WATER FOR CHRISTENING.

WATER FOR CHRISTENING.
There seems to be some confusion
on the part of certain good people con-
corning the attitude of the w. c. T. U.
with regard to the christening of ships
with champagne. The Outlook said
editorially: The opposition of ex.
treme temperance advocates has al
ways been difficult to understand" 1t
contends that inasmuch as "a bottle
smashed on the bow of a battleship Is
one bottle that can never be drunk,
such an event ought to be regarded as
another blow to the consumption Of
liquor"
Miss Anna A. Gordon, president of
the National Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union, being asked to give the
white-ribboners' viewpoint, said: Our
friends, the 'nonextremists,' are taking
a narrow and superficial view Of the
question. They are losing sight of the
symbolism Of the rite itself. Consider
the root meaning of the word christen-
ing. One Of the dictionary definitions
of to christen is, to name, as a ship
by a ceremony likened to baptism AL
ways baptism in the Christian econ
omy has been with water. II in day.
gone by spirituous liquors were sup
posed to give long life and to bring
good luck, the revelations of science
have thoroughly exploded that theory.
Water is a symbol of life, alcohol a
symbol Of disease, destruction and
death, the enemy CT life and Of eff
cheney; hence the christening of any
ship with champagne is an absurdity
and an anachronism."

which is always worth while.

STOPPING TRAFFIC IN OPIUM
China Is Slowly but Surely Putting an
End to Vice That Threatened
National Existence.

China is slowly but lone the less
surely putting a stop to the traffic
In opium. The government has not
wavered or faltered for a single in
slant since 1t declared val on the
deadly drug, and the most gratifying
results have attended its efforts. I'm.
portations, which used to run up as
high as 10000, 900 pounds yearly, have
been constantly falling of, until in
1914 only 997,066 pounds were i'm
ported. The showing made Is remark.
able in view Of the fact that hundreds
of thousands, millions, without doubt,
Of Chinese are addicted to the use Of
opium.
Statistics of the trade show that
since 1863 opium worth approximate
ly $1,000, 900, 900 has been consumed in
China, and the men who have grown
rich in the unholy traffic have used
their money freely to continue its i'm
portation. They first tried to prevent
legislation, and then encouraged SNUG
Cling. All to nc purpose. The ruling
powers had made up their minds as
to the reason why China was so far
behind the rest Of the world and de-
termined to remove the Some
idea of the immense amount of work
to be done to bring about the total
extinction of the traffic is gained when
1t is stated that there are still 5S5
opium shops in the Shanghai interna-
tional settlement. Owing to the un-
relenting attitude of the Chinese gov
eminent, however, 1t is expected all
the Shanghai Joints" will be closed

CONCRETE IN THE BASEMENT
Fourlneh Slab rs Recommended by
Expert as Giving Best Possible
Resuits,

Over the entire floor area of the
basement a four-inch slab Of concrete
should be laid after the earth has been
firmly tamped down. This slab of con.
crete should be insisted upon, wether
the finished floor is to be of cement,
brick, tile, or wood; and 1t is well to
reinforce 1t against shrinkage,
stresses, and to bridge any soft places
in the ground, by %imbedding in the
concrete some form of coarse wire
mesh or expanded metal, says Ernest
I. Freese in the House Beautiful.
Where cement finish is desired, this
should be not less than three-quarters
of an inch in thickness, and it should
be applied before the concrete has be-
come "set"-otherwise the cement
finish will not properly unite with the
concrete base.
In rooms having a cement floor. the
cement can be carried up on the walls
to a height Of six or eight inches above
the floor, thus forming a waterproof
and sanitary base. Then, if the floor
Is slightly graded to a stump connect
ed with the underground drainage sys-
TEN, the floor can easily be kept clean
by turning the hose on 1t occasionally.
All cement floor finish should be
jointed at regular intervals, not ex.
ceeding three feet, so as to concen-
trate at these jointings any probable
shrinkage cracks. Here again. a sim
pie, inexpensive wire mesh imbedded
In the cement finish will react against
the shrinkage strains and lessen the
liability Of cracking. For this re-en'
forcement, common chicken-wire mesh
answers admirably.

LOOKING TO CIVIC BEAUTY
Builders Have Come to Recognize
Value of Good Appearance Of
Buildings and Streets.

Gradually all phases of commercial
industry are coming under the influ.
ence of the c%ity-beautiful movement,
comments the San Francisco Call. Fac.
tories erected today secure sufficient
ground area to have some landscape
gardening roundabout the building or
buildings. Even railroads, those sup.
posed "soulless corporations" are
now quite generally embellishing sta.
ton grounds and rights Of way. The
schoolhouses, both rural and city, are
being much improved in surrounds,
being much helped by the school gar
dens, and the whole land is becoming,
each year, more deeply e%ngrossed in
making a more beautiful America, and
California is well up in the list. Let
us not grow faint-hearted in the work.
