AMERICAN AND
ENGLISH TA|LORS

There is no installing the American
when he wears the clothes he brought
with him. He almost always wears a
jacket of the lounge type, which some
how seems cut with the special object
of making him appear to have very
round and uncOmmOnly fat shoulders.
The jacket hangs away at the waist
and this, together with his singular
fOndness for straw hats, which both
in shape and texture suggest the idea
of a carving from a Corncob, gives a
dumpiness to the figure which is still
further accumulated by the clOseness or
the fit in the trouser legs.
The Frenchmen favors fancy vests Of
wonderful elaboration. He wears a
fTock coat with short skirts and is
fond Of a lot of trimming on the collar
and lapel. The coat grips at the waist
like a belt, and the skirts springs out
like an infant crinoline over the bag
giest part Of his very baggy trousers,
which, by the way come in suddenly at
the foot and look not unlike knicker-
bOckers which have been left growing
too long and have reached to the ankle
instead of to the knee. His hat is
usually silk one, but it is fiat brimmed
and of a pyramdal shape, such as is
additionally supposed to have been
once worn by Welsh women and Irish
gentlemen OF the hyrle DAILY and Hard
ress Cregan period. He also wears an
extraordinarily ample black silk tie,
which of itself would be a sufficiently
distinguishing feature
The Germans are more bulky as he
CARDS physique than most of the con-
tinentals, and carry themselves with an
uprightness which suggests military
training. They are broad of shoulder
and dep of chest, and they favor the
moring coat suit which English tailors,
if they are wise, recommend to those Of
their customers who are stoutly made.
The cut of their clothes follows Eng
lish lines; in fact, were it not for the
prevalence of Prussian blue as the do
minant color of the material 1t would
be difficult to say in what respect any
decided marks of distinction could be
found.
The Danes and Swedes are fond of
blue cloth, and in most of their suits tAe
evidence of real good, old-fashioned tai
loring is noticeable. Their garments
appear to be mostly handsewn, and,
though the cutting in most cases is in
different, it is easy to understand
when looking at the garments how it is
that so many of the West End work
shops, especially in the ladies' trades,
employ workmen who learned their
tailoring in Denmark and the adjacent
peninsula.-The London Tailor

THE DEMOCRATS.

At meeting of the Democrats held
at Waverley Hall last night official
notice was received from the Home
Rule executive committee that the pro-
posal for fusion had been turned down
by the Home Rulers by a vote of q to
16. In connection with this announce
ment Chairman Mccarthy stated that
Caypless and Wilcox of the sub-com-
mittee of the Home Rulers with whom
the negotiations had been conducted,
had been faithful to their promises ana
had used a very effort to secure fusion
but that in his opinion it had been de-
feated by Kalauokalani who after
agreeing to it had gone secretly to work
to defeat it. The proposal for fusion
came from the Home Rulers and not
from the democrats. There was gem
eral discussion as to what the party
should now do. There were some who
were in favor of indorsing Wilcox for
delegate, Caypless and Makainai for
senator, and if the Home Rulers today
nominated any candidates for repTesen-
tative whom the Democrats could sup
port, that such should be nominated.
Others were in favor of putting up a
straight party ticket and going to de-
feat if necessary without entangling
alliances.
There was considerable talk in favor
of endorsing Wilcox but quite as Wig
orous opposition to 1t. The whole mat
ter was put over until next Monday
evening.

UNITED STATES
ARMY RATION
FIGHTING MEN BET
TER FED THAN ANY OTHER
AGREED ON RATIONS.

The Connecticut national guard Is
being starved out In camp, we hear.
Too much fat, too much bone and too
little bread in the ration seems to be
the trouble Wellington and Napoleon
believed i'm fat commssaries. The Tor
mer would not move a command until
it was well fed. A United States army
officer, when asked by me what kind
of meal a soldier could make of his ra-
ton, replied. Better than l can get
at home An examination of the COM
ponents of the ration shows this to be
true. For troops in garrison the ra-
ton contains, as standard articles,
fresh beef, flour, beans, potatoes,
prunes, coffee, sugar, vinegar, salt and
pepper and these substitutes articles:
Fresh mutton bacon, canned meat,
dried fish, picked fish, soft bread,
cOrnmeaL peas, rice, hOminy, onions,
canned tomatoes and fresh vegetables,
or, when it is impracticable to supply
these fresh vegetables, desicCated veg
etables. In addition to the ration, COM
pany funds are drawn on to purchase
delcaCies for the subsistence stores.
On the march to Picking the food of
the United States soldier exceeded in
quality, quantity and variety that of
any of the allied forces. The Japanese
had only rice, dried fish and, OCCASION
ally canned meat; the Indian troops
mainly rice. The British white troops
rad a ration similar to the American
in quality and quantity, but not so va
ried or flexible. Hhey used tea instead
of coffee The Russians had little be-
sides one-fOurth of a pound of canned
meat preparation at intervals The
German ration consisted of bread,
fresh or smoked meat, bacon or sau-
sage, canned meat, rice, barley or po-
tatoes, salt, coffee or tea, and sugar.
The French ration included bread,
fresh meat, or timed meat or bacon,
rice and beans, or desiccated vegeta-
bles, or potatoes, condensed soup lard,
salt, sugar wine, rum and brandy.
The United States army ration costs
about 80 cents. The food of our army,
therefore necessitates daily expendi-
ture of nearly $4,000 European ma
tions would adopt our ration were it
not for the cost. Germany maintains
an army of 491 1876 men. If it were sup
piled with the American ration the
Berlin government would have to spend
annually $J3, 900 for food alone. In
time of war; with the entire army of g.
900 called into service, the cost of
food would aggregate the immense to-
tai of 1928, 100000. These figures simply
stagger the German commissariat. To
supply the American ration to the Jap
anese army the Tokyo government
would have to pay out $66041,275 an
nually. Russias army under American
conditions would eat food costing $780,,
$4,000 a year. France would have to
spend $57 100000 on her commissariat,
while Great Britains expenditure
would be SAT O63, 900.

NOTHING LIKE OIL.

"In dealing with man, remember that
spoonful of oil win go farther than
a gallon of vinegar" The same may be
said of children. There is nothing so
good for children as the old-fashioned
castor oil. However much they abhor
it, it is their best medicine for disor-
ders of the bowls. In the most severe
cases of diarrhoea and dysentery, how
ever, Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy should be given af-
ter the oil operates, and a quick cure
is sure to follow. For sale by all deal

POLITICIANS, RUM
AND SOAP WAN TED

A far-seeing journalist of st. Johns,
n. F., projecting his gaze through the
mists to the northward, sees the shadow
of American Imperialism athWart the
midnight sun. The United States, he
opines, is preparing to wrest Greenland
from Denmark by purchase, and the
real object of Perry's explorations is to
spy out the land for the government
against the arrival of the hosts of COM
mercial and military assimilation.
Let us not too lightly jeer ait the fond
soul crying in the fog. To the humble
citizen and taxpayer, perhaps the pros
pective possession of Greenland brings
no thrill of patriotic pride and the icy
mountains thereof seem to him no perch
for a bird bred in the temperate zone.
Yet this country is recognized far and
wide as an inveterate buyer of terri
tory and in the world market the other
nations are spreading their choicest Is
lands on the counter. OF these surely
Greenland is not the least
NOrthward now the star of empire
takes its course The flag is already
planted so far in the West that geo
graphy calls it the East, and soon the
scared white leopard 80 is that remark-
able beast is indigenous to Batfin's Land
and whereabouts, may wind is across
the desert SHOWS.
From all accounts, the island is SUI
fering for development. There are
cryolite mines near Cape Farewell, and
it is well known that no household can
be happy without this interesting min
eral. Inland, coal and iron lie ready
for the pick of the miner, after he has
blasted away half a mile or so of SUI
pervening ice. In the ocean round
about the wary halibut tempts the
fisherman, and the lone levianthan
blows his nose among the echolng
bergs. In the interior are mountains
of ice, needing only transportation to
this latitude to become a commodity
of rare value. Lighted by the SHIN
mering flare of the aurora, the island
needs only steam heat and running wa
ter to make it an ideal place of resi-
dence.
Surely American enterprise will not
allow this fancy isle to remain unex-
plotted by the only nation that can at
tend to the job with neatness and dis
patch The Eskimos do not engage in
politics, do not drink and do not wash.
They need politicians, rum and soap,
and we can supply all as needed Des-
tiny calls us, and we hasten to obey.
There may arise resistance to our
benevolent assimilation, of course.
Even now the Kossuth of the Eskimos
may be ready, unconscious himself of
the fate in store for him. But resist
ance only makes progress the more
sure.
One thing only will be lacking. Ow-
ing to unfavorable weather conditions,
the administration of the water cure to
pernicious natives will not always be
feasible But we may trust to Ameri-
can ingenuity to invent some method
of inspiring confidence and esteem
quite as effective as that, and better
adapted to the climate of Greenland
Phil. North American.

CLOCKS OF THE PAST.
Whey Were Very Different From
Modern Time Telling Machines.


Modern Time Telling Machines.
The word clock, derived from the
French gloche, German glocke, signi-
des bell, and up to the fourteenth
century 1t was only used to designate
Q bell which was struck at certain Pc
esods Of time indicated by the hour
glass. Sundials, or ''gnomons," were
ehe drst instruments used In measur.
ing time, and there Is but little doubt
that the long granite pillars which we
call obelisks were used by the Egyp-
Clans, II not as actual sundial hands,
at least for some astronomical obser.
vatons Of the movement of the sun.
Clepsydras, or water clocks, and sand
clocks come next In order. The flow
OF sand through small oriflce is an
accurate method Of measuring time,
TOR the exit Of the sand is always reg.
