An Pages at Right.

Why not print all books in such a
way that every page IS right-hand
page? asks DR.. l. Winslow of Boston
who claims a patent for his concep-
ton Of how to do it. He holds that
II one has to read pages on one side
Of book only this will be held more
easily, the eyes will not wander, there
will be no necessity for changing the
position Of the head and neck. Thus
reading, especially Of big heavy vol
umes, will be less fatiguing, not only
to the eyes, head and neck, but also
to the arms and hands.
Mr.. Winslow's idea is to print a
book 50 that you read straight ahead
from right-hand page to right-hand
page, these being numbered consecu-
lively; then, when you have read
through to the last right hand page
you turn the book upside down and
continue reading as before, what in
ordinary books are left hand pages
now being right-hand pages. This, Of
course, involves printing all left hand
pages upside down and numbering
them consecutively from the back Of
the book. This would easily be ar
ranged by the printer in laying out
the forms, though to get the pagina-
tion Of a large book correct would re-
quire some nice calculation on the
printers part.

cuItivatino Edible Bamboo.

The japanese edible bamboo has
been successfully introduced into the
southern portion of the United States
by the department of agriculture. Sew
eral plantations are now established in
Georgia and Louisiana. POpulariza-
ton Of the bamboo will furnish large
homegrown supplies Of this useful
timber required by our manufacturing
Industries. The giant grass grows a
foot a day, and its 5QfOot stalk is
we'll adapted for making frames, furni.
ture, ladders, trellises and barrel
hoops. The new sprout is a delicious
vegetable and resembles asparagus in
flavor and in the manner Of its prep
aration. There is an increasing de-
mand in America for the bamboo tim
Der, and also for the edible bamboo
shoot.

DRAW ON AFRICAN FORESTS
Plan on Foot to Increase Worlds Sup.
ply Of Wood From That Source
Going Forward.

A reinforcement for the world de-
mand for lumber is preparing in Brit
ish East Africa, where there are be-
tween 100000 and 100000 acres Of
woodland to draw upon, and a new in
dustry, very infantile at present, is ex-
pected to grow so rapidly that the gov
eminent is now considering plans to
improve the harbor facilities for ex-
porting the forests. The best wood is
suitable for wheel makers and wagon
builders and the making Of wood block
paving, railway sleepers, bridges, OK
Jokes, and ak, pick and tool handles.
It also makes good flooring and lining
boards. The builder, however, must
needs be Of patient disposition If he
postpones building until these British
East African woods are available.
Meantime there are new sounds in
some Of the African forests, the
rhythm of the woodsman's ak, the buzz
Of the sawmill, and the putting Of I'M
dersiZed locomotives on the narrow
gauge tracks that are penetrating
from the main line Of railway into the
woodlands. And many a workman, no
doubt, will some day work with tools
whose handles grew in an African for
est.

R. l. P.

WYE still hear Of the ''active part"
w the President is to take in the
campaign. Activity is something which
Mr.. Wilson has not INDUCED in for q
wear. His nearest approach to action
was when he entered his carriage unas-
sisted, after an inclined runway had
been built from the White House en-
trance to the level of the vehicles step.
Why continue the CHASTITY farce longer.
Everybody knows Mr.. Wilson is prac-
tically an invalid, able to give little at
tention to affairs of state, or receive
citizens who wish to discuss national
business with him. Nobody will see
him during the campaign, unless it be
to glimpse him reclining in his automo-
bile as he takes his rare rides about
Washington. In decency he ought to
be allowed to rest in peace, and not be
referred to every day as about to take
an active part in the campaign.

Flao STAYED Rjoht There,

Court etiquette among the reigning
families Of Europe is not to be lightly
considered, and so the story of how
the stubbOrnness Of an American
doughboy upset an age-old rule Of
the royal house Of R0umania IL Of
more than usual interest.
Some time ago Queen Marie Of Rou-
mania accepted an invitation to ride
In an American official army car.
When the car arrived at the palace
gates, the queen at once noted that an
American flag flew from the radiator.
Before entering the car she requested
that the flag be removed, explaining
that royal etiquette prevented her rid
ing behind any flag save that Of her
own country.
Opposition arose Immediately. The
chauffeur, an American doughboy, an
nounced politely. but none the less
firmly, that when the flag came down
he came down also, and some one else
would have to drive the ear. The
queen, who, by the way, is a grand
daughter Of the late Queen Victoria
OF England. graciously conceded the
point and the party proceeded on their
way.

Ancient Chinese Art.

Attention has been called to a not
able addition to the treasures Of the
British museum, in the shape Of a
colossal Chinese figure in wood. It is
sculptured from cleverly jointed
blocks, and represents a figure, in a
sitting posture, five feet, eight inches
in height. It is the first specimen Of
its kind to be added to the national
collections in Great Britain; the date
is thought to be from 1926 to 1910 A.
D. It Is to be hoped that the interest
aroused will lead to further study Of
this branch Of art. It is pointed out
by writer in the Burlington Maya
zine of Art that in Cleveland, o., q
competent scholar in connection with
the museum is sent to China to study
the art and collect suitable art treas
ures on its behalf.

SERvAB0 FIDEM

THE way in which the women Of the

who voted against suffrage in the Sen
ate or House shows that they are broad
minded enough to Judge public official
from his whole record while in office,
and are not forming their opinions from
consideration of an isolated vote that
he may have cast. The faith in women,
which the Republicans Of Congress and

slowed suffrage upon them, was not
misplaced.

JOURNAL PRINTED BY INDIANS
Cherokees Once Had Newspaper
That May Be Said to Have Be-
come Z Power.

The Cherokee Indians, when still oc-
cupying what now Is the state Of Geor-
gia, published a newspaper in their ma
tive tongue in 1928. One Of their tribe,
Sequoyah by name, In 1923 designed
SO characters that were to represent
the Cherokee language in print. The
national committee and council Of the
tribe meeting at New Echota, the cap
ital Of their nation, in 1925, voted q
fund to buy type, press and the nee
essary equipment. The paper was
known as the Cherokee Phoenix. Half
Of it.was printed in Cherokee and half
in English. Hundreds Of full-blood In
dams who otherwise would have re-
NAMED illiterate all their lives, were
thus enabled to read after mastering
the alphabet. These Indians became
subscribers Of the paper, as did men,
bers Of neighboring states, and the pa
per became power.
The Phoenix was known in Eu-
rope" and among other famous pa
pers that asked. to be placed on the
exchange list was the London Times.
The paper was in operation for about
five years, and was harassed when the
movement having for its object the re-
mOval Of the Cherokee Indians west
ward was at its height. It suspended
publication when the Georgia state
legislature forbid q white man to live
among the CherOkees.
