LIFE IN SANTIAGO.

They have women conductors on the
electric cars of Santiago, the capital
of Chile. This was made necessary by
a war, which took so many men to
the front and imposed upon women
the work usually done by men. The
custom has been kept up, the women
having proved equally as efficient as
the men had been.
One of the most peculiar customs
seen here is the evening promenade in
the plaza or park, which is attended
by young ladies' and young men and
quite small boys and girls. They do
not mix, but keep quite separate
paths.
Yet even the little girls at seven OF
eight years old are finished coquettes
Their eyes languidly observe every
man and boy on the plaza, and they
take care that each shall receive a due
/, share of their smiles.
, Another curious custom which pre-
walls in Santiago and which is joine'
h. by those fortunate enough to have fin
horses and carriages is the promenade
at the Parque CAUSING, a beautifu

DISCOVERING A NEW CROP.

In Harper's for February, Profess
sOr Robert Kennedy Duncan tells how
the great camphor industry has been
recently revolutionized by a simple
discovery. Heretofore the camphor
had been extracted from the wood of
the tree and it's branches, thereby
destroying the tree. Mr.. Duncan, af-
ter visiting Jamaica, found a new
method by which the tree is pre-
served and an annual crop guaran-
teed.
I'm order to solve these questions
l brought back with me to the Uni
versity of Kansas nearly a ton OF
material, which we worked up to the
last ounce. We extracted the best Of
the camphor and the oil of camphol
from he wood of the trunk, from the
branches, the twigs, the green leaves
,, the dry leaves, and the dead leaves
and we obtained results which afforded
us profound astonishment and grea
joy. We thought We had made
great discovery, and as a matter o
fact we had, though, unfortunatel
y for us, these results had just bee
anticipated by the work of Messrs
Campbell and Eaton in Malay, an

ton at Amani, East Africa. Since

MILITARY HAZING

gether. A solid stick passed under
the knee joints and forcing the fore
arm back prevents them from moving
arm or legs, and they are left there
facing one another in an unnatural
cramped and ridiculous position.
Other forms of hazing are the sto-
mach dance, with or without obsta-
cles; finding the keyho1e, tossing in a
blanket and star gazing. In the sto-
mach dance the cadet is put fiat on
his stomach on table and four tor
mentors take him by the hands and
feet and whirl him around on the ia
BILE. In the case of serious offenses
few hard objects or obstacles" are
scattered over the table, making the
dance" rather painful.
Then comes finding the key hole.
The cadet stands in front of locker
and is blindfolded. He has to feel for
the keyhole with his forefnger. Then
another cadet places his head between
the locker and the finger, opens his
mouth and bites the finger until its
owner bowls.
Star gazing consists in being made
to watch the stars at night through
| coat sleeve held like a telescope b!
two cadets. A third man pours a glass
| of muddy water in at top of the sleeve

synthetic manufacture in Germany
and elsewhere in position that would
be laughable were it not rather pro-
fitable. Both types Of organization pro-
ceeded on the assumption that the
centurIcs-old traditional method of
extraction was the only one. In order
TO continue it, the Japanese felled
only trees fifty years old and ex-
tracted the drug from the wood only,
leaving the leaves out of considera-
ton. In order to carry out this de-
structive work, they ran deadly cleo
trio wires through the forests to keep
out the savages, they laced armed
men with every camp of camphor-
workers, and they paid these workers
ninety cents a day for a native For
mosan and 5000 a day for a Japan
ese. The price of labor in jamaica
is a shilling a day Now, as matter
of fact, in a five-year- old tree the
mass of it's leaves weighs 1859 of
the total bulk of the tree. The pro-
per method, therefore, without de-
struction to the tree, is to regularly
harvest its leaves for their excessively
! large camphor content; costly expedi-
, tions into savage interiors and the
total destruction of mature trees are
, wholly unnecessary"

Germany is, of all countries, the one
in which the science of hazing in mil
itaT7 schols has attained the greatest
development. The army plays in the
fatherlands life a part the importance
of which can hardly be realized by an
untraveled American. Military service
is compulsory, and in time of peace
600. 900 men are kept armed, uni
formed and drilled. To command that
huge contingent $4,000 commissioned
officers are necessary.
This large officer corps has develop
ed customs, ethics, even morality, OF
it's own. These customs and ethics
are initiated at an early age by the
boy who aspires to enjoy the venera-
ton which German officers generally
receive from the populace. Imitation
in a young man usually means exag-
geration, and some of the little mill
tary snobs are, on their first day IT
school, a joy to behold. Very soon
however, the precocious stiffness il
taken out of them.
A harmless though repulsive form
of hazing cadets whose appetite verg-
es on gluttony is called bacon swal-
lowing" The plebes to be victimized
are lined up on the grounds surround
ed by a group of second year men. a
slice of raw bacon is tied to a piece
of string, and the plebe whose nam'
is drawn first is made to swallow tn
unappetizing morsel. When the sick

The announcement that a big
firm of dealers in meat has re-
duced its prices from three to
seven cents a pound interests
thousands of consumers, says
the Spokane Review.
With the announcement is
coupled the significant assertion
that the system of credit and de-
livery is largely responsible for
the high cost of meat.
This assertion is in line with
the claim of Secretary Wilson,
of the department of agriculture,
a year ago, that much of the
high cost of living is due to the
demands of housekeepers for ex-
tensive service. Such things, he
added as marketing by telephone
and having the goods delivered
add not little to the expensive
ness of foods.
The lesson would seem to be
plain. One of the means by
which the cost of living may be
lowered is by cutting out the
credit system, whose bad debts
are paid by cash buyers, and by
doing ones marketing in person.
Another noteworthy pointer
in this direction is that public or
municipal markets, where the
rentals and other operating ex-
penses are low, are affective
competitors and regulators of
Aprivate markets. The Taxan city

CITY ELECTION.

1t is up to the people of Con-
don to say at the next city elect
ion if they want to continue in
the same old rut the city has
been in, in the past, or get out
of the mire by electing a few
good substantial men who will
help pull the city out of debt
and eventually reduce our city
taxes. Condor citizens can no
longer keep their eyes closed
to the conditions that have eX-
listed here in the past. 1t is now
up to them to see that men are
elected who viii give US a sane
and economical business admin
istration. This town will never
amount to much if we, as cit
izens, do not take pride in see
ing our city in a good condition
financially.
We have a bonded indebted
ness of about Sa.o@v'vU and
ma-v-SutsUanding warrants un-
paid, and as we understand it
the revenue being collected now
is not enough to pay the running
expenses. If this is the con-
dition our city is in, what is
going to happen when pay day
comes and the holders of the
bonds come to our good city and
demand payment? Where are
we going to get the money with
which to pay them? 1t is high
time that we give these ques-
tions serious thought and act for
the interests of the taxpayers.
We need a business administra-
tion along new lines, and the
way to get it is to try some
new men with modern business
ideas, who will give our city
some of their time in helping us
pull out from the heavy debt
which is now weighing down on
us with mighty force. We can
doit. They have done it in 9TH
er communities where the good
citizens have felt it to b. their
duty. Condor citizens have
this duty to perform in order to
protect their own interests and
the interests Of the city. Can
We afford to any longer put off
this vital and serious matter?
1t is up to the taxpayers to
answer at the next general
election.
