COMING OF A SUDDEN GUEST
Not Feared by the Woman Who Can

Possibilities.

The housekeeper who is quick to

fear no sudden guest, however impos-

For instance, that half cup OF boiled

Increased rapidly, until President Taft

For time Mr.. Taft undertook 20 send

President ever showed such a spirit OF
generosity in this respect-but he found
he couldn't keep It up. He would send

Estimates for the Navy.

In view of the meant-to-be alarming

eign aggressor, it is interesting TO CON
slider the plans for economy contained m
the estimates for the needs OF the navy
made by Secretary Meyer His recon-
mendauons as to the abolition of certain
navy yards is sure To come in for lot
OF opposition from Congressman inter
ested. though we believe that the Secre-
tary's reasons will be found convincing
10 all save the politicians. The Secretary
wants to abandon the navy yards at New
Orleans, Pensacola, San Juan, Port Roy
al, New London. Sacketts Harbor, Guile
bra. and Cavite. For the last I'VE years
the cost of maintaining these yards has
been $l,642615 annually. and they have
given practically nothing in return That
We can have no real use for these yards
should be sufficiently demonstrated by
the fact that with them we have twice
as many navy yards as Great Britain,
though our navy is only half as large
The Secretary would even abandon the
navy yard at Mare Island but for the
fact that We have already wasted S14OOO.-
900 on il and il may be made Of some use
yet.
The programme for naval construction
is not an eXtravagant one. 1t recon-
mends two battle ships, two Golfers, one
gunboat one river gunboat. two sea-
going tugs. four submarines, and one sub
marine tender. It is pointed out that to
keep our navy up TO the strength we
deem desirable We shall have to build
more than two battle ships every year,

tary thinks that two viii be enough. The

China in the Iron Trade.

Not only has China within the past

the direction OF moral reforms, as wit
ness the cutting of queues and tho aboli-
ton OF the opium traffic. il has evidently
been making equally as great strides in
the direction Of industrial reforms A
dispatch from China yesterday conveyed
the news that the first cargo Of pig
iron had been shipped thence to the
Pacific Coast to be used in the Western
steel mills.
Chinas iron deposits have long been
known to be valuable and wen worth
working; but recently only the most
primitive methods of extracting the ore
from the earth have been employed. Re

is that now they are taking iron out

The Boy Scout Movement.

Il is great pity that the Boy Scout
movement throughout the country should
be hampered by internal confusion that
threatens a serious check to the whole
plan. The Boy Scouts of America
was founded by Ernest Seton Thomp-
son, backed by President Taft. Col.
Roosevelt. Gen. Leonard Wood, and other
prominent men.
In England, the Boy-Scoufs is a healthy
company that has done. and is doing, a
world of good in teaching lads 20 be
independent. seIf-reliant, helpful. unseh-
ish-content to submit to discipline. In
this country it is said that the American
boy has not taken altogether kindly TO
the movement One who knows the
American boy pretty well declares that
he lacks the seriousness and stability OF
purpose that characterize his British
cousin. and which have done so much to
make the English movement a success.
The American boy is eager and ready TO
Join" any movement, but soon tires of
it. and finds the Boy Scout discipline frk-
some.
If this be true. It illustrates in a way
why the proposition sometimes advanced
for a system Of military conscription in
this country must inevitably fail Such
a system. If it were put in force in this
country. might evoke some enthusiasm
for a time, and our national love for uni
forms and decorations would probably
help it But when # came 20 regular

has been found great stimulus to the

thing. though that sentiment is by no

is to be hoped that the Boy Scout move

work by the confusion that has come
