DEEM PICTURE OUT OF PLACE
British Authorities Request Removal
of Kaiser's Portrait From
Tonga Kings Palace.

GPrmany's interesting relations with
the little kingdom of Tonga in the
South Pacific are recalled by recent
incidents there. A few years back
life-size portrait of the kaiser mounted
within a massive gilt frame was pre-
sented by the German government to
King George Tuboa II, the present
ruler of the archipelago. Forthwith
this picture adorned the walls of the
wooden palace at Nukualofa, the cap
ital of the kingdom. Germans-whO,
shortly before the war, were rather
conspicuous in Tonga-were wont to
admire the painting when they came
to pay their respects to King George.
Moreover, close at hand were busts Of
Emperor Frederick of Germany and
Prince Won Bismarck. SO delightfully."-
Informal in many ways is the Tongan
court that the busts did excellent serv-
Ice as hat racks on festive occasions.
But not so with the present from the
"All Highest" But alack for the big
picture of the kaiser in little Tonga
After the war had been in progress for
some time the fact of its existence and
whereabouts came within the purview
of the British government and that
government requested the Tongan gov
eminent to remove it from the palace.
The pith of this request was that Ton
ga is a British protectorate. But not
withstanding Tonga is a British pro-
tectorate it is the last independent
kingdom in the Pacific and it prides
itself on having not only monarch
but a cabinet and parliament.-New

We climbed into a motor accOmpan-

one of the characters Of the unit, Ma
.ior Theodore Waters writes in the
Christian Herald. He is more than
that; he is an institution, is Marcus
a product of the peculiar stress
through which Jerusalem has passed.
He says he is IA years old. But he
looks much younger and acts much old
er. He can read and writes English,
Russian, French and Arabic, and he
passed through all the regimes, Turk
ish, German and English. and he has
taken toll of each in the acquiring Of
languages and baksheesh. Yet, strange
ly enough, he is both industrious and
honest, and is the sole support of his
widowed mother. If you would know
what he looks like, imagine a gnOme

DELIGHTED IN HIS FREEDOM
Youngsters Chief Enjoyment of Va
cation Came From His Defiance
of All ConventionaIities.

The best sort of vacation and the
only kind that really is benefit to
the one taking it, according to Lewis
Weisenberger, is the one on which all
conventional rules of conduct are
broken. To enjoy vacation one must
do absolutely as he pleases, Mr.. Wei
senberger continues.
In proof of this contention Mr.. Wei
senberger tells the following story on
a young lad with whom he hibernated
in the wilds of Michigan for several
weeks this summer.
The campers had taken a large sup
ply of towels with them, as bathing
was expected to feature the holiday
events. On arrival at camp each mem
Der of the vacation. party received his
appOrtionment of the towels and the
lad was duly included in the division.
On the second day of the vacation
week Mr.. Weisenberger was surprised
to find the young lads supply of
towels packed securely away in one
corner of the cottage, thus far I'M
touched. He Immediately summoned
the lad and inquired whose towels
he had been using, since his own sup
ply was undiminiahed. He was not a
little taken back by the lads reply:
Jaw, 1 didn't wash my face yester-
day"
Even with face unwashed and tow
els untouched, the young barbarian
probably enjoyed the vacation trip
more than did any other member of
the party, Mr.. Weisenberger says.
And the reason for the lads enjoy
ment, he believes, is the fact that he
violated all rules of personal etiquette
and lived one entire day with his face

REALLY NO TROUBLE AT ALL
Possibly American coIored Cook and
French Baker Belonged to
the Same Lodge.

The American Red Cross canteen at
Dion, France, boasts the possession
of Tom, colored cook from the state
of Georgia. Saturday nights Tom
makes something special" The last
Saturday in August the special was
chocolate layer cake. Thomas had no
suitable oven, and so without the aid
of a single word of French he induced
a nearby French baker to loan his
idle ovens.
"How did you do it, Tom?" Miss
Field, the directress, asked him.
ooh, 1 jes' told him that these here
boys of ours would certan'y appreci-
ate it If he would bake a little cake
for 'em. An he didn't make no fuss
bout it. 'Certainment,' he says, and
so l puts the cakes in the oven, an
that's all there is to it."
"Tom," replied Miss Field, 'yOu are
a wonder"
That is what our boys said when
they ate the cake.

In a novel English method of pro-
pulsion for canal barges, a small air
pump driven by the engine creates a
vacuum in the chamber containing the
propeller, and this draws the water
above the level of the canal. This ar
rau-ement is claimed to lessen the ero-
siye effects making increased speeds
practicable. A barge OF 81 tons was
prepared for trial by mounting on it
an old motor car engine Of IS to 20
horse power, and from preliminary
tests was expected to run about five
miles an hour when loaded, and eight
or nine miles when empty.
