The first portrait painter Of the
United States to win general fame
was Thomas Sully, who was born 1872
years ago. One Of the first celebrated
American historical paintings, Wash
ington Crossing the Delaware" was
the product of his genius. Sully es-
tablished himself In Richmond as a
portrait painter in 1903, but soon
moved to New York, and in 1910 to
Philadelphia, which city was after
ward his home. In addition to Wash
ington Crossing the Delaware" his
famous historical paintings include
"The Capture Of Major Andre" and
Miranda" As a portrait painter his
most notable subjects we're Thomas
Jefferson, Lafayette, James Madison,
John Marshall, Fanny Kemble and
Queen Victoria. He visited England
to paint the girl queen in her corona
ton robes. Sully lived to an advanced
age, dying In Philadelphia in 1872.

Dry Curing Mixture

Dry-Curing Mixture
For 1000 pounds of meat
Fine clean salt, 40 lbs.
White or brown sugar, 10 lbs.
White or black pepper 40 lbs.
Red pepper. half pound
Mix thoroughly,
4 + 4
Rub each piece of meat thoroly
with the dry-curing mixture,
taking care to see that it pene-
trates the muscles around the
ends of the bones of the hams
and shoulders. Pile the meat
carefully with the skin down, in
a cool airy place, but avoid damp
musty cellars. Do not make the
pile more than three feet deep,
or let the meat stay more than
three days without another ap
plication of the mixture, but af-
ter the second application no
other need be applied for five or
six days.
A fourteen-pound ham should
be allowed to cure for three
weeks, or a day and a half for
each pound of its weight. After
this treatment, it should b e
thoroly cured. Only two-thirds
as much time need be allowed
for giving a mild cure to meat to
be used during the spring.
Wash each piece with warm
water and remove any extra cur
ing mixture. Wipe it dry and
hang up for smoking. When all
the meat is ready, smoke with
hickory, oak, apple, or in fact
any wood except that of the
pine family. About twenty-five
smudges make a good mild
smoke, but the taste of the user
should determine this. Country
cured meat may mould in damp
weather without any injury, but
it must be carefully wrapped OF
sacked to keep out the shippers

THE VOICE OF INDIA

So widespreading is the pending
readjustment of the imperial rela-
tions of nations that the Indian i'm
perial legislative council, sitting at
Simla, the summer capital, has
passed a resolution requesting that
India be admitted to the next coun-
Gil of the empire at London on an
equal footing with the other British
dominions.
When the war broke out the
enemies Of England were convinced
that the offensive power of the en-
pire would be greatly hampered by
the necessity of maintaining aug
mented forces on Asiatic soil for the
purpose of Guelling local insurrec-
tions if not general uprising.
The firing of the first gun at the
Belgian frontier, however, rallied
the Indian princes and their armies
to the flag of the empire. In return
for this demonstration of solidarity
with the rest Of the empire, the In
dians now demand a voice in i'm
perial affairs.
That this desire of the Indian SUBJ
jects will be received Hospitality in
London is indicated by the approval
given to the Simla resolution by
Lord Hardinge, viceroy of India. It
will be only in line with the British
policy which has produced the South
African result.

Of Pennsylvania.

Brig. Gen. Harry White, of Indiana,
Fa.. who has practically been chosen

sition. his comrades declare. to the fact

which resulted in the fourth election or

THE GREAT LOAN S MEANING

There is vastly wider significance
to the closing of the arrangements
Tor the great loan of America to the
Anglo-French governments than
may appear at first glance. The fact
that the United States, in such a
world crisis. is the one nation to
which the warning powers can turn
Tor such a vast accommodation, is
gratifying to American pride; but
the testimony that the United States
thus becomes the first economic and
financial power is really less import
ant than the fact that this Joint and
several obligation of the British and
French nations becomes the basis
Of an Observation-Disclosures of finan-
cial obligations that points straight
to the day when a federation of the
world will be possible.
When this war is over, France and
Britain and Russia will be bound to-
gether, not only by the sentimental
ties growing out of their long strug-
gle as allies, but by the financial
bonds that must survive long after a
peace shall have been made. France
and England make themselves both
jointly and individually responsible
for this loan. The S500,000,000 of
bonds that are to be issued will run
five years, and at the expiration of
that period will be paid in cash or,
at the option of the holder, may be
converted into Az per cent bonds to
run not less than fifteen nor more
than twenty-five years.
Thus there will be created the tie
of great common interest holding
the three countries closer together
than ever before. Russia, though not
directly party to this loan, will be
certain to derive important if indi-
rect benefits from it because she is
so closely involved in every interest
with her allies. Such cementings of
friendship and substantial interest
60 far to insure that nations will

EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

Announcements Of the opening Of
various educational institutions here
indicate the unusual and unsur-
passed opportunities afforded young
men and women in the National
Capital for improving their educa-
ton.
This city long has been the logi-
cal place for collegiate and gradu-
ate study. In addition it has many
schools dealing with all manner of
special subjects, from domestic sci
ence and technical education to art
courses. OF these facts many stu
dents outside Washington are
aware and, each year, they are COM
ing here in greater numbers to take
Of these opportunities.
Meanwhile many Washington
youth seem to overlook the chances
for self-improvement. Not merely
the ornamental in education is to be
had, but the bread-and-butter spe-
cialties, the modern sciences, such
as salesmanship and accounting,
business management, and business
chemistry, are to be had in Wash
ington at schools which have a rec
ognized standing in the educational
world.
The advertising of correspondence
courses, if it has done nothing else,
has pointed the way to many young
folk who found they could improve
their time in spare hours. Anyone
living in Washington wishing to in
crease his earning capacity or the
sum total Of his knowledge on any
given subject does not have to 60
out of the city to do it.

condition; it has been interpreted as
pi cot that Britain was systematic
ally keeping this country out Of a
fair chance to compete, under war
conditions, for new markets.
When, however. these restrictions
as to tin, and other very similar
ones as to wool and plumbago and
various other articles arc examined,
and the method of trade administra-
ton by the British authorities is
understood, it has to be conceded
tha; the conditions a-c more harsh
by far on paper than IN the apr:i-
cation. The real purp,-c has been
to insure that these highly ncces-
sary articles should not get to en-
emy countries. Once assured that
this will not happen, the allies au-
thorities have freely permitted ex-
port from this country Of articles
made from their materials.
The case Of wool is especially in
point. Something like half the raw
wool used ~in the United States
comes from British dominions. The
supply could be shut of entirely, SO
far as these sources are concerned,
if England and her dominions chose.
Instead, an arrangement has been
made by which wool is allowed to
move freely to this country, under .
good-faith agreement between the
British authorities and the organ
lied American manufacturers,
whereby it is pledged that the prod
uct Of this wool shall not be sent
to markets from which 1t would
reach the enemies Of England. Only
the most narrow-minded refusal to
recognize the facts and the prac.
tices Of war could deny the reason.
ableness and even the liberality OF
this arrangement. Under it, our
own trade statistics show that ouI
exports of woolen manufactures
have greatly increased since the wal
began; while even Of raw wool i'm.
ported from the British dominions
we re-exported seven million pounds
in the first six months Of the year
as compared to one million pounds
in the like period of the year before
the war. Wherein such facts help
to demonstrate q British interfer.
ence with American commerce il
difficult to understand.
Suppose Germany were today ir
command of the seas, devoting hel
energies to starving England, and
cutting her off from her allies and
from her colonial dominions. Where
would American commerce stand in
that case? Do the lessons Of the
William P. Frye, the Arabic, the
Lusitania, the Orduna, and the rest
Of them, suggest that Germany
would be tender Of the susceptible
