No Reopening of the Hearing.

Dissatisfied with the proceedings be-
fore the Senate committee that recent
1y conducted hearings on the prohibi
ton question, certain organizations
have united in a demand upon the
Senate judiciary committee to reopen
tha inquiry and summon certain spec
i6ed witnesses. 1t is complained that
one Of the chief proponents OF prohibi-
ton was not called as a witness at
the first hearing, although present
in person throughout the proceedings.
The petition goes on to contend that
the hearing failed to bring out the
identity of members Of Congress who
are drawing pay from the Anti-Saloon
League or other dry organizations,
and insists that until this fact is
made known no correct judgment is
possible.
It is altogether unlikely that the
petition will be granted and a reopen
ing of the hearing ordered. The ses-
sion Of Congress is drawing to close.
In about a month it is expected both
houses will adjourn and the members
will disperse to the States to engage
in the campaign. There is no disposi-
ton to postpone adiournn< for the
purpose of making campaign material.
Nor is there any likelihood that the
Senate will order the judiciary com.
mittee or any other committee to sit
during the recess to conduct a pro.

"Snake-Eye" Hennessy. sliding his
taxi into the curb, fixed his glittering
gaze on the young couple walking
there.
| 1t was not for nothing he had that
name. Nine out of ten persons Inn
paled upon his glance Immediately
stepped into his cab. There was no
| escape.
Among the free fraternity of taxi
| cab and motor bus drivers, Snake
| Eye" had built up mighty reputa-
ton, Il fame which had gone out far

places.
Elderly ladies'. for instance, who
| Travelled n certain bus line, were in
| formed by garrulous drivers of the
fascination that lay in the compelling
orbs OF T.. J. Hennessy. No. 1854.
That's 'Snake-Eye' Hennessy," the
driver would say. turning around in
his seat. his left hand negligently rest
ing on the steering wheel. the other
waving in the general direction of the
subject under discussion.
While the elderly ladies. in their
neat black hats faced with white.
would heartily wish the bus driver
might attend more strictly to bust
ness, the latter cheerful individual
would continue his eulogy of Mr..
HenneSsy.
"Whenever he looks at 'enl--yes,
ma he fixes them eyes
on 'em, most OF the time they step
right in, no matter If they had any
idea to ride or not"

The way taxicab driver can
handle his car in the traffic is the
admiration of all persons who have
driven or ridden automobiles, an in
elusive classification. of course, SO
that 1t might as we'll be said that
every one admires the skill of the
gentlemen.
Taxicab men seem almost CentaurS,
those tabled creatures half-man, half
horse. Perhaps it would he best not
to call a taxi-driver Il "centaur" to
his face. Imagine the results of say
ing in your best scornful tones, in
questioning his charge. You cen
taur. you.'D
A taxicab chauffeur can whirl his
car into the smallest possible open
ing, and keep it there, too, despite
the efforts of all drivers of mere au-
tomobiles to dislodge him.
Even the bus drivers. at the wheels
of their five-ton vehicles, give place
to the taxicab drivers, when the latter
shuttle up directly into their path.
There seems to be a friendly rivalry
between these two classes as to which
can take the right of way from the
other. The physical advantage. OF
course, lies with the larger vehicle.
The mobility of the taxi, however,
more than makes up for the increased
weight of the bus. We have seen a
bus halted at downtown intersec-
ton by a taxi skillfully run up into
it's very nose.
The taximan thereupon grinned
derisively at the driver of the bus.
The latter gentleman. loudly announc-
ing himself somewhat ahead of his
schedule, settled back comfortably in
his padded cushions. and started to
whistle THE World Is Waiting for
the Sunrise"

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN.

A. The lung capacity OF the average
person is about 325 cubic inches. With
normal breathing about two-thirds Of
pint of fresh air may be taken into
the lungs, while an equal amount of
air is exhaled with each breath.
@. Is a player disqualified In the
qualifying round of golf tournament
If he fails to putt out on one green
even though his ball is lying on the
edge of the cup?-C. E.
A. Every putt must be holed out
no matter how short it may be, In
medal play golf. Having lifted his
ball without holing out, player
may replace 1t at a. penalty of two
strokes and then hole out, and not be
DISQUALIFIED. But he must do this be
fore he drives off from the next tee.
or, if it happens on the eighteenth
green, before he leaves the green, or
he will be disqualified.
@. Can pectin be made at home?-
II. II. S.
A. It can be made at home without
difficulty from apples and thick
Skinned oranges and lemons. -Four
pounds of apples will yield about one
and one-half pints of the concentrated
pectin extract, and one pound of
fresh white citrus fruit peel will yield
about two and one-half pints. Pectin

Of the Canary Islands. covering $500
miles, occupied 3s days. AS a demon
stration Of speed It was not remark
able. Indeed, it was a slow trip. "A
schooner could, with fair fortune in
the matter Of winds, have made Il
in a shorter time. A steamer could
have made It in very much lesS- Yet
it is regarded as an achievement.
This ship is propelled ma afnly by
newly evolved principle. 1t is
equipped with two large rotor" tow
ers of aluminium. which. revolving
under the pressure Of the wind, I'm
part a forward motion TO the craft
regardless Of the direction of the
air current. For about seventy per
cent of the distance from Hamburg,
tt IS stated, the Baden-Baden pro-
ceeded under rotor" power, and for
the remainder Of the way she was
by an engine. 1t is claimed that she
could have made the entire distance
by rotor power.
There Is no denial of the scientific
interest in this new mode of pro-
pulsion. even though the performance
Of the Baden-Baden on this first long
distance voyage was not extraordinary
in speed or time. Whether there is
a possibility Of further development,
to enable the rotor ship to compete
with the steamship in point of econ
omy Of operation, or with the sailing
ship in point Of speed, remains to be
proved. AS the case stands it must
be accepted that it is merely DEM
onstrated that rotor-driven craft
can navigate the Atlantic, in varying
conditions.
Just how the rotor ship works"
has been frequently explained in dis.
patches from Germany during the
experimental trips Of the Baden Baden
and is now again set forth upon her
arrival at New York. But, like the
Einstein theory, the explanation
leaves much mystifcation to the un-
scientific. 1t appears that the rotor
towers are given a revolving motion
by a small auxiliary engine and that
as they turn they pull" the ship
with the influence Of their forward
motion and, by reason Of slight
vacuum occurring behind them.
push" it along. In entering New
York Harbor the ships propellers
gave her a speed of nine knots. When
they were cut off and the rotors were
set in motion they gave her an equal
speed.
When Robert Fulton announced
that he could drive a ship through
the water by means of Steam he was
ridiculed. He did 1t and the scoff1ng
crowds cheered. Anton Flettner was
ridiculed when he announced that he
could drive a ship through the water
merely by means Of revolving towers
whatever the direction Of the wind.
He has proved his claim. His inven-
ton may not be revolutionary, in the
sense of affecting the future Of nAvi-
cation, but it is at all events real
discovery, the value Of which the fu-
ture will disclose.

Cermany's Former Rulers.

From the San Francisco Bulletin.
About the end of the coming month
the people of Germany viii vote by
plebiscite on a bill to disposSeSS the
Hohenzollern princes of properties
valued at $4,000 900 marks, and
already the propagardists are busy
misrepreSenting the issue.
1t is not, as Socialist leaders in the
Reichstag declare. a question of mon
archy versus the republic, but is con
cerned solely with the property rights
of German nrinces.
Did the revUs:sssiOn substituting a
republic for the monarchy deprive
those princes Of all rights 50 <s;E:::-
property? That is the question for
the German people to decide. bociai-
lists would answer 1t in the affirma-
tive, but, as Count Westarp remarks,
If the property of the princes is taken
from them the property of the
churches might come next in order
of confiscation, and after that 1t
would be only step to the contisca-
tion of all private property.
AS the German princes no longer
perform official national services, they
are not entitled to be on the national
pay roll, but such property as was
theirs by law before the revolutioF
should be secured to them becaust
security for property is fundamen
tai Of civilization.
