THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
Secretary Taft's letter shows that
OF the s2,5OO.000 appropriated for the
relief OF San Francisco 81, ,405, 1888 has
been expended or contracts have been
made which will consume this sum.
The expenditures are divided among
various departments as follows: Quar-
termaster's department, s1,741 ,6e4; sub
sistence department, 1929, ,435; medical
department s3o4,5Ss; signal corps. $15.-
600; for mileage, S14.6s5.
Estimates are given Of the cost Of
returning troops from San Francisco
10 the stations where they are on
duty, and the letter also gives trans
portation charges on all supplies and
estimates for replacing supplies taken
from army posts for use IN San Fran
cisco.
Secretary Tafts letter concludes
with the following recommendations:
General Greedy has requested that
S2O0, 900 IN the hands Of the chief quar-
termaster and chief commissary at
San Francisco be expended for the
purchase OF further supplies. I have
authorized this expenditure on the
statement by General Greely that Of
the Quartermaster's supplies already
sent 70 san Francisco more than $780,
600 win not be used. but may be re-
turned TO the general stores of the
army. II is quite probable, however,
from General Greely's statements. that
g larger sum VIII be needed I'm San
Francisco for the purpose Of contin1-
ing the purchase Of supplies, and
therefore recommend that Congress be
applied to to make an additional ap-
propriation, for the same purposes as
already expressed in the previous
resolutions, of 100000
I am advised that under General
Funston and under General Greely
money has been expended for the en-
1loyment OF labor necessary IN the
distribution Of supplies and In put
ting the tents and other shelter into
condition for use in sanitation Of the
concentrated camps of the sufferers. 1
therefore ask that the resolution shall
suthorize payment for these services" !"

The fact that many photographers
are photographing fre-charred ruins

the fire. and to counteract this effect

Treasure Hunters
Americans summerng at Glasgow Devng For Old Spanish
Coin In Sea.

For the third time during recent
years attempts are being made to re-
cover from the depths of the sea treas
ure which went to the bottom more
than three centuries since, in the Span
ish gallon, Admiral of Florence,
wrecked off Tobermory, in the Isle of
Null. Many previous efforts to bring
to the surafce the long-lost wealth in
the treasure ship of the Armada have
been recorded. Captain Burns of the
who is in charge Of the operations for
the Glasgow merchants who have
again embarked in the enterprise,
would, it is said, be we'll content If be
obtained possession of the silver plate,
the sacramental vessels, and the silver
crucifixes, which were on board the
flagship of Admiral Gaspard de Suza,
together with the jewels and golden
crown, set with the choicest pearls.
AS for the bullion buried In the mud,
there is Spanish documentary evidence
to prove that it amounted to millions.
The assumption is that it still lies be-
meath the sand, the rightful property
of the syndicate to whom the Duke of
Argyll has delegated his ancient right,
conferred by the royal charter Of 1641.
1t is stated that in 1861 Swede
brought up heavy iron cannon. but his
appliances were limited. In l740 the
ninth earl of Argyll renewed the
search and found large bronze nluz-
zle-loading gun. which is now at In
veraary. Long years passed, and the
present series of explorations beneath
the surface made by divers working

continued this summer. have this DIS

are utilized to their utmost. The task
set is to discover the ship, and the rest
will be comparatively easy.
1t is some months since the eagerly

a reproach to people who boast of
their loyalty to an Immortal men,

may excuse their reluctance to con-

the ancient structure should be rebuilt

LEARNING BUSINESS.
> How Young Men and Women Are
, Prepared for Commercial Life.

. . . o 8 . . = . q 8 8 8 . o o 8 . 8
Business men nowadays have little
time to train young persons entering
their Offices in the fundamental princi-
pies of business. They cannot tolerate
a typewriter who has to learn to use
the machine after being engaged, nor
stenographer who has not yet learn
ed the pothooks Changing times have
left behind the business Office that was
also a school for the employees, and
have brought into existence the bust
ness schools scattered at frequent in
tervals all over the country. In no
city are they SO many as in New York,
where there are several that have
national reputation. Scarcely any two
of them are alike. No two managers
appear to have quite the same ideas
when working out the details of what
they consider a business education.
Some of the schools teach typewriting,
stenOgraphy and bookkeeping with
simple arithmetic and penmanship. A
few may add some foreign language
or drill in writing English to the
course. Other schools, more preten-
tious. teach everything there is con-
nected with modern business office.
Some of them, indeed. branch far out
from ordinary Office work to teach
broader financial and commercial les
sons. These schools aim to be dupli-
cate of bankers Office or of COM
mercial house. There are even schools
which aim to repeat in miniature the
routine of stock brokers' office.
These schools give most of their at
tention to the methods of trading on
the stock market. A visit to one OF
these institutions while they are in
session is like visit to the pit" All
the machinery of business on Change
seems to be in operation, and fortunes
In stage money are being made and
unmade with realistic quickness.
On the other hand, the schools that
have the greatest following are those
that aim to train young men and wo-
men who desire to become proficient
typewriters and stenographers. able
shop assistants and clerks These
schools get most Of their pupils from
the graduates of the public schools.
They find their pupils, sad to state,
woefully deficient as a rule. in spelling,
ly the dimmest idea of punctuation.
They have to take these and teach
them to write. to spell. to punct-
uate and to add column of three
or four figures correctly. After this
comes instruction in bookkeeping. in
typewriting and stenography. Some
business schools stop there. while 9TH
ers teach the future beusiness man or
woman how to keep card index how
to audit accounts. the way to write
advertisements, some foreign Ian
guage, or give special instruction
along some particular line desired by
the pupil.

OF Interest to Women
When did that cry commence?
When will IL cease?

Wucu Will II cease:
The person who tumbles across a
novelty in the food line is hailed with
shouts of acclaim. There is as much
glory in adding to the worlds food
supply, as there is in discovering
new star.
1t is stated that bureau Of the
United States department of agricult-
ure spends about $4,000 a year search
ing for new food plants. Every quar-
ter of the globe is made to contribute
several valuable food plants having
been found which promise to revo-
lutionize certain branches of food
producing.
South America is most prolific in
what may be termed home products.
The potato came originally from Col
umbia and Peru. Its first cousin, the
tomato, is also Peruvian, and is
more extensively used in the United
States than in other countries. 1t is
estimated that almost three hundred
thousand acres were grown in this
country alone last year.
South America also gave us Lima
beans, Peru being again responsible.
They are grown extensively in Cali
fornia and the eastern states, having
been brought here in 1920.
Another enormous favOrite, aspara-
gus, comes from southern Europe and
northern Africa, via England. The old
Romans thoroughly appreciated this
delicious vegetable and cultivated 1t
extensively to tickle their exquisite
palates.
Rhubarb comes from Central Asia.
but nothing is know there of the joys
of rhubarb pic or the appetizing
stewed preparation so dear to our
hearts.
Citron comes from Corsica, but a
finer grade is being produced in our
own California, which bids fair to gust
the foreign product.
No formal meal is complete without
dish celery, Americans couldn't
get along without this garnish. But in
southern Europe, it's native cline,
celery is used very little and. indeed.
would scarcely be recognized as the
same plant. 1t has be wonderfully
changed by careful cultivation. There
are several varietie sof wild celery,
indigenous to America. which. with at
tention, might be transformed into
valuable additions to our menu.
Rice. we all know, came originally
from Madagascar, being brought her
about 1895. But the best varieties
were those imported from apan in
1899. now grown almost entirely in
Texas and Louisiana.
The durum wheat. used in southern
Europe and Russia for bread by the
poorer classes. is considered a re-
marflabye find. 1t is excellent for the
manufacture of macaroni. containing
more gluten, and is excellent for grow
ing in dry lands, where other kinds
do poorly.
The list might be continued indefin-
itely. Additions are made slowly. but
each new product is cause for great
rejoicing. There is always room for
something more.
