PRESCRIPTION FOR LONG LIFE
According to This German Physician,
n Is Easy to Add to Ones Years
of Usefulness.

The gathering of centenarianY which
took place the other day recalled the
case of the eminent German physician,
Doctor Fischweiler, who died recently
at the age of one hundred and nine.
He often declared that he possessed
an infallible rule for securing longev.
ity, which he would reveal to the
world in his will. Upon his death,
then, this formula was disclosed:
''Put your bed, orienting 1t by means
of a compass, SO that you viii have
your head placed north. and lie in a
horizontal position. Sleep solidly with
closed fists"
This is the whole secret. This posi-
ton, 1t is asserted, brings the body In

currents coming from the north and
insures an extremely happy blood cir
culation.

Picture of Secretary of State Charles Evan Hughes, made from a photograph taken during the Arms Conference. The Secretarys success sive victories in statecraft have caused worldwide recognition of his genius as diplomat. With a wisdom which is likened to that of George Washington, he steered clear of the forthcoming economic conference at Genoa and, for Frances benefit, cabled a demand for the payment of America's expenses for the Army on the Rhine out of the first reparations payments by Germany. France yes terday cabed acquiescence with the Hughes demand, and today Great Britain accepts his views. The great Secretary's aim-the diplomats say was to discourage caIamitous foray by the French army into Germany.

Capital of $25,OO0, 1000 Is to Be Found at Once to Take Over Vessels in Pacific Trades.

SEATTLE, April 5.-William Pig gott, the wealthy steel manufactur- CT and capitalist, today announced that he is organizing company with a capital of $25, 100000 to handle the shipping of American goods from Puget Sound to all ports of the Pac- fife ocean.
 MT. Piggott said he would raise "a few millions" in Seattle and the balance in the east, and that he anticipated no difficulty in obtain ing all the capital needed. He said that the recent proposals for a Pac- fife coastwise pool, with $30,00O,OOO capital, which was tentatively en- dorsed by President Harding and the Shipping Board as sound policy, appeal strongly to Seattle capitalists and that they have decided to go ahead on their own account without further delay.

JUNEAU, April 5.-Delegate Dan Sutherland spoke last night to an audience of about $50 persons. There was little enthusiasm.

His address was critical and finding, with a to- tai lack of any constructive or con- crete program for remedial meas ures.
 MT, Sutherland said the most dan gerous condition is found in the transportation situation, as now con- stituted and that Alaska shipers are being "mulcted" by companies which are establishing a "dog-in-the- manager" attitude.
 MT. Sutherland said that, notwith- standing the Presidents new pro- gram and expectations of success, he (Mr. Sutherland) has no hope of any relief being given by the Unit ed States Shipping Board
 All he can do as Delegate, he said merely is to continue his policy of agitation against the steamship and other companies by extending his remarks" (unspoken speeches) in the privilege used by most congressman. privilege user by most congressman. He had done this several weeks ago, he said, and so would continue to the end of his term.
