Interesting- cases showing the importance of the part played by the pancreas, a gland of the abdomen connecting the liver and spleen In tho normal development of the body, are recorded by Dr. Eric Prltchard. lec turing; before tlie ChilJ Study society, he referred to cases of arrested develop ment which were entirely due to lack of the function of this organ. When, how ever, a glycerine extract of pancreas se cretion waa given the patients, these little peter Pans began arrowing again.

Tlie cabinet dinner at the White House on Decem ber 17 opens the reason of official din ' nets, a season which grows steadily : longer and which will have to move this winter at a loss leisurely pace. If unrnn well luM nlans are not gang aglee. There will be four now faces in the official family v-.n it gathers -around the table in the state dining room for its last annual dinner with the. president and Mrs. Roosevelt, as hosts. The -war department has al ready a new head, and by the time the Invitations for the rirst cabinet dinner of the winter are in circulation the new secretary of tho navy will be ensconced. General and Mrs. Wright and Secretary and Mrs. Newberry are all on the threshold of their first sea son in the cabinet circle. The retirement of Mr. and Mrs. Met cslf at this time is a matter of wide re gret. Mrs. Mi tcalf has been a gracious and popular Sostess. She is a close friend of Mrs. Roosevelt, and has taken a warm personal interest in the debut ' of Miss Roosevelt. Mr. and Mrs. New berry have a distinctive place In Washington-society, as they have in that of thajr home cltv, Detroit. Their house In Sixteenth street which, they bought I hortlv after coming to Washington, three years ago lias been the scene of frequent hospitality. Their only daugh ter. Miss Carol Newbefry, made her debut there last winter, Mrs. Newberry giving one of the first debutante lunch eons of the season, the tea at which she presented Miss Newberry following within a few weeks. Mrs. Newberry, who is considered one of the handsom est women in official circles in Wash ington, also has the reputation of be ing at all times among the most taste fully dressed. Her gray hair gives her additional charm and distinction to her young face. - , - White House Sights. Thursday, during January and Feb ruary, have come to be recognized as White House nights, since the begin ning of the i Roosevelt administration, and ' will be ' so . regarded during thu present season, an arrangement which facilitates social plans "in other hospit able households. A ho:ltess, for in e lance, who might desire to entertain at dinner in honor f the Austrian am bassador and Baroness Hengelmuller, would not select a Thursday early in January, knowing that the dinner to the diplomatic corps at the White House is on the cards for either thi first' or second Thursday of the year. Next winter the world in Washington will bide the announcement of the offi cial program before making even con tingent plans. White House night is a movable feast, every newcomer making - his own" selection. The Clevelands bo- fan with Thursdays, but changed . to uesdays, because, as Mrs. John Sher man explained, in an era of simpler life. Thursday was the. prayer meeting night, when there were services lu both the Methodist and Presbyterian churches, nd lectures in the Episcopal church. The McKinleys chose Wednesday, Whereupon the women of the cabinet held a conference, which was a fore runner of the meetings of the cabinet women, which have been a regular feature of Tuesday mornings during the season, since the beginning of Mrs. Roosevelt's regime in the White House. The suggestion was made at tfie time that, with a White House reception in ; prospect for the evening, the women of' the cabinet circle would abandon their ! Wednesday afternoon receptions, or, rather, select another day for them, j There were women in the oablnet at the! time whose memory of official society i at Washington went back nearly half ; a century. In all those years Wednes- day had oeen the at home day for the ! wives of the vice president and cabinet ministers. There were newcomers to , whom one day was as good as another. and, shaking nan do nrst in ones own drawing room and later In the blue room for six or eight hours, all told, an impossible proposition. The debate was ft warm one, and ending in upholding the dignity of traditions. "We could not. of course, change the day." was the simple and conclusive explanation of the wife of the secre tary of state. The only concession made to the White House was the cur tailing of the afternoon receptions. Instead of continuing until 6. calling hours in cabinet homes on afternoons which were to be followed by an even ing reception at the White House, ended at 6 o'clock, Inauguration Expense. Senator Burrows, of Michiean. Is strong for a return to the simplicity I of our forefathers, when it comes to the! Inauguration of this president. If he ! had Ids way, ther would bo none of1, the 'fuss und i'e&Thers" which now at- j tends the ceremony. Incidentally.' there would ho no question an to! whether the government should puv the I expense of the Inauguration or the pio ple of the district should contribute; their money for this purpose, because i there wouldn't lie any expense. I The plan to have congress approprl-1 ate a sufficient sum to cover these ex-; pauses was laid before Senator Bur rows. The senior senator from Miehl- gan said that he had given no considera tion to the matter, and did not wish to I pass snap Judgment on It. He sug- I nested, however, that if the elaborate ! parade ad inaugural ball were cut out. there would be no need for congress or nnvone to put up the money. He sug gested Tl might he a better plan to have some simple religious ceremony after the president and vice president had taken the oath of office. London, Deo. 1 With a labor man in the chair and Premier Asquith's best wishes expressed in a letter neroro , him. the Hon. A. J. Balfour, the former , prime minister, delivered this week his ; presidential address at tho meeting of ' , I. ............ V, n ..a.'Iq tlon n hntlv ! which is interested In developing the! Iheorv that In copartnership lies mo solution of some -of tho problems of labor and capital. Finding Its inception In the ranks of the labor partv, the association has ob lalned I he support of men like Sir Christopher Kurness. head of Furness, Withy & Co.. of West Hartlepool, whose recent practical application of the co partnership theory in meeting with great success; Professor A. O. Plgou, the well known authority on economics; Lord Rlpon, Lord Rothschild. Robert Samuel. M. P.. and the most Rev. Randall T. Davidson, archbishop of Canterbury; for as Mr. Balfour said In the course of his address the new movement was not merely introduced to determine disputes between labor and capital, but with the object of Increasing the knowledge of the non-partisan class of business meth ods, business difficulties, and business risks as well as business profits. Mr. Balfour's discussion of the subject, was marked by that philosophic thought characteristic of him. "You cannot carry on a dirrtcuii dus lness requiring initiative, requiring cour age, requiring risks to be taken, requir ing the Instinct for the adaptation of the means to the end by means of a committee." he said. "The result of my own personal observations upon the wav the business of the world is car ried on Is that the really good work of an original kind Is always done oy the individual without associates. ' - Cites Ministry as Example. The former premier went on to In ti.np. tho Ttrltlsh consul avstem. where each minister controlled his own office, i but consulted another minister or the j nihnla fShtnnt on OlieStlOnS Of dOUbt I or difficulty, but, where It was the one , nun whn did the work, and not a com- i mittee, as the system producing the best results. There were great depart- ments of public life where ownig to uiat , fact not being sufficiently considered.! the result was an enormous waste of brains, time, and temper, with an amax- I ingly indifferent output or erncieni work. "That is my view." said Mr. Balfour, "of the way of conducting the busi ness of the world, from what my experi ence, which is getting longer than I like, is worth, and if it be thought that the Introduction of the copartnership system would prevent that Initiative which depends on man as an Individ ual and transfer that initiative into the Incompetent hands of a committee, however able, I should despair of the process." . Mr. Balfour next gave expression to the theory of what he called the art of life. "We lose a great deal," he said, "by talking as If the labor of the man whose life is devoted to labor was in itself an evil, but that it becomes toler able because he Is paid for his labor. I do not say that labor is pleasure, but 1 do emphatically say that unless the work we do in life can be inherently Interesting I do not say pleasurable we have not jet got at the root of any social problem. labor Satisfies Wot Pleasure.

Two Railroads Assured For Bandon. A prominent man closely connected with the two great railroad systems of the NORTHWEST made the statement the other day that it was an indisputable fact that both HILL and HAR RIMAN would have a RAILROAD INTO BANDON inside of TWO YEARS. It is also an nounced by a party who recently investigated the RAILROAD PROPOSITION in the BAN DON COUNTRY that it is only a question of a FEW MONTHS until an ELECTRIC LINE would connect MARSHFIELD, NORTH BEND and BANDON with ROSEBURG, ORE GON.

GODDARD 110 SECOND STREET Who Should Payf However, the qjipstlon as to whether the government of the United States should pay the expenses of the presi dential inauguration, and not the resi dents of the DtHtrlct of Columbia, has created a good deal of Interest, not only among citizens, but among the members of congress- who have returned to Washington. There seems to be a prettv definite opinion among the members of congress that if the gov ernment does pay the expenses, citi zens of the district should respond by keeninr down the prices charged visit ors In Washington during the inaugural ceremonies. Senator Clark of Wyoming said that tie ssw no good reason why the gov ernment should not meet the Inaugura tion expenses. He said, however, that clOaVus pf Ahe district were the ones who -derived th benefit from- the crowds, and that if the government paid forsthe fun" the citizens should not raise' prices when strangers come litre at that time. . .. ,M ; . , ; ' . , SmIt ; Snffrar. .

"Only In Washington, the capital symbolic of our fundamental Institu tions, Ik the ballot denied the American citizen," continued the former senator, who was the chief speaker of the even ing. "As colonists we have undoubtedly been favored, but w-e have been held and "ruled by a force not springing from ourselves. The reaction upon the coun try at large, not to mention those who reside temporarily In the district, is un healthy. "If we are ever to be rid of this con dition of affairs this agitation must continue here until it penetrates the country. Those most directly con cerned must take the Initial steps.

It will not do to overturn our present form of government unless that which we substitute really offers sub stantial and permanent advantages." Ex-Benator Blair went into an exten sive consideration of the subject. He advocated an amendment to the consti tution, giving the district one senator 1 and two representatives.
