SUBMARINE ANIMATION

The loss of the English submarine AT with the full crew adds another to the long list of such vessels which have been responsible for a great loss of life since the effort was first made for the construction of these vessels. Magnificent progress has been made in the building of such vessels, but they have not apparently reached the state of perfection where the members of such crews do not assume an extra ordinary risk, every time a descSnt is made. For q long period increased protection and new devices have been steadily added through proGting from the faults and experiences of the past. Just such disasters as that to Az have been the cause of bringing the safety or submarine navigation to it's position of today, hazardous as it is It has been underway for a much longer time than the flying machine. but is able to offer but little more assurance than aviation. England and France have been heavy losers through submarine disasters and these little vessels are today at the highest state of perfection and yet it has not been possible to avert just such an ocean tragedy as has been enacted What grim value there will he from this great sacrifice depends upon the recovery of the submarine. ETen though the possibility of rescue has vanished there still exists the need Of preventing such an occurrence in the future and one of the ways will be in deVising some method whereby the location of the under the water vessels can be determined. Others may be re- yealed if the boat is ever found.

TRUST LEGISLATION

The important part which trust leg islation is to play in the present ses- sion of congress is indicated by the preparations which are being made in anticipation thereof. From the pol icy outlined and the bill presented it is not a radical course which is indi- cated but it must be realized from the start that it is a delicate operation which is being planned. It is mat ter which not only calls for a consci- entious effort in behalf of whatever changes are made but imposes the ne cessity of a full realization of the dan- ger which is involved in disturbing the law, The attempt at improvement should be so guarded that it does not result in the creation of greater un- certainty instead of less.
 It is against the rule of reason" that much effort will be directed. but it must be remembered that this rule was of judicial formation made nec- Assary because of the uncertainty of the product of the lawmakers. This furnishes a guide for the efforts which are underway and calls for the proper consideration as to whether the pro- posed change offers any improvement, or whether it like the existing law would have to have reason read into 1t. Such an upset with a new inter- pretation and the elimination of reason would have a most important and damaging effect upon business while If no improvement is to be made. there Is little object in tinkering with the law, as it now stands and which has been brought into most effective ac- lion, during the past five years

THE ASSESSORS AND TAXES.

There is a lesson for taxpayers in the experience of ex-President Taft with the assessors at New Haven where his automobile for which he paid S2, 900 has been placed in the list for S4,500 and an addition of ten per cent. made for failure to carry in his list within the specified time. His tax has thus been more than doubled from what is the proper basis of assessment. This is a case where the fault lies with the property owner. There are stipu- lated requirements of taxpayers con- corning their taxable property These are necessary for the information of the assessors who must have a basis for action in the making up of the property lists, and at the same time they provide the opportunity for the owners to make declaration of their own valuation.
 It is therefore not strange that the assessors rated the automobile as a new one and placed it in the list as such The information which should have guided them was missing, and while he has recourse to the board of relief for a reduction which, when the facts are revealed will undoubtedly be made, it shows the necessity of keeping the assessors in touch with the facts rather than allowing them to grope about unaided.
 It is a noticeable fact, however in connection with automobile assessment in New Haven that it is a substantial rather than nominal amount on which taxes are paid. Too often are the instances where the owner of a s2,0G0 piece of property pays 8 much larger tax than the owner of a $2,000 automobile.

Mrs. Gardner Tells How to Restore
 One's Strength.
 So many people are asking how to recover their strength after severe sickness that we are publishing this information for their benefit.
 After grippe, pleurisy, pneumonia or any illness what you need is new strength and better blood.
 The most certain way to get this is by taking NinOl, our delicious cod liver and iron preparation
 Mrs. M. T. Gardner, Chicago, H., says: After a very serious opera ton l was q total invalid for nearly a year and conValescent for months thereafter l gave the remedies of a number of eminent specialists a thor ough trial. but without deriving the slightest benefit. NinOl was recom- mended. Without the least faith in the merits of the medicine, l took it faithfully, and it seemed to bring back the old color to my cheeks and the elasticity to my step which l had despaired of ever recovering. 1 can say, conscientiously, that for nervous, run down people, Ninol is an excel lent remedy"

eoETHALs AND eoReAs.

The recommendations which have been made by Secretary Garrison con- corning the government of the canal zone and the retaining in the govern ment's service of those two officials who by their work stand out so prom inently in connection with the stupen- dous task of constructing the canal. should not fail of adoption. It is but a proper recognition of the masterly manner in which they have discharged their duty that Col. Goethals should be made the first governor of the zone with full powers to administer the wa terway with which he has been so closely identified, and that Col. Gorgas for the important part which he played in overcoming the unhealthful cOndi- tions of that former pesthole should be honored by appointment as sur geon general
 Col Goethais has been too closely identified with the canal to have the country lose his services at this inn portaEt stage of the project. He is in position to continue to render the same high. grade of service as 1n the past and the task of governor re quires that the first holder of the of fee should possess the valuable in formation concerning that section which is in the possession of the col oneI. He has given his best efforts to the canal and it has been a, success ful undertaking. The same will re- suit from placing him at the head of the canal government. The services which have been rendered by these two officials is the kind which should be maintained whenever possible. partic- ularly when there is a chance for them to do for government as much as they have done for science.

THE CANADIAN NAVY

In the statement by the Canadian government that the proposition to ap- proprate thirty-five million for the navy in compliance with the request of Great Britain has been temporarily abandoned there is indicated a desire to refrain from such precedent just as long s possible. Just so long as Canada is not obliged to depend upon its own navy for protection it has many ways in which it can spend the many millions, which would be re- quired for such an outlay, for better rfGults. When the suggestion was made that Canada provide for the construction of three dreadnoughts the td 2 that they should be turned over fa Great Britain met with opposition,

Architects in France.

It is unusual for a house, however small. to be erected in France with- out the service of an architect, who not only draws the plans but actually superintends the work. Usually it is he who orders the building material and assures himself that it's quality is up to the speciaficatiOns and require ments. The contractor and his work men perform their duties i'll conform ity with the architects orders, and the latter, who is usually man with cap ital, advances the funds required in order that the contractor need not wait for payment until the building is completed. Moreover the French law imposes on the architect q seri- ous responsibility, since he, as well as the contractor is responsible for all defects of construction during d period of ten years.

Then take a sprig of parsley cut off the foli- age and with the large stem standing up and each of the three branching stems at the ends stuck in a butter ball, the effect produced is a luscious bunch of cherries.

FAT ON BROTH.

To remove the fat from broth or soup it is not necessary to allow it to become cold as is usually done, In stead place a fine wire sieve on ice until it is thoroughly cooled. and pour the liquid through this. If the liquid is partially cooled the fat will solidify on the cold wire and the broth will be ready for immediate use.
