riadom have had all sorts Of parties planned
with especial reference to their well-known pro-
pensities. The White House furnishes an apt
criterion as to the revolution in sentiment that
mas taken place. Prior to the Roosevelt admin
1strat1on there had been in many years only
few periods when there were present in the ex-
ecutive mansion children of age to influence the
social program. Indeed the children of the Grant
and Hayes families about the only young
sters to liven up the old mansion since the days
of the Civil war.
With the arrival of Theodore Roosevelt accom-
panied by his half dozen strenuous children,
however, tme-honored traditions had shake
up in favor Of the fads of young hearts and young
heads, and this policy has been pursued during
the Taft regime, although the present chief mag
istrate has a brood only half as numerous as
that of his predecessor. noticeable exemp
hcation of the revision that has taken place in
the social calendar is found in the prominent
place that young peoples dances have occupied
OF late years on the winter entertainment pro-
gram at the White House. And in summer the
tourist may juvenile baseball games in prog
in the presidents back yard to say nothing
of the comings and goings of youthful riders on
horse bicycle; roller skating the asphalt
about the mansion; and mild ''joy riding in
natty electric phaeton.
What has been true of the White House has
been true in equal degree of the cabinet
homes. 1t is safe to say that the homes of the
members Of the presidents official family have
during the past ten years sheltered more young
people in their teens Cor just out of them) than
in any other similar interval in the entire history
Of the country. And today there is liberal
representation of this junior element in the cab
met community. Secretary of State Knox may
be said to have but recently graduated from the
class of dependant fathers" when his youngest
eloped with pretty Rhode Island girl, al
though the youthful looking premier has been
grandfather for several years past. Secretary
Nagel of the department of commerce and labor
has several children including very attractive
daughter, and Secretary of the Navy Meyer has
two daughters who always dress exactly alike
after the fashion of twins. There are also young
people in the family Of Secretary of the Interior
Ballinger.

HIGH WATER TOWER
Encased in the Worlds Largest
Corinthian Column.
Ancient Triumph of Architecture
Which for Forty Years Has
Evoked the Admiration of
Visitors to St. Louis.

st. Louis.-The old water tower,
the first and original, has gone out
OF service. It's usefulness as we'll as
need in the magnificent water system
OF st. Louis is a thing of the very
recent past. In the ancient water
tower the city of St. Louis possesses
the finest and tallest Corinthian col
umn in the world.
There are not 100 persons in ST.
Louis, even those who have knowl-
edge of the finer and artistic ele-
ments-those that mark for grandeur
and perfection in symmetry-who
ever realized the value of the tower
as work of utility and beauty. Few,
indeed, are aware that the western
metropolis, for a period Of nearly
forty years, possessed a triumph in
architecture which has again and
again evoked the admiration Of Wis
1tors from Europe and other parts of
our own country
Some forty years ago, when the
WaterWorks system was limited and
In its incipiency, it was deemed i'm
perat1ve that a means of relief for
the service pumps and the class Of
engines in use be established.
About that time Joseph P. Kirk
wood, noted eastern engineer, be-
came the chief engineer of the St.
Louis Waterworks. Mr.. Kirkwood was
an expert in waterworks mechanism
and engineering. He went to Europe
IN that period to make a study of the
best waterworks systems in the big
capitals, and came back with much
information as to high standpipes.
It was along in 1868 that the water
board decided to erect a high stand
pipe at Grand avenue. At first it
was planned to hold the pipe in place
by means of guy ropes, but Mr..
Barnett, the architect of the depart
ment, suggested inclosing the pipe in
column of brick. The idea was
adopted by the engineers and the
commissioners.
The work Of building the pipe and
the Corinthian column was by con-
tract. It was started in the fall of
1869 and completed in July, 1871,
when the first gallon of water was
pumped into the big standpipe The
height of the pipe from the ground
to the top of the tower-the bottom
Of the capitol, where the observation
platform isis 164 feet. The column

children of an age that entitled them
to be classed as young people in the
households Of Uncle Sans best-paid
servants. If there were junior mem
bers of such households, they were
for the most part grandchildren or
cousins or nephews and nieces. The
result Of this state of affairs was that
the juveniles, neither collectively nor
individually, were much of a factor
in the social activities of officialdom,
and very few Of the entertainments
in this sphere were planned espe-
cially for the benefit Of the younger
contingent Of the community.
But, as has been said, the past half
score of years has seen gradual
change Of conditions that has made
the juveniles and the unmarried
young men and young women an ele-
ment to be reckoned with. The ex-
PLANTATION Of the new state Of affairs
Is to be found, of course, in the cap
ture by younger men of large
proportion Of the most exalted posi-
tions in the executive, legislative and
judicial branches Of the government.
No longer need public man be a
grandfather ere he is deemed to have
arrived at the years Of discretion nee
essary to warrant the nation in en-
trusting it's most momentous affairs
to him. Something Of this same
leaning in favor of younger men has
even been manifested on the part Of
many Of the leading foreign govern
ments that send ENJOYS to act as ac-
credited resident representatives at
Washington.
The natural sequel Of this invasion.
Of young blood in our governing cir
cles Is that the elders have been in
dulging in forms of entertainment
less staid and solemn than those OF
some years back-why, President
Taft himself delights to trip the light

The Badger players were heavier than
the Northwestern men and made fewer
fumbles. Both Moll and Tanberg OK

northwestern players were fast on their

eight minutes of play. Van Ripper failed
to kick the goal, as he did on Polock's
third touchdown.

satisfaction of being the first team to
cross the Harvard goal line this season,
a feat due to its perfection in forward

Ashbaugh kicked a difficult goal. Har-
