President’s Attempt to Put World Into Two Camps
WASHINGTON—When it rarao time for the president to arrange for the
W customary dinners to tho diplomatic corps this winter. Mr. Wilson and
liis Bocial, military and diplomatic assistants found themselves up against a
hard proposition, due to the European
war. j’rum the first it was evident
that two dinners must be given, ami
so the president undertook to divide
the diplomatic world of Washington
into two camps, each of which would
bo harmonious.
First, he put in camp No. 1 the
entente powers, and in camp No. 2 tho
central powers. So fur, so good. '1 hen,
closing his ears to the whisperings of
those who professed to know the sen-
timent of the neutral countries. Mr.
Wilson took the little blue-covered diplomatic book issued by the state
department and placed in camp No. 1 the first neutral representative on the
list. The next he put in the second camp, and alternating thus, he had the
world divided into camps, with the United StateB standing between.
It was an Ingenious though simple plan, and seemed to give assurance
of peace nt the festive board. But on second thought the chief executive
gave it up and adopted another. The belligerent, leaders of each camp were
left as they were, but along with each of these groups the representatives
of all tho neutral countries were invited. So peace reigned anyhow, und
the lucky neutrals had two dinners instead of one.
Little Incident in a Street Car in Washington
a FAT, wabbly woman, overburdened with what you might literally call a
A game bag filled with trophies of the day’s bargain hunt, entered a
crowded car. No man showed symptoms of chivalry, and as a fat, wabbly
woman dangling at a strap makes
somewhat distressing show of herself,
a young woman arose and gave up her
seat.
This act of courtesy aroused no
belated gallantry in the man passen- r
gers, each of whom read his paper or * 1

hand for tho
looked bluntly satisfied and uncaring,
as, of course, he had a right to do if
he wished.
After a bit a man boarded the car,
saw tho girl, cordially shook her free
hand and said to her in the voice of
one who owns the world and all there Is in it:
"If you want to hear me speak here's your chance,
capitol with me now for luncheon. Mary will be there.’’
"Thank you, not this time, senator. We have a tea on
afternoon. Try to look in on us -”
Our home men aro not toadies, but there are always exceptions. And
they happened to be in tbe car. Every newspaper lost Its lure for tho
reader masked behind its pages. Every stolid passenger who had ignored
the mere everyday woman who had given them an object lesson in unselfish-
ness became simultaneously solicitous to place his share of the car at the
disposal of tho booming-toned senator and his friend.
Neither paid any attention, thanks be; and that was all there was to
it except that-
It was anly another proof of a now generally accepted fact—that young
women who go out in the world to battle for right of way are acquiring a
protective tenderness for all who are old and helpless—a protective tender-
ness which men are throwing aside, and which selfish, home-pampered
women and girls never did have, and never will.

Mr. Newman had just recovered
from an operation and was talking to
a friend.
"The surgeon," lie remarked, "said
he’d have mo on my feet again in

"Well, lie did it. didn’t lie?" asked

"Me did. Indeed," responded Mr.
Newman. "1 had to sell my motor car

No Pomp in Switzerland.
Mow many Englishmen- or. for (lint
matter, how many Swiss living in Eng*
land—could give offhand the name of
the president of the Swiss confedera-
tion? In accordance with the Swiss
constitution, the head of the state, nr
the president of the federal council, as
he is officially called, only holds of
flee for a year, and is elected every
December The federal assembly lias
just elected its president for next year.
Mo is M. Camille Deeoppct, who re
cedved 1S."> votes out of IKS.
Owing to the curious international
position of Switzerland and its relit
tlons with the belligerent powers, the
position might be supposed to be one
of considerable importance, but even
the Swiss people are apathetic as to
who shall occupy it, and they give to
their chief no state honors whatever.
Me is accessible to almost anybody,
and a British minister at Ilerne has
told how. when he went to visit tho
president once, the door was opened
by his wife, who was busy cooking,
while the president was sitting at his
desk in his shirt sleeves. Switzer-
land is a true republic, according to
the old and classic ideal the only
one.—Manchester Guardian.

MAN WEAKEST OF ANIMALS QUEER GIFTS TO ROYALTY
Foreign Lotteries Worrying Postal Authorities
wNCR'EASE In the number of government lotteries abroad, ns the wnr drags
1 itself out, is forcing United States postal authorities to be especially
watchful to prevent their advertisement in this country. The lotteries aro
given publicity in the United States
in two ways, it is said at tho post of-
fice department. Individual letters
aro written to American citizens in an
effort to induce them to purchase tick-
ets and news stories are circulated of
fabulous sums won.
Letters soliciting clients, if they
fall into the department’s hands never
reach their de«tlnBti"t>s. Some g> t
through the department If on the out-
side they do not present suspicion*
appearance. All the suspected letters
are diverted and opened. With news stories the department does not find
It so easy to deal. The solicitor’s office of the department holds that any
news story advertising a lottery must bo barred from the mails. Under the
department’s*ruling this means any story giving publicity to a lottery. It
does not have to be a paid advertisement.
Many news stories of European lotteries have been printed recently, the
department says, which approach closely a violation of the law. A story
that mentions the name of a winner or winners of a lottery Is held to be
a distinct violation. A story, too, that might be expected to uttract such
attention to a lottery that readers would investigate Is held to be a violation.
Most of the lotteries being carried on In Europe now are for war bene-
fits. Hospitals, the wounded, soldiers’ dependents and other war victim*
are aided.

In proportion to size, man Is one of
the weakest animals on the earth. The
muscles of a large'-sized oyster will
support a weight of 37 pounds. There
is a crab that will IHt 492 times its
own weight. This !h the equivalent
of an average size man raising 73,800
pounds.
Felix Flateau, a Belgian scientist,
who made many experiments, found
that the strength of a fly which was
able lo lift u inatcbattck, compared
with a man’s supporting with bis feet
a beam fourteen feet long and two feet
six inches square.
There Is a little bug that can drag
six matches, equivalent to a man s
pulling 330 beams ns big as himself.
To meusure the strength of Insects
Flateau constructed delicate harness
attached lo a weighing machine. By
prodding the Insects he made them
move. Then he piled on weight until
they stopped. By this means be found
that a bee, weight for weight, was 30
times as strong as a horse.

Odd Ways In Which People Havo
Shown Their Devotion to the Race
That Ruled Them.
New Year in the fifteenth century
was not an occasion which was wel-
comed without some regrets, for many
were taxed to meet the requirements
of royalty on that day. Each titled
gentleman bad the form and value of
tils gift to the king prescribed. Regu-
lations provided that an earl should
appear at the royal presence chamber
at eight o’clock New Year morning
to deliver a five shilling purse contain-
ing 2e shilling coins to the lord cham-
berlain for the king.
Next the earl visited the Jewel house,
win re he received a ticket, which en-
titled him to a gift of IK shillings 6
pence, the ti pence of which he was re-
quired to give for a box for the ticket.
The same morning he went to another
office to select a piece of silver plate
weighing about 30 ounces, but left it
iintII afternoon, when he returned for
It. At that time he gave the man who
ht.fidcd it to him 40 shillings In gold.
2 shillings for the box and ti pence to
the porter.

Why Guns Are Fired in Salute.
This is a sign of honor reserved
for royal and very distinguished per-
sons. When ships or coast forts fire I
their guns to welcome a distinguished
visitor tho compliment, though noisy
in form, is more delicate in intention
than some of us know. It means that
we know the purpose of the visitor's
coming is sd peaceful that we nsed
not keep our guns loaded, but Joyfully
empty them in his presence.
Make Punctuality a Habit.
Somebody said that the man who
was always on time spent half his life
waiting for the other man. Perhaps
that Is so; yet the fact is no excuse
for those who are habitually late. And
really It Is quite as easy to be on time
as it is to be late, if we only make
pnnctuallty a habit.

Uncle Sam Looks After the Health of the Oyster
rvESIROUS that more of the hundred million Inhabitants of this country
U should realize their good fortune in living near the wat'-rs in which oys-
ters grow better than anywhere else iu the world, the federal government is
doing all that it can to Increase tho
consumption of this cheapest of ani-
mal foods.
For a generation the bureau of
fisheries of the department of com-
taerce has made a study of the oyster,
and has revealed details of Its life
history that have made possible its
propagation with increasing success,
and to such an extent that Its price
has remained practically the same for
25 years. More recently the bureau
of chemistry of tho department of
agriculture and the public health service of the treasury department have
been co-operating In a sanitary survey of the oyster beds of the Atlantie
coast, which has resulted in the closing of those found to be in any waj
polluted. The work of Its various agencies has been so thorough that the
government announces that oysters are more sanitary and better than ever
before.
! In the enforcement of sanitary regulations concerning oyster beds the
federal jforernment has, of course, been restricted to oysters entering Inter
state commerce, but by co-operation with Tarlous states the good effects ol
Ike federal work hare been extended practically all over tbe. country.
