m UT for the smiles of his bloom
N ing Dolly, Madisons administra-
ton would be q desert without
an oasis, over whose dreary expanse
the weary biographer would wander
athlrst for human anecdote. Her
bubbling spirits relieved the austerity
of Jeffersonian simplicity and won her
a popularity that has been equaled, if
at all. among the mistresses of the
White House only by Mrs. Cleveland.
The regal Dolly signalzed the open
ing Of her reign by holding the first
inaugural ball, where she radiated in
a gown of buff velvet, with Partisan
turban and bird of Paradise plumes
which had run the British blockade on
its journey to her from Paris. Wash
ington Irving, who was whirled from
New York to another of her functions
in ''only SO hours" as he said in
amazement, has left us a picture of her
as fine, portly, buxom dame" with
smile and pleasant word for every
body" But "as to Jenny Madison
ah, poor JENNY He is a withered
little apple-John."
Unless Grant must be excepted,
Madison is the only President who
found the Presidency an anticlimax to
his career. One of the really great
law-givers of the Nation, he was with
out executive force, that is to say,
without a knack for choosing other
men and getting them to do his work.
With a weak Cabinet, this gentle,
sweet tempered, peace loving scholar
found himself adrift on the turbid
sea of the great Napoleonic wars.
Perhaps it was no longer possible to
keep US out of war when at last the
United States was the only neutral
| left in the civilized world. But GER
tainly it was no time for a fair wea-
Their sailor.
After 20 years of kicking and cuff
ing from both sides in the European
conflict, bullied by England and lied
to by Napoleon, the country was sore
all over when the ''warhawks" of
Congress under the youthful Henry
Clay, seized the tiller of the ship of
state from MadisOn's irresolute hand
and recklessly pointed the vessel
straight into the teeth of the storm.
The seaboard East was more for peace
and at that time the militant section
was the new West, where the Ten
nesseeans and Kentuckians, Indiana
ians and Ohioans were Justify shouting
rash counsels. Madison consented, as
he said, to throw forward the flag of
the country, sure that the people
would press onward and defend it."
Without competent civilian military
| leaders, without financial credit, with
out war equipment, the people could
not press onward, as any history OF
| the dismal war of 1912 will tell you
Even the capital was left undefended
and Madison, Gin a little round hat
with a big cockade" ran about in help
less bewilderment as the British
marched upon Washington.
| With the invaders entering at one
side of the defenseless town, the
President fled at the other. AS he

up behind him, he flew the faster and

The soviet was taking steps toward
lettering education through the cree
ton Of about 10000 schools, when

action is result of the recent opinion
that ignorance does not make people
better to rule. I do not know whether
these schools are all public. Science
will not hurt Russia; many people are
finally coming to believe. l dare say
more educational work is going on in
Russia today than ever before in her
history. This is an excellent sign. In
Petrograd, which is the intellectual
center of the country, university of

GARY HOLDS DOWN
STEEL PRICES TO
HELP CUT H. C.L.

NEW YORK, April 20.-Elbert H.
Gary, chairman of the United States
Steel Corporation, informed the stock
holders at the annual meeting In Ho-
boken Monday that the corporation
was holding down the prices of its pro-
ducts because of the high cost OF
living.
Referring to inquiries made by
stockholders as to why in view Of the
great demand, the cost of production
and prices received by other manu-.
facturers, the prices of the corpora
tons products had not been raised
above those fixed by agreement be-
tween the industrial board and steel
manufacturers on March 81, 1919, he
said:
'It seems to us the problem Of high
cost Of living Is of convincing import
ance When the increasing tendency
Is to insist upon payment of unreason.
able sums for every commodity and
for every service, so that the vicious
whirl of advancement seems to be un-
ending, we think there is a moral obli-
CATION on the part of every one to use
all reasonable efforts. to check this
carnival of greed and imposition, even
at some sacrifice.
mere Is Il elUNlH ulSSSpdlSy w
tween different individuals and inter-
ests. The man with fixed income Is
more and more disadvantaged and he
IL helpless. He can not increase his
income to meet the increased cost Of
living. Therefore, it should be the eff
fort of all to establish and maintain a
reasonable basis of prices, certainly to
prevent further increases; otherwise
the government, from the standpoint
of protection of a part of the public,
must Interfere
Keeps General Price Down.
The attitude Of the corporation on
prices Mr.. Gary added, has had con-
siderable influence in preventing in
creases in the general selling prices of
steel, although some (manufacturers)
have made them, due, as they claim,
to increased cost of manufacture.
Moreover, 1t is believed that in view
of all the conditions prevailing, the
selling prices of most of the diversified
products of the corporation, for the
present at least, are high enough,
though it is pertinent to say that when
the actual value of the properties and
volume of business Of the corporation
are considered, the net return is at
least moderate"

The age Of the. famous cedars Of
Lebanon has long been: ins dispute. To-
cal. tradition, says they were planted
BY God at the creation Of the world
and that they will endure until the last 8
day. '~ - -
That there was a great grove Of
cedars on Lebanon in the days Of King
Solomon there can be no doubt. as 1t
was from them that he ebtaihed the
wood for building the temple. Whether
any of those now standing were there
in Solomon's time IL a matter OF specu-
latiOn. - -. ! .,,.:,..... -
At the present dry the grove con-
tatns $50 trees. Of which only Is are Of
large size. 1t is ihlfsse center Of a great
basin In the mountains, 5000 feet
above the sea. A Maronite chapel is
on q mound in the. shade Of the trees,
and here mass Is said and on the feast
Of the TRANSPORTATION great festival
takes place.
Several efforts to calculate the age
of the cedars now standing have been
made by counting the rings In the
heart wood Of those that have fallen.
These estimates, according to Prof.
A. Henry of the Royal College Of Sci
ences for Ireland; IN an article in Coun:
try Life, vary from 2,2sO years to 1900
years, although it. may be that they are
Of slower growth than the specimens

NEAR AGREEMENT
ON ARMY MEASURE
Only Matter of Universal Military
Training Keeps Measure in
Committee.

Washington, Jan 30--Agreement
was reached yesterday by the House
military committee on practically all
principles of army reorganization ex-
cept that dealing with universal mill
tary training
Provision was made for an army air
service despite the movement for uni
fled government air control under a
separate department whose head would
have the status of a cabinet officer.
Provision also was made for mainte-
nance OF the chemical warfare service
as separate corps for experimental
purposes, and for the construction and
transportation corps, but these will be
part of the quartermaster depart
ment.
Another decision of the committee
was to leave the details Of army organ
ization to the discretion of the war de.
partment.
