The President and the U. S. S. "Piffle." The President of the United States is head of the army and navy and is responsible for the proper administration of insular affairs. In case of war it is his duty to serve as commander-in-chief of all forces, and in peace to see that army and navy are maintained in readiness for conflict ; and whether in war or peace to see that affairs in our island provinces are as they should be. This last is a duty which he fulfills through the war department since the bureau of insular affairs belongs to that branch of the federal system. Therefore, to be equipped for war and adequately to govern the islands it is absolutely essential that the army be ever kept as efficient and thoroughly trained as possible. In view of these facts we can readily understand why President Wilson was so incensed at the antics of the Order of Carabao when it held its annual banquet in Washington last Thursday. This organization is composed of officers of the army and navy who have served in the Philippines. Wit and banter runs riotous at its annual banquets and its after dinner speeches are always filled with explosions of wit and satire. But the gold-braided gentlemen overstepped themselves this year by carrying through a very ill-mannered program in which a song, "Damn, Damn, Damn the Insurrectoes" featured with a parade of three battle-ships decorated with Secretary Bryan's dove of peace and bearing the names "Fellowship," "Friendship" and "Piffle." A moving-picture was also exhibited in which a Filipino desperado, after three year chase, was captured and immediately made governor of a province. It was the slam at Mr. Bryan's peace policy that most incensed the President who immediately ordered Secretary Garrison to have a probe made with a view to crucifying the rascals responsible for the program. The whole department is now on the warpath and is after the scalps of the culprits who launched that battleship "Piffle." In the President's eye this piece of monkeyshining constituted a breach of discipline and set a bad example to subordinates in every department. He felt that he had a perfect right to call the hoydens to account. What would pass unnoticed among outsiders must not be permitted inside the official family. It goes without saying that the President has a perfect right to demand discipline among his subordinates and anybody, even if not gifted with Scotch temper, would' call a halt to such unmannerly performances. But we wonder if his ire was not at least partly due to having that sore spot rubbed again his Filipino policy. When outsiders who had never been on the field criticised his program he paid little heed, but to have the whole group of men who have had years of experience in the islands turn their guns on him! that must have hurt.
The Real Cost of Eggs Very few things can possibly exceed the clumsiness of our methods of ascertaining the cost of living and the standards of comparison we use in determining whether prices are low or exorbitant. This is esrec'a'ly true of fools. A food is merely a k:nd of f : cl ar : ;t. comust be determined by the number of h v . - it can produce. Such articles as caHne, 1 tt :-t turnips, celery, and rutabagas are large in bulk, but small in amount of available energy. Other products such as butter, cream, nuts, and some cereals are small in bulk, but contain a high dergree of nutritive material. To determine the cheaper food it is necessary first to determine the unit of nutrition and then to estimate the unit cost of the former list as compared with the latter. Thus it may very well fall out that butter at thirty-five cents a pound is far cheaper than cabbage at four cents a pound. Arguing on this very reasonable and scientific basis certain club ladies of Chicago refused to join the boycott against eggs, averring that they are cheaper as food at forty-five cents a dozen than beef steak is at twenty cents a pound. This aroused the state food commission to action with the result that a chart was prepared showing the relative costs of twenty common foods as compared with eggs at forty-five cents per dozen. Here is the results of their investigation : "With eggs at forty-five cents a dozen a woman can save 20 cents if she substitutes lamb chops, round steak or oatmeal. She will save 40 cents if she buys beans. Six cents worth of rice, potatoes, corn or white bread will furnish the same amount of food value as a dozen eggs." To hear that it is not necessary to bankrupt
one's self on our billion dollar hen in order to!
keep soul and body together, is very cheering news, indeed ; but we are nevertheless still unable to negotiate cream pie with a white filling.

The Y. M. C. A. Returning H ome In 1844 George Williams, a dry-goods merchant of London, called a number of his clerks together in a room above his ware-house and organized the first Y. M. C. A. The kind hearted man felt that he should do something to counteract the unholy influences which surrounded his young men so he set out to organize a club for them which would combine somewhat the features of church and home. So popular did this innovation prove, and so successful, it spread over England and even reached Boston in only seven years. The Y. M. C. A. deserved its immediate and widespread success for it filled a long: felt want. To young chaps working in factories and stores it brought an opportunity for social intercourse, games, gymnasium and educational advantages, and it helped protect them against the erosions of a very unfriendly moral environment. But of late years the Y. M. C. A. has somewhat switched away from its original purpose and suffered from its own too great success. In many cities it has erected buildings so fine and equipped them with an outfit so costly and luxurious, poor boys and working boys have stayed away, the former because its privileges had risen beyond their pocketbook and the latter because they could not feel at home amid such unaccustomed surroundings. It is this which has made such magnificent Associations at the Dayton and South Bend institutions little more than clubs for the well-to-do. The line of automobiles lined up in front of the building almost every evening tells that story. Those who are sincerely apprehensive of the effect this must be having on the noble organization founded by Sir George Williams will therefore welcome the good news of the Richmond Y. M. C. A.'s recent success in attracting and entertaining 1500 local shop-men. It will mean much for the community if it continues to meet the needs of that class especially. It is among the young that our social breaches are opened up.
A Literary Burglar Edward Burts, now in jail awaiting trial for burglarizing the James Carr residence, is reported to be spending his time reading books, 'many of which are literary masterpieces." Those who are surprised that a burglar takes to good books may be reminded that Jack Johnson returned from his Jeffries fight reading German metaphysics and Wm. James' "Pragmatism." And Jack Johnson gave way to infinitely more debasing impulses than those which, animate a burglar. There would almost be no end to a possible list of literary criminals once they were catalogued. Francois Villon was a veritable Paris apache and cut-throat, yet he won an international reputation as a very graceful literateur. Oscar Wilde .wrote his masterpieces while in a penitentiary. Benvenuto Cellini would rush home from
stabbing a man in the back to write a page in his Autobiography, a work classic enough to find a place on Dr. Eliot's five foot shelf. Some of the greatest authors have been among the world's biggest rascals. And many a crook has used a university education to pry open safes or blow, up vaults. What is often overlooked in our present secular and very intellectual schooling is that an educated brain does not make an educated man. If a man is a crook to begin with, the more training he receives, the more dangerous does he become. It is not enough to give a man a steam; engine; he must also be taught to operate it. I

Unlike other stereopticon lanterns, the Kenopticon does not employ glass slides, but, instead, uses pictures which are arranged on a strip of film, and come to you in a little roll one and a half inches long by one inch in diameter, for the strip of fifty pictures. When this is put into the machine, pressing a button instantly changes the pictures on the screen. There is no danger of their being broken, or of their going into the machine wrong edge up; nor can the order of their appearance on the screen be disarranged.
The Kenopticon is packed, for shipment, with ten picture-lectures (five hundred pictures) included. Each set of pictures is accompanied by a printed description or lecture which should be read, or better, repeated from memory as the pictures are shown.
Where both lamps are wanted add 13.00. Where current is not available we furnish an oxy-hydrogen generator (weighing, about fifteen pounds and making as bright a picture as the arc lamp) for 125.00.
