CONFUSING RECORD
OF THE PARTIES ON
PEACE TREATY ISSUE
tcopyright By The IntsntEencsIJ
BY DAVID LAw1DNcR

WASHINGTON. March - - Twenty
three Democrats stood with President
Wilson: twcnty-cnc Democrats deserted
am. The treaty OF Versailles signed
last June IS st!u unratined. Technically
tho United States - At war with Ger
many. American foreign policy II un-
defined. And the deadlock in tho Ssn'
Will be carried into the presidential
and congressional elections FOR snai sec-
tIemeat next November.
Briefly that tells the story OF wha;
has happened after nine months Of
wear!sone debate. But the effect upon
'he future os both the Republican and
Democratic parties IS not as simply
snalyz~d True. the Republican party
IN the Senate stood twenty-eiIht for
ratification w!:h the Lodge reservations
as aga,ns, twelve who wanted neither
'reaty nor league nf nations. But the
votes OF the twelve were grouped with
,wenty-t three Democrats who said thsy
wanted the treaty but NOT tho reserv-
atlons 10 the league.
Any campaign orator or writer OF po-
lt.cal text books who tries 10 fix the
responsibility IN tho Senate upon either
rns Democratic or Republican parties
aS such Will have about as much chance
~ carrylnS conviction as the man who
t:ternpts 20 blame tho failure OF the
rr,atv upoa the diSagreeable weather OF
On. past winter.
Tor both Republicans and Democrats
have voted on all sides OF every motion
proposed and the record OF what no-
rurred IS about as confusing as an IN

MAKING ATHLETES.

OF the 1872 star athletes chosen 20 represent the
United STATES a the Olympic games 10 be
held in Antwerp a far greater number are from
New York city than from any other community
America, any other section.
Il may appear strange first thought. Why
should big city develop more athletes and better
athletes, in proportion to its population, than
smaller cities rural districts? Conditions OF life
In crowded communities generally considered
less favorable TO physical development And doubt
less they The fact is that young people in such
cities as New York acquire physical strength and
endurance in spite of their environment, because
they are supplied artihcially conditions that
enable them to overcome the handicap of metro
poltan life
There is much significance IN the that ply
steal training plays a very big part in the Iubc
schools OF New York city and that ample provision
Is made for continuing it afterward in colleges,
clubs and other institutions.

A SIS. 900 COLLEGE PRESIDENT.

Considerable comment has been occasioned by
the fact that DR. Burton. president OF the Uni
versty OF Michigan. is paid salary OF $4,000 a
year. more than double that received by the head
Of any similar institution this country. That a
prosperous bank industrial concern should pay
such salary its Ionsible directing officer
would discussion anywhere 1t would be
regarded a commonplace incident. Every large
city also has quota of lawyers surgeons
and engineers who annually at least the sum
mentioned. But it is considered surprising that
educator should draw $4,000 a year merely for di-
recting o a thousand American
youth and maintaining the university plant in a
high of efficiency
This mental attitude OF the public is eloquent of
its appraisal of the real value of academic educa-
ton. 1t thinks nothing OF the fact that motion pic
comedian should receive income in the
neighborhOod OF a million dollars year that
the speaking stage and authors Of best
selling novels should he avishly remunerated.
Among our popular newspaper cartoonists
young man OF limited art education who has been
the game only a few years and is receiving
$4,000 year-a far smaller than of his
colleagues of greater vogue earning. But with
out undergoing extensive ordeal of preparation
and training for his work. he leaped a
income larger than that enjoyed by any university
professor in the country And he is from being
a leader Of his profession.
Michigan has example in showing that the
college president is worthy of his hire that many
another sister institution might follow to its
profit and 10 the benefit of the cause higher
cation in the United States

All boys and girls who have tied
suet on the bough of an evergreen

peck off bits of IL have noticed that
these trees keep their needles
throughout the year. These needles
are their leaves. No matter how
young your children may be, it is
possible for them 20 learn something
about the interesting family OF pines.
There are three families of pines;
those having three needles. the
leaves growing in "A little bunch;
those having two needles and those
having five. one way that we know
our pines is from this fact, the leaves
grow in punches and these punches
always have a definite number of
needles in them, five, three or two.
The most common pine Of the five
needed family is the white pine
which is found in many sections of
our country. These trees, which
grow with straight trunks are some
times one hundred and fifty feet
high and their branches are covered
with punches of five fine needles, the
sOftest and most delicate OF all the
species. The pitch pine is a we'll
known member Of the three-needled
family. II is a rugged-looking tree
OF from thirty to eighty feet high
with coarse and rfgid needles. The
graceful red pine is generally from
so to 90 feet high and its long
straight needles grow in pairs. There
are many pine children in the three
and two-needled families, but not
many in the five-needled one.
