courtesy to the memory Of perhaps
the most brilliant representative
America has ever sent to the Court
of st. James.
Mr.. Choate is described as looking
very austere when he pulls away on
his briarwood pipe before answering
the next question about the state of
prohibitions repeal. and but for the
little wrinkles around his small, dark
eyes, and the fact that his children
call him Joey" one would not ven-
ture to ask him too many questions
for he is not as unapproachable as
he seems.
Is there not something about whom
you wed in December you would not
WOO in May? Well, last December
the chairman of the Federal Control
said that after the repeal of the
eighteenth amendment, drinking would
decrease and the youth of the coun-
try would no longer consider it smart
to carry a hip flask. But here it is
May, and Mr.. Choate, in a recent
article says that drinking has in
creased and that the song of the boot
logger is still heard in the land. It
must be that prices of legal liquor
need repeating. and as to the hip
flask, dinner jacket will reveal that
it is not non-existant
The Choates have taken Mr.. Hugh
Wilson's pleasant house out Wood
land drive, and their friends find they
have made it just another one of
those delightful homes like they keep
up in New York City, in Maine and
at Mount Kisco, where Mr.. Choate's
kennels are famous.
Not only Washingtonians, but
friends in many lands, will be inter-
ested in the memoirs of John Hays
Hammond, which are expected to
come out next Fall. These memoirs,
from 1885 to the present time, will
cover a life rich in accomplishment
and usefulness.
The manuscript was completed on
Mr.. Hammond's 18th birthday ami
versary, and will make two volumes
of delightful reading, as well as STIR
ring "reminiscences of Cecil Rhodes
and events in the Transvaal which
led up to the Boer War.
The Princeton University Press is
rushing through for early publica-
tion a book on Democracy and Ma
tionalisrn in Europe" by the Honor
able Henry Stimson, who is now
the owner Of the lovely old mansion
out Woodley road which was made
famous by the occupancy of the late
President Cleveland.
Democrats are feeling much elated
that Mr.. StimSon is siding with the
administration on the tariff question,
and his new book has title that will
cause it to be looked forward to with
keen anticipation.
This roomy, delightful old place
seems to be very fortunate in its
tenants, for there is not a house
around the Capital that has had
more interesting and distinguished
chatelains, as we'll as hospitable
hosts. Friday afternoon Mr.. and
Mrs. Stimson will give a garden
party to the American Law Institute
meeting in Washington, which re-
minds one of the charming parties
they used to give there when Mr..
Stimson was Secretary of State.

ladies Of the Democratic and Repub-
lican trend Of mind will play bridge,
and tn the garden, where the late Mr..
and Mrs. L. z. Letter held court under
gorgeously striped awnings while sip
ping tea with their friends, will arise
various gaudy little booths and tents,
where guests will be entertained and
where, perhaps, there will be sales Of
some sort.
Since it seems quite certain that the
Congressional Club has in its ~ years
outgrown its building, there Is said
to be some chance Of q purchase of Q
new building, say, like the Letter
mansion. For q long time there has
been waged a campaign for a building
fund for the club, and certainly
nothing would fit the bill better than
the lordly chambers Of the old brick
mansion. In the meantime Friday
afternoon of this week will see q grand
opera audience to hear Doris Doe of
Metropolitan Opera fame in q number
of her best things in the club house
on New Hampshire avenue.
Garden pilgrimages are on and none
presents q greater charm than the old
houses and gardens Of Washingtons
little elder sister. Georgetown. Since
old doorways and windows have
caught the fancy Of artists and achi-
tects all over the country, in no other
town Of similar size will one find more
interesting subjects. Alexandra is
setting forth a further lure for garden
travellers and all through Virginia one
finds the pilgrimage spirit is on and
with the result of an inpouring OF
financial aid for some good cause.
Tonight the Chief Justice and Mrs
Hughes, the Speaker of the House and
Mrs. Rainey, the Albanian Minister

Agricultural Notes
Attendance Gains at School Of
Agriculture

Agriculture
That today's farmers realize that
the future welfare of agriculture
lies in the training of young people
to continue equalizing farming
with other professions, is indicated
in marked increase in enrolment
in the School Of Agriculture at
University farm.
]. o. Christianson, principal, re-
ports an enrolment Of approximate
ly $50 students; an increase of II
per cent over the fall term. The
school is vocational and is open to
farm boys and girls over II years
of age who desire training in farm
ing and homemaking.
This increased enrolment is due
to greater optimism among farmers

attendance record, exceeding by ex-
actly 500 the previous high Of
2,062 in 1881. Excellent weather and
road conditions, and better feel
ing among farm people, were be-
lieved to be large factors in boost
ing this years attendance practical
ly so per cent over that of last year
which totaled 1,722.
One of the most extensive pro-
grams ever offered was conducted
at the short course this year. In
addition to 200 separate lectures
and demonstrations on farming and
homemaking, and in addition to 16
general sessions presenting some
25 speakers of state and national
prominence, there were held the
statewide male quartet contest,
sponsored by the Minnesota Farm
Bureau, the first rural one-act play
contest, the annual state seed show,
and farmers dairy cattle judging

sity Farm was host to the annual

culture.

ing their 1884 wheat crop.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
also are being received by farmers
from corn aoans. In one county
alone, farmers had on Jan. 90, re-
-ceived $31, 794.35 in cash from this
source. Total received by farmers
on Jan. 20 was $589, 473.58, of an
estimated total of 100000 that
will be in the pockets of Minnesota
farmers by March /. The corn loan
price is about a third higher than
the price of corn at the time the
loans plan went into effect.
Farmers have the option of turn
ing the corn over to the govern
ment, when the loans fall due next
fall, or paying from corn sales or
other sources, so they will receive
full benefits if the market should
it go above the loan figure.
While opposition to the wheat
control plan was made in some
quarters, and continues from these
same sources against the corn-hog
control sign-up, farmers are prac-
tically unanimous in regarding the
crop control plan as a highly de-
sirable factor in increasing their
cash income.
Many farmers haze expressed
their thanks to the Minnesota farm
bureau and the American farm bur-
eau for the part they played in SCI

Meteors Small Planets

Meteors are probably themselves
small planets. They literally infest
space, being almost infinite in num-
Der, and the variety and extent Of
their orbits around the sun is prac-
tically unlimited. It has been COM
puted that 100000 enter the at
mosphere of the earth every day,
notes a writer in the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. They come from
every conceivable direction and
travel with speeds varying between
seven and seventy miles per second.
Travelling through the atmosphere
at this velocity they quickly become
incandescent and burn up, so fierce
is the heat generated. The frag-
ments which survive this fiery or
deal fall upon the earth as meteor
ties, where men may study them and
subject them to chemical analysis
in crucibles and test tube.
Prehistoric Tooth Found
The tooth Of a marsupial lion, a
beast which carried its young In its
pouch as do kangaroos, has been
found in Molong, Australia. The
tooth with fossilized bones was dis
covered by miners in a limestone
cave 20 feet underground. The mar.
supial lion is believed to have
lived in Australia from about 90
100000 years ago until 1t became ex-
tinct 10000 years ago.

AN UNUSUAL DIVORCE

While the idea of Mr. and Mrs. Fqarian J.. Hum
mer, of Cleveland regarding getting divorce but
manning friends is not new, their experiment had
rather unusual sequel.
Deciding that they could no longer live as man
and wife in happiness, they agreed to secure di-
vorce, but to remain in their $4,000 home, she
manager of the household and he merely a
boarder
At the end of 80 days they felt the urge to make
up and have the divorce set aside. Seeking the
judge who had made the decree, they informed him
of their desire. They were pleasantly surprised to
be informed that the judge had signed the
record having suspected how matters would turn
out consequently they had not been legally divorced
at all.
There probably many other couples who
might their matrimonial bark from shipwreck
by temporary severance of relations by mutual
consent instead of rushing to the divorce court
