The One Model Day.

When you hear the opinions extended
Concerning grave matters of doubt,
And arguments long
Show a tendency strong
To go in about where they came out
When you read of the things recon-
mended
To remove every sorrow and pain
You regretfully sigh
For the Fourth Of July,
The day guaranteed safe and sane.
When the man who imprudently chat
tiers
Turns loose with volley of gulf
You shudder in fear
That the people who hear
VIII maybe put faith in the stun.
The words that he recklessly scatters
Make you wish that each day tina,
goes by
Could be made to appear
Like that holiday dear,
And be labeled the Fourth of July.

The PHILIPPINES,

The protest of the minority of the
House committee on insular affairs
against consideration of the Philippine
question at this time is well expressed
1t covers the case like a blanket. Why.
there is every reason to ask. when the
President has counseled extreme care
and moderation in public discussion Of
all questions with even a possible bear
ing on war matters should his friends in
Congress press this question, which has
intimately to de with conditions in the
far east where now there is touch of
war?
There seems warrant for the assertion
that before the European war broke out
the Philippine problem was not on the
democratic card for action at this session.
Had the Senate accepted the House trust
bills as received. adjournment would have
taken place weeks ago. The session was
prolonged. not to bring forward the Phil
ippine measure, but to remove the crudi-
ties the Senate had discovered in the
Houses treatment of the trust question.
Why then this urgency? Has the war
made it necessary that we fix date for
our retirement from the islands? Should
we put the European map-makers on
nOuCS tndl tflS f-liluPpiits mus Sooii bc
reckoned with on their own account. and
their independence respected? If issued,
what would such notice be worth?
As to increasing the power of the Fill
rinos in the conduct of their affairs at
a time when we are sorely perplexed in
conducting our own affairs under the new
conditions that have been thrust OF us.
the proposition seems full of danger We
are experienced. and the F'ilpinos mex
perienced. in the matter of government.
We are under obligation to guard their
interests in guarding our own. and shall
do SO. Our point of view takes them
into consideration. Their view does not
extend beyond the islands: and in dealing
with that limited phase of the subject
they might involve us, through their in
experience. in great trouble.
Recently. in advising against the Jones
bill, The Star said it would provoke par
tisan discussion. Senior Quezon. in reply,
asked as to why it should Here is the
reply to him. The House committee di-
vides on partisan lines. the democrats
voting for consideration of the measure,
the republicans against. Should the
measure be pressed in the House a like
spirit will be shown, and things may be
said on both sides with ill effect to US
as nation.
The independence of the Philippines is
in the future without date, as even many
democrats believe: and Chairman Jones
could not do better thing than, as The
Star advised him the other day, to hold
his horses.

Increased Mobility in War.
From the New York Sun.

Many new lessons will be learned from
the war in Europe. but the conflict is
forcibly reiterating one Of the oldest-to
wit, that mobility is one of the most inn
portant factors toward success. The
methods of acquiring mobility have
changed with every period in the worlds
history, but there has been no great al
teration in the manner of applying them.
To reach the striking spot swiftly. to
strike and to follow up the blow have
always been essentials of victory in war.
The defensive may be stone wall. but
its very immobility proves that it is the
defensive.

Street Safety Zones.
From the New York World.

The safety zones which it is proposed
to establish in the streets for the use and
protection of passengers waiting for or
alighting from cars should both add to
the security of pedestrians and facilitate
the movement of cars. The zones in
feet long and eight feet wide and desig-
mated by broad bands of white paint.
They will be first established. if the plain
is approved, on Broadway between Bath
and Add streets, and on 7th avenue In
Times Square. There is not the slightest
doubt that their usefulness will Justify
their installation anywhere at congested
points.

Artists p. Yeara Ano.

Man began to be an artist subse-
quent to the last ice age, which period
is roughly estimated at from $4,000 to
$4,000 years ago." said Prof. George
Grant MacCurdy at the University
Museum lecture the other afternoon.
AT least that is the time the funda-
mentals first appear. Therefore, man
was an artist before he was a maker
Of hieroglyphics. He produced objects
Of beauty before he tanned the wild
beasts.
The cave artist was practically
without an artistic background, but
climatic, faunal and other environ
ment played no important part in the
origin of troglodite art. The models
were game animals, and ran largely
to prof1les, for the cave artist had not
learned perspective, but he understood
motion. He made single figures, but
was long in acquiring composition"

TO PRoLONG LIFE OF PLANTS
Abundance Of Fresh Air Is the First
Necessity for Those Kept for
Indoor Adjournment.

Many persons are unsuccessful with
house plants because they do not give
them enough fresh air. The atmos-
phere of the ordinary living room is
both too dry and too warm for the av-
erage potted plant, and the room is
usually kept so tightly closed during
the cold months that the air is seldom
pure.
Plants of all SORTS whether they are
raised indoors or outside, must have
an abundance of fresh air. Two or
three times a day open some Of the
windows and allow new air to enter
the room. Lower one or two windows
an inch or mor every day when the
outside temperature is not very low.
On all mild days in winter throw open
all of the doors and windows. You
will be surprised at the difference it
will make in the yigor, color and
growth of the plants when they do
have all the good air they need. Good
air, good light, good soil and plenty of
moisture are the living requirements
of all plants.
Keep a box of rich earth in the
house for reporting plants during the
winter. Fresh earth added is always
beneficial to plant life. When pre-
pairing, heat the earth to kill worms.
If you want sturdy house plants give
them plant food. Ammonfated bone
meal is a good fertilizer for house
plants. Beware Of the fancy jardi-
Mere. 1t is responsible for many de-
cayed roots. All plants with shiny
surfaces can be washed with soapsuds
containing a little olive oil.
Instead Of carrying ported ferns
through winter after winter, 80 that
they get worn out, give them an oc-
casional rest. Cut them down close
and you will be surprised to see how
they will reward you in the spring by
leafing out with renewed vigor.
To keep a rubber plant in condition.
it must have plenty of earth, plenty of
water and a shower bath once a week.
When it has dried, after the bath, wipe
the leaves and sponge them with milk.
If your palm is infested with scales,
wash the leaves in a weak solution of
soapsuds. After several washings, at
intervals Of a few days apart, you will
find that the scales will disappear, the
! palm will look fresh and green, and
make a new growth. An occasional
bath of this sort will keep it in fine
condition.

~centerpiece insets.

It's rather an unusual but very pref
ty idea to have little flet lace or cluny
insets in centerpieces. Sometimes in
a whole large ~centerpiece there is but
one small diamond-shaped inset. 1t Is
usually placed where the embroidery
is most scarce. The diamonds are but
tonholed into the centerpiece. Some
times on a particularly large center
piece there are three insets about
equal distances apart and about an
inch or so from the edge, forming a
huge triangle. So far the uneven num-
bers Of one and three seem to be most
used, the two insets being considered
perhaps too commonplace and conven-
tional to be artistic. These insets can
be bought in. art needle-work stores.
If the c~enterpiece to be ornamented
with the insets has a cluny edging,
the insets themselves should, of
course, be of cluny.

NOT A MIRACLE
Just Plain Cause and Effe6A

There are some quite remarkable
things happening every day, which
seem almost miraculous.
Some persons would not believe thai
a man could suffer from coffee drink
ing so severely as to cause spells Of
Inconsistencies. And to find relief in
changing from coffee to Postum is
well worth recording
Il used to be a great coffee drinker,
so much SO that it was killing me by
inches. My heart became SO weak I
would fall and lie unconscious for an
hour at a time.
MY friends, and even the doctor,
told me it was drinking coffee that
caused the trouble. / would not be-
lieve it, and still drank coffee until /
could not leave my room.
Then my doctor, who drinks Pos
tum himself, persuaded me to stop cof-
fee and try Postum. After much hest
tation l concluded to try it. That was
eight months ago. Since then l have
had but few of those spells, none for
more than four months.
Il feel better, sleep better and am
better every way. I now drink moth
ing but Postum and touch no coffee.

my friends think the improvement

MAKING OVER OLD FRIENDS
Much Time Wasted in Effort to Do
What Probably No One Ever
Really Succeeded In.

make over my dearest friends" writes
David Grayson in the American Maya
zine. There was Harriet, for exam
pie, dear, serious, practical Harriet. /

forever trying to clip my wings
suppose to keep me close to the quiet
and friendly and unadventurous roost!
We come by such a long road, some
times, to the acceptance of our near
est friends for exactly what they are.
Because we are so fond of them
we try to make them over to suit
some curious ideal of perfection of
our own-until n day we suddenly
laugh aloud at our own absurdity
(knowing that they are probably try
ing as hard to reconstruct us as we
are to reconstruct themD and there
fore we try no more to change them.

REALLY A FORM OF SANDAL
Lace Top Shoes Highly Desirable Ac-
cessories Worn With Stockings
of a Different Shade.

Lace top shoes sound alluring, don't
they? They are really high shoes, cut
in every way like ordinary dress shoes
but the vamp is of colored satin,
the top Of linen lace, fitting as snugly
as a gaiter.
One pair, particularly pretty, showed
top and heel of cloth Of gold, with top
of Plauen lace. Sometimes colored
satin and lace colored to match is
seen, a combination that shows up
well when stockings Of a different
shade r worn beneath. One pair, a
little more extreme than the others,
has merely the toe part Of satin-the
heel of the stocking being allowed to
show through the meshes of the lace.
Here indeed we come back to the
sandal, since nothing could exceed
this lace shoe for transparency.
