"a bite to eat" Mr. Davies writes:
I'VE protested against so much

tested there wasn't going to be much

argued, should supply us with better

in this innovation surpasses academic
considerations.
The crowds that frequent the Met
ropolitan Museum and the galleries
where special collections are exhibit
ed, are daily growing larger.
The number of American colleges
which have art museums in separate
buildings is growing surprisingly
large The William Hayes FOgg Art
Museum of Harvard University was
founded by Mrs. Elizabeth FOgg of
New York in memory of her husband,
whose name it bears. Mrs. FOgg be-
queathed the sum of 100000 for
this purpose. The museum contains
"a small but important collection of
original works of art and also has
lecture halls. At Yale the Jarves
Gallery of Italian art specimens
numbering 1870 paintings from the
eleventh to the seventeenth centuries.
Yale also has the Trumbull Gallery
of fifty-four historical portraits, and
the Alden collection of Belgian wood
carvings.
Princeton's Museum building and
collections are valued at $125, 900
and consist of a collection of pottery,
a large architectural and art library,
and a few paintings. Cornell has

of Pennsylvania Museum was organ
lied in 1889 for providing for in

The specimens pertain particularly
to Assyrian art. At the University
of Illinois is an art gallery which was
the gift of citizens of Champaign and
Urbana. The Park Gallery of Art at
the University of Vermont has rooms

AFTER THE HORSE Is STOLEN.

Ii is one of the distressing facts in
our daily life that is only after the
great catastrope has happened that
We take so-called precautions to
prevent similar calamities. Grand
stands have to fall before it is de-
cided to build them of concrete. A

it is found that more life-preservers
are needed. An IrOquOis Theater

Disasters happen which thu ow the

As long as excitement remains high.
the investigation runs on speedily.
When the excitement subsidies. the

1t is perhaps sad that life's activ-
tiles should be so varied as to cause
such an appalling accident to be
soon forgotten. There is also per-
haps Just as much virtue in it. But
let this one stay in mind long
enough at least for all to get to the
bottom of the matter. If the COM
pany has been wrongly blamed let II
be exonerated. If it is found culpable,
let il be condemned in no uncertain
terms. There is too much of this
constant strife for records. Accl-
dents upon accidents have happened
while these records have been tried
for. The noblest record lies in the
safety of the journey. not in the
speed of it. The greatest beauty
lies in the safety of the ship. not in

Spring Planting Hints

Shrubbery, trees and hardy vines
should be transplanted in late sum-
mer or fall or in spring. The time
for fall planting is from the time the
plant blooms until it freezes. No
definite date can be given, but the
time is usually from September 10
to November 10. Plants may be set
out in spring as soon as the ground
can be worked until the leaves are
mature. The dates are about March
Is to May 10.
Perrennials, or plants living more
than two years, may be transplanted
any time the ground can be worked.
They will lose the seasons growth
already produced. consequently it is
best to plant them in spring.
Bedding and tender plants, such
as geranium. saliva and cOleus. may
be planted any time after the danger
of freezing is past. After May 15
is the usual date. All of the dates
given are Influenced by the season
and location.
Early Towering bulbs do best when
planted in autumn after October l
Annual seeds should be planted
after May 10. Sweet peas may be
planted as soon as the ground thaws
The usual date is St. Patrick's Day
but they could not be planted tha,
early this year on account of the late
spring.
| Evergreens thrive best when trans
planted in spring.

LEST WI. FORGET.

In the last nine years so, 1923 per-
sons have been injured in celebrating
the Fourth of July: of this number
l,119 died: of these deaths 97S
were directly due to lock-jaw. Con-
sidering that the Fourth of July
comes but once a year and that the
celebration proper lasts but few
hours. the death toll is appalling.
At this time casualty statistics,
the latest compiled, will be of inter-
est. During the year 1909 the num-
Der of deaths from drowning was
Ass: from railroad accidents,
$3.50; from injuries received from
horses or while riding in vehicles.
2,152; from street car accidents,
1,793: from accidents and careless
ness in handling automobiles, 632;
from maritime accidents on the
coast of the United States. including
those on the inland waters and to
American shippers at sea and in for
eign waters, 4O2.
To thoughtful persons comments
on the foregoing figures are unnec-
essary. However, the important
thing is to see that those numbers
are reduced A good place to begin
the work of preventing accidents and
their resulting casualties is right at
home.

th a.tet III " :: 80 -, takes the ground
free - : accept the principle of
,ocational education for all we
must be prepared to offer training in
any trade that boy may desire and
show fitness for. If boy wishes to be-
come jeweler, or an engraver, or de-
signer, he should have as much ri ht
TO- demand free instruction at the pub
lie expense as does the boy who wish
es to be carpenter or an office clerk.
This fact is often ignored
Why not, when it is not fact? In
the first place, the principle Of free
vocational education for all has been
Haccepted'' But those who choose to
! accept it are not bound to follow it
to what it is the fashion to call its
'Iogical'' consequences, though the
logic in such cases is usually very bad,
as it is in this case. One might as well
say that if we accept the principle Of
free education for all the community
| is bound to give course in Chinese to
any pupil who demands it. There is no
natural "right'' to free education I'M
trade; whatever the state or the COM
mun1ity undertakes in that direction is
based on considerations Of general vel.
fare, as is the case With courses in
tende to promote general intelligence
and mental competence. Both are in
the interests of the state one political
| w. the other economically. But state
which for example undertakes to i'm
prove the quality of its farming by
establishing an agricultural college is
not bound to provide for all: trades in
the same way. Nor is there any such
committal in an attempt to check un-
| employment by teaching trades to
bows who would otherwise drift into
idleness or casual unskilled labor.
But while Mr.. Dakin 8 logic must be
challenged at this point, he offers a
satisfactory way out in pointing to a
reformed system of apprenticeship as
the proper means for training in those
trades which do not fit well into
public vocational schools. It is a mis-
take to think that education ought to
be unified that all kinds Of specialized
accomplishments ought to come from
one standard source Of public instruc-
ton. On the contrary, the agencies
ought to be varied according to the
nature Of the required preparation.

Government Begins Action +:
Federal Court.
DECLARED TO Be Illt(;;.;i
Complaints Charges That Prices Are
Arbitrarily Fixed to Detriment Of
the Consuming Public.

Chicago, Dec. 15.-The Elgin board
Of trade, popularity known as the ..but-
ter trust" and the American Associa.
ton Creamery Butter Manufacturers,
were attacked by the federal govern
ment in a civil antitrust suit filed
here for the dissolution of both con-
Germs. :: :~~-::
Sweeping charges of a conspiracy
arbitrarily to fix the price of butter in
the. interests of big manufacturers
and cold storage concerns and to the
detriment of the farmer, other small
producers and the consuming public,
are made by Attorney General Wick
ersham against the so called trust,
which he would destroy as violation
of the Sherman law.
Aside from the dissolution of the
two organizations the government
seeks to enjoin the defendants from
appointing a price fixing committee;
from fixing prices; from quoting or
publishing figures purporting to be
market prices" until they are based
upon bona fide sales of butter; from
demanding that the Elgin price be
used as a basis of making contracts
for butter; and from making fictitious
or wash sales" of butter to mislead
as to the actual price at which butter
is being sold.
Dominated by centraIizers.
The price of butter fixed on the
Elgin exchange, the government main
tains, is not the result of free and
open competition regulated by actual
bona fide sales under the law of sup
ply and demand. The price fixing
committee of the board is dominated
and controlled, it is alleged, by large
butter manufacturers known as "cen.
tralizers, and by cold storage con-
Germs"
From May to August, when the bulk
of the country's supply is made, the
petition says large centralizing con-
Germs are buyers, rather than sellers
Of butter, buying up the surplus prod
uct and storing it for winter when
the price is enhanced.
It is charged that the American AS
sociation Creamery Butter Manufac-
turers, composed of about forty-six
firms and individuals, is used by the
"conspirators" to maintain these sea-
sonal differences in prices without re-
gard to trade conditions or compe-
tition. All members of the associa-
ton are required, it is alleged, to use
the price thus established as the basis
of their contracts for the purchase or
sale of butter.
