PLEADED FOR GREATER
MILITARY PREPARATION

MoHONK LAKE, N. Y. May 21.-Rear
Admiral c. NJ. Chester, retired, of
Brooklyn, veteran of three wars. to-
day aroused the intense enthusiasm of
the Lake Mohonk conference on inter
national arbitration by an appeal even
more martial than the previous speech
es delivered by representatives of the
army. Called upon to speak for the
navy. Admiral Chester pleaded for
greater military preparation. He said:
Theories now will not apply. We are
coming to q question Of practice. l

were averted only by the fact that the
navy was modified when trouble was
threatened with Spain in 1870 and with
Chile in 1892. Nothing else in the world
hut the mobilization Of the navy would
have prevented those wars.

24.OOO,Ooo home-Makers.

According to bulletin by Mrs. Iris
Prouty OLeary on Cooking as a
Training for Home-Making Vocational
Schools" issued by the United States
bureau of education, home-making out
ranks all other trades in the number of
persons employed, according to the
bulletin. OF the 31,000,000 females
over ten years of age in the United
States, 24.O00,0O0 are engaged in home
making. Mrs. O'Leary says: While
girls may enter other trades, the great
majority of women become at one time
or other home-makers. Wage-earning
for them is but temporary affair
which they will leave for permanent
position in their own homes"
The bulletin lays emphasis on the
fact that cooking is scientific process
and should be taught as such, especial
ly in the new vocational schools being
established.

USED OIL AS LIFE SAVER
British Governments Recognition Of
American Tanker's
Captain.

Another striking instance of the
value of oil as a life saver at sea was
recalled when the British government,
through the Liverpool marine depart
ment of the board of trade, present
ed Captain ]. B. Johnson, master Of
the steamship Lackawanna, and for
merly chief officer of the Narragan-
sett (both steamers belonging to the
Anglo-American Oil company, Limit
ed, with binocular glass in recog-
milton of his services while on the
Narragansett in assisting to rescue the
passengers and crew of the steam
ship Volturno, which was abandoned
in the North Atlantic in consequence
of fire, says the Pail Mall Gazette.
The steamship Narragansett first
received the S. o. S. from the Car
mania. Immediately on arrival at
the scene the former vessel pumped a
large quantity of oil on to the tremen-
dous seas, thereby smoothing the
troubled waters and greatly facilitat-
ing the task of rescue.
Various other presentations have
been made in this connection. Cap
tain Harwood of the Narragansett re-
ceived a piece of plate from the
board of trade, and gifts were made
to other members of the crew by the
same body.

Warship Names.

Two cruisers in the squadron, the
lion and the tiger, bear names of the
aggressive nature for which Mr.. Wins
ton Churchill has publicly expressed
his preference over names such as
Viola and Florizel, bestowed on two
of our destroyers, says the London
Chronicle. Animal names were at one
time far more common in the fleet
than they are now. Such names as
Ferret, Bloodhound, Kangaroo, Lynx,
Opossum and Vixen still figure in the
navy list; but we no longer have a
Buffalo, Bull, Bulldog, Crocodile, Bear,
Alligator or Black Dog. Many other of
the old aggressive names have also
vanished, and among them Bitter, Infer
nal, Fierce, Fireball and FirebTand.
Still, even in the past there were such
namby-pamby names as Blossom,
Handmade and Daisy, and when Sir
James Graham was at the admiralty
he allowed a ship to be christened af-
ter Helen Faucit-the only actress
ever honored in this way.

had their meetings. This was actually
called a rathskeller and Miss Ferris
had furnished it in modern Viennese

Austrian cafes she had seen. Why
not?" said Miss Ferris again when the
people looked surprised. 1T is a good

Since that time Miss Ferris has be-
come leading interior decorator, with
a suite Of six rooms, including a shop
where she has on sale all manner Of
furniture and lamps, draperies and
other wares used in interior decor
ating. She decorates not only parish
houses, but churches, office buildings,
club rooms, stores, town houses, and
country cottages and villas. One Of
her most recent achievements was in
decorating the home for the women
workers of the New York city mis-
sion.

Bismarck would probably have been
scornfuI of the temperance measures
taken in Russia and France in connec-
ton with the war. Mr.. Sidney Whit
man records a conversation in the
course of which Bismarck expressed
his admiration of the typical English
gentleman. but his fear that the class
was showing degeneracy by taking to
water drinking. He explained that he
did not claim any particular virtue for
alcohol itself. but it took strong men
to stand strong drink. Our old
"three-bottle men" were fine fellows,
and he feared that if English gentle
men were taking to water it was not
from love of sobriety, but because they
were no longer so sure of their
strength as they had been.

INDICATIONS Of
AN EARLY SPRING
Great Prosperity Ahead for
Western Canada.

The most recent advices from all
points in Western Canada report that
conditions are apparent for an early
spring Farmers are going over the
implements, getting their seeders
ready for operation, the plows in shape
for extended breaking, and there is a
general optimism. A great many new
settlers have already arrived, and the
reports from Canadian Government
agents in the United States point to
the fact that in few days there will
begin the usual emigration from va
rious of the Central and Western
states. From the Eastern states the
number of farmers going to Canada
will be greater than in any past year.
There has been fairly large snow
fall during the winter which will
greatly add to the precipitation of
last fall, which in the opinion of old
timers was in itself sufficient to in
sure good crop during the present
year.
There will be very little titled land
that will be without crop this year.
The authorities, though, are pleading
with the farmers to seed only such
land aShas had careful preparation, for
rich as is the soil of Western Canada,
it is no more fitted to produce good
crops uncultivated than Is that of any
other land anywhere else. There
have been accounts of failures in some
portions of the agricultural districts of
Western Canada, and also reports of
small yields in some districts. A good
deal of this is accounted for from the
fact that Notwithstanding the advice
Of men of experience, there are farm
ers who will persist in seeding land not
properly prepared. This may be done
this year, but those who cultivate on
reasonable and logical methods will
be certain Of a paying crop. There is
every reason to believe that the high
prices of all kinds of grain will con-
tinue.
With thousands and thousands Of
acres OF land waiting for the husband
man to bring it forth with a crop, it
is no wonder that Western Canada is
continuing to prove such an inviting
field for the agriculturist.
Seventy million dollars is a con-
seryative estimate of orders which
came to Canada as the direct result
Of the war. Governments of the al
lies have been placing large orders in
Canada and buying huge quantities of
supplies for cash.
The total value of exports to Eu.
rope from Canada has jumped about
Is per cent since the war started,
while in certain lines the increases
have been enormous.
Therefore the results of the demand
of the allies for war and other material
is beginning to be felt in the financial
life of the Dominion. There is marked
activity In many commercial lines, and
conditions are fast becoming normal.
Western Canada is receiving a rela-
tive benefit to the East.-Advertise

Quake.Proof Homes.

Can man protect himself against
earthquakes? Japan says yes, for of
recent years she has been applying the
results of seismology to the construc-
tion of bridges, embankments, tall
chimneys and suburban villas. Built
on anti-earthquake principles. these
new buildings have up to now detied
Japan's persistent one-a-minute efforts
to shake them down. Had the houses
of Avezzano been erected on the Jap
anese rules instead of on dry-building
principles it is likely that there would
have been as little loss of life as there
was in San Francisco, where the steel
built houses cracked in all directions,
but did not bury their inmates under
shapeless ruins.-London Chronicle

in alone in New York without all kinds
of capital and all kinds of backing.
She would have to furnish her office,
to buy equipment-stationery, sewing
machines and all the other parapherna-
liza of her trade. But Miss Ferris was
confident of her own ability and her
own judgment. She borrowed five
hundred dollars, took tiny office in a
first-class Office building in the New
York shopping center and waited to
make good. In the meantime she told
everyone she knew about her plans,
and kept up with the alumnae activi-
ties of her alma mater.
One of the first orders that came to
her was to decorate the home of Miss
Woolley. the president of Mount Hol-
yoke college. Not long afterward the
Collegiate Equal Suffrage league
opened a little shop in the shopping
center of New York and Miss Ferris,
who is an enthusiastic suffragist her.
self, offered to decorate the place free
provided the suffrage league would
consult her on all decorating schemes.
The league had taken a hopeless little
basement store. 1t was dark and
stuffy, but with thoughtful arrange
ment of yellow and brown and careful
ly arranged lights the little shop was
thoroughly transformed.
Soon Became Known.
There are many suffragists of wealth
and influence in New York and when
they came to the suffrage shop to buy
the latest book on the feminist move
ment, suffrage note paper, banners and
badges and other paraphernalia, they
were struck by the pleasing effect of
the shop. Later when they thought
of having their town or country homes
furnished or refurnished, they would
send for Amy Ferris. So the new dec.
orator became known.
Not long after this parish house
was under constrl ction in Hartford,
Conn, and when the authorities came
to buy the furnishings it occurred to
one who had seen some of Amy Fer
ris' work that she was just the person
whose advice they needed.
So Miss Ferris was sent for, and she
went to work to plan out a scheme.
AS usual. she drew up very specific
statement of what she purposed doing
before she started in her work. There
wasn't detail in the whole plan that
suggested that the building was in
tended for a church home. 1t was
just as comfortable and informal as
though it were private house
Surprised the Church Folk.
AS she showed her plans, some of
the authorities looked aghast. They
had associated parish house with
something dark and funereal. They
never thought c! having missionary
meeting and choir rehearsals and Sun
day school and prayer meetings in
such a comfortable-looking place. But
why not?" Miss Ferris asked, and she
had her way. Another thing that sur
prised some of the good parishioners
about the new parish house was the
