Again.this submarine war fare, conducted without thought or care for humanityror interna tional law, victomized American citizens. We.have patiently borne these inhuman acts, only asking the imperial Government to disavow them and punish tie Commanding officers, and gasria tee the safety of Americga lives on the high seas. We have been promised this protection by.Ger many but the'.torpedoing of ves sels of commerce without warning goes on. We believe the time is fiot far distant when we'will have to fight to maintain, our rights and the protection of the Hve3 of Americans. The failure of Gov. Withycombe and Treas. Kay -to recognise State Engineer,,' Lewis as the legally authorized engineer of the State Highway Commission, ha3 caused considerable com ment and critacjism by the press, It seems they, ignoredthe opinion of Attorney General, Brown, in the matter, and'now the State Supreme Court, . in a formal de cision has confirmed, the opinion of attorney Brown,' and declared Lewis the legally authorized en gineer of the" Commission.

The Smithsonian Institution at Wash ington wae created by act of coiitfrwi tn 1840 to carry out tho condition! ot the will ot Jamaa Sinlthson, an English chemist and mmoralofruit, who be queathed hla fortune to the United Stated ot America to fouud at Wash ington under the name ot the Smith sonian institution an establishment for "the Increase and diffusion of knowl edge among men." The will became operative at ft death of Its maker, which occurred at Genoa In 1820, and the Income ot the state went to . Smlthsou's nephew, Henry Jamas nungerford. until the death of the latter on June 5, 183& The bequest of the property to the Unit ed States thereupon became operative, and In September, 1S35, the state de Dartment received notification thereof.

PERSIAN PAINTINGS. Oriental Art That Embed! the no of Romance. , El. . No dramatic, no passionate motive ever so grips and possesses a Persian artist as to absorb his whole lmaglna tlon. . Hla sensuous love of beauty can not resist filling in the accessories of tie scene with Just as mnch care and Intention In every detail as he demotes to the central figures. . In the great works of Chinese and Japanese painters, as In masters like Rembrandt, accessories, ar subdued or suppressed, the color la limited, and the figures Which create the motive of uio uesign are so empnasizea, so aonu cant In the eye that they seem to tran scend. tho limits of the framing space, thy seem alive 'with all the lament en' ergles of actual men and women. No Persian painting imposes Itself thus oh the 'imagination. Everything remains tvithln the frame, inlaid as In a lustrous mosaic. The Persian method has, It Is true, its ewn compensation. Just as In the early pictures A Ros- setti and Millals. everything Is realized with a dreamlike vision, and this Is al ways ' a real achievement for the painter. The freshness and glory thus brought' to be eye, as 'of a ; world washed clean, with every object magic- ally distinct and burning with clear color, ' make a vivid impression of strangeness ; Strangeness, Temoteness from the routine of every, day that la the essence' of romance, and no art In the- world is more steeped in'romanoe than the fainting of Persia.

In "Tod Sloane,'' b bimself. the once famous jockey says that a horse ex ceeds even a dog in Intelligence and that if . a thoroughbred : were email enough to roa about a house like a dog and have the same chances Instead of being so mnch alone surprising results would follow. "Cussedness" In horses, he thinks, may be caused by too much Inbreeding, bringing about an extraor dinary .temperament. ' The best jockey, says Sloane. is the boy writb a nervous temperament "He is quick and alert to take in a situation and becomes a human ferret, finding put things for himself."
