PUT TALENT TO LITTLE USE
Horace WaIpoIe Chiefly Famous for
Making Collection Of Curious and

The death OF Horace Walpole on
March 2. 1897. calls to mind collec-
ton of curious and valuable objects
which he had collected in his famous
country seat, Strawberry Hill.
One article of great elegance was
a silver bell which had been made by
Benvenuto Cellini for Pope Clement
VII, with rich display of carving on
the exterior representing serpents,
nies. grasshoppers and other objec-
honable Insects. the purpose Of the
bell having been to serve a papal ours

BUSINESS MEN WOULD
RESTRICT ARMAMENTS

There is a growing sentiment for
disarmament among the business men
of the world. In Japan the Business
Mems Association is arranging a cam
paign in support of Mr.. Ozaki, a pow
erful liberal, who is vigorously advo-
eating the reduc tion of armaments.
1t is realized that readjustment of
the finances of the country is one of
the first needs of Japan and that this
is closely bound up with the expendi-
lures for military and naval purposes.
A short time ago 1000 post cards
were sent to business men throughout
Japan asking for an expression of
opinion on the subject of disarma-
ment. Two thousand of the 2,O6O re-
plies received strongly favored re-
duction of the naval building pro-
gram. On the 11th of March the Dai
Nippon Trade Union Association (the
Business Mems Association) held
conference of its members for the ex-
press purpose of discussing the re-
striction of ornaments.
Mr.. Muto, chairman of the associa-
tion is quoted as follows: "If the
present condition is left to develop
as it pleases, defense budgets will
gradually increase until at last they
exceed the financial capacity of the
country. " " At time unlike
the days of the economic boom, when
all enterprises are seriously depressed,
with all indications of becoming
worse, it is the height of imprudence
to advocate an armed peace and put
the nation under the screw of useless
competition in ornaments"
In this country, also, business men
who favor reduction in armaments
are making the sentiment known. Ac-
cording to the Army and Navy Jour
nal Senators and Representatives who
have been back home are talking
about Further need for reducing ma
tional expenditures" and are issuing
statements concerning the "Wide-
spread demand for disarmament" A
strong advocate of reduction is SEN
ator Penrose, chairmna of the SEN
ate Finance Committee, who would
place the army and navy appropria-
tions at the lowest minimum consist
ent with maintaining organization.

CRIME WAVE is FILL
ING PENITENTIARY

The count of prisoners at the PEN
itentiary Monday afternoon was 621,
an increase of about 80 during the
last month. New prisoners are com
ing in about twice as fast at present
as they are being discharged by pa
role and expiration of sentence. Dur
ing the month of January, 1S convicts
were released from imprisonment
here, 16 of them under parole and
two under expiration of sentence.
Thus far this month IL have been pa
rolled and two discharged from the
institution. Prisoners will be re-
ceived at the penitentiary quite rap
idly from now until the courts Of the
state recess for the summer vacation
Warden lyman stated on Monday
that the indications were that there
would be 700 prisoners in the peni-
tentiary before the end of the year,
and 800 before the close of 1922 if
the present rate of new arrivals was
maintained, which he expected would
be the case The growing number Of
convicts is attributed to the wave of
crime sweeping over the country and
reac tion resulting from the war
From the time of the enactment of
the state prohibition law until with
in recent months, there was gradual
decline in the number of convicts in
the Canon City penitentiary. The up
ward tendency now manifesting itself
is due to other causes; largely from
robberes and hold-ups, which has
lately become fashionable with crimi-
nails and crooks.-Salida Record.

Benefit In Recreation.

All recreations, II followed moder-
ately, are good for the brain and help
to stimulate thought.
1t is important to learn all we can
about the world we are living in, for
upon our ability to do something for
our fellow Inhabitants depends the re-
wards that we shall gain.
1t isn't safe to be movie fan or
a theater fan or golf fan or a fan
at anything but our particular yoca-
tion. But 1t is useful to get away
from ourselves and our work, now
and then and to think about what
others are doing.-John Blake In Chi

THE LAKE OF ASPHALT

The far-famed asphalt lake of Trim
idad is not much to look at. 1t is a
slightly concave, black patch of
hundred acres with shores as definite
as those of lake of water. 1t is sur
rounded by scanty brush and low,
thirsty palms. To the left the black
towers of half dozen oil wells break
the otherwise blank horizon. A trade
wind almost constantly sweeps across
the field
On the surface of the lake several
groups of negroes work leisurely. One
man in each group turns up with
every blow of his pick black, porous
lump of pitch the size of a market
basket; the others bear the Jumps
away on their heads to small cars that
run on narrow tracks. Other men
push the loaded cars to the factory"
The pitch is so light that the largest
lump is scarcely burden. The men
are paid eighty cents day of ten
hours-a sum that, as it seems big
to them and small to their employers,
satisfies everyone.
This reservoir of pitch is appar-
emily inexhaustible The holes dug
during the day fill imperceptibly and
are generally gone by morning; the
deepest one ever excavated disap-
peared in three days. Only small
part of the field is worked; it could
easily keep all the ships of the world
busy.
The lake, which, says Mr.. Harry A.
Franck in Roaming Through the West
Indies, has faint smell of sulphur,
is soft underfoot like tar sidewalk
in midsummer. If man stands still
on it for minute or two, the heels
of his shoes will sink out of sight. In
few places it is not solid enough to
sustain mans weight, though chill
aren and the barefooted workmen
scamper across it anywhere.
