sacc.srin Discovered by Accident.

Saccharin, 500 times as sweet as
sugar, and much in demand during
the war, was discovered, according 10
the Baslcr Nachrichtcn, by an in
structor in Johns Hopkins university.
The story runs as follows.
In the summer of 1878 the disroy-
erer, q. t'ahlberg by name, was try
ing to restore certain organic bodies.
At the dinner table ut the close of a
busy day he noticed that n piece Of
bread tasted uncOmmOnly sweet. 1t
occurred TO him ut once that the
sweetness came from his hands,
though he had carefully washed them
before sitting down TO cat lie iGr-
ried back tn his laboratory and taste !
all the glasses he had used in his eN-
periments. One of them lie found
exceptionally sweet. lie anaiyzed the
remaining drops and found that they
were n derivative of bcn2Ol. In lSSi
lie set up an experimental factory for
the manufacturing Of saccharin in
New York.

$3.50, 100000 FOR VETERANS
APPROVED IN SWEET MEASURI

Washington, Aug. 2.-Congres-
sional action was completed today
on the Sweet bill to consolidate
Government agencies dealing with
former service men, when the House
adopted the conference report. The
measure now goes to the President.
Representative Burton f. Sweet,
Republican, Iowa, author of the bill,
told the House il was estimated

measure, $13,0OO,O0O of the total
going for administration. During
the last fiscal year, he said, the
agencies which the bill consolidates
spent approximately $3.50 ,OO0,O 900.
After Representative Frank Mon

ed no nation had ever been more
generous in the treatment of war
veterans. Representative Finis ].

AMERICAN VALUATION PRO-
VISION AND DYE EMBARGO
Sections Stumbling Blocks OF
the Fordney Tariff
Measure

Washington, July 3O.-The ques-
ton of whether the American vplua-
tion provision shall be retained in
the Fordney tariff bill and whether
the dye embargo sections shall be
restored in the measure will be de-
cided by the senate finance commit
tee before hearings are held on the
proposed duties.
Two days more, Monday and
Tuesday, will be given over to dis
cussion OF the domestic valuation
plan and the dye embargo question
will be considered Wednesday after
which the committee will meet ex-
ecutively to thrash out it's program.
Agreement as to the course on
both the controversial questions
was reached today after a morning
of discussion had made ii evident,
in the opinion of committee men,
bers, that the two subjects would
crop up continuously and delay the
hearings. Chairman Penrose had
said earlier in the week that the
committee probably would decide
the policy of American valuation
next week and the agreement today
was made to include the dye ban as
a measure of speeding up action.
Senator Penrose earlier in the
day had warned that unless more
speed was injected into the COM
mittoe's next work, the country
would not have tariff before CON
siderable snow is on the ground. -
He added that 26S persons have re-
quested hearings. AS a result of the
agreement. the second week of tho
committees consideration of the bill
is allotted None of the committee
members would forecast the length
of time which would be given TO de-
tails or rates. After the open hear
ings are completed, the committee
viii sill have before it the actual
work OF rewriting such rates and
provisions as were found necessary.
For that reason, leaders on all
sides regard the time OF return OF
the bill to the senate as highly I'M
certain.
All of the rates in the measure
were computed by the house ways
and means committee on the basis
of assessing duties on the American
rather than the foreign wholesale
market value of the commodities
Ii the plan is rejected by the senate
committee, it would require com
plete revision of all rates. according
to Senator Penrose.
Although the dye embargo sec.
ton was eliminated by the house
after a fight, witnesses appearing
today urged its restoration and tell
ing the committee that to leave il
out of the measure would result
in destruction of the American dye
and chemical industry, by the Ger.
man syndicate. Objections to It's
incorporation in the bill also were
heard. The committee itself appear.
ed sharply divided and several times
Chairman Penrose asked that the
discussion of policy" be withheld
for executive sessions.

WHY?

WHY are sailors trousers always
made wide at the bottom?
BECAUSE, in the course of or
binary small boat duty, a sailor
generally goes barefoot, and in max
ing a ending on beach he grasps
his trousers and pulls them up to
the thigh, thus landing through the
surf with dry clothing. Trousers
such as landsmen wear would have
TO be rolled up, which would cause
too much delay.
WHY is wOman's allowance
called pin-money?
BECAUSE, at the beginning or
the fifteenth century pins were con-
sidered a very acceptable present by
women, who, up to that time, had
used wooden skewers. Sometimes
money was given with or instead OF
pins, and was called "pin-money."
WHY is the fourth hour marked
iii on clock-dials, instead OF ~?
BECAUSE, when the first clock,
resembling those in use to-day, was
made by Henry Wick in 1870, for
Charles v, of France. surnamed the
Wise, the king found fault with the
Roman numeral Nv. He said II
should be iii. Wick ventured to
suggest that the king was mistaken,
whereupon Charles roared: II am
never wrong! Take the clock away
and correct the mistake at once. on

extra roll to the dozen to make up

WHY does a dog turn around
several times before lying down?
BECAUSE in his wild state, the
dog lived in jungles, as the wolf
and fox do now. Before lying down
he turned several times in order to
tramp the leaves and grasses down
and away from his body and thus
secure a fat resting place. The. in

no reason for the practice.

WHY do we always shake hands
with the right hand?
BECAUSE in the days when peO-
pie were not as peaceabIe as they
now are, every man carried n
sword or dagger to defend himself.
This sword was worn on his left
side, where the right hand could
quickly grasp it for use in time of
peril. When a man wished to show
that he was friendly, he extended
his right hand, which would be
clasped by the others right hand,
if he. too, meant peace. Thus each
would be sure that the other would
not draw his sword.
WHY does a woman give the
mitten' to a man when she refuses
him?
BECAUSE when women wore
half gloves, or mitts, they could
withdraw the hand from the grasp
nj lover and leave only the glove
therein. -sg In this way the unwel-
come sutton was made to snder-
stand that his attentions were not
wanted.
