The question of short versus long periods of practice in training the hu- man muscles for. any particular kind of work is obviously one having far- reaching application. Some interesting experiments on this subject have been carried out by Dr. K. 8. Lashley of Johns Hopkins university. Acquisition of skill in alchery was selected as the subject of observation. Twenty un- trained persons were divided into three groups. One group shot five arrows tvith the English longbow per day; another twenty shots per day and the third forty shots. The result:showed conclusively that the group shooting only five times a day improved in ac- curacy with less expenditure of time in practice than was required by either of the other groups for the same amount of improvement. A report on the experiments says: “The relatively greater efficlency of short periods of practice continuing for many days is in accordance with the results of the study of animals and of speech habits in man and indicates that in training to muscular feats, in both animals and men, the length of practice periods re- quired is usually too great for max- imum efficiency.”—Philadelphia Rec- ord. The City of Pola. Since the Austrians made the city of Pola their chief base in 1848 they have accomplished wonders there. It i8 claimed that with the assistance of submarines and aircraft Pola is vir- tually impregnable. Its commodious harbor, almost land locked, has been enlarged so that it easily contains the entire Austrian fleet. It is divided into two basins by a chain of small islands. The entrance is strongly defended, and an extensive system of fortifications-on the hills inclosing the harbor insures complete protection. -There is a good roadstead in the large channel of Fasa- na, which separates the mainland from the Brionian islands. The marine ar- senal of Pola is a vast establishment with all the requisites for a large fleet. Artillery laboratories and powder mag- azines are situated on the north shore, and behind the arsenal is San Policar- po, with huge barracks and hospitals. —Argonaut. Byron’s Famous Swim. Byron was cruising up the Darda- nelles in a British warship, the Sal- sette, when he accomplished his fa- mous swim from Abydos to Sestos, the distance (a little over four miles) being covered in seventy minutes. “You will smile at this exploit,” the poet wrote to R. C. Dallas in a let- ter describing the swim, “but as it made an ancient immortal I see no rea- son why a modern may not be permit- ted to boast of it, particularly as I had no mistress to comfort me at landing.” According to Hobhouse, his traveling companion, Byron “had previously made a more perilous but less celebrat- ed passage, for I recollect that when ‘we were in Portugal he swam from 0l1d Lisbon to Belem castle and, hav- ing to contend with a tide and counter- current, the wind blowing freshly, was but little less than two hours in cross- ing the river.”—Pall Mall Gazette. He Wouldn’t Give Thanks. An eighteenth century clerical hu- morist, one Thom of Govan, the Glas- gow Herald states, had no great fond- ness for days of natlonal fasting or even of thanksgiving. At the close of the American war he commenced a sermon thus: “My friends, we are com- manded by royal authority to meet this day for the purpose of public thanks- giying. Now, I should like to know what it is we are to give thanks for. Is it for the loss of thirteen provinces? Is it for the slaughter of so many thousands of our countrymen? Is it for so many millions of increpsed na- tional debt? I see, my friends, you are all laughing at me, and 1 am not surprised at it, for were I not stand- ing where I am I would be laughing myself.” Politeness In China. In China parents are held responsi- ble for the manners of their children. Accordingly, for the credit of their par- ents, people try to be polite. If you are mobbed in a Chinese town you should look straight at one or two of the people and say: “Your parents did not pay much attention to your man- ners. They did not teach you the rules of propriety.” A remsrk like this will make the crowd slink away, one by one, ashamed of themselves. Novel Proposal. “Have you ever been engaged to be married before?” asked the young man. ‘Yes; six times,” replied the sweet young thing. ““Well, if your hand is not working Just now I'd like to ask for it.”—Yon- kers Statesman. Baby Army Officers. It,used to be the custom in England to buy commissions in the army for infants, and then they would be pro- moted as vacancies occurred. In this way a boy would have high rank when he was old enough to become a real soldier. Argument Spoiled. She — Too many men expect their wives to run their homes on practically nothing. They forget that no one can make bricks without straw. He—My wife does—out of flour.—Stray Stories. Sure Test. She—They held a mirror over her face to see if she was alive. I don't understand that.

AMONG BRITISH __ (Continuea rrom Fage 1) = busy and let’'s slaughter.” And so, Ben Tillett, who before the war hated capital like a “Bill” Hay- wood, fought”industrial oppressions like a Moyer and inflamed workmen against. both like a “Mother” Jones, has transferred his hate and fight- ing capabilities to the Germans and is telling British workmen from plat- forms and soap boxes to get into the game. 3 ‘While Lloyd George, the new min- ister of .munitions, is mobilizing in- dustry, Tillett is mobilizing labor and to use his own expression, he’s preaching \“organlzed bloody mur- der.” Listen to Tillett. Laborers who refused to listen to members of the British cabinet who have been speaking throughout Eng- 1and on the need of national defense are listening to Tillett. Tillett is one of them and they believe what he says. Tillett has just returned from Northern France where he saw the German menace, chatted with some of the men who have followed him in former strikes but who are now in khaki, lunched with General French and studied the situation with his own eyes. “I've learned that there is an- other meaning to the work ‘strike’ now,” Tillett is telling his audiences in England.. Tillett, however, is telling the gov- ernment something with no less ve- hemence. While he is organizing his strike against Germany the manufac- turers and capitalists of England must play the game.

Must Protect Workmen, “The workmen must be assured that while they are sweating and laboring and dying for their country they are not doing it to fill rich men’s pockets,” he says. “The gov- ernment must control the price of munitions supplies and food if the capitalists ‘will not. The capitalists must be content to take less money and do more and be controlled by the government and be content to be con- trolled.” Tillett brought from the front his simple picture of what the govern- ment and the workingman must do. ‘While there he talked to officers high in the ranks who told him that the British army was handicapped be- cause the workmen in England were hanging back and were not supplying a constant stream of shells. This made Ben Tillett mad. told the officers: “I'm going home to get those shells and other things and if the rich men play the game there’ll be no more labor troubles. I've promised to tell the people at home all the truth and I'm goihg to do it. ‘The men will work. They’ll listen to Ben Tillett. They know he’ll tell them the sober truth.” As soon' as Ben Tillett returned home he ‘started to tell the British workmen the truth about the situa- tion over in Northern France. Men who know British labor say that labor troubles in England are over. The government has started to tell the rich men what to do. Whether or not by Ben Tillett’s advice, it has put a tax on war profits. The money that went into the rich men’s coffers is beginning to come back to the government. The price of food is lower. Bread is costing less. British labor is solidly listening to what Ben Tillett has to say and then calmly trooping off to the recruiting stations or work shops. Tillett says he is telling them the truth and they be- lieve Tillett. He CELEBRATION FUND HAS $218 BALANCE (Continued from Paxe 1. finishing department of the A. A.
