BEST THOUGHT OF AMERICA
Digest of the Magazines

rors of the battlefield, scientists are Btii at
work devislng improvements for every de-
tail of the soldiers equipment (5)
A new process for determining the durnz
btlity of cloth used in uniforms has recentle
been Invented. 1t was described IN re-
cent number Of the Zeitschrift fur Anee-
wandte Chemie (Journal OF Applied Chemis-
try) 1t has been found that while dvna-
mometer tests Of yarn for strength and
stretch are absolutely reliable they do not
always give correct idea of the wearing
quality of the fabric. This led various gov-
ernments to seek further test by a shaving
or scraping machine, the idea being that
this test would more nearly approximate the
results obtained in usage. The tests are
made in comparison with given type fabric,
and the quality of the cloth is estimated by
the number of revolutions before the cloth
tears The greatest difficulty was In the
manufacture of suitable rollers for the MAJ
chine. The best results have been obtained
with rollers having sharply cut grooves by
which the shaving was effected. Moreover.
specially prepared carborundum rollers were
employed which were found to remain In
tact even after four or five months use.

MATINEE MUSICAL CLUB
Concert This Week Was Held With Great Sue
cess at the Roosevelt.

The concert given this week at the Roose-
yelt by the Matinee Musical Club attracted so
many members and their friends that many
persons were turned away for lack OF accom-
mediation. The inadequscy of accommodations
for the rapidly growing organization was SO
manifest that there will doubtless be renewed
activity in the project OF the clubhouse. Fol-
lowing the concert there was reception.
The program was OF great interest, and there
was an especially warm welcome for the young
barytone, Piotr wizla. who is coming into great
prominence in the local musical world He
sang the prologue from "Pagliaeci" In costume
and later was heard In an aria from VerdIs
opera ''Nabucco" The singers were In ap-
proprats costume for the singing Of the arias
on the program, and there was charming
duet by Maud Hanson Petit and Marie G.
Loughney, with a selection from Madam But

rendition OF Yerdi-Llszt "Rigoletto" selection.
Emily Stokes Hagar, with the PolOnaise from

Of food supplies in Spain, which has resulted in
q number of food riots, is charged solely to
speculation. In 1914 the crops we're better
than in previous years, with an excess of
100000 tons of wheat over the crop of 1913,
but notwithstanding this prices have mounted
so high that the government has been forced to

price IS, Z
Wheat, cereals in general, potatoes, beans
and other products have been exported in great
quantities to France and England Numerous
French agents have bought beef and vegeta-
bles at prices above normal and Switzerland
alone last month bought for its army 81 ,O00, 900
worth of food products from Spain. All this
has caused natural crisis which, has been felt
severely In the provinces. 49, +. $500. ..-.
The high prices, added to the fact that work
in the factories is paralyzed il almost the whole

account have been begun in some provinces but
nevertheless it has not been possible to elimi-
nate the existing bad state of affairs.

licans were in power, call attention
to this fact: The late lamented Chief
Justice Hartwell at the time that Mr..
Justice Wilder resigned desired one
of the present Democratic justices ap-
pointed, placing his desire on the
ground of fitness, and on the ground
that at least one member of the court
should be a Democrat, and by letter
requested the then Republican govern
or to recommend to the then presi-
dent this Democrat for appointment to
succeed Mr.. Justice Wilder but his
suggestion was turned down cold, the
favor being exclusively for a Repub-
lican.
There are a number of men in Ho-
nolulu who saw and read that letter.
In closing, desire to point out that
If it be the desire of our honorable
lawmakers to keep Republican district
magistrates in office, as their petty
excuses for Senate Bill No. 1870 indi
cate, why place the power of appoint
ment in the hands of a Democratic
governor?
Yours truly,
