BRITAIN'S FOOD DICTATOR

OF all the members Of the new
Lloyd George administration, the most
remarkable undoubtedly is LORD
DevonpOrt, born the son of a small
farmer or peasant at UXbrldge, in
Middlesex, and formerly errand boy
in tea concern. He made fortune
in the grocery trade, outstripping his
rival, Sir Thomas Upton, who had to
remain content with mere barOnetcy.
And now he is a peer Of the realm.
But it was not as grocer that he
won fame His chief title TO distinction
was his administration of the port of
London. He disposed of the great
dock strikes which in 1912 paralyzed
things and threatened the metropolis
with famine.
Every pressure was brought on
that occasion to induce him to give
way to the strikers, but Lord Devon
port declined to surrender, although
Ben Tillett and other labor leaders
publicly urged the strikers to shoot

BOOTH HARRINGTON AS "THE DUKE"

Few of those who have followed
the life of Booth Harrington know that
at one time the author was known In
Capri as 'the grand duke"
Mr.. and Mrs. Harrington. who had
been staying in the Hotel Quisisana,
Capri, for some little time, were about
to journey to Rome, where they had
engaged rooms at the Palace hotel.
At Capri the American novelist and
his wife were known as "the grand
duke and Duchess" because they
never questioned the first prices that
were asked for anything they wished
to buy, no matter how exorbltant and
outrageous were these prices.
The general custom in Capri was
to ask ridiculously high prices and to
come down gradually to a business
basis. What still further impressed
the people of Capri with the munifi-
cence of their ''grand duke and duch-
ess" was that, when attending a ma
tive wedding, Mrs. Harrington, sud-

Of their approach was given.

The first official report said:
"a squadron Of some IL to IA enemy

o'clock III the morning. A number of
bombs were dropped, and the latest
reports state that eight persons were

slight material damage was caused.
Fire was opened from the antlair-

very bad. The raiders also were en-
gagged by our own aircraft from a
neighbOring station.

The Egyptian Scale.

The seven great tones of the Egyp-
tion scale represented among the tenn
pie priests the planets of Sun, Moon,
Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and
Venus. The scale mystically repre-
sented also the seven days Of the week,
the different keys indicated the gods
and goddesses Of the old time. The
veil of the old Egypt, says one writer,
has never been lifted. Nor can the
modern mind follow through all its
mazes that system of music, philoso-
ply, religion, astrology, astronomy and
pantheism of which one of the notable
expressions was the music drawn from
the harps and Tyres. From these mys-
teal sources have descended to us the
modern orchestra, the stringed choir,
the violins, cellos, basses, violas. The
most direct example-the harp-is no
more now than mere adjunct.

SIDEWALKS AND COLD GERMS
Relationship Between the Two Traced
to Conditions Which Result in
Getting Feet Wet

That close relationship exists be-
tween sidewalks and grip epidemics
Is asserted in Good Health by Martin
Nevins. Grip and colds, says Mr. New
ins, are germ diseases. Germs are
floating about US in the air. We breathe
them in by the thousands. "But they
are cowardly fellows-once they get
inside Of healthy body they retreat"
He gees on:
"It is only when one thing or another
disturbs our health equilibrium that
the bugs manage to gain a foothOld In
our system. 1t may be injudicious eat
ing, 1t may be lack Of fresh air, but
most frequently 1t is some kind Of ex-
posure- getting the feet wet-that lays
the fortress open to them.
"It is not at all hard to get your feet
wet. And that is where the sidewalk
comes In. The ordinary sidewalk is a
right-hand assistant when you want a
cold foot bath. 1t Is built fiat, without
any slope to drain 1t.
The condition Is aggravated If there
occurs natural depression in the side
walk. The water runs into it and
stands until it is dried or Is frozen.
The natural result is harvest Of grip
epidemics, and any number of colds,
bronchitis and lung troubles. And
tuberculosis, too-this disease can
often be traced to sidewalks, since it
usually starts with some simple lung
affection.
"We must stop building fiat side
walks and make them convex instead,
so they will drain easily, and elevate
them slightly above the level OF the
ground"

London, July 5.-Col. William Corn
