Stamping a Scientist

Old Mr.. Brompton is very clever
man; he has enough degrees after his
name to supply a platoon of scien-
lists. Yet the other day his little
granddaughter utterly COMPOUNDED
him.
"Grandpa," said she, II saw some
thing funny running across the kitch-
en- floor without any legs. What do
you think it was 2"
Grandpa thought and thought, but
at last had to give it up.
"What was it," he asked.
"Waterl" replied the little lady
tr-iumphantly.
There is one happy thought about
being drowned at sea. After the
preparatory sea ?sickness, the final
plunge is a joy-ride.

TAUGHT A LESSON.

A German merchant in London had
insured his house for e400L The house
burned down and the insurance cons
pany's representative came to him
nd said:
"Your home was old and dilapi-
dated: It was not worth e4O0 We will
give you f3O0-or build you a bigger
and better house."
The merchant was very angry; he
wanted the Zoo. However. he
eventually thought 1t wise to take the
sa00. Whereupon the insurance man,
with the pertinacity of his kind,
suggested that, having settled that
little matter satisfactorily, the mer-
chant might do further business with
them. Was his life insured? Yes it
vos. Was his wife's? No. Would he
insure It? No. Why not?
Il viii tell you Wy not" he replied.
Il insure my wife for 200. Ven she
die you come to me to say. Your wife
vos old and dilapidated. she vos not
worth 200. We viii give you f3Oo-or a
bigger and better wife," : London

TAKES Up
ARMY BILL TODAY
First Fight Over War Pro-
gram of Administration
Expected Now.

Washington, April 20.--Thc first
real fight over the administration war
program will begin tomorrow when the
senate takes up the army bill drawn
by the general staff and approved by
President Wilson.
The bill goes to the senate with
seven Of the II members of the mill
tary committee in favor Of a call for
volunteers instead of the proposal Of
the bill to raise the war army by
selective draft. There will certainly be
several days of debate. Lines have
not been drawn definitely but friends
of the bill were confident tonight it
would be. passed by good majority.
Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the
committee said it would pass practi
cally as reported.
Efforts to change the measure will
center on the amendment beaten in
committee. to add provision author
izing a call for volunteers, offered by
Senator McKellar, a Democrat. A re-
port prepared by the Tennessee sena-
tor supporting the amendment has the
approval of six other committee men,
bers and will be submitted formally
tomorrow.
Senator Chamberlain expects to keep
the bill before the senate until a vote
Is reached.
The house military committee will
meet tomorrow and formally approve
the measure a majority has substituted
for the general staff measure, which
provides mat the volunteer system
shall be given a .trial before draft is
resorted to. The minority will vote
for the staff bill and reports by each
side will be filed with the house when
it meets Monday.
Chairman Dent Of the committee
said tonight the bill would be taken
up Monday.
| Although it will not affect the bill
Chairman Chamberlain today promised
several pacifists a hearing tomorrow
