If Fleet Could Be Pawned.

From the San Francisco Star.
 The $180,000,000 invested in the war ships now in San Francisco harbor would irrigate 6,000,00O acres of arid land, and provide homes for 12O, ,O00 families, giving to each family 50 acres of land. That amount of money would build railroad from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and such a road owned by the people would squeeze every drop of water out of the railroads of the coun- try.
 That amount of money, properly spent, would go far toward relieving the people of the tremendous monop- oly burden now resting on their backs.
 That amount of money would build from SO to 100 great electric power plants for the people, and free them from a monopoly that is now skinning them.
 Instead oA building more warships, isn't it time to call halt? With tens of thousands of our citizens begging for an opportunity to earn living, isn't 1t time to call halt on this wicked waste of money and energy? If we are going more and more into the war ship business, let us be honest and pull dowfl our churches. If we are to glorify war let us quit glorifying the Prince of Peace. Let us quit being hypocrites.

body. Chicago A. A. and J. P. Sullivan, Irish American 4. C.. were drawn in the first. and Melvin Sholpard, Irish-Ameri- caG A. C., and J. P. Htlstead, New York A G., in the second heats, respectively, and in fact there w1i bc two Americans in most of the eight heats of this event to be run.
 Before the arrival of King Edward, the athletes paraded around the grounds. The representatives of the United King dom looked formidable with their array of 513 men. The nearest approach to this number was Frances 219 contestants. Sweden came next with l69 and then Hungary with 154 men. The Americans would have had the next largest army, with 14s. but Trainer Murphy refused to allow all the men to come up for the ceremony, insisting that they remain at their quarters at Brighton until called on for more serious work In all, 21 coun- tries were represented, and among that gathering Turkey was represented with one competitor.
 Games Opened.
 The athletes having taken up positions facing the royal box, the Americans in the center, fianked by the Canadians and the Englishmen, Lord Desborough marched up with the members of the executive committee. and said:
 will your majesty graciously declare the Olympic games opened?''
 In reply the King said: T declare the Olympic games of London open"
 At the completion of this ceremony cheering broke out from all parts of the Stadium After the demonstration had died down, the athletes gave three cheers for his majesty, and then marched past the royal box The men made splen- did appearance, though, unfortunately, the weather prevented all of the com petitors from coming out in athletic cos tunes The Americans were among thos ] who wore street clothes, but even thus attired the size Of the men evoked much favorable comment Ralph Rose of the Olympic club, San Francisco, and Lee j.. Talbott of the Irish-American A. C., and the other giants of the team, towering over majority of those who are to meet
 Only 50 members of the American team were in the parade and this contingent appeared small beside those teams repre- senting the United Kingdom, and some of the continental countries, but never theless their reception was enthusiastic, as large parties of Americans had re- served seats In the stand and when the team passed cheered them and waved the Stars and Stripes.
 The opening day of the games con- cluded with a brilliant civic reception by the lord mayor and mayoress, which was attended by 1000 guests. including Lord Desborough and the majority of the members of the councils and committees of the game, together with large numbers of athletes. The lord mayor, wearing the robes and the chain of office received his guests at the entrance to the Egyptian hall. It was one of the most cosmopoi- tan gatherings ever seen at Mansion house. The athletes evidently came to London unprepared for civic entertain ment; some were in hannes and others in morning attire, while yet others wore the variegated commissions of every day dress. The Germans and Swedes, how ever, were in uniform.

1 human system, which continue to increase as the years go on until the toxic condf- tions cause death. There is a saying that person will live five times the number of years he or she has attained when full ly developed. But there's nothing In that idea With what facts does Professor Metchnil<of back up his theory?
 He found district in the mountains of Bavaria where the number of aged people was very unusual. Some of them lived to be 104 or even 1Q5 years old. In the Bavarian villages it was not excep- tional to find three or four who had lived to be 100.
 He found that the diet of these old people consisted largely of sour milk The same longevity did not exist in neigh boring districts where the milk was not so much used. Dr. Metchnikof formulated this theory:
