IN THE PUBLIC EYE

The Duke of Abercorn. who has been appointed governor of northern Ireland by King George. belongs to one of the oldest and most distinguished families in the Emerald Isle. Although the dtlkedom of Abercorn was created only 50 years ago the Han1ilton family, of which the dukes are descendants. has held titles since 1887, when the then head was made Baron of Paisley. The first authentic an- cestor of the family appears to have been a cercsin Walter FitsGiIberts whose name occurs frequently in the records about the yeaF 1894. The Irish branch of the family came from tiree sons of Claud Hamilton. who crossed hA.watsr and be- came the ancestors of Haaniltons of Beitrim and the yiscounts Boyne. The present Duke of Abercorn Is one of three peera who hold separate peerages IF England, Scotland and Ireland His Irtst residence, Barorscourt, located in County Tyrone. is one of the finest palaces on the island.

I always look forward to my Christ mas present from Aunt Rachel with keen interest for she is the only rich relative I have. I think every year that she may give me something very much worth while. and she often has bestowed hand some gifts upon me, but she has never settled any money upon me, as 1 should think she would like to do, for I am her only great-niece. This season she has laughed at every mention of Christmas and looked at me with such bright, twinkling eyes that I felt sure she had some most unusual surprise for me.
 T am going to give you and your Cousin Fannie what I think you each need" was the only response to my ques- tioning.
 It was with difficulty that I ooeyed fathers long established rule that no one should peep at the gifts by our plates on Christmas morning until the whole fam fly was assembled. for felt the greate& curiosity about Aunt Rarha's offering. must say that I was astonished to find book addressed to me in her writing with these words scribbled on the out side cover: Co. busy myself" It was a cookbook.

 The tet of the book forms a valuable contribution to the scientists store of in- formation about volcanism, mountain slides, floods, and kindred phenomena and is no less accarate for being written so that the lay reader will be fascinated by its word pictures. An amusing in- stance of thIs careful checking of'sll fact is related by Dr. Griggs who tells how a skeptical chemist. after learning of the proposed name, the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, set out methodically to count the columns of hissing steam over the panoramic cauldron for fear the name was an exaggeration.

AUTO LICENSE sUsprNs1oNs.


 From the department of motor vehi- eles comes the report that there were 1890 persons in this state whose licenses were suspended during the first eleven months of this year for various kinds ot' violations. This indicates an alert hess on the part of the authorities and an insistence by the department for re- Spect Of the regulations.
 One interesting feature in connection with this annouls, .sHieIt is the fact that tSa total is 506 greater for elevsa months of this year than it was for the entire twelve months 8 year ago. It il possible to infer from that that the sus- pensions of last year were not such as tC convince those who are disregardinr the laws that each and everyone is expect. ed to obey them, while 1t is also the fact that there is a much greater mum. ber of motor vehicles this year tnan there was year ago.
 Suspensions have been for varyiu: periods. For operating cars while un. der the influence of liquor a years sus, pension of the license sems to be tn, rule followed. Inasmuch as there were 112 more this year than there were last it doesn't appear to have placed the check upon such practice that 1: really demanded in the interest Of safe. ty in the highways. Happily up to tn, time of the report, there had been q lew less cases where suspensions wer' directed because of fatalities than ther, were year ago. That is a gratifying decrease. especially when 1t Is consid cred khat the number of cars has in creased, but even so the number is stil too large and every discourage getnen that can be brought to bear by the se pertinent to decrease the reckless driver, the one who drives when intoN cated, the. 'speedster and the chance taker will operate for the benefit of ev cry user of the highways.
 It Is no more protection than tn public is entitled to, and from the fac that the department is devotns it's eff forts with apparent good results in tha dSsct;en there are reasons for belierlnt that the continued application of th Same insistsnce with whatever addi tionaf penalty seems desirable will se a still further Improvement at the en, of nhother year.

DEALING WITH HAMPERS.

Every so often there comes from col ieges and universities stories conee~~ -- hazirgs that are decidedly disturbing. Each one call for action and apparently steps are taken to put an end to such practices, but it is only a short t1ne before similar outbreaks are again dis closed. In this respect the naval aead- eny at Annapolis has not been an ex- ception.
 Hazing there has given more or less trouble for leng lEsriod of time. There have been efforts to stop it, but the idea has been gained that inasnuct as the presence there of the n1idshipmen was more or less1 due to political pull, when appointments didn't happen to De made as the result of examinations, that tha: same pull could be relied upon to break down any severe discipline that might be considered necessary in order to en1 the practice. Many a good move t9r the benefit of the institution has thers- fore been sidetracked through bringing to bear of influence in the right direc- tion.
 Under such conditions drowning upon hazing at Annapolis amounted to noth- 1 ing. It was case for snappang the I fingers at discipline and putting faith in pull. At the last .disclosure that haz- ing had been resumed there was reason for the thorough investigation that fol. lowed, and now that it hos bFen accom- panied by the dismissal Of two rnidshlp men and the demotion of three more, =. recommended by those who heard thi testimony in the eases, one of the most effective methods for ridding the insti tuition of such discredatable practice. has been taken. It is an institution where much is made of discipline, bu l the desired effects are lost when tn
 impression is gained that political in fiuence win upset 1t.

felt, and such confidence will likewise inspire generous giving.
 The plight. of refugees, the helpless ness of orphans and the distress of families which have lost all their be- longings and are dependent upon such assistance for food as well as clothing cannot fail to make an appess ss tn season of the year that yin get the needed response.
 It is of the greatest importance -f there sAnn'd be agencies of the highest efficiency at the head of such work. But having that requirement amply provided for, inasmuch as the best has been O ta-led, it is quite important that they should be provided with the means # ca fying on the work which all are eager to declare should be done, and done as soon as possible.

 BoRAH's OPPOSITION.
 The opposition toward the ship sub sidy bill by Senator Borah is what was expected He has taken a position of obstruction in regard to this legislation that is in keeping with certain other activities on his part, which leads some outside his party to believe that it is nothing more than the groundwork for boosting his own candidacy if the pres idency Borah doesn't seem to be aN' to bring his efforts into the right kind Of a lfmelight to please himself without urging a personal program, which pro- gram is of course in direct opposition to the administration.
 Borah howls over the claim that the merchant marine bill wac unrA~cff7'rr treated by the voters in the recent cleo. | ton, when as matter of fact A was one of the things about which little ol nothing was heard, and certainly il l would be folly to believe that any can. didate who was elected received suppo-1 l at the polls upon the merits of that s sue alone
 He takes the view that the idea of z subsidy has been frowned upon by. tn, people. AS a policy that may be trIt but he must be aware of the fact tha it has been resorted to and continues tt be used although as it happens in taos cases the name subsidy Is ES@stal..:: kept out of the discussion.
 The unfortunate fact is that sucl men like Borah, who kick up a grea cloud of dust to obscure the facts in case and bear down heavily on thos 1 things that are not so, could not be pu in charge of administering such joI as is required of the chairman of tk shipping board. It would be interestini to see how he would acquit llirnsel when confronted with the actual fact in the case and not be able to dodg behind claims that have no bearing e I facts that are not so,
 From what Borah had to say agains the merchant n1arnle bill, it doesn't ap
 oear that he damaged it to any grea
 extent. There are legislative matter which are fortunate in having certsi persons oppose them. what is hltend4 to be destructive criticism often work } like a boomerang.

 The farmer who owned the barn watched the artist at work with great interest. When the painting was done he said: ''T want to buy that; how much is it?"
 When the artist quoted the modest sum of a few hundred dollars for one of his masterpieces the farmer e1acu lated: My stars aliveI Just for a pic. ture of my barn? Well, I guess not I'd give you the barn itself and every. thing in 1t, for that sum"
