Bicycles Hold
Popularity In
Holland Still

Amsterdam, Feb. 10 The day
of the bicycle is not past in Hol-
land. In fact, it is still going as
strong as fifteen and twenty years
ago in America when almost every
body pedaled along, delighted with
the new machine which gave them
exercise and airing at the same
time.
In Amsterdam, especially, the
traveller will at once notice the un-
usual number of bicycles in every
day use. The narrow streets are
full of them, lodging in and out
among the taxicabs, handcarts and
heavy wagons which are so typical
of Holland. The old-fashioned rack
in front of a store where the GUS
toner may lock up his wheel while
making a purchase is still in full
vogue, and the court of every de-
partment etore and commercial
house is filled with bicycles during
the days work. Not only the
workers are seen hurrying to work
on their bicycles, but the better
class of business men also ride to
work. 1t is not because Holland
lacks tramcars and other trans
portation, but bicycles simply re-
main in favor
Throughout the viifages of Hol-
land a better reason for the poDu-
larity of the bicycle is seen. There
the cars form the principal arter-
les of travel. Next to them are
the ''stoom trans" little steam rail-
ways which weeze along and make
but poor time, as they stop at
every tiny farm and village to pick
up cans of milk bound for the
great cheese making centers. The
roads are narrow and not suited
to automobile travel, but are ex-
cellent bicycle paths.
Queer Sights on Wheels.
Hence, all the villages are equip
ped with fleets of bicycles. In the
districts like Vollendam, were the
old native costume is still worn, it
is a common sight to see a man
in wooden shoes and trousers three
feet wide pedaling bravely along in
stiff wind. The women, too, in
their full skirts and white winged
caps, often dash away on wheels
to the nearby town to buy some
thing which cannot be obtained in
their own small village.
Ladies models of bicycles are in
principal vogue on account of the
voluminous garments of both the
ben and the women. The machines
are largely of Holland make, al
though there are many American
brands to be seen in the stores,
! just as there are many brands of
| other American goods on sale in
Holland, whereas there are but few
American products seen in other
European countries.
Nevertheless, the bicycle retains
a popularity in Holland that it did
not hold in any other country
abroad or even in the United
States. 1t is the great time saver
of Holland, and never was it more
popular for business and fer sport

Crude Oil Price

Kansas City, Mo, Feb. 9-Crude
oil produced in the great mid-con-
tinent fields of Kansas and Okla
homa today dropped to one-half
the price quoted 16 days ago.

Gas company brought the price
down to s1.75 a barrel, compared
with $3.50 a barrel January "a.
Restricted demand recently for
fuel oil and other petroleum pro-
ducts and an over-abundant pro-
duction is the reason given for
the precipitate decline in prices for
the crude product.

REDUCE CLAIMS FOR COMPENSATION

A reduction of 29,476 in the num- Der of pending compensation and in- surance claims of former service men and women has been effected during the last three months of the fiscal year ending July 1. 1921 it is an nounced today by Director c. R. Forbes of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. This reduction in the number of claims on which final ac- tion is still to be taken has been ac- complished notwit hstanding the fact that new claims have been reaching the bureau during that period at an average rate of from 700 to 800 a day, and that these new cases re- cefve at once as complete action as is possible on the data presented
 On April I, 1921, there were pend ing before the bureau 99.401 claims for compensation and 5,TSS insurance claims; on July 1, 1921, the account stands 67,000 pending compensation claims and 3.025 pending insurance claims, while during that period Of time 56. 25S new claims have been filed with the bureau.
 A determined drive toward the goal of a current basis in handling the claims of former service men has been instituted in the bureau To this end a. weekly chart is prepared and posted in each of the units of the Compensation and Insurance Claims Division where action on the claim is initiated, and on this appears the number of waiting claims apportion- ed to that section and the estimated close of the week Many of the units are now running ahead of their schedule of reduction of cases await ing action.

things being equal. the better are the prospects of anyone living to a ripe old age.
 While high pressure runs in cer- fact that many persons acquire it through faulty modes of living. Over eating, alcohol, too much tobacco, excessee of all kinds, business wor- ries, undue mental or physical strain and germ infections will produce it in persons who inherit a natural ten
 deney to good arteries. High blood pressure is the forerunner of kidney
 and heart disease and apop1eXy.
 To-day the young man has better
 prospects than he formerly had Of living to be forty, because typhoid
 fever and tuberculosis. that formerly caused so many deaths. are slowly being conquered In fact, typhoid fever probably will be a very rare disease ten years from now. But past the age of forty mans like 1 lihood of living to a ripe old age are
 no better than they were fifty CT one hundred years ago-and this is true. | despite the notable advances in me- dicine and surgery.
 High blood pressure, leading up to | heart, artery and kidney diseases and apopleXy, is the principal cause of | deaths in persons past middle life,
 and bad faulty methods of living | have more to do with this than bad | heredity."

Vienna, Austria, July 5.-Some en- terprising Austrians have started a great row here by suggesting that It is high time that the famous sixteen white horses of the Spanish Riding school should get out and earn thelr salt
 A movement has been started to have the horses tour the world giving performances in every city for the benefit of Austria But these horses. the last of the Austrian ar1stocrats to be supported out of public funds have many partisans who feel that the proposal is nothing short ot trea- sonable, so it looks as though the famous performers would continue 10 lead an elegant though lean existence in Nthe Hofburg palace staples TOT some time longer.
 The Spanish Riding school was feature of the old Austro-Hun gar1an court, which started way back in the CTS of Spain Centuries ago the forerunners of the present unfortun- ate tribe were imported from Spain, and thereafter the spanish R1dlng school horsese were bred in Ilp1cza, on the Slovenian border, near Trieste. Each year sixteen pairs of milk white steeds were selected for the court These were trained in the Spanish Riding school adjoining the roya! palace. Along a marrow Tagged pavement, between rows of closely-set pillars topped with arches, these beautiful beasts were taught to WalI1 on their hind legs. They could not fall because the pillars prevented them.
 The riders are all famous aristo- crats and all of1icers-the handsomest men and the best riders that the Austrian aristocracy could produce They lived and dressed according to the most Ineticulous etiquette. On some occasions they wore pale. fawn- colored frock coats, with trousers of deerskin, high brown boots and a yell low tricorne hat. On other occa- sions they were gorgeously arrayed in coats of scarlet. with gold and black decorations. white brooches, shiny black top-boots and black tri- corne hat, with a gold and black cockade.
 The appearance of the horses and riders of the Spanish school indi- caSed the most extraordinary occa- sions, such as the visit of a foreign king or prince.

K 0REA HAS
 JAPAN IN DOUBT
Policy of Protection" Is Not Accepted By Natives As Sincere = Atmosphere
 Is Thick With Suspicion.

Tokio, July 6.-'Protection'' of Koreans is the latest concern of the Japanese government. There is some difference of opinion as to the meaning of the word "protection''; but nevertheless, it is filed away in the kio and in the minutes of the policy whereby the natives of Ko- req are to be 'tprotected.''
 A section of the press of Tokio openly admits that there has been a misuse of words and that the policy adopted was merely one of greater reans; that the word protection should never have been used in the case. Certain it is that the Inn peria1 Japanese Government has activities, not only of Koreans in Korea, but of malcontent Koreans who have crossed outside of Korean boundaries. chiefly in Southern Si- beria and Manchuria, and have been the cause of numerous border fights of more or less important character. These newspapers explain the poH- cy of protection" adopted for Ko- reans as one by which the frontier garrisons in these sections are to be strengthened.
 It is known in Tokio that for sev- eral months now the control of rual- outside the borders of the Japanese controlled territory and are able to operate as they please, has formed a subject of much concern to the Japanese Government Numerous Japanese policemen and soldiers have been killed and wounded; houses have been burned, and general dis orders have been reported frequently as a result of these ma1contents work
 Siberian Control Proposed
 One measure suggested as a way of better controlling the maicontenIs in the areas along the northern Ko- rean borders is a decision to increase the police forces stationed at the agreement with the Chita (Siberian) Government, whereby the Chita gov ernment will exercise control over Koreans in its territories, is also pro- posed.
 Frequent reports that the Korean question has completely cleared and that, as far as Tokio is concerned, there is no longer a Korean ques- ton, are simply nisstatements of a Korean who attempted to assas- sjnate Baron Saito, Governor-General of Korea. has been sentenced to death; reports of numerous new dis turbances have come into Tokio, and frequent conferences regarding future policy have tended to show that the Government is not at all easy about the condition of affairs in Korea. Thus, as among the decisions of the Colonial conference, one will be | recorded as a policy for "protection'' of the Koreans. But the Koreans | themselves and numerous observers | are going to wait some time before accepting this benevolent-soundins word as true in its entirety.
