members who have been ready for
work for several weeks cannot be
blamed or criticized for neglect of
duty when others were guilty of the
neglect. If all legislation was prepar-
ed and submitted to the two houses
soon after they had completed their
organization so that the committees
could go to work, there would be some
reason to expect speedy action on
majority Of all bills, but now, more
than month after the opening of the
session, after the committees have all
been appointed and organized for sew
eral weeks, few bills, except those
prepared by the Governor have been
presented, and, it is safe to assert,
that not one-tenth of the measures
that will be on the calendars of the
two houses have been prepared, or are
in course of preparation, and large
proportion of them will not be sent to
Annapolis before the end of the pres
ent month, and many of them not be-
fore the middle of March. And the
records of every session, going clear
back to the dawn of the States his
tory, show that such has always been
the case. And further the same state
of affairs exists and has always ex-
listed in all other legislative bodies,
not excepting the most important of
all American legislative bodies, the
Congress of the United States.
The longer legislation is before the
members and before the public for
consideration, the less likelihood there
is that mistakes will be made. Even
the most ordinary members will be
able to learn something about it; the
newspapers will have time to present
it to the public at large, and there
will be no reasonable ground for lack
of knowledge as to what it means. De-
lay in the passage of bills at Annap-
oils is the greatest safeguard of the
State against unwise and evil legisla-
ton.

Four Presidents Have Changed
Their Names.

Calvin Coolidge is the fourth Presi-
dent of the United States to change
his name from the one given at birth.
In each case, a middle name became
the first name by the change, and
what is sometimes called "a name
parted in the middle" was avoided.
"a name parted in the middle" means
one in which a first initial, middle
name and last one are used in the
form of J. Huntington Smith.
It is said that Hiram Ulysses Grant
changed his name to Ulysses Simpson
Grant because as a youngster he was
leased about the combination which his
initials made.
Stephen G. Cleveland became Gro
yer Cleveland early in life because of
his personal preference.
Thomas w. Wilson grew to man.
hood as Tommy" Wilson. Later he
dropped his first name and used only
his second and last names, so that the
world knew him only as Woodrow
Wilson.
President Coolidge was named for
John Calvin, the famous Protestant
reformer. But he liked only the Cal
vim name, so dropped the first name
entirely and avoided being called
either J. Calvin Coolidge or John C.
Coolidge.

AUSTRALIAN ENGINEER .... -.
 INVENTs NEW TYPE ENGINE

A Sydney engineer claims to have invented and patented new design of internal combustion engine. Pro- vided that it does all that it is caim- ed to do. the inventor believes it will make the present standard motor engine obsolete. The engine is circular in shape, and has neither crankshaft, connecting rods, cam shaft, valves or timing gears. It con- rsists of six cylinders, piston pins, and movable cylinder head.
 It is claimed to be a gas turbine, has two main bearings, and takes up only 1-5 of space compared to the present engine. It is capable of developing tremendous speed at a very low gas consumption, and uses one pint of oil in crank chamber.
 u ndS COll ISuitIOl, diAo OuAy OhO plug lead. The fuel is sprayed to each cylinder through very small jet under pressure of 10 pounds per square inch, and is regulated by piston movement.
 A most interesting part about this turbine is that it can be start ed on one cylinder, and as more power is needed extra cylinders can be brought into operation by a simple hand control.
 Very little carbonization takes place, and what deposits of carbon there are can be removed from all cylinders in ten minutes, and like wise all cylinder heads. The whole engine can be dismantled in less than one hour, and also assembled in the same time.

BEN LINDSEY

Judge Ben Lindsey has been much impressed with the facts of life as they have come before his court in Denver, Colorado. It has led him to believe that the cure for family troubles is to recognize the facts, let the unhappy families separate, and let each party thereto "be hap py in his or her own way"
 The increase in family troubles is due to the breaking down of the moral fibre of our civilization.
 The cure is not to condone the troubles and make it easier for each party to find solace in the arms of the invader of the home and to legalize separation and marriage. The cure goes deeper than that.
 The American people will have to recognize that marriage is a sacred institution, and will have to school themselves to make it succeed; and they will have to see that if pa rents can change spouse much like suit of clothes, they cannot ask their children to be chaste, but will have to allow them to expert ment in a quest for happiness.
 The hope of the next generation lies in the keeping of the present generation of fathers and mothers

THE CHILDS BILL OF RIGHTS

The ideal to which we shoul1 strive is that there shall be no child in America that has not been born under proper conditions, that does not live in hygienic surroundings, that ever suffers from under nutri- ton, that ever does not have prompt and efficient medical atten- ton and inspection, that does not receive primary instruction in the elements of hygiene and good health, has not the complete birthright of a sound mind and a sound body and the encouragement to express in fullest measure the spirit within which is the final endowment of ev- cry human being.-Herbert Hoover.
 The restrictive measures against seines and gillnets in favor of trap interests is not conducive to the ideas set forth above by the Secre- tary of Commerce. Lack of earn ing power of resident fishermen of Alaska promotes poverty, and pow erty breeds crime and squalor and denies. that birthright so we'll set forth by the Czar of our fisheries and the federal spokesman of the Packers Association.

None of our politicians has the courage to deal with, none of our newspapers the courage to discuss, really fundamental issues such as the Catholic question, the Negro question, the money-power ques- tion, or even the liquor question. We are too cowardly or too stupid to face them Theodore Dreiser, American author and editor.

PARIS TO TEAR DOWN

coach, or diligence" station of Paris
is about to be torn down.
1t is an ancient, beamed barn, near
the big provision markets in the CEN
ter of the city-so solid that it has
served for nearly four centuries. 1t
adjoins the equally antique Golden
Compass" inn, which likewise will give
way to modern buildings.
Until century ago transportation
was by coach, horseback or afoot. This
last diligence station housed the
coaches than ran between Paris and
Dreux, SO miles west of here. The
station housed two diligences and had
stable room for 20 horses. Travellers
put up at the old auberge adjoining
the court yard. The roof is supported
by a complicated series of pyramids of
beams, built from drawings by Phili-
bert de POrme, noted architect, in

1t requires about week to prop
erly cook the neither ,extremities OF
bear and the cost of dinner OF
this kind ranges from 200 to 500 yen,
according to the fixings and liquid
details
The latest dinner Of boiled bears
feet given in Tokyo was described by
the verliacular press as a real epicu-
rean event. The host was Yoichi
Sawamoto, one of the wealthy citi-
zens of the capital. He gives a
bears feet dinner once a year.
The origin of bears feet as food
is traced back to China, several hun
dred or more years ago. A war lord
captured an enemy general and was
about to cut off his head. But, just
before the sword was to fall, the
war lord had a generous idea and
informed the prisoner he would grant
his last desire before the decapita-
ton.
"Well, would like a dinner of
bears feet before I die replied the
thoughtful victim.
The hunt for a bear took about
two weeks, but in the meantime the
defeated generals reinforcements ar
rived, conquered and captured the
war lord and released the general.
Whereupon the head-cutting business
was reversed. But, it is related, the
general actually ate the bears feet
and found them SO much to his liking
that he became bear-foot addict.
