Quality That Was Characteristic
of Colonel Roosevelt.
Matter Of the Removal of Old Rail-

called as Proof of His
EnerdX

Since the death of Colonel Rooss.
welt, old-timers in Washington have
been recalling many Incidents Illus
trative Of the tremendous vitality of
the man, his determination to get
things accomplished, and his unwill-
ingness to let red tape interfere with
the accomplishment of that which,
seemed necessary to be done. One
Of these incidents was recounted the
other day by Col. William Boyce
Thompson, chairman of the RoOse-
welt Memorial association. 1t was
narrated with much appreciation by Q
congressman who didn't appreciate It
so much when 1t occurred. 1t ran
as follows:
The government was cooperating
with the Pennsylvania and Baltimore
& Ohio railroads in the project for
a new union station-the present fine
edifice. The site of the Pennsylvania
old station-now the mall near the
White HOuse-had been purchased by
the government, and 1t was purposed
to raze the buildings. But congress
had been held late In a special SEES
sion, and the members were anxious
to get home, so 1t was decided to
postpone the letting of bids for tear
ing down the buildings until congress
reassembled the next fall. This duty
naturally devolved on the committee
on the District of Columbia, which
has charge Of government property
In the district Meantime a major Of
engineers was placed in charge. as
custodian.
When the committee held its first
meeting at the next session Of con-
gress. the matter Of letting contracts
for the railing Of the old station was
brought up.
"Why, gentlemen" declared an as
tonished representative, there Is
nothing to tear down. walked past
there this morning. and there's moth

station stood"
The committee sent pOst-haste for
the custodian, and the chairman asked
him sharply what had become of the
building he had charge of.

abundance of feed as well as access

leguminous feeds cannot be produced,

other grain or grass which will pro.

to getting the feed In the freshest pos

Watch Pigs Closely,
Every hog raiser is advised to watch
the spring pigs closely to see that they
are on their feed; that Is, that the an.
finals have good appetites and eat
their daily allowances of grain and
grass with relish and avidity. If pig
shows indications Of being ''off feeds
his owner should change the ration,
using barley in place Of corn and pro,
viding as much skim milk or butter
milk as is available. He should also
provide an abundance of pure, fresh
water for the pigs as well as plenty
of shade during the hot summer
months.
Freedom from lice means hog COM
fort. This can be obtained by the
plentiful use of crude or black oil
upon the animals as well as In their
quarters and wallows. Natural shade

Italy has just celebrated the fourth
centenary of Leonardo da Vinci's
death. His name has been often men
toned during the war and his prophet
ic genius recalled. 1t is known that
he intended to build alrplanes for war
purposes, but II is now claimed also
that he was the first to think of the
tank. In his letters to II Moro he
speaks of armored cars which could
shelter the occupants and drive right
amongst the enemy's masses, Staying
and shattering all opposition. It Is
unfortunate that more Is not known
Of Leonardo's intentions, and of the
way in which he proposed to propel his
craft. Horses might possibly have
been intended. for If horse could
carry less weight than the armored
motor, protection In those days was
more easily got than now. But 1t is
certainly very singular to read that his
cars were to charge ahead while the
infantry would follow behind-fOr this
is exactly what happened four hundred
years after his death.

Bio Demand for Diamonds.

The demand for diamonds all over
the world so far exceeds the supply
that the stocks of importers and cut
tiers are practically exhausted and they
are unable to fill the orders of their
retail customers. This condition was
attributed by New York jewellers chief
ly to the prosperity Of the country.
The wartime period Of bonanza wages
has made the working people the ma
TONS greatest diamond buyers. This
class. 1t was said, had absorbed large
portion of the small stones on the mar
Ret. but the rich man is as badly off as
the man Of moderate circumstances.
because the larger and more valuable
diamonds are scarce and higher In

The Jueo-s Iavs.

"Jugo- Slavs" means South SIavs. TIE
origin of the word as political desig-
nation is not definitely known. 1t aD-
peared, perhaps, first as an official
name for a South Slay combination at
the convention Of Corfu. 1t had, how
ever, been used previously by Arch
duke Francis Ferdinand to describe the
Slavic people of southern Austria
Hungary, Serbia and Montenegro.
According to the plan credited to
him the South Slavs were to be united
into one nation and to form an in
tegral part of Austria-Hungary, thus
changing it from a two-part to a three
part monarchy.

In choosing pullets for small back

1t will be the same way with the
nations of the future The more they
work together, the sooner they will
come to understand and like each
other.
For example, the League will estab-
fish an international organization for
the lettering of labor conditions in
different countries, for the protection
Of women and children and the native
inhabitants of civilized and semi-civil-
lied countries. One of Germany's
greatest crimes has been her barba-
rous treatment of the helpless people
in some of her colonies. One of the
chief tasks of the League will be to
look after peoples that are not strong
enough to protect themselves.
The League will appoint commits

may be carried on, not for the benefit
of any one nation, but for the benefit
of the whole world. Provision will be

principles, which are not hard
to understand when lifted out
Of the morass of technical discus
sion and freed from legal and

the debate in the United States
Senate. In response to this le-
quest he has written the follow

willingly because we knew they were

These are only few Of the benefits
the world will derive from the League.
AS time goes on we shall find more
and more tasks at which the nations
can work in common and a greater
number of opportunities to remove
causes which stir up jealousies and
animosities between races and peoples.
Objections Answered.
OF course we cannot hope to make
the great changes such as the League
of Nations will bring about without
opposition. Fortunately the war has
taught us the great advantages of
international cooperation. 1t was
only by good team work that the free
liberty loving nations were able to
whip Germany
The treaty which the United States
Senate Is debating obligates the men,
bers of the proposed League to pro-
tect one another against attack from
enemies outside their own boundaries
bent upon conquest. Although this
agreement (Artiele X of the Cove
nanO Is vital to any arrangement
which seeks to prevent war, it has
been attacked on the ground that 1t
would draw the United States into
wars in various parts of the world and
force us to send our boys to fight In
quarrels which did not concern us.
We should remember, however, that
the main purpose Of Article x Is to
frighten nations tempted to wars of
conquest from yielding to the tempta-
ton, by the certainty that they will be
crushed If they begin such a war by
universal boycott and a union of
forces of the world against them. II
big war breaks out again, the United
States will be forced to take part in
it whether we have a League of
Nations or not. We tried hard enough
to keep out of the war with Germany
but found we couldn't.
A little war contrary to the League
rules could be handled by the powers
close at hand. Certainly 1t would not
be necessary to send American troops
to suppress an uprising in the Balkans
when prompt action by the armies Of
Italy or some other nearby powerful
nation could suppress the fracas be-
fore American troops could even get
started.
