RearIna From Rome.

Prominent Republicans are dis
gusted with the Lodge, Borah, Knox,
ct al, effort to make the League of
Nations a party issue, as these sena-
tors have been endeavoring to do
Prominent Republicans in their ad-
dress to Senators Wadsworth and
Calder recognize this as their petition
urging that political partisanship
should have no place in the considera-
ton on its merits of the Constitution
OF the proposed League of Nations
The petitioners declare that the Re-
publican party cannot justly be
placed in an attitude of hostility to the
project adopted by the Conference at
Paris and they urge that the treaty
containing the Peace Covenant be
promptly ratified by the Senate with
out attempting to embarrass 1t by
amendment, thus delaying the CON
clusion of peace and the establishment
of great agency for its future preser-
vation."
Various senator's regard the Cove
nant as purely political matter to be
attacked as such, but they are hearing
from their constituents. The people
do not consider the League as a party
matter, and leading senators find
themselves off on tangent without
support and backing. In due time
they Viii be confirming the treaty of
peace and still later they will swell
with pride because of their part in
bringing it about That is what al
ways becomes of Senatorial opposition

When a Cow Meets ain Auto.

When cow faces an object both
eyes may with east be focused on it.
When an abject is at the side or near
one eye may be focused on it, while
the other is viewing objects in quite
different direction. Evidently the
animal may direct attention to one
object with both eyes, or 1t may in
hibit one eye and direct and concen-
trate attention with the other tow
ard some attention of fear or fancy.
In advancing in car toward cows
standing in the roadway, it will be
noticed that those facing the car u.s.
ually turn to one side and let the car
pass: those with side toward the car
will, If ON, say, the right side of the
road, run and attempt to cross to the
left side; those with head away from
the car will usually run down the
roadway ahead, turning off at one
side or the other
The reason why the COW or chicken
on the right side of the road turns to
go over to the left and vice versa, is,
| suggest, because the eye of the ami
NAL, which sees and appreciates the
danger of the advancing car, is by in
stinct kept on the dangerous object.
To turn to the right and escape
would blind the animal during the
period OF turning, and this she will
not willingly do But if she runs
across the road in front of the car,
the eye with which she first Observer
it will keep IL clearly and continuous
ly in view, and, she thinks, allow her
to escape the impending danger
Even when safely across, if turned
around, by encountering fence, or
by chance, so as to perceive the enc
my with the other eye, have seen
her run for dear life to recross the
road to the side whence she is just
come. The instructive action, origin
ally protective, is thus made source
of danger to the animal. The chick
en- with the monocular vision, labors
under the same hallucination. it, too,
thinks that the danger may be avoid
ed by running with all its might,
keeping the enemy all the time in
view with the eye that was originally
turned toward it. Thus. truly, the
COW crossed the road because she
crossed the road.-Toronto Telegram.
