He came to Seattle in 1876 and for many years conducted a book store on First ave. During the Harr’ son and Cleveland administrations he was postmaster in Seattle. He was closely associated, for ye with many of the men who made Seattle's history, and an hour's talk with him v always very interesting to one who Wanted to take a trip back over the years that have gone That New York Jury decides that Banker Beverly Harris, “by reason- able diligence,” could have learned that Mra.

Pretty Fair Plowing PEAKING of the MacDonald government, Ex-Premier Lloyd George says: I am all for leaving them for some time between the plow handles. They will soon have aching backs and weary hearts but very much wiser heads, and in the future they will realize that you cannot plow from the clouds.” They have, indeed, done pretty well at the plow, so far, Mr. George. For instance, they’ve settled a tremendous strike in about one-tenth of the time that you ever did. Tt must be great to be wealthy enough to keep on talking after being sued for $600,000 libel. Tough on Ohio pS a asta WILLIS of Ohio suggested to Daugherty names of senators fit to investigate him. Also, Senator Willis of Ohio suggested to the presiding officer of the senate names of senators to investigate Daugherty. Busy little Willis of Ohio, but—— Sit down, Willis of Ohio! You may be of Ohio but you’re not of Ohio bigness and those sharp Montana senators are making you perform as just one big, elegant If, which is not good for Ohio’s repute for ordinary in- telligence. Bonfils, Shaffer, MeLean—there’s a darned fine hand for the news- paper fraternity to draw to. Glimpsing the Future R. MARCONI, discoverer of wireless telegraphy and scientist pre-eminent, has paused a moment and ent the not-distant future. What he sa;y gaye,him a chill. “T see danger to the world in this great progress,” he confides. “The conditions of life will be made so easy that, if people are not careful, they will deteriorate.” Shades of all the Good and Great that are gone! Is there even a bare likelihood that those people down in Washington will ever be worse than they now are? Look again, Marconi, and say not so—say not so. They have been hunting for the original Coolidge man and, having so gag to locate him, they have decided he is cutting more ice some where.

No Fochs, Pershings and such in it. No generals; just plain pro- fessors. No dead or wounded; just more life for the | living. American laboratory professors have developed a crackerjack catalyst. Never met a catalyst? Well, it is a material that makes different atoms combine when they don’t want to. For instance, you want cheaper ammonia, which means cheaper fertilizer and cheaper food. Very good, you have but to make the atoms of hydrogen and nitrogen marry and settle down. But, you cannot do it with all the pressure you can command. As soon as your pressure is removed, both parties apply for divorce, and there is no breeding of ammonia. Ger- many’s chemists got up a catalyst that produced 7 per cent of ammonia and that made every American labora- tory man sore. Now, American chemists, particularly those of Harvard's laboratory, have worked out a cata- lyst that is about 100 per cent stronger than Germany’s, It is a bigger victory than any of those of the world war, but no decorations will be passed around.
