DAY DECORATIONS.
BY Biddy Bye

The good ship Mayhower laden
with fruits makes a charming decor
alton for the Thanksgiving table.
Carve the hull of the ship from a
long pumpkin, erect a gilded mast
carrying a silken sail, line the hull
with green paper and fill it with fresh
fruits. Surround the ship with a sea
of green tissue paper shavings.
Boxes for favors are now shaped
like small roasted turkeys or chick
ems. Their appearance can be much
improved if they are placed on tiny
platters and decorated with parsley.
Chrysanthemums are the finest
flowers for the Thanksgiving table
Whatever the flower, yellow is the
best color to select. .
A small Indian camp arranged
with children's toys makes the table
decoration which children like best.
Funny little dolls made with nuts
for heads and corn husks for clothes
are always appreciated by adult
guests as well as children.
Crepe paper decoration especially
designed for the day are to be had by
those who have neither the time nor
the patience to execute an original
decorative scheme.

properly then the fact still remains
that the accused is guilty of negli-
gence either in depending entirely on
the engines to make. the landing safe
ly, or IN failing to recognize that
other precautions were necessary to
insure safe landing being made.
The responsibility was his to rec
ognize that this occasion required
special precautions; the responsibility
was his to know the special and UNI
usual precautions which were neces-
sary on this occasion to insure a safe
landing, and responsibility was his to
see that these precautions were
taken. In brief, the position of Lieut..
Barnes as commanding officer inn
posed upon him the responsibility to
land safely under unusual conditions.
Ii he failed to recognize that unusual
conditions presented themselves, or to
know what special precautions were
required, or through lack of fore
sight he failed to take them, then the
accused is guilty.

COST Of LIVING
SCARS IN EUROPE

Stockholm, Oct. 2S.-(Correspono-
ence of The Associated Press)-For-
tunes have been made in Sweden, as
IN the other neutral countries of Eu-
rope, as a result of the war, but the
pinch of war prices is beginning to
make itself keenly felt among the
middle and lower classes. This has
been evidenced this week by the fiji
ing of petitions for increases of pay
by representatives of the railway,
postal, telegraph and telephone en-
ployes of the kingdom. by the cry
employees Of Stockholm and of other
Swedish cities and by the Stockholm
school teachers and other bodies. A
special food commission in Gothen-
burg has decided to recommend to the
city council the granting of an appro-
priation of 100000 crowns to relieve
the distress of the lowest paid classes
in the city, and other cities have also
been considering the question.
DR.. Guichard, head of the stats
teal bureau Of Stockholm, reckons
that the two years of war have
brought an increase of at least so
per cent in the cost of living in stock
holm, in acceleration of niuvenrsas
which really set in twelve years ago.
~ soE -
ent:
"The budget for an ordinary mid
dle7class household has exhibited a
steady increase for all the necesaries
of life since the year 1904. This M
crease had amounted to 81 per cent
at the end last June In other
words, what this family could buy
for 670 crowns in 1904 cost Lilo
crowns three months ago, and since
then there has been a further in
crease"
House rents in Stockholm increased
1873 per cent from 1905 to 1910, 80
per cent from 1911 to 1914, and Is
per cent in the last two years. Fuei
prices, according to figures cited by
, the Stockholm teachers in their Pc
titlon, have more than doubled in the
last ten years, great part of the
increase having come into the war
yeasr.
With so much new wealth IN the
country, DR.. Guinchard, and other
sociologists believe the way is clear
ly indicated to help the less FORUM
ate. According to Municipal Coun-
cillor Dahlberg of Malno, this years
assessment lists very generally show
big increases of taxable properly,
running from 40 per cent up to as
much as 100 per cent. Gothenburg
Helsinghurg and Malno all show
! large increases. The figures fol
Stockholm are not yet unknown, but
it is believed that they will show ar
increase of at least % to 80 per cent
This, DR.. Guinchard points on,
would mean an increase in receipts
from municipal taxes of some 6,00U,.
900 crowns without raising the tas
rate, and would, even making allow
ances for the increased cost of run.

fund to relieve all distress.

Court Martial Sentences Local
Officer To Lose Three Numbers

Of particular interest in Pensa-
cola, where the destroyer Roe has
been stationed for some months, and
Lieutenant. Barnes, the commanding
officer has become well-known, is the
following notice of the decision of the
court martial, which presided in a
case involving slight mishap.
Lieut.. Barnes was charged with
culpable NEGLIGENCE, and a verdict of
acquittal, was revoked, sentencing
him to loss of three numbers. The
record of the proceedings was re-
turned to the, department with this
comment:
The attention of the court is invited
to Navy Regulations, 1913, R-2081,
and of which the court must take
judicial notice. The above regu1a-
tons make the commanding officer
responsible that all necessary pre-
cautions a. taken and he is, fur
thermore, chargeable with knowledge
of what those precautions are which
should be taken under various cir
cumstances; his responsibility for
professional knowledge and foresight
in avoiding collision applies at all
times, but is particularly obligatory
in case similar to this where the
Monaghan was in SUI a position as
to invite collision unless unusual
care and precautions were employed
in making the landing. If the court
considers that the accident was due
to a failure of the engines to back
