No new legislation Is ever proposed without evoking innumerable cock sure statements aa to how it will work, but every modest layman in politics should ever bear in mind that, aa to almost any really new leg islation, nobody can tell how It actually will work remarks the Sat urday Evening Post. The banking bill aptly illustrates this general rule. That bill proposes certain specific changes in bank roserves. You might innocently ImairIne that any experienced banker, with the provisions of the bill before mm anl a report of the controller of the currency at hand, could easily figure out what the banking position would be if the bill became law; but tne meianchcly fact Is that experl-J enced bankers arrive at diametrically opposite results. Some of them contend mat the bill will cause a contraction of credits; others contend inai It Will cause an inflation.

In addition to this the arms of Ireland are In the third quarter of the royal standard, while tbe flag flown by the lord lieutenant of Ireland is a Union Jack of Oreat Britain bearing the Irish harp on a blue field in its center. The Union Jack, in itself, has some Irish in Its makeup, for in 1801, when the legisNative union of Ireland with Great Brit aln took place, the cross of St. Patrick was incorporated in the flag. What is the correct meaning of the expression "many moons?" The Indians and poets use "moon" as the period of a synodical revolution of the moon around the earth In other words, a month. Shakespeare said in 'Pericles:" One twelve moons more She'll wear Diana's livery. What is the legend connected with the "Horn of Oldenburg?" Tbe horn of Oldenburg, which is still preserved in a church in Oldenburg, Germany, has the following legend connected with it: One day Otho of Oldenburg, being exhausted with hunting and very thirsty, exclaimed: "Oh, God. would that I had a cool drink! Whereupon there suddenly appeared before him a lovely maiden, who offered htea a drink in a richly carved horn. The beauty of Its workmanship induc ed Otho to make off with it, and he saved himself from evil consequences by bestowing It on the church. What place has been called the Gib raltar of America?

Uia father was a journalist He wrote bis first play in 1SD4, follow ed by "Cyrano de Bergerac" in 1897; "L'Alglon." in 1900; Cbantecler,M in 1910. De married Rosftmonde Gerard, author of "Lea Plpeauz," a volume of verse crowned by the French acad emy. Rostand himself waa elected to the French academy In 1902. When did the Iroquois theater fire ia i Chicago take place? Dec 80, 1003. What ia the history of Japan a colonizer? In 1895 Japan acquired her first colo ny, the small island of Formosa. Since then she baa obtained tbe island of Sakhalin by the treaty of Portsmouth and Korea by annexation. She also has in her possession, through a lease from China, tbe email province of Kwangtung. which includes Port Ar thur, and a long, narrow atrip of land along the Manchuria a. railroad. Tbe Japanese ere constantly increasing in number In these territories. They are born colonizers, and Californlans and Americans in the Philippines and in Hawaii, recognizing this characteristic, do not look with favor upon the Japanese. For example, the Japanese population in Hawaii numbered 22.000 in 1S9G, 5G.0OO In 1900 and 80,000 in 1910, according to the census figures. Where does the phrase occur, "What can't bo cured must be endured? It is an old proverb, origin not known, but Shakespeare in "Merry Wives of Windsor." act 5. scene cays, "What cannot be eschewed must be embraced." How do the seven wonders of the an cient world measure up to modern standards? Tbe seven wonders of the ancient world were provincial and unimpor tant compared with many achievements of modern times. A year or two ago an attempt was made to poll 1.000 scl entists in America and Europe regard ing the seven wonders of the modern world, and it resulted as follows: Wireless telegraphy, 244 votes; telephone. 185; aeroplane. 107; radium, 165: spec trum analysis, 126; X ray. 111; the Panama canal, 100; anaesthesia, 94 synthetic chemistry, 81. spreadng of all the acute exanthema If, in Missouri, where conditions of population are at most not crowded, such a step has seemed necessary how much more must such a law be ' needed in the densely packed tenements of New York, Chicago and oth er metroDOlitan cities, aaks The Jour nal of the American Medical Association.

Alter Keeping records for more than forty years a great statistician In Brussels, Charles Dubudout by name, says, despite common belief, man is more talkative than woman.

true of man. That's all right. Man speaks more words but doesnt say aa much. Great part of his conversation consists of 'Will you listen?" "Have a heart," 'Can't I eay a word?" "Now, be reasonable," "What the ?" and other remarks evident of an earest but generally unfulfilled desire to butt in. Probably have to go to Brussels to get the best results. IF CICERO HAD PLAYED GOLF, From the triumphs of youth wa turn to the consolations of old age The twenty year old victor of the national open golf champinship gives place in the day's news to the veter ans of fifty-five and older who have been competing at Apawamis. There is a peculiar fitness in the Juxtaposition of these two events, for they epitomize the whole story of gol and of its fascinations. Francis Ouiruet said the other day that it is a mistake to regard golf as an old man's game, but the statement is only part ly true, for golf is most emphatically an old mans game; the glory of it Is that it is a young man's game as well Youth will be served in golf, as in otner games .and Francis Ouimet snatches the laurels from the brows of two English veterans; but age is not, as in most athletic pursuits, rele gated to tne scrap heap, and the players who have reached or passed fifty-five muster in force each year to demonstrate to the young ones that they can still stay the course. Sev enty-nine, young Mr. Ouimet, which was W. E. Truesdale's best score, is not so very much worse than you often take yourself. If Cicero had played golf the prob ability is that his "De Senectute" would never have been written and the modern schoolboy would have been spared many laborious hours, for the links would have claimed the leisure that he devoted to that dignified treatise. But had he in the evenings found time to philosophize concerning old age, the resulting pages, we may be sure, would have read very differently. We should have been sagely directed not to strive for distance unattainable by those in whose limbs the sap of life no longer runs fresh and vigorous, but to pit our wisdom and experience against the lustier sinews of youth; we should have been warned that by keeping straight down the middle of the course we might sapiently avoid those many pitfalla by the way into which reckless youth is apt to rush; finally we should have been advised to devote ourselves above all else to the study of the short approach and the contemplation of the putt. There would have been encomiums on golf as the teacher of patience and resignation in adversity ; there would have been severe reprobation for those whose virtue is not steeled against the temptation to forget a stroke, and the peroration would have been devoted to a panegyric of the game as the single occupation that never stales from the cradle to the grave, and that takes rank, along with friendship, as among the greatest of the graciously permitted consolations of old age. There is a golf course today on the Roman Campagna within sight of the old Appian Way. Cicero would have seen it as he passed that way into exile and. we raav be sure, wnnid have lost no time in confiding to his correspondent Atticus his gloomy speculations as to whether good golf would be obtainable where he was going. It is certainly a misfortune for posterity that Cicero never, as the poet might have written: "Drove a ball in furious guise Alongr the Appian Way." Random THINGS AND FLINGS. PRESIDENT WILSON SIGNS NEW KEGULATION FOR HUNTERS." Headline. Game hunters or job hunters? DON'T know what the weather man says about what the weather will be on Tuesday, November 4, but our own private forecast is that it will be stormy in Gary and East Chicago. ONE of the loos-e planks in this eugenics craze is that it wasn't in vogue when some of the ancestors of some of its enthusiasts were living. OTHERWISE THEY WOULD BE DESPERATE. "Tis said that in India a native has to go to jail for two years if h reads a certain book written by Secretary Bryan.
