They are to him abominable abuses, although they seem rooted in the nature of things, ineradicable. But if war should come as the result of Germany's latest de- fiance, the politicians will have to do some big explaining for things as they are. Our people look with scorn at Eu- rope for tolerating such useless bag- gage as kings and thrones and lords. Yet we have our own bosses who are quite as powerful and much more mis- chevious. On the whole the conduct of the war in Europe seems to have been fairly honest. Producers have been all grab- bing for profits, of course, as the camp followers of any war invariably do. There has been plenty of stupidity and plenty of red tape. But outside of Russia there has been no wholesale complaint of fraudulent supplies. One has to go back to our own little sum- mer-holiday war of 1898 to find a badly offensive odor. But suppose in the present exigency, war should come. Suppose Germany escapes from her bonds of steel, and places a fleet of battleships in New York harbor and Long Island sound, ready to attack the coast cities and the big munition plants. Our poli- ticians will have to do a lot of ex- plaining for many deplorable condi- tions that have continued despite the indignant protest of both the Army and the Navy. Carrying congressional districts and pleasing the storekeepers near navy yards and army posts would look pretty small with an enemy pounding on our doors. Keeping army posts where they were needed to fight the Indians would not be accepted as an excuse for the destruction of munition plants needed for National protection. It was thought that after the revela- tions of the Cuban war, our politicians would have learned a lesson. But it is not recorded that any congressman ever admitted that a navy yard or army post in his own district was use- less. * * * * * CAN MAKE OWN CAREER At many Lincoln Day banquets the thought of the hour was Lincoln's democratic spirit, his rise from pov- erty to great fame, and the chance this country gives the poor boy. Yet as the poor man's son in our schools hears the Lincoln Day thought ex- pounded by the teacher, he sees very little chance for him to rise. He would trade his chances of being president, or even of acquiring a sizable bank account, for one clay marble. The boy in Lincoln's position 75 years ago suffered from adverse ex- terior circumstances. Without educa- tion and stimulating associdtion, there was little chance that genius would be fanned into flame. If the poor boy of today has good qualities of mind and heart, his teach- er will discover it. Thousands of such rough diamonds are all the time picked out from the dirtiest dust heaps, and are winning their way. But in the bright boy's own heart there are too many seeds of decay. There are the corroding influences of the street, the cheap theater and the loafing hangouts. In many a home of poverty, high ideals have been pre- served, and the boy is kept from these corrupting influences and urged on to show what is in him. But if home poverty is due to vice, and the boy runs wild in the street, the best school advantages can do little for him. So the poor boy should realize that it is all up to him. He has a good chance in our democratic America if he can but rise above the low level of the street. Let him do any honest work out of school hours, save his money, and before long he will have a good name in the business community. Then it is only a strong and steady pull, and his future is secure. up the United States by solemnly re- solving that we shall be the goat. up, the speculators won't know where to get advance information about the next break. is not the youth who expects to have to go into battle for his country, but the one who just mailed a valentine to his best girl. * Washington's Birthday by reading his farewell address, but now they do it by sticking up red paper hatchets around the room. coln's Birthday would probably have been celebrated by attending the ball game, but in this weather the only way of doing reverence to his memory was to go to the movies. complete, the hall should have been papered with dollar bills. operating submarines on the ground kings before conducting further the nection with the German note was to arrange for a leak to Wall street. ee in the market for their products. * * * * * The latest report from the paper manufacturers' exchange is that Uncle Sam has countermanded his order for 17 tons of note paper with which to continue diplomatic negotia- tions with Germany. * * * * * The neutral powers propose to back * * * * *® If that leak committee doesn't hurry * * * * * The really trembling figure just now * * * * Formerly they used to observe * * * * * At another season of the year Lin- * * * * * To have made the automobile show * * * * * So far no one has applied for a job that he helped some politician get elected. * % * %* ¥ It has been decided at Washington not to ask the permission of European government of the United States. * * * * * One thing carelessly omitted in con- Domestic Science and Living Costs No. 5 The intimate relation between Domestic Science teaching and living costs lies along two lines: First, many familiar points are in- sisted upon by domestic science schools. Such as the saving made by personal visits to markets instead of ordering by telephone, economy of buying in large quantities, utilization of waste portions of meat and other foods, reducing meat costs through selection and cookery of cheaper cuts, preserving fruits and vegetables, etc. Another line of economics brought out by domestic science training is less familiar. This deals with losses that ordinary houseworkers sustain through false motions, wrongly placed tools, failure to arrange and classify utensils. The workman's bench in a modern factory is a study in reduction of mo- tions. Every tool is so placed that the reach for it is as short as possible. All are so classified that the worker does not spend time thinking where any particular one is placed. The ordinary kitchen is different. Utensils for getting a meal are mixed with those for clearing away a meal, or for other purposes. Time is spent in hunting for tools. There is much lost motion. Furthermore, a great many women fatigue themselves at sinks or tables placed at a wrong height. Women's inability to do-house- work is commonly merely weariness doing it in an untrained way. The wrong placing of stoves, sinks, store- rooms, kitchen and dining room, table supplies, kitchen and china closets, multiplies the number of steps and the worker is tired before the day's work is half done. Experts in these lines have produced elaborate time-studies showing the possibilities of reduction of motion. A typical one by Professors Charles and Mary Barnard of Darien, Conn., indi- cated that the time of preparing eggs for breakfast could be reduced from 27 motions and six minutes, to 15 mo- tions and 50 seconds, by using a fire- less coddler. BARGAINS PAY-UP WEEK Business Men of Nation Making Low Prices to Cash Buyers on Many Lines of Standard Goods. Not alone will the payment of bills generate business and pass prosperity around, but the business men of the nation are backing it up by making ridiculously low price offers on stand- ard merchandise during National Pay- Up Week. Every line of business will put some special article or articles out for bargain prices during this par- ticular week and it should be of great benefit to the trading public to make their cash purchases at these savings. Every community is looking forward to a general benefit to everybody in the community and there is no ques- tion but what the National movement is of mutual benefit to both buyer and seller, payer and collector.
