of all, but here we must
pause and, with Hamlet, i'll vain at
tempt to learn what lies beyond the
veil, 'And in that sleep of death what
dreams may comew-London Globe.

Novelists, even Of eminence, are.
prone to make blunders. Sir Walter
Besant in For Faith and Freedom"
wrote after the Eykins had settled In
Providence, "Barnaby soon grew tired
Of this quiet life and went on board a
steamer bound for England, promising
that we should hear from him." This
was in 1856 or 1857, and the first
steamer from America to England
did not reach Liverpool till July, 1915.
Wilkie Collins also made numerous
amazing blunders.. In "The Duel In
Herne Wood" he makes the story open
with the receipt of a telegram, and the
period is 1917, when twenty years had
to elapse before the first telegraphic
wire was laid. Three of the characters
also talk Of taking the express train
to London" in defiance of the fact that
the first railway to London was not
opened till 1888.

Save Surplus Beans and
Peas For Next Years Seed

Don't forget to save beans and peas
out of your surplus for the planting
next spring" is the advice which seed
experts of the United States depart,
ment Of agriculture ,&e sending to
home gardeners and market gardeners
throughout the country.
"Many market gardeners have beans
or peas which they find it improbable
to consume or to sell in the green state
at the present time," declared depart
ment expert '"They want to use the
ground for later planting, and there is
temptation to plow under the whole
crop. This, however, should not be
done. 1t is better to save tie crop, pro-
vided the stock is satisfactory, as it
can be used for seed next year. Beans
or peas in quantities beyond what is
needed for seed can be used for food"
1t is not difficult to handle and cure
the vines and pods of both beans and
peas. After the seed has reached full
size and before the vines and pods are
ripe and dry the vines should be cut
with scythe or sickle or pulled by
hand. They can be cured by merely
spreading on the ground until we'll
wilted. After the beans and peas arc
dried they can he thrashcd and tine
seed recovered.

Naval Captains.

The saying runs that as soon - n,
lieutenant is made comma der he h.
gins to carry stick, and as soon as nj
commander becomes captain h.
turns religious" For Justification ee'
the latter part of this assertion thsrei
exists the undoubted fact that nayas
captains are mostly serious minded
men who give some thought to the
greater things of life. Possibly their
hours of loneliness may conduce to
this frame of mind, though for the
most part their leisure hours are given
up to study of matters connected with
their calling. One well known captain
there was who used to hold prayer
meetings, which any member of thee'
ships company could attend. "Ra-
member, there are no rates to be pick
ed up here" the captain would warra
them before the meetings started.
meaning that any one who came there
hoping to curry favor and thus get pro-}l

In the course Of an address delivered

The First Elv Fishers

Doubtless the reason why artifciaE
flies were originally invented was be-
cause it was impossible to use the
smaller and more delicate natural flies;
as bats on the hook. The first fly fish,
er cast his eyes about him in search OF
something that would answer as imf-
tating the flies upon which the trout
were feeding. Feathers were naturally
the first materials thought Of. and the.
old red cocks hackle was the first of
all the artificial insects, the old, old
Adam of them all The breed has been
increasing several hundred years and
numbers 1900 or more at the present
day. OF salmon flies alone there arc
several hundred patterns. These be-
long to the lure order mostly, as. do,
many Of the large flies used for bass,
and trout. The little old red haekle
remains a good fly to this day and is
put upon bodies Of many colors, pea

as anything. Red wool is favored by
many.-Forest and Stream.
