WASHINGTON NOTES
6,50O,O0O Farms.

The Bureau of the Census reports
that there are little short Of $780,
900 farms in the United States, of
which nearly 100000 are operated
by owners, less than 100000 by ten
ants, and the remainder by managers.
And their job is to feed 110,000,00O
people and still have a marketable
surplus. Last year we imported ST.
SIG ,OOO, 900 worth of foodstuffs and
food animals, crude or manufactured,
out of total importation of S5,279,-
000, ,000-or over one-third our import
bill being for foods. Isn't this good
enough reason for protection to en-
courage the farming industry?
Free trade in farm products works
in vicious circle. Every farm put
out of business means increased de-
pendence on foreign food supplies.
Great Britain's repeal of the corn laws
placed her in a position where she
would have starved in very few
weeks during the World War, had it
not been for the vast resources of the
United States which had been develop
ed largely through the protective tariff
policy. Had the Democratic tariff
policy been in effect for decade prior
to that great war the United States
would have been in no position to feed
the allied powers, and Germany would
have been at our throats today with
the troops and navies of Europe press
ed into service against US. There is
virtue in protection not wholly sum-
med up in the greater profit which it
insures to husbandry.

Where Will il End7

John Bull appears to be as busy as
one-armed paper hanger with the
hives. The coal strike having created
shortage of fuel for British indus
tries and public utilities, Great Brit
ain has turned to importation to help
out. So the Transport Workers Fed
Grafton steps in and puts a ban on
the handling Of foreign coal brought
to England and the railwaymen's
union refuse to haul the coal. 1t is
beginning to look as IL organized la
Dor had John Bull hogtied, and the
main question with us is, Where will
the movement end and how does the
spirit of Karl Marx feel about It?

the dishes was a great roast Of beef
which the royal visitor attacked with
gusto and ate until the abbot biinked
In wonder.
I'D give hundred pounds" he
cried, could l eat like that instead
OF nibbling at a chicken wing. Ny
stomach is sQuessie."
The king departed without identi
flying himself to the monks. and the
very next day the abbot was taken
to the Tower and locked In q cell with
nuught but a bit OF bread and water
Several days passed. and then the
guards appeared with the informa-
ton that the abbot was to be freed
and he was conducted to room where
q roast beef was sitting on q table.
He was almost starved from his long
dieting and he swallowed the last bit
of the smoking roast. Out Jumped
Henry from behind a curtain. "Ah
ha." cried the king. I've cured you,
and now down with my hundred
pounds or back you 60 to the Tower"
The money was paid and the abbot
departed rejoicing.

HOW ONION AFFECTS EYES
"Gass" Given Off Causes Smarting and
the Organ Hastens to Take Relief
Measures.

The gas" given off by freshly
peeled onion makes itself apparent in
two wayS-by q strong aroma which
Is at once apparent to the sense OF
smell, and by smarting of the eye
balls, which, being very sensitive, are
hurt by this substance to which they
are not accustomed.
The nerves of the eye Immediately
signal the brain to turn on the tears
or liquid which is secreted by the body
as a natural eye-WaSh. This, flowing
over the eyeball, forms a curtain which
prevents the onion gas from coming
in direct contact with the nerves and
thus injuring them.
Tears are present in the eye at all
times. When we wink, tiny drop of
the tear-liquid is smeared across the
ball of the eye and washes Off par
ticles of dust which may have accum-
ulated. But when this liquid is pro-
duced so rapidly that it cannot be
carried off by the trough at the lower
part of the eye, the tears overflow and
run down the face.

WHY ONES TEETH "CHATTER"
Certain Set of Muscles, Affected by the
Cold, Get to Work, Irrespective
of Will.

The little muscles which close the
jaw are acted upon by the cold in such
a way that they pull the jaw up and
then let it fall by it's own weight.
This, repeated many times, causes
the teeth to click together and produce
what we know as "chattering."
We think of it in connection with
our teeth because it is the teeth which
make the sound, but the cause lies in
the muscles which we use in chewing
or in opening our mouth when we
speak.
The chattering occurs in spite of the
will or brain. We have little control
over it, and can stop it only by clench-
ing the teeth. 1t is really mild va
riety of spasm caused by the cold,
which acts on the jaw muscles in much
the same way that some pofSOns pro-
duce muscular spaSms which cannot
be controlled.
