Vile and other casinos, now appear
like small-time gamblers, in COM
parison with the vast establishment

The new Mediterranean Roulette
Palace at Nice, opened two weeks
ago, is the most luxurious gambling
establishment in the world. in
comparison, the famous Monte Carlo
Casino appears tiny. Gould, himself.
speaks Of his venture as "a palace

One hundred million francs

If that is possible. Is the best

In the two-acre establishment,

architectural dream. The theater is
as fine as any Paris possesses.

nlistice they broke out from time to
time, even In the United States. Now
they seem to have disappeared al
together. It was like throwing pebbles
into that vast tide Of common expe-
rience which was tearing loose war
memories from nationalistic associa-
tions and sweeping them into the ocean.
For the war itself was greater than
any of its issues. In ten years some
of these have become so Anticipated
that none would quarrel about them
any more. r
But Mr.. McNutt is right In not wish
ing to force time. The conference
which the British will propose is certain
to come sooner or later-probably
within a very few years. It will de-
velop naturally and inevitably. Only
harm would result from q premature
gathering of this nature while anything
remains to disturb the harmony OF
common experience.
There must be plenty Of time for
forgetting. There must be time for
hate and fear to be entirely sublimi-
fed in the caldrons Of memory-and
the progress Of the transmutation is
highly satisfactory.

Feathers on q Chicken.

Into the category Of Questions and
Answers" foolish and otherwise, which
are regular features of numerous peri
odicals, and newspapers, and which
serve to refresh the school-day. memo
ries Of the older generation, it remained
for DR.. B. F. Kaupp. poultry specialist
of the North Carolina State College, to
PROFOUND one that Is both novel and
practical and as yet remains un-
answered.
DR.. Kaupp asks, How many feathers
on a chicken?"
It Is remarkable that among the
many people who have nothing to do,
such as flag pole sitters, or those HUI
man birds who remain aloft for two
weeks with no. place to 60, or those
others now riding around the world in
gas bag no one has yet taken
the trouble to count the feathers on
O chicken.
DR.. Kaupp says the average hen
has 5000 feathers. And he stands
supreme in his knowledse-until the
count is over. The question he asks
Is essentially simple. His statement Of
his own estimate leaves matters In the
same position a. Preparations payments,
the left-hand turn and the nice problems
as TO which horse will win the NTH at
Saratoga. He says the average hen

has 5000 feathers. Now, Doctor. wha,

has 5000 feathers. Now, Doctor, what
is an average hen?
Is she that bird with the tight
fitting, closely laid, smooth plumage
of the Mediterranean family, best ex-
emplified by the White Leghorn Of the
egg farms?
or. Is she that enormously huffed.
loosely feathered, Asiatic variety such
as the Cochin or the Langshan?
or is she a member of that highly
popular American family, the Plymouth
Rocks?
Does DR.. Kaupp refer particularly
Gin his estimate of 5000 feathers on
q chicken) to the ones that come Of
when the bird Is pluckcd, or does his
estimate include those We usually md
still sticking to the restaurant product?
Is the count to be made in the Sum-
mertime, In the Fall, the Winter, or
the Spring. The hen does not have the
same number of feathers all the year
round. They are constantly being dis
carded and replaced.
When the hen becomes broody in the
Spring and decides to set, she loses all
The feathers on her breast, that her
body may come in closer contact with
the eggs and thus maintain higher
rate of temperature. Now what be-
comes of the average?
Prof. James e. Rice Of Cornell Uni
versity, in q bulletin on the subject,
announces the discovery that chicken
grows four sets of feathers from the
time 1t is, Matched up to the time 1t
secures its mature OUTFIT. But he did not
count them! What q chance for fame
undying!
Think of being able to inform a
breathless world the average number OF
feathers. on the average hen on an
average day in August at the average
age of. Let US say, fourteen months!
Yet though the world progresses slow
ly along the road Of scientific achieve
ment-even this may yet be vouch-
safed US.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRAcEWELL.

sight of her elm face as she came out
Of the library In the evening. after night
had fallen. and the great trees of the
town put down O second layer Of dark
ness upon the first.
He would see her, short, small. bright.
her arm slipped through that Of some
gigantic companion as they came down
the library steps. A wave of loneliness
would come over the watcher.
Who was she? And above all. what
relationship was he? The two questions
possible for them to be disassoeiated
at first. After one got to know her,
both of them faded away.
It now became ones own turn to
walk down the library steps with Mary,
and 1t vas always a sort Of thrill, es-
pecially II one happened to catch the
glance Of a lonely male. One knew
how he felt. One rejoiced that he
believed you to be Mary's teller" Why,
nobody, was Mary's Teller everybody
was Mary's friend.
The bright and winsome Mary ex-
allied friendship because she played no
favorites. The perplexed young fell
low who had not found himself in life
was every whit as good, in her eyes,
as the successful man who boosted OF
being a director in three banks.
The splendid part of 1t was that she
made the perplexed young man feel
the same way about it. With her he
became equal with any, for was he not
sitting and talking with the one they
all liked to sit and talk with?
This was her chief contribution to
her friends. She gave them a sense of
self-pride which never deserted them
afterward. And she did this without
ostentation, without causing them to
realize 1t. There is no doubt that she
did not do 1t purposely; rather 1t came
as a fine flower of honest friendship.
Her interest In the fine arts was an
watched her paint could be unaware OF
the great traditions which lay behind
her work. and of the spirit Of determi-
nation with which she pursued them.
Baked one way. she turned another,
never giving up hope, always pIodding
straight ahead in her pretty way. What
her own struggles were no one ever
knew. for she kept them to herself
She gave the rest of the world smile.
She presided over a Bohemianism
without the Bohemians Latin quarter
without the Latins. Her scepter was
extended over loyal subjects only, those
who had sought her out because of her
sunny ways.
Such was Mary Of the old days, a
Mary whose name might have been
spoken less often in the new days. but
one whose influence always remained
much the same. since 1t was based on
those higher aspects Of life which never
change.
She made the word "comrade" mean
something. After all, this may have
been her chief distinction. In its
broader aspects it had nothing at all
to do with marriage, husband, children,
home.
Her comrades to the four winds sa-
lutte her and wish her health. happiness
and long life. When others speak of
her as IAN old girl Of his. they hold
their peace. and smile. What difference
does II make?

Veterans of the World.

The hate-and-fear fever which dis
ordered the brain of the world during
the war has abated with astonishing
rapidity.
Recovery has proceeded so well in
ten years that the British delegation to
the Interallied Federation of War Vet
Grams which will meet at Belgrade this
month plans to advance a proposal for
a conference of veterans from all the
, armies which participated in the great
struggle.
This will be opposed by the Amer.
lean Legion delegation, according to
Paul v. McNutt, the national COM
mander, on the grounds that the time
is not ripe for harmonious conven-
ton Of friend and foe. There is con-
siderable basis for Mr.. McNutt's con-
tention. Traces of the old animosities
still remain, which would distract the
minds of the delegates from the real
purposes Of such a meeting. Especially
among the European delegations. it
would be impossible SO soon to elirni-
nate altogether the bitterness Of defeat
and the boastfulness of victory.
Nevertheless, the time is approaching
when a meeting Of this sort will be
entirely practical-when the differences
over which the war was fought can be
submerged entirely in the comradeship
engendered of common experience. It
is significant to note that up to the
present the most widely accepted in
terpretations Of the war from the View
point of the soldier himself have been
written by Germans. The psychology OF
the German soldier was also the psy-
chology Of the allied soldier. !.
It is encouraging that efforts to keep
alive war hatreds have been abortiye.
For two or three years after hs ar
