Rockefeller a lot of good to don a cnn'.-dtggor's suit for'a day or two in the Colorado mines. It would do him still more good if he'd wear that suit for a month, doing a ruiner's work and living on a miner's wages. Every young millionaire who has never done any manual labor ought to take a pre liminary course tn wage-earning toll, lt's what Peter the Great did, when he was fitting himself tb rule Russia, and lt made.him the greatest snd wisest of all the Cxars. GEMIAN REFORMATION Wc can no longer dig up much en thusiasm over "concessions" made by thu (?crinan government. Our diplo matic experience of tho last few DlontbB has taught us to bc cautious In our ecstasies. When it comes to the Kaiser yielding anything substan tial to law and humanity and the ful fillment of treaty obligations, most Ann ric ans have definitely taken up their residence In Missouri. They don't eire to wawte/ahr more emo tions over this diplomatie game. When they are convinced hy deeds that Germany means what she says about her naval reforms, or means what Ambassador Rernstorff says she says, thou they may relax their cyni cal 'show me" attitude and give back to Coonany the frank confidence due in honorable nutlon. It must be admitted, however, that the reorganisation of the Gcrmun luval staff looks very much like evi dence of a real change of heurt In Berlin. Admiral von TIrpltz appears o have shelved, ulong with the policy 3f assassination for which he stands. Tho blood-and-lron doctrine of 'frightfulness" semes to be repudiat ed. Strict orders are said to have been Issued to submarine commanders to return to legal methods of warfare, recognizing their obligation to re ipect neutral shipping, to give all loncombatants a chance for '?heir lives, and not to destroy any vow-jel >i commerce except after due waru ng or for just cauao. Assurances, .uo, have boen sent to Washington .ending to corroborate this reputed 'lianm; of policy. We shall soe. If, for a reasonable period, np more liners aro attacked, io moro American merchantmen are down up and no more citizens ure orpedoed* antf if reparation is actual y made, or pledged beyond posslbil ty of hedging, for tho American lives md property destroyed unlawfully >y Gorman submarines,. we? shall then legln to look upon Germany as a respeuMfble and civilised neighbor worthy of renewed business and BO :lal rotations. THE GREAT AMERICAN FLIRT Mrs. Alec Tweedie, an English wrlt ir, in a recent book on "Women the iVorld Over," pays a special tribute to American women. It isn't tho usual me, at all. In comparing them with ho women, of other lands sho is struck lesa -hy" tbssT i Wited beauty ir intellect th>>a. by . their supreme ten lus for tho worldr?td game of Hrtlng. In this realm, wo are told, the Unorlcan glr| hos only^jc-ne competl or. "Of ali'Yc?quettee off this globe, >f many races and Alvar?; colors, tho greatest flirts aro the American and ?panish." Tho two types, however, ire characterized^ by very ' different no thoth.. "The apanfBh girl ls a silk >n. sinuous Olrt, wlth',hcautirul little ?andu and feet and lazy ways. The American is an effervescent one. She lubbles al! over with life and enthuB aam, is virile to her finger-tips, 'jol ies' men until they do not know vhether they are on their heads or heir heels." Undoubtedly the compliment-if it s a compliment-ls deserved, as mil tons of male Americans can testify, nany of them to their sorrow. Vhether tho unfilrtatlous feminist vin take any satisfaction In this mluonce is somewhat doubtful. It is Still more doubtful whether ny American women except tho hand ul. that .hope to marry Into English Itlos wilt be pleased by Mrs. 'woodie's conclusion that "the Amor - can woman is what the modern Eng ishwoman might have been had she ot centuries of conservatism and tra ition behind her; wo \ (tho English) ro what the fair American may yet income." Let our men, at least, utter a word f pretest. If tho evolution, of the Lnierlcan i's going' to maka her more nd more like the English women, we rant no. moro evolution. We prefer unorlcan women as they are. VILLA'S BUSINESS AGENT Here are the outlines ot ? story- that >. Henry might have written. A hobo found himself "set out*' In he little way station of blorra Blanca, 'ex. A generous cowboy listened to da tal? of woe and gave him a ?v*' ,ollar bill. He rode Into Bl Paso on , first class ticket, got drunk on the hange and ?limbed onto the roda ot . Bleeper on a' west-bound train. He apposed ho was en rout? to Cal if or la. Ile woke up covered with alkali lust in a Mexican town. ..Ai rough oohing man o?i th? platform laughed it the spectacle he presented and ut ?red a few words in Spanish. A uni-, brm ed Mexican approached the hobo ir.d said: "Gen. Villa offers you Use ns? of da bath In his privat?, ear. He will provide you with a new suit of clothes, You are to walt until ho re turns." Tin hobo entered the luxurious car, bathed, donned a fine new tailor-made ?ult, smoked some good cigars, and men Gen. Villa returned. He looked his guest over critically. "Ho you know unythlng about busi ness'" he asked. "Try me!" answered the hobo. Villa gav?: bim a roll of banknotes und told him to gut busy and sell a lot of crude rubber that had been con fiscated and was stored at Torre?n. Thc hobo got on the Job. First he adopted u Spanish name. He took the initial "D" for "damn" and in vented tito cognomen "Soucedo," which he judged ought to be Spanish for "souse." Ho hurriedly gathered detail? of the rubber industry, went to San Antonio, sold tho stuff by wire to New York dealers, got a big draft for the money and turned it over to Villa. Tlie rebel general thereupon made bim bis general business agent. Soucedo quickly learned to speak Spanish and write it He has been remarkably successful. They say Vil la's campaign would have collapsed months ugo if lt hadn't been for his cleverness and loyalty. Business men m nearly every large city In the coun try aro familiar with the signature, "D. Soucedo" on war contracts. This is the Btory that "Soucedo" himself tells of his recent career. MJ early lifo ls a mvstcry. Really what's tho use of writing fiction when things like that happen in real life? THE TRUFFLE INDUSTRY Giacomo Glavelll of New York City in dead. Ho's tho man who discovered the American truffle. And if you've never heard of truffles, they're a sort of croBs between a potato and a puff Mil, which grows underground with out any foliage or roots, and ls worth eight dollars a pound. Truffles are used chlfly for flavor ing food. You can get meat Berved "with truffles" In the bost New York and Chicago restaurants by paying two or thr.ee dollars oxtra. You prob ably won't sec any truffles at that, you'll ftt a whiff of them in the sauce which you can recognize if you're a connoh-B<Mir. Clavelli originated the truffle In- ' dus'ry in America. He had come from a famous truffle region In Italy, bringing with him his truffle hound Milan. The tuber 1B always hunted with dogt. or pigs trained to scent lt. Ho didn't see why truffles shouldn't grow in America as well aa in Italy and France, and so took his dog into the Jersey woods. The Drat day trusty Milan dug up about ten dollars' worth. Then he formed a partnership with Lorenzo Kobba and imported some moro trained doge, and for many years they have made a good living out of ugly looking "roots" from the woods ot neighboring counties. They tried to interest the depart- , ment of agriculture, and Glavelll of-? fo""d to mako a truffle survey ot the. United States if the government would pay lils expenses, hu reasoned that. Inasmuch as France produced $7,0v0. 000 to $0,000,000 worth of truffles a year nnd the United States ts much larger, there may be from $50,000.000 ?lo MOO.i'00.000 worth of truffle* going to waco every year. Dut the gov ernment never took s >y action. Undoubtedly there arc millions of dollars worth of thean elght-dollar a-pound tubers benoath tho. oaks, chestnuts; and birches of 'American woods, and nobody getting any bone fit from them.

The denial was dar ug an address in the exercises that ipened tho college year in the bulld ogs in West Fifty-ninth Btreet. "Even writers of scientific pa ters," Dr. Wood said, "speak ci tho magic power of radium"-rangle, be aus? they do not understand lt. Vhen its physical qualities are fully inderstood we will -hear very litthi bout the use of radium in the treat ment of cancer. In spite of all tat?mente about the wonderful mes radium produces, we know that I will cure only a very small num ier of cancers, and will do nothing ihIch cannot be done by surgery. Hints at "Quack" Practice. . "Owing to the furor and, publicity iver it, however, it is not always ossible to get patients to HU bin it to urgery for the removal ot a tumor, bey are so anxious to bo treated .Uh radium. The farmer in thc urtherest New England hills, rend us in his weekly paper that radium s a certain cure for all kinds of can er, comes to town and refuses an peratlon which, might ' save him, my to fall into the hands of the earest quack who has a little pow er in a tubo." Dr. Wood quoted from an address cfc re a committee in congress -fast ear in which radium was extolled s "like the blessed light from hcav u." pentrattng beyond the reach ot urgery and destined to perform utracles in chemistry and physics, asking what there is in the element f radium which so warps judgment "d n' rlly intelligent.

The controversy between Henry Ford and Professor Parker as to Who was the originator of the plan for a dimlnutlce submarine .boat has been met by a statement of L. Y. Spear, president of the New London Ship and Engine company at Groton, a sub sidiary plant of the , Klcctric Boat company.

The plates wer* quickly assembled after reaching their desti nation, which is not mad o public. Deisel '*A\ engines and electric mo tors were installed and Uve subma rinos were equipped with two stand ard size Whitehead torpedoes. The boats, put In commission In 1911, were capable of traveling sixty miles, and could develop ten knot speed cn the surface or nine knots submerged. The hull sections wore built . and shipped from Fore River secretly and it is reported the total cost of the miniature submarines was less than ' the sum mentioned by either Ford or Parker, lt is also said that the craft hare been doing excellent work dur ing the present war and are still afloat and searching for marine prey, according to last reports.
