FLAG STAYED Riaht 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 Roumania is 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 car. 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.

Why not print all books in such a
way that every page is right-hand
page? asks DR.. I. Winslow of Boston,
who claims a patent for his concep-
ton of how to do it. He holds that
If 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 he less fatigulng, not only
to the eyes, head and neck, but also
TO the arms and hands.
Mr. Winslow's idea is to print a
book so 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 rlght-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-
ton of a large book correct would re-
quire some nice calculation on the
printers part.

Better Not Change Left.Hander

If a child be naturally left handed,
1t should be allowed TO remain So for
an attempt TO train II to right-hand-
edness may easily result In making it
mentally inferior, Or, H. Griesbach
Emphasizes this in an article in the
Deutsche Medizinische Wochenschrift
tBerlin), explaining that in left-hand-
ed persons the speech center is In the
right hemisphere of the brain instead
of in the left hemisphere, as is the
case In right-handed persons.
The result of persistent efforts to
make them right-handed may be a
speech center that is not predomi-
nantly situated on either side, which
condition Griesbach says interferes
with the differentiation of the hemi-
spheres throughout childhood and
adolescence.
He says that once the unilateral
hemisphere differentiation is com
plete, as it is in adults, a re-education
from left TO right or from right TO
left-handedness will do no harm to
the brain.

CARRANzA SELFISH"
IN STARTING REVOLT
Telegrams Placed Before Senators
Tell of His Disagreement
With .Huerta.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, January "a
Copies of official kilograms purporting
to throw some light on Carranza's re-
fusal to recognize Huerta were placed
in evidence at the last hearing here
today of the Senate subcommittee in
yestigating the Mexican situation.
The correspondence was exchanged at
the time Carranza was governor of
the state of Coahuila.
The correspondence tends to show
it was not until Huerta took Car
rama. then governor of Coahuila, to
task for extorting money from banks
at Saltillo that CarranZa determined
to attempt by revolution the resto-
ration of the constitutional order.
A message to the American State
Denartment from the consular officer
then at Saltillo was that Carranza had
decided to recognize the new govern
ment. but the correspondence indi-
Gated that it was sent without the
knowledge of the controversy begin
ming. between CarranZa and Huerta.
The dispute was concerning the
maintenance of state troops. The for
mer government had appropriated an
nualIy a certain amount of money for
that purpose and regarding the con-
tinuance of the plan it is known Ma
daro and CarranZa had disagreed.
The dispute was revived after Huerta
assumed control Of the government.
The committee left here tonight for
r, Paso. where the hearings will be
resumed the latter part of next week.
