Before eggs go soaring to their usual
TO have one final fling at the cakes in
which several eggs are used. In TACT,
where cakes are of the sunshine, an
gel and sponge variety no butter is
used. so ii makes a very reasonable
cake after all. Cake is not necessar-
lily food, neither is 1t used for steady
diet, so the making of it should be
regulated by the prices of eggs and
whether ones income will permit OF
extras.
| 1t is so easy to lay all our troubles
to the high cost of living" but II
when certain foods advanced in price
a substitute were used 1t would save
considerable. Close figuring also Is
a help. For instance, estimate the
cost of the number of eggs at &C
much a dozen, a cup and a half Of
sugar, cup of butter. cup of -four
Then there would be some intelligent
ideas along this line Of high com
planning"
Try this fall TO talk less of high prices
and do do more to avoid cost. Be more
careful in the selection of food. Know
when potatoes are advanced in pric'
that 1t is time to use rice in various
ways 1t is just as good and bette
occasionally and supplies the SAM
food value. Count the cost OF tn
good cake which can be made at hom
and know when TO use less or NOR
eggs.

THr WILSON'S AM HrrRrA.

Wilson do not agree upon the policy that should

situation The President averse to recognizing the

do everything within uphold President Huerta

scarcely likely that Ambassador Wilson will he
back TO the Mexican capital to represent the vii
son administration II goes without SAYING that the
diplomatic representative there should be complete
harmony with the Wilson administration. no matter
what IT'S policy may he.
Ambassador Wilson admits that in the revolution
which resulted in the deposition and murder Of
Madero he was in sympathy with the Huerta-
Daz faction. He also defends his course through
and succeeded the downfall of the Madero
government BY his earnest advocacy of the Huorta
administration the ambassador nerentaly gives

WILMINGTON AND rrs AssEssNrNr.

RslOND all question Wilmington should have sci
~ entihc system of assessment The Howell ad
ministration is committed IT, Property owners az
rule favor it, It Is notorious fact that the sys-
tenn we have is neither scientific nor equitable To
that extent the directors Of the Chamber
to he commended for having placed themselves on
record as being in favor Of the Board Assessment
Revision and Appeals having scientific assessment
made They also showed their wisdom by refrainng
from suggesting any particular system Of assessment
That should be left to the discretion of the city Off
cials
In this assessment matter the only open question
is whether the city shall spend thousands dollars
Of the taxpayers money for a system or obtain
for nothing next to nothing based upon the best
experience of progressive and busness-ike American
cities having such systems. The easiest way. Of
course would be to buy system outright That prob
ably would cost the taxpayers between $4,000 and
$4,000. IL not be forgotten, however that we
have in all sections of city taxpayers who are
clamoring for public improvements and who are un-
able TO obtain them because the city has not the
money in hand to grant them. If a means can be de-
whereby any material portion of the money that
would be required to buy system may be saved and
that money devoted to needed public improvements IL
will please the taxpayers and cause them to regard
highly the busnecs-lke qualities of the present
administration.
We do not think that anyone conversant with the
problems of municipal government which are based
largely upon assessment and taxation will contend that
any American city has the very last thing the matter
Of assessment system. There are, however. many
wel-governed cities which have satisfactory systems
and it would cost little to adopt one Of them the
best features Of several of them
When the cost of system TO our city is being con-
sidered however It should he borne in mind that the
system itself II good should pay its cost in in
creased revenues the first year because experience has
shown that equity in the matter of assessments nvar
ably results in larger aggregate values and greater
returns.

connection between them. For the
first English regatta was introduced,
from Venice and took place off Rane-
lagh Gardens in 1775. Contemporary
accounts give full details of the splen-
dor of the Lord Mayors barge. but
have not much to say about the rae
ing, which was confined to the pro-
fessional watermen. II is a curious
fact that early British rowing almost
entirely was fostered by the proprie-
tors of London's places Of amusement.
vauxhall Gardens offered prizes each
year, and Ashley. of circus fame, was
an early patron OF the sport.
II was not until the nineteenth CEN
tury that rowing ceased to be re-
garded as merely hard work by the
amateur sportsman. The Leander
Club was formed in about 1918, and
the first mention of rowing at public
schools occurs about fve years before.
Then the sport went ahead by leaps
and bounds. and, by 1889, the need of
a central point for the annual regatta
was felt, and Henley was chosen af-
ter due consideration Of rival sites.
Fragment by fragment the work Of
/ restoration of st. Bartholomew the
/ Great in West Smithfield, which is
the most ancient and famous church
! in the City of London, is being car
ried on. The building that now re-
mains of what once was a large
priory is the monastic choir of the
church. built in the first half of the
twelfth century.
When Henry VIII. in 1888, suppress.
ed the monasteries, the greater part
of the nave and all the outbuildings
we're destroyed, and the remainder
sold to Sir Richard Rich. in whose
family they remained until early in
/ the nineteenth century. A restora-
ton of the structures begun in 1853
was resumed in 1885, and has been
ever since continued 40 intervals.
The north transept was restored to
the church in 1898. For many genera
tions it had been occupied by black
smiths forge The fine arcade was
buried some four feet deep in earth,
and the upper portion was entirely
hidden by the smithy. The present
cloister. consisting of three only Of
the eight bays of the east alley. was
recovered from the stable keepers and
restored in 1905.
An appeal is now being made for
the sum OF e1.500 to enable the su-
thorities to remove encroachments on
the south side of the church. and by
transferring to distance the boiler
house, which now is actually within
the walls of the chapel. and thus obvi-
ate the danger from fire.

Editorial Opinion
NAILED.


From the Princess Anne MaryIander.
At the Progressive mass meeting
last Wednesday Mr.. Starr, the speak
er of the occasion, by implication
stated that the Hon. Joshua w. Miles
was not a Wilson Democrat because
he did not vote for Wilson until the
last ballot was taken in the Demo-
cratic National Convention This
was news to US The officisl report
of the proceedings of the convention
states on page 275 that Mr. Miles
voted for Wilson on ballot No 26,
which was taken on Saturday, June
%, 1912, and the same report further
states that Wilson was not nominated
until ballot No. as was taken on the
following Tuesday. July 2, 1912. and
the same report shows furthermore
that Mr.. Mills voted for Wilson on
every ballot after said ballot No 26.
We stand by the record. Mere de-
magogic opinion, based upon preju-
dice never proved any case.
