No Stein Songs for Caesar.
From the Chicago Tribune.

rom the CncaXO lTlDune.
The convivial habits of Caesar and
Plato have not much to do with the
question of how beer should be brewed
but inasmuch as they have been lugged
into the discussion before the board OF
food and drug inspection. and inasmuch
as the two gentlemen are not able to
speak for themselves it may be permits
sible to deny for them that they ever
had an appetite for suds. Caesar may
have sampled a drink of beer when he
went to Britain. but the chances are
that he made wry face and roared loud
ly for a mug of Falernian to get the
taste of the experiment out of his
mouth. The chances are also that as
soon as he found himself nit for speech
he cursed the British brewers quite as
earnestly as have the English tax re-
formers since.
Plato may have carried his investiga-
ton of human affairs to the extent of
trying some of the brew, which the
Greeks had borrowed from the Egyptians.
but he and Julius were ariStocratS of
ine-drinking peoples, and to them beer
was the beverage of barbarians. 1t would
touch their vanity unpleasantly if they
were in position to know that at this
late day they were called beer drinkers.
Caesar might smile, but Plato. being a
philosopher probably would be nettled
and talk of nothing else for week. thus
making nuisance of himself in the
academy. The two estimable aristocrats
have nothing to do with the case anyway.
The question is whether beer properly
made is brewed of matted barley. hops
and water, or whether it may contain
rice, corn and molasses and then be car
donated

The Barefoot Boy.
rom the Detroit News.

From the Detroit News.
The distortion of that pretty story Of
how United States Senator William AL
den Smith rose from barefoot newsbOy
to a senatorship is in the nature Of a
sacrilege. For. no matter whether the
romantic story be based merely upon the
occasion when the senator as a boy sold
papers to earn money to go to the circus,
it's use. nevertheless. adds sentiment to
politics, and shows the rich senator to
portunities that lie in the path of every
American boy. The Grand Rapids SEN
ator started life as a page boy in the
legislature, an advantage that millions
of Michigan boys would have given their
right arms to enjoy.
1t is q splendid compliment to the
newsboys who daily ply their little mer-
chandiSing trade that SO many pOliti-
clans rise to eminence with the proud
boast on their lips that they once were
newsies. Indeed, many statesmen, sons
of well-to-do parents, boast of this eX-
traction on the strength of having sold
a few newspapers after school to supple
ment their 81 a week of spending money
But the man who really comes up from
the bottom is he who, so far from hav-
ing been raised in the luxury OF a page
ship in the senate, wore his young hands
and back in toll remote from books or
rewards, and who never saw d daily
newspaper until he was fifteen or
eighteen, and knew not the ways nor the
printed records of man.

NEW ENGLAND DECADENT?
Comment Frequently Made by Sum
mer Boarders in the East.

EGHh Inc SprlDgneM IIeDublfcaH
The old familiar question of the deca
dence of New England is sure to be dis
cussed at this season of the year. The
subject seems to come in with the sum-
mer residents and boarders, who have
homes elsewhere and some of whom like
to subject this section of the land to
searching observation and criticism. They
write letters occasionally to the papers
and thus we get the benefit of their
views. Books also are written, or prob
ably are being written. on this theme. II
Yankeeand is worth this attention it is
impossible to conceal a sensation Of pride.
What people really mean, of course, by
New England's "decadence' is that New
England has greatly changed in the past
generation. = And changed it has. There
are probably few of our grandmothers
now alive who never rode on a railroad
train, although many nice elderly ladies
could be found in the rural districts as
late as 1850 who had never enjoyed the
thrilling experience. We remember one
who refused to risk her life in that fash
ion not so very long ago. Bless her! she
was of the good old New England stock
whose passing is now so much deplored.
She lived eighty-five years and never
Travelled thirty miles away from the place
where she was born. New England has
certainly changed, now that her type is
no more.
But it is upon the gradual disappear
ance Of the old Yankee families that some
of the critics of New England place the
chief stress. Grandmother had ten chill
dren. Her sons and daughters when mar
ried averaged four or five children. Her
grandsons and granddaughter averaged
two. Her Sreat-grandchildren promise to
have none. There is something in this
gentle accusation, but it simply means
that New England is changing rather
than declining. Many of the sons and
daughters of New England two genera
tions ago went to the western wilderness
and developed it into the mighty group of
commemorative that we see on the map
today. The others who stayed at home
left the old hillside farms for the growing
New England towns and cities, where
large families were not so much needed
as in the rural homes of their ancestors
The town dwellers became rich in trade
and manufacturing. and there was al
ready q never-faling stream of foreign
immigrants to do the crude and heavy
work of industrial development Conse-
quently the economic demand for large
native families fell off and Yankee wives
became better mothers by not being

The Billboards Are Going.
From the Chicago Post.


There should he rejoicing in these parts
over the sweeping decision of the supreme
court of Missouri to the effect that cities
may not only regulate the size and con-
ditions Of billboards, but may even legis-
late them out of existence altogether
This form of advertising, says the court
specifically. may not only be regulated
and controlled, but may be entirely sup
pressed for the public good under the
police power of the state" Obviously the
chief Importance of this decision is that
1t brings the subject of bllboards well
within the police power of the state. In
cidentally it establishes the constitution
ality of the regulatory ordinance which
St Louis passed some six years ago.
Since the court has indicated so clearly
its willingness to consider total abolition
of billboards, it is proba BILE that we shall
hear further from Missouri on that mat
ter. Three or four more decisions of that
sort will have the bil!bcards on the run.
Another matter of interest in this con-
nection is the signing of the Ormrod bill
by Gov. Dix of New York. This au-
thorlZes any enc to remove destroy

SWAPPING FLYING MACHINES.
Luck the Amateur Photographer Is
Likely to Have With Pictures.

FROM the New 10rk sun.
At the various flying fields around New
York there are always interested spec
tators. and among them there are always
people with cameras, some of these pic
ture takers professionals there on bust
ness. more of them amateurs with little
snapshot cameras
The snapshotters find enjoyment in TAX
ing the pictures. even though in the final
results obtained there may he little
disappointment. A flying machine is
large object. but in the distance it grows
rapidly small. 1t may be astonishing to
the amateur photographer to note how
small, indeed. it may have become when
he sees it finally after long and careful
search for it in the air. coming as he
looks for it there, into the field of the
finder Looked at in the air with the
eye ii had seemed big, but in the finder
it looks very small. But he snaps it
for all that-he wants to take some pic
lures Of flying machines.
And then when he comes to develop
them he finds, when they come out, there
they are. all right, but he finds in the
picture whole lot, a great lot. a wide
expanse of sky and field, and only very
little flying machine. The picture of
that is likely to be little more than a
speck, and it may be but a blurred speck
at that A flying machine going at forty
or fifty miles an hour is. even at dis
tance. going little too fast for his slow
little camera. By good fortune he may
get a picture a little better, and of
course that pleases him: and here per-
haps is another, pretty good. that he
happened to snap in a favorable position;
and then by chance he may have got one
flying overhead. one better still, that ne
likes best of all
And so the amateur photographer with
the little snapshot camera keeps on TAX
ing pictures of flying machines. His cam
era may not be adapted to this use; and
the flying machines he takes may come
out but specks, but they are pictures of
flying machines and pictures that lie took
himself, and they interest him greatly:
and so he keeps right along ioyfully
using up films taking pictures of flying
machines

The Service of Birds.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal.

From the Louisville Courier-JOurnal-
Among the creatures that render serv-
ice to mankind the birds occupy a fore
most place. 1t is their function to sup
press the insects that play havoc with the
farmers hard-earned crops.
Fifty-three per cent Of the food of
birds in one locality was found to con-
sist of the larvae of the disease dissem-
mating mosquitoes. Horsef1ies are the
burden not only of horses but of other
valuable stock. and the larvae of this
fly are the natural food of several species
of birds. The fever tick. SO injurious to
cattle, is the natural food of the kill
deer and the plover. Corn, cotton and
other crops are destroyed to a large eX-
tent by grasshoppers, and there are at
least twenty-three species of birds that
feed upon grasshoppers. Grass lands and
grain crops in general suffer greatly from
various insect pests, which are destroyed
in vast multitudes by birds. The great
ly dreaded boil weevil is food for the
plover. the killdeer and others of the
feathered tribe.
It Is a common experience to see birds
following the pillow and consuming grubs
that are destructive to garden and other
valuable plants. These friends of the
planter should in every state be pro-
tected by rigid legislation.

Grooming the Motor Car.
From Harper's Weekly.


Although on all modern cars the lubri-
cation Of the motor Is entirely automatic,
the duty of the operator merely being to
supply sufficient quantity of lubricant.
there are always a certain number of
given a half-turn every day. These are
to be found on the steering gear, the
spring-bolts and sometimes on the water
pump. 1t should aforementioned that SO
long as grease is kept in, dust is kept out.
From time to time it is advisable to lu-
bricate the leaves of the car-springs. 1t
is a point which is generally neglected,
yet if attended to twice a year, say at
the beginning and at the end of the sea-
son, this will wonderfully improve the
easy riding qualities of the car The in
dividual leaves of the springs are finely
polished and carefully fabricated before
being assembled. but after certain
water gets in. allowing rust to form. and
instead of the blades rubbing freely on
one another they become almost a solid
block. In order to apply the lubricant it
is necessary to remove the clips holding
the leaves together, and remove all
weight from the springs by lacking up
the chassis. The best position for the
the car, but in all cases it will be found
too low unless backed UP with blocks of
wood. and it should always be placed so
that there is no danger Of its slipping
away. When all the weight has been
taken off the springs the leaves Will gem
orally open freely. but If they should
prove obstinate a little persuasion with
the end of a screw driver will separate
them sufficiently to allow grease to be
inserted on the blade of knife. The
best lubricant is a good quality of
graphite grease.
