The concluding of the peace with Germany is going to mean among other things the bringing home of the great- or portion of the American forces now doing duty in Germany. It will be some moaths before those who are re- called reach home, but it is evident that we have reached the point where there can be a response to the demand has long been made that our army cf occupation in Germany be brought home. The American army on the Rhine has not been a source of annoyance to Ger- many but it has been expensive. If Germany were to be allowed to decide there are reasoms to believe that it would send home others instead of the Americans, and yet the American army is proportionately the most expensive to maintain. The expense of keeping such forces along the Rhine fulls upon Ger- many. Already it has cost Germany something like a third of a billion to maintain the Americans where the could see and that Germany does what it has agreed to. It{is not to be supposed that the withdrawal of the Americar forces will mean the desertion of the alied na- tions by the United States. It is not established that all the American troops will be recalled though the greater num- ber will be. There will be those that will remain and there Will continue to be the American flag that Will be flying along With those of the allied nations to show that the natlons stood shoulder to shoulder during the war and that they are still holding that position case it is necessary to remind Germany that there are obligations that must be met. It is three years, within a few days, sice the signing of the armistize. Tt is therefote fitting that the recalling ot the troops should begin uvon the anni- versary of that important event. Not, only the order bringing home the army but the actual return of the forces now on the Rhine will be the cause for sin- cere rejoicing in many a home. a RESTRICTION WORKING WELL. For a number Of months now the re- ctive immigration Jaw has been in effect. Attention to the change has been directed chiefly to the manner in which it was being enforced and the hardships that were imposed upon those coming to the shores because of the lack of understanding of the failure to e sufficient publicity to the manmer in which the bars had been put up. From the standpoint of the effect the regulation ng it is interesting ti) is the re- red effect, tha tthe unskilled labor 's almost shut off and that these coming now are ak most identical with the tide of immigra- tion for the two decades before 1900, and because of the quota arrangement coming . mostly from northern Europe. What this means is shown by the com- missioner’s report wherein he says, “Im- migrants from northern Europe are mainly professional persons, small bus- Iness men, farmers and clerks.” This would indicate a higher type of Immigrant but what seems to be quite as important is the fact that those who are coming are not settiing in the con- gested centers but are apparently look- ing for an oportunity to grow up and develop wilh the country elsewhere. This seems to- be indicated by his re- port to the effect that of the im- nfigrants now propose to remain perr nently in the city. A Iz portion are going west of the The number of farmers The fmmigration law is for a limited period intended to meet conditions fol- lowing the war, and considering the amount of unemployment here at present time it would appear that it was doing well, especially when the normal flow of immigration is about a half milllon a year of unskilled workers. le henies, is very large.

The question of dealing with post- master appointments was called to his attention soon after his inauguration and hot headed partisans urged an im- mediate overturn of such offices.- But the president smiled and said T in £00d time,.but when a man is Serving well and giving satisfaction to the pat- rons of the office I prefer he should be permifted to serve out his term.” So as offices become vacant they are filled with republicans Who pass the civil ser- ce test, but many democrats are serv- ing out their terms ummolssted, where the community is satisied with the ser- vice they give. The old ' days have passed when a member of congress could stroll into the White Housp and remark he wantad Mr. So and So appointed postmaster at such and such a place, and it was done with- out further question. But the mecthod of paying off campalgn debts in that way was o abused that by general ap- proval it ceased and now a civil service examination is held for post offices of every grade.

Connecticut hins dene her full chare of urging quick replacement by repub- licans, but the Conmecticut members hold fast to the rules of the executive order, and for the most part are keeping their hands off—leaving it for commu- and aspirants to decide who has e of the track. Commenting ntly on the situation Congressman Glynn, in which district important va- cancies must soon be filled, said: “I art the city to have the man it wants and the one who can best fill the pos tion. The department has sald to me| the bust business man makes the best postmaster and I fully endorse that sen- timent. But in no case sHall I take af hand till the list of three eligibles is shown me and I know the strength of their endorsement.” Other Connocticut members feel the same. And although Connecticut republicans will eventually be called on to<fill postmasterships, it is a safe guess that it will be dome cuietly and as far as possible, to carry cut the preference of communities. Repuhlicans made a strong move to- wards onal harmony when they se- lected Senator Curtis of Kansas to sue- ceed to many of the imnortant positions made vacant by the death of Senator Knox. Senator Brandegee was largely responSible for this adroit i only is Mr. Curtis capable qualified for such responsibil a ies, but he is the only man who seems to com- bine qualities that make him acceptable to the varions factions that now threat- en to split repub’ican ramks. Mr. Cur- tls is a staunch partisan, but not pep- pery 1 his assertions; while holding fast to hjs convictions he does not rub his colleagues the wrong way; they trust his honesty and fairness, and al- thougl the wlaces to which he has sue- ceeded were openly coveted by many other semators, his selection was agreed to without creating friction. Mr. he tal Curtls s not an orator, nor does much part in the running de- but he does notable work for bill which he personally favors or ich has been decided on as a vart of armament conference will be act- g lealer In the enforced absence of Senater Lodge, as an American dele- is whin of the senate, he is on the a1l important committea on rules, which gevern senate procedure, and on r major committees. The responsi- os piled high on the shoulders of Curtis would break the back of many a stout man, but Fe-takes them all with smile, and just goes to it, and does the work. If Mr. Curtis has a slogan, it surely must be “Why Worry?” He takes care of his constituency, makes the daily round of his varied éu- ties, whips his colleagues into line, has plenty of time to tell the newspaper men all he thinks they ousht to know. with never a show of !mpatience or an- novance. If any one can unité the un- ruly bloes and bring harmony out of disagreement, Curtis is the man who can do it. Senator McLean has been a strong factor in the_presentation of the tax bill to the senafe, being a working mem- ber of the finance committee. On several occasions it has devolved on the Connecticut senator to stralght- en out parliameutary tangles or explain the meaning of certain disputed clauses of the bill. But there was one occa- sion when he took mno part in the de- bate, but quietly chuckled as the tables were turned on some of his colleacues. This was when Senators Hitcheock, democrat, and Senator Watson of In- diana, an ardent and aggressive repub- lican, had a sharp tfit over the way a certain clause of the bill might work out. That afternoon the language In which the terms of the clause were expressed, was under sharp fire, opposing republi- cans joining with the democrats in stat- ing that the terms were so ambiguous that the average man would not under- stand them. Democrats shonted the terms were incomprehensible to the ave- rage man; Senator Moses of New Hampshire deplored experts who had framed the democratic bill of the last administration were the ones employed to help frame the present bill; demo- crats retorted that democrats could have done a much better job than had the republican finance committee in this in- stance, and in the confusion Hitcheock, McCumber, Watson of Indiana and Moses wems all on their feet at the same “It’s time to make up our minds about what we are going to do this summer,” n the young woman with the solid- marcglled hair as ghe reached for an- e s ‘hnut and looked at her wrist wateh. ' “All the, cottages will be gone if we don't hurry up.” “Wiho is leaving us a fortune?” in- quired the head of the house, trying to scan the front page of his newspaper with one eye and locate his breakfast cup of coffee with the other. ‘“Since when have we been,renting a summer “cot- tage ‘Well, it's time we did!" declared his marcelled daughter indignantly. © “I am dead tired of having the other people at the office ask where I shall spend my va- cation and have to say we are going out to that old farm and eat canned peas and leather chicken!

Senator Brandegee has hnd his hands more than full #ff past week. He is chairman of the powerful committee on committees and on him largely devolved the rearrangement of committee assizn- ments made necessary by the death of Senator Knox. Senator Brandegee is being warmly congratulated on the tact- ful mamner in which he hrought about the selection of the right men for the right places. Mr. Brandegee has taken an actlve part in the debate on the tax [ bill, the library committee of which he s chairman has been called on to de- elde a number of important matters, the judiciary committee and foreizn rela- tions committee have likewise been in- volved in work requiring time and hard work. Mr. Brandegee is a&n acknowl edged authority on the rules of the senate and often speaks the deciding word that settles 'a disputed question of parliamentary procedure. The threatened rail strike, the com- ing conference on disarmament, the auestion of adjournment as resting on the fate of cert: pending bills, have been the chief topics of discussion here outside the sessions of congress. Ani those session, by the way, _are now based on something quite bevond the customary “eight hour law.” The senate meets at 11 in the morning and keeps in constant session till late at night, so senators are working an average of 14 hours a day, Hoping to get the slate cleared in time for a ThanksgiVing ad- journment and give a breathing spell to congress, and the thousands of emploves employed there before the long winter sessions convenes on December 5. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Instinet and Reason. Mr. Editor: I wonder how many of your subscribers read the calumn by “The Man Who Talks?” .Some writers complain that they are held up for want of subjects, out any reader of the above columns will find enough subjects statted to keep all the literary men in town agoing. Interesting topics too. Hig recent letter—devoted in nart to the discussion of the comparison hetween Instinet and Reason is peculiary sus- gestive. He seemed, however, to jump at a conclusion when he says that, “in- stinct plays both man .and beast some dirty mean tricks” The statement seems rude, but he illustrates by two examples—one of the hungry fish—an- other of a naughty boy. “Instinct,” he says, “does not warn the fish to heware when it seeg the wriggling worm.” Cer- tainly not. Instinct says there is food of the kind vou desire, and so the fiish swallows the bait, hool inker, however). is that played higher (?) animal—endowed iith rea- son. The other'example of the boy who is “tempted to do something that will break his mother's heart,” does not heed instinct nor coiscience, nor thefr warn- ing that “this is the way to hell.” The boy reasons, thus. “Mother is an old fozy, and dad is a back number;” and the education of today pointg him in the opposits way to that followed by his par- ents. Neither correet reason mor Instinct ob- tains in such a case. Nothing but blind concelt; and so the boy brings disgrace on himself and his mother by disregard- ing her precepts and examnpl T was once told by a clergyman who wag do- ing effecttve work, that his voung son who was being schooled at the academy said to him, ou know, father, that you have not had these advantages.” It may have been that the father had not been blessed with the opportunities for a high classieal training, but he had —sense than a score of such the way this phrase, hotse-sense, carries us back to our starting point, In- stinct and Reafon. The man who studi a horse, owning one, knows what horse- sense means, and hew in common par- lance it has become allied to human- sense—and why Webster hig diction- ary defies it as “strong common sense, of a very practical kind.” Paleg, a good authority, defines in- stinet as “a propensity prior to experi- ence.” This ig the test and most comprehensive interpretation. As the an- imal comes into life without experience, it, of necessity, must have instinct as a kind of capital to start with, and if T should presume to define reason I wonld say It was the faculty by which in- stinct is to be amplified. Of all animals, it is said that the human one comes into the world the most helpless. In fact if the child cries at birth it is not re- zarded as a bad omen—and what 15 that cry but an appeal for help? It may be information to some that the first act of the old Irish midwife is to wrap the new born infant in a man’s shirt. Not a freshly laundried one, but one from the back of the man of the house. In this the midwifée may be following an old traditional instinet, but, if you please, for all that, her act is founded on substantial hygienic reasons—it may be unconsciously to her. A good resem- blance to instinct and reason may be found in music, which is a natural gift that can be cultivated to a hich de- gree. Al men, however, are not born with musical instinet and it has been ob- served that a man or woman Wwithout musie, is deficient int adaptation to other srts and scienpes. i Shakespeare says, “the man who has not music in his soul, ig fit for treasons, stratagems and plots—let no such one be trusted.” 'This is.not all poetry; hence, when we make choice of a leader or an apprentice it is well to know before hand whether he can whistle or sing, befgre we tie up to him.

R T———— ODD iINCIDENTS IN AMERICAN FAISTORY REMARIKKABLE ECLIPSE OF 1806 The most remarkable eclipse of the sun witnessed in the United States in the centuries since its discovery took place on June 16, 1806. There are eclipses previous and since then, bu# that of 1806 is regarded by astronomers as the most memeroable of all that of August 7, 1869 being the next in gran- deur and interest. The eclipse of 1806 was to be seen over all parts of North America. For- tunately the day wus a remarkably clear one, scarcely a cloud Being visi ble in any part of the sky. The sun's entire surface was covered at twenty- seven minutes and tkirty seconds past 11 o'clock. James Fennimore Cooper, the novel- ist, though but a youth at the time of the eclipse, was so enthusiastic an observer of the spectacle that twenty- minute account of what he saw and how he felt during the wonderful oc- currence. Mr. Cooper states that he and other spectators in his coffpany first discerned through their glasses thc ov- al form of the fmoon darkening the sun's light an exclamation of delight, almost triumphant, burst involuntarily from the lips of all. The veople began gathering into the street, their usual labors were abandoned and all faces were turned upward. The noonday heat began to lessen and there was something of the cool- ness of early morning. M:. Cooper fur- ther states that “all living creaturcs seemed thrown into a state of agita- tion. The birds were flutteriry; to and fro in great excitement; they seemed to mistrust that this was not thé grad- ual approach of evening, and wer¢ un- decided in their movemen:s. Even the dogs became uneasy and drew nearer to their masters, 7 “Every house now gave up its ten- an s the light failed more and more with every passing second, the chil- dren came flocking about their moth- ers in terror. The sun appearel like oung 1a0on of three or four days old. One after the other the stars come into view, which filled the spirit with singular sensations.” Never were more extensive prepa- rations made by Governments and men of science to have thorough observa- tions of a solar eclipse than at this time, and never was the weather more propitious for such an event to be not- ed in all its phenomena. As is usual on the occurrence of such a wonderful sight, some strange incident transpired. In his account of the observation made by Prof. Watson at Mount Pleasani, Iowa, Prof. Tyler narrates the case of a good man who went around the town for days before hand and denounced the impiety of the pruceedings-going on—that the astron- omers were profanely attempting to pry into God’'s secrets, and that he had veiled His sun in order to baffle them. The cloudy weather, which continued some support to his declarations, but up to the last day, seemed to give nothwithstanding his prophesy that God would keep His rain agoing and prevent the use of the irreligious tele« scopes, the day cleared off with the utmost splendor. Another local prophet announced that the eclipse was a judgment upon the world for its abominations, and that the path of its shadow over the earth would be marked by utter blight But these deluded prophets of evil were, indeed, rare exceptions; millions of mankind watched with reverential and delighted satisfaction the obedi- ] jence of the two great luminaries to the external laws which govern thelr existance, and Srience, the handmaid . . elpful Hair Hints A lady visiting friends says “Paris- lan sage is the best thing I ever used to make my hair wavy, lustrous and abundant.

Lee & Osgood Co. 4 Says: “It would be hard “For persons who are weak, anaemie, nervous and run-down, it would be hard to write a better prescription than ‘Winearnis,” said Dr. George M. Lipin- ski recently. Dr. Lipinski is an ex- member of the Philadelphia Depart- ment of Health and is wel! known in Philadelphia where he has practiced his profession for many years. “It is an established medical fact,” said the doctor in discussing the sub- Ject, “that iny almost every case of ‘weakn anaemia, nervousness and run-déwn vitality, there is a shortage in the body of several mineral ele- ments which are absolutely necessary in the creation of vital power, to make the blood rich and red—to maintain strong, steady nerves—and to promote a continuous supply of bodily strength and endurance. “The mineral elements required by the body to create vital power are, par- ticularly, iron, calcium, potassium, sodium and phosphorus. When there is a shortage of these elements the body is deprived of the means of re- newing the vital energy which is ex- panded daily, with the result that the strength of the body diminishes—the blood becomes impoverished, the nérves become shaky and the vitality becomes run-down.” ‘It cannot be too strongly emphasized that it is absolutely impossible for weak, anaemic, nervous and run-down persons to regain health, vigor and en- to write a better prescription.” durance unless they supply to the body St S e s that are necessary energy, to make the blood rich and red, to .strengthen the nerves and to mote renewed vigor, vitality and durance.” 4 neceéssary mineral elethents markably suitable proportions an agreeable form, and that is w maintain that it would be hard Write a better prescription than Win carnis for persons who are weak anaemic,~nervous, and run-down.” Dr., Lipinski is not the only physic- ian who has acknowledged that it would be hard to write a better pre- scription thad Wincarnis. And One other important point that many physicians recognize is that no drug- gist could readily put up such a pre- scription as Wincarnis. The reason is that he would not have on hand and it would be extremely difficult for him to procure all of the ingredients used in making up Wincarnis, ‘Wincarnis is put up in two sizes— $1.10 and $1.95.

Scientifically it has a decper mean- ing than this. The meaning is the same for the indented chiu as for the dimpled one and it is somewhat dif- ferent in the cases of men and Wo- men. Men with dimpled or indented chins are likely to make good husbands if your conception of the ideal husband is one who loves to love and be loved and one in whom parental love is a strong emotion. - If, on the other hand, you think the ideal husband is a rich old gentieman who will give you all the money you want and let you alone, don’t marry a man with a dimpled or indented chin. He may or may not have the money to give you, but he's almost sure to want the love and the children. The dimpled chin is found more fre- quently in women than in men and with them it has not the same value as a character indication. In women it merely indicates a tendency to be co- quettish. Some men like their wives to coquette with them a bit; even after the honeymoon, is over, and there are some it is said, who positively do not like it, Anyhow, the dimpled chin or lack of it gives you vour clue, and you can do your own choosing. Tomorrow—The Underscored Signature IN THE DAY’S NEWS Rhodesia, “He who complains of the complexi- ties of civilization, or of the rapid changes in styles, or of the multiplica- tion of laws and ordinances, and believes that the simple life is practiced among primitive tribes, will have a rude awak- ening if he examine the customs of the aboriginal Rhodesians,” says a bulletin from the National Geographic society re- lating to the South African people who are reported moving_back to their re- serves to preserve their native institu- tions. % “Southern Rhodesia has some 40,000 Europeans among its three-quarters of a million people, and these whites may be considered bona fide colonists in a land settling down after a somewhat disappointing 1d boom to regular op- erations of agriculture and mining. “But Northern Rhodesia still is the happy hunting ground for the human geographer, where he may study _the effect™ of a plateau region upon remote tribes that have been little affected by the encroachments of the white man. Here nearly a miilion natives inhabit an area greater than Texas where fewer than 3,000 Europeans have established themselves. “The illusion that all savage peoples do pretty much they please is dis- pelled upon a cursory examination of a legal system that has penalties of mutis lation for minor offenses, whose judges must fold their hands in a certair way when they try cases, and where every notive male inevitably becomes something of a lawyer since the daily public trials furnish the principal village divertise- ments. “The quips at woman's extravagance in dress, and the variability of modes, which often provide the inevitable topical | songs at American musical shows find 1their ptototypes in the minstrelsey of a Wemba swain whose metrical plaint is ‘O woman, you are like a greedy wagtail, pecking up all yon can get.'

Deformation of their teeth forms another adornment, but the practice which their husbands complain about is their penchant for ac- quiring rings and bracelets. The latter range from bands of copper to spirals of metal that reach from wrist to elbow, and similar devices used as anklets. o “With the ever increasing overflow ok civilized population Northern Rhodesia soon may be preempted by colonists. In- deed the movement of natives back to re- serves may indicate that such an. inflow already is taking place. Though it lies across the euator the Rhodesian plateau is adapted to the white man by reason of a climate that has no extremes. More- over its boom cities of Buluwayo and Salisbury possess hotels, clubs, business houses and apartments, built in the flush of hope that it would be a second Rand, then deserted by the fortune hunters, and now waiting for the coming of a more sober and sustained development. “Much of northern Rhodefia is suft- able for farming; there are vast tracts of grazing land. Maize and tobacco are at present principal crops. Wheat, oot~ ton and citrug fruits may be grown suc- cessfully. The timber awaits transpor- tation facilities. Gold, copper, zine and lead n\lh'let already are worked.” — | Stories That Recall Others \ He Wasn't Hungry.

He was a man of large physique and an appetite reported to be in accord with his size. Walter, lingering by“as the minister was get- ting his hat and coat, heard him re- mark to the head of the family that he wasn’t hungry.
