TRIBUTES, TO WILSON’S MASTERPIECE : A propose of the recent absurd attempt to picture the railroad law as fully equal in constructive statesmanship with that masterpiece of Wilsonjan Democracy, the Federal Reserve act, the comments of local bankers on the later are significant: George Waldschmidt, assistant cashier Lincoln National bank: . ‘“There is nohting the matter with the Federal Reserve system. If it was not for this banking system today this country ould be passing through the worst panic it ever knew. Investigations seldom do any harm, however so Idon’t suppose one will hurt in this case.” 7

H, A. Keplinger vice president First and Halmilton National bank: “This Federal Reserve system is the greatest blessing this country has ever known. If it had not been for this system we would not have successfully fiananced the war, Let them investigate if they want to. They can’t do it any harm. S =

Will B. Gutelius secretary Citizens Trust company: : ; “The Federal Reserve system has been making an enormous aniount of maney—so much that frequent -complaint is made about it. Of course this profit goes to the government. but it is too high according to the complaints made. An investigation perhaps would do no harm and I do not think it-out of order.” - ~ This is the act which Elihu Root stoutly insisted on the floor of the senate would “‘prostrate business with in three months” of its pasage, Today it looms as the greatest single piece of constructive statemanship in half a century. Indeed from the end o fthe civil war the Republican party has never produced any thing to approach it. Had Wilson not driven the lobby from aWshington for the first time in generations created the Federal Trade commisison directed the war and given the world fomulas of liberty that will live to the end of time, the Federal Reserve act alone would make :his administration .one of the greatest in American history.— Fort Wayns Journal Gazette.

STARVE PUNIES BEFORE RACE

In Mongofia, After Severe System. of Training, Animals Cover Fifteen Miles at a Stretch.

Horse races are a popular amuse ment in Mongolia. During the preliminary training of the entries, according to a writer in the Geographic Magazine, each competing pony is tied to a_ rope picketed on the grass plain. This rope Is shortened every day by a certain number of inches, thus reducing the circle in which the animal can graze. Yet, strange at it may seem, this method of gradual starvation—tested by centuries—appears to increase rather than diminish its endurance.

On the day of the race fetlocks are clipped and manes and tails tightly plaited with varicolored ribbons, so as to offer as little wind resistance as possible. The jockeys are children, and it is not unusual to see lads of nine or ten start on the exhausting stampede, which a Mongol race really is. | . No saddles are allowed, but each rider. is given a hedvy whip and a handkerchief. With the latter he leans over and wipes the dust from the eyes and nostrils of his mount, as otherwise the dust of the steppe might injure wind or eyesight.

Enthusiastic owners or spectators, including bishops and archbishops of the Lamaist faith, gallop out to meet the contestants and assist In whipping them in. But sometimes two. favorites arrive at the finish literally leaning agalnst each other, shoulder to shoulder. Thus they support each other on the run, though both are so exhausted that if they were suddenly separated they would drop in thelr tracks. " Wonderful tales are told of the distances covered by famous Mongol racers at a stretch. Fifty, even 100 miles at full gallop, are claimed. This is doubtless exaggeration, but/ 15 and 20-mile races at great speed over a straight course, are well authenticated.

HARFLEUR ONCE GREAT PORT Made So by English Invaders, Who Were Finally Driven Out of : : the Country. : S - After the conquest of England, Harfleur became the principal port of Normandy. The dukes and merchants worked together to make Harfleur a great maritime center. During the earlier period of the Hundred Years' war the sallors of Harfleur were the terror of the English. Naturally, says Herbert Adam Gibbons, in, Harper's Magazine, when Henry V felt that the time had come to annex Normandy to England, he made a point of establishing his control of the Seine by seizing Harfleur, expelling 1,600 families, and installing a strong garrison there. For thirty years Harfleur was in the hands of the English. So sure were they of perinanent occupancy that they built the tower of St. Martfn’s,' one of the glories of Normandy. In the great revolt against the foreign occupation, that swept over Normandy in. 1445, the bourgeois of Harfleur opened their gates to Grouchy de Monterolier, and drove out the English garrison. The English returned two years later. But it was a dying spurt. In 1450 the invader of a hundred years was compelled to give up his hold on the mouth of the Seine. The people of Harfleur still celebrate the uprising of 1445 on November 4.

Beautiful Petrified Woods.

The petrified woods are beautiful objects for study. When thin slices are carefully ground down to a thickness of 0.008 inch or less and placed under the microscope they show perfectly the original woed structure, all the cells being distinct, though now they are replaced by chalcedony. By studying the sections F. H. Knowlton, of the geological survey, has found that most of these araucarian trees were of the species 'Araucarioxylon arizonicum, a tree now extinet. It is known to. have lived at the same geologic time also in the east-central part of the United States, where the remains of some of its "associates have also been found. These Included other cone-bearing trees, ferns, cycads, and gigantic horsetails, which indicate that at that time the. rainfall of the Southwest was abundant, {g ~

When Peter Cooper Made Shoes . Peter Cooper, designer and builder of the first locomotive, was an inventor from childhood. Hlis first invention, according to Thrift Magazine, was a crude washing machine, or, in reality, an arrangement for pounding soiled linen on wash day. This he put together to help his hard-worked mother. But probably one of his greatest helps to his father, mother and eight brothers and sisters was the shoes he made for them. In his autoblography he tells how he made the shoes:

“I first obtained an old pair, and I took them apart t® see the structure, and then after procuring leathey, thread and needles and some suitable tools, without further instruction, I made the last, and a palr of shoes which compared very favorably with the country shoes then in vogue.”

. Armor Always in Use, : Men have used armor of some kind since the days of earliest record. Even more striking 18 the resemblance of modern armor to the armor of early design. Except in withstanding severe ballistic tests, neither our modern plate nor our padded armor seems to be much limproved. The helmet and corselet of today are in many respects strikingly similar to those of early times,. = e
