THE NEW CURRENCY BILE.
President Wilson has succeeded
in having a Currency reform meas
ure introduced in Gongress which
fully embodies his views. This
bill is such a masterpiece of state
manship, and is so free from parti
zenship that all parties should give
it cordial support. The bill prov
ides for twelve "regional" Govern
ment Banks, each of which is to be
a parent bank over those national
banks which come under it; for in
s'.ance, one of the regional banks
will be placed over the banks of,
say for instance; Ohio, Indiana, and
Kentucky, Constituting a region.
When these banks have more calls
for loans than they can meet, under
this new Bill, when it becomes a
law they can turn their assets or;
securities over to the Regional
Government Bank and secure what
ever money is needed to supply the
wants of the business men in their
communities. The same condition
will prevail in all sections of the
country. It will be seen at once
that this bill will provide for an
automatic expansion of currency,
and there need never be any more
t ghtness of the money market.
President Wilson is receiving
hearty congratulations from all
sections of the country for his firm
stand in insisting on Currency re
form at this session. The fact of
it is the Currency Bill is of more
vital importance to the country
than the tariff Bill, though both are
of great importance, and when con
gress passes both of them the coun
try will be sure to have a long era
of National Prosperity which will
be properly distributed to all class
es and sections.
Heretofore the finances of this
country have been dominated by
the wall street clique, but under
this Bill the controll of the finances
of the oountry will be centered in
the Government and not in Wall
Street as heretofore. Mr. Bryan
took a hand in framing of feature
of this bill which, placed the control
of the Currency absolutely in the
hands of the President and the

Treasury Department. Nobody
knows better than Bryan how Wall
Street is constantly scheming to
take every possible advantage of
financial necessities of the country,
and it never yet failed to take ad
vantage of those necessities for its
own enrichment whenever possible.
Hereafter Wall Street will no long
er have the opportunity.
It will be recalled that every fall
when there is a heavy crop to be
moved the demand for money with
which to move it is so great that it
almost paralyses other lines of in
dustry. Under the operation of
this Bill the additional money for
moving the crops will not be felt to
a sufficent extent to affect the
money market seriously. The
Public is urging Congress to pass
the tariff Bill and the Currency Bill
as quickly as possible and then go
home so that the country can have
an era of peace and prosperity.
ALL PARTIALLY COLOR-BLINC
Extent of Thie Infirmity Is Not Gen
erally Known Except to the
Scientific World.
The various testB for efrlor-blindness
have come into practical use in the
examination of railroad engineers and
the like, where the ability to distin
guish colors is necessary, so that
these tests are no longer peculiar to
the laboratory. But it is not general
ly known outside the laboratory that
everybody is partially color-blind—
that is, in certain parts of the field of
vision. The most normal Individual
can see all the colors only when he
looks directly at them. If looked at
from an angle of about 15 degrees, red
and green can no longer be seen, but
in their places will appear shades of
yellow’ or blue. This region of the
eye Is known as the yellow-blue zone.
If the color be removed still farther te
the side, the yellow’ and blue will dis
appear and only gray can be seen.
This region is known as the zone of
complete color-blindness. An inter
esting theory In regard to these zones
Is that every normal eye represents
three stages of evolution. The zone
of complete color-blindness is the low
est stage, and appears in such ani
mals as the frog, whose vision is
known as shadow vision. The blue
yellow zone Is one step higher in the
scale, although not clearly marked off
In the animal kingdom. And the ap
pearance of the red green zone marks
the highest stage of evolution. Cases
of color-blindness are, according to
this theory, a lack of development be
yond the early stage In the individual
life.—Professor Poffenberger In the
Strand.

TECUMSEH BY PROXY
By WM. LIGHTFOOT VISSCKfiR.
Tom Lansing and Lucile Be 1 wer<
strolling around the equestrian statue
of grand old ''Tecumseh” Sherinan, ir
the moonlight of May. Near then
towered the granite facade of the
treasury, yonder twinkled th« lights
of the White House.
“Sit there,” he said. For w Ith his
handkerchief he had switched away
the dust from a block of stone where
stood, in real bronze, one of ihe sol
dters that, at quadrangle corners
guard the “Leader to the Sea.”
As he seated himself beside hei
he said:
"When Sherman was leading his le
gion through Georgia a haiudsome
young captain of a cavalry regiment
had a remarkable episode. A cavalry
brigade had captured the town of Ros
well, on the Chattal.oochee, at the ex
treme left of the army, and Roswell
was simply a town of cotton and wool
en factories. The exigencies of war
demanded the burning of the fuctoHes
and they were committed to the
flames, but w'hat disposition to make
of the thousand or more pretty girls
of the confederate looms became a
serious question. Gallant old Tecum
seh was equal to the occasion, how
ever. He ordered a regiment of bold
sabreurs to the front and directed
that each trooper and officer should
take a pretty maid upon an Impro
vised pillion, behind him on bin Bleed.
“The girl that rode with her arms
about the. waist of the handsome
young captain was the prettient one
of the thousand, and they were near
ly all remarkably pretty southern girls
who were patriotically working to
clothe the soldiers of the south
Moreover, she was of a good family

of Georgia and had held some sort
of official position In one of the fac
tories of Hoswell.
"Of course. Don’t yon know I vim
born in Marietta?" questioned Luch
Bell.
“Yes, I know," returned Tom Lan
sing. “But this was many years be
fore you were born."
“A young woman who stood at the
gate to the beautiful grounds 1 told
you of, watching with amused face the
passing regiment of double riders,
when she saw the young captain ani
his charge, rushed screaming between
fright and joy, toward them, arid then
something happened. The captain’s
horse plunged and reared, and the
young officer adroitly lifted tl e maid
en to the ground and to the arms of
her cousin, the young woman who had
come from the gate. But other of the
horses taking, contagiously, the fright,
plunged against him, and ric'ler and
horse fell among rough-shod hoofs.
"Quickly the spot was cleared, but
the young captain was taken up, un
conscious, and by direction of the two
girls was borne to the grand house
among the trees and roses.
The young captain happened to bo
known and loved by General Sherman,
who sent his own staff surgeoia to at
tend the injured officer.
"There were days of anxiety for
those about the young captain. He
wae long unconscious and then fol
lowed a fever. The left arm, with
which he had so gallantly saved the
girl from among the trampling horses,
was broken and cut, but youth and a
good constitution triumphed at last,
and shortly after Sherman had start
ed on his march to the sea, Capt. Tom
bansing and Lucie Gill, his bride,
the girl he had brought from Ros
well behind him, and who had nursed
him through his fight with death,
had arrived at Lansing’s home, in au
'umn, on the shady banks of the
river Des Plaines.”
Tom Lansing! Lucte almost
3creaniod. “Why that’s your name!
And Lucie Gill—that’s my name—
Lucie Gill Bell. My father had a
■ousin named Lucie Gill wh-rni he
loved so much that he named me for
ler, but he died when I was a baby
aid of course never told me of her
history."
“She was my mother. I am (be
only son and youngest of fiae chil
dren.”
“Then you and I are kin."
“Yes, but very far removed, I am
thankful.”
“I don’t eee why you^are s> exjlt
ant about the distance of our i elution
ship. I’m just as good as jou are,
Tom Lansing."
“A thousand times better, lit tie girl.
But I am glad we are not near of kin
because I want you to be my. jv!fe ”
“Lift me up,” she said, ”un‘ 1 I can
kiss the bronze lips of that old In
vader.”
“Can’t do that,” he said, “h t I will
be old Tecumseh’s proxy for o tc.e.”

TREMENDOUS POWER. OF SEA
Average Landsman Would Find If
Hard Properly to Appreciate
Its Full Force.
The average inland American who
has never seen the ocean has no real
i idea of the force of its waves. He
reads about the storm, of boats being
carried away and bulwarks stove in.
But he does not realize the steam
hammer blows that may be struck by
mere water.
A recent storm on the British coast
received Hie official designation of
a storm of “extreme force.” A pic
ture taken in Hastings harbor shows
the concussion w-ith which the waves
struck the sea w-all, sending the spray
apparently higher than the buildings
S along the street. Blocks of concrete
and iron railings were torn from the
new- parade extension at. Caroline
place and tossed back into the road
way as if they had been bits of plank.
Timber work that had withstood the
stress of years was torn apart and
I carried away. Basements were flood
ed along all the seaward face of the
I town.
I Such a storm, when it sweeps over
j a ship, will sometimes carry away al
most everything on deck. Deck houses
are often smashed, and the lifeboats
i are often stove in and ruined.
Various attempts have been made
to devise motors to develop power
from the force of the waves. The
amount of energy wasted through
their lack of success Is beyond esti
mate. If the power of the sea could
\ be used it would drive the machinery
of an unlimited number of plants.
MAKING HARD WATER SOFT
Addition of Proper Quantity of Quick
lime Will Bring It to the
Desired Condition.
Many well waters have from 16 to
18 degrees of hardness, while even
river and lake waters may have from
5 to 25 degrees. Hardness is usually
due to the presence of compounds of
lime and magnesia dissolved out of
the soils and rocks. The lime salts
do most of the damage by curdling
the soap and preventing its cleansing
action. The curdled soap remains in
the water, sticks to the fibers of the
cloth, and is very difficult to remove
by washing, even with hot water.
Water of ten degrees of hardness will
prevent the action of seventeen
pounds of soap per thousand gallons
of water, while water of twenty de
grees of hardness will prevent the
action of thirty-four pounds of soap
per thousand gallons of water.
Much of the hardness of water may
be removed by the addition of two
pounds of quick lime to one thousand
gallons of water of average hard
ness. This will not remove more
than about three-quarters of the hard
ness of the water, but it can be still
further softened by adding a little
washing soda.
Appeals to the Police.
A boy, the tone of whose voice In
dicated he was between five and sev
en years old, called Central police sta
tion and talked over the telephone to
Sergt. Harry Franklin.
“Is dis p’lice station?" inquired the
youngster.
“Yes, sir,” replied the sergeant.
“Well, Alice stole my skates, and
I want the p'lice to put her in jail.”
Then the informer began to cry
Sergeant Franklin attempted several
times to question the lad further, but
the sobs were his only answer.
“And their troubles are just as real
and big to them as the other trou
bles that come over this wire," re
marked the sergeant as he gently
hung up the receiver.—Indianapolis
News.
Inhospitable Tundras.
Tundras are swampy tracts of land,
covered partly with a thick layer oi
bog moss, partly with a dry, snow
white covering of reindeer moss and
varieties of lichens, bordering the
Arctic ocean in Siberia and stretch
west from the Ural mountains along
the north of Europe. It is only the
reindeer that renders this waste habit
able for the wandering hordes of
Samoyeds who hunt the furred ani
mals, as well as the swans and wild
geese, which, in summer, flock there
j in great numbers. These polar steppes,
however, can be trodden only in win
ter, when the whole region is one
sheet of frozen soil and ice.
He Was Careful.
"I thought you told me Bunch could
talk Russian.” • *
“So he can.”
"Then why wouldn’t he talk to the
Russian gentleman who came here yes
terday?”
“Because that ulcerated tooth has
made his jaw so tender.”
As a Bracer.
“How do you feel this morning?”
"My tongue feels like an old rug.”
“Mine, too. Well, the best thing for
that fuzzy feeling is a compbor cock
tain with a mothball in it.”
