MOVE MADE TOWARD
STRIKE ARBITRATION

Washington, D. C.-Concrete pro,
posals designed to bring about better
relations between employers and the
employed were laid before the nation
al industrial conference Saturday by
members of the various groups.
The proposals included arbitration
of the nationwide steel strike with
return of the men to work pending
settlement; an industrial truce start
ing Immediately and continuing three
months; creation of an arbitration
board by the president and congress
and including among its members all
presidents; and comprehensive
plan for adjudication of industrial dis
putes through boards of arbitration in
the various industries.
The conference also took it's first
concrete action in adopting a motion,
offered by Thomas L. Chadbourne, a
representative of the public, providing
that a committee consisting of three
members from each of the groups of
employers, labor and the public, be
appointed to investigate the high cost
of living.

WILSON HAS LONG
ROAD TO RECOVERY

Washington, d. C.-While President
wilson is believed by his physicians tc
be on the road to recovery, the pro
cess will be slow and tedious. The
president, it was reiterated Sunday al
the White House, must resign himself
to strict observance of the physicians
orders to put aside all thought of his
office while conyalescing and remain
in bed until danger of a relapse has
passed.
Rear-Admiral Grayson, the presi
dents personal physician, and the
physicians he called in more than a
week ago, continue to confine them
selves to terse bulletins twice day
That they are satisfied with the prog
ress their patient is making is appar
ent from the spirit of optimism that
pervades the White House, and the
resentment with which various ru
mors as to the presidents real con
dition are met by White House Off
Gals.

NON-MAGNETIC SHIP
TO EXPLORE OCEANS

Washington, d. C.-With enough
provisions aboard to last two years and
outfitted for voyage of $500 miles,
the noted non-magnetic ship Carnegie
is ready to leave Washington on a
task of tracing through the lone spaces
of the south Atlantic and Pacific
oceans the devious curves which the
magnetic pole lays out for the COM
pass needle to follow
This is the fifth and probably the
last trip of the Carnegie on that err
rand, which has already taken her
through 100000 miles of ocean during
the last ten years and has resulted in
much information that is incorporated
in the magnetic charts which sailors
use.
She was built by the Carnegie In
stitute especially for this work and
has neither steel nor iron in her hull
or fittings.
Captain James p Ault commands a
crew of II men who will sail her on
the present voyage.

Habit of CheerfuIness
Is Not to Be Acquired
Without Some Thought

Like other things worth having,
writes an authority, the habit of
cheerfulness is not to be acquired
without thought. And If you do think
about the matter at all you will quick
ly begin to realize that depression
and worry have their root in the fact
that your life-your time, that Is, the
days and hours-are not really in your
own control. You have no program.
Duties and demands crowd upon you
without order or sequence. If you took
them one by one they would not seem
formidable. But you allow their very
number to disturb you. So many
things to attend to give you the sense
Of hurry. And hurry is one Of the
most frequent causes of worry. Prac-
tice elaboration. Begin the day with
q program covering the Is or 16 hours
Of waking. If they are not to be gold
en- hours they are, at least, yours to
spend. DO not be rushed. Keep con-
troll of your time. Your time is your
life, and, in very real sense, your
self. 1t will not be easy to become
the mistress of your own time, but 1t
is worth practicing hard to do so. 1t
is fundamental.
When once you have obtained con-
troll Of your own time you will find
you have largely obtained control over
your own mind, whose possession all
sorts of worries led by the Spirit of
Fear their progenitor, had hitherto dis
puted with you.

Flavor and Quality Of
Honey Vary With Plants
Upon Which Bee Feeds.

Honey, which Is now luxury, was
in old times necessity; for it was
then the principal sweetener of food.
Sugar was not introduced until the
latter days of the Roman Empire, and
was first oddly described as an Indian
salt that was as sweet as honey. The
numerous references to honey In the
Bible are due to its being the common
sweetener used by the people.
Honey from the comb Is considered
to be the most luxurious form Of this
delectable sweet, and many persons
eat the wax with the honey. That Is
foolish thing to do, however-as
foolish as it would be to eat the paper
that butter is wrapped up in, or the
bag that contains sugar. The wax In
the honeycomb is in no way nutritious.
and is decidedly indigestible.
The proper way to eat honey in the
comb is to place piece of the comb
on ones plate, with the cells In ver-
tical position, and press ones knife
firmly upon it, so that all the honey
runs out. Eat the honey and leave the
wax.
The bees do not care for blossoming
flowers, as the poets imagine. They
are practical, unitarian creatures and
prefer the period just before fructifi-
cation. They dearly love clover, but
most kinds Of forest trees are very
useful to them. The flavor and the
quality of honey vary with the plants
upon which the bee feeds. Heather
honey is naturally popular in Scotland.
and the famous Narbonne honey owes
its flavor to rosemary. Occasionally
the bee is injudicious, however, and
chooses injurious herbs. The soldiers
Of Xenophon, after eating the honey
Of Trebizond, became either mad or
drunk. The effect was owing to the
bees having eaten poisonous azalea.

FLYING PARSON' AIR VICTOR
kiel 20 Seconds Ahead of Major, but
Loses Cross Nation Race.

New York-Lieutenant B. w. May
nard, the flying parson," won the first
coast tocoast leg of the army air race,
it was announced Saturday night by
officials of the American Flying club,
which assisted the army in the con-
duct of the race.
His actual flying time for the 27O1
miles from Mineola, N. Y, to San
Francisco, had not been officially
checked, but "a hours So minutes and
ssh seconds, was unofficially reported
as the flight time.
While Lieutenant Emil Kiel touched
the ground at Roosevelt field 20 Sec
onds before Major Carl Spatz in the
dash from west to east, Major Spatz
was credited with second honors, hav-
ing left San Francisco three minutes
behind Lieutenant Kiel.
Lieutenant Maynard's total elapsed
time was given unofficially at rs
hours AZ minutes; Major Spatz' as 80
hours and 40 minutes, and Lieutenant
Kiels as 80 hours and 43 minutes.
Only the unofficial elapsed time
could be given and the results of the
two other divisions of the race-actual
flying time and handicap time-must
await the receipt here of all official
reports, it was stated by club officials
Despite announcement from the
army air service at Washington that
the return trips of the planes would
be started on October 20, it was init
mated at the American Flying club
that the race might not be continued,
and that should it be, the route might
be laid out in easy stages through the
south in an effort to avoid the severe
weather encountered in the west.
Asked by Colonel Miller if he could
make the return trip in the same
plane, Major Spatz said he could, but
that he would not want to try it. He
said that while the engine was in per-
feet condition, he feared the plane it.
self had been put to too great strain
Asserting that all the flying fields
were good except that at Rawlins,
Wyo, which was too small, with
mountain jutting up at one end, Ma
jor Spatz declared that if single mo-
tored planes were to be used CONNER
cially for transcontinental work, land
ing fields should be built at 2OO-mile
intervals, but that if two or three
motored machines were employed the
