The general had a very acute

long life spanned one of the most
eventful periods of the worlds his
tory, and, so far as the same re-

own country, he had personal &C
quaintance with most of the great
men and a personal touch with most
of the big events which went to
make zap that history. Hence the
ease with which General Baker could
always command the right material
and infuse into it the very life and
atmosphere it had when it was the
actual reality.

authentic, although the members of the
committee will not make statements un-
til the official announcement is made.
Several months ago the committee an
nounced that the big stadium would be
ready by next fall. There was no ques-
ton about it.
Enough money had been raised and
pledged to put the work well under way,
and enough was in sight for the comple-

carrying out of all the stadium plans
The announcement was made that the
actual constructive work would start as

March 1, and that without question the

the body is OF more value than raiinent
and an abundant supply of pure air of
mere Importance TO life than the main
tenance of the traditional snowwhiteness
OF pair of window curtains.
The fear of soiling white curtains and
also of admitting dust and dirt into the
rooms where it can settle on furniture
and ornaments is quite as much respon-
sible for the closed window habit as Is
the dislike of draughts. It is hard to
overcome prejudice, and harder still to
root out an old established custom. but,
nevertheless. tlrese elementary facts of
hygiene should be taught plainly and
simply to elder girls in school so that
wiser habits of house management may
be inculcated.
To abolish curtains altogether from
the windows of private dwellings would
be, perhaps. too much to expect OF the
present generation. but II this ideal can
not yet be attained, they might be made
Of some less expensive or more readily
renewable material For the sake OF
appearances human lives must not be al
lowed to suffer.

Poor Pictures on the Border

from the FL PaSO Herald.
Repeated clashes at Douglas between
Mexican and American troops do not
seem to arouse bitter feeling, and this
fact demonstrates that International re-
lations are improving, There is gem
eral disposition to regard the trouble
on the line at Douglas as due to pure
ly local differences in no way re-
fleeting the state of mind of the peo-
pie generally of either nation The
clashes are looked upon as perhaps
unavoidable in the present state OF dis
turbance and it is certain that neither
side wishes to use these skirmishes al
an excuse for warlilSe demonstrations
Nevertheless. there is chorus OF
dlsapproval upon the issuance of or
ders to the American troops to duck,
and run seek cover and withhold
their fire when the Mexicans open up.
This may be good statesmanship, IL
may even be good soldering, but it
looks mighty bad in the moving pic
lures, and many Mexcans Will miscon-
strue such actions and ascribe them
to anything but worthy motives
II looks to the casual observer down
this way as If the least the American
patrol could do would be to stand firm
on American soil and resist aggres-
sion. 1t Is a question worth pondering
over whether a too shrinking policy OF
nonresistance may not lead to those
very eXcesses we are all trying earn
estly to avoid VIII our friends to the
south entirely understand the turn the
other cheek programme? Certainly the
American troops are not under any cir
cumstanees going to start any shooting
across the line. The surest way for the
MeXicans at Aqua Prieta to avoid
recurrence of these unfortunate cpl
sodes is to refrain from shooting into
the United States.

means of finding food for the unem-
ployed? We have no hard times now
such as we had then, but the Pingree
idea is as sound in good as in bad times
and should be put in practice perma-
nently. There are hundreds of vacant
lots around Portland which are mere
patches of brush and weeds. many of
them directly adjoining new, well-kept
homes.
Why should not the owner of that
home grow his vegetables, principally
potatoes, on the vacant lot? What Is
more unsightly than vacant lot. what
more slightly by comparison than good
garden. though only potato patch2
Many a lot which the owner cannotor
does mt wish to sell or upon which he Is
mot ready TO build, might well be rented
year by year for enough to pay the
taxes. The renter would be richer by
the amount he saved in cost of vege-
tables and, II an indoor man, would be
healthier for the exercise lie found in
gardening. The city's suburbs viii have
