McAdoo Suggestion Of Referen. dunn On Entry Into World Af-
 fairs Termed Ridiculous

PEORIA, H., Feb 22. Opposition to the League of Nations, the World Court of International Justice and all other instruments for American co-0p- eration in world affairs was the key note of a Washington Day address here tonight by Senator James A. Reed of Missouri before the Creve Occur club.
 He urged the policy. of uncompromis- ing political isolation enunciated by Washington in, his farewell address 12S years ago, and characterized as 'sfidic- ulous" the recent suggestion of Will liam c. McAdoo, another democratic presidential candidate, that the q1es. ton of American participation in world affairs be submitted to national ref erendum. <
 The Missouri senator dwelt also upon the Teapot Dome and the professional traditions concerning the relationships between lawyers and clients.

 Music la carte with the affable egro factotum of the sleeping car serv- ing the menu of melody is the latest innovation introducted by the Pullman company, says New York World.
 Besides putting down berths. looking after the grips and brushing tips from the pockets of passengers, the Pullman porter is to perform the onerous duty of time-killer by officiating during the spare moments as sweet singer of songs for the entertainment of the roads guests.
 The experiment was first tried sey- eral months ago. It proved highly suc- cessful. The idea originated with Pull man officials in Chicago. An experi- enced negro musical director was en- played tovisit the metropolitan dis tricts and ascertain who were possse- sors of good singing voices among Pull man porters. Those musically inclined were given both vocal and instrumental instruction free
 During 1923 the Pullman company sent out quartets on all special trains. Every porter assigned to a special must be able to harmonize. In some in- stances they can play either the mando- lin, banjo or guitar. When overcome with ennut and weary of glimpsing

EXHIBITS BARE SEASHELL


 In a specially provided case in the foyer of the American Museum of Nat ural history there was exhibited for the first time recently one of the most high ly prized cone shaped shells ever found in the world. According to scientific authorities it is properly called "The Glory of the Sea-" says New York Times.
 It is about five inches in length, of peculiarly slender appearance, graceful proportions and has tapering spire It suggests an unfolding rosebud. The ground color is pale ivory, overlaid with mosaic of thousands of triangular fig ures ranging from an eigth of an inch to almost microscopical sibe. These tri- angles are outlined in chrome yellow or deep chestnut brown. Three broad spiral bands of orange encircle the body whorl beneath the fretted pattern, adding richness to the color scheme.
 One must see the she'll itself, the museum authorities declare, to ap- preciate this and observe the porcelain luster that in certain lights suffuses it with a faint rosy sheen.
 In lS2S George N. Finder, head of the committee on public informat ton. pointed out Hugh Comming, the great British conchologist of his time. chanced ish.lgutiS cmfwyp shrdlu vbgkqj bmb upon three specimens of this beautiful molluse on Philippine reef. It is said that the reef was destroyed few weeks later by an earthquake and no more specimens were found there.
