ATTEMPT TO SECURE
 PEACE COMP PROMISE
HITCHCOCK SAYS HE DOES NOT REGARD PRESIDENTS DECLA-
 RATION REAL COMPROMISE.

Washington.-The fortunes of the treaty of Versailles became even more unsettled when, on top of Pres ident Wilson's Jackson Day pro- nouncement for taking the question to the American people in the polit- ical campaign and William J. Bryan's opposition to such a course, Demo cratic and Republican friends of the treaty in the Senate renewed their efforts to secure compromise rati fication.
 Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, acting Democratic leader, said he did not regard the. presidents declaration as calculated to cut off any reason. able compromise, and predicted rati- fication before the presidential cam paign was under way. The mild res. ervation group of Republicans took much the same view, and the group of Democrats who have been demand. ing a compromise declared their DO sition is unchanged.
 Discussion of compromise reser vations continued actively as before A conference was arranged on the Republican side to take up the sci of reservations submitted recently by Senator Kendrick of Wyoming and other Democrats. All of the parties to the negotiations seemed hopeful.
 Among the treatys irreconcilable foes, however, the presidents stand and the statement of Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the Republican Senate leader, that he would most cordially welcome" the treaty as a political issue, were hailed as having put the question into the campaign This group has predicted failure for the compromise negotiations.

 Baxter, find out all you can about angina pectoris," he said to a budding young journalist, "and be quick as you can"
 Twenty minutes passed before the aspiring journalist returned.
 "Well," queried the editor, you've been long enough about it; what have you learned?"
 Well, I've done my best" was the answer Eve looked in all the local directories, and the London directory as well, and there is no such name as Angina Pectoris. Then I made a thor ough search through some of the bi- ographies in the office library, but found nothing. No one in the building has heard of such person. Perhaps she's married now, and that was her maiden name. Are you quite sure you've got her name right, sir?'-Lon- don Tit-Bits.

Learning About Nitroqen.

Recent experiments with the alpha ray have led to the discovery, says the English Mechanic and World of Sci ence, that nitrogen, which for cen tury and a half has been regarded as an element, may not be an element at all, but a compound of hydrogen and helium. It is an interesting coinci- dence that Doctor Dalton, according to the now accepted account, was led to his theory of the atomic structure of matter by a study of the physical properties of the atmosphere Sir Ernest Rutherford, by experiments on the same gases, now sees in each of Daiton's atoms of nitrogen an atomic system in which two distinct elements play part, and nitrogen itself ap- parently is to disappear as an element.
