The Dinner Table.

The dinner table is one of those elementary, those aboriginal institutions which stands at the center of the world. It is one of the three or four bases on which human society has crystalized. We hazard the guess that if an absolutely complete analysis could be made of human ailments and pessimism much of it could be traced directly to the table. A poor cook is liable to ruin a man's reputation. On. the other hand, much of the joy and beauty in the world would be found also to emanate from that popular center. What a man eats today will be walking about and thinking tomorrow. Emerson somewhere says that a real man can live well on old boots and dried irrass. if need be. We do not believe

this possible, though the leathery countenances of one or two friends causes us sometimes to suspect such a diet. It is impossible to build bad material into the human system and not have it crop out in weakness or abnormality. A man may eat in secret, but his features will somehow publish his bill of fare. He may indulge a private gluttony, but the world will find it outin due time. Too many housewives look upon cooking as a hateful interruption of other more important and agreeable tasks. If there is anything more important in the whole gamut of housely duties, we are at a loss to name it. If a housewife finds it hateful she reveals a pathetic lack of insight into life and is out of joint with the universe. A good meal is a work of art. It is a masterpiece of which Michelangelo might be proud. It is i symphony wrought out in beefsteak and potatoes. It is a kind of music that makes itself felt lather than heard. It puts one in tune with the . Infinite. That Russian master physician, Professor Pawlow, discovered that the mere sight of a tastefully prepared meal sets up the process of digestion and starts the appetite juice to flowing. But when the coffee is riled, and the potatoes fall from the fork "kerchunk," and the bread is tough, and the debris of kitchen labor is scattered about the table, one's eyes are insulted and the appetite juice refuses to flow. An unin

viting meal, minus appetite juice, equals dys

pepsia.

Many cooks spoil an otherwise good meal through lack of appreciation of the aesthetic

side of eating. One's eyes must be fed as well as his stomach. A meal is even more than a work of art, it is a religious sacrament. The life within us needs constantly to recoup itself from the Life without us. The inward man must be daily renewed. And it is one of the strange things in this universe so full of strange things that the Power that made it all ordained that it should be through the instrumentality of vegetables and cereals and meats that His life should flow into and mingle with our lives. Eating is a sacrament of communion. Little wonder the race has everywhere instinctively thought of the meal as a religious act and said grace over it. Who is the best cook? The one that feeds our eyes and makes us want to say grace over our meals.

The Moon

A new observatory is now being completed on top of Mt. Wilson as a result of the kindness of Mr. Carnegie. The giant telescope being installed will use a reflector three-fifths larger than the glass in use at the famous Yerkes observatory, Williams Bay, Wisconsin. This great new lens will be of such power that it will bring the moon to an apparent distance of only twentynine miles. Have you ever seen the moon? Of course a child can look at it these brilliant winter nights, as she swings out across the eastern heavens, but have you ever really seen her, seen her as she is known to the astronomer? If you have you will no longer think of her as Shelley did as "That orbed maiden, With white fire laden, Whom mortals call the moon," but will rather shrink back with Carlyle, crying, "O that is awful. I cannot endure it!" Few spectacles are more sublimely terrible than the full moon when one looks at it with his understanding as well as his eyes. In size she is a diminutive creature compared with the earth. From pole to pole this planet measures in diameter about 8,000 miles while the moon measures but 2,157 miles. In bulk the earth is forty-five times as great as the moon and, because of he greater density, eighty times

as heavy. Her area is about fifteen million square miles which is only one-thirteenth of the earth's surface. . As astronomic distance goes the moon is in .the earth's suburbs; she is a mere 238,000 miles away.. When we recall that the nearest star is so remote that its light, traveling 186,000 miles a second, has been so long crossing the dizzy gulf that separates us that the ray which strikes our

eye tonight left it four years ago, we can understand that the space between us and our satellite s but a step as such things go. It takes light about eight minutes to reach us from the sun, but a ray can make the trip from the moon in lees than two seconds. Edward Payson Weston has walked farther than the distance. A telegraph message would reach a lunar receiving station in one and one-half seconds. An express train whizzing up at the rate of sixty miles an hour would arrive on the moon in 165 days. Strange to say the moon occupies about the same time in rotating on its own axis as in revolving about-the earth, a little over 27 days. It is because of this that we always see the same side of it. As the moon is smaller in bulk and less in

density than the earth it does not exert the same pull of gravitation. Thus, if a man chances to tip the beams at 200 here, he would weigh but cne-sixth, or 33 1-3 pounds there. And he could jump six times as far or as high. ' The earth is surrounded, we may say buried, in an ocean of atmosphere in which myriads of dust particles are floating. This breaks up and diffuses and scatters about in all directions both the heat and the light of the sun. Owing to this, one has plenty of light even when out of the

reach of the sun's rays during the day. But on the moon there seems to be no atmosphere. Light beams stream in straight arrows toward its surface; in their path one would be very hot; behind a wall he would freeze. It is because of this that the great telescope now beinir erected on Mt. Wilson will make it

possible to see the surface of the moon as plainly as a man in a balloon can now see the mountains beneath him. It is when one looks upon that surface that he shrinks back in awe as Carlyle did.

The moon is a dead world. Its surface is cut

and broken by huge volcanic peaks and by abysms that sink into its midst thousands of feet. The largest crater on the earth is Aso San of Japan which measures seven miles across; this could be dropped out of sight into the moon's great "Theophilus" which is 64 miles across and 18,000 feet deep. Its depths are in eternal darkness. Wherever one looks across that bleak and lifeless world he sees nothing but evidences of incalculable volcanic action, peaks

jutting out int6 space to breathless altitudes, chasms sinking into its depths immeasurably, and everywhere unbroken loneliness. Merely to contemplate the theatre of the action of such titanric forces as have wrought that flying globe

into its present shape is to feel one's self shrink into comparative nothingness. The Resident Stock Company "The more I know of the Sayles Players the better I like them," said a local business man recently; "every man on the troupe is a gentleman and every woman is a lady. I wish they would stay here for good." The friendly feeling toward this company which has been developed in Richmond substantiates the idea of many of our most advanced theatre promoters that it is best for the stage and best for the community to have the players live in a town. The resident stock company

grows more popular. A one night troupe with only one play in its repertoire draws a bow at a venture when it plays in a city. Maybe its bill will make a hit and maybe not. Howard Hall said that "Damaged Goods" was as much a misfit in some places as a two hundred pound man's overcoat is on a six year old boy. But when a company remains in a town long enough to get acquainted, there is not this danger of missing the mark with the wrong play. More than this, the players can win the respect and friendship of their hearers. The best friends of the playhouse are obliged to acknowledge that thespians are not always up to grade in their private morals. Their nomadic habit of life and the conditions under which they are compelled to do their work are not conducive to ethical scrupulousness. This moral delinquency, of which enemies of the theater make so much, is not due to the fact that the playhouse is intrinsically bad, but to the

detached and uprooted life which the wandering player must perforce live. When players can settle down in a city like nfVlQVQ 4 Vi niT inn Vx-. - - 1 1 I'll 1 it

Chief Goodwin Details Patrol Driver on Every Fire.

Inauguration of an "honor system" among Day Dodgers at Earlham col

lege was perfected yesterday. Col

lege authorities have been dissatis

fied with the conduct of Day Dodgers during class hours, and many com. plaints have been made of their disturbances. The room set apart for the day students is In Lindlay Hall, where the classes are held. According to the plan proposed by the Day Dodgers themselves, a committee of three from the two upper classes will be appointed each month to see that the room is kept In order, and that no disturbance will be noted by the professors and their classes. It was said today by the college authorities that if the Day Dodgers found a satisfactory method of discipling members while In the room, the college would assist the students in equipping the romm with better furniture.

. Police Chief Goodwin has detailed an officer to answer all fire alarms with the fire department. The patrolman is expected to keep persons from getting in the way of the firemen and from entering the burning bouses and taking articles of value. For a number of years it has been the custom for the two patrolmen on the beats nearest the fire to respond. Under the new plan Patroldriver Wenger goes to the

complaints that persons enter Durning houses, who have no business there, has led to this action.

STREET STORIES

Sol Frankel got more than he bargained for when he advertised to refund carfare to customers who would buy a certain amount of merchandise: Harry Seefloth, a friend of Frankel,. wrote from Los Angeles that he would accept the offer and come to Richmond to purchase a $15 overcoat if Mr. Frankel would give him car fare.

The decision of the Earlham Athletic association to change the color of the athletic uniform from yellow and white to maroon and white is popular with the Earlham fellows but meets with opposition from the coeds who dislike to see the historic yellow and white cast into discard. Considerable interest has also been manifested by the alumni, who have already sent many letters, some in favor, some opposed to the change. Maroon and white were chosen as the new combination by an almost unanimous vote of the men of the college. These colors were recommended by the committee appointed for the investigation of the matter, which was composed of Coach Reagan, Harvey Cox and Paul Wolf.

The first 1914 baby born in Lorraine, O., will receive from merchants of the town gifts including a theatre pass for life and corsets or barber service for life, as the case may be.

hearer to be mutually acquainted.

Best of all, the resident stock company finds its art put to a severer test. Playing the same part over and over night after night, year in and year out, almost anybody can finally develop some proficiency, or, at any rate facility. But when a person must learn a new part every week and play before the same crowd all the time and when he has established a certain high standard for himself by one or two successful performances he is constantly put to it to do his best.

The Perfect Tobacco for Pipe and Cigarette

It's worth your while to try Tuxedo. Especially if a sensitive tongue prevents pipe smoking. Tuxedo positively cannot bite not even if you smoke pipeful after pipeful, as many as you can crowd into a day or a week. Tuxedo is made of only the finest, choicest, selected leaves of perfectly aged Burley tobacco. It is made by the original "Tuxedo

Process which removes every trace of bite and sting and develops all the wonderful mildness, fragrance and flavor of the Burley Leaf in a way that no other brand of tobacco has ever successfully imitated.
