FlrNEss IS IMPoRTANr.

In his declaration that the captains in the navy must hereafter show fit- ness and experience in their examina- tion for promotion to rear adnirals, instead of depending upon seniority and length of service, Secretary Dam iels might be thought to take the poe motion and the service which would follow have profited to the detriment of the department. It is ruling, how ever, which should operate more just ly than the recent decision of the 'plucking board which took Captain T. M. Potts from the service, and placed him on the retired list, only after he had had an unusual opportunity for demonstrating his value to the navy.
 Whatever can be done to create greater efficiency among the naval of ficers is worthy of attempting. Every rear admiral should be fiji for the place. There should not be partiality shown or influence eXerted to pass polit- ical favorite over another who might be far more capable. Officials are se- leeted, or should be, for the value they can render to the government both in times of peace and in times of war, They should have a knowledge of all forms of the service and be fully qual- flied for whatever rank they may be promoted to- before such promotion is made. Changes in department prac- tice are always liable to displease some but if it is betterment which is really aimed at the displeasure is of minor importance.

MOVING PiCTUREs.

Moving pictures have come into such widespread use as a matter of enter tainment and education that it is not surprising when it is announced that eighty million dollars represent the in- vestment in such enterprises, They have to a large degree removed the theatrical productions through giving a cheap but satisfying entertainment and when proper consideration has been given to the character of the pie lures shown the recompense in pleas ure and education has been equal to the outlay even though the American people last year enthused over 1t to the extent of $500. .e00, 900 nickels.
 The moving picture show has in- creased rapidly in popularity and the greater its use the greater its field of influence has developed. Though its financial return is large. the nov ing pictures have by no means served their full purpose in the direction of entertainment alone. As an edueation- al factor they have high value which should not be lost sight of. There are opportunities beyond that of entertain ment for which the moving pictures can be employed with profit. This is being attempted in many instances with much success, the lecture plat form being greatly aided thereby while the school and the church are also making excellent use of their nossibn- ities. The movies" have made good. where properly censured, and the turning of them from the rixeuleus and amusing to the useful and educa- tional opens up limitless opportuni- ties for increasing their value.

NEW FANS.

Butterfly fans are the newest thing in their line Apparently the designer of them has been to South America and brought back specimens of the eXquisitely marked butterflies in shades of green. cerise, brown and mauve, painted on a silk spread edged with gold braid and mounted upon sticks representing highly polished ivory. Some of the spreads are of gauge so fine that the butterflies, at distance, seem to be floating in the air and momentarily one expects them to vanish. The beauty of these fans is that they will harmonize with a frock of any color.
 Another charming type of the hand painted fan is of gauge mounted upon white ivory. every stitch of which is painted in water colors with a floral pattern. And as the upper edge of the spread is finished with white ost- rich fues, the effect of the gold, the water colors and the fluff is very fetching.
 Particularly fascinating is fan of white marabou backed with white ostrich feathers, whose tips, running above the body of the spread, make a fringe of fluff at the top. Trailing over the marabou are tiny pink satin flowers and small green leaves which run down upon a mounting of silver inlaid pearl sticks.

Johnstown today for Winona Lake,

Sunday will have been paid at the rate
of practically $4,000 a week during
his stay in Johnston.
Figuring that he averaged 13 ser
mons a week, Sunday received be-
tween $3.50 and $240 per talk for his
work. His record here both in point
of the number of converts and the
total of the final collection was far
more than those of both South Bend
Ind. and Steubenville, O., where his
last two campaigns were held. AT Steu
benville about 5000 were converted
and he received approximately $11 ,00C
for his work. He was paid practically
the same amount in South Bend for
6.400 converts.

Earlham Takes No Action on Honey
we'll Revival.

Whether the Honeywell revival
services will be given official recog-
milton by Earlham college is yet a
matter of speculation. 1t has been
customary for the college to hold
special revival services each year for
its students, Should the faculty lend
its cooperation TO the Honeywell
campaign the college services will not
be held this year
Members of the faculty are loath to
abandon the college meetings because
they have been productive of much
good and have never been followed by
an undesira BILE reaction which some
times chara acterizes the work of pro
fessional reyivaliSts.
The next regular faculty meeting
will not be held until the opening Of
college the second semester but it is
probable that the matter will be
threshed out before that time. Should
the college join hands with the
churches. it may mean curtailment
of study hours and recitation periods
for the students
