that II did not actually carry out

publican leader, declared an enlist

Others, however, including Rep.

Chairman Madden OF the appro-
priations committee declared II con.

Stag Sleeping Car Latest.

Having heard the call of the man who wants
to make himself at home while travelling, the
Pullman company has produced the stag
sleeping car. If there is one thing more than
another-uness it be snoring-whch has
seemed to need experimenting on by the Pull
man company, it is an opportunity for men
passengers to stag it about bed time. The
home man wants to take off his coat and waist
coat, his cravat, his collar, shoes-maybe even
his shirt-and trot around getting ready for
bed as though he were in his own family cir
Gle. Always in the past, however, there has
been a bunch of straight-laced women sitting
about, looking with coldly disappearing eyes
at any masculine undertaking to prepare to
retire on the installment plan. The stag pull
man sleeper just fills the bill. No women are
allowed of course. Not only can the male
berth holders kick their shoes off without get
ting behind a curtain to do it, but they have
the freedom of the car for saying what they
think, as forcibly as they think it.
This is much more to mans taste than
having to hide his face in pillow before won
dering why he waited until train time to buy
his sleeper ticket when he knew three days
in advance he would require one. The head of
the family who chuck half his raiment,
ease his suspenders off his shoulders, feel the
sure of imprisoning shoes, call to the porter
at the other end of the car to come hurrying
and be delightfully."- quick about it, sit around
in his underwear until after midnight and then
go to bed without need of ducking from one
curtain to another while going from the wash
room to his berth in the middle of the coach
will always by the stag sleeper This
is service, indeed. Talk about corporations
being heartless. No man who likes to undress
right after dinner and read the papers and
half a novel and play few games and smoke
a pipe and figure up the days profits and
losses and eat quarter of a pie before going
to bed can be made to believe anything bad of
a concern which provides a stag sleeping car
for affording all the comforts of home to the
man travelling by rail

Defeat for Japan's Plans.

Apparently Japan's hopes of Intervention in
China have been ended by the defeat of the
Manchurian uprising by the Chinese army
Japan was seeking another pretext to tighten
its hold upon the Chinese republic. The jap
anese having won the admiration of the world
by their heroism in the war with Russia in
1905, have been capitalizing it ever since but
the willy Nippon then and there laid plans to
prevent a recurrence of that or any other war
not 10 his liking and his first territorial grab
was Corea- The story of Japans occupation
of that unhappy land is a blot upon its escutch-
con, but it has served to awaken the world to
the fact that whatever the island empire wants
1t is quite likely to take so long as it can be
done without the necessity of war with first
class power. Japan is a great stickler for ap-
pearances and for observing national proprie-
ties. 1t thus keeps its diplomatic skirts clean
and is able to face the world. But an oriental
is an oriental always. And for ways that are
dark and tricks that vain they are unsur-
passed. These things apply to the japanese in
their dealings with the peoples about them.
What the outcome of the Chinese question will
be remains to be seen. but it is an amazing
thing that China has been able to withstand
the assaults and jealousies Of envious neigh
oors Tor so many thousand years Her very
neipiessness appears to have been her strongest

Cock Robins Orchestra.

Those who are awake at the peep of dawn
these spring mornings have fine opportunity
in rural surroundings of noting the talent for
leadership displayed by the robin. At the
first faint coloring of the eastern sky Cock
Robin is alert. His first note is a short not
unmelodious summons to his orchestra There
upon his companions in trees and shrubs at
tune their voices in preparation for the full
throated chorus which soon fills the air. 1t is
pity that the robin is silent during his trav-
els in southern lands in winter. At certain per-
iods Of his migrauons he was considered
game bird in parts of the south and his red
breast was conspicuous in the markets of New
Orleans, where he was bought and sold Just
as the quail and jacksnipe are. A valient
fighter, sweet singer, and as full of the Joy
of life as any living creature, Cock Robin is
delight to every lover of nature

Since Mt Vernon has not been taken over

any other prominent American will be pur-
chased by the United States. Recognizing this.
the owners of Monticello, near Charlottesville
Va, have abandoned all thought of the prop
erty becoming national shrine through gov

barks on a policy Of buying property of this
kind it will be difficult to draw the line on the
limits to which the policy shall be pursued.

The Straw Hat.

The summer bonnet for men appears
The first one excites as much curiosity and
as much comment this spring as it did 20 years
ago. The poverty of our resources in con-
versation is never better illustrated than in
the spring of the year when the first straw
hat comes into view and every one breaths a
sigh OF joy for something new to talk about
II for only day The makers of straw hats
for men predict this summer will be the best
season they have ever had. There will be a
reduction in the prices of the better grades
but not so much in the prices of the cheaper
ones. They will continue to remain one of the
cheapest articles in mems wearing apparel
This is good news for the fellow who expects

will take off some of the curse.

The Protein Problem.

Proteids are complex combina-
tions Of carbon. hydrogen, oxygen
and nitrogen, and sometimes sui
phur or phosphorus or iron, but
the nitrogen is the element that
distinguishes proteid substance
from other animal or vegetable
cell substances. The plants seem
to have no particular difficulty
about assimilating their proper ra-
ton of nitrogen, provided enough
of it is supplied in the soil. The
animals appear to get theirs from
plants and from animal prey. Wild
! or unciviliZed man apparently has
no protein problem, or at any rate
such scientific studies of unciviliz-
ed man as are available do not in
dictate that the wild man quarrels
with his heterogeneous metabolism.
Civilized or ultra civilized man is
the unhappy culprit The protein
problem is the tame mans burden.
1t actually seems that the more ar
tificial our mode of life and the
further we PROFESSOR is it retro
gress p from natural life, the
greater becomes the problem of as
similating nitrogen. Yet l am not
so sure of that either. Perhaps it
would be more nearly correct to
say the further away from nature
we travel the greater the loan of
nitrogen We throw upon metabol-
ism. Bringing this down to a plain
er level, the further we withdraw
from nature in our artificial lux
urious living the greater the pro-
portion of meat stuffs we eat.
All modern prophets preach less
meat and urge US to turn back to-
ward natural eating-to retrun to-
undenaturized food, such as whole
wheat bread instead of the dead
stuff that has come to stand for
bread today. But the voice of the
health preacher is lost in the will
derness. The food purveyors of the
nation raise a chorus that browns
the voice in the wilderness, and the
people at large consume con-
stantly increasing proportion of
meat stuffs and a constantly more
sophisticated or manipulated diet
as whole. Indeed, any one who |
attempts to turn back toward nat
ural food is popularity stigmatized !
as a nut"
The protein problem appears to |
grow more formidable as we speed |
along on our reckless adventurous
way. And meantime that joy Kill !
Ter, the mortality table, procIaims |
that men are dying off at middle
age in startlingly greater ratio
compared to total mortality than
they did generation ago At mid
die age a man ought to be at his
acme. From 40 to 80 a man ought |
to do his greatest work in the
world. Yet it is just at this ma
turity of life that the steadily in
creasing degenerative diseases get
