Music "HowIers."

The following are some plumbers
written by some English schoolboys on
examination in music papers: One
boy, trying to explain the difference
between f and IF wrote: "F means 40,
therefore IF means go" Another boy
stated that he learned five scales and

arpeggio. Another, asked what he
knew of Signor Foil (the opera "star"
who died in 1899, wrote: "Signor Foil
was interned in Italy and had low,
chesty notes, but otherwise he was
man of good character" Other "howl-
ers" were: "Contralto is a low sort Of

MOVED PARISIANS TO FRENZY
Proposal to Slightly Increase Prevail.
ing Height Of Buildings Denounced
as Idea Of Vandai.

An Outburst of Indignation greeted
the recent proposal of M. Frantz-Jour-
dain, which, to relieve the housing
shortage in Paris, would authorize the
owners of buildings on avenues having
a minimum of 20 meters to add an
other floor. This would mean that the
Paris population would at once and at
comparatively low cost obtain fifteen
thousand new places of abode-a safe
estimate, with a reduction of 20 per
cent in cost, since the existing roofs
and supporting construction could still
be used, and the purchase Of building
lots, costs of excavatfng foundations,
ETC., demanded by the most unpreten-
tious of new houses, would be avoided,
remarks ILLUSTRATION, Paris, Grams

Fifteen thousand dwelling places!
The recent census showed us that an
increase of 5000 would relieve the
present shortage. And the suggested
violation of the rule governing our pub
lie ways could be confined to only a
few exterior boulevards. Surely the
beauty of Paris would not be jeopar-
died by such a provision.
M. Frantz-Jourdain, however, barely
had time to finish his explanation.
Newspaper editors, suddenly inspired
with the most overwhelming esthetic
rage, denounced him as a traitor. Ar

midst imposed silence upon him. Hands

Parisians can wait. And most of the
readers of these articles breathe
sigh of relief as though the capital,
threatened by vandals, had narrowly
escaped a terrible danger.

WONDERFUL NEW YORK GIRLS
English Visitor Pays Tribute to Femi-
nine Portion of the Country's
Great Metropolis.

The New York girl is an energetic
worker, and very cheerful person
into the bargain, declares a writer In
the London Daily Express.
The StenOgrapher on her way from
Brooklyn to the fiftieth floor of the
Woolworth building always looks hap
py-just as smiling and charming
as when she is on her way home in
the evening.
Here is the difference between the
ordinary London girl and her opposite
number in New York. Mabel, who
works in the Strand and lives at VIM
bledOn, fades out Of the picture after
her work is done, but Irene, who taps
away downtown" rushes home by
train or subway, gets into her best
time.
Her vitality Is extraordinary. She
never seems tired, and to see a car
riage full of New York girls in the
evening chuckling over Mutt and
Jeff' and the scores of comics which
the evening papers contain is a sight
calculated to give the grumpiest Of us
a more cheerful outlook on life.
She always seemed to me to be
thing for admiration, because New
York Is so big, so utterly beWildering,
and so inhumanly hurried, that q fair
haired slip of a girl, crushed almost
to death in the subway, yet always
'smiling-and always chewing lis
hard person to brighten.
She is American-yOung, hopeful,
and a good thing to have known. +

would do, and in fact better, because
the resulting Offspring are better The
association bulls are of better quality
than the ordinary run of sires private
ly owned, and their daughters are apt
to be better-producing cows.
Even this does not tell the whole
story. After an individually owned
sire has been used for about two years
it is usually necessary to get new
one. In eight years, therefore, these
Pennsylvania farmers, if they owned
their bulls separately, would have to
provide themselves with four times
296 bulls, or 1884; whereas in the bull
associations at the end of two years
they simply move each bull to another
herd. The original SO bulls, if they
all live and do well, can be used for
the whole eight years. There is quite
a difference between the cost Of 93
bulls and that Of 1884, to say nothing
Of the difference in their usefulness
The members of bull associations
sometimes pay less and always re-
ceive more for their money than cow
owners who go it alone.

 Of all the nations involved, it is stated by competent authorities here, Japan probably has most to gain or lose from the barley. Her actual navy is powerful on paper, and while its potential force is not discounted, it is well known that Japan's finances make any naval race a critical prob lem. Thus, if England and the United States can be persuaded into cur tailment, Japan, while not actually having to drop many of her own real ships, will be rid of just so much cost ly competition.
 At the same time Japan, following the diplomatic tactics she used at Versailles, when by constant objec- tions and bickerings she forced con- sessions from the other nations, may be able to wiring official sanction from the same powers of her course in China and Siberia

FOREIGNERS IN EGYPT FEAR BLOODSHED
 MAY COME WHERE NILE FLOWS
By w. H. ATKINS. International News Service Staff Cor.

Alexandria, Egypt, Oct. 17.-For- eign business men in Egypt are suffer- ing somewhat sleepless nights of late as a result of the uncertainty sur rouding the negotiations now taking place in London between the British Foreign Office and the Egyptian dele sation headed by Adly Yegen Pasha, the Prime Minister, a, body opposed by the Nationalists and led by Saad Zaghloul Pasha, a strong advocate of home rule"
 American and other foreign com mercial, banking and shipping firms are watching developments and, while they sympathize, it is said, with the aspirations of the Egyptians for self-government, they do not relish the thought of the possible cessation of courts applying European law which, in the past, has meant secur- ity for their business and protection for their families.
 All Americans in Egypt at present enjoy fredom from taxation, the right to be tried in criminal cases by the American Consular courts and re- course in civil actions to the Interna- tional Mixed courts in which America IS represented ny three American judges. While the American colony in Egypt is small and takes no active part or interest in local politics, it would not agree that the Washington government relinquish any of the rights and privileges its members now enjoy.
 1HeIS are two pdIlISS dltlOnS Ine Egyptians: the Nationalists, headed by Saad Zaghloul, for three years now the leader of the masses and the Gov ernment or Moderate Party, led by Adly Yegen. Zaghloul conducted the first negotiations with Lord Miners Commission. The Foreign Office in London has insisted that the Milner project, which guaranteed certain rights of self-government. be embod jed in a treaty agreed upon by the British and Egyptian governments.
 The Nationansts replied that no ttreaty acceptable to the people would be possible until martial law was abolished, the English Protectorate formally withdrawn, and delegation be elected by the people to negotiate a treaty. A delegation composed of ministers and headed by Adly Yegen. without any representation for Zagh- loul and his followers. was appointed by the Sultan and proceeded to Lon don to arrange the treaty

Washington, Oct IT. - Possibility that the United States will be asked to do most of the actual dtsarming when the nations gather for the dis cussion of that subject in November Is foreseen today by close observers here.
 This forecast is based on the under standing that the basis for such nego- tiationS will be the several nations apparent stragetic requirements, in stead of so-called trading agree ment. Under this latter curtailment might be on ship-for-ship basis, but on the former ground experts see complications arising.
 Supporting their contention that the United States may find most of the disarmfng forced on herself, the observers here point out that both Japan and Great Britain, major par ttctpants in the forthcoming barley, are maritime powers. They depend on the sea for their commercial and national life. Accordingly they will both be likely to object to any great

 More Relics On Hand
 The manuscript and spectacle case are only two of the interesting Roose welt relics now in the possession of the Roosevelt Memorial Association. Others are coming in by every mail, in answer to the appeal of the asso- citation to remember T. R. on his birthday by making some contribu tion to its collection of Roosevelt rel ics. It is planned ultimately to house these relics in the permanent head quarters of the association, which will probably be either in Oyster Bay or Washington. There they will be avail able for future historians and for the inspiration of all who feel inclined to visit this historic spot.
 The manuscript and spectacle case were prersented to the association by Mrs. Roosevelt, who at the same time gave the association 800 photographs of the colonel and his pocket diary of the Spanish American War, which was hitherto unpublished.

by this delegation, and this may mean a renewal of party strife. Should the delegation return from the confer ence dissatisfied, the Egyptian nation again may be united against the Eng nsh and the days of rioting and ter TOT may return. In either case the business community has misgivings, especially as the commercial situation is beginning to have a brighter out lock after two years of bad times.

New York, Oct. 17.-Posterity will have an opportunity to examine the typewriter manuscript and spectacle case which Theodore Roosevelt car ried in his pocket on the night when he was shot in Milwaukee in 1912. Those articles are now in the posses sion of rhe Roosevelt Memorial Asso- ciation No. 1 Madison avenue, New York city, and will be kept for all time as an evidence of Theodore Roosevelt's courage and robust vital ity.
 It will be remembered that on the night when Colonel Roosevelt was shot he had on a heavy military over coat and carried his spectacle case and the 50-page manuscript of the speech which he was to deliver in his right-hand coat pocket: To this cir cumstance the Colonel undoubtedly owed his life, for the bullet, after penetrating the heavy overcoat. plowed through the manuscript and spectacle case and imbedded itself in the ColonePs body just under the fourth rib.

After shooting the mob, who would undoubtedly have killed him had 1t not been for the timely intervention of the man he had tried to assassinate. Don't hurt him!" shouted the Colonel to the mob that was trying to get at the would be assassin; "bring him to me-" Then turning to the detectives who had bounced upon Schrank, he said: 'Of- ffcers, take charge of him and see that there is no violence done him.
