T I NAVAL ARMS QUESTIONS Washington, Nov: ‘21.-—(By Her- bert Walker)—Man to man, diplo- macy with the public and press ab- sent was tried today in renewing ef- forts to adjust naval armament ques- tions. Admiral Beatty, Kato, Coontz, rep- resenting respectively Great Britain, Japan and the United States, were preparing for a conference.in which it was haped Japan could be induced to drop her demand for a navy 70 per cent of that of Great Britain and the United States. Great Britain and America are together on the guestion of ratios allotted. : THRESHING. MADE A PASTIME Italian -Families Beat Wheat ' From Straw in Rhythm, and Seem to Enjoy the; Work. Gasparino Dante got up early Sun- day morning, and before the sun was very high his day's work. was well started on his farm near €apula, Italy. The two daughters—one eighteen and the other fifteen—started (and fin- ished) the day with the men. The younger children were too small to be of any help, although the boy of ten | scattered wheat over the stone thresh- !ing floor so that it would be ready when the older members of the family had finished with breakfast—bread and cheese and coffee, for Dante ,can afford coffee in the morning. He owns thinty acres. When thyeshing started, the father paired with the oldest girl on the side of the floor; the other couple stood side by side opposite. The four flails were: poised high in the an instant and then at a shout from the furmer one pair descended and as they were lifted the couple opposite struck. | The four beat the grain, keeping ; perfect time and pausing only while the boy raked the straw into a pile at one side of the floor and swept the | kernels of wheat into another heap, and threw down a fresh supply. Then, with a shouted signal that scemed to welcome the new onslaught the rhythm of the thumping started in. The manner of the threshers was more like that of, couples dancing an old-faghlened quadrille than that of harvest toilers under the blister- ing, blinding midsummer sun of south- ern Italy. Japanese “Animal Holidays.” As we left DMatsue, Japan, by steamer, an agriculturist on board the vessel told me of the custom of giving holldays to oxen and horses. The lagers carefully brush their anim: decorate them, and lead, them to pa ture where, tethered to rings attached to a long rope, “they may graze to- gether pleasantly.”—J. W. Robertson Scott In the London Dally Telegraph. Punch Came From East Indies. Punch, it is said, came from the Rast Indles, and: the name is claimed to be derived from the Sanskrit word meaning “five,” on account of its flve Ingredignts—1um, tea, sugar, lemons and hot water. The. Last Piece of Cake. It is considered bad luck to take the last. piecn. of cake,or other food on the plate. This superstition may be traced as far back as, the Bible, where the. injunction to “leave some for, manpers” is found in Heclesiasti- cus, 81:17. ATTEMPTING TO ADJUST | wonLo's Beat 7o coLUMBUS Expahsion of ‘Europe and Remaking of " the Earth Followed Explorer’s Wonderful Voyage. Few peaple realize how thinly great regions were peopled four centuries ago, or how many Europeans are living outside of Europe today. The United States, Canada and Argentina, contain twice as much land as the home con- tinent. When white.settlement begag, the land now comprised in the United States ,may lave contained 400,000 Indians—that Is the- highest estimate. Possibly the other two couptries con- tained as many, an average of popula; tion. of one person to nine square miles. Australia, with 3,000,000 square miles, held not wore than 100,000 per- 50DS. Today, those four countries support a white population of about 125,000, 000. The hot regions between the Rio Grande and La Plata hold several mil- lions more. Europe has spread over | half the globe, while Asia has shrunk well within her own borders—and all this change dates from and depends upon that voyage of Columbus. White men crossed the Atlantic be- ! fore Columbus, but they left no trace | | brated of their voyage on this side, It Is pussing strange that not even Euro- pean domestic animals were left here —the Norsemen had cattle, whose bel- lowing frightened, the natives. Nof till Columbus pointed the way did the expansion of Kurope begin, or the wor..l became truly one world instead of many. Great Desire for Understanding. I believe that the greatest desire of every. human heart in. the world Is just this: The desire to understand its own experience. That is a hunger ' that is at the'root of all the great religions in the ivorld—of all great emotional activity whatever—the con- tinual hunger of the human heart to get even with its own experience, to put it straight. and ordered, so that it can understand instead of beiyg be- wildered.—John.: Drinkwater. Holds up Train. A train on a €anadian railroad was held up for neanly half an hour owing to a cockroach having climbed inte a telomraph. instrument at a signal box. Happiness Not Far to Seek.
