New Englander, Westerner. Southerner, each spurns the dishes most relished by the others. The job of striking a balance among these conflicting appetites falls to the lot of Joseph I. Lan der, manager of the six senate res taurants, who finds it harder to meet the requirements of the 96 members than to cater to the mul titudes of visitors that pass through the restaurants daily, T,hose multitudes are a widely fluctuating quantitr. One day u? Is called v on to serve only a few hundred patrons, Iwhile the, next day he may have! to feed two or three thousand.. ; He solves the problem thus presented by closely studying the news of the senate? proceedings. ; If a popular subject Is up for discussion, he knows that a large crowd will visit the galler ies and will require his ministra tions. ' .It's possible for him to take reasonable chances in trying to satisfy the public patrons, but that is not the case with the senators. They are, so to speak, "The boss,, and during his years of experience he has made it his business to know their preferences. " "One thing he has learned is to keep on tap a bountiful supply of old fashioned bean soup. That dish disappears to be non-partisan, having the support of senators from all sections of the country. One day, some years ago, he re moved it from the menu. The sen ate of the United States immedia tely toog informal but vigorous action, and bean soup was restor ed to the menu, permanently. At present, 20 gallons are made and consumed every day. ACADEMY QF LIARS kTO be reorganized 'Ancient Institution of Pre- , varrcators Active in - France Until 1850 PARIS. Gascons, famous for their tall tales, propose to reor ganize, the oldAcademy of Liars. This is the truth. The ancient institution of . prevaricators, with headquarters at Moncrabeau, in the south .of France, was active until 1850. . It held contests and awarded titles of capacity as liars. j There is a "Truth-Stone" in this town of 2000 population on which Is inscribed the authority given Academy members "to lie In all places but without harming any one but Truth." ' '--The-Soeiety of Gascon Watchers has an annual ' story telling con test la: the late spring, and it is at this festival of imagination that they Intend to. revive the Academy with its highest standards of vivid speech. - .

State Game Commissioner I. T. Quinn of Alabama sums up the situation as follows: "Three things, are absolutely necessary not only in the case of wild tur keys, but all other forms of wild life namely, protection, educa tion" and damnation! Education of the masses, protection and feed for the birds, and damnation for the violators. The trouble in retrograding states is that .responsibility is to day a shuttlecock. It is up to the thinking hunters of these states to save the wild turkey. It is up to the press of each of these states to alarm thc public by a revelation of true conditions. From the Sportsman. LIVING and LOVING SMILES ED AID td 6000 mm Professor at Washington State College Develops Teaching Method PULLMAN. Wash. (AT) "Orthography with a smile," nJcht be the slogan for a system of teaching spelling devised by Joseph M. Tewinkel, instructor at Washington State College here. His method is designed to takt the drudgery out of learning to spell: to eliminate the monotony of "education through renetition." Subconsciously, a child learns the words he reads daily in thf comic strips, in billboard and street car advertising and in movir subtitles. Professor Tewinkel holds. Therefore, learning can be made painless. So he composes tests for the student to write. His dictation deals with subjects that entertain the youthful, sometimes employ ing breezy newspaper English or incorporating jokes such as arp supposed to bring relaxation to the tired business man. Probably the most1 ancient of 'all gags." "Who "was that lady I seen you with last i night?" and its. vener able response.

Illumined by the light of modern statistical knowledge, Hip Van Winkle's record is not so as-, toundingly remarkable, after all. Taking things easily was the keynote of the lovable lazy Rip's existence, and all that we have heard about the amiable gentle man leads us to believe that un roused by a summons from home or by hunger, a nap of twenty years was altogether to his liking. But- now in our own era of struggle and achievement when every moment seems full to over flowing, when siestas are the last things in the world we think of and we have acquired the habit of burning the candle at both ends, comes a voice crying unto man: "Awake, you sluggard, you are dozing too long. Bestir yourself and go forth and find a substitute for sleep for, alas and alack, you are wasting your best years in slumber!" And the same voice declares that- the briskest, busiest, most wiaawake of men at the age of fifty-odd has already tarried sev enteen years in Dreamland. We are startled. We'd never thought it possible that, totaled, our night's repose would run up such a score. But, we are inter ested, for the information is au thentically medical. Enduring Style and Beauty Ycur rings will be the only lasting mementos of your marriage day. They must endure long after bridal -"- ' ' - - i Science has long been aware of this sad state of affairs and pa tiently, insistently, painstakingly it has been searching for some thing to take the place of sleep, in the name of progress has been hoping to discover that which would enable man from dawn till dawn to keep going on. Hut so far no good! All effort has failed to produce a substitute that will serve even indifferently well in place of the real thing. So far as science is concerned, up to date, sleep need fear no us urper, need expect no rival. In the future, it is likely to remain as it always has been, the great Medicine. To it men will turn for relief from every 111. The pallet is not going to be de prived of its restful services by the pellet. For Science, ' In its search, has un covered" the fact that certain little cells within the brain provide the motive power for the human en gine. And that when this motive power is exhausted the engine re fuses to run. Then, being mortal and not machines, we perish. And further It-is only when we are asleep that nature recharges these little cells, with the vital current. So far as science is concerned A CHILD DOESN'T LAUGH AND PLAV F Spilt Milk By Florence Smilh Vincent It is folly to cry over spilt milk. However, the milk once spilt, nc -v' 'i, iec :i)tu iv;.i expect the precious drops to re aauemale themselves that they might be poured back again into me tmpty botlie. Yet, in principle at least, this is exactly what some of us seem to believe can be done. We lose our temper and with harsh words wound a friend. In a strangely perverse moment we are cruel to the person of per sons in all the world we most Ge-ply care for. The -"mean" mood passes a flash in the pan, of course. We become our old agreeable, affec tionate self. Dismayed, we mark the damage we have done, make a humble attempt to repair it. "We are sorry; excuse us, i please " we plead. And we are bewildered when it grows evf-j aeii our apoiogy has only partly i served to right the wrong; we ac tually feci injured when 'tis forced upon us mat our love is no long er the .wluik and perfect thing that once it was, nor our friend ship. What can the matter be? Just this: We spilt the milk! Once we had measure full and overflowing. Now a portion of what we had is lost and gone forever. There is one thing and one thing only to do under the circum stances: Fill to the brim another pitcher and more carefully guard its contents. IN, 100.
