NEW YORK, January 22.-The dem.

the presidential campaign in Novem-
Der with a platform calling for taxa

bonus and legislation to aid labor
and agriculture, and a general pro-
gram opposed to class government
William Jennings Bryan, thrice can
didate for the presidency, declared
last night at Il dinner given by James
w. Gerard, former ambassador to Ger
many.
The primary issue in the campai ign
which he predicted would be the mos,
hotly contested in many years, Mr.
Bryan said, would be taxation. The
democratic substitute for the Mellon
tax reduction bill, he declared. gave
greater reductions and ''dlscrimipa at
holders of large incomes" He ex-
pressed the opinion that party lines

New York, March 22.-Golf widows
in this section will soon have their
problem solved. This increasing set
no longer sill be forced to haunt
clubs and play only at certain hours
prescribed by male officials. Just as
soon as the weather turns favorable
for the pastime of swatting the little
pill over the landscape the first golf
club in the United States to be oper-
ated exclusively for the fair sex Will
be opened at Glen Cove, Long Island.
1t will be known as the Women's
National Golf Links, and the pres
ence of masculine players will be
only on invitation.
The links are being tried out
now, but the formal opening date
will not take place until next month.
The course is Of championship
length and is a replica OF the fea-
iure holes of the leading co rses,
with few undermining changes.
Most OF the ideas for the first
women's links were gathered by
Miss Marion Hollins, former ma
tional title holder, who Travelled ex-
tensively to study various courses.
When the women begin to operate
their club they will have the satisfac-
ton of matching the noted Elm Tree
club of Chicago, which is so exclu-
sively male that signs are displayed

Victory Achieved in
Keeping Soul Young

Byron reminds us that "time writes
no wrinkles on the azure brow Of the
ocean," but can we say that there is
any other brow anywhere upon which
he does not place his tell-tale marks?
We look into the glass with a close
scrutiny some day and the face that
greets us there shows unmistakable
signs Of his passing.
And yet we wonder If it is quite
right to blame all that we see in the
glass on Time, when we think of the
needless worry and fret with which
we crowd our lives. But the brow of
a mans souls it not possible to keep
1t free from the burrows and sears and
wrinkles that are left elsewhere?
Even if we have to allow that the
weight Of the years and the years
cares and responsibilities and disap-
pointments must bend down the frame
a little, and take from the step some
thing of its elasticity, might we not
hope that the soul would be able to
keep young and fresh and buoyant
through all the years?
If we could manage to keep the soul
! young, why need we care what else
may happen? If we could learn the
secret of how that could be done
would it not be one Of the finest les
sons we had learned all our life

Italian Genius Came to
Aid of British Library

The British museum library is the
first library of the modern world.
Like many other British institutions,
it owes much of It's greatness to a
foreigner, Anthony Panizzi, a renegade
Italian. Born at MOdena in 1897,
Panizzi became a student at Parma,
and then joined a revolutionary move
ment in his native duchy.
The revolution failed and Panizzi
fed; first to Switzerland and then
s across Europe, arriving in a destitute
condition in London. He became a
teacher of Italian, received an appoint
ment at the library, and came into
power as its keeper in the first year OF
Queen Victories reign.
At that time the library, which had
been founded in 1853, was languishing
for want of intelligent supervision. 1t
contained valuable collection of
some 100000 books, but the CatalOgu-
ing and arrangements for reference
were bad.
When Panizzi left its service, some
thirty years later, it contained 100000
volumes, housed under a single dome
This dome, which is second only in size
to that of st. Peters, Rome, was one
of the many clever ideas of Panizzi
who was altogether q remarkable char
acter. He was knighted some tim'
before his death in 1879.

There are many schemes for mark
ing poison bottles, but here is one Of
the safest and best. BY the simple
means of pasting a strip Of sandpaper
over the face Of bottles containing poi
son, says Science and Invention, the
danger Of getting a bottle by mistake,
even on account of darkness, is elm
mated. Persons grasping the bottle
viii receive no discomfort, but will
get sufficient warning as to its poison
Gus contents. Most Of the body of
the bottle should be covered with
sandpaper. A small label designat-
ing the poison should be pasted some
where above the sandpaper.

Experiments ShOrU HOtO
Octopus Secures Prey

Experiments have been made In a
specially devised tank, in order to test
the truth of many stories told Of
octopi attacking human beings and
dragging them to the sea bottom. In
the tank with the octopus expert
mented with there was placed a "dum-
my" of the same specific gravity as a
man, and this was baited with crab.
Attracted by this tempting mOrsel,
the octopus made for the figure
seized 1t in its powerful tentaclesi
and tried to drag it under water, but
without success. 1t then went to one
side of the tank and, holding onto
the edge of the glass with some OF
it's arms, it dragged its prey beneath
the surface and crushed the craE
shell with its powerful jaws.
It is believed that these expert
ments afford proof that the octopus
can drag it's victims far below the
surface of the water only near rocks
to which it can attach its suckers
There is one spot in the Bay Of Maple:
where these creatures attain a large
size, and now and then a fisherman
is reported missing. 1t is thought tina
such disappearances are due to tn,
unfortunate mans being caught by tn,
leg by a concealed octopus ant
dragged under water. In the case o
such repulsive and powerful crea
ture as the octopus, it is difficult t
separate fact from fiction.
