CHEERED BY CROWDS IN ROW Ex-President Says He Had No En gagement With Methodists or Any Intention to Make Address to Them. Rome, April r. At the special inrl tntlon of KIhr Victor Emmanuel, The odoro Roosevelt went out driving to day with his majesty in the roynl ear riaRe. They drove on the Corso ant around the mins of the Forum nnc Raw the Villa Horglicse, the Villa Me diet and other famous palaces. King Victor and his American Rues had a long and pleasant conversation the king asking mauy questions aboul the United States and showing th( liveliest interest in American instltu Hons. King Victor Emmanuel in talkltif. with Colonel Roosevelt used English which he speaks lluently. Mr. Rooso volt replied fully to the king's qucs tions and talked not only of his Afrl can experiences, but of conditions It the United States and nlso touched or great international subjects. Crowds gathered on the prlnclpa. streets cheered Mr. Itoosevelt enthusl astically. After returning from the drive Mr Itoosevelt was asked by several re porters to go more fully into the mat ter of the pope's refusal of an Inter view, but he declined to be inter viewed. The only question ho an swered was one that brought out thai he bad not, either now or previous tc the Vatican's action, any intention tc visit or address the Methodist churcl in Home. The Rev. Dr. B. M. Tipple, pastor ol the American Methodist church Ii. Home, declared today that no lnvlta tlou had been given to ex-I'rcsldonl Itoosevelt to visit that Institution and that he had never been expected tc call or to make an address. "While the work of Methodism li. Rome," said Mr. Tipple, "started the rumpus, it is no longer .Methodism oi any other ism, but the great principle of toleration. Mr. Itoosevelt has struck a blow for twentieth century Christi anity. "The representatives of two great republics have been the ones to put the Vatican where is belongs. Presi dent Loubet refused Jo accede to Vati can conditions, and now Mr. Fairbanks and Mr. Roosevelt come to maintain tho dignity and independence of Amer ican manhood in the face of Vatican tyranny. "After the Fairbanks episode the Methodists never dreamed that the Vatican would commit a similar blun der with Mr. Roosevelt. That it has done so is added proof that the policy prevailing there is the same yesterday, today and forever. The Vatican is the Vatican. Tho world advances, but the Vatican never." Cardinal Merry del Val, papal secre tary of state, when asked as to the cir cumstances surrounding the failure ot Colonel Itoosevelt to meet the popo said-' "The Methodists here in Itome strive by every means to conduct a campaign of venomous hostility against the holy father by lies and slanders. Hero at his very door, in this his own episco pal city, they harbor alien priests. Moreover, they openly sympathize with and aid his ouemles. "When Mr. Roosevelt expressed n wish to see the pope it was feared that he did. not know that the situa tion was as I have described it. As n consequence he was advised in a friendly way, and the hope was ex pressed that the audience would not be prevented by any incident similar to that which made impossible a meet ing between his holiness and Mr. Fair banks. "When audiences are arranged the Vatican authorities naturally suggest beforehand In a friendly way the things that are to be done. All this interchange of messages was prelim inary and was naturally considered in the Vatican as confidential, not for the Vatican's sake, but for that of- Mr. Roosevelt himself In order that he might be left free and unembarrassed on Ids arrival in Rome. "I saw Mr. O'Loughlin, who pre sented u letter from Mgr. Falconlo at Washington, who cabled the.samoday that it was his desiro that I seo Mr. Otf.oughlln merely in tho capacity of one of Mr. Roosevelt's traveling com panions. Mr. O'Loughlin told mo that ho did not represent Mr. Roosevelt, and then I asked what lie was hero for. "Mr. O'Loughlin answered, -To see if wo cannot arrango tho matter.' no assured mo that if tho telegrams that liad passed were withdrawn Mr. Itoosovelt would boo tho popo and all tho difficulties would bo at an end. "Mr. O'Loughlln's contention was that Mr. Roosevelt was at liberty to go where ho liked and to do what ho pleased after tho audience. "My reply was: 'After or before makes no difference. It is not a ques tlon of religion. Mr. Roosevelt can go to hifl own or to any Protestant church in the city of Itomo and whilo there deliver an address If he clipolns to do so. Then if he pleases he may drive direct from that church and lc received by the Holy Father, I add ed, however, that It would be turn tactful If Mr. Roosevelt would 'IM drive to his hotel and there wait n rov minutes before starting out for the tin dlence. "'Rut,' I went on, 'he cannot go tc tho Methodists In this place. Tliej arc particularly offensive to his holi ness because they conduct a campalgi of villainous calumny against th( holy see. Therefore to go before oi after the audience with the popo and with the full knowledge that It would bo offensive would be equally objec tlonablo to the Holy Father.' "Continuing, I said to Mr. O'l.ough lln, 'All I ask Is this. Can you assnr me that Mr. Roosevelt, will de facte not go to the Methodists, thus leav lng entirely aside the question ol what he may consider to be his rights in the matter?' "Mr. O'Loughlin replied: 'I canno. give you any such assurance. He ha. mado no such engagement.' "I replied, 'Mr. Roosevelt Is entlrelj free to go where he pleases, but tin Holy Father Is certainly free to refuse to receive any one who observes thf right wittingly to offend him.' " Colonel Roosevelt and his party wll leave Rome tomorrow night for Spezia Then after a few days of a purelj family trip, which will include golnp over the ground covered by the Roose volt honeymoon, the party will react. Cenoa on Monday. There the colonel will meet Gilford Pluchot, late chlei forester in the United States. "I heard from Piuehot today," said Colonel Roosevelt. "It was the first communication that I have had from him since I left Egypt. No doubt 1 shall be asked to tell what we bad tc say to each other when wo meet, but I shall have nothing to tell and shall be very much surprised if Plnchol has." ROOSEVELT INDORSED. Methodist Conferences at Poughkeep sie and Binghamton Take Action. Poughkeepsle, X. Y., April CTlu following preamble and resolutions were adopted by the New York Metho dlst Episcopal conference and cabled to former President Roosevelt: Whereas, Ex-President Itoosevelt hat refused to accept the conditions Imposed In the namo of the head of the llomar church upon lilm during Ills visit to Konu relative to a proposed audience with tin pope; and Whereas, The papal representative, Car dinal Merry del Val, Is reported as hav lng said: "It Is not In any sense a ques tion of rellfflon. Mr. Itoosevelt mlshl have Bone to an Episcopalian, a Presby terian or any other church except the Methodist and delivered an address ther and he would have been received by tht pope even the same day, but he could not bo received when It was suspected thai after tho audience ho Intended to go tc the Methodist church in Itome, which If carrying on n most offensive campaign ol calumny and detraction against the pon tiff." Resolved. That wo deny that tho Meth odists In Itome are carrying on a cam paign of calumny and destruction against tho pope; Itesolved, That we commend tho sturdj Americanism of ex-President Itoosevelt and wo afllrm our approval of his rejec tion of conditions debasing alike to Amer ican manhood and American freedom ol speech. The resolutions were read by tht Rev. W. II. Finch of Osslnlng, whe asked for a rising vote. He was cheer ed as he concluded, and everybody stood up while enthusiasm prevailed. Bishop Warren said that the forniei president bad taken the only position a true American could take. Ringhamton, N. Y., April S. Chan cellor J. II.

Washington, April 5. It is said that tho visit of Cardinal Gibbons to Presi dent Taft had nothing to do with tho pope's refusal to seo Colonel Roose velt. Cardinal Gibbons had mado his ap pointment with President Taft a week ago. That was after Mr. Roosevelt had sent his final mcssago to .Ambas sador Lelshman announcing his do clslon not to attend tho audience at tho Vatican under tho proposed re strictions. Cardinal Gibbons was with the president less than half an hour. As tho cardinal was leaving tho ex ecutive oillco ho stopped to chat for a tnlnuto or two with tho correspond ents, no was askOd if ho would make any comment on tho incident in Rome. "No," said he, "that's too delicato a matter to talk about" ' As tho cardinal was stepping Into his tnxtcab ono of the nowapaper men asked if the president had refer red to tho incident. "Tho president," said Cardinal Gib bons, raising his hat and bowing, ia In oxcellont health." MOTORING CHS BALDNESS Women Must Choose Between Fewer Rides or Leas Hair, Says Noted Dermatologist. Doston.-It Is apparent from what Dr. C. J. White, dermatologist at tho Massachusetts General Hospital, says that women must cither cut down tho number of auto trips or run tho awful chances of becoming bald. The noted authority says motoring is bad for tho hair. "Usually women neglect to properly cover their heads, with the result that they are compelled to take too many shampoos," Dr. White said. "Wash ing tho hair and scalp once a month is often enough for a skin which Is nor mal. A shampoo every other day or so, or even once a week, will produce baldness, and after a person reaches twenty-five or thirty years of ago It la Impossible to cure abnormal falling out of hair." The problem is that if women want to go motoring they must completely cover tho hair, but that keeps out the air and produces baldness. If they permit tho dust to get on tho scalp and then submit to the wicked shampoo they will also lose their hair. Tho only safe way Is to reduce tho number of auto trips. 303000DOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Bishop Lawrence's Suggestion 8 to prevent the Divorce Evil. Roston. Bishop William Lawrence, head of the Episcopal diocese of Eastern Massachu setts, makes these live sugges tions to prevent divorce and un happy marriage by the educa tion of children: That children should stay at nome more In the evenlnn with their parents, and that parents onould forget attending theatres and clubs nightly but remain nome with their children. That young people contem plating marriage should know each other Intimately and have each others' confidences lona before the marriage ceremony is performed. That children should be edu cated for marrlaqe. That there should be purity before and after the marriage x ceremony. 6 That young couples who are A to marry should have a sense of " solidarity when Joined In wed- lock. CCCCGCCCOCCCCCCCCOCCCCCOOO EARTH NOT YOUNG. Salt In the Sea Gives It Age of 400 Million Years. Chicago. Tho jealousy guarded se cret of Mother Earth's age has at last been revealed, and It was tho ocean that gave her away. According to the Journal of Geo logy Issued from tho University of Chicago Press, tho earth Is -100,000,000 years old. The approximate age of the earth. It has been discovered, may be determined by dividing the amount of salt in the sea by tho amount brought down each year by tho riv ers that empty into it, a simple prob lem in arithmetic. Sir John Murray, Prof. Joly and M. Dubois, eminent geologists, stand for ward as champions of the new method. Finding the amount of salt In the sea was only a matter of chemical analysis and calculation. The amount ot salt brought down by the rivers in a year was more difficult, but not im possible of determination, the Investi gators found, and for the rest it was only a matter of division.

Sir James C. Duflleld, of London, a lineal descendant of Lord Cornwollts, horo on a pleasure Jaunt, Is much hurt, he says, because he finds Americans make light of tho Georgo Washington hatchet story. "You Americans, you know, don't ap preciate your Washington, dont you know," ho said. "Why shouldn't you bollovo the story about the cherry treo?

Of Interest to Women To Overcome Difficulties En countered In Living with Moth- er-ln-Law, Bride Should Assume 1 the Attltudo of a Guest Unre mitting Courtesy Makes Peace. A brldo who has to live with her mothcr-ln-lnw may llnd dally life less complicated If she thinks herself as a guest who Is making a long vIslL It may be a forlorn feeling at times, but It has the merit of preventing assump tion or undue familiarity on her part and will savo many nn attack of heart sickness or irritation. It is a tradition that to live With her mother-in-law Is a difficult matter for a young married woman. Because she Is nt home during the day, trifles constantly arlso which sho must Ig nore or control, as the case may be. If she takes the attitude of being, not a daughter of the house, but a guest, willing to add her quota to the enter tainment and to be generally courte ous, many small matters will he kept from her, for a formal situation Is cre ated, and there will bo a "thus-far-and-no-farther" atmosphere that Is easier to live In than the constant friction that sometimes exists in such households. A bride who lives with her mother-in-law might as well recognize first as last that she cannot entertain her friends as she would If she were In her own home. Her mother-in-law may be cordial, but the young woman will find that conditions are not as sho would have them, and from her point of view the entertainment will bo a failure. A formal dinner may be eminently successful where an Infor mal luncheon would not succeed. Her mother-in-law may receive from her the same tactful courtesy that the girl would practice toward any older woman In whoso house she might be a welcome guest. But by keeping to the guest and hostess atti tude the girl assumes nothing, and Is therefore neither hurt nor disappoint ed when little things are not as sho would have them. In the house of a friend she would not expect her own Ideas to be followed, and the house of her mother-in-law can only be that, save In exceptional Instances. Unremitting courtesy and a slight formality will make for peace and comfort with both daughter and mother-in-law. It is not well to go con stantly from room to room so that privacy becomes Impossible for either. For a fow days this would not matter, hut when months and years are to be lived together such trifles as respect ing each other's rights and privacy" become- highly important.

English authorities hold that thero Is no certain tost of age In fowls. But they adroit that In gonpral the spurs both of hens and Cocks will distin guish a two-year-old bird. There aro exceptions, however, In whkh regally young birds develop old looking spurs, while really second year birds preserve tho short, round ed spurs of a cockerel. The texture of tho legs Is a guldo, to some extent, and so ore tho delica cy hnd froshness of the skin of the face nnd comb, but still an occasional hen will preserve her youthful appear ance to a startling degree. The skin of the body Is a bettor test, as It becomes coarser and dryer looking with age. Formerly the wing feathers were considered an absolute test as between a pullet and a hen, oven after the long practice of early breeding had made the molting Of early pullets quite com mon. - An Austrian authority says that a pullet will show rose-colored veins on the surface of the skin, under tho wings. There will also be long, silky hairs growing there. After a year old these hairs disappear, as also" do the veins, nnd the skin grows white and vein less. It Is more difficult to Judge the age of water fowl than of other poultry, partly from the absence of spurs, part ly from greater longevity and partly because the water keeps their legs soft and fresh. Ducks waddle more heavily as they grow older, and after two or tnroe years they acquire a depression down the breast. An abdominal pouch of considerable size Indicates great age In geese. Turkeys up to a year old are said to have black feet, which grow pink up to three years of age, when they gradu ally turn gray and dull. Age in pigeons Is often told by the color of the breast. In squabs the flesh looks whitish as seen through the skin, but becomes more and more purplish as the bird grows older. Forms of Chickens' Combs; No matter how poultfy may excel In shape, color and size, a malformed comb and bad lobes will destract from the chances of success, especial ly in the non-sitting or Mediterranean breeds, where the ornamental head gear, or comb. Is so conspicuously at tractive. There are many kinds of combs, as will be seen In the accom panying illustration, which are de serving of notice, chief of which are LcttHOPn Forms of Combs, the single serrated' comb, as seen in such breeds as Minocas, Leghorns, Orpingtons. Plymouth Rocks, Lang shans, Dorking, In different sizes; the rose-comb, beautifully worked or cor rugated, and full of small points, as seen chiefly In tho Redcap, Hamburg, and Wyandotte family. Then thero Is the pea comb, or triple comb, that Is, throe parallol ridges (or very small combs), aB seen in tho Brahmas or the Indian Game. Selecting Pullets for Laying. The only absolutely suro way of making selection for breeding stock is by means of the data obtained from tho use of trap nestu. Only Invostlga tors and an occasional poultryman. however, can afford tho equipment and tho cxponse Involved In operating trap nosts, but every poultryman tan. by closely observing his young stock durlug the uutumn, select tho pullets that are commencing or preparing to lay, and socure for the next season's breeding a pen of birds that havo tho function of ogg production so strongly developed that they give evidence ot it by its onrly exercise. Fattening TurKeys. Fattening turkoys need lots of ex orcise, and confinement will ofton cause them to mopo and pine instead of iiutting on flesh. And tho wild spirit In thorn will often cause thorn to prefer treos to tholr rogular roost ing place, and If. not watched, thoy may wander uway. Windows aro host on tho south and east sides, as thoy got tho most sun. Do not feed poultry too much bar loy. A little will go a long way. The house should bo fairly warm, dry, freo from draughts, well llghtod, and ventilated. Keep tho hen manure in a dry placo through tho winter. It is a valuable soil tonic. I'KOFKSSIONAI. CAltDS.
