NINETY-TWO VACANCIES.

There are ninety-two vacancies fin West Point military academy, not be- cause there are not young men enough in the country who would like the free education and large opportunities in life which it opens, but because of the failure of those who have won schol- arships to make good, and the negn- gence of those who have the appoint ment of cadets to fill these positions. The Baltimore Am merican is right, when it says these vacancies ought not to exist, whatever the cause. The course of study, the rigid discipline and the muscle and nerves making physical training a the academy one too valu- able to be overlooked and wasted. The remedy is not hard to find If the vacancies are not filled by those who, under the law, have the power to fill them, let them be filled by other meth ods- There are two methods at hand, both worthy of consideration. The first is the one suggested, the transfer of the appointing power from those who do not exercise it to those who will The second is the resort to com petitive examinations, mental anl physical to be open to all youths, those attaining the highest averages to be awarded scholarships irrespective of existing appointing powers.
 OI the TWO the laIIer IS more uern ocratic and insures, perhaps, a better grade of students. Indeed, there are thousands of parents who are more than anxious that their sons should have an opportunity to receive the thorough instruction, mental and phys icai, and the discipline, which are lack ing in private schools and colleges, and which may be found in their highest perfection in the military and naval academies. Parents are willing to pay for this instruction for their sons
 This inquiry is, therefore, timefy: Why not, if possible, and if consistent with the policies of the war and navy departments. open those academies to ambitious youths who can gain en- trance outside the present appointing powers?
 It would be in better form for such 8 republic as this if open competition vas the form everywhere. This is really what the examina tions amount to throughout New England

SOME NOVEL SALADS.

Calves brains, plainly boiled Tn salt and water. chilled on the ice, cut ir small dice and served on a bed of ten der lettuce with mayonnaise, make 2 delicious hot-weather dish for Sun- day night.
 When there is no olive oil in the house a hot salad may be made of let tuce and bacon. Fry the bacon which must be cut into cubes-a del icate brown, then throw it and the
 grease all over the lettuce adding salt
 and pepper as needed. Use hot vine
 gar.
 Canned pimentos Spanish peppers)
 make a salad as good to eat as it is let it stand 15 minutes for odors to escape, and then turn contents into a collander. running the cold water over the rosy vegetables. Give them chill them thoroughly on the ice. Serve on lettuce dressed with may onnaise or French dressing. If tfya family is small a whole can of the pinentos will not be needed, but what is left over from the salad will keep in the icebox The washing is nee essary to get off the slime of the canning juices.
 Celery roots make a satisfactory salad for those who want to feel that they are really eating something. They must be peeled and boiled until ten der, thoroughly chilled and dressed with French dressing-olive oil, vine gar, salt and peppc-. Of course the lettuce bed makes a pretty finish and adds a note of taste to the salad.
 When the larder runs dry, if there are only some stale white bread in the house and a. bit of garlic or onion, still another salaS is possible. Toast the bread until it is hard all through, one with a cut of onion or clove of garlic. Dress with French dressing g an hour before eating 60 the oil can soak in, and if there are two pieces of Dimento left from the can already mentioned, add them to the dish. This may seem a little messy to look at, but it will taste all right
 A sweet orange salad, which turns out Aan ornamental dish, is made by cutting the fruit in round, thin slices and using rum and sugar for the dressing. banana salad, which should be cut fin lengthwise slices and put on lettuce. would be dressed with sugar and lemon juice. Capers add an excellent note to potato salad and give it a pretty look. while any species of lettuce may have the usual taste inn mensely varied.with raw-egg dressing. Beat the egg, white and yolk togeth-. CT till it runs freely: add three tea spOOnfulS of sugar, salt and pepper to taste, and a tablespoonful or more of cider vinegar. Then let the dish stand until the edges of the lettuce begin to wilt A French gourmand always fades his salad in this way before eating it.
 A California. wrinkle for giving let tuce a more piquant taste is to use a few drops of Worcestershire sauce with French dressing. A mixed salad of 1ettuce, tomatoes, cucumber aSpara- gus tips, onions and celery hearts would be improved with a small cof- feespoonful of Worcestershire sauce. The other condiments would be oil. vinegar and salt.

1.-THE BUSINESS MEMS AssocIA-
 TON.

The Connecticut Business Mems or ganization doesn't regard itself as political organization, and apparently has not yet become conscious of the fact that it is in politics. It doesn't realize what short into politics is like.
 In answering Chairman Comstock's letter the representative of that body says:
 "The State Business Mems associa-
 tion is not a political machine. and is not seeking to carry on political cam paign. but merely a campaign of edu- cation and enlightenment. It does not, and cannot, pledge the votes of its members to any particular party or candidate; but it hopes to be able to inform it's members. and the entire electorate. as to the attitude of parties and of candidates toward this import ant question of state supervision of private corporations holding special and exclusive franchise rights"
 Now, what does the above mean? The association has a political policy which it apparently regards pop uiar policy with the people, and is challenging all proposed candidates to commit themselves to it, and it is proper inference for every prospective candidate addressed to draw, that if | ized opposition which has appointed itself an agent to inform the people who's who among candidates for the purpose of giving one class of candi- dates popularity over another. The in- dications certainly are that the State Business Mems association not only proposes to dictate a policy but to see that it is carried out.
 Every man is in politics as an indi- vidual by virtue of the duties of cit izenship; and, now, a body, this organization is in politics for a pur- pose, and it is really giving notice that it expects it's political acts to amount to something.
 It may be as innocent as the fellow who didn't know where he was go- ing, but he knew that he was on the way" but most perceiving citizens could tell by a glance at him that he wasn't headed for the land of end- less delight; but it will have to excuse others if they recognize it's purpose and apply to it's action the proper la bel.
 By every inference that can be drawn the State Business Mems association is with the party that lines up with it. It offers it's support as something to be politically won, and is in poli- ties clear up to it's neck.

Make tea by putting the leaves in a strainer with proportion of two whole cloves to each cup and pouring the boiling water through the leaves very slowly" says Woman's Home Companion for August. While it is still hot add sugar and lemon to taste Pour again through a piece of cheese cloth to strain. This makes it ex- quisitely clear and of a pretty color When it is sufficiently cool put in re- frigerator until ready to serve. In each glass put crushed ice, two or three sprigs of mint and Maraschino cher r1eS, straw berries or raSpberrieS, as convenient as well as a thin slice of lemon"

Odfn Sitn Enect by Loose Belt.
 One thing which the amateur dress naked sometimes loses sight of is the necessity of having the belt of a one piece gown quite large enough to fit comfortably.
 Straight. lines are still in fashion and to secure them it is necessary to have a nelt quite large, except with unusually slender figures Even with a slender figure a gown is more grace ful if the belt is quite large.
 In many well-nnade costumes the waist line measures a surprisingly large number of inches, although, of course, the effect produced is not that of thick or clumsy figure.
 The final effect of slenderness is obtained. not by too tight a belt, but by the way the belt is shaped and placed on the gown. It should all ways slope upward from the middle of the front, being highest in the back This shape is sometimes so gradual that it is hardly perceptible, and with other gown the rise from front to back will be quite noticeable.
 Besides being placed on the gown so that it rises in this manner the belt is often graduated in width at the sides, often only a. very little, but sufficient to improve the effect on the figure and add to the impression of slenderness.

For the girl of 16 there is no frock more useful than one of foulard and the darker colors can be made up most simply.
 The dark ground with white figures is the more suitable for travelling.
 Voile and foulard are much alike in coloring this season and are made up in precisely the same style, but the lining of the voile makes 1t the more expensive material of the two.
 It may be termed rather the smarter also. for it has not been so popular until this summer.

Flowered muslins are always dain. ty and becoming, and this year are to be found in both the allover designs and in the smalI-fgured patterns with lowered borders.
 These make up most charmingly and are not very expensive, although it must be admitted that the bor- dered ones cost much more.
 The plain muslins are in every shade imaginable, but the light colors are the most fashionable for young girls.
 The accordion -pleated and the gath cred frocks are again fashionable, made up in either muslin or voiie, but the lines must always be straight and the skirts not too wide

Outrigger Club is for.
Curtis Hustace deserves all praise
from the people OF Honolulu for the
splendidly generous manner in which
he placed himself in every breach as
leader or trailer wherever he was
needed. Hustace is the kind of am
ateur that keeps things going.
The evening entertainment also
brought forth a surprise. The Nc
Raes sent their scenery ahead for the
0utrlgger stage but could not them
selves reach Honolulu until the morn
ing after. VIII Adams arranged an
impromptu program, with the assist
ance of the Royals, and II was as
good as any given at the regular the
aters in Honolulu, Notwithstanding
the fact that the talent was almost
entirely local. OF course the Royals
made the big hit and everyone waited
until the auto brought them up from
the Empire; then the big new dance
lanai was vacated in moment for
the ampitheater before the stage
The Melnotte sisters made a big hit
earlier in the evening, as did Miss
Aspinwall and the wonderful little
Centers. Then there was Marco and
Il number of others on Mr.. Adams
list, including Kaai and his nose flute,
so that there was show that even
the McRae's might have been proud
to give, and their stage manager set
the scenery and helped make the per-
Torrance success.
The new lanai over the lagoon, the
permanent electric lighting, large
amount OF rustic furniture. the hau

thing left to carry on the good work
