 Just how much progress such an idea win male ls impossible to tell but the motive back Of lt seems 10 be at least well directed. As everyone knows a red light in the highway doesn't necessarily mean the rear end of an automobile or H wagon. Yet there are those who have given it such an interpretation and as Inc result they have encountered trouble by endeavoring to go around such lights. The speeding car doesn't always step to ascertain whether everything is all right any more than it pays any too much at iention Co the railroad crossing. Because red lights have been interpreted as the rear lighL of a standing machine others have proceeded to the left only to find out that the red light was a danger sig nal connected with highway work or de- Feet and accidents have followed.
 
 accidents that have occurred that there is a desire 10 distinguish between the meaning Of the red light for highway ob- structtons and the tail light of automo- hiies and it is believed that the way is provided by doing away with red for tai lights and substituting yellow.

There can be no disposition to show leniency to General Semenon if he is m fact guilty Of the charges that are made against him. Those of course would have Co be established at any trial but it is the claim of the United States attorney at New York that he cannot be tried on a criminal charge in that city or this country. 1t is in fact difficult to see from the opinion Of this federal sttor- ney that there is any prospects that he win ever he brought to justice for what be Is accused bf having done.

 It often happens that some congress siona1 orator, right in the midst Of flight of eloquence. gets stranded for 6 word or for simile, and comes back to earth with a thud. Take for instance the day Senator Asl1urst was pleading eloquently for an additional federal judge for his state of Arizona Mr. Ashurst described in technical terms the need of an additional justice; he pictured the narrowing cases that come before an official pointing his long arms slsy-ward. Then he fell to earth. Why" said he, You must see the need for yourself. A judge can't grind out decisions as he would grind sausages out of a ma- cf1ine.''
 Then take the incident during the elo- quent and frey debate on whether or not the navy personnel should be S6,0O0 or 67,o00. When Chindblooa of Illinois stopped in the midst of an impassloned speech and demanded a rising vote on hts amendment T just want. to have you count noses and see how we stand 9 he shouted to the dtgnifed gentleman in

FAMOUS MEN.
HENRY w. LoNeFELLow

Henry W. Longfellow, the most pop ular of all American poets, retained his unusual mental vigdr to within three months of his death, on March 24, 1882. On his seventy y-fifth birth day, little more than a month before his death, special celebrations were held in the schools of the country com- memorating the day. Craigie House, the residence of Dongfellow, was thronged all day with those who came to congratulate him. He received in his ample study rich with accumu- lations of literary luxury.
 The wonder of Nr. Longfellow's later years was not so much that he kept up his incessant literary activity, as that he did it in the midst of the con- stant Interruptions involved by great personal popularity and fame. He re- tained to the last his sympathy with young people and with all liberal and progressive measures.
 At the time of his seventy fourth ] birthday, a hostess in Ohio sent him | a hundred blank cards, with the re- i quest that he would write his name on each, that she might distribute them among her guests at a party she was l to give on that day. Strange as may i nave been the request to the aged poet 1 he compiled.
 The day was celebrated by some for 1 ty different schools in the Western ! states, all writing him letters and re- l questing answers. He sent to each school some stanza with signature and best wishes. He was patient even with ! the man who wrote to him requesting that he would send his autograph in his town handwriting As T matter of fact, he had to leave many letters answered, even by his secretary, in his later years.
 The last of MT. Longfellow's poems, Ultima Thule" was written in 1880, when the poet was seventy three years of age. A little volume containing his last poems was published in 1882, l after the poets death, with the title of Tn the Harbor."
 Longfellow's last years were a fit ting close to the life he led In 1875 he read at Brunswick, on the ffftieth anniversary q his graduation, the beautiful poem ''Morturi Salutamus, It ended with the characteristic verse: For age is opportunity no less
 Than youth itself, though in another
 dress,
 And as the evening twilight fadel away
 The sky is filled with stars invisible
 by day."
 x On his seventy fourth birthday February 27, 1881, he wrote in hi diary:
 T am surrounded by roses and lilies
 Flowers everywhere
 And that which should accompan. u old age,
 t As honor love, obedience, troops o
 friends
 No poet was ever more beloved tl1a. f Longfellow, and none was ever nor < worthy of love. The expressions afte

 of the most striking was the p1acin e of his bust in the Poets Corner i y Westminster Abbey, London, in Marc1

THE Russo-GERMAN TREATY.

Even though it had been known that there were efforts underway for the con- ciusion of a new treaty between Germany and Russia, or an understanding in re- gard Co trade relations. 1t came with a decided surprise when it was disclosed that it had been completed and signed during the session Of the Genoa confer ence
 It Is aderstood that the two govern merts had a right Co better their rela-, tons and Germany could, if it desired, give recognition to the soviet govern ment. but it seems to have been entirely dis-esardsd that they were two of the nations Invited Co a conference for the purnose Of adjusting the economic condi- tons of Europe, in which Germany and Russia are v.taiIy interested. and that such @ step es they have taken at this time can be interpreted as @ direct slap Rt the conference plan and an entire dis regard of what mieft be accomplished by The nations acting Tn unison.
 Under the circumstances there is no surprise over the fact that there is an expressed loss of confidence in the rep resentativss of these countries. Tn fact it is @ step which makes 1t difficult for ths others t7 do otherwise than regard them with suspicion. It can be imag- iu-d what the feeling would have been had there been -rch thing done by twc ot the nations that had been invited tC The Wash rr-r conference.

HOUSING RELIEF.

While there continues to be so much need for increased housing facilities throughout the country there cannot fall to be interest in the action which has been taken In New York state by the leg islature in authorizing insurance compan- ies to invest ten per cent of their funds in the construction of new houses. Leg islation was necessary in order to permit the companies to use their funds to such an extent but 1t had been preceded by an agreement on the part of one com pany that s1o0,O0O,0OO would be spent for this purpose if the authority to do so could be obtained.
 The existing need Is for tenements that call for low rent The number Is limited and there Is no effort being made to supply the need. Under the new law 1t is expected that the insurance com pany will devote its funds to the erection of apartment houses in which the rent will not be over ss room month and under the initial effort the plan is to pro- vide for something like 1900 families at an outlay of not more than six million dollars.
 By the time these apartments are ready 1t will be possible to determine what the demand Is and whether such facilities as are offered meet the require ments of those who are seeking accom- modations.
 The permission that is granted for this undertaking, in connection with which 1t was understood at the time it was advo- cated that labor would cooperate by working at reduced rates if first option on the rents could be had by those SC employed, is for a limited period. What ever Is done must be done within the next two years but arrangements for i'm mediate operations indicate that this linn itation will have no effect if the under taking in properly received. That feature of 1t can be quickly determined as soor as the apartments are ready and the re- lief that has been so long needed prom ises to be soon obtained. It has required a long while to see how capital could bt interested in the housing proposition ana natural much interest is going to bt shown in the reception the result gets.

practice he observed upon a visit to Paris. His Highness, so the story goes, was attracted by the ballet at an opera and ordered the front row pur- chased for his harem. Finding that impossible he commanded all the lad ies of his very considerable establish mett to adopt the ballet costume. Other harems followed the fashion hint of the royal residence.

Child Training at Home
Hand Occupation With an Envelope

=. By Jenny B. Merrill Ph. D. =.
 It will interest mothers to know how much can be done with an envelope and pair Of scissors in the way of providing di- version. occupation and even instruction for children These hints apply to differ ent ages The first eight may be used with many children of five or six years of age, the rest with children from six to ten.
 1. Cut out the stamp neatly from the corner of an envelope. also cut out the post mark. Explain why there Is a cost mark There may be more than one.
 g. Keep stamps after cutting out, us ing them to make pretty borders and othe-. designs Mingle stamps of different col ors.
 8. Draw on the inside of the envelope the train that carries letter to us. or the rural delivery wagon, or the automobile.
 4. Cut off one or more clean corners of the envelope in the shape of triangle. Each triangle may be used as book mark by slipping 1t on the corner Of a leaf Decorate these triangles with simple designs Older children may paint a flow CT and younger children may mount a pretty little picture on each triangle
 5. Gut an envelope into pieces usin9 the creases as guides. Gut several and form designs with the pieces. Each piece may be colored with crayons paint CT col ored pencils,
 G. Fold the envelope so as to form 9 basket or any other object you choose. T. Draw a door and windows on 2 long envelope Press the corner of the en velape out, so that 1t appears to be 9 house. The doors and windows may also be cut so as to open and shut. Color the house.

 10. Open out the whole envelope and notice its shape, then try to make one ot the same size; first measure the paper to be used, place the envelope on the paper. trace 1t and then fold carefully. il. Practice, if old enough. addressing an envelope to a father, a, mother, to ar aunt. a cousin. or a friend. Also noun a stamp in the upper right-hand corner leaving a white margin around th' stamp. Explain the importance of usint the correct corner.
 12. Write the name of the man who's face is engraved on the one-cent stamp the two. and others If you have stamp of other denominations.

Somewhere, somehow, the Germans were getting messages through from the United States to the fatherland. That much was certain. Washington knew it beyond the shadow of doubt, but the way in which the messages were trans- mitted was mystery-dark and appar- entiy unfarhomable.
 This was in the days before America entered the war. in the days when the United States was, theoretically at least, a neutral nation. But Von Bernstorff Von Papen and the rest of the embassy at Washington were doing everything they could to further their schemes from this side of the Atlantic.
 But not even the secret service could penetrate the mystery of the messages. That these were flashed from the huge wireless towers on this side of the Atlan- tic, or relayed from the German radio stations, seemed fairly obvious. But how? They must be sending the stuff through the air" argued the chief of the secret service to Talbot, one of his best men, flor the simple reason that we've closed all their other. channels" Any idea as to the code they are using?" asked Talbot.
 None at all, but it's probably conceal | ed somewhere in the messages which they send out to the ships at sea-press bulletins stock quotations. and the like We've studied them carefully, but haven't been able to find a thing"
 How about the outburst from Nauen every morning?' "The only explanation for that seems to be that It's an attempt to fog the air so that ships and other towers can't get anything through"
 "Yes, but in that case would the Ger mans send 1t for an hour early every morning? Why not all day long? Ant why that hash of language that doesn't mean a thing? If they were trying tC fog things they'd wirelss the Bible ol Nietzsche or excerpts from some other i long book instead of that mess of mean. ingless rot"
 "AlI right" retorted the chief, eff yoy think there's clue there, go to it" But Talbot didn't begin his investiga tions with study of the Nauen hash He made his way at first to the labora tory of Charles F. ADgar deep sudden of wireless telegraphy. It was to Apga1 1 that he told his troubles and, when h. had finished, the expert leaned forwarC and picked up something from the tabl

CARING FOR THE DISABLED.

It has been steadily maintained that 1t was the purpose of the government to do everything possible for the disabled war veterans. There has been good evI- dence that It meant what it said, even though there have been instances where 1t has not been possible to provide ade- qUate quarters or such quarters as could be given approval were there sufficient time to prepare for the situation.
 Extensions of facilities have been made and new methods have been adopted for caring for the sick, for those who are mentally as well as physically disabled and for those who are in need of some trade. That the means of providing the soldiers with what they are entitled to have not been exhausted is evidenced by tho massage of the bill appropriating sr7 o0c ooH Tor the building ana opera tion of hospital centers. It is in keeping with what has been reiterated from time to time and should do much for those who have been placed in improper quar- ters or in institutions that were not fit ted to deal with the veterans.
 It may be some little time before it is possible for them to get the benefit of the new quarters but the hospitalization bill will end the handicaps and short comings that have caused criticism in the past and that were the basis for the rec concentrations made by an investigation committee and which were responsible for the appropriation just approved.
 The adoption of the bill means the re- moval of future delay in dealing with the known problems in connection with the rehabilitation work, and furnishes all the | evidence that is necessary that the gov
 ornment is living up to it's claims that the disabled would be properly cared for

IN THE DAYS NEWS
TEH,ERAN.

Though the American governments reported request for an open door policy in Persia will command atten- ton, Persia inevitably, because of its physical geography, presents closed door to many modern forms of com munication and commerce. says bulletin from the Washington, D. C., headduarters of the National Geo. graphic Society.
 "Teheran, it's capital represents a compromise. It is set far enough back from the Caspian Sea to render it difficult of approach, but it is on the rim of the Iranian plateau so that it may not be too inaccessible.
 An oriental city where women ad- here rigidly to the veil in the streets, but have adopted the costume of the ballet girl in their homes promise a medley of the West and the East. donkeys and trans, snake charmers and automobiles, ragged beggars and ladies of Parisian fashion from the foreign quarters, alley-like through fares of mud houses and broad, shaded streets of European residences, vend- ors sitting cross-legged, chewing mel on seeds, who would resent your pay ing the first price they asked. and modern drug stores where it would seem you might buy anything but drugs-such is composite Teheran.
 ''Teheran is Khaki. Khaki is a Persian word meaning muddy As you approach, its houses of mud blend into the treeless landscapes; when you are in it the tan of face and costume of it's people, the nondescript hues of its myriad donkeys, blend into the khaki picture.
