Parcel Post Chicks
Survive Long Trip

CHATFIELD, March 23.-After travel
ing seven days and six hours to Leonard,
n. Y, and return to Chatfield, by mail,
1t was found that only two out OF 100
day-old chicks shipped by a local hatch
cry had died. The hatchery made the
shipment in response to an order, but
later received word by wire that the man
who ordered the chicks had left for Flor
ida. The postmaster at Leonard then
sent the shipment back via parcel post to
Chatfeld.
1t is an old axiom Of the day-old chick
business that young chickens, when
Matched, need no food or water for three
days, but this shipment doubled that
time with a ? per cent death rate.

Barrel of Alcohol Is
Source of Conjecture

CHICAGO, March 23-Did or did not
the barrel OF alcohol disappear from the
chemistry laboratory of the University Of
Chicago? Prof. julius Stieglitz says no,
positively no. And he surely ought to
know. But
Nevtheless and notwithstan ding, stu
dents in the chemistry course are going
around With sly winks and clever cackles,
and every once in a while one hears anew
the story of how barrel Of alcohol dis
appeared mysteriously from the chemis-
try laboratory.
Just how the disappearance was en-
gineered-or was supposed to have been
engineered-is not revealed. Perhaps male
members Of the chemistry classes ale

WORLD TRADE
AND HARMONY
ARE TAKEN UP
Foreign Policy, With View of
Business Expansion
Abroad, Sought.
PEACE IS BIG FACTOR

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-How to
harmonic domestic politics with Amer
lean trade expansion abroad today
formed the crux of the foreign prob
lens confronting the Administration.
The Cabinet meeting yesterday deyel-
oped the realization that President Hard
ing not only must seek to satisfy the
factions within his party in forming his
program Of world policy, but must create
- working relationship with foreign
Countries that viii permit the unham-
ered development Of American overseas
tkade.
This new angle Of the Administrator
task. it was learned today, was disclosed
partly by Secretary Hughes survey Of
the foreign situation and partly by
Herbert HOover's outline for increasing
American trade with Europe. Foreign
traders, it was pointed out, are now deal
ing with countries where American bust
ness is inadequately represented be-
cause it was awaiting definition Of the
Government relations to the rest Of the
world
GERMAN PREPARATIONS,
AN IMPORTANT ANGLE.
The situation, it was stated, has three
variants:
1. The method by which peace with
Germany is to be established
2 The Governments attitude toward
participation in an association Of nations.
8. The question Of German reparations
in which the United States has no voice,
but which is declared to have a vital
bearing on Americas foreign trade and
finances.
The Cabinet meeting. 1t is understood,
brought out the importance OF deciding
these issues and defining Americas posi-
ton in world affairs without arOusing the
home elements which either are hostile
TO the League Of Nations or differ vto-
lently as to the role this country should
play abroad.
The Knox peace resolution, It IS con-
tended now in some quarters, not only
would fail to stabilize German American
relations but its passage would stir up
keen resentment among the allies.
WAIT TO LEARN
POSITION OF L. 8.
Both the British and French missions,
when they reach Washington, are ex-
pected TO precipitate showdown as TO
where America stands in European af-
fairs This was the question before the
Cabinet, but thus far there has been no
indication that an answer is ready.
1t was suggested today that COM
promise might be attempted by entering
an association Of nations, but with Ger
tain conditions. The proposed stipula-
lions include: 1. That the allies recog-
nize the American position on mandates.
2. That the German reparations be settled
definitely, with the United States having
a hand in the settlement. 3. That inter
national alliances within the association
by prohibited. 4. That article ten be
eliminated from the new league

WHALE is CHAMPION JUMPER
Mammal Easily Holds All Records
When II Comes to a Question Of
High Leaping.

If you were asked the question:
what animal can jump the highestT
you would in all likelihood, guess
wrong II Is the whale!
Oh, yes, the whale is mammal, not
fish, and he can jump out of the wa
ter to height of % feet with the
greatest ease. This is about twice as
high as the tiger, who can manage
about 1919 feet to 10 feet. A dog has
been known to clear 10 feet, and the
horse follows next with 7 feet Sh
inches.
Mans record high jump was made
in 1914 by Californian, who reached
6 feet z 5-16 inches In 1913, the ire
mendous height of feet 81 inches
was attained for the standing high
jump, though in 1892 man reached
6 feet, with weights, al, this jump.
As regards the long jump, without
weights, the record, "a feet INA
inches, was made in 1901, and 1t has
now stood for nearly twenty years.
The longest jump backwards, with
weights, is u feet IL inches, and the
holder of this record also holds that
of the standing long jump, without
weights, with u feet ia inches.
OF animals, one might expect the
kangaroo to hold the record, but he
can only manage 10 feet-ten less than
man-though. talking of long jumps,
how about the grasshopper? He can
jump 200 times his own length.

GAUDY COSTUME HIS FoIBLE
Marshal Murat, Napoleon's Famous
Cavalry Leader, Seemingly Had
Craze for "Fine Feathers"

Marshal Murat was the dandy
among Napoleon's generals. One Paris
tailor said that in some years he had
made as much as 100000 francs worth
Of suits, overcoats and uniforms for
Nurat. He liked to invent new and
fantastic uniforms, he strutted about
in suit of sky-blue overalls covered
all over with gold spangles, and he
decorated his busby with aigrettes. On
the occasion Of his triumphant entry
into Warsaw when he supposed he
would be made king Of Poland. he
wore an impossible looking uniform,
red leather boots, tunic Of cloth Of
gold, sword belt blazing with dia-
monds. and a great busby of fur
decked out with costly plumes. On
this occasion Napoleon lost his temper
and testify exclaimed to his general:
Go and put on your proper uniform;
you look like a clown" But the en-
peror was not misled by Murat's love
OF fipery. for 1t is recorded that he
once said OF him: you may smite at
my dandified marshal, but you will no.
tlce that when columns are shot down
today, Murat's gaudy plume will be
dancing in the hottest of the fight. Let
a hero have one folly, gentlemen"

ENJOY DELIGHTFUL PROGRAM

The February committee of the
Woman's Club gave their monthly
social at the W. o. w. hall last Mon
day evening. The committee in
charge was composed of the Misses
Mayme Michaels and Mayme Downey
and from all reports the program
was an excellent one.
The husbands of the club ladies
were invited guests for the evening,
and while they thoroughly enjoyed
the program of songs and readings,
they did not show their appreciation
as fully as they did when the SPLEEN
did luncheon was sered.
A vocal solo was rendered by Miss
Edna Petersen. Then followed the
readings by Miss Olga Baker, Miss
Marjorie Wilson, Mary Kennedy and
Dorothy Lowther. Miss Frances
Halvorsen delighted the company
with piano selection.
The specially of the evening was
the song and dance given by Joe
Roth and Pete Petersen. This prov
ed to be scream and the boys begin
to feel as though they would soon
be vaudeville stars.
The hall was taxed to its utmost
capacity. The Club has made the
for the winter months and with each
succeeding program the attendance
increases.
