AMERICANS ENJOY LENGTHY ORATIONS British Public , Has Impression That Congress Is Full of Speakers London, April 24—Recent dla- patches from the United States de- scribing the closing days of congress have given the British publi¢c the im- pression that much of the time of that legislative body fs taken up with #peeches unrelated to governmental affairs or to public events, Comparisons are made botween the rigld rules of the Britlsh parllament, which limit the length and character of the debate, and those of the Ameri- can congress, which are so flexible that the members sometimes talk in. terminably, British readers are told that Americans have a passion for oratory. Criticism of Newspapers. “The American congress,” says the ‘Washington correspondent of rhe Morning Post, “is supposed to exist for the making of laws, but I am inclin- ed to belleve its real reason for being is to cnable the men who constitute the membership to talk about any subject under the sun except the pending bill, and to ride their hob- bies, There being no limit to debate in the senate, and the rules of the house being elastic, men talk inces- santly, knowing they will not be call- ' ed to order for their remarks not he- ing germane to the matter under dis- cussion, Senator's Inconsistency. “A few days ago the agricultural appropriation bill being before the House of Representatives,” this corre- spondent continues, “Mr. Hawes of Missouri spoke for half an hour or so on the dog. Mr. Hawes breeds dogs snd loves them, and this was an op- portunity no member of congress could neglect. His speech was re- corded v?bntlm in the official ‘Con- gressional'Record’ copies of which are furnished jthe member free of charge and may tbe sent through the mails to his constituents free of postage. Gives Speech Publicity “If he wants to give his speech wider circtilation he can have it print- ed in pamphlet form at the govern- ment printing office at the actual cost of the printing and paper, and this pamphlet also the government will obligingly circulate through the mails without the payment of postage. The member's constituents receive these speeches and are duly impressed. They are proof that their representative is an important man and is not idle. ‘The average constituent is an in- genuous person, He believes that speeches pass bills.” METHODISTS IN LUZON Build Fifty-four New Churches on That Island in Past Four Years— _Great Progress Recorded, Manila, P.

CAN CURE LEPROSY Injection of Oils Will Stop Discase is The Claim of Sir Leonard Rogers in Paper Read Recently. London, April 24, — That leprosy can be effectually cured by the injec- tion of certain oils, including cod liver and soya bean oil, was claimed by Sir Leonard Rogers in a paper read before a recent meeting of the Royal Society of Arts, . Sir Leonard declared that experi- ments made in varlous parts of the lworld had led physicians to the belief hat the disease could be cured with- n the space of a few years through he use of these oils. There would appear to be numer- pus cascs of leprosy in London, par- icularly among army men who have returned from eastern countries, hich are unrecognized.

STUDENTS PLANNING JOURNEYS ABROAD More College Undergraduates Than Ever Will Visit Europe New York, April 25 (By Associated Press).—More college undergraduates than ever before are planning this summer to earn themselves a vaca- tion ih Europe. Up to the present time trans-Atlan- tic steamship lines, both passenger and freight, have received over 1,000 applications from college men for op- portunities to work their way across the ocean for study and pleasure. Each season students have crossed on freighters as hostlers and cattle tenders, but this year's unusual de- mand for menial tasks is attributed to a desire to see Europe stimulated by the stories told by returning trav- elers, Applications’ Received, ! Althought most of the applications have come from individual students, seeking jobs as stewards, deck hands, painters, and kitchen police, a ton- certed movement has been started at Dartmouth throught the college Trav- el Club, It is expected that approxi- mately 100 undergraduates with gcant funds, will leave Hanover, N. H,, for a summer in Europe earned by the sweat of their brows. Thirty-four Dartmouth men crossed the ocean| last year. In addition to the “work- | your-way" expedition of the Travel club, the Dartmouth Outing club and several instructors are conducting European tours, and many students of sufficient means will make the trip alone, It is estimated that 500 Dartmouth men, or one-quarter of the college enrollment will spend the coming summer in Europe. 400 On File Already. The French steamships' lines with terminals in New York have approxi- mately 400 applications on file from colleges in various parts of the coun- try, and expect many more later. Eng- lish lines have among their ship per- sonnel only British subjects and, therefore, are unable to accommodate American college students who want to work their way to Europe. Steamship agencies here point out that the professional sailor is given | the preference when it comes to en- | gaging as one of the crew, and only a serious shortage in seamen would per- mit of an opportunity of working as an able bodied seamen. Even a job as waiter falls within the select class, as the transatlantic liners employ only; experienced men, In the case of cattle attendants, the shippers, rather than the transport- ing companies, select the men who are chosen as valets to the animals shipped overseas. Other Proposals. Such proposals as oge line received from a. western coll?e glee club, suggesting concerts, &nd others from various students offering to give amateur vaudeville performances in exchange for passage abroad, were rejected by one large steamship com- pany on the ground that their lines “were run for payment, rather than entertainment.” Best Breakfast Cocoa, 3 Ibs. for 25¢ tomorrow only.
