Claude Kitchin, one-time Democratic
leader Of the House, was zone Of the
cleverest and best debaters I ever
heard"
The late Uncle Joe Cannon was a
fine old Republican statesman and
patriot" James r. Mann was "the
greatest Of all parliamentarians. !"
Martin Madden and James w. Good
were men of great distinction"
Maj. Stedman, the only Confederate
veteran in the House, he described as
gallant. a man who has enriched my
whole life"
and Speaker Nick Longworth-he
gave special attention to him-is q
capable parliamentarian, ripened states
man, courteous. all-round good fellow,
our own Nick"
Nor did he forget the ladies of the
House. He was loud in his tribute to
the seven gentlewomen. They were
splendid, honest and efficient" But
that is not all. Turning to the House,
he cried:
II am not a prophet, or the son of
prophet, but you young men Of the
House, If you continue In the service,
need not be surprised to arise some
day and address the chair as Nine.
Speaker"
Those he did not single out for
praise nevertheless got their share. For
before he was through, he surveyed the
entire membership, and in q voice loud
and strong told them:
There is no group Of men and
women. in the world. who possess
more ability, more real courage, more
sincerity, a higher sense Of honor, a
loftier patriotism"
His regret at leaving the House was
softened only because In the Senate he
would be associated with so many
former Representatives. There he
would find one Of his old professors.
Senator Tess Of Ohio. And he would
renew acquaintance with an old school
mate-"the fine Senator Hatfield"
And there. too, he would flnd his old
friends and associates of the House,

Household Methods
BY BETSY CALLIsTER.

This is a good time of the year to
buy cretonne remnants. For they are
on sale in the shops at very reason
able price.
There are lots of things you can
do even with small piece of cretonne
or course, there are bags. One sort
Is that made on an oval embroidery
ring OF wood. 1t is used for a laundry
bag, and made in a small size Is iust
the thing for a handkerchief laundry
bag.
One young woman has a set of four.
In different sizes. The largest is tor
underwear. The next is for lingerie
blouses. Then there are two smaller
ones, one for handkerchiefs, the other
Tor neckwear. Cretonne is a particu-
larly appropriate material for laundry
because frequent washing does not in
jure it.
These same bags, made on the big
embroidery rings, are useful for many
household purposes, because of their
open tops--for holding paper and
string, for holding cleaning rags and
dust cloths and for holding rag-bag
scraps.
You can cover all manner of little
objects with cretonne. One thing to
make is a cretonne-co bridge
score.

Lanterns.

Uncle Tom Edison has made the worlC
| so bright with that incandescent lamI
of his that we have forgotten all about
| the little lanterns which used to shine
on small scale. There was the magic
/ lantern which has been put out of bust
ness by the movie. and the Jack O'Lan-
! tern who still comes out on Halloween
1t seems to me that a lot of the
| books and shows which are put out to-
| day are of the lantern variety. They
| should be magic lanterns with the power
| to throw life on the screen and magnify
/ the little details which can make life
| artistic. They should let us see things
! In large way.
Often. however, the kind of lantern
! which the story or movie writer tells
! amounts to no more than the kind of
smelly, yellow light which streams from
the mug of the Jack OLantern. 1t isn't
the steady glow from a clear light, but
the miserable flare in the bilious brain
of some ugly writer.
I'm not going to advertise the books
and shows which seem to me to have
the Jack OLantern light to them. But
think you'll recognize the fact that
there are just such things which grin
at us and seem to make faces at all
mankind.
OF course. we can't live in this realistic
age and think that we get along with
our young heads stuffed with romance
We aren't going to be spoofed by book
which tells us how the sweet young
things met charming prince in his
Sunday clothes and they were married
and lived happily ever afterward.
No, but we needn't believe that men
are all lounge lizards who are all set
for unSuspecting heiresses or that girls
are just so many vampS who know
nothing and desire nothing but gold
digging. Such yellow stories give as
ugly look to life as the candle does
to the Jack OLantern.
There may be some people who try
to live by their wits and have no idea
Of honest work and decent life. But
they are in the minority, and some of
them are in the hoosegow, as the boys
call it,
Most people are decent and want to
read decent books, just as they want to
see decent shows. They read these yell
low stories and look at yellow films just
out of curiosity.
They think that they are getting the
truth about human life when, as a
matter Of fact, they are getting only a
narrow, distorted view. A grinning Jack
O'Lantern Is comical thing to look at
once In a while, but it doesn't shed
much light on any subject.

Immunity in Tuberculosis.

When We speak of immunity we don't
mean resistance. When we speak of
resistance we don't know what we
mean. So we'u confine our discussion
70 immunity-until some one comes
along with reasonable conception of
the meaning of resistance, If there is
such a condition or state. And when
say some one with a reasonable con-
ceptlon don't mean anybody who
cherishes pet notion or a pat phrase.
Every disease in which or to which
immunity Is possible or recognized con-
1erS Its own special or specific i'm
munity upon the host. So far as we
know, this is the only way one can ac-
quire or develop immunity against any
dtsease-having the disease or at least

science can furnish q trial size sample
OF typhoid fever. diphtheria, smallpox

There is much truth, we believe, in
the quoted remarks. Undoubtedly the
world has been inspired by its Daniel
Websters, Haynes. Clays, Beechers and
other Silver-tongued speakers.
Into our hands the other day came a
book entitled "Ths New Speaker and
Declaimer," published in 1858. It con-
tains rare bits of eloquence by men of
intellectual eminence. In the light of
present events, what some of the speak
ers said in the days long before the
Civil War should be Of interest to the
reader. We hope SO. An excerpt from
a speech by John c. Calhoun:
"The first thing that strikes me, sir,
in casting my eyes to the future is
the utter inpossibility that war, should
there unfortunately be one. can have
an honorable termination The capacity
OF France to infiict injury upon us is
10 times greater than ours to inf1ict
injuries on her, while the cost of the
war, in proportion to her means, would
be in nearly the same proportion less
than ours to our means. She has rela-
lively small commerce to be DESTROYED.
while we have the largest in the world
IN proportion to our capital and popu-
lation. She may threaten and harass
our coast, while her own is safe from
assault. do not hesitate to pronounce
that war with France will be among
the greatest acknowledgements than
war with England herself"
