OF course you have heard Of Datas,
the human encyclopedia-the man
who can memorize and reel off dates
quicker than the fire Of a machine
gun; the man on whose head the doc
tors have placed a price Of $4,000?
'But I am not anxious to sell it yet
for dissection" Datas told a writer
for London Tit-Bits the other day.
"It Is worth more to me than $4,000"
Datas has lately been devouring
war facts and had just added couple
of thousand in two and half hours
to his repertoire when we met.
For an outlay Of twopence," he
said, IT bought little book on a
bookstall, called Two Thousand Facts
About the War; I bought 1t and read
the list through In two and a half
hours and then knew it by heart"
There is no doubt about 1t. I test

and no matter what question / asked
him-dates Of battles, air raids, names
of ships sunk, famous generals ca

Datas has had many amusing and
curious experiences, but the most ex-

ity socialist leader as minister of for

The name of Eduard David, chosen
minister of interior, has been linked
with that of Philip Scheidemann, as
one of the leaders of the German
socialist party in the reichstag since
before the war. From 1915 to the
time of the revolution last November,
DR.. David in his speeches in the reich
stag opposed a war of conquest by
Germany. DR.. David was member
of the original German delegation to
the peace conference, but retired in
favor of Herr Landsberg on account
of ill health.
Matthias Erzberger, the new minister
of finance and vice premier, was head
of the German armistice commission
and is u leader of the centrist or
clerical party. The famous reichstag
peace resolution, adopted in July, 1917,
and declaring for peace without an
nexation or indemnify" was the work
of Erzberger.
Gustav NOske, minister of national
defense, became a leading figure in
German politics under the republican
government set up in Germany with
Friedrich Ebert as president. Herr
Noske was a storm center early in the
year because of his drastic measures
as minister of defense in putting down
the Spartacan uprisings.

And now that the war is over the

DETERMINATIONS.
Salt Lake City.-Following upon the
heels of the Rotary convention comes
the gathering of the retail grocers of
the nation in the Utah capital.
The part played by the retail groc-

sixth annual convention of the Ma
tional Retail Grocers' association,
which opened here June %.

retail grocers, arraignment of the

Federation Pledged to Obtain Shorter

Atlantic City, N. 1.-THE American
Federation of Labor, at its closing ses-
sion, on June %, of it's annual con.
vention, pledged itself to obtain gen.
eral 44-hour week for workers in all
crafts throughout the United States
and for employees in the government
service. The demand was based on a
determination to prevent unemploy-
ment, which, the delegates declared, is
one of the two primary causes of in
dustrial unrest, The other cause is the
decreased purchasing power, of the dol
lar. Manufacturers and employers
were urged to "bridge the gap" and
increase wages without any contro-
versy.''
