THE COST OF THE WAR.

Assuming $500, 600 men in arms,
Yves Guyot recently estimated the st
of the war, upon Balkan experience of
81. 90 day per man, at $22 600, 600 a
day. An earlier and less detailed esti-
mate fixed the cost at $4,000, 900 day.
Such estimates as M. Guyot's fail to
cover loss by crop waste, by destruc-
ton of property, by mobilization before
the war and in neutral countries Mate
rial damage in Belgium has already
reached $500, 600, 600; in France perhaps
twice as much. What it has been in
Galacia, Poland and East Prussia, and
may be later, who knows?
One year of the war upon daily esti-
mate midway between NJ. Guyot's and
the highest, say at $36, 900, 600 a day,
would cost more than eleven billions.
Material damage and indirect loss would
reach half as much; it is already
gigantic.
The entire estimated wealth of the
eight European nations at war is
$2Sl 600, 900, 600. The war could not
continue a second year without costing
them one-tenth of all their garnered
wealth of centuries; and neutral nations
a sum smaller but considerable. Upon
such showing a long war seems i'm
possible. New York World.

Auto Driver at Fault.

Jamaica, l.. l., October 3. -Coroner
Carl Vogel held several inquests yes
terday in the Jamaica Town Hall.
In the case of Samuel Molostowsky
and Bessie Zatulove of 9l4 East 10th
street, the Bronx, who lost their lives
when an auto in which they rode
crashed through the gates of the Long
Island Railroad crossing at Hemstead
Turnpike, Village of Queens, and was
struck by train, on July 5, the jury
decided that Molostowsky, who drove
the i'll fated car was himself to blame.
The jury declared it as its opinion that
Molostowsky drove carelessly along the
roadway and ran through the gates.
Molostowsky was killed instantly, and
the woman died several hours later in
Jamaica hospital. Another woman.
who was passenger in the car, is still
in Jamaica Hospital, seriously injured.

Estimates that the war is costing
Germany So, 900, 600 day may be taken
to refer only to running expenses and
not to the indirect losses. On this basis
there seems no reason to doubt the
estimates made when the war began,
that it would in one war or another cost
Europe from $40, 600, 900 to $50, 900, 600

POTATOES AS FOOD.

Was Thought Fit to Eat

Was Thought Fit to Eat.
When potatoes were first used for
food it was the seed" or apple" thar
was used. and il was some time before
the tuber was found to be the most
delicious food. Up to the end of the
seventeenth century the potato was
out OF the reach OF people of moderate
incomes. 1t is recorded that in 1862
potatoes were sold at | shilling t25
centsI pound in the London markets,
but the sale was small because so
many people believed that the potato
caused leprosy and fever. Others de.
clared that they were endangerine
their souls il they ate the potato. since
the tuber was not mentioned in the
Bible
The late Duke of Argyll in his his
tory of Scotland says that little or
nothing was known of the potato in
Scotland until long past the middle OF
the eighteenth century. The Duchess
of Buccleuch. in her Household Book"
for the year 1901. speaks OF the potato
as IAN escuent of great rarity"
Hugh Miller. in his Schools and
Schoolmasters." says that his mater
nal grandfather about the year l740
used to bring home in his pocket some
three or four potatoes as great rarities
grown by the gentry. for he was a
friend of the head gardener at Balna-
gown castle Thomas Carlyle tells MS
that his father got possession of four
potatoes and knew so little about them
that he hid them away for a possible
time of want and that potatoes were
saved TO be eaten at Halloween There
is no doubt that the Irish were the first
people TO recognize the value of the
potato as staple article of food -

AMERICANS PRAY FOR PEACE.

AMERICANS PRAY FOR PEACE.
Washington, Oct. 5.-Prayers for
peace in Europe arose from all parts of
the United States Sunday. in accord
ance with President Wilson's proclama-
ton. Clergymen of all denominations
read the President proclamation, it.
self fervent peace prayer, and congre-
cations gathered to sing peace hymns
and take part in peace services.
The President himself attended the
Central Presbyterian church here and
heard the Rev. James H. Taylor pray
that the United States might be in
strumental in restoring peace to Europe
and that Mr.. Wilson might be given
wisdom and strength in his mediation
proposals. The President was accom-
panied by Secretary McAdoo and Mrs.
McAdoo and several White House
guests.
In New York hope that the European
war will be the last object lesson of the
horrors of strife and that after it all
the efforts of man will be devoted to
production rather than destruction, was
expressed by Secretary of State Bryan
and Oscar 5. Straus, former secretary
of commerce and labor, at the special
peace day service held at Carnegie hall.
Cardinal Farley, making his first pub
lie appearance at St. Patrick's cathe
dral since his return from Rome, said
that if Europe had needed Pope Plus X,
the war would never have started.
1.-The Pope he said, died amid the
sounds of battle of the nations of
Europe praying for peace, his heart
broken by the thought of strife in this
civilized age. Had these European
countries looked to him for advice, this
carnage would not have occurred. Let
us hope, however, that God in His
mercy will answer the prayers of the
whole world and grant universal peace. "
Chicagoans visited the churches in
record numbers and prayed for worlds
peace. Descendants of Europe's war
ring nations knelt everywhere together
with the sons and daughters of their
country's enemies and offered heartfelt
protests against the further destruction
of human life in Europe.
At public meeting at which Govern
or Dunno, Bishops Falows and Ander-
son and Miss Jane Adams We're the
chief speakers, Nine. Schumann- Heink
sang.
Churches of all denominations in Phil
adelphia were crowded and prayers were
offered for peace in Europe.
a special meeting was held in indie
pendence square, where rabbi, Pro-
testS MT minister and a Catholic priest
held united exercises for the boy scouts
of Philadelphia who crowded the square.
President Wilson's call for prayers
for peace was largely observed on the
Pacific coast and in the northwest. More
than fifteen thousand persons attended
services at the Panama Exposition
grounds at San Francisco.
Church congregations as large as
those attending Christian services
prayed for world peace in Boston.

STILL WE USE BEADS.

DEADS have most tenacious hold on
- the modern imagination. Is it that
they hold our Imagination inthralled? Is
1t because beads are suggestive of luxury
of splendor, that we like them?
Perhaps it is relic of our Indian pred
ecessors-but that cannot be the eXpla-
nation, for Paris seems to like beads as
well as we do. However. nobody seems
to know whether the Indians would bar
ter their most priced possessions for
beads, because they liked the beads
themselves, for their brightness and color,
or because to them, too, beads suggested
splendor and luxury.
The Indians, be it remembered, were
and are a people Of imagination.
Whatever the reason, we do cling to
our fondness for beads long after we have
forgotten some of the things that inter
eSted US at the time the present craze
for beads came in.
Beaded tunicS are shown on many of
the new evening frocks. Sometimes the
beads are sewed on net and sometimes
they are simply strung on silk and form
ed into long tunics.
Beads are worn about the neck. And
beads are embroidered on the neck line
of chiffon and net evening frocks.
A new model by Drecoll Is made Of
black taffeta and chiffon. The sleeves are
long and floating, like the old "angel
sleeves; they are made of chiffon and
bright red beads are fastened along the
edge. A double line of beads outlines the
V-shaped neck and round designs worked
in heads are used on the bodice and the
peplum.-

particularly in the back, some having a
slight flare. If belts are used they are
loose and do not draw In the jacket,
usually appearing little below the
waist line The sash finish. either on the
skirt or on the coat, Is considered very
smart. Belero Jackets are cut almost
square or with flare that makes them
stand well off from the figure.
Plain Jackets are worn with striped or
plaid skirts and vice versa Rolling col
lars made of lawn are popular, worn over
a collar of the suit material, that can be
removed and laundered. The Innings of
coats usually trim the collar and cuffs.
The loose fit makes it possible to see the
Innings. Novelty silks. printed crepes and
modern art colorings in stripes and
checks are used.
The cape is the newest idea in outer
garments. 1t appears in various lengths,
from short cape reaching to the waist
line, to the one that envelopS almost the
entire dress. The cape coat Is also smart.
For everyday wear fancy Worsteds in
plaids and novelty materials are used.
The new cotton velvet in bright shades
is used for capes and cape wraps.
These capes are also made of silks of
all kinds. The lining is usually of chill
fon, crepe de chine, taffeta in dainty
pompadour designs, or smart stripes, or
printed effects in Chinese or new arts
patterns Some of the dressier capes
are finished off with a ruching of the
same material, or with one or two
| flounces- The favorite collar is the
| medici. normandy, or the hood.
Skirts flare at the hips. The hem is
tight. and the widening at the hips is
attained by ruff1es, f1ounces, draperieS,
puf1ings, or any other means. The tight
ness at the knees Is relieved by a new
| l4are at the ankles on some skirts. Sepa-
rate skirts are frequently trimmed with
| stripes or plaids, or the tunic is of a
| fancy material and the underskirt OF
a plain fabric, and vice versa. Some
, times only the belt or the girdle is of
| the plaid, or of the Roman stripe. Cot
| ton skirts are in corded effects, piaues
| linens, crepes and novelty cottons While
| some of these skirts are made in pannier
| effect, or with the new hustle back OF
minaret tllnic, the majority are more

worn with one of the dainty starched
