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

OF course you have heard of Datas,
the human encyclopedia-the man
who can memorize and reel of dates
quicker than the fire Of machine
gun; the man on whose head the doc
tors have placed price of $4,000?
"But am not anxious to sell it yet
for dissection" Datas told a writer
for London Tit-Bits the other day.
1T Is worth more to me than $4,000"
Datas has lately been devOuring
war facts and had just added couple
Of thousand in two and a half hours
to his repertoire when we met.
"For an outlay Of twopence," he
said. II bought little book on a
bookstall, called Two Thousand Facts
About the War; / bought it 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 ca
reers-he answered them without hest
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 executioner who tried to Hang

Dressed to XIII In "sheII.cloth."

Shell-clOth is the name of a new
fabric being manufactured in Eng
land. The stuff is fine serge and an
essential part Of projectiles.
And now 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! !"

There was some Improvement in the
bolsheviki situation and consequently
less apprehension on the part of the
peace conference. A national con-
gress of Hungarian soviets, over which
Bella Kun presided, appealed to the
French proletariat to aid Hungary and
Russia In their revolution for lib
erty." The progress of the Hungarian
communist troops against the Czechs
and Roumanians was checked, and the
reports from Russia contained no
alarming news. The White GUARDS

Wiki were preparing to evacuate Petro-

The German peace ENJOYS had an
unpleasant time last week. On their
departure from Versailles with the
final draft of the treaty they were as
sailed by mob and several of them
were injured by thrown stones-an I'M
fortunate occurrence for which the
French authorities made ample
apology. No sooner had the ENJOYS
reached Weimar than some sixty Spar
tacan prisoners, released from the Jail
there, attacked the castle where the
members of the government live. 1t
was their intention, apparently, to
seize Ebert, Scheidemann and Noske.
but they made so much noise that the
surprise assault failed and the troops
drove off the Spartacans. The Ger
mans considered this occurrence more
important than 1t appeared to be on
the surface.

Correspondence of The Associated Press) ).-Among the uniformed BoI- sheviki captured by the Allied troops on the Murmansk railway front, where American railway troops oper- ated for several months. was a wo- serving as a cook for a Canadian mess, who presented the strange con- trast of an Amazon who cried over a baby's photograph.
 Mrs. Petomtzeva, who Is 22 years old, was taken prisoner by Canadian troops at Urosozero, when dressed in a Red Guard uniform, trousers and all, and with the Russian ammuni- ton pouches strung over her breasts
 She said she had left Petrograd on April 4, to join her husband, who was a soldier in a Finnish regiment fight ing the Allies on this front For some time she led the life of a sol. dier, with her husband. The latter escaped at Urosozero.
 Mrs. Petomtzeva broke down and cried, say Allied officers, when she was questioned about a scrap book she carried, in which she had pasted d pictures, cut from magazines, of many babies. She said her own baby had died and that she had no photograph of him, and that she was trying to find in the magazines a picture that resembled him.

RADICALS LOSE GRIP ON UNIONS;
 NO BIG STRIKE

Paris, Aug. -(Correspondence of The Associated Press. )-The recent collapse of the movement for a gen. eral strike is explained in some quar- tcra by the saying that, while the ex- trcmists were getting control of the Socialist party, they were losing their hold on the labor unions, which, 3OO,- 900 strong before the war, now have a membership of more than 1,5O0, 900. The 30O,O90 were " sll in hand, it is said. but the 100000 have brought with them a certain independence of thought and action. The consequence is that the vast majority of union men are not ready to accept such radical measures as a general po- litical strike.
 The national committee of the La bOr Federation has issued a sort of platform declaring that production should be stimulated and increased by all possible means, and demand ing customs barriers be broken down, that inflated paper circulation be sup pressed. that national economic council be organized together with 2 national organization to control the provisioning of the country.

LEIGH HUNT Ina IS CALLED POET
 OF HUMANITY
Author of "Abou Ben Ad- dem" Was Celebrated
 Writer.

Yesterday VIC commem orated the death of Leigh Hunt, August 2S. 1859. The poet critic, and author of one of tho most appealing sonnets in the English language, whose last line Write mo as one who loved his countrymen' is a power in today, for we are now in period of tremen- dous anxiety for humanity. Who will love his fellowman enough to solve the world problem of hunger, unrest, despair,-the capital and labor prob lem?
 Leigh Hunt was one of the numer- ous distinguished literary characters of the first half of the Great Victor ian Era. As political writer, he had the courage of a lion; as a critic, he did much to overthrow the pedantry of the eighteenth century; as a pop ular writer, the famous sonnet speaks for this phase of his genius He was in the van of that illustrious army of writers which has fought the battle of the people and established the rights of laboring men. His magnifi- cent phillipic against the fulsome London papers around the notorious libertine, the Prince Regent (after- wards George IV.) would immortalize him in any age, as a man of courage. But Leigh Hunt was imprisoned for two years for tho bravery of his ar ticle and fined one thousand pounds. The confinement permanently injur- ed his health, but it fed the fountains of his brilliant mind. He made his prison a cage of beauty-papcred the ceilings with roses, and turned little yard into a summer arbOr. Hither came the great of the earth in let ters to visit him, Byron and Thomas Moore-and Charles Lamb. Leigh Hunts story of poor mans grace at table will live as long as language lives:
 And thou now provide for me, All
 mighty God,
 As I'd for Thee, if I were God, and
 Thou vert Martin Elginbrod.'

AGENTS SEIZE HOARD OF
 0UACK MEDICINE

Washington, Aug. 29.-Four hun dred and fifty seizures of so-caIled remedies for social diseases have been made recently under the food and drug act by federal officials who have inaugurated a campaign to sup press this variety of "quack" medi- cine. In making this announcement today the Bureau of Chemistry of the Department of Agriculture issued a general warning that use of such remedies" was extremely dangerous and likely to lead to a long period of suffering.
 Tine goods seized include a great variety of compounds" said the bu- reau's announcement. Some of the labels bear the claim of the manu- facturer that the contents are sure cures. Some even contain statements that cures will be effected within definite periods.
 ''In all the seizure actions the Gov ernment alleged the preparations are sold largely because of plausible but false claims regarding their cura- tive effect. Many sufferers are led to believe that cures will be effected by these preparations, and adequate treatment under competent medical supervision is neglected until per manent injury to health and even danger to life has resulted"

DEPARTURE OF TANK STUDENTS
 IS REGRETTED
British Express Regret As Our Soldier Students
 Leave Cambridge.

Cambridge Eng, Aug. 2S-CCorre- spondence of The Associated Press)- The departure of the American sol dier students from Cambridge Uni versity is regretted. They are miss ed.
 Quite a gap has been left by the Americans" the correspondent was told by W. F. Reddaway, of F'itzwil- liam Hall, censor of non-coIleg giatc students and Rev. J. P. Whitney, professor of ecclesiastical history at Emmanuel College, put in a quick corrobOration. Indeed they are, 9 said he. They were a cheery lot We all liked them. T ey lent quite a bit of color"
 The university authorities generally were impressed by the earnestness with which some of the Americans buckled down to work. All did not work hard however, many taking the view that they would profit more by looking about in ieisurely fashion, studying English practices and man. ners and cultivating the social side or things, than they would by burying themselves in books and lecture rooms during their limited stay.
 Cambridge is beginning to make a bid for American students who look to Europe as a field for postgraduate work. Formerly Americans had great difficulty in securing degrees of Doctor of Philosophy in British uni versailles, so they went to Germany. Cambridge now has arranged a PhD. Sir Godfrey said, that will have a special appeal to American research CTS.
 English postgra duate students, like the Americans, used to go to Ger many. To offset a resumption of that practice, Cambridge is arranging to have its men go instead to universities in the United States.
