THE GARBAGE CAN.

Secretary Houston's estimate that $700,000,000 a year is wasted in Amerik*n kitchens is not Beyond belief ev£h though the sum strikes one at first as appalling. In a country with a population of 100,000,000 the individual must take care not to waste his share Of that sum and may easily waste it

Without being aware that he wastes. While it has frequently been said that the wellrto-.do American is responsible for our food waste, the statement is not altogether true. The recent investigation of family expense accounts made by the New York board 6f health showed that the po6r make their food budgets extravagantly. In Chicago, Jane Addams aril her Hull house people made the same discovr ery and tried to correct it..

The- trouble in-this regard with the

0

city poor is that they are largely of foreign origin and have never learned how to buy in American markets. Education will accomplish much in this field, for the people are willing enough to save and were frugal in thei^household management in the old country. What can be done with the willfully wasteful American is another matter. In Europe war is teaching everybody how to save.

THE RECENT PAST.

Congressman Ralph W. Moss, who is 'just leaving the service of 'the people of this district, calls attention to the fact that while the last days of the closing congress wer.e filled with conflict, few congresses in the history of the nation have been so responsive to public call or have been so fruitful of progressive legislation.

A moment's retrospect seems to bear him out. To the sixty-fourth congress belongs the distinction ofbeing the first to 'tiake seriously in hand the longdiscussed suggestion that the nation pay serious heed to its'military defenses. It was a preparedness congress. Though several steps were

It was this oongress, too, that attempted the doubtful taslf^ of-feifleray*-ing the national guard to ihake it an efficient secorid line, of defense. It, is probable that by now the folly of the attempt is apparent to most observers. Universal military training must be resorted to, and the new congress may be expected to give the subject very careful investigation.

This congress did more for the navy than any other congress in the history oft the country. The adoption of a three-year building, program in itself was significant, in number and character of vessels authorized this congress ranks very high. At the same time the army has been increased and the. coast defenses libera,lljr', sustained.

Zimmerman's insolent notice to the United States to keep its ships off the sea was'..very properly met by President Wilson's order *to arm the merchant vessels and'send them out and to shoot at sight of a submarine*periscope.

The same war that boosted laundry prices has also sent up both celluloid and white paper. The collar wearing public is up against it for sure.

Collins, in charge. The. "Famous Dixie shows" are being negotiated with to put their big circus on the lot west of the armory. Even without this feature the carnival plans indicate. much merriment and entertainment for the public. There will be five or six carnival shows and several concessions. Among them will be a liberal sprinkling of free acts. Dancing and music, will be in evidence throughout the program.

The object of. the carnival is to secure funds to renovate, the armory, which has suffered deterioration during the company's absence. Funds will also be needed to take care of the equipment of the trobp' company into which the infantry company is to be converted,.

The slides illustrating the lecture were of unusual interest. The first was of Thomas A. Edison and a perfect ear of com, the comparison carried throughout the lecture. The subject of the conflict of heredity and environment, now relegated to the junk heap of pseudo-science,J was not discussed, but the influence of the first as a determined factor a,nd the latter as an influential force,, was taken up.
