Tribute to jewish chanters.

Caruso is quoted as saying: II have
discovered that the Jewish chanters
employ a peculiar method of intoAa
ton and vocalization in their service.
They are %unexcelled in the art OF
shifting the melody, of picking UP a
new key, Of modulating their ritual
chant, and Of overcoming vocal din
culties that may occur in the words
rather than ia the melody itself. For
this reason l visit Jewish synag0gueG

Average Height of human Race.

The average present height of the
human race is about 50 inches, but the
average is produced by measuring both
the races which are exceedingly tall
and those which are excessively short.
The ~so-called gigantic races, of which
the Scotch of Galloway still stand al
the head, are offset by the little peo-
pies of central Africa.

1t was a French inventor, with a
tender heart for bicyclists, chauffeurs,
fishermen and wandering artists, who
contrived a form of umbrella for pro-

be easily and solidly attached TO the
shoulders so as to leave the arms and

NATIONAL LEGISLATION

One OF the first acts of congress In
the year was the passage Of the foreign
debt refunding bill, with a limit for
payment set at % years. The house
in January also passed the Dyer anti
lynching bill, but II got no further until
December, when the Democrats In the
senate flibustered II to death. The
cooperative marketing bin was enact
ed in February. On March % the
house passed the soldiers bonus bin
and, after a long and bitter fight, II
went through the senate on August 81.
President Harding had warned con-
gress the measure was entirely unac-
ceptable to him, chiefly because It pro-
vided no means Of raising the money
TO pay the bonus, and on September 10
he vetoed Il. The house OVERRIDE the
veto, but the senate sustained II. The
agitation for such legislation was in
cessant, however. and new bills were
introduced before the year closed.
Appropriation olls for the army and
navy. providing for $4,000 and $4,000
enlisted men, respectively, were
passed; and $17.OOO,OOO was .appropri-
ated for soldiers hospitals.
The tariff revision bin OF course
took a long time In the making. II
finally was completed and was signed
by the President on September 21.
One notable feature is a provision CIV
Ing the President power TO lower or
raise certain rates when he thinks con-
ditions OF foreign trade warrant.
Congress adjourned on September
80, and as II had failed TO take any &C
ton on a ship subsidy measure, the
President called an extra session 20
meet on November 20. mainly TO con-
slider such a bill. The house passed
II on November 20. The extra session
merged into the regular session on De
cember 4.
