 The speaker said that James was very fond of playing practical jokes, and at the point in Julius Caesar when Brutus leaves Cassius declar- ing: Until then me noble friend chew upon this!" James usually handed him a match box, an iron bolt or anything he might happen to pick up to make the thing ridiculous
 On one occasion James planned to lay in his hand some cubes of ice. But having concealed them in his robes, and there being a longer delay than anticipated, the ice melted and drenehed poor James to the skin.
 The result was that James, who usually played reposefully, enacted the part of Brutus like frisky horse after which he had to change from the skin out. He bought me box of cigars on that"

FOCH IMPRESSED BY
 MILITARY DISPLAY
Soldiers Everywhere" He Comments as Troops Swing
 by in Review
By Associated Press

Chicago, November 5.-The mili- tary display during his visit to the United States in peace time impressed Marshal Foch so much that he com mented today on 1t during his visit to Chicago.
 Look Soldiers everywhere" the commander of the allied forces said to National Commander Hanford MacNider of the Ameriaan Legion as they were reviewing the troops pa rading in his honor and which had acted as his escort
 Commander MacNider explained to Marshal Foch that this Is not mili- tary country, notwithstanding the array of soldiery which has met him in every city he has visited. Marshal Foch smiled.
 The crowd that stood on Chicago's streets today to greet the allied com- mander was not as great as those which saw him in St. Louis or In dianapolis, though it perhaps was about as demonstrative.
 The largest assembled crowd other than at the University of Chicago, where the student body formed n part of the audience which witnessed the comforting of the honorary degree of doctor of laws was Lincoln park where this afternoon the marSnal lafu a wreath at the foot of Lincoln's statue. Several thousand people were gathered there and welcomed him with cheers. Marshal Foch did not speak. the ceremony lasting only q few minutes.
 Alighting from the automobile In front of the statue the French war rior came to rigid salute as a band played the Marsellaise. More than a score of cameras clicked as the marshal was caught in such an ad- vantageous position.
 Tired from almost one solid week of entertainment in four of the larg est middle-west cities, Marshal Foch rested practically all afternoon at the home of Arthur Meeker in Lake Shore drive. The ceremony at the Lincoln statue was the only function until the banquet and meeting in the auditorium tonight.
 Tomorrow Marshal Foch will be- come a Knight of Columbus, making the one millionth man to have be- come such. A monster Knights of Columbus demonstration Is planned for the occasion. Supreme Director Edward Hoolihan announced that 100000 Knights are expected to pa rade.

TRAyELOGUE ON FIGS

From Leslie's.
 From Fresno, where the ralslns come from, comes the news that carload of "calismyrnas" has been safely delivered in New York. What pray. is a "calismyrna" A Smyrna fig naturally, grown in California!
 smyrna, as everybody knows. has been the great place for figs. They had the tradition. the climate, the trees, And what you might not think of at first--the necessary bug. For without the proper sort of insect to crawl round and help distribute pol len, figs, 1t appears, do no flourish. This was not understood at first by the California fig-growers. but as coon as 1t was found out and agents sent to Asia Minor for supply of these fertilizers, figs which had been an inch long before became three Inches, and trees that had had no fruit were covered. These 'calismyr- mas" are white figs. like the kind that come in boxes, and the Fresno people think that the San Joaquin valley will become just as famous for figs as It already is for raisins.
 Ripe figs have been difficult to ship. They were so soft if allowed to ripen on the trees that they easily decayed en route. and if one started to spoil 1t was likely to spoil the whole box. By careful picking. chilling before backing, careful pack ing and shipping by express, the ripe figs were safely brought to the New York market In Fresno you can buy ripe figs for ten cents pound. and q pound is about all one wants to eat at one time. The carload of "calismyrnas" which reached New York doubtless sold for five or six times as much as that, but the time may come when customers may buy ripe figs as commonly as they do oranges and bananas.

 Father: Perhaps I can explain 1t, my son, by saying that a dentists bill is robbery, while a doctors bill is absolute pillage.

Investigations conducted by the Ma tiona1 Tuberculosis association indi- cate that more than 50 per cent of all children are infected with the tu- bercule bacillus before they are 10 years of age. Whether the child suc- cumbs to this infection or whether he is able to overcome the germs. they point out, will depend on the degree to which his powers of re- sistance are strengthened.
