EYES OF GENII WATCH
KING AWARD HONORS
Many Are Prominently Men
tioned for Places in
/ “Order of Merit”
(By Associated Press )
LONDON. Dec. 28.—The honors to be
conferred by King George on New Year’s
have given rise to some interetsing ru
mors.
The vacancy roll of the Order of Merit
naturally creates the greatest specula
tion. The name of Mrs. Humphrey
Ward, the writer, has been mentioned
in this connection, but it Is likely that
while she will receive some recognition,
this greater honor will go to some
member of the British academy. Many
people would like to see Sir Aston Webb,
the architect, become the successor to
the lute Bir Lawrence Alma-Tadema as
a member of this order. It Is said that
John S- Sargeant, the American artist,
would have received it had he become
a British subject.
Johnston Forbes-Robertson, the actor,
it is said, will on thia occasion be
dubbed a knight.
Prince Arthur of Connaught, the son
of the Duke of Connaught, governor
general of CUnada. is due to receive a
dukedom, probably that of Kent, but
this may be postponed until the king's
birthday.
New peerages will be few and all of
them outside of parliament, as the gov
ernment is not willing to run any fur
ther risk of losing by elections.
FLOATING ISLANDS IN
GATUN LAKE ATTRACT
Ry Associated Prose.)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—Floating
islands are the latest phenomena to ap
pear as the Panama canal approaches
completion. The term Is used to de
scribe masses of vegetation and earth
loosened from the bottom of Gatun lake
by the rising water and blown about the
surface by changing winds. These
islands virtually are sections of the
floor of the swamp that have been over
run by the water backed up in the val
ley by the Gatun dam.
The islands are, at times, so thick
that a launch cannot make its way
through them, although they are not
an obstacle or Inconvenience to steam
ships. The launch Balbao is at present
busy towing them to the spillway, where
they float over the dam. No trouble is
anticipated after the sluice gates are
installed, as the aperture between piers
on the dam crest will be forty-flve feet.
SIGHT-SEEING ON DRY
CANAL IS NEW FAD
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—The sight
seeing business, which has reached large
proportions in the Pafflrma canal xone,
has been systematized. It is expected
that more visitors than ever will seek
the canal during the coming dry season,
and preparations have been made to take
care of them. A sightseeing train now
is a part of the work in the zone. In
any two consecutive week days it is
possible to see the entire work. A sec
ond tourist car is under construction, so
that H Roon will be possible to take 150
people over the route at one time. This
arrangement obviates all the dangers
which would necessarily attend visitors
who tried to make an inspection un
guided.

MTnrO IM GBEBK TOXICS.
The very latest fad or folly is
“eurythmy,” and it’s done in the most
fairy, airy garb a devotee of the an
cient Grecian era could devise out of
goods obtainable in the modern dry
goods store.
Real swell society girls now seek
eurythmy two or three times a week.
That is. the real swell society girls of
Evanston, the classic, wealthy suburb
of Chicago, are going to that limit
over it.
At first they sought the soulful har
mony of eurythmy In their abbreviated
bathing costumes, but it wasn’t any
time at all hardly before it dawned
upon them that eurythmy IS entirely too
Grecian to be danced with so many
clothes on.
“Ah, we will wear chiffon veils,’’
chirped a class qf “buds” in happy uni
son.
“So Isadora replied the
eurythmy teacher, Mrs. Martha Rus

her eurythmy pointers at Dresden. Ger
many, where it was thought up. “But,”
she added, with sorrowing wistfulness,
‘‘you’re too white, my dears. The Gre
cian maidens were tanned to a deep,
dark brown by several centuries of chif

Claim Agent Surprised
At Honesty of Interior
Department Withsi .50
(By Asoociated Praia.)
WASHINGTON Dec. 28.—The depart
ment of the interior has shocked the
claim agent of the New .York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad to the
point where he now is reported to be
dased and all but incoherent.
The department has a set of fine na
tional park views, which it sende from
place to place for free exhibition.
On the way from Worcester, Mass.,
to New York, two of the pictures were
damaged, and a New York art dealer
estimated that it would cost 111 to make
the needed repairs. A bill for that
amount was collected from the rail
road company.
In the meantime, however, the pic
tures had been shipped to Providence,
R. 1., for exhibition and a picture frame
dealer in that city repaired the pictures
for $9.50. The custodian of the collec
tion sent his personal check for the dif
ference. 11.50, to the inerior depart
ment.
This refund on damages already paid
was forwarded to the New York, New
Haven and Hartford claim agent.
“Can such things be?” he gasped. It
is reported that he will recover.

Investigation for the present would be

WELL KNOWN HORSEMAN
REPORTEQ SERIOUSLY ILL
(By Anociatad Fraas.)
NEW YORK. Dec . 27.—James R.
Keene, who has not been in good health
for a long while, is reported today to be
in worse condition than at any time
since he returned from abroad several
months ago. Nothing definite was given
out as to the nature of the horseman’s
illness, but it was admitted that he was
sick at his apartments in a hotel and
was unable to visit his country home
on Long Island.
The fact that Mr. Keene was confined
by his Illness became known after the
suicide, yesterday, of his valet, Frank
Fiesler, who killed himself in a room
ing house by cutting his throat. It was
said that Mr. Keene was In such a con
dition that the doctor forbade news of
the suicide being broken to him, al
though he was told that Fiasler had
died suddenly.
“X have it!” breathlessly exclaimed
a millionairess-in-her-own-right. "We’ll
wear—light brown union suits and
brown stockings.”
Now Evanston does the eurythmy in
four yards of chiffon, clinging light
brown underwear and brown stockings,
except the more venturesome who have
shapely ankles tinted with real sun
burned tan. They don’t wear the stock
ings.
Misses Virginia Fi<ssinger and Ros
chen Turck Baker, said to be the two
best exponents of the eurythmy cult in
America, both agree that stockings
clutter up a eurythmyst something aw
ful.
Euiythmy isn’t dancing like turkey
trotting or bunny-hugging; nor does it
look likqr a first cousin to the good old
square dances. Mrs. Russell says it isn’t
dancing at all.
"Eurythmy is a serious educational
theory,” she declates. "Rhythm is at the
bottom of it and rhythm will discipline
the mind as well as the body. Every
movement means a definite beat in the
metrical structure of the music. The
actions may be read from mu«ic sheets,
only we dance the notes instead of
playing them.”

MEN QUIT TEACHING AS
WOMEN GET MORE PAY
(By Aaseetated Pre**.)
NEW YORK, Dec. 27.—Equal pay for
New York school teachers, that is, no
discrimination so far as sex is con
cerned, has resulted in such a falling
off in the enrollment of men teachers
that President Egerton L. Winthrop, Jr.,
of the board of education, seriously de
plores the loss in his annual report
made public today. The new equal pay
law went into effect ~ only this year.
President Winthrop considers it too
early to forecast the result, he finds
that already there is a regretable loss
of men applicants. He regrets this be
cause the influence of mon, especially
upon boys, in the upper grades is re
garded as most advantageous. In other
respects he believes the eqtfal pay law
has benefited the school system.
An interesting action taken by the
board of education was the discharge ot
a woman teacher who had taken an ex
amination under her maiden name with
the idea of keeping secret her mar
riage.
BANANAS AN ENEMY
TO HIGH COST OF LIVING
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON. Dec. 25.—The hum
ble but nutritious banana, in the opin
ion of American Consul Julius D. *Dro
her, at Port Antonio, Jamaica, must be
reckoned with as a real factor toward
reducing the “high cost of living,” but
in the same sentence he reported today
to the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce that the banana crop from Ja
maica alone this year w'ould be 1,000,000
bunches short. The United States con
sumes five times as much of the fruit
as any other single country.
“It is encouraging in this day of the
•high cost of living,’ ” says Mr. Dhoher,
“to have good reason for believing that
the banana is destined to play no small
part in meeting the world’s demand for
a larger and cheaper supply of whole
some food."
Drought and hurricanes. however,
have worked havoc with the Jamaican
crop.

WILSON KEEPS SILENT
IBOUT CIBINET JOBS
He Has Held Many Confer
ences but Has Announced
Nothing
BY BAX.P XSMTTK.
STAUNTON, Va.. Dec. 28.—Twelve
days ago when President-elect Wilson
returned from Bermuda, it was believed
that a few days at Trenton ’‘ith the
politicians would suffice to give the
country a line on the personnel of the
Democratic cabinet. Such has not been
the case. Today there ie more uncer
tainty, If possible, than there was when
Mr. Wilson landed from the steamship
Bermudian at the dock in New York.
A number of notable interviews at
Trenton between Mr. Wilson and men
prominent in the Democratic party have
served only to complicate matters. Mr.
Wilson has said never a word about his
conferences, except to reiterate that he
has reached no decision about his cabi
net. and the politicians who • have
seen him have been discreet enough to
hold their tongues. The expected de
velopments have not developed. That is
all there is to it.
The president-elect has conferred a
time or two with National Chairman
William F. McCombs. He has consulted
with William J. Bryan. He has talked
at considerable length with Champ
Clark. He has discussed ‘•matters”
with other notables, and the silence
that has followed all these Interviews
has left the country guessing.
From lack of developments at Tren
ton; it is evident that the country is
witnessing a brand new style of cabi
net-making by a president-elect, and it
seems practically certain tliat few. if
any, persons beside® Mr. Wilson him
self will know anything definite be
fore March 1. If he succeeds in all his
undertakings as president as well as he
has succeeded thus far in keeping his
own counsel about his official White
House family, his administration will
be a grand success.
On rejoining President-elect Wilson’s
party yesterday in Washington, I ex
pected to get some "insider informa
tion about events that have occurred
at Princeton and Trenton. T believed,
as every one else believed, that perhaps
the corps of correspondents had learn
ed in confidence many things that they
could not publish. I expected there
would be a lot of interesting gossip
about illuminating sidelights on the
Wilson-Bryan interview, an accurate
line on the Identity of the person who is
to serve at the White House as secre
tary to the president. In a word, I
thought I would get in the “know.”
But when I took stock I found that I
knew quite as much when I left Ber
muda as I know now. All that the news
paper men have been able to gather at
Princeton and Trenton, camping on the
trail of the president-elect, has been
published in the press from day to
day, and in so far as It reflects infor
mation on the plans of Mr. Wilson it
amounts to nothing.
It is possible—just barely possible,
and hardly probable—that two men may
know something of President-elect Wil
son’'j plans. They are McCombs, nation
al chairman, and Joseph Tumulty, clerk
of the supreme court of New Jersey,
who was formerly Governor Wilson’s
private secretary and confidential ad
viser. McCombs has interviewed Mr.
Wilson, or has been interviewed by Mr.
Wilson, two or three times, and Tumul
ty has had many conferences with the
governor. He may have imparted to
them some of hi>s plans with reference
to his cabinet, and then again he may
not. The chances are that he got their
views and kept his own to himself.

PRESERVE PEACE BY
MAKING READY FOR WAR
—Roosevelt.
Only Way t 0 Maintain Peace
Is by Keeping Army and

(By Associated Press.)
BOSTON, Dec. 28.—“1f I ever should
have occasion to write about the Span
ish war, I should have to write very
harshly of the high officers of the army
and navy,” declared former President
Roosevelt today before the military his
torical society of Massachusetts. “The
defects of the army men were more ob
vious than those of the naval officers.
The fault, however, was not theirs,” he
added: “It was the fault of the system,
which for thirty years had resulted in
no adequate preparation for wars. The
brigade commanders in our army in
Cuba and never seen a brigade in ser
vice since the Civul war and then they
were captains and lieutenants.”
Colonel Roosevelt said the non-com
missioned officers and junior officers of
the line who served in Cuba were “ex
cellent.” Some bureau chiefs in the war
department before the war occurred
were described by Colonel Roosevelt as
‘‘high minded estimable gentlemen but
utterly unable to understand the condi
tions of modern
One complained to him, he declared,
that “his department was running all
right until the war came along.” An
other, he said, told him to use the black
powder, because “the smoke will hide
your men.”
“There is but one way to maintain
peace,”, continued the Colonel, and that
Is by keeping our army and navy in
such a state of preparation that there
will be no temptation on the part of
some one else to go to war with us.”
The principle of arbitration was being
carried too far, he thought, and was
causing too little attention to be paid
to needed preparations for war.
"If you teach a soldier that he can
arbitrate a slap in the face, he won’t
fight,” said the Colonel, “and, likewise,
If you teach a nation to arbitrate a
matter of vital Interest to it, it won’t
fight.”
“I doubt if In this country there is
a more genuine advocate of peace than
I am. If there is war I will go/to It
and my sons will go, so I have perhaps,
at much at stake as any one. But
I know my countrymen; they will go to
war at the drop of the hat if their na
tional honor is jeojardized in any man
ner.”

It is not unpleasant to use and at
the same time it is entirely harmless,
and can be used by man, woman or
child.
Just as Catarrh is contracted by
breathing cold or dust and germ-laden
air, just so this balmy antiseptic smok
ing remedy goes to all the affected
parts of the air passages of the head,
nose, throat and lungs. It can readily
be seen why the ordinary treatments,
such as sprays, ointments, salves, liquid
or tablet medicines fall—they do not
and can not reach all the affected parts.
If you have catarrh of the nose,
throat or lungs, choking, stopped-up»
feeling, colds, catarrhal headaches; if
you are given to hawking and spitting,
this simple yet scientific treatment
should cure you.
An illustrated book which goes thor
oughly into the whole question of the
cause, cure and prevention of catarrh
will, upon request, be sent you by Dr.
J. W. Blosser, 51 Walton street, At
lanta, Ga.
He will, also, mall you five days’
free treatment. You will at once see
that it Is a wonderful remedy, and as
it only costs one dollar for the regular
treatment. It is within the reach of
everyone. It is not necessary to send
any money—simply send your name and
address and the booklet and free trial
package will be mailed you Immediately.
