up.to.pate Baraes.

1t is far cry from the Erie canal
to the present barge canal Of New
York state, and just as far from the
mule-hauled canal boat to the latest
type of self-propelled barges which
were recently built to run on the
barge canal. These barges, FIVE in
number, were built in Duluth. and will
be propelled by 140-brake-horsepower
direct reversible Diesel engines. They
are $50 feet long, 56-foOt beam, 10-foot
draft, with displacement Of 2,150
tons each. Besides being self-pro1
PEELED they are all thoroughly equipped
with electric auxiliaries, having cleo
trio hydraulic steering gear, electric
anchor windlasses, and electric cap
stan. They are all electrically lighted,
the electricity for the various pur-
poses for which it is used being pro-
vided on each barge by three 10-kilo-
watt generators, driven by 15-horse-
power DIESEL engine. The cargo ca
pacities range from 1900 to 1850 tons
each, which, to any one who remem-
bers the old canal boats, will give an
idea Of the type Of traffic to be ex-
pected on the canal.

Some of the British miners families
were very particular during the coal
strike. In certain mining village of
North Ayrshire, where the strikers
children were being fed by the SUBJ
scriptions which their parents extorted
from the rest of the community, it was
found that at the midday meal about
20 per cent of the children refused to
take the soup which was offered to
them, saying that they preferred bread
or tea. The authorities, realizing that
they were catering for very exacting
clientele. knew better than to take Of
tense at this rebuff and announced
that tea would be served at O'clock,
whereupon one starving child ex-
claimed: That's nae guild tae me :

COT WRONG "CIRL"
One Occasion When Monarch's
Plans Went Wrong.
Might Be Difference of Opinion az to
Whether Joke Was on Frederick
or the Corporal.

Those who read history with an
eye to the humorous as well as the
impressive, sometimes stumble upon
funny and witty happenings In which
the great were forced by humble be-
ings or by circumstance to play lu-
dicrous parts, writes Mark Stuyvesant
in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The
following incident seems as though it
had been designed to swamp with
laughter the carefully carried-out and
often cruel plans Of Frederick William
/. of Prussia to have corps of giant
soldiers.
1t is said that Frederick's agents
searched the world for giants. Hag-
gard, to whom we are indebted for this
information, tells US that Frederick
paid an Irish giant. who was Z feet
high, the sum of $500 to enlist,
veritable fortune in those days.
But Frederick, who was misery,
disliked to pay such sums even to
achieve his ambition for an army OF
giants. He determined to breed giants
as well as to buy them. Whenever he
found tall young woman he had her
married to one of his tallest soldiers.
No thought of the desires Of either
was permitted to stand in the way Of
his ambition. Sometimes Frederick
resorted to trickery to bring about his
wish.
One day when Frederick was riding
in forest, he, came upon beautiful
girl about 6 feet in height. She did
not know the king by sight. This
Frederick realized when he stopped
to talk with her. He well knew the
girl could not read, for very few wom-
en- Of his day, even Of the highest
rank, possessed this Accomplishment.
So Frederick asked the girl If she
would like to earn thaler or two
by carrying a note to the commander
Of a nearby fortress. She said she
would like to have the money. So
Frederick wrote note. 1t read:
Instantly have the bearer of this
married to Corp. Fritz of the Gren-
adiers."
The unsuspeeting girl took the note
and left the king, who continued his
way in the opposite direction. Sud-
denly the girl realized that if she did
the errand she would be late to an APP
pointment with her lover. So she hur-
ried to the hut of withered cid
woman, gave her half the kings money
and the note to deliver. Then this
beautiful. stately girl hurried away
to meet the man she loved.
When Frederick rode into the for
tress that evening, he commanded the
woman who had borne the note to be
brought before him with her husband.
Imagine the shock to the king when
he saw the withered old woman, who
had been married to the corporall
Needless to say, the story did not
remain secret in the fortress. 1t
ran the length and breadth of Prussia,
and other nations also laughed.

Cat Mothers Rabbit.

An interesting case Of adoption has
occurred on farm in the humble dis
trict of East Lothian, Scotland. A
cat. whose kittens had been given
away as they were old enough to be
removed from the mother, has adopt-
ed young wild rabbit, which she
tends and nurses with great care and
affection. The cat was in the habit
of killing and bringing In young rab-
bits to feed its kittens. and it is re-
markable that she now should show
maternal affection towards an animal
which hitherto she has regarded as
prey.

TO INACCURATE IN JANUARY.
Bar Association Advocates Change
From March 4.

Cincinnati, O.-Advance of the Pres
idential inauguration from March to
the third Monday in January is recon-
mended by special committee of the
American Bar Association, which will
report to its convention opening here
August 80.
The committee also advises that
the Congress elected in November
meet the second Monday Of the fol-
lowing January.
The ground for the proposed
changes, is that too much time elapses
between election and the Inaugural
ton, and the converting of Congress.
The report calls attention to bill
OF Senator Ashurst providing for
similar alterations.

This decision was reached as the re-

Il was reported in French circles
that Premier BRAND was willing to
reconsider the plan drawn up by Count
Sforza, Of Italy, which would give
most of the industrial and mining dis
trict to Germany, but subsequently 1t
was decided that a more satisfactory
settlement would be to allow the
League OF Nations to handle the issue.
The proposal originated with
Premier Lloyd George. The Supreme
Council met at noon and approved the
suggestion.
Before deciding to refer the Upper
Silesia matter to the League of Ma

On the other hand, Mr.. Lloyd George
has informed Mr.. de Valera that there
can be no compromise on the question
of the right of Ireland to secede from

Premier tells Mr.. de Valera that the
conditions OF the proposed settlement
contain no desire on the part Of Great
Britain for British ascendancy over
ireland or the impairment of Ireland's
national ideals.
