MAN WITH A LONG.

How Sum of Five Billion
Dollars Was Raised to
Meet Expenses of War
Has Thrilled Parliament
on Many Occasions.
BY LOWELL MELLETT.
United Press Staff Correspondent


London, March 27.-IfB you wanted
to borrow a dollar. you wouldn't pick
out your bashfullest friend to do the
job for you, would you? "
That's just the difference between
gu and the British prime minister.
LLOYD George wanted to borrow ali
he could get. So he picked out the
most diffident most unassuming man
in English public life to turn the trick
for him.
America, meet Mr.. Bonar Law, chan
cellor of the eSchequer of Great Britt
ain.
A TYPICAL ScoTCHMAN.
There's a Scotch grin tucked behind
his ragged and dropping moustache
and a Scotch chuckle located some
where in that long, lean waist. He'll
be interested in anything you have
to say, provided your facts are on
straight. Don't muss them up when
you're talking to Mr.. Law. He Is too
courteous TO give you away, but he'll
put down mark against you for flu
ture reference.
The most thrilling moments of the
present parliament have been occa-
stoned b Mr.. Laws deadly executions.
In the midst of an argument designed
to dessicate the opposition, he will cas-
ually remark:
In this respect | agree with the
honorable and learned gentleman from
Blankshire."
Whereupon up jumps the II. and L.
gent from Is. and holly denies such ac-
cord.
LONG DISTANCE MEMORY.
Into one of his nine pockets reaches
Mr.. Law. Out comes a clipping dated
some months or years ago, quoting
the angry gentleman just as repre-
Sentcd.
That's a part of his long distance
memory. Bonar Law never forgets. In |
the face of a house filled with mem
hers waiting to trap him, he will make
two-hour talk-without notes-filled
with cumbersome figures and intricate |
facts. and never score an error.
Nobody is really more sure of him. |
Felf than Ronar Law. Take that little |
matter of raising five billion dollars.
Humbly, as befitting a mere cabinet |
member. he went to the inner circle
OF British finance. He asked the great |
money experts how it should be done.
They fixed up plan. Law decided on |
only one change. He made the in

NO uNEMpLoYEp IN COLORADO.

A reference to the "army OF unem-
ployed caused by prohibition" would
subject one TO ridicule In Colorado. Not
for score of years, says the Denver
Times, has there been such shortage
Of men In Colorado's many lines Of In
dustry. Every mining camp In the
state is said to be short Of help, and
the same is true Of the farming COM
munIties, and when the mines and
farms send to the city for help they
find the same situation. Labor In
Colorado seems to be very generally
employed" says w. L. Mansfield, who
is in charge of the free employment
bureau conducted by the United States
immigration service. "We are getting
very few applications for Jobs"

Submarine Saver Is Built.

An ingenious craft for the salvage
of submarines has just been launched
at Zaandam, the Netherlands, to the
order of the Spanish government. 1t
is a double-screw steamship made up
of two separate vessels six meters deep
and six meters broad, the fore and aft
decks of which are bound together
with an intervening space of eight me-
ters, thus giving the entire structure
a breadth of 20 meters. The open
space is spanned by hoisting apparatus
powerful enough to haul the sunken
submarines between the two halves Of
the ship. The electriclty-driven wind
lasses have total lifting capacity OF
$50 tons. with a test load Of 1000 tons.
On board the ship are four workshops
for the repair Of the salved underwater
craft, together with a hold for the
storage of torpedo heads. which can
in case Of fire be Immediately sub
merged. The vessel is 92h meters
long.

Mohammedan law does not run In
England was decided by the lord chief
justice recently. Doctor Mlr-Auwn-
ruddln, Mohammedan, and n member
of the English bar. married In 1913, an
English lady named Ruby Hood. After
some time they separated, and the lady
lived apart from her husband. The
latter then began proceedings and OBJ
talned an order for restitution OF con-
Jugal rights, but this was not complied
with, and proceedings for divorce were
then begun by the wife, but were dis
missed. Now. according to Mohamme-
dan law, IL the husband gives his wife
writing Of dlvorcement," or as II is
called "Talak." this constitutes a dl-
vorce. Mlr-Auwarudding did this and
then applied for a marriage license to
enable him to marry again. This was
refused, and the lord chief Justice sit
ting with Justices Darling and Bray,
upheld the refusal on the ground that
as the applicant was married In Eng
land under the English law, TO an Eng
llsh lady, the original marriage held
good. and must be dissolved In an Eng
llsh court of law. The religious law
of the applicant was not recognized.

WhAr SCIENCE SAYS.

In appearance the beer-drinker may
be the picture OF health, but In reality
he is most incapable Of resisting dis
ease. A slight injury, n severe cold,
or shock to the body or mind will
commonly provoke acute disease, end
ing fatally. Compared with other In
ebriates who use different kinds of al
cohol, he is more incurable and more
generally diseased. 1t is our observa-
ton that beer-drlnklng In this country
produces the very lowest kind Of In
ebriety, closely allied to criminal In
sanity. The most dangerous classes of
rufIians in our large cities are beer
drinkers. Intellectually stupor
amounting almost to paralysis arrests
the reason, changing all the higher fac
ulties into mere anlmallsm, sensual,
selfish, sluggish, varied only with
paroxysms of anger, senseless and
brutal.-Scientlfic American.

Effect Of Auto on Agriculture.

Every time an automobile displaces
a horse five acres OF land are added to
the agricultural area of the country.
Among the economic influences of the
motor car, this is one phase that is
commonly overlooked. There are
about 26,000000 horses In the United
States and each horse consumes six to
seven tons Of food year. 1t Is easily
figured that an average OF FIVE acres
is required to furnish food for each
horse. This means a total of 100000
600 acres of land devoted to pastures
and raising hay-over 100000 square
miles. This means land nearly five times
as big as Ohio. or an area larger than
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, de-
voted to feeding horses instead OF peo-
pie. OF course, the releasing Of all
this area from pasture uses and max.
ing It available for the support of pop
ulation will be tremendous economic
gain.

SOME FACTS ABOUT BEER.

A pint of beer contains eight-tenths
OF nm ounce of alcohol, equivalent near
ly TO tablespoonful OF whisky.
While cold beer tastes cool and
pleasant to hot man, 1t does not cool
him OFF.
1t heats him up.
The alcohol and solids are burned
into heat.
The effect of alcohol is to send an
excess of blood to the skin.
Whenever large amount Of blood
goes to the skin 1t causes feeling Of
warmth.
When man drinks beer he causes
himself to feel hot.
He also actually increases his body
heat.
He increases his chances of sun
stroke at least 100 per cent.-Dr. w.

MUSIC WILL HELP INVALID
Physicians Are eeglnniea to Believe
More and More In the Good Effects
OF Sweet Strains.

During the thirteenth century, when
the Arabs dominated n large portion
OF Europe and were carrying the
torch OF learning" through that period.
they established great hospitals for
the treatment OF all kinds OF ailments.
A striking feature OF some OF these
hospitals was music room, where
musicians played continuously through
out the "a hours for the benefit Of the
patients. The Arab physicians Of that
day believed that music had a very
positive therapeutic effect.
Recently an analysis Of the effects
of various types of music has been
made by DR.. Thomas j. Mays. which
may be epltomlzed ns follows: Ma
Jor music Is a tonic TO the emotions
which may be compared TO a stimulant
dose OF strychnlne or qulnine, while
minor music depresses emotional ac-
tivity In manner comparable TO bro
mide or sleeping potion. The ap-
parent objections TO this theory are
easily met and Doctor Mays believes
that music as an agent In the treat
ment of consumption has probably a
stronger claim on the scientific atten-
tion OF the medical profession than
many Of the remedies that are In use
at the present time. Keeping In mind
the undercurrent OF trlbulntion and
oppression that is nearly always pres
ent in the minds OF those suffering
from consumption, 1t would seem prob
able that by far the larger number of
cases would receive benefit from vari.
Gus forms Of major music. And the
same would be true of any form of
chronic disease.
For stages of high mental or nerv.
Gus tension. minor music Is indicated
And In this connection II Is significant
that music has been one of the thera'
peutlc measures used In all our great
insane asylums for more than a gen er'
alton.

Keeping Sheep Warm.

Through the ingenuity of certain
ranchers In the state OF Washington
their sheep were kept warm during
the intensely cold weather Of last
year by most unusual device. A
supply Of natural gas on the land
where the sheep grazed had been piped
and the gas issued from II at high
pressure. The ranchmen In the VI
cinity devised metal hood which they
fastened over the upper end Of the
pipe. When the gas was lighted and
allowed to iow freely 1t made cir
cular canopy OF fame which heated the
air for considerable area. In this
warmed region the sheep gathered
and were kept warm In weather that
would otherwise have proved fatal.
