BOY MEMBERS OF COMMONS
Lawmakers Of Extreme Youth Who
Have Been Prominent In the
British Parliament.

The appearance Of children In Brit
ish elections Is not novelty, but they
have been accustomed hitherto to take
more or less passive part, being
driven round the constituency accom-
panied by placards on lines Of "Please
vote for my daddy" and similar ap-
peals to the supposed sentimental side
Of the electorate. Canning always
kept an eye on the sixth form at Elton,
In the hope of finding possible recruits
for the commons, but 1t Is not record
ed he thought 1t necessary to begin
this watchfulhess when the senators
Of tomorrow" were only thirteen. And
yet the thing Is more or less In ac-
cord with the spirit Of the age. We
have poets" six years old, academy
artists in their early teens, novelists
of the nursery. and sonneteers Of the
schoolroom, so why not have political
orators Of the fourth form?
Nay, it would be possible even to re-
port cases when young persons not
much more than thirteen years old
sat, spoke and voted In the house of
commons. The "younkers," as the Puri-
tans called them, found little difficulty
In evading the age limit. A Lord Tor
rington Is said to have taken part in
debate when only fourteen, and Her
bert was member at fifteen. In the
tenth year Of James rs reign there
were 40 members not more than
twenty years old. and some hardly
sixteen. Waller sat before he was
seventeen, and Charles James Fox at
nineteen, though Fox was finished
man Of the world at that age.-Man-

NOW DEMAND PIPE POCKETS
Philadelphia Newspaper Declares ups
to.pate Women Insist on Them In
Their Garments.

New suits will have to possess q
novel feature If up-to-date young wom-
en- are to be satisfied. The pipe pocket
should be considered in creating all
feminine garments Of the future.
Perhaps 1t is the effect Of gaining
the suffrage, so that they feel they
must 20 on to wider, freer conquests,
but, anyway, certain it Is that the girls
are getting tired Of cigarettes and are
turning to good old-fashioned corncob
pipes as a solace for the languors OF
modernity. says the Philadelphia
Ledger.
Some time ago several young women
in New York decided that cigarettes
were too expensive, and that they
ought to join the great world move
ment for financial conservation by sub
stituting pipes for the more delicate
10y. But at that time ordinary pipes
were not tried, usually small, ladylike
ones being selected.
Now, however, substantial corncobs,
cheap. picturesque and nonbreakaDie'
are the favorites.
"The corncob pipe Is unpretsntious,
respectable and conservative" one OF
the corncob devotees explained. Many
of our great-grandmothers smoked
corncobs. Especially Is this true OF
those Of us who had southern great
grandmothers. There II something
like Bolshevih about cigarette, but
we feel that in smoking corncobs we
will be back on the sure foundation OF
good old-fashioned Amercanism. The
people who are always lamenting the
good old days will be pleased. and Will
feel that the country is saved"

HARBoR FOR. SHIPS OF AIR
Artist Has Given us Picture OF Prod
ability Of tho Not Far Distant
Future.

Something very unique in the way
Of a terminal station for future travel
ing is suggested In Flight. 1t Is q
picture by Roderic Hill showing an
aerial terminus, or the white Moon
line" raised aloft over seaport. 1t
ls not q fat airdrome situated on the
surface, but q huge circular struc-
ture which towers far above the tall
est buildings Of the city. On Its top
most circumference, platforms swing.
ing on circular rallied bed are carried
by two rotating arms on which aero
liners light and from which they take
of. On the left Of this great tower
Is a passenger elevator with two cars
carrying passengers to and from the
embarklng level. Inside this structure
is a huge elevator for lowering the
aero liners for reftting and repair
and In It's mysterious depths we can
picture workshops LIT by Pickering arc
lamps, where hundreds Of mechanics
work busily day and night. With such
termini as this, the future Industrial
magnates will be looking up at their
captains as each In his respective craft
draws near to exchange or deposit the
cargo In his care, and then It will be
that the dreamer Of today will behold
the fulfllment Of his vision.

NEBuLA SHOWS SOME SPEED
Body Flying Through the Heavens at
Rate Of Two Thousand kilome-
ters q Second.

The Lowell observatory in Flagstaff,
Ariz., has held a stop watch on the
fastest moving object ever discovered
The spiral nebula catalogued as No.
5S4, Dreyer's catalogue, constellation
Of Cetus, is flying through the heavens
at the rate Of 1000 kilometers sec
ond. An airplane going at this speed
would circumnavigate the earth at the
equator in less than half a minute.
The spiral nebulae are the swiftest
moving objects In the known universe.
but no one has ever before been de-
tected shooting through the heavens
at much more than half the speed Of
584Dreyer-C Cetus. Most stars move
slowly and sedately along at about
100 kilometers second. What is per-
haps rather humiliating to US earth
dwellers Is the fact that 5S4-Dreyer-
Cetus is moving In the direction away
from our own earth and sun.
OF course the speed Of light, which
is nearly 100000 kilometers second,
makes the speed Of the spiral nebulae
seem Insignificant But light does not
have to "carry weight" whereas the
nebulae, though perhaps an extremely
diffuse and tenuous form Of matter,
are none the less material objects OF
quite considerable ponderosity. So.
until we get later news from the celes-
tial racetracks, we can state that the
spiral nebula in Cetus is the speedi-
est thing coming down the celestial
pike."-New York Independent

u os.. Lincoln a Mysterx.

An oil painting Of Abraham Lincoln,
% by 86 inches In size, rescued sew
era years ago from pile Of supposed
ly worthless furniture taken from the
old Red Hon inn In Philadelphia, to-
day forms a mystery over which there
Ia much discussion by artists. After
its rescue the picture was hung IN q
Philadelphia residence where paint
er, Baruch NJ. Feldman, happened upon
It and purchased It He began the
work Of reclaiming 1t, and after the
dirt had been removed the portrait
stood out clear and well defined In all
Its features
Artists who have seen the picture
are agreed that the character OF the
portrait Is such that the suggestion
that It might have been painted from
q photograph is rendered absurd. Who
painted the 'lost" Lincoln is mys-
terry, and there is no mark OF sign to
give those studying 1t a clew that
might lead to It's Identification.

Coral Atoll0.

According to the investigations Of
Seurat among the Pacific islands. there
ls slow elevation going on there,
which, by lifting the reefs gradually
above the waves, preserves them from
erosion at the top, and enables vegeta-
ton and certain animal forms Of q
terrestrial character to exist there.
This Is quite in opposition to Dar-
wins idea that the atolls were formed
by the gradual submergence Of small
islands, that the coral insects built up
encircling reefs as the islands sank.
Seurat shows that the elevation Of
the islands Is q general phenomenon,
but variable In amount, some islands,
like Aukena, In the Gambler archipela-
60, rising rapidly, and others very
slowly. The fora and the fauna
Of these islands are confined to very
few species, although seen from q dis
tafce, some Of them appear to be very
rich In Observation-Disclosures Science

The Dudley Farm.

Travelling through East Oxford one
can but observe large two story house
with fiat hip roof, to which has been
added within few years wide verauda
extending around 1t on three sides. 1t
stands In one corner where three roads
come together at right angles. 1t Is such
a house as our ancestors liked to build
when the years of the nineteenth century
were In their infancy, and that was just
about the time this particular house was
built.
The road passing before this house Is
the ancient county thoroughfare over
which the old yellow stage coaches ran
before they had Pullman cars or limou-
sines. This house was not built for farm
purposes primarily, but as "tarvern. I"
The first post offices in this Vicinity were
established in these same tender years OF
the nineteenth century, and the stage
coach did not run until there were post
offices to run to. In fact the coaches did
not run for some years after the Offices
were established, for the first mails we're
carried on horse back. 1t was not until
1912 that the first coaches were put on.
There were and now are some steep hills
on either side of this old "taryeru" and
tradition says, the drivesr used to blow
horn on these hills to notify the landlord
they were coming, so he could have food
and drink prepared for the passengers,-
especially drink. Some seventy years
ago the railroad was built through the
nearby valley, and that put an end to the
stage coach and the road house.
OF course there was land around these
buildings, which was cleared. The
stumps were uprooted, the rocks rolled
into long lines Of stone wall, and the
plow and harrow smoothed the long
ridges into level fields, to smile With
harvests of various kinds.
The land is rich. Almost any kind OF
product can be raised; and like the other
farms round about, apples is the special
crop.
At first they were just apples-tart
apples-good for mince pies and vinegar.
There was q state between the apples
and the vinegar-the juice OF the apple
mixed with ground trypetas-that was
once held in high repute, and that prod
uct was the principal one made from
these early apples; but there came .
time when blooded apples were as de-
sirable as blooded cattle, and this farm
was one of the first to introduce choice
varieties.
Samuel o. Dudley is the present pro-
prietor OF this farm, and his father, Ma
than Dudley, carried on these acres be,
fore him. The latter was the one who
frat became inter ested in what the Bur-
banks of his day could originate In the
fruit line. He bought and set out trees
when they were rarities. He also grafted
the new varieties onto native STOCK,
which sprang up almost spontaneously
In field and pasture.
This was away back In 1870 or tnere'
abouts. Modern apples and apple rails
| ing dates from about that time, and as
has been said before, the elder Mr.. Dud.
| lev was q pioneer In this genealogical
rovolution and industry.
