EXPERIMENTATION AND

An Alien Will bs Interested Only
 in That of Which He is Part.

Much has been spoken and written concerning Americanization of the foreign-born, and many methods, more or less good, have been devised. Of course, the immigrant should first know English. He will be more inter ested in American institutions when he can understand what is written and spoken about them.
 He comes to the United States be cause he expects to better his condt- t1on,-be better housed. have better food, better clothing. better opportunt- ties for his children Sometimes he acquires all this-and more Often he is disappointed. Ee Is thrifty; indeed. it Is said of him that if forced to work for tsn cents a day he would find a way to save at least one; but unless his savings are well invested they are like the talent fin the napkin.

41 FRENCH GENERALS KILLED
 IN THE WAR

Paris, March 17-Forty- French generals have been killed in the war, an official list states.
 Five of them, Generals Bridoux, Loyseau de Grandmaison, Marcot, erals of division, and the other 36 were brigadier generals, although at the time they met their death they were almost without exception In command of divisions.
 General BaTbot, one of the latter, was one of the most popular army leaders among the rank and file. Clad in a long soldiers overcoat and with the soft cap of the Alpine chasseurs by himself through the trenches. One day he was hailed by 8 poilue who was struggling along under the weight of two huge soup cauldrons Where are you off to?" asked the soldier.
 ITO the c. O., replied the general
 That's where I am going-give us "a hand with these cauldrons"
 Why certainly, sonny
 So the general and the poilu stum- bled along with the cauldrons be- tween them.
 At the c. O's Headquarters there were explanations.
 "I beg your pardon, general" said the poilu with a, very red face.
 Not at all, my son, you are very welcome" was the genial command CTS parting reply.

PREPARING TO
 TAKE CENSUS

Washington, March 1.-The act providing for the fourteenth and subsequent decenniaI censuses was signed by the President on March B. The enumeration, which will be made In January, 1920, is now less than ten months distant; and the Census Bureau already has under considera- ton the selection and appointment of not to exceed 400 supervisors who will have charge of the 90,00O emu merators. The supervisors districts will, in most cases, except in the large cities, have the same boundaries as the Compression districts. The supervisors, under the law, are to be appointed by the Secretary of Com merce upon the recommendation of the Director of the Census.
 The following instructions have been given by the Secretary of Com merce to the Director of the Census in regard to the procedure to be fol- lowed in making selections and ap- pointments of census supervisors:
 "A test examination, of which a record will be kept, is to be required for appointment to the post of super visor In addition to this, 8 careful personal inquiry is to be separately made resp pecting the qualifications Of each candidate. Of this inquiry. also, a record will be kept
 Tn making appointments from those who shall have passed the test examination and the separate inquiry as to qualifications, preference Is to be given to those candidates who have had executive. administrative, statistf- cal. or accounting experience and to those who have had charge of bodies of men as administrators, provided In all cases that men with the exper- ience stated possess the other quail fcations necessary.
 You will arrange to give notice to the above effect to every candidate applying for appointment and to his sponsors and no candidates are to be selected for appointment who do not pass both the test examination and the personal inquiry.
 You are requested to ask the Civ il Service Commission to prepare the blanks for the test examination of

CANDIDATES MUST DOLL UP" Win Have to Lock Their Prettieet If They Expect to Find Favor With
 Woman Voters.

IL is not necessary 10 go away from home tO find e<her the latest or best regardless of what Is wanted. Consider eyebrow archlng, for instance. A local beauty salon announces to the public that it does eyebrow arching, and ex- 1lains that this operation gives the eyes a deep. soulful expression with everlasting charm" Eyebrow arching advice for woman electors is saorc or less superfuoUs, It Is to the men, and more especially to the men who aspire to public of ce, that this beauty hint is directed.
 Throughout the country women are getting the ballot on equal terms with men. Women cannot vote in Indiana, but they are going to have that privi- lege before long. So many women have been enfranchised that they ROW hold the balance of power in this na- ton. So the woman vote will be more and more a real political problem to the candidate.
 Some electors care little for the per sOnal appearance of candidates, but most of them prefer a man of char acter. one who at least is presentable. Candidates in the future will have to bear this in mind. It will be well, in order to match rival candidates, for each to have good tailor and an ad- visOry committee on the proper shade Of cravats, Immaculate linen will have to be In every candidates platform. The high arched eyebrow will be even more essential to candidates than to hn who have political aspirations will be gin early, because eyebrow training takes time.-Indianapous News

SAID ICE CREAM "BURNED"
Think of It, French Riddles Had to Be Ceaxed to Partake of Strange
 Deiicacyl

Striking proof of the well-knOwn fact that extreme heat and extreme cold have the same physical properties was recently furnished by "Jugger" Crane, the scientist-philosopher of Company B, -th engineers. when he fed some American ice cream to a group of French children, says the SpikeF.
 The inhabitants of the French farm houses near the camp had never seen any Ice cream until "Jugger" took them over a mess kit full of the great American deIicacy.
 The children gathered around ex- pectantly. The first one took a spoon fuI and at once began to weep and de clare that the strange food was hot.
 The others who had watched rather horror stricken the fate of the first be- came convinced that 1t was some sort of white fire and would have nothing to do with the cream.
 The mother had to eat virtually all the cream in order to induce them to believe 1t was cold rather than hot and that when not taken too fast, was good to eat Eventually, the children ate the last of the dish.
 But they partook of 1t gtngeTly, evi- dently greatly mystihed that anything which first seemed hot then cold, could be good to eat

Learua of the War.

A woman was discovered in this city yesterday who has lived all through the great war and did not know that 1t was going on. She is an aged woman of German birth Her age kept her son from telling her about the horrors of the invasion of Belgium and of the sinking of the Lu- sitania. He didn't wish her to worry and fret. But the day of the peace demonstration made it impossible to keep silent. The old lady heard the whistles blowing and the crowds cheering and she demanded to know what 1t was all about When they told her she raised her hands in a gesture of imprecation and said: 'Oh, if only could get these two hands on the kaisert !" The interesting part of her story is that her husband was q Ger man soldier. The gray uniform was so detested by him that he made his wife, before his death, promise that she would come to America so that none of their sons ever would be com pellCd to wear the livery of the kali ser.-New York Sun.

ToDAYs ANNIVERSARY.

The first practical machine for the manufacture of envelopes was pat ented in England seventy-four years ago today by Warren de Ia Rue and F. Hill. Except for a crude process invented by George Wilson year earlier, envelopes had been made by hand. The introduction of chea D postage in England in 1840 had created demand for envelopes which the manufacturers were unable to supply, and the envelope machinery quickly proved highly profitable to the inventors. Prior to the establish rnent of the penny post, envelopes for written letters were seldom used, either In England or in America, and it was customary to secure, by wafer or seal, the sheet of paper on which the letter was written.
