New Homes for Italy.

Uncle Sam has undertaken at the
request of the Italian Government the
Hercuiean task of building within a,
very short time $500 cottages to shell
ter the homeless in the stricken zone
in far-off Italy.
when that narrowing news was
mashed over the wires telling Of the
suffering of the starving and homeless
of our brethren in southern Italy,
Uncle Sam was the first to thrust his
hand into his pocket and extend sub
stantial succOr. Eight hundred thou
sand dollars was what he gave as first
ala to the injured. A great portion of
this large sum is being used to feed
the hungry, but $500, 1000 Of it is to go
towards the building of homes for the
homeless. This work is being carried
OH with the utmost dispatch, for Uncle
Sam is right on the job; he is the
architect, builder and boss carpenter
all in one. Snip after ship is being
loaded with lumber and forces are
hurried on their philanthropic mission,
and soon thousand homes built of
American pine will shelter those of
another cline.
The plans for the construction of
these cottages were quickly arranged
and hundreds of sets are being sent
along with each cargo of supplies, with
the specifications and instructions
printed both in English and Italian,
as it is proposed to have Italian work
men assist i'll the building.
The cottages are to be of the two
room type with ample windows and
doors, and in their construction there
will be but six sizes of lumber used,
viz, the rafters, the studding, the
caps. and the corner posts will be 2x4
inch pieces. the corner posts consist
ing of two such pieces nailed together.
The sills are to be 2x6 inch material,

The Food We Eat.

The food reformers. or at least some
or them. are now waging campaign
in favor of cutting out breakfast
They argue that two meals a day are
enough for people who are not en-
gagged in hard physical labor, and they
suggest that the morning meal is the
one To dispense with There may be
some scientific basis for their conten-
ton, but 1t is hard for the average
individual to discover it at first glance
1t looks as if they We're beginning at
the wrong end of the matter Their
scheme would put all the eating of the
day into six hours and leave the body
for Is hours at a stretch without food
1t Is no doubt true that most peo-
pie eat too much. that is, they eat too
much Of the wrong sort of food and
many of us too much of any kind
ihe matter of our food is really one
of the most important of the many
matters to which We give attention
each day and yet there is no matter
to which most of us give less attention.
Disregarding for the moment the quail
ity of what we eat and returning to
the matter of quantity, it would seem
as If two meals were enough, but that
1t would be better to have one in the
morning and one at night. with a
light lunch in the middle of the day.
AS for the matter of quality. the
scientific men tell us that there are
three basic forms of food which are
essential to proper nutrition and they
should be consumed in certain proper
tons. But the crucial fact is that the
housewife knows as little of this as
of the chemistry of cooking. There are
some persons who require large
arr 'nts of food, but not a great deal

The Future Of the Nearo.

- In the South Atlantic Quarterly for
April there appears an interesting arti-
Gle by Professor Holiday of the South
western Presbyterian University in
which the author summarizes and dis
eusses the answers given by As of the
students under him to the question
What will Become of the American
Negro?" The students. all of whom are
southern young men of good families
and many of whom are studying for
the ministry, were asked to prepare
articles upon this theme and Professor
Holiday Iinds in their answers much
that Is significant of the coming years
in the South.
The views Of the young representa-
tive Southerners reveal the sentiment
Of the Influential and ruling classes of
the South for the next quarter of a
century, the third since the civil war
which esfectnated the emancipation of
the Negroes. No wonder that the rev.
citation gives concern to the better ele
ment" which President Taft and Presi-
dent Elliot report as discovering in
their tours during the last half-year.
No wonder. either that the display of
the feeling Of the educated South in
these youthful OutpourinRs-fo of

views most generally prevailing in their
respective communities and in their
homes and family life, mas caused

Our Kind of Public Official.

Out in the state OF Washington d
great sensation has been made by the
arrest of Ortis Hamilton, formerly ad-
jutant general, who was summary re-
moved from office by Governor Hay,
charged with embezzement from the
state military fund. 1t is said the
shortage will reach fully $4,000 and
most people will wonder what kind of a
system they have in the state of Wash
ington which made this embezZlement
possible General Hamilton seems to
living and now that the discovery of
the frauds has been made everybody is
wondering that it was so long delayed.
So popular was General Hamilton as
an official that there was much
criticism when he was removed from
Office by Governor Hay. but now the
people are wondering how they could
have rcen SO blind.
1t is found, for example, that a single

with more than half million shells, at
cost exceeding $4,000 During the
first year of Hamlton's official career
the cost of target practice amounted
to only $82S. while in 1907 and 9O8 the
ammunition forgeries already dis
covered reach over $4,000. There was
every confidence in Hamilton. and ne
was given free hand. although it was
the duty of the governor, auditor and
adJutant general of the military board
to act together in all matters relating
to the military fund This amazing
faith in Hamilton is further shown by
the fact that he was known last winter
to have overdrawn his account $4,000
but this deficiency in the military fund
was made up by an appropriation, and
no probe applied. 1t is not altogether
unknown for those in places of public
trust and responsibility to go wrong.
but seldom is public official, especially
one to whom the handling OF oublic
funds is only an incident of his Office

Possibilities of Western Mexico.

The soil of the whole country through
which we. were passing was rich and
arabic. and capable of being turned
into veritable paradise. This is on
the line of the proposed extension of
the Southern Pacific Railroad, and
could not but picture to myself the
wonderful transformation that is in
store for it during the next decade,
when American capital, which is sure
to follow the opening of the railway,
takes hold of it. What opportunities
for investment it offers! And now is
the time to strike. Investors who take
hold of this land now, while it can be
had at merely nominal price, will
reap fortunes in colonization later

much sooner-the whistle of the To-

Although co-education has been
abolished at Wesleyan University down

ment is on foot for the establishment
OF women's college in the same Gown.
Since Yale and Trinity both bar wom-

higher education Of women in Con
necticut since Wesleyan has taken it's
action. Certainly there should be such
an institution in suc;l a state, and
whether it be an Independent college

leyan. and yet as independent CT it
as Radcliffe is OF Harvard, it should
