A NEW ADMINISTRATIONS

Formerly when new administra-
ton bagan to administer the gov.
crnment at Washington. most OF
the people belonging to the oppo.
site party ut once proceeded to con.
demn all its acts. The old timers
could see no good in the ideas of
their opponents. and would make
wholesale attacks on their motives
Nowadaysa a great body OF people.
cheefully give recognition to good
work political opponents. Every
new administration within recent
years has tasted an atmosphere
OF political good feeling, and Mr.
Harding's will be no exception.
Yet party spirit will never die out
It grows out of the different theor-
les that people entertain in regard
to economic and governmental
methods. n everybody thought a.
like, there would be no progress.
But people should recognize that
their own opinions are always fall
ible, and they should be willing to
acknowledge that their opponents
are as honest as themselves.

The country has been In q some.
what Q,,catfoning mood in regard
to Warren Harding. He never had
SO conspicuous a personality ~
soma Most politicians are self
confident and assertive They take
front place In the spotlight. with
confidence In their ability to solve
oil questions Az consequence
they involve themselves and the
people in endless difficulties
President Harding is a different
type. He is modest sort Of per
son and undefvalnes rather than
overestimates his owf, powers. In.
stead of going ahead with bold as.
snranee to select his cabinet and
outline his policies. he hastened to
call into consultation group OF the
eonntry's ablest tnen. His critics
called this weakness and they said
it meant he had no ability and
policy of his own.
But now the result begins to ap-
pear Its first effect is to give him
probably the ablcst cabinet that
has been assembled in this genera
tion. 1t is u cabinet of big men and
nearly every one OF them is of presi,
dental size himself With such a
group in charge, an administration
can hardly help being a success.
It faces the most difficult prob
lens that have been confronted
since the Civil War But some Of
the keenest intelleets OF the nation
are at the presidents elbow. Ifhu-
man brains can solve these ones
tiou they are going to do 1t.
The first test Of superior ability
is this power to size up human ma
ture and make wise selection OF
slbortIinates The head Of big
business does not do much else. He
appoints brainy men to help him.
and then let's them go ahead and
they win success for him A sinai.
lr man would work three times as
hard. and then fail because he had
the wrong heads of departments
Mr.. Harding has proved that he
knows how to make big decisions

THE GARDENLEss HOME

Newly arrived aliens often ex-
press surprise in their broken Ian
guage, at IA country where cOmpar.
atively few people cultivate back
yard garden. They speak OF the
Industrious habits that used to pre-.
vail in the old world, where people
always expected to raise their own
vegetables if they had scrap OF
land to do it on.
This country, in its prodigal liv-
ing, has largely got beyond the
garden habit. Good worg at food
raising was done during the war,
but the large majority of the no.
vice gardeners in Holly had given
up the practice by last summer.
Meanwhile many people loaf away
their spare hours at their favorite
hang.outs, and declaim about the
cost OF food and maintain they are
mot getting living wge. Some of
them say they are too tired after
their days work to WELD the hoe.

 "The most striking feature was thd great length of the vocal tube; tn distance from the teeth 10 the voc } cords, in Carusa, was at least half inch more than in any other greal tenor l have examined.
 "A second point was the length ot, the vocal cords, on whose length, breadth and thickness the pitch of the voice largely depends. The aver are length of the relaxed vocal cords, in a man is IS miilimeters tabout 4 in.). Caruso's vocal cords were 1-6 in. longer than those of any other tenor 1 have seen.
 The capacity for vibration of the vocal cords is another most important factor, for the higher the note the more rapid must be the vibration Caruso when singing his wonderful chest c sharp reached the phenomenal vibration for a man of 550 per sec ond.
 "Carusos whole body seemed to have more average resonance and one of the great secrets of his wonderful voice was the formation of the epi- glottis. which was thick at the base, as in bassos, but exquisitely fine and delicate at the free end The power of his voice was so great that he often fractured glasses in nay consult ing room by singing their fundamen- tai notes at the orificep

Wet Gold" unfolds one of the most fascinating stories of adventure ever photographed It shows how d sub marine actually operates under water both on the outside and on the in side. It is seen rising to the surface firing torpedo. Divers without any air line (the new divers hermets carry an hours oxygena supply) are seen to walk out into the ocean until they disappear from view and then continue alone on the floor of the sea to the submerged submarine. They enter the submarine through a trap door in the bottom, admitting them into an air chamber. The door is closed and then they climb up into the main body of the submarine.
 The marvellous under water scenes of Wet Gold" were taken under the supervision of ]. Ernest Williamson, who wrote the story of this exciting drama. The camera is operated from the base of long tube that is lowered into the water, with strong lights playing upon the scenes of action. The photography is as clear as though it were taken on the sur face under the suns rays. and not one atom of the swirling. animated life of the underwater world has been missed.
 The divers walk slowly against the terrific pressure in their grotesque helmets and suits, and go through their parts on the bed of the ocean as naturally as though they were upon the stage II is said that every one who has witnessed this remark able production has been held spell bound by the sheer wonders of the production.
