TraUesty on Coffee
.SerUed bv .JdUdnese

Java coffee is renowned the world
over-in the bean. In the cup, as
served in the Dutch tropical posses
sions, 1t is frightful travesty on cof-
fee, writes Samuel G. Blythe in the
Saturday Evening Post.
They roast the bean until 1t is al
most burned, and grind it. Then they
let water drip through it or employ
some other occult process, and pro-
duce black, thick, acrid mixture
they call coffee essence This Is
served cold in little pitcher, with a
larger pitcher of hot water. The plot
Is to pour some a the essence into
your cup, fill the cup with the hot
water and revel in the murky com
bination.
1t doesn't taste like coffee. II
tastes like some sort Of chemical So
luton used for, cleaning rugs. That
is detail. There isn't a good cupful
of coffee. or q cupful of good coffee,
to be had outside of the United States
anywhere in this world, so why i'm
peach the Dutchman's idea of the
brew?

triangle is an extraordinarily in

Every foot Of the way lies
through great hills-some forest

Admitting Errors

Nothing is perfect, and you don't
have to claim an article is perfect to
sell it. The best article is the one that
has fewest things wrong with it: Like
the pumpkin that took the prize at
the fair.
"Pve seen better pumpkins than
that" remarked a farmer.
Maybe so,' his neighbor replied,
'but that amt the point. This is the
best pumpkin in the show
A competitor may beat you in this
point or that. Don't argue against the
obvious. If you are trying to defend
an article or position that has too
many features wrong, drop it. Take
up something worth while Many an

man big enough to say that the other

research has extended over a
period Of several years.
Increased Production
DR.. Laird announced that a diet
rich in energy foods - carbohy-
drates such as sweet foods,
spaghetti, noodles, bread, potatoes
i'm addition to offsetting the Ill
effects of noisy surroundings, bet
tered the workers production re-
gardless of noise. During the days
on which quiet was maintained IN
the experimental rooms, and the
subjects were fed high-carbohy-
drate diet, production was Is per
cent better than on low-carbohy-
drate days, under the same quiet
conditions.
From the point Of view OF the
employers own, selfish interest,
DIR. Laird said, the workers diet is
iust as important as modern, i'm
proved working environment;
where, paradoxicaliy the question
OF noise is frequently neglected.
Our experiments have shown that
noise at the average office level in
creases muscular tension, so that
energy demands are stepped up
greatly beyond the slight require

suit Is greater fatigue and lessened

group of offenders were those charg-
ed with robbery, which included
nearly one-third Of all cases OF
crimes against the person. 1t Is
notable that in this group Of crimes
a thirty percent increase is to be
found in the past year.
Cigarette Tax Revenue
The first Is days of June brought
$212,00O into the state treasury BY
the sale of cigarette revenue stamps.
This is an average of over $4,000
per day. State Treasurer, Harry s.
Day, stated that up to June LIST,
$3,2O7,091.56 had been collected
since the cigarette tax went into ef-
feet last September 1st. Treasurer
Day estimates that when the year is
up, between four and a half and
five million will have been paid the
state for cigarette tax stamps.
New Feature at Penitentiary
Warden p. E. Thomas of the Ohio
penitentiary has inaugurated new
feature, a commercial course, in
charge Of capable civilian in
structor. The course is open to any
student who can qualify, a series
of grading tests being used, and the
class now numbers 80, younger men
predominating. This recent innova-
tion is being enthusiastically re-
ceived and no doubt the class will
rapidly grow. The prison popula-
tion is $3.50.

Fair to Both

A well-known newspaper golfer was
playing over Transit valley the other
day when one of the caddies captured
a beautiful young songbird, too young
to fly. Walking over to the golfer he
said to him:
"Got any kids at home"
"Yep."
"Well, here, take this bird home to
him, probably he will like it."
Cant do it," replied the golfer.
"WhyY" queried the caddy.

another and I'll do 1t. You see, have

The caddy let the bird flutter away.

Eat Sweets to Offset iii Effects of
Office Din, Says Colgate Scientist
Research Shows Noisy Offices
Lower Workers. Production,
Increase Fatigue

IF you feel thoroughly tagged out after day
i at the Office, although your work calls for
only comparatively slight expenditure OF
physical energy, the chances are your fatigue
is due more to noisy surroundings than to the
work itself Noise increases fatigue and de-
creases the workers production. The remedy
is to fortify yourself against din by eating
plenty of sweets and other energy foods that
tend to offset the muscular tension caused by
noise.

 This declaration is made by Governor McInnes, who added that if the people of Burma decided to secede from India, the British par lament would complete the nec- essary legislation by the summer of 1883.
 This would enable the elections to the Legislature under the new constitution to be held in Novem- Der, 1893, and make possible sep- aration from India by April l, 1884.

ATTEMPT MADE TO LAND ARMS
 IS FRUSTRATED
Fighting Equipment for Re- publican Army Is
 Turned Back
BRITISH WARSHIPS
 CUT OFF SUPPLIES
Russian Tramp Steamers Fail to Reach Port with
 Load of Supplies

LONDON, June 2.--An attempt to land arms in Southern Ireland for the Irish, Republican Army, was thwarted by the British Navy over the past weekend the Daily Ex- press says today.
 { The Daily Express said the arms were intended to be used by the Republican Army. Arms were plac- ed under the ban of the Govern ment during the previous regime of President Cosgrave of the Irish Free State in event of a conflict between the Free State and Ulster.
 Warned by Radio
 Tramp steamers, carrying arms, were warned by radio of the activ- ity of British warships which were sent to cut them off at Irish ports.
 The tramp steamers returned to their foreign ports, where they were chartered, without being able to land the fighting equipment. The Irish Republican Army took on a new lease of life after Ramon de Valera was elected President.
 Fight Predicted
 Moss Towney, members of the Irish Republican Army Council, re- iterated at a ceremony in Dublin on March 27 in commemoration of the Easter uprising of 1916, of the Army's resolve to set up a Republic and smash the Anglo Irish treaty and remove British in- terests from Ireland.
 The Free State Government itself was not expected to countenance any attempt to coerce Ulster by force of arms but fears are ex- pressed that this would be accom- plished by some armed body.

make of Burma little more than a protectorate for military, naval and economic reasons, it is believed the majority of the population will vote for separation.
 The Burmese differ in race, culture, language, religion and ideals from the Indians. They are of pure Mongolian origin and wor- ship Buddha. They are a cheerful, gay, optimistic people, while most Indians are melancholy, mystical and fataliStic.
 Burma is one of the richest ter ritories in the East, producing huge quantities of oil, rice, lockwood, precious stones and minerals.
 It is only slightly smaller than Texas, but has three times the population of that state. There is less illiteracy in Burma than in any other part of India, educa- ton being largely in the hands of Buddhist priests.

Contention Tips; Orators Can't Dro1Un Out Huge Organ

CHICAGO, <l1., June 2.-Just friendly word of advice to speakers at the political con- ventions in Chicago this year.
 It will be best not to attempt to crate while the Chicago Stadium's giant organ is play ing.
 And this is why:
 The instrument, which cost S220,000 and whose console weighs seven and one-half tons can pour out a volume of sound equivalent to the combined eff forts of 25 brass bands of 100 pieces each.
 It can play simultaneously the music of 40 harmonizing snare drums, 16 violins, I2 sax aphcnes, g clarinets, : French horns, 6 trumpets, bass drums and other instruments in pro- portion.
 The organ, called the worlds biggest, is to be used as sup plement to bands during the convention.

1000 Divorcees Form
 Mutual Benefit Club

BUDAPEST, June "A club of divorced men and women has been founded here for the purpose of promoting single bliss. It has about 2,000 members and the chairman is a barrister, divorced three times. Most of the members are women. many of them quite young.
 The club intends to defend the economic interests of the divorced and try to procure jobs for the neediest of divorced women. Those whose divorce cases are not yet settled can get free legal aid from the lawyer of the club. The mem- bership is immediately lost upon remarriage.
 The male and female sections of the club always meet separately in order to avoid the possibility of marriage of two members which would "demoralize the club"
