Our first impulse is to rule out or

cost OF living. But we ought first TO

that will help us in wrestling WITH

who has been studying the question
for the agricultural department az
Washington, has figures TO prove that
the. prices of many things are not un'
precedented, but are high By reason
OF comparison with an era OF low
prices in the later years OF the so
and throughout the 90's. He shows,
for example, that the farm price OF
beef was higher from 1881 70 1885 anu
from 1896 to 1900 than in any subse'
quent year except 1911 and 1912

SIRENS OF THE SEA.
Those OF Present Day Haunt
Ships Instead of Cliffs.
Modern Enehantresses Live In Small
staterooms Aboard PaIatlal Liners
That Ply Between Port Of New
York and Foreign Shores.

New York,-Those ancient entan-
glers OF men who in the Moreric myth
ology used their Establishments over
mariners, have their successors today
for those who travel by the sea.
The sirens OF ancient days-Par-
thenope, Ligea and Leucosia and the
rest of their CLASSIFIED in cliffs and
caves OF islands between Sicily and
Italy.
Their successor of today travel first
class in sumptuous ocean hotels. They
have discarded their wings and half
bird and half-fish costumes for Paris
creations, with headgear from Fifth
avenue and the Rue de la Paix. Long
since the double flute of the marine
sorceresses OF Homer has been ex-
changed for a lorgnette, a fan or a
cigarette.
The presence OF the modern siren
on the great ships OF today is not
known to the general and nonobserv-
ant traveller. But two classes know
Of her existence very well-her vic
tins and the "gangplank" detectives.
There is and has been for two gen.
erations along the North river water
front a regularly organized STAFF Of
sleuths and plain clothes men who are
independent OF the uniformed police
and headquarters plain clothes men.
The business has been transmitted
from father to son.
The names of these marine de-
tectives seldom appear in print, but
they are very important people never
the less, for they watch the passen-
gers on ocean vessels and separate
the sheep from the goats.
These quiet, unobtrusive men, who
look like steamship men or managers
of passenger traffic, glue their eyes
upon every traveller passing up or
down a gangplank. embarking this
week and returning weeks hence. On
the deck OF the vessel within or with
out the three-mile limit violations of
conventions or noncompliance with
laws which obtain on land are difficult
of detection.
The twentieth century siren, from
a liking for the sea, chooses a swell
suite on a liner in preference to the
no longer poetic and now Improbable
habitation of Circe lying along the
course from the country Of the Cy-
clops.
Instead OF picking the bones of
mariners, over whom they formerly
exercised their powers, strewing their
skeletons thickly around their dwell
ings, they now dine in the floating res
taurants of international name and
pick the bones OF pheasants and
ptarmigans instead. They drink rare
vintages. while the old style siren was
presumably content with water. Over
her and her movements the pier sleuth
watches.
What his pocketbook. containing
every known detail Of offensive and
defensive armor OF every warship in
the world Is to the naval officer, 80 his
little book is to the pier sleuth; for, as
Koko says, the detective whispers OF
the siren, I've got her on my list"

AGAIN RAISING THE POPPY
Chinese Backsllde on Their Agree
ment Not to Boom Business
In Opium.

London.-The report of Sir ]. N.
Jordan, British minister to China, on
the opium question indicates that
there has been some backsliding IN
the effort to suppress the cultivation
OF the poppy since the introduction Of
the republican regime.
The report declares that since the
fan OF the Manchus the policy of sup
preston agreed upon between China
and Great Britain has been weakened
and that there has been an immense
recrudenscence In the cultivation OF
the drug.
In the provinces OF Anhui, Human
and Shantung the campaign for the
suppression Of the cultivation OF the
plant his been successful, and in con-
sequence the importation OF Indian
opium into these provinces will cease
But investigation in other parts of the
republic tells different tale. In many
OF the provinces the authorities are
powerless to prevent cultivation. In
others there is collision between the
powers and the growers, and in still
others the officials are not inclined to
deprive themselves of rich source OF
revenue.
The reports, however, are not all
from official sources. many being sup
piled by missionaries and travellers,
so exact figures are impossible. The
minister concludes with the statement
that a great deal must be done before
the work Of suppression can be con-
sidered as complete.

HEADS GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC

Washington Gardner OF Michigan
was recently elected commander-in-
chief for the ensuing year Col. G, r.
Adams Of Nebraska was the candi'
date agreed upon by few leaders OF
the Grand Army at the last encamp-
ment, and the election of this year
came after one OF the hardest fights
ever waged in a national encamp-
ment which was held at Chattanooga,
Tenn. Michigan won a double vic
tory, securing not only the comman-
der-in-chief. but the next encamp-
ment also, the delegates voting to
meet in 1914 at Detroit. Colonel
Adams ran second in the race for
commander, but after it was apparent
that ex-Congressman Gardner was to
be elected the full vote of the en-
campment was cast for him. Other
officers elected were:
Senior vice commander, Thomas
NJ. Seward, Guthrie. Okla; junior
vice commander, VIM. L. Ross, Pitts
field, Me-; surgeon general, j. X.
