The home in some phase or attri-
butte has been a fruitful theme for
literature through many ages of
civilized life. The most volumnious
as we'll as the most varied treat
ment of the home and its issues has
been at the hand of the poet. This
is due to the fact that domesticity is
closely bound up with our affectional
natures and touches themes of util-
lty fancy, attachment or association
that have become part and parcel
OF our lives and cannot be detached
from them, even through a long
stretch of years. Few writer's
could find topic were it not for
the innocence of children, the i)vs
OF youth, the blush and bloom of
maidenhood, the wisdom and beauty
OF old age, or the myriad other
inspirations of the home.

King Edward opened the
worlds greatest athletic meet at
the Stadium, near London, last
week. Thousands from all over
the world are there to take part
in the different games and con-
tests. The United States sends
three score athletes, a grandson
of Ex-Governor Alcorn of this
state being one of the number,
and among the best runners of
all nations he is considered to
have the best chance to win the
100-yard dash.

Scoldlng is mostly habit. 1t is
often the result of nervousness and
an irritable condition of mind and
body. A person is tired or annoyed
at some trivial cause and forthwith
commences finding fault with every
thing and everybody within reach.
Scolding is a habit very easily
formed. 1t is astonishing how soon
one becomes addicted to it and
confirmed in it. 1t is unreasoning
and unreasonable habit. Persons
who once get into the way of scold-
ing always find something to scold
about. If there is nothing else,
they begin scolding at the mere alb
sence OF anything to scold at. It
IS an extremely disagreeable ha bit
1t IS contagious. Once introduced
into family, it is pretty certain in
a short time to affect all the
members.

What Our BattIeships Have Cost.

Inc acCual cost OF THIS racine
voyage of the battleship fleet has
been very much exaggerated in
popular comment on the under
taking. 1t is true that an i'm
mense working plant" has been
involved. The money expended
to create each of the sixteen
armor-clads is equivalent to the
endowment, the building and the
total academic equipment of an
important university. The ship
of lowest cost in the fleet is the
IL, 500-ton Illinois, which repre-
sents a total expenditure of $4,-
621, 600. Of this So, $4,000 is
the contract price paid to her
builders. the Newport News
Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Com
pany, of Virginia, for hull and
machinery; the remainder is
chargeable to guns, armor, and
general equipment. The ship of
highest cost is Admiral Evans
flagship, the 16, 000-ton Connect
cut. She represents an expendi-
ture of $7,677, 900, or $757, 600
more than her sister ship the
Louisiana, constructed in the
great private shipyard at New
port News. This Newport News
yard produced also six other YES
sells of the fleet, the Illinois,
Kearsarge, Kentucky, Minneso-
ia, Missouri, and Virginia. Three
of the vessels, the New Jersey,
Rhode Island and Vermont, were
launched by the Fore River Ship
building Company, of Quincy,
Mass, in Boston Harbor; two,
the Alabama and the new Maine,
by VIM. Cramp & Sons Ship &
Engine Building Company of
Philadelphia; one, the Kansas,
by the New York Shipbuilding
Company, Of Camden, New
Jersy; one, the Georgia, by the
Bath Iron Works, of Bath,
Maine, and one, the Ohio, by the
Union Iron Works, of San Fran
cisco.
The aggregate cost of the six
teen lbattleships is 500, COG, 900,
or a little less than the total sum
expended on account of the
United States Navy in a single
year. Our entire battleship fleet,
built and building, numbers
Twenty-Five, including the two
monster new ships of the Dread
nought class, but superior to the
Dreadnought in sige and power;
the 20,000-ton Delaware, now
under construction at Newport
News, and her giant sister, the
North Dakota at Fore River.
These sixteen battleships re-
quire for their maintenance a to-
tai expenditure of SO, Alt, 900 a
year, or a little more than $685.
900 every day. The charge for
each ship ranges from $479, 600 a
year for the IL, 5O0-ton Illinois to
$62, 600 a year for the 16, ton
Louisiana. This cost of main
tenance includes as its largest
item the pay of the officers and
crew. Thus, the forty officers
and 800 men of the new Maine
receive in compensation every
year 1923, 900 from the govern
ment. The expenditures of the
Maine on ordnance account, &C
cording to the last returns, are
SGT, 900; on steam engineering,
$50, 600; or repairs to hull, ma
chinery and equipage, $50, 600.
On other ships ofsthe same type
the various factors in the annual
cost of maintenance stand very
much in the same proportion.

pretty we'll indicated in these dis
patches last night Senator Aldrich
does not himself assert that his meas
ure is perfect, but he insists upon it
as reaching the present situation and
emergency.
1t can not be set down now as
reasonably certain that the Aldrich
bill, in principle, will pass at this ses-
sion of the congress. 1t will pass the
senate after some minor amendment.
1t will pass the house of representa-
tives. 1t will be reported from the
committee on banking and currency,
of which Mr.. Fowler is chairman. The
! speaker of the house has once reor-
ganized Mr.. Fowler's committee. He
retained Mr.. Fowler in his place at its
head in spite of strong protests both
in and outside the administration
circle. However, IL Mr.. Fowler insists
upon the Impractical and is not con-
tent to deal with the present emer-
gency and leave to the future the
question of solving all the financial
ills from which the country suffers,
and also leave to some future time the
furnishing Of new and elaborate
system Of currency, he may find his
committee again reorganized, and In
a way that will ins1re prompt action.
While bankers and commercial or
ganizaticns in different parts Of the
country which Mr.. Fowler has ad-
vised take him rather seriously, this
is not the case with the leaders Of the
two houses. Some consider him an
ifealist.

Force of Habit.

A Boston psychologist was recently
reminded Of the story of the Russian
jailer who, changing his occupation
found the chief interest Of his leisure
moments in catching birds, putting
them in cages and selling them to the
highest bidder.
The scientist having to attend Sc
ries of lectures in a large public nall
struck up acquaintance with the janitor
of the building and soon noted in him
a suggestive bent of mind. The man
seemed fond Of counting the people,
and would occasionally report the exact
number present. I'VE have 115 here
tonight" he would say, or Just 2Ol all
told" or, when the hall was crowded.
Il make it 37O.' There was a problem
in all this. but it took some time for the
psychologist to solve it.
A bit of friendly, familiar talk, con-
tinually renewed, did the business, for
it brought out the fact that the janitof
had spent many Of the previous years
of his life as warden in an eastern prls-
on. With rifle on shoulder, from some
enclosing wall, the man had counted
his convicts until the habit became in
grained. In the recesses of his brain
the lecture hall took the shape of a jail
yard and the audience were his prison
ers. He counted because he wished tc
know IL all were there.-Boston Herald

FOWLER CURRENCY BILL.
House Proposition Antithesis of That
Before the Senate.

House Proposition Antithesls OF That
Before the Senate.
On last Thursday, says a Washing
ton dispatch to the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, Representative Fowler,
chairman of the house committee on
bank and currency, prepared and
made public his bill for solving the
financial ills of the country. Briefly
stated, the bill provides for credit cur
rency; for the guaranteeing of depos-
its: for the extension to national banks
of many of the functions now exer-
cised alone by trust companies; to the
placing of all credits upon a gold
basis. or at least to give bank reserves
gold basis; to secure closer rela-
tions between the banks and national
treasury by the selection of assistant
comptrollers of currency, who will be
sworn officers, receive $4,000 year
and reside in districts into which the
banks of given geographical sections
organize.
Mr.. Fowler, in a brief statement
accompanying the bill, makes an at
tack upon the financial measure intro
duced in the senate yesterday by SEN
ator Aldrioh by asserting, in effect,
that the proposal at this time to base
national bank circulation on any
bonds other than government bonds
is as bad as was the proposal in 1895
to depart from the gold standard. He
says a number of other things pointed
and direct, but it is the opinion of
most members of the two houses they
are far in advance of the present
sentiment and information on the fl
namcial question. He pleads for uni
formity Of banking methods and the
creation of a currency which will re-
spond automatically to the needs of
business. This is evidently what he
presumes will be furnished by the cur
rency which his bill contemplates. The
chairman of the house committee also
asks for the elimination of the treasury
department from being a factor in the
business and financial situation.
While it is admitted on every hand
that many of the suggestions made by
Mr. Fowler are wise and should be
followed, and possibly will be at some
future time, there is little prospect of
such legislation as he now puts for
ward being enacted. The past twenty
four hours has seen some criticism
of the Aldrich bill and the discussion
points to it's amendment in some min
or particulars. These particulars were
