' London, Dc. 12. 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.
In one .case, where there had been no
growth of development between the.
ages of t and 18 years, the patients,

. ' Washington, Dec 12. 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.
"The art of life is to make uninter-

the valuable result of going deeper than

capital and labor. The additional in

copartnership would instill Into the
minds of every worker and the greater

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. This will make "BANDON BY THE SEA" the most desirable and attractive HOME

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.

cism upon the present administration
of munlclpHl affairs was uttered by the
speakers. The commissioners were not ,
mentioned. j
"We tire now placed in the huniillat-J
lng position of being on the same basis
as a colonial dependency of the govern
ment." said the venerable former Hen-'
ator Henry M. Blair of New Hampshire,
who has resided in tlie district for
many years.
"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.
"Of course, in considering the rela
tive advantage of one man mid of three
man rule, we must take only, such ac
tion as looks towards permanent relief
from conditions caused by disfranchise
ment. 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. Not merely
suffrage as required, but representation '
also. "You would not have to beg for
measures of relief f(om ypur friends ;
