THE PRIMES HAVE IT.
"Oh. prunes!''

TN. pruneS!
This expression usually indicates
derision. or at least dissatisfaction.
but as il is heard around the offices
Of the Ohio members of congress
these days it stands for pleasure and
satisfaction. Every Ohio solOn has
received a large and ornate package
Of California prunes with the COM
pliments Of Rep. Free OF that state.
They are Free" prunes in every
sense Of the word, as the member is
not even called on 10 pay the war
tax, and that Mr.. Free has been
very free" with his prunes is dem
onstrated by the fact that there are
49, mem bers Of the house and a
large package of prunes for every
member. TO say nothing OF the at
taches Of the house who also are
reveling in prunes, means in the ag-
gregate large consignment of
prunes.
So it happens that the prune has
been the prop and mainstay Of Ohio
members of congress during the last
few days and several OF them are
ready to testify that they can do
more fOOt-pOunds Of labor on a
prune diet than they ever have been
able to accomplish on a regulation
course of ham and eggs
A canvass today of Ohio mem
beers of congress to learn their atu-
tude toward the prune in the light
OF several days feasting on Califor-
MIA prunes was very complimentary
TO the prune.
Il feel like saying oh, you prune'
every time l see that big package
of prunes on my desk" said Rep.
James T. Begg Of Sandusky. You
can quote me as being strong for
the prune."
Rep. John L. Gable. OF Lima, made
the following statement:
LAS soon as l opened my package
of prunes 1 recognized an old IA
mil.ar face. You see. when 1 was
l belonged to a boarding club which
was organized by the students to get
their meals at the lowest possible
cost. In those days the prune was
our friend and constant companion.
II owe a great deal to the prUne,
and my feeling of gratitude is such
that no newspaper man. however
clever and adroit he may be. viii
ever get me TO say anything against
the prune. I am grateful for the
opportunity YOU afford me to pay
this slight eulogy TO the prune."
Rep. Roy Fitzgerald's expression
was brief and TO the point.
Il love prunes," he said. II could
live on them"
Rep. Charles J. Thompson, Of
Defiance, said.
MY acquaintance with the prune
is only slight. as I have barely tap
pc d the top Of the large box that
was sent to me. If I thought a
vigorous course of prunes would In
duce Postmaster Gen. Hays to kick
out of office lot of democratic post
masters who are likely TO ruin this
republican administration I would

carload more for him from Cal

Edith conhded 10 me. She had
never before said anything about
this infatuation Of hers. so I could

I'D like TO borrow him for a
week" she went on. dot has so
much else to do, don't you think she
would lend him TO me-"
"Of course. she'll be glad 10 get
rid OF him" 1 replied lightly.
mo, I'm in earnest. Don't you
think Dot would let me have him
I'd take awfully good care of him"
Dot might consent, but never
would"
why not?"
I'm afraid you'd vamp him"
Then his father would be safe
from my wiles. I should think that
would be an argument in favor of
letting me have him a while"

Says Try Luck on FAr1m.

Sen. Pomerene's letters 10 his con-
stituents are frequently character
lied by hOmely philosophy. one Of
the mysteries which the senator can
not quite fathom is why young men
who are without means will drift 10
the cOngested centers of population,
rather than embrace the OppOrtuni-
ties that await every red bloOded
boy on the farm. In writing 20 Mrs.
Effie y. Rafferty, Of jacksonville,
Ky. whose sons career is in the
formative stage. the senator sug-
gested that he try his luck on the
farm.
II do not understand" wrote Sen.
Pomerene, why more young men
do not go to the country and work
on the farm in order TO earn money
to help them through their college
courses. 1t is true that the wage is
not always great. but 1t very rarely
happens that they do not have a
good home with good board and a
good bed, and while in the country
they are away from extravagant ex-
penditures and in the end most of
them will have more money and bet
ter health than they would have if
the same length of time were spent

When was a small boy cousin lived

Of signals. We had red and blue and
yellow and green and white squares Of

the message IN accordance with our
code. From above down. red, blue. yell
low, green meant:
Everybody has gone out. Come over

II soon developed that my cousin
couldn't read my signals and HIS signals
meant nothing 10 me. At first we didn't
understand why. but We discovered he
was color blind and was incapable OF
telling red frUm green or yellow from
blue.
Various theories have been advanced
70 explain color blindness. One theory
Is that ia tho seeing part OF the eye
the retIna-are three sets Of color-receiv-
ing elements. These are act for the prt-
rnery colors red. green and violet. re-
spectiveiy. Each Of these colors Is recog-
nized because OF It's stimulation OF the
corresponding element OF the retina. All
the other colors are made by combina-
tions 81 the primary colors. and they are
recognized BY the eve because OF tho
stimulation OF two Of the three receiv-
ing elements.
In color blindness one or these eie-
n1ents Is lacking. For instance. red may
not be recognized at all. and all the com
binations in which red IS included would
lack this color. Yellow is made OF red
and green. but II the red element OF the
retina were lacking. yellow would be
seen as green.
