FILIPINO 4 GRADUATE OF WEST POM

Y r is no exaggeration to say that it
"a is the ambition of every Ameri-
can boy to graduate from West
- Point. Therefore it will readily
be seen that when the last class of 107
graduates from the Military academy
on the Hudson received their diplomas
there was one lad who was the par
ticular envy of other less fortunate
American youths. But, although he
was not of their country in the strict
sense Of the word Vincente p. Linn, a
full blooded Filipino, had become so
popular among his classmates by his
manly bearing and qualities there were
rousing cheers when he stepped up to
receive his diploma from Superintend-
ent Townsley. He was No. II in his
class and the first Filipino to grad
uate from the famous military school.
During the time that ne was at West
Point Linn made many friends. He
was an apt pupil, and it is expected
that he will get place in the Filipino
constabulary. Secretary Of War Lind
ley M. Garrison delivered the address
to the class at the Battle monument on
Trophy point 1t was one of the short
est ever made at West Point, lasting
less than fifteen minutes. No intima-
ton, even of active service in the near
future, was given by the secretary to
the newly made officers.
From the doors Of hundreds of insti-
buttons come forth thousands Of young
men and women, leaving behind for
ever the school world, to play their
part on the stage Of actual life. At
most Of these institutions the exer-.
cises by which the graduate leaves
one world and enters another consist
of orations and essays interTningIed
with class songs. There is one, how
ever, where the clinking Of swords, the
volley of musketry and the boom Of
cannon play a part in exercises which
close the year These features are ap-
propriate, however, for they are num-
bered among the customs of the
worlds most noted military school.
Tt is estimated that every cadet who
leaves West Point costs the country
nearly $4,000, or an average of IS, 900
a year This means that the expenses
OF maintaining the institution are SO
great that if each cadet were compel
led to bear his proportion it would
amount to the sum mentioned 1t is
probably the most expensive school in
the world, but Uncle Sam believes that
the results obtained are worth the
money expended.
Those not familiar with the course
Of instruction may have an idea that
the young soldier merely knows how
to drill the regiment or company, how
to hold his sword and go through the
manual Of arms. He must, in fact be
proficient in everything required Of
private soldier in the infantry, cavalry
or artillery, in addition to possessing a |
practical knowledge of military engi- |
neering.

land will be thrown into jail They
say that New York has allowed the
situation to go too far and if the
threats against the American flag are
repeated in their cities the offenders
will be taken in charge by the police
at once.
Meanwhile the New York police are
bending every effort to get at the bot
tom of the conspiracy which culrni-
mated in the explosion of bomb that
killed three I. w. w. men and a woman
and wrecked the tenement at 1925
Lexington avenue. The police always
have contended that the bomb was be-
ing prepared for use on the estate of
John d. Rockefeller at Tarrytown, al
though they admitted that they had
no positive evidence to back up this
charge.
William D. Haywood, general organ
izer Of the I. w. W.. and Joseph j. Et-
tor, national organizer of the I. w w,
have outlined brief description Of the
objects and methods OF the Industrial
Workers of the World. They say that
their organization proclaims that it is
the historic mission Of the working
go on as follows:
''The army of production must be or
gained, not only for the every day
struggle with capitalists, but also to
carry on production when capitalism
shall have been overthrown BY or
ganizing industrially we are forming
the structure of the new society with
in the shell of the old
.'In this struggle for industrial free
dom the I. w. w. has challenged the
attention of all classes in society It
is now a living force, a movement aim
ing at certain immediate changes in
society that will eliminate the priv
ileged class as a ruling power and re-
possess the people with the means of
life, the earth and its resources.
I'VE believe that the time has passed
when this can be done by political ac-
ton
The Industrial workers Of the
World have been accused of violence.
This is untrue The |. w. W. has
neither advocated nor participated in
violence against social order What
capitalists condemn as violence is but
justice to society.
The Industrial Workers Of the
World are organized against the ex-
listing social order which is a con-
tinuous reign OF legaIized and organ
lied violence against the human
family.
The Industrial Workers Of the
World realize that great changes can
not take place without force; even the
tiniest seed cannot fructify without
force. The force advocated by the T.
w. w is natural. It proposes that the
giant Labor shall stop the arteries that
convey the golden stream of toll to the
Golfers of the exploiting class. In a
word, the general strike is the meas
ure by which the capitalist system viii
be overthrown."

RockefeIler's Birthday.
The New York Sun thus described
John D. Rockefeller's seventy fifth
birthday:

as he and Frank c. F'olger, president
of the Standard Oil company of New
York defeated Elias Johnson Of New
York and A. L. Clifford of Tarrytown
in foursome game Of golf.
Mr.. Rockefeller was extremely hap
py, because he won the game on his
seventy birthday.
A beautiful day greeted him when
he arose at $50. He had breakfast at
and then spent an hour reading the
newspapers. Soon after kilograms
Of congratulations began to pour in
They came from all parts of the coun-
try. More than a hundred were re-
ceived.
Mr.. Rockefeller then escorted the
party into his mansion. Ice cold milk,
fresh the same day; chicken sand
witches and crackers formed part Of the
luncheon.
Mr.. Rockefeller did not mention his
birthday during the talk at luncheon.
"As long as I can play as good a
game of golf as I did today I will new
er get any older,' was Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's reply to one Of the friends who
called to congratulate him.

The Iron Crown of Italy.

0NE Of the most famous Of crowns is
~ that which is not bedecked with
jewels, but is made Of iron. This his
toric iron crown has played q romantic
role in the history of Italy. 1t was fash
toned In the year 504 by the command. 1t
IL said. Of Theolinda. the widow of a
Lombard king, on the occasion Of her
marriage to a Duke of Turin.
The iron Is overlaid with gilt. The
significance of the crown was supposed
to lie in the fact that the weight of
royalty could never be lightened by its
splendid exterior. The iron of the inner
portion was traditionally held to be one
Of the long nails used at the crucifxion.
For a long time the crown was Kept In
the famous monastery at Monza. In TIA
it was brought forth to be placed upon
the head of Charlemagne as King OF the
Lombards," and on later occasions 1t fig-
ured in the triumphs of Frederic ~ and
Charles v. Finally, in the presence OF
ali the representatives of state, the for
eign ENJOYS and princes and officers, Ma
poleon Bonaparte solemnly united It TO

only after the great barges owned by the

Dangerous Green Eggs.

A LTHOUGH housewives generally
"A have not hesitated to use eggs
whose whites were green" when the
eggs themselves were odorless and seem
ed to be fresh, experts OF the Depart
ment Of Agriculture have determined
that such eggs are just as dangerous as
though they had begun visibiy to decay.
Dealers have often excused such eggs
by calling them grass eggs" explain
ing that they were the result OF green
food Of the hens. especially in the
spring.
This. insist the experts, is not the case.
Scientific investigation has demonstrated
that the green color of the albumen of
the egg is due to tiny bacteria, even
though the egg itself may show no 9TH
er signs Of deterioration. Examination
OF individual eggs has shown as high as
220.O 100000 of these bacteria In a single
gram. and this in an egg absolutely
odorless and whose white had barely
turned a light green color.
The chief organism found in these
whites is "Pseudomonas syncyanea,"
which was first identified in the food re-
search laboratory of the government. 1t
is the ability of the organism TO produce
throughout the substance in which it
grows, that accounts for tho greenish
color of the albumen of the egg in
which it has set up its habitat. Millions
of other bacteria, however. have also
been found in similar eggs.
The chief source OF this infection is
through the shells of the eggs. This is
particularly true OF eggs that have been
washed or that have been permitted to
get wet removing the herruetic seal
nature has provided to keep the interior
of the egg pure After the shell Of an
egg has become moist It III an Easy mat
