WHAT KIND IS
 PRESIDENTS NOSE?

What kind of nose has President Wilson got? The question may sound mira dig, but it became a. leading question to Paul w. Bartlett, the well-known sculptor, who had the job of making a bas-relief of Wilson for the base of the Knights of Colun- bus Lafayette Statue. The bas-relief, one of four, shows President Wilson declaring war at the capitol. As MT. Wilson's illness prevented him from personally posing for the bas-relief, Bartlett had to rely upon photo graphs for his likeness.
 Its a general impression" he said, ''that the President has a type of face similar to that of thousands of his fellow citizens. I find that he has a very distinctive nose. It has some thing of the Greek and Roman in it what you might call Gracco- Roman nose. That is the type of nose I am giving him in the bas-re- lief"
 MT. Bartlett has finished the four bas-reliefs for the pedestal of the K. of c. statue. They have been done in Tennessee marble.

ADULTERATION COSTLY.

Austin, Tex. June 12-Adulteration of linseed oil with from 5 to 56 per cent of kerosene is costing users of paint products in Texas a considera- ble sum annually, according to R. H. Hoffman, Jr., head of the State Pure Food and Drug department
 Investigations by his department, he said, revealed that this adultera- tion practice is widespread and deal CTS who buy kerosene for 20 cents a gallon and mix it with linseed oil which they sell around $3 a gallon are deriving a large illegitimate profit. The damage to the buyer comes from the fact. MT. Hoffman said, that lin- seed oil is used in vanished and paints on account of its rapid drying qualities, and the mineral oils fixed with it are worthless as paint ma terials
 He announced that vigorous means will be adopted to stop this practice.

Honolulu, T. H.. June 12-The Ha- waiian department of the American Legion has aimed a blow at dual citi- zenship among the Japanese of the islands by launching a campaign for the organization of society of American Citizens of Japanese An cestry, the keynote of. whose pledge will be disavowal of Japanese dual citizenship laws.
 The proposed constitution provides that any American citizen of Japan ese parentage over the age of 16 years may join the society after he has signed the pledge declaring his whole-hearted allegiance to the United States.

WORK 16 HOURS A DAY.

San Francisco. June 12 - Uncle Sam's moneymakers in the San Fran cisco mint are working 16 hours a day trying to keep abreast of the de- mand for silver coinage, which seems to be preferred everywhere now to paper money. This preference, it is said, is particularly noticeable in Philadelphia and San Francisco.
