COST OF THE ARMY
I'M TIE PHILIPPINES
s1s7, 7,4s6y4o3 spen. by America to Keep
Soldiers There.

When Major General Leonard Wood
was before the house military commit
tee last session he was asked what the
military occupation Of the Philippines
had cost the United States. 1t was ex-
planned by General Wood that it was
difficult to furnish such a statement,
as the methods OF accounting in the
war department were not based on a
division of this kind.
The Quartermaster general, commis-
sary general. paymaster general. chief
of engineers. chief of ordnance and
chief signal otKi e. OF the army. under
whose bureaus the principal military
expenditures in the Philippine Islands
are made, were directed to furnish a
statement showing the cost of the mill
tary occupation of the islands under
the assumption that IL the army had
not been in the Philippine Islands an
equal number OF troops exclusive of
Philippine scouts) would have been
maintained In the United States. Ii
has been decided that based upon the
figures furnished by these bureau
chiefs the cost of the military occupa-
ton in the Philippine Islands since
Dec. 8, 1898. the date of the signing of
the treaty of Paris, has been $l67 1856.

GOOD CLOTHES A MENACE.
View Expressed by a University oi
Chicago Professor.

"To be conspicuously well dressed on
the street is to constitute yourself a
menace"
This was the declaration of Profes-
sor Allan Hoben of the University or
Chicago before the study class OF the
Chicago Woman's Aid.
"The well dressed person does not
appreciate the harm he is doing" he
continued, land the attempt OF the
merchant to sell is temptation to
steal. A child brought up in the com
munal atmosphere of the home can
hardly be expected to resist"
Speaking of street adornment in the
cities, Professor Hoben said the city
was reversing values by decorating its
boulevards and neglecting the streets
which constitute 'the parlor and play
ground Of the poor"

HAS CLOSED
PENSION ROLL
They Draw Pensions From
the D.A.R.--A Treas
ured Scrap Book

those of the government, and when
woman has demonstrated her eligibil
ity to receive one she is made an hon
orary member of the society, exempt
from dues and taxes of the organiza-
tion and receives a massive gold spoon
ornamented with the ID. A. r. insig-
mia.
There never was a general law un-
der which the widow or daughter of a
Revolutionary soldier could receive a
pension from the government. Any
woman who obtained such aid was en-
abled to do so only by special act of
congress, and there were but three
such acts. The granting of these three
pensions, however. occasioned such a
food of applications from daughters of
Revolutionary and war of 1912 fighters
that word went forth from Washing
ton that no more pensions would be
granted to daughters of any war what
soever.
1t was in 1906 that the National So
ciety of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution inaugurated its system,
and since then the organization has
pensioned nearly 100 women. including
the forty now living.
At Continental Memorial hall, the
national ID. A. r. headquarters at
Washington. there is a treasured scrap
| book made up of letters written in the
faint. fine chirography OF some of the
pensioners. letters that give an insight
into the sturdiness and ruggedness OF
character which have gone into the
making of American history.

close will go down as the dryest
winter of which we have any record.
We have had TO rain to speak of
and one can almost wade Lynch's
river. Even some of the artesian
wells have been diminished in flow.
Another remarkable thing about
this winter is the succession of
heavy frosts that we had in No
vember and December. The old
saving, three white frosts and then
a rain," cut no figure whatever.
Right after each other, we had very
heavy frosts day after day and week
after week.
