Lotus Eaters"

Few flowers have been more identi-
fed with the worlds history than the
mysterious lotus of Egypt. The phrase
"lOtus eaters" is common one in lit
erature, and is used to describe those
who live in a dream world The food
made from the dried seeds of the
Egyptian variety seems to have had
an effect similar to various opium
products. and once in the clutch Of the
drug the. lotus eaters forgot both past
and family, and went incoming about,
oblivious of demands made by society,
kin, or even their own physical wants.

Mosquitoes Dislike swamns.

Recent experiments prove that, con-
trary to the general belief, mosquitoes
do not thrive and multiply in foul,
stagnant water. In fact mosquito lar
vac actually lose vigor and die when
surrounded by decomposed vegetation.
Whether this is due to bacterial ac-
ton on the larvae or to an excess of
injurious gas due to the decomposition
has not been ascertained. At any
rate, swamps are not guilty of encour-
aging mosquitoes. and clearing these
swamps does harm.-Popular Sci
ence Monthly.

MAKE PROFITEERS
PAY YANKS' BONUS,
Jim REED DEMANDS
Senator Proposes to Re
vive Tax on Excess
Gains.

Payment of the soldier bonus by
the war profiteers was demanded in
the Senate last night by Senator
Reed. of Missouri.
Mr.. Reeds speech brought to a
dramatic close a day of little &C.
complishment in the cons Iteration
of the pending compromise tax bill,
to which he had offered the bonus
bill as an amendment. His amend
ment provides for the restoration OF
the excess profits tax. estimated to
raise $3.50, 900. 900, to create a fund
for the payment of the bonus.
Threats of Republican leaders to
ts. BILE the proposal and thus cut of
debats were not carried out. Action
on the amendment was deferred
ustil tomorrow.
Restore the excess profits" Mr..
Reed demanded, land take enough
from the profiteers who grew fat on
profits while the boys were dying
on the battlefield and give the SOL
diers this adjusted compensation.
That will not take one penny from
the ordinary man nor bankrupt the
government. as President Harding
and those who follow him seem to
fear"
Reed charged that in Harding's
letter to Senator Frelinghuysen, of
New Jersey, urging delay In the
passage Of the bonus bill. "the Presi-
dent took the position of the GENTLE
men who not only wish TO postpone
indefinitely its passage but to kill
the bonus"

Connection Is Made Between

The American navy's powerful ra-

learned yesterday. has been In d.
rect communication with Japan, ex-
changing wireless signals with the
powerful Japanese station At lwaki'
1900 miles distant.
Listening In for reports from San
Diego, the navy's station on the Pa
cific Coast, an operator at a desk
in the Navy Department here heard
a call he at first thought was the
one he had been waiting for. Tha
signal was faint and the instrument
tuned for San Diego's sound wave.
The operator discovered 1t was not
San Diego calling. The only other
station on that wave is known as
"JAA." at Iwaki. in Japan.
He began calling "JAA." and al
most instantly a reply came back
in international code. saying: This
is JAA We hear strong. How do
you hear us?"
The operator replied that he heard
"JAA" call plainly and asked IL
"JAA" had any news. A reply in
the negative. followed by several jap
anese words, flashed back. The
Washington operator could not un-
derstand the words. and then the
connection was lost.
Naval experts were astounded that
the connection was made. and now
attribute II to an atmospheric con-
dition, as efforts made since to call
Iwaki from here have failed.
