METHODOF MAKING
 SYNTHETIC MILK
Great Boon to Humanity When Laboratory Sup
 Plants Cow

From the New York Evening Post
 In the welter of miracles and pseudo miracles of a twentieth century day it Is not surprising that even the experts make mistakes of appraisal-characteri ing as worthless genuine discoveries, but more frequently. perhaps. accepting the pseudo article at it's face value. The re- cent announcements of synthetic milk and meat in Germany are not inherently im- probable, from purely chemical point of view. The composition of both sub stances is known and so far as the gross chemistry is concerned it has been possi- ble for some time to make mixtures close ly resembling milk, at least in nutritive value.
 On the other hand, the laboratory mar ufacture of a fluid resembling milk in ap- pearance and taste-in fact, indisttnguish- able from 1t by ordinary tests-is vastly different and far more difficult problem. But the new milk is said to meet these tests. It has "a round, sweet, fatty flavor, not unlike that of rich milk" The Soya bean appears to be one of it's impor- tant ingredients, and it is interesting to note that "Soya milk" is mentioned in certain text books as a product made by boiling milk and then making a pulp or emulsion of the cooked product. "Soya cheese" is also an old and well known product in Japan and China. Other in- teresting personala regarding the Soya bean are, first, that it's nutritive value is said to be nearly double that of lean meat, and, secondly, because of it's low content of starch it has been much used in Oriental countries in preparing bread for diabetics. The bean contains, how ever, a somewhat disagreeable fixed oil, having some medicinal properties, which

herited wealth and consequent id1eness And it has happened when luxury and idleness have passed all bounds that the outraged lower classes have turned, as in the case of tho French revolu- ton. and there has been a mighty chopping of heads, and the air being then cleared of the miasma of cor ruption, the nation has again started fresh When degeneration infects the upper class on which nation depends for its progress. it's stability, and its genius, it means decay at the core.
 The unhappy distinction of being the most extravagant nations in the world rests with the Americans and the English. And 1t is a truism ap- plicable to both that what one of their middle class families wastes dowed with that intelligent economy which is a fortunate national asset.
 Began at Civil War
 American extravaganza took it's rise after the civil war, when there occurred two notable events; the making Of enormous fortunes and, at the same time, the discovery of Europe as new summer resort. That was the time Of the first invasion of Europe by Amer icans which was destined to influence the worlds standard of living. Perhaps
  aristoeracy more than all has suc- cumbed to the American influence merged. as 1t Is fast becoming, into a plutocracy as absolute as any in Amer lea, with the same standard by which to measure success--and that is money For money, we all know, in certain phases of high English society covers all sins and opens all doors.
 Before the civil war the people of the north were so simple and econom- ical that when on rare occasions they were brought face to face with Old World luxuries they were filled with wonder and disapproval. But no soon CT was the war over and the victory rested with the north than the making of huge fortunes began and as a re- suit of vast riches and vast earning powers the cost of living increased in proportion to the growing wealth of the people, and this it has been doing by leaps and bounds ever since.
 So what wonder that when Americans first went abroad, accustomed to their own inflated prices and confronted by the cheapness of Europe, they could not get over their astonishment. Unlucldly they

Played Tag With Nine Stowaways

From the New York Sun.
 The steamship Calabria, from Mediter- ranean ports, brought in nine stowaways in addition to it's regularly entered S9S steerage passengers. The stowaways were discovered the third day out from Palermo, but they weren't captured un- til they had led two of the ships of ficers a chase through two holds and over and around much of the cargo.
 November II Andrew Pauelesen, chief officer, and Frank Henderson, fourth of ficer, were looking through the hold and saw a light at the far end of hold against the bulkhead of hold 3. They followed the light which was about the size of that made by a cigarette, over the heaped up cargo, but when they got to the bulShead they couldn't find any sign of 1t.
 It is possible for a person to get from hold ? into hold 3 by way of tween deck space. Pauelesen led the fourth officer back up to the deck to a hatch which leads into hold B. This hatch had been covered with tarpauln. They let themselves down and came upon two empty wine fasks and some pieces of bread. But there were no men in sight.
 It was left for tie two officers to make a thorough search of the two holds. The hunt developed into a game of tag, with the officers a little way behind In hold Henderson rubbed against a man s leg and much frightened Italian was pulled out of a pile of mattresses. A. rummag- Ing disclosed seven more Italians. All were sent to the hospital. The officers later found their ninth man.
 It appeared from the wine f1asks and bread fragments that passengers had provided the stowaways with the best the ship afforded. The ships officers got from them that part had boarded the ship at Naples and the rest at Palermo. All will be sent back to Italy.

expressed their astonishment and delight to every astute shopkeeper, so it is not surprising that the astute shopkeepers all over the world took heed and. in defer- enee to their best transatlantic customers, gently, pleasantly, but surely forced up their prices, and not only for Americans but, unfortunately, also for their cwn countrymen. This they have done with such success that even the travelling American plutocrats must feel an in- creased respect for people who have learnt so well the great American sci ence of overcharging. Indeed. the Ameri- can now confronted with an English hotel bill is often and unpleasantly reminded of "home, sweet home"
 Reaping Harvest
 But the time has now come when even America, plethoric with money, is al- ready reaping the harvest of extrava- gance, and even she has begun to rebel against the extortionate cost of living. But it is too late; the world has become a spendthrift, and 1t is easier to become extravagant than, being extravagant, to return to the ways of economy. For in a great, unwiedy country like Amer ca controlled by trusts, where the en- terprise of any one man runs the Gan- ger of being crushed rebellion against eXtortion must wreck on the impossible ity of competition.
 The American evolution from ice water to champagne has in turn been followed here by an evolution equally disastrous to the middle classes. whose powers of earning cannot possibly keep pace with their newly acquired taste for luxury, and who struggle to make both ends meet with an unnteligenee which is the re- suit of wrong and insufficient education and false standard which, if 1t teaches
 
 of the unimportant, which includes a ten deney to judge people by their clothes rather than their souls.
 Human ingenuity is necessarily at work to provide us with cheap luxuries. and that constitutes one of the greatest ex- travagances of our times, to which among other things we owe those miracles of commerce, the great department stores. behind whose glittering plate glass win dows treasures are displayed beyond the imagination of a Scheherazade telling Der wonderful stories to a world-weary sultan. And because we are the help less victims of progress Arabian Nights splendors have become so common that, unfortunately, they have been brought fatally near the splender purses of the middle class. We are indeed suffering from the apotheosis of the cheap! But perhaps the supreme tragedy of modern life, when the big shops tempt women with extravagant cheapness-and with out women there would be no such mir acles of stone and plate glass-comes when they forget that for the luXures they buy too cheap some wretched sweat ed women are suffering misery and star vation.
 Perhaps the punishment of too much material prosperity is the universal dis content which has made of the luXuries of the past our necessities.

VICTIMS OF PROGRESS

Mrs. John Lane in the London Mail
 The luxuries of the past have be- come the necessities of the present. And it is not unjust to say that much of the extravaganza of modern life in London we owe to America.
 Ever since her civil war she has set the pace, and from starting herself with a modest ice water standard of life she has reached what may be called the champagne standard, and such is the influence of what in her is least admirable, that in spite of the warnings of thinking men and women it has insidiously become the standard of modern life.
 And not only does it affect the rich est and highest classes, but Cwhat Is infinitely more to be deplored), 1t af- fects the class by which alone a na- tion's prosperity can be judged-the middle class

 The advantages of a really satisfactory synthetic milk are so obvious that the importance of the announcement Of It's achievement is manifest It would large ly eliminate the danger of infection through milk. If prepared by boiling, as seems probable, it can be made absolutely sterile and be kept so far an indefinite period If retailed for cents quart dhe makers say that they can sell at this price and make good profit the discov- cry will be an almost inestimable boon 10 the poor.
