TT is quite within the range of
possibilities that Emperor
William of Germany will visit
San Francisco in 1915
The emperor has expressed great
interest in the proposed Universal
Peace Congress. The idea now of
the fourteen great powers that con-
troll the world getting together on a
peace basis is no longer an idle
dream
If the emperor makes the trip,
he will come on his own yacht by
way of Panama conveyed by an
American and a German man-of-
war
The presence of the emperor in
San Francisco will be the greatest
influence for peace and a mutual
understanding among the nations
that has ever occurred in history.
His Power Is Great.
The individual power of Emper-
or William is greater than that
of any other ruler. Not only does
he occupy very great Office, but
he is a great individual.
Time has tempered him, and if
through his initiative universal
peace could be established through
international disarmament It
would put him absolutely first
among all the kings and emper-
ors who have ever lived since time
began.
And 1t is interesting to know that
the emperor himself realizes the
fact.
It is now generally conceded that
we have gotten out of the struggle
of war all that there Is to be at
tanned.
We have reached not only the
point of diminishing returns, but
we have reached the point where
there is absolutely no return at
all.
Armies are a terrible over head"
tax.
Soldering in the year 1912 stands
for consumption, woe, want, pow
erty, disease, inefhciency and in
competence.
That the resources Of the world
should be used for purposes of de-
struction, and that vast numbers OF
men should be kept constantly I'M
der arms, is a crying evil.

Cold storaue LADY BUGS.

Lady bugs of Nevada origin are i'm
ported into California 10 destroy many
of the insect pests of vines and orch
ards. They are found in moss under
the snow; but at that season they can.
not be pressed into service, because
the worms on which they Feed have
not yet appeared, while the lady bugs
are still alternating.
Accordingly the little Nevadans are
placed in refrigerating wagons and
thus conveyed to California. to re-
main in cold storage until their serv
ices on vines and trees are required.
During all this time they take no food.
With spring come the destroying
worms, and then the lady bug is
taken from her prison and dispersed
where she appears most likely to do
her work well. AS she is ravenously
hungry, the work is begun and con-
tinued until the worms are destroyed.

Attaining Correct Carriage.

TO attain correct carriage one must
walk erect and to achieve this end
there is nothing better than trying to
walk with book or similar article,
such as box of writing paper or sev.
eral music books. This Is sure to keep
one from developing the swaying Of
the body more to the one side than
the other. Stays that force the oppo-
site of this rule should be discarded
and destroyed, for they are not fit for
the individual to wear, for IL they
work against erectness of carriage
they are really menace to the health.
Throw out your chest; better to have
commenters say that you are so
straight that you appear to be falling
over backwards than to be round
shouldered and moreover phthisical In
appearance in looks. IL not in fact.

POINTS FOR THE HOSTESS
How to Overcome Some of the Little
Difficulties That Beset the Busy
Housewife.

Have you ever had a delicious din.
ner ruined by warm salad? If you
have, you were doubtless enraged and
blamed the cook She probably told
you that the salad just came from
the refrigerator, and IL she is truth
full she left you without argument.
Refrigerating is about the only
method of keeping saalds cold that
most women know. They think IL the
ingredients are put in a dish on the
ice everything has been done.
Here is how one woman, noted for
her delicious salads, keeps them icy
cold. The fruit, meat or other ingre-
dents are made ready early in the
morning OF the day they are to be
used, then wrapped in an old napkin
or clean muslin and laid fiat on the
ice; there they stay until the last pos
5ible minute for mixing.
When ready for use they are taken
out and mixed by layers with the
mayonnaise in bowl that is chilled
by standing in a larger bowl Of ice.
The mayonnaise is kept in the refrig-
erf or until needed, and the lettuce is
washed as soon as bought, then dried
and wrapped in q cloth and put fat
on the ice until used.

Mutton Stew.

Trim the fat from three pounds of
mutton, and chop in small pieces as
usual for stewing. Salt and pepper
and place in bag with four chopped,
peeled onions and an equal quantity
of thinly sliced potatoes. Add a
sprirkling of kitchen herbs and cup
and a half of cold water. Cook in
hot oven As minutes. The onions
may be omitted and curry used in
stead, or cold boiled rice and toma-
toes may take the place OF the pota-
toes and onions. but the principle re-
mains the same.

sured from these Investigations that
they have made ali necessary allow
ances for further possible slides Yet
they are preparing to meet any new
ones which may develop Should there
be any additional slides after June /,
1918, the canal authorities will meet
them by moving the great dredges of
the Pacific division into the cut and
dredging out the incoming material
at the rate of millions of yards a
month. BY that time the locks and
dams of the canal will have been COM
pleted and the water can be turned
into Culebra cut. But this is a con-
tingency that is practically certain
not to arise.
Taking a journey through the canal
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, one
may see everywhere evidences of the
rapidity with which the canal is be-
ing completed. The seven-mile sea
level section between deep water and
the Gatun locks is already opened TO
navigation. 1t can now be used by
craft of moderate draft, and will be
completed TO it's full width of 500 feet
and its full depth of Al feet before
Thanksgiving day next year At Ga
tun one finds additional evidence of
remarkable progress The locks az
that place are now within q year of
completion except for the installation
of the gates and other lock machinery.
BY the first of April the Gatun dam
will be ready to hold 55 out of the
final 25 feet of water in Gatun' lake.
That part Of the dam between the
locks and the spillway is already prac-
tically completed. and the other Sec
tion is being pushed to completion
rapidly. The whole structure will be
completed nearly two years before the
official opening day of the canal.
After passing through Gatun locks,
one finds the finishing touches being
applied to the next &c miles of chan
nell The completion of the relocation
of the Panama railroad along the high
ground to the east of the canal has
taken the road out of the Chagres val
ley. This permits that entire portion
of the old Panama railroad to be done
away with, and by May the 26 miles
of the canal between Gatun and Las
Cascades will be entirely completed.

Trumbull's head had fallen to one
side, his eyes were closed, his mouth
was open. A sound closely resembling
the distant rumbling of a railroad
train came from his parted lips. From
rumble it quickly grew into very
good imitation of an automobile horn.
Higher and higher it rose, until the
startling crescendo broke in a fierce,
choking leviathan of snore!

the obvious intention Of rendering

gave a sharp, quite involuntary shrek.
