“President’s •pictures show his good health,” says Admiral Grayson, D. S. M., Mr. Wilson’s official physician, companion, and former golf partner. Well, possibly, but photographs do not always tell the exact truth. We recall, too, the rosyreports that emanated from the White House over the signature of Grayson telling of the President’s rapid recovery when everybody n ?Y knows he was flat on his back with no noticeable change in his condition for weeks.

SEATS ANY BURGLAR ALARM

Exceedingly Unlikely That Thieves Will Ever Rifle the National r T Treasury ot, Annam. A Frenchman returned with an account of a singular national treasury Iff Annam. If the story is true—and It presents no essential improbability—the treasury is in no danger of robbery and Is destined to become famous. Now, in Annam iron safes of good resisting power are for the most part unknown, and, unfortunately, 1 adroit thieves are not. To defend bra most costly treasures the native ruler had to resort to some means In harmony with the natural circumstances of the country. Armed guards he could not fully trust. Animals do not steal money, and nature had supplied the ruler with a creature that could not be wheedled nor killed except with a great deal of trouble. The crocodile is such an animal. The ruler would have the crocodile guard his specie reserve. Yet to avail himself of the services of the crocodile he must keep his money in p place where crocodiles are at home. Nothing was more simple. In the Interior of his palace the ruler caused to be constructed a large tank or basin, which he kept filled with water. Then he took several teak logs, whtcb he bad bored with holes, and into these ne put his specie reserve of gold and ffilyer. The holes were closed up and, thelogs put Into the tank. . Then some crocodiles of the largest and fiercest description were installed In the tank and maintained there —not being fed, however, with such a superfluity as to Interfere with their natural ferocity. Any person who should undertake to reach the treasure-laden logs would surely be eaten by the crocodiles. And any one who should undertake to put the saurians out of the way would have to make noise enough to attract the attention of the human guards and of the ruler himself, for he, by Annam custom, Is required to remain very closely In his palace. At any rate the royal crocodile treasury has never been robbed —and it cannot burn.

Woman “Called" Enver Pasha.

Enver Pasha, the most autocratic and arrogant of the committee of union and progress, was obliged to listen to the protests of Turkish women against the large number of casualties in the Dardanelles and Bagdad campaigns. He called together the bereaved mothers and reminded them that their sons were among the faithful in paradise, and that they should be proud and pleased to be the mothers of such brave patriots. One poor mother, bent wlth «age and beyond caring for herself, dared to cry back to the man more feared by Turk and Christian alike than anyone else in the empire: “Marshallah, effendi (May It please God, your excellency), that your mother may soon have this same pride and pleasure that we have.” — Barnett Miller, In Asia.

The Modem “Washlady."

The wash-woman problem is a difficult one these days, all housekeepers will agree. But one Columbus family has more to worry about than some of the rest Several days ago their wash >vas late in coming back from the “washlady” and when she finally did come with the clothes, in answer to the question as to why she was late, she stated: “Well, you see we have a new automobile and the weather has been so nice that we have been taking motor trips every day.” Now the housewife is wondering what win happen to her washing when summer comes. It is of further interest to explain that the poor woman who is trying to have her washing done owns no automobile. —Columbus Dispatch.

Electricity to Thaw Ground.

The electric ground-thawing device used In Alaskan railroad building has the form of a hollow steel pile. This has a sharpened steel point at one end and a solid steel driving bead at the other, and the hollow body contains a suitable resistance coll. The pointed tube is driven like any pile into the frozen grbund to the required depth. Connection is then made with a power transmission line through a portable transformer mounted on a sledge and a lowwolt current of high amperage is passed through the coll. The heat soon thaws the surrounding ground sufficiently, for driving a wooden pile.

Utilizing Wood Waste.

The utilisation of wood waste to one way ‘recommended to cut down the high cost of living. Here are some articles made from sawdust and shingle waste which the New York College of Forestry is exhibiting in its efforts to show how the waste of the sawmill can be utilized to cheapen the cost of living, "BUM” socks, sausage casings, phonograph records, paper milk bottles and tanbark shingles. The “silk” looks like silk ; apd feel. like silk, but is much cheaper than silk. The sausage casings are made by treating the wood with chemicals that turn it into viscose, and ieniejr -thia into thin films.

Rather Slow.

HURT BY "DOUBLE"

Englishman Victim of Unusual Circumstances. --r-, ) ’ —————— Reduced to Penury Through the Operations of Man Who Resembles Him With a Fidelity That Must Be Remarkable. Somewhere in England flourishes a brilliant scoundrel who is committing fraud after fraud in the name of Herbert Leslie * Perkins, an impoverished herb seller of Wolverhampton, writes a foreign correspondent of the Kansas City Star. . . v He is said to look exactly like Perkins, even to a tendency to stoop. He dresses like him, has the same mannerisms and voice, and is sufficiently familiar with Perkins’ past to assume his identity before acquaintances —but he cannot write like him. For this theft of his personality Perkins has paid painfully. He has been Imprisoned five times, being acquitted each time at the subsequent trial. Four warrants are now out for bls arrest, and a cloud of suspicion hangs over him that may result in other warrants. His savings of SSOO have been spent to earn his freedom, and most of his fur-niture-And his wife’s keepsakes have been sold to support his family of six childrenwhile be has been in Jail. He was first’ arrested October 15, 1919, for fraud at Gloucester. Five days after his release he was arrested, again and; taken tori Chesterfield, in Derbyshire; wfifete he was remanded for trial on the declarations of four persons that there could be no doubt he was the man who had defrauded them. Yet he never had been in Chesterfield before in his life. At the Derbyshire assizes he proved that on the day of the fraud he was at the Uttoxeter market In Staffordshire. Fourteen old specimens of his handwriting were produced. None of them was anything like the criminal’s. • The jury promptly acquitted Perkins. While his friends were congratulating him in the courtroom a policeman pressed forward and arrested him for other alleged frauds. They dragged him off to Hull police station, where Perkins says he lay that night wondering if he.was “mad or only.dreaming.” In Hull he was again positively identified, and he had to remain 18 days in Hull prison before his trial. This time he had 14 witnesses to prove his presence at various markets distant froto Hull on the dates that the frauds were committed. "I could have produced sixty witnesses,” said Perkins, "but it took my last cent to pay the fares of the fourtOOD.” The operations of the “slick” double hurt the police nearly as much as Perkins. They have four warrants for his arrest for a number of other frauds committed at Burtbn-on-Trent, Peterborough, Bristol and Leicester. The warrants are pigeonholed for the time being. The police are ruminating. Pennflesa, Perkins busily is digging up bis herbs again and trying to sen them, but after 27 days in jail and with the shadow of prison bars still hovering over him he has, little peace of mind.

Future Rapid Travel.

Mr. Lindsay Bashford, writing in the Edinburgh Review, foreshadows a London to Calcutta journey by rail in a fortnight. “The Bagdad railway," he says, “begins at Konla, in the heart es Asia Minor, where, by means of the Anatolian railway, it connects with Constantinople. From Constantinople to Aleppo the distance is some 850 miles. From Aleppo, the line proceeds to Jerablus, on the Euphrates, and thence by Nisibln to the Important center of Mosul on the Tigris; thence southwards to Bagdad and to Basra. The distance from Aleppo to Bagdad is about 650 miles. “Carry the imagination further, and we may reasonably picture, under the new political arrangements between Great Britain and Persia, the extension of the Bagdad railway to Teheran, and thence to Quetta and India. That done travel ‘overland’ between London and Calcutta should be a matter as less than a fortnight.”

Revenge.

Sucking a stick of cafidy, the small brother of the village belle eyed the visitor. The belle aforesaid had seen fit to administer severe punishment, and the small boy was seeking vengeance. “I know why Gwendoline wears her hafr jhnnched down over her ears,” he breathed between the sucks and grins maliciously. . “Do youF asked the young man, to whom any news concerning his adored one was welcome. “Wont you tell me?”. • ...» “No,” he replied; “I daren't tellanyone.' But if my ears, were as big as Gwendoline’s are I'd do it, too.” — Boulton Post

Another Use for the Airplane.

.Eclipse observation by dlrptane is declared W. Merrill to be not chimerical. A modern plane could readily surmount any ordinary fog or cumulus cloud, though cirrus is usuallytoo high, and, aside from cirrus ctoods, the observer would have a wonderfully clear dark sky. And photographic observations are not out of the question. A DeHavlland plane with a Liberty motor, feet agtttade, rides more smoothly than a tinin, and should permit direct photoiftaphs on a small scale, especially if «s plane were equipped with a gyroscopic stabilizer.

PLAY, TO BEAT FATHER TIME

New York Physician's Advice to Those Who May Be Conscious of the Passing Years. - Don*t grow old —or rather, though grow old as far as years are concerned, do not get old otherwise. It is easy to stay young, according to Dr. Louis R. WeltzmHler, physical director of West Side Y. M. C. A. He avers that most people grow old because they cease doing young things; not because they need new glands. “A man is young,” said the doctor, "because he plays; be doesn’t play because he is young. He is the product of his own actions. The old man who sits down after dinner, grouchy because the children make a noise, has already passed on.' He ought to be Oslerlzed. All he Is worth to the family is the pay check he brings home. “But look at mother, who plays games with the children, sympathizes with them in their troubles and has a part In all they do. She remains flexible; she hasn’t had time to grow old. “It is dangerous for some men to retire from business. You know’ the kind who work at high tension for long years, doing nothing but strive ’ for money. They get it and then announce their retirement; a little later you read a nice obituary saying what a success they had made. They hadn’t. “To keep young one must 'do young things. Don’t be too dignified to play baseball, old cat, leapfrog or other lively things whidh keep the ipuscles in trim. Have young associates and be a boy with them. Spend time each day studying to be young. Fish, hunt, golf, if yorf like it, and don’t cry quits the first time a muscle twinges; get into the game harder and go to the gym to work out the ache, or play with the kids until you forget it. “Take youth with you as you go toward the old age. You can lead Father Time a merry race by thinking young, playing young and keeping physically fit.”—New York Sun.

Food Plentiful in the Woods.

It is said Daniel Boone could take his rifle and a bag of salt and live in comfort on what the woods provided. Several men on wagers have gone Into the forest virtually naked and worked out a living and suitable clotbing equipment. According to foresters of the New York State College of Forestry at Syracuse, it is still possible to find in the forests of the state, even without the use of the game which is so carefully protected, Sufficient food to make life not only possible but pleasant, says the New York Evening Sun. This forest food supply is divided into several groups such as fruits, nuts, herbs, roots and vegetables. And this makes no allowance for the types -of edible mushrooms, for a special knowledge of varieties is necessary if one is not to be poisoned by the deadly toadstool.

An Author's Depository.

Last year the Sutro branch of the California State library, located tn San Francisco, offered to receive for safe keeping the manuscripts of unfinished books. The idea has worked out so well that a substantial collection of manuscripts has been established, the collection being described as the Author’s depository. One hundred authors have taken advantage of the offer and have sent their manuscripts’ either printed or unprinted, finished or unfinished, to the depository, and letters from authors indicate that the depository Is much appreciated by writers as a means of preserving valuable • matter that might otherwise became lost. A permanent author’s depository is also maintained in the California department of the state library, which is located at Sacramento.

His Size.

John’s expenditures at college had grown to be of such dimensions that father demanded they be decreased. To help out in this he required an Itemized account of all his demands for money. So when John wished a dog as several of the other elite collegians- had, he had to send in this request: ‘Tor one bulldog with a pedigree, 150.” The answer came in due time. And besides the small check In the envelope was this note: ‘Xap sending you |5. If you have to have something with a pedigree, buy a canary bird. It’s about your size.”

Simple Explanation of “Haunt”

The mystery of haunted houses often has a simple explanation. In Boston, where the occupants of a Bjose insisted they heard mysterious sounds, it was found that A flue leading from the furnace leaked, filling the rooms with enough carbon monoxide to produce a slight poisoplng, which affected the judgment and caused them to believe they heard mysterious noises. When the leak was discovered and repaired there were no longer records of the noises which had existed solely In the minds of persons affected by the gases. ' .

STILL MAKE BOWS

OM Weapon of War and Chase Not Yet Obsolete. Quantity of Yew Wood, to Be Used for That Purpose, Recently Sold by the Government Forest Service. It la a far cry from long range rifles and high-powered explosives to the bow and arrow of the American Indian. Nevertheless, bows and arrows are still used by the small boy, albeit not without sorrow to the neighbor’s chickens. There is also a demand for stronger and more expensive bows for archers of mature years. Doubtless these facts account for a recent sale, on the Snoqualmie national forest In Washington, of a quantity of yew, to be used in making bows. Although the forest service of the United States department of agriculture sells a variety of forest products for unusual uses, this la probably the first case in which the final product is to be one of the oldest and most common weapons known to the world. The yew has long been known aa the best of all bow woods. Famous English archers would have no other. Richard HI. ordered bowyers to make four bows of witch hazel, ash, or elm to every one of yew, in order that the supply of this valued wood might be preserved. This is said to be one of the earliest forest regulations in England. The staves from which bows were made in those early days were seasoned for three years before being made into bows and the bows were not used for two years after being completed. The American yew is botanlcally very similar to the European yew. One of the three species found in the United States grows only in Florida and is a small tree. Another Is a shrub growing in the north Atlantic region, while the third occurs in the forests of the Pacific coast It is the latter that grows in the Snoqualmie national forest. When mature It usually is from 20 to 30 feet high and from 6 to 12 inches in diameter. On account of its elasticity and strength the Indians of the Northwest utilized the wood of the yew for their bows and often for canoe paddles. Yew, wood is also well adapted to carving and numerous attractive articles can be made from It Not only does the grain of the wood make It possible to carve attractive designs, but thft combination of red bark, white sapwMfl, and rose-red heartwood make especially pleasing effects possible.

Night Doctors.

“Paris has organized a service of night doctors,” writes a correspondent from the French capital. “It is rather remarkable,” continues the correspondent, that we have not had this before. “You fall ill in the night, or your relation falls 111. You Immediately telephone to the family doctor. Possibly he is out attending a case. Who, then, to summon? You don’t know. Someone thldks there is a doctor two streets away, and away you dash. Yes, he is In, and he will come. He comes. He Is a tired man. His eyes are heavy with sleep. Aside, he tells you he has had little rest for a week. If your own medical adviser had come it would have been the same. What a travesty of system to work men night and day! Manifestly there ought to be a panel of doctors—fresh, vigorous, and ready for a busy nights work —who have not been at work Anting the day. In Paris, the night doctor will be installed at the police station and he will be ready, of course, to go wherever he is called.”

Catching the “Bad Boy.”

It seems to niany that the fiationwide search for the “baddest boy^, would be more Interesting if it were» conducted along more intelligent lines. The searchers, it seems, start out irresponsibly, frankly and specifically demanding the worst boy. They’ll never find him in such a simple manner, for the boy they’re seeking is bad, and that means he’s clever. He probably does not attend Sunday school the year ’round, but very likely he gets in on all the Christmas trees. Why not, then, catch him with a Christmas tree? Pass the word out that next Christmas there.’will be a tree with presents for good little boys; no bad little boy will be allowed a look-in; bad title boys are not wanted, and are defied to get in by any hook or crook. Then, after the excerclses are under way, the searchers may look over their audience, and pick out their worst boy. He rimy be hard to pick out.from all the rest, but he’Ll be there. —Kansas City Star.

Violets Profitable.

Violet farming is profitable work. A woman horticulturist whom I know in Hampshire (says an English correspondent) made a good livelihood out of it in pre-war days, and, having now been demobbed, is again installed on her picturesque estate. She cultivates violets of a mammoth size, and of exquisite perfume. Some, are destined for decorative purposes, some for the scent factory, while others find a ready market in the confectionery trade, where crystallized I violets are in large demand.
