HAS FAD FOR COLLECTING
Anything Odd or Curious, San Fran cisco Man Is Eager to Add to
 His Possessions.

q met a man in San Francisco who goes in for collecting odd things on a large scale," said q traveller. "He has, to begin with, several ropes which have been used tO hang celebrated criminals. In the same room are number of menus obtained from hotels iE various parts of the world. He places considerable value on several corks which have been pulled from the bottles of wine used on the tables of well-known persons, and a dozen book dedications are considered an impor- tant feature of the collection. Some of the autographs in the collection are highly prized because they re- Quired the expenditure of not a small sum of money and quite little time. During his travels in foreign lands the collector picked up the thigh bone of a Syrian giant, a chameleon of Bar. barry, a great African lizard and a rose which was said to be 100 years old. He even turned his attention to beans, and has ten Chinese beans which are not familiar to the people of this country"

Arabian Table Customs.

"Whenever I visit San Francisco l dine with an Arab-a business ac- quaintance-aRd- the members of his family" said Thomas Hartwel of Mexico City, in an interview at New York. "In their eating they still at tempt to follow the customs of their country. At their table tasted for the first time the most popular Arab dish, which is called pilaf. It is made of olive oil and few nut kernels mixed with rice. My hosts wife makes her own bread, which is baked in flat cakes an inch thick and compares very well with the bakers bread which the Americans use. The Arab is dry eat CT and does not take his coffee with his repast. find that my host and his family sip their coffee in small cups and regard it as luxury. They still hold to the belief, in spite of the fact that they have lived in this country for several years, that those who do not make a noise with their lips in drinking coffee are illbred."

Rorneo Not Yet Civilized.

Although civilization has made ex- cellent progress in some parts of the East Indies, barbarous practices by the natives on the island of Borneo still continue, according to o. k. Hoey, merchant of Batavia, Java. He said that traders who visit isolated sections of Borneo found it necessary to re- main constantly alert in order to guard against attacks by Dyaks, who, how ever, are gradually being driven farth- CT inland.
 ~On the island of Bali the men still load themselves up with many jewels and heavy chains as ornaments" he declared. '"The natives make good in- comes from their rice fields and traf- fic in pearls, but until a short time ago the sight of an automobile caused great amazement."

MusIc's AID TO MEMORY
Like Nctaing Else, Strain of Music Will Take One Back to Scenes
 of the Past.

Have you ever realized the power that music has to carry the memory back years and years until the illusion Is so realistic that when your mind returns to it's immediate surroundings you realize with a start 1t was only day dream-that you were not actual ly and physically where your thoughts were? A few bars from one of the old songs carries you back to the old home. You see the fields, the river, the "ould kirk'' in the hay distance. You almost feel the evening breeze on your cheek and hear the familiar sounds-the lowing of the kine and the bleating of the sheep. You're liv- ing again those dear old days just as vividly as you did long ago.
 Or the strains of an old waltz re- mind you of your first dance years and years ago. You live over again the days before the dance when you were so busy getting everything Teady- and then the great night arrived. You remember your entrance into the bril- ] liant ballroom. You saw all those old friends whom you thought you had forgotten until now. Then the excite ment and the pleasure and the wonder ful dances-the people you met for the first time and the faces you saw for the last time. All this recalled by just a few bars of music.
 This is one of the reasons why mu sic has such a great hold on people and why it's charm never wearies-
 why some music no matter how old no matter how familiar or oft heard is always new. It is a necessity that there should be such music in every home, and thanks to the ingenuity that made possible the talking machine an( the player-pianO the musically un trained are not dependent upon theil gifted and tutored friends for thii
 blessing.-Exchange.

waaing War on the Rabbit.

Australia has spent millions in fight ing a pest of rabbits, for which man who turned loose three pairs of rab- bits in New South Wales, in 1850, is responsible, and which has made nee essary a woven-wire fence 1900 miles long, shutting off the fertile agricul- tural regions from the central and eastern semi-desert areas, where rab- bits most abound. We have a few rabbits in our own country west of the Rockies. According to the biological survey of the department of agricul- ture, fully 2O0,0OO,OO0 wild rabbits are annually killed in this country, yet men touring across the continent in- variably speak of the number of rab- bits seen.

M ADOO ASKS
 AUTHORIZATION FOR MORE LOANS

Washington, Dec. 9-Congress was asked by Secretary McAdoo today to authorize loans after the declaration of peace to governments which have been associated with the United States in the war to aid in feeding and re- constructing devastated countries.

 A special meeting of the Houss Ways and Means Committee, to which the request was addressed, was call ed for Wednesday to hear MT. Mc- Adoo and Assistant Secretary Left1ng- well on the subject.

LIVE ON ARTIFICIAL ISLAND
Salt Water Natives Who Wage An AL most Constant War on Solomon
 Head Hunters.

Built up artifcially on reefs or sandy pits, numbers of miniature is- lands dot the tranquil waters of shel- tered coves among the Solomon is- lands, Gertrude Emerson writes in Asia Magazine. Here live, separate from the head hunters who inhabit the unhealthful mangrove swamps and un- dulating grasslands of the interior or the lofty spurs running down to the sea, saltwater people more or less at enmity with the bushmen. Yet these salt water people are as fond of their fruits and vegetables, for which there is no room on their narrow, crowded island, as the junglefolk are of their fish. Truce is declared on regular bi- weekly market days and on neutral territory along the coast the women of both peoples meet and do their bar gaining. The dwellers on the artificial islands are sl1iIlful in all things per taining to the sea, especially in the building and handling of canoes. For upon this slender thread their exist ence hangs. The elaborately carved, crescent-shaped canoes may always be seen plying busily among the is lands. Frequently they are the only sign of human habitation in a world of otherwise empty sea and rooted palms. When the interminable circle of the horizon softens and disappears and the feVer-laden evening mists creep in, when the pale waters reflect as in a mirror the burnt-out sky of day, the canoes, silhouetted against the lumin. GUS water, slide swiftly to the method ica1 beating of paddles, accompanied by the low barbaric chanting of dark skinned mon

CHURCHILL GIVES
 CAUSE FOR BRITISH
 NAVAL SUPREMACY
fContinned from Page onel

(Continued from Page One) which we are determined to pre- serve has never been used in modern history in a selfish and aggressive manner and that 1t has on four sep arate occasions in four separate cen turtles, against Philip IL, of Spain, Louis XIV, Napoleon and the Kaiser, successfully defended civilization from military tyranny, and particu larly preserved the independence of the low countries.
 "In this greatest of all wars the British navy shielded mighty Ameri- ca from all menace of serious dan ger, and when she resolved to act it was the British navy that transport ed and escorted the greater portion of her armies to the rescue and deliv- erance of France. Our record in a hundred years of unquesuoned naval sway since Trafalgar proves the so- briety of our policy and the righte- ousness of our intentions. Almost the only ports in the world open freely to the commerce of all na- tions were those of our islands. Its possessions and our coaling stations were used freely and fully by the ships of all nations.
 We suppressed the slave trade. We put down piracy. We put it down again the other day. Even our coast wise traffic, so jealously guarded by every power in tho world, was thrown open to all corners on even terms by that ancient people in whose keeping the world has been wisely ready tC entrust the freedom of the seas.
 I've are sincere advocates of g league of nations. Every influence Britain can bring to bear will be used to make such a league a powerful reality This fine conception of Pres fdent wilson has been warmly wei comed by British democracies all ove1 the world. We shall strive to faith fully and loyally carry 1t into beinl and keep 1t in active benefit and ex istence. But we must state quit frankly that a league of nations can not be for us a substitute dor the Brit ish navy in any period that we cal foresee."
