THIS HEAD WORTH $4,000
London Doctors Eager to Examine
Brain Of Man Known as
Human Encyclopedia.

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 l am not anxious to sell 1t yet
for dissection" Datas told a writer
for London Tit-Bits the other day.
sit Is worth more to me than $4,000"
Datas has lately been devouring
wal facts and had just added a couple
of thousand in two and a half hours
to his repertoire when we met.
"For an outlay Of t~wopence," he
said, II bought a 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 1t by heart"
There Is no doubt about it. I test
ed Datas with the book in my hand,
and no matter what question I asked
him-dates Of battles, air raids, names
Of ships sunk, famous generals CO.
reers-he answered them without hesi-
tation, says the writer.
Datas has had many amusing and
curious experiences, but the most ex-
traordinary was the friendly dinner he
shared with John Lee, the Babbacombe
murderer, and the late James Barry,
the eSecutioner who tried to Hang

Senator Lodges discovery"
From the New York Post.

In the mysterious copy Of the German
treaty which Senator Lodge Is reported
to have discovered appears a sensational
Tabor addendum" which he says will
startle both capital and labor when II
becomes known. The public history Of
this labor section is as follows: 1t was
debated openly by delegates from all the
allied nations, and the discussion, with its
results. was published in the news cables.
Incomplete summaries Of the text were
cabled and published. The complete off.
cial text was printed by the committee on
public information and released to Ameri.
a newspapers on April Is: some of them
copied 1t in full. Mr.. Gompers, on his re.
turn from Paris, commented on il pub.
licly, and an article discussion 1t appeared
In the American Federationist. Brock.
dorff-Rantzau objected to its terms, and
Clemenceau replied to him, both notes
heing published in the press. The Evening
Post, as well as many other dailies, has
printed several editorial comments on the
matter. Now the "addendum'' comes as
a surprise to Senator Lodge. If he is as
closely informed about other elements Of
the peace as he was Of this, his scholarly
leadership will be a beacon light to the re,
publicans.

West Should Unite.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.

At q recent meeting of senators from
the western states, each senator having
first explained the national legislation
desired by his constituents, 1t was agreed
by all that western delegations should
stand together for the accomplishment of
western desires.
II the west does not act as a unit on
western Questions We shall never get JUS
tice from the east. Having a numerical
majority IN congress-, the east insists on
settling our problems for us. We accuse
none Of them Of a deliberate desire to be
unjust to the west, but their judgment
Is controlled by their environment, which
Is OF the east, eastern. All our distinc-
tive problems are economic problems,
which can be clearly understood only
by those In immediate contact with them.
1t has been q conflict between theoreti-
cal conceptions n practical experience,
in which theory has had the most votes.
Eastern men settle eastern problems in
accordance with eastern desires. They
have settled western problems from what
they imagine to be a lofty conception
OF the general welfare" which, as a
rule, works out to be contrary to western
welfare. They nave been able to do this
by reason of lack OF cohesion In the west.

HOW DID He DO TT

During The night I had been awak-
ened' several times by the coughing of
a man sleeping in a berth across the
aisle of the sleeping car. I fell to
noticing b quality Of HIS cough and
specializing as to the cause of 1t. II
was a nervous, dry cough. It brought
up nothing and 1t was clear that 1t was
not intended to do SO. Each bark was
staccato in type. The banks were in
chains Of six and eight, each following
its predecessors quickly. There was not
time enough between the banks to get
much air In behind phlegm or to do
anything to promote raising. This de-
cided me that the person had a throat
cough probably due to smoking.
The next morning I got to the dress
ing room first. Presently along came
my across-the- aisle friend. He proved
10 be a young boy, say, Of 20 years. His
eyes were heavy. He deposited his
ciothing on a seat, took out a cigaret
ana smoked up, almost doing during
the process. This job finished, he con
ciude 1t was time to dress. He Lit
another cigaret and started dressing.
Whiie he was washing his hands there
was nothing out Of the ordinary. He
held his .cigaret in his lips. He man
aged to get his neck and ears washed
without disturbing his cigaret. Then
ne deucately touched the weed with his
myers, deposited 1t on the edge of the
stand, quickly washed his face, re-
sumed smoking and used a towe! Ia the
drying process while SO engaged.
by this time he was fully awake and
ne had made UP his mind to shave be-
fore breakfast Still smoking, he lath-
cred his face and shaved. To shave
MS upper lip he drew back his lower
Jaw. tilted his cigaret downward, lath-
cred the lip and scraped away. When
IT came to the lower lip he protruded
lower jaw, drew in his upper lip,
tilted the cigaret up and kept it dry.
IL would not take many generations
for this tribe to develop into giant ant
eaters, though they would never be-
come prehensile enough with their lips
to belong to the elephant tribe.
All the while that he bathed and
haved he smoked and incidently in
hailed. He smoked on the way to the
diner, but not while he was at the
table. Leaving the dining car he lit a
cigaret and went after it again. Here
my record ends, for soon after my
destination was reached.
How much harm was this amount
OF smoking doing? 1t was causing the
cough, but that is not liable to develop
into any lung disease. The cough was
disturbing his sleep and preventing
him from starting the day fresh. I
doubt If any physical examiner would
have rejected him on account of any
orgaEtc defect due to tobacco. If he
keeps up his present rate of use Of the
drug he may expect to feel the effects
in his eyes or heart in time.
That he Is addicted to the use Of the
drug was certain. I should say hat
there was no much pep or push to the
boy and probably not much of charac-
ter. 1t is Just as likely that these
qualities were the reasons that he was
a cigaret fend as they were effects Of
the drug.
No. He did not brush his teeth.

Fish Wounded In War.

The Inspector for the eastern sea
Fisheries board in a report says: 'The
Fishery officer at Mablethorpe informs
|me that of the cod caught on long
lines one in five had bad wounds.
Some We're totally blind, others with
|out nm eye, and the larger number
were wounded In the body. The Gro
|mer officer told me that he and the
Fishermen on the Norfolk coast had
noticed many goldfish with wounds
and scars. The Sherrlngham officer
states that the packers have come

|as many as FIVE wounds."-London

From the Seattle Times.

Reports thai Britain Ia asked New
Zealand for help in fighting American
packers, IL true. will be viewed with
eq%uanimity in this country. So, for that
matter, would be an announcement that
American packers had decided to cease
shipping for q time to Great Britain. The
home market is satisfactory. Were prices
to go down, the public naturally would
buy more heavily; possibly not to such
an extent a. to offset the loss Of the
British business, but enough, at least. to
make good some Of this deficiency.
II New Zealand's competition, artifi-
cially cultivated, should cut profits In the
British market, by all means let the
American packers stop shipping. 1t
would be better by far to give the home
population the benefits Of any economies
that might result from this situation.
Furthermore, were h New Zealanders
Allowed a monopoly of the English mar
ket, they probably would ask and re-
ceive as good prices a the Americans
have been asking and, incidentally,
might find II difficult to furnish this trade
all the meat products II needed. A
month or two Of this experience probably
would cause our friends overseas to well
come a return Of the American packers
to the British market.

Dressed to XIII In "sheII.cIoth."

Shell-cloth is the name Of a new
fabric being manufactured in Eng,
land. The stuff is a fine serge and an
essential part Of p%rojectiles.
And nov that the war is over the
stuff is going into the making of
clothes instead Of shells, says the
Philadelphia North American. II
ought to make "staggerlngly" good,
looking clothes, don't you think? One
woman might say quite truly to an
other: "Oh, my dear, she was dressed
to kill, all In shellcloth."
Or, on the other hand, what clever
opportunity for the feminine cat to
say that her dear enemy has "shock-
ing taste In the matter of Clothes !"

venient time, has killed more than

as scarlet fever, 81 per cent more
than whooping cough, and only II
per cent less than the dreaded
diphtheFia. When will We put an
end to the needless sacrifice Of
child life? Parents and those re-
sponsible for the care of children
should know and realize a few es-
sential facts.
Measles is an extremely contag-
ious disease and is highly fatal
among the young. Those who
know, look upon measles with fear
in their hearts, and we'll they may.
Within a year there were $50
deaths from measles in Illinois, and
only three deaths from smallpox,
Notwithstanding that there were
5000 cases OF smallpox within that
year
Measles is contagious before
the eruption appears. A ''feVerish
cold"-cough. sneezing, red and
watery eyes and the ''snuffles' in
the presence of the disease in a
community. is the signal for con-
filming the child, pending further de-
veIopments. Eruption appears
three or four days later
The disease develops in from
Z to IS days after exposure. Quar-
antine is absolutely essential to
control the disease. 1t is a crime
to expose a child to measles, hop
ing he may have it and get over
with it
1T can be avoided-with care"
