THE BEST sEEcTloN.

When it comes to making a choice as to which faction should be recog- aized as the de facto government in Mexico, and. the representatives of the Pan American governments have in- dicated for some time that they feel that the time is ripe, there can be 10 question but what Carranza stands pad and shoulders above the others. Ten though in his conduct there are some things which are not considered entirely satisfactory for government which must handle the problems which face it in Mexico.
 That .Carranza controls the great majority of the Mexican states has to be admitted. His power has been steadily growing despite the efforts of the other factions and to all appear ances he possesses the control which is required to bring about peaceful conditions and set in motion the re- forms which the country so greatly needs, and such being the ease 1t is time that a move was made by other countries to furnish the assista4ce which comes through Recognition.

NO LIvEs wERE LOST.

For a combination of speed and en- durance full honors go to the winner of the auto contest for the Astor cup. It showed great improvement in many respects over former races of similar character and not only did it demon strate the merits of various cars, but 1t showed that speed records are by no means unbreakable. They are smashed with as much ease appar- ently as in the days of the past and there is no telling when the new fg- ures will be surpassed. They are like- ly to be exceeded by the next speed way test.
 Auto racing is a sport which en- thuses the crowd because of the won- derful driving ability and control that is displayed and because of the pro- gress that is being made by manu lecturers in perfecting machines which arc capable of standing such treat. ment. Everything must be tuned tt the proper pitch, troubles which car be anticipated have to be carefully guarded against ard it is no meaI generalship that is required to get the best out of a. car every minute of suef long grueliing contest,
 A feature which stands out prom. inently in connection with this las auto race is the fact that it was TUT off without the loss of a life. No g. contestant or a spectators was kill ed or injured. which is another new record for such contests. It is an i'm provement which every lover of tn, sport as well as the public at larg, will thoroughly appreciate. Of tn, several new records this is by far th' hoc+

Raised and Spent a Million Plus.

Treasurer Frank H Wiggin. of the board has just announced the financial statement of the board for the year closing Aug. 3l. The current expend- itures were S1.1Oi. .202.9s. and the debt of a year ago was Ss.TsT.70. making a total of s1.1o9. gross. The receipts for the year. applicable for these liabilities were sI,I0I, ,565.47. which left a debt August s1, 1915. of ss.405-22. The re- ceipts were sufficient to meet the cur rent expenses of the year and to re- duce by sss2.4s the debt of a year ago.
 Despite the war and disturbed nn- anciai conditions the receipts of the American Board are thus the largest os any year in its history. a fact most gratifying since the openings on its fields. particularly in China and India. are unprecedented and since the trag- edy in Turkey adds new burdens to the boards work throughout that En- pIre. -..s---
 The eleven hundred thousand dol- lars spent during the year supported 63S missionaries in ten great lands and insured the uplSeep of schols. col leges. hospitals. industrial plants and oTphanages- numbering Altogether nearly two thousand institutions

9o assume the responsibility for claims resulting from the revolution. 1t re- mains for Carranza to make good fol- lowing formal recognition. That his government is selected for recogni- ton is not an indication of favoritism but the result of a full consideration of the merits and ability of the sev- eral factional leaders. Understanding the Mexieans it is not surprising that this will mean resentment by the others but the time has been reached when conditions should improve in that republic and having decided upon course which is fully justified the action of the several governments should mean an influence from without which will work in harmony with strengthened influence within for a quicker end to the revolution.

NOVEL cENTERPIEcE.

A simple and artistic centerpiece to put upon the dining table between meals may be made of cretonne.
 The size of the centerpiece depends somewhat upon the size of the table, but the usual 36-inch diameter of the stock size will be suitable for the average table.
 The centerpiece is made of two cir cles of the same diameter cut from the cretonne.
 If the paper in the room is plain, a fifured material repeating as its principal color the same as that on the walls will be in good taste. With a. patterned paper a plain cretonne should be used. After the circles are cut, the edges are turned slightly in all around and the two circles are sewed together on the edges with in- visible stitches
 To finish off, stitch on a lace edge oenterpieces can be made in this way to match any color scheme or to nt any table, by cutting the foundation pieces the same shape as the table.
 If the same cretonne is used for curtains, candle shades and uphoI- stery, very beautiful effects may be obtained in a room

TAKING TIMELY PREcAurIoN.

While the country is interestedly fol- lowing the organization of a new steel combination in which a. former head of the United States Steel corporation is prominently identified, announce ment is made by Attorney General Gregory that it will receive the closest scrutiny of the federal department of justice. This might be considered as the placing of obstacles in the way of the new corporation, which apparent ly has as much right to exist as the one already doing business, but on second thought now. would appear to be the right time for checking any movement for monopoly in violation of the antitrust law instead of wait ing until the harm has been done and then try to rectify it or force the combination to break up.
 This new consolidation of steel plants which also includes munitfon factories and which will undoubtedly be deeply involved in the manufacture Of war material for Europe has for its object a better control of the bus mess. It may have Just as good a right to exist as the present steel cor poration, which if reports are true will bo its only leader in the matter ot capitalization, but there are the in- tcrests of the country which must be protected and there is no time te do such work as in tho formative pc. rtoei.
