The following is a brief summary
Of the most important news of the
world for the seven days ended
April IL:
rbe British Empirc.-On April 1
the labor government was defeated
in the British commons, 221 to 212,
on the much-debated rents bill, but
the dispatches fail to make the cir
cumstances clear, except that mucn
passion was aroused and violent Ian
guage was banded.
The government did not see fit to
resign, but gave its support to new
bill dealing with the same subject
and entitled prevention of Evic-
TONS" in the hope of getting IL
amended to its satisfaction
Debate on tho new bill has been
proceeding with even greater vlo-
lence than on the rejected one. In
response to insulting language and
a threatening gesture, Col. Amory,
formerly first lord Of the admiralty,
landed one on the jaw OF q TABOR
member. The prime minister mas NOT
shown his customary address In the
recent debating; he is probably over
worked.
The South African parliament is to
be dissolved. This is important, as
there is a strong likelihood that a
nationalist majority will be orougnt
in by the new elections, In wnich
case the nationalist agitation FORA
republic may be revived.

to be relinquished it does not follow
that all should be left to German good

troll not the less effective because con-
trived not to embarass normal eco
nomic functioning. That control must
be rigid precisely in the degree that
German cooperation may be lacking.
The adjustable character of the pro-
posed control is one of the striking
features of the plan.

Do You Have lunches:

1t is often said of successful men
that they have wonderful lunches
They make decisions on the spur of
the moment, and often their first de-
cisions are the most valuable. This
may or may not be true, but if it is
true, it is due to the fact that these
first decisions are more spiritual and
less material than the later ones.
When mans motives and purposes
are right, and his life is controlled
by desire to be of service, then he
possesses an unconscious spiritual
power which directs him in making
decisions. With a first decision this
spiritual power probably has more
chance to direct than at a later time,
when the material considerations pre-
dominate.
This need of decision applies to all

Old Rothschild Bank
Building Still Stands

Although no Rothschild is now in
the banking business in Frankfort-on-
the Main, where the foundations Of the
far-fung financial establishment were
laid In the Eighteenth century, the old
bank building still stands on the cor
ner Of the Fahrstrasse, near the en-
trance to the old ghetto, as a perpetual
reminder Of the past. The following
description of its present state was
written by Max Osborn in the Vos-
sische Zeitung:
"Phe house was used for the bank
ing business from top to bottom until
the death Of Baron Wilhelm Roth
schild in 1901. Then it stood empty,
was used during the war for chart
table purposes and two years ago was
presented to the city by Baroness
Mathilde, Wilhelm's widow, the last Of
the Frankfort Rothschilds.
"The room occupied by the heads of
the firm and. the manager remains just
as it was. At the window. two beau
tiful writing desks, opposite to each
other, for the all-powerful ones them
selves, but-separated by green
screens! For the last two Frankfort
Rothschilds, Baron wilhelm and his
brother, Mayer Karl, could not see
each other in a figurative sense, and
didn't care to do so in reality.

Blunders in the Bible

There are two grammatical errors
in the Bible: "Whom do men say that
I ann" mark S:27), and "A FOOLS
wrath Is heavier than them both"
prov. 7:3). OF misprints, the Bible
has had plenty; and some Of them
give their names to highly priced edi-
tions-the Vinegar Bible, the Wicked
Bible, the Wing Bible ('blessed are
the place-makers') and the rest; and
one or two have been found even in
the modern authorized version. We
all know, too, the fundamental pun
of the Bible-"Tu es Petrus." I do
not think the Bible contains any split
infinitive; but there is an unblushing
bull In Isaiah: "Then the angel Of
the Lord went forth and smote In the
camp of the Assyrians hundred and
four score and five thousand; and
when they arose early in the morn
ing, behold, they were all dead
corpses."-37 :36.-Prof. w. L. Phslps

House Will Look Odd Without Gillett

The house at Washington will look
queer after March A next. Cause why
on that day Frederick Huntington
Gillett Is due to move into the other
chamber as senator from Massachu-
sets. He beat Senator David Walsh,
you will remember, In the election.
Why, do you know that Gillett was
first elected to the Fifty-third congress
in 1892 and has been there ever since?
That means 16 continuous terms. In
other words he tops the list of repre-
sentatives in point Of continuous serv-
Ice. 1t also beats any senate record.
The late Senator Henry G. Lodge and
he began their service the same year.
Since the death Of Senator Lodge Sen
ator Francis e. Warren has the longest
record Of continuous service. In addi-
ton, Gillett has been speaker of the
house since May 10, 1919.
Senator-elect Gillett was born In
Massachusetts, in 1851. He took de-

His surprise was heightened, as at

NEGLECTED GENIUS

ONE of the best-known of modern
poets, Ill and destitute after a life
time of toll, announces cheerfully that
be is emphatically not a neglected
genius.
True, he has no money, but 1t was
not money that he worked for. His
fame is perhaps not as great as his
talent merited, but he did not work
for fame. He worked for the Joy of
working, and that was enough.
He looks back upon life feeling that
1t brought him all that he could ask.
Genius is not neglected any more
than diamonds are neglected, and for
the same reason. This man, had he
chosen, could now be comfortably sup
piled with money.
We believe that he should have
been. Every man owes it to himself
to gain independence, and money
means independence. Our poets celeb
rtty could have been coined into
enough cash to ease his old age, but
If he preferred to neglect his oppor-
tunities it is nobody's business but his
own.
1t is his absence of bitterness that
is worth needing. He has discovered,
what every other man should discover,
that no earnest effort is wasted. He
has learned that people are only too
ready to recognize genius when they
find it, and to reward it when they
recognize it.
Indeed, so keen is the hunt for
that hundreds Of near-geniuses
grow prosperous in America as soon
they betray the least sign of talent.

men who can write. Great corpora

VOICE WITH FIVE OCTAVES
Austrian Utters Notes Whose Vibra-
tions Range From AZ Up to
LAO in a Second.

AT a recent meeting of the Austrian
society of experimental phonetics In
Vienna, Doctor Rethi presented
Michael Prita, age forty-four, whose
voice possesses the remarkable range
Of five complete ~octaves.
The deepest note uttered by this sing
er was a bass F corresponding to AZ
vibrations per second and two octaves
lower, therefore, than the deepest note
which can be produced on the violin.
The only previous record of so low
a tone in the human voice is that of
a bass singer named Fischer, who lived
in the early part of the Eighteenth
century. Prita also rendered upper @
with it's full artistic value.
Beyond that the notes passed into
the head register and into a falsetto
resembling a soprano, says the Eng
fish Mechanic quoted in the Scientific
American. The highest notes emitted
the upper f (demi-semi-quaver),
and on exceptional occasions upper A
(demi-semi-quaver). corresponding to
l, 740 vibrations per second which is
one note higher than the highest sung
by Patti.
