THE COST OF HIGH LIVING

While there is a universal cry over
the country of the high cost of living,
says the Palm Beach County. and
while many are seeking some easy
way out of the difficulty, very. few pay
attention to the "trifling amounts"
spent in silly ways 1t seems to be
the little things that count.
series of articles in the Saturday
Evening Post. tells in most graphic
details how the present generation
fritters away the income which a past
generation would have considered an
affiuence, and from which our grand
fathers would have saved and invested
a competence.
A nickel is but a trihe-and dime
hardly worth noticing. But it is the
constant stream of nickels which
yields the great dividend of the trac-
ton companies 1t is the multiple
ity of nickels dropping into the boot
blacks till which allows him to get a
banking account and invest in the only
real, stable and honest proposition
real estate.
" The money continually wasted in
trifies would make many payments on
properties bound to enhance in value.
1t is easy to be careless about the
der where the dollar goes once it is
changed into smaller coins!
And it seems so easy to buy 75c. silk
sox when grandma used to either have
the home made ones or bought the
loo. kind. The average young man of
today pays more annually for his gar
ters and socks than his grandfather
paid for shoes and stockings for the
whole family; no doubt of that And
where the fond lover of olden days es-
cOrted his sweetheart to the singing
school and fingered lovingly all the
way home the young man of today
must engage an auto and spend his
two weeks salary on one evenings
JOY ride.
And then we talk of the high cost
OF living! 1t is the desire of each one
to live a little better than his neigh
Dor which makes much of this cost. If
the neighbor has meat three times a
week he must have it six; IL the neigh
Dor hires a span of horses for a Sun
day drive he must procure an auto. If
the neighbor tips the porter, or the
drayman, or the bootblack a quarter
nothing less than a dollar tip goes for
him.
Were the people willing to get right
down to brass lacks and live in con-
sentative manner stunning high pric-
ed luXuries, avoiding those expensive
vacations, which usually return the
wanderer poorer physically and finan-
cially; abolishing the sudden bursts of
spendthriftism which indicate more of
desire for publicity than for comfort;
then there would be lessening OF the
long continued serial of high cost of
living"
But they are not willing. Conse-
quently the present pace must be kept
up-.no matter how many privations or
home heartaches may ensue
The pace is set: either keep up to
1t and be a good fellow" while you
last-or go slower and be happier, but
get the highball laugh and the con-
temptuous giggle

GREETED AS THO SHE HAD
RISEN FROM THE GRAVE

When Miss Maude Powell, on her
way from China where she has been
acting as a missionary, reached her
home in Washington. Pa, she found
shat she had been mourned as one Of
those who were lost on the Titanic.
Only a few weeks ago services in her
honor were held in one of the local
churches and there was much sorrow
at what was supposed to be her fate,
for Miss Powell was very popular
here. Miss Powell had intended to
cross on the Titanic but delayed be-
cause of her desire to visit Westmin-
ster Abbey. Letters which she sent
home telling of her change in plans
miscarried and never reached her peo-
pie who took IL for granted that she
must have gone down on the Inflated
steamer.

Washington's Population.

In his completed report on the popu-
lation of Washington the Director of the
Census has performed a public service
by arranging the figures so that they
mean something TO the lay reader. He
has divided the territory of the city and
its cnvirons into the Metropolitan Dis
trict' and The city and its adjacent
territory" separate details in the tables
being given for each.
The basis OF the computation is the
last named territory. which is the re-
gion contained in a circle of ten miles
radius and had population of 4I3,45S
in 1910 The Metropolitan District
takes in the city and its most thickly
settled suburbs. within the ten-mile
radius, and the population of this district
was 367,S6o, showing an increase of
62.IS5 in ten years. In the Metropoli-
tan District the population increased 70
per cent over 1000, ana that of the city
and adjacent territory increased 70 per
cent.
Mr.. Durand holds that the real popu-
lation OF the city is contained in the
ten-mile radius, as it represents the peo-
pie who look TO Washington for their
supplies, many of whom work in the
city and go to their homes in the sub
urbs at night On this basis Washing
ton takes hipher rauL AMONG the cities
of the country than it would upon a
count of the people who reside in what
we usually term the City of Wash
ington.
The census figures indicate a growth
OF which any progressive center of pop
ulation may be proud 1t means much to
all the commercial. social, and indus
trial interests of Washington.

SENATORS HEAR
OF LIQUOR EVIL
Stricter Regulations Are Demanded
by Representatives Of Re-
ligious Sects.

Stricter regulation OF the liquor tranic
OF the District was urged at yesterdays
hearing before the Senate subcommittee
OF the District Committee by members Of
different religious denominations and va
rious temperance organizations
Mrs. Emma S. Shelton. president Of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union of
the District. who said she spoke on be-
half OF 1OO0 OF her sex. declared that
many of them were mothers Of sons TO
whom the saloons are a constant men
ace"
Rev. Donald c. Macleod. pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church, characterized
as an "eyesore" the spectacle OF women
and boys carrying liquor from saloons
to residences. He commended the par
ticular feature OF the Jones bill prohib-
iting this sort Of thing. In reply to a
question put by Senator Works why
Washington is so much behind other
cities in the matter OF liquor legislation,
DR.. Macleod replied he believed 1t was
because this city is not allowed self
government.
He added that business men were afraid
openly to oppose saloons for fear of be-
ing boycotted.
Rev. c. X. Butler. Lutheran pastor,
spoke OF what he termed the terrible
conditions in this city. Rev. A. W.
Spooner, of the Sixth Presbyterian
church; DR.. c. W. Childs. and Mrs. Don
p Blaine also spoke.

The War in Tripoli.

The war in Tripoli between Italy and
Turkey. concerning which only meager
details have reached the outside world,
because of the close censorship of news
exercised by the chancelleries of Eu-
rope, seems to have reached a point
where the intervention of the powers is
imminent. The Commandment of Beirut
had the effect of uniting most of the
powers against Italy, and it is under
stood that the alliance awaits only the
cooperation of Germany and Austria
to make the European coalition COM
plete.
The powers will probably call upon
the bclligerent nations TO cease hostili-
ties. 1t is proposed that Italy take pos
session of a strip of coast territory,
leaving the interior of Tripoli to
Turkey. This result will be poor COM
pensation to Italy for the expense and
suffering entailed by the war 1t would
have been better if the powers had in
tervened at the start and compelled the
submission of the issues between Tur-
key and Italy to The Hague court or
some other tribunal for arbitration.

Palmyra Island.

Palmyra Island is in the Pacific
Ocean, 1000 miles southwest of Hawaii.
1t was proclaimed part of Hawaii in
1882, but was formally annexed by
Great Britain in 1889. Now, one of the
war vessels of the United States has
visited the island and raised the Ameri-
can flag.
Being a world power, with depend
encics in both the Eastern and Western
seas, it becomes orr business to see that
no territory escapes us, even though
that territory be a thousand miles dis
tsnt from one of Our possessions, and
even though Our action may involve US
in a difficulty with a friendly nation.
The paths into which we were led by
the war with Spain have been many.
Apparently their end is not yet.

The Affair in Lawrence.

1t is to be hoped that the facts OF the
occurrence in Lawrence will be made
known The situation there is grievous,
to quote Senator Lodges words.
No justification has yet been made
for the action Of the authorities in in
terfering with the families who de-
sired to send their children away from
the disturbed city. Neither does it ap-
pear why men and women should have
been arrested and confined in jail when
no law had been vic ated. 1t is difficult
TO understand this exercise of arbitrary
power.
One explanation, made in the course
of the debate in the Senate last Mon
day, is that the children were being sent
away to be paraded in the streets of
Philadelphia so as to excite sympathy
for the worknen in Lawrence. An
other statement was that the arrest
of the mothers was under an old law
which forbids the abandonment OF chill
dren. /; would be better, however, if
the authorities in Lawrence would
themselves make it plain to the rest of
the country the reason for their un-
precedented action As a prima fscie
proposition, it looks as if serious
mistake had been committed.
An explanation from Lawrence is
certainly in order.

Cancer May Not Be Infectious.

Recent experiments reported by Dr.
Peyton Rous, Of the Rockefeller In
stitute. are chiefly interesting to the lay
mind in the fact that they point to the
belief that cancer is not of germ origin
and not infectious. To the medical
world these experiments are important
in disproving the position of Prof. Won
Wassernln, of Germany, who is work
ing on the germ theory for the cure of
cancer. and has made numerous ex-
periments to prove his view of the
origin OF the disease.
DR.. Rous' experiments were pursued
upon healthy and well-bred chickens,
which were inoculated with a fluid free
from germs, but containing solution Of
cancerous poison. Dr. Rous took some
of the ligaments and cells from a hu-
man subject affected with cancer The
cells were developed until the growth
medium was fully impregnated with
them. The medium was then run
through a filter that retained all the
germs contained in the liquid. After
filtration the medium was examined by
the highest power microscopes and
found 10 be free from all germs. 1t
was then injected into the breasts of
fowls, and in nearly all cases cancer was
quickly evolved in the healthy chickens.
Strangely, the healthiest fowls were
easiest affected. and only those poor in
tissue and ailing escaped from the in
oculations.
The conclusion to be drawn from
these experiments is that cancer is not
a germ disease. unless the microbes are
too minute to be discovered by the mi
croscope. and that it is not an infec-
tious disease, unless by open contact
with the cells of the tumors In other
words, it is due to invading organisms
not directly transmitted from one in
dividual to another. DR.. -Rous' expert
ments do not advance the quest for the
cure of cancer to any great degree, ex-
cept that they seem to eliminate one
branch of the inquiry, or to drive ex-
perimenters to new form of tests be-
fore establishing the germ theory for
the origin of the disease
