Mr. Mclaughlin OF Michigan-wi.i the
gentleman reserve his point of order?
Mr. Stafford-I will reserve IL.
Mr. McIaughlin-The committee made
the recommendation to increase the sal
airy $500, took testimony on It and con-
sidered 1t very carefully. In our judg-
ment the Increase In salary ought TO be
made for an official who has been In ths
department, as the chairman says, for
long time at the head of this bureau. Hs
has performed able and faithful services.
The salary Is less than that paid TO the
heads of other bureaus. We felt. after
listening to all that was said. and with
knowledge of the work he has been doing
and has done, the salary proposed IL moi
too large.
Mr.. stanord-How long has he been
there?
Mr.. Lever--He has been there forty-twe
years.
Mr. Stafford-what Is his agef
Mr.. Leyer-Oyer sixty. perhaps nearer
seventy, but he is still vigorous ano abe

greatest entomologists in the world
The Chairman-The point Of order ID

Doctor Nelson's salary was reached.
The secretary of agriculture recon-
mended an increase of his pay from

Mr.. Lever-Mister Chairman, this gen.
tleman. whose name is Nelson. has been
in the service of the department since
November, 1890. He has served as chief
field naturalist from 1901 to 1912. and was
assistant in charge of the biological in

the place OF Doctor Henshaw.
Mr.. Stanord-And the salary has been

Mr.. Stafford-What is his age?
Mr.. Lever-I should think that Doctor
Nelson is round fifty years of age.
Mr.. Stafford-He is not superannuated.
Mr.. Lever-Oh, no; he Is very vigor-

Doctor Howard was refused his In

Now, as matter of fact, Doctor
Howard is more than two years young

ments are reluctant to enter a service
where the measure of the value OF
their services is set down in any such
haphazard and casual way?

Early Matching is of more Importance
according to the comments of poultry
men, than the figures in the table in
dicate 1t appears that relatively few
flock owners are familiar with the ad-
vantages of early Matching, but those
who do their Matching early find it
distinct benefit For instance, one
farmer says, Last year all Of my
chickens Matched after the first of June
we're runts. Those before that were
normal and were laying in October.
The same care and feed were given to
all of them" Another observes, "When
l get my chicks Matched in April and
May I do not have runts In my flock"
Still another estimates that one-third
of late matches are runty. Hatch no
chicks later than May L." he says.
Of equal interest are the warnings
against inbreeding. 1--WE have 10 runts
in our poultry" is the statement OF a
Virginia farmer, who adds. 1--WE buy
purebred cocks from different strain
every year" keep purebred fowls and
change the sire every year" is the IN
junction of another poultryman, and
his experience is typicn q many others.
Farmers experiences with early
Matching tally with the results OF ex-
periments by the bureau Of animal
Industry OF the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture. In these expert
ments the early Matched chicks showed
a marked superiority over those pur-
posely hstched late. There was q
noticeably steady degradation IN size
and type OF the late chicks compared
with those hatchsd early
From these side lights Il T. easily
seen thar the questions of runrness
and good livestock management are
closely related 0pd are fled up giih /
economic factors ~ great importance

JIMMY BY Gilbert w. Gabriel.

TT should be noted at the outset
and remembered as one reads
this book that Mr.. Gabriel is
first Of all poet. delicate dreamer
of dreams and seer of visions. But
here he has clothed them tangibly
and given them a body solid enough
not merely to be seen clearly. but to
enable these elemental folk from a
true fairyland - perform charm
ingly upon a definitely everyday
stage. They never lose their glamour,
but it is always a cloak. a gorgeous
garment to cover human realities.

even so. there seems small excuse
for the unpreparednessf of the clos
ing tragedy, which has about it No
element of the inevitable, such as
is rightly demanded in a so-called
unpleasant ending" AS for the
whole hectic episode of Hayden, the
ex-captain who blundered, while one
quite sympathizes with Cutmore's
very human resentment, it is diff
cult to share the authors admira-
ton of her hero as a knight born
out of time, both when he nearly
killed Hayden and when, later, for
Betty's sake. he resists completing
the job. The old knightly standard

also shot through with a subtle
humor, which sometimes sharpens
to mordancy, in an occasional aside,
reminding one that Mr.. Gabriel is
also highly proficient in other lit
erary fields than the fanciful The
whole thing is a very adroit per-
formance.
The stodgily matter of fact reader
might as well be warned off; this is
no book for the unimaginative. for
the unfortunate person who can sec
in the rainbow no more than a fac.
of nature of some interest to the
scientist and pretty enough to look
at. but with no further suggestive
ness. 1t is not even for the reader
who is capable of thinking of the pot
of gold at the rainbow's foot. Its
treasure is not so crassly material
as that. Indeed. one may quote from
the verses of no less a person than
Jennie Raftery REM. the Jimmy of
he book, which precede the chap
ters:
Where the rainbow pours its bold
Colors to the promised earth.
You shall find no crock of gold
Only this: the glowing birth
or some newer rainbow, fleeing
Past the realms of all your seeing!
The story follows the rainbow to
precisely that very happy ending.
But Jimmy. or more sedately, Miss
Jennie Raftery. and later on Mrs.
Benjamin Benvenuto REM. and BeE-
jamin himself are really quite every
day folk when you look at them
soberly. Jennie was a school teacher
in an East Side public school, and
Benjamin had been a newspaper
hack artist until the war gathered
him in. The story opens with his
return and rehabilitation, followed
at once by his marriage. which is
itself performed in a sufficiently ro-
mantle fashion in a White Mountain
village, leading to a rapturous honey
moon in a hillside bungalow. Thus
far it is chiefly the familiar path of
young love. happily reckless in its
poverty of all things save love and
faith in love as all sufficient. Jennie
is poetess "a real one. too, as the
samples of her verse ldemonstrate) /.
and Benjamin is an artist. who
aspires to paint some day like
Raphael. and they are very much in
love and married one might
think. to equip a romance.
But they dream OF more. for they
aspire to find the lost sonnets of
Raphael. the sonnets written exclu-
sively for la Fornarina, which, as
the erudite and trustworthy historian
Robert Browning records in meas
ured cadences, vanished some four
centuries ago. The quest becomes
something more than a symbolic af-

THE HOUSE OF SOULS. By Arthur
0aehen. Alfred A Knopf.

4alhCu AiIfcQ A hHODI.
tTTTHEN Mrs. Nixon, in Arthur
wv Machen's THE House of
Souls" related to her niece
Mary Darneli. the story of the indi-
cations of her aged husbands al
legged infidelity the climax came with
the dandelion incident. On that oc
casion. walking in the country with
her husband. Mrs. Nixon noticed a
mysterious whistle that followed
them. Finally. after she had climbed
over stile she turned round and
her husband had vanished. Panic
stricken. she called his name. and
presently he reappeared with the
nonchalant explanation that there
were some flowers he could never
pass When Mrs. Nixon saw that
he carried merely a dandelion "she
felt as if her head were going round. y
and both Mary and Mary's husband
were equally astounded when she re-
lated it.
From this attitude one would
acutely infer that Mr.. Machen is not
an American. In our suburban and
rural society the dandelion is no
longer a common weed but an ar
IDENTIFY awaited means to an. end. and
any American would be ,:kely to de-
sert his wife momentarily at the mo-
mentous appearance of the first
dandelion of the year. or. more prac-
tieally. to bid her order the yeast
cake and the brown sugar while he
gathered in the herb before some
thirsty competitor had CLEANED tho
field.
In Mr.. Machen's stories. laid in
unyolsteadized England, many COM
mon things are made to assume an
uncommon significance, but dande-
lion by the rivers brim is to him
merely a simple dandelion. In fact.
In this case. the whole dandelion in
eident proved to be only a figment
of Mrs. Nixon's disordered brain-a
blind trail, as it were, rather than a
blind tiger. To the average reader
it is not the only blind trail i'm the
volume. for the authors method IS
likely to be ambulatory
Mr.. Machen seems concerned prin-
cipally with his mysterious back
grounds of faery or diabolism. I'm
fortunately he seems less at ease in
the realm of faery than Mr.. Chester
/ ton or MIR. Barrie. and compare
/ lively stranger beside MIR. James
Stephens or Lord Dmsany. He does
not trouble to give the reader any
! particularly sympathetic characters
to accompany him along the strange
by-paths he loves. and in fact the
only persons he depicts clearly in the
four tales that make up his volums
are the city clerk Darnell and his
wife, who are priggishly discourag-
ing. Finally. he refines his atmos-
phere to the point of attenuation.
In the third story. however. The
Great God Pan" Mr.. Machen has
achieved a thriller which should be
calculated TO make any ones hair
stand on end. Here he employs most
effectively the somewhat involved
structure habitual to his method, and
the result is a succession of climactic
strokes of horror.
