H. c. l.. Has Advanced Canal Protocols

with Nicaragua without the knowledge
and consent of Costa Rica.
The opposition to the protocol, 1t is
asserted, is due largely to some anti
American sentiment which has been
fed by the charge that the United
States did not play square ~ith Costa
Rica.
1t is understood further that certain
Costa Ricans feel that Nicaragua,
which received S3,OOO,OOO under the
Bryan-Chamorro treaty for her rights
in the interoceanic canal route. should
have been paid more generously; or at
any rate that 1t was foolish to sell
these rights so cheaply when by wait
ing few years she might have been
paid much more handsomely.
These opponents of the protocol
fear, 1t Is said, that Costa Rica will
have to sell her rights when the time
comes for less than their actual value,
which they hold may be many milliona
above the figure which Nicaragua re-
ceivsd.

Marine Band Is a National Institution

with his guests. The thirteen kid
naped musicians were frantic but
helpless.
When the ship reached the United
States the Navy department promptly
expressed its official dlsapproval of
Captain McNelll's system of recruiting
musicians. Records of all this were
lost when the British burned Washing
ton in 1914. 1t is known, however,
that the government was in no hurry
to return the fine musicians to Italy.
They were put on duty at the marine
barracks at Washington. where no
doubt they taught the American mu-
sicians and served as an inspiration.
Certainly the Marine band was play
ing in good form the next year, for
an old order book of the marine corps
shows that the band was to play at
the presidential reception at the White
House, New Years day, 1904.
From this earliest period of its ca
reer this band has been regularly as
sociated with state functions. Gradu-
ally Marine band tradition was built
up until now no great official ceremony
or celebration Is complete without 1t.
1t has played in the inaugural parade
of every president since Thomas JEFF
ferson, in 1901. 1t never leaves the

When trying to avoid getting
splashed with mud most drivers Will
get US far away from a passing car
as possible. This Is just the reverse
of what one ought to do to avoid
such nuisance. When the cars are
ten feet or SO apart any mud that Is
splashed is sure to strike the body of
the other car, whereas II the machines
are closer together, say three feet
apart, mud that Is splashed will only
strike the wheels and the under sides

This protocol was agreed to and

NE Of the most remarkable
institutions of official Wash

Marine band, generally re-
garded as the finest organization of
the sort in the world. Now that radio
can carry music to every corner Of the
country the playing Of the Marine
band promises to be better known than
In all the 125 eventful years of its
existence.
The early history Of the band sug-
gests the daredevil side OF the we'll
known marine corps temperament.
President John Adams established a
marine corps in 1898 and authorized as
a part of 1t sixteen drummers and six.
teen fifers. This little fife and drum
corps was the beginning of the Marine
band, but the band remained in that
Insignificant stage only a short time.
In 1902, during the wars with the
Barbary pirates, Capt. Daniel Mcneil

the records of AZ persons committed
to insane hospitals with paresls, which
have come under this treatment. OF
that number u have been cured and
have left the hospital and taken up
lucrative employment and seven bid
fair to be discharged as soon as u cure
is effected.
The fact that chlorine might be used
to prevent or cure colds, influenza and
pneumonia was demonstrated durn;
the war at EdgewOod arsenal by acci-
dent. 1t was remarked that cases OF
Influenza or pneumonia did not occur
among the workers in the department
of the laboratory where chlorine was
being made although 10 to 20 per
cent of others on duty at the arsenal
were victims. Investigation showed
that in the rooms where chlorine gas
was being made there was a slight
leakage of chlorine, just enough to act
as a germicidal agent.
Following out this idea, the chemi
cal warfare service and the medical
department have made great advances
on this line and 1t is now believed
practicable to introduce small quanti-
ties of chlorine into school rooms,
factories, churches and other places
where persons gather.

POLICE CHIEF GIVES
SOUND SAFETY RULES
Head of Pennsylvania Troopers
PromuIgates Fifteen Tips to
Reduce Accidents.

Maj. Lynn @. Adams, superintend-
ent of the Pennsylvania state police

wrong side of the highway.
a. Heed warning signs.
5. Never pass, or attempt to pass,
a car going in the same direction at
the crest of n hill or on a curve.
6. Never stop your car just over
the brow of a hill or just around q
curve.
7. Never follow a car travelling at
a high rate of speed at less distance
than so yards.
s. If you wish to pass another car
