POINTS OF DIFFERENCE.

If the general public were given
to constructive thinking processes,
or to practical dlffcrentiations III
the transactions with which all are
supposed to be familiar, some en-
barrassng questions might be
asked. The public which is try
! ing to siit out the wheat from the
chaff in the charges, counter
charges, dcnials and super-dcnials
in this high cost Of living problem
the biggest in the country
might requisition the men sup
posed to know to show cause why
they should not submit bill Of
particulars.
It might be asked, for instance,
why the railroads are forced to
order embargocs East and West
on food shipments at a time when,
according to data from other
sources, the country is almost
naked of food supplies. If the
railroads are so chokcd up with
the movement Of farm products
there need not be a famine condi-
ton, but that, the food dealers and
spectators assure us, is the sltla-
ton. The slowest thinking mind
is apt to balk at accepting as con
elusive the dictum that there is
not enough foodstuffS in the
country when there is so much
that the railroads can not haul
wen the larger percentage of 1T.
And the public might ask
whether the food supply of
country is of no importance, Or
+ of any value, how much as com
cared to other commodities, the
allure to move which might be
temporarily inconvenicnt, but in
10 ease a threat at the very life of
The Nation. The public might 60
further and ask how lOng-if the
situation is permitted to romp
through to its own music and to
Is own cnd-the country will be
lble TO transport and otherwise
handle the less vital commodities
if the food is shut off by embar-
roes and prohibitive prices. But
The public, like charity, is long |
is not puffcd up, and
takes extortionate prices as it
takes its weather report.

Hotels Do Big Trade.

During the past week all the big
hotels hung up new records concern
ing sojourners and meals served. The
early winter crowd of buyers and the
shoppers has begun with the end oil
the autumn throngs which came here
for the Thanksgiving holidays and
the football games, and they prom
ise to keep hotels filled to capacity
until Christmas week-the week o.
home going and homecoming AS an
evidence Of the amount of food which
is being consumed in New York hotels
alone, figures compiled by the Nc
Alpin auditing department are inter
esting. During the last 10 months
moro than 100000 pounds of meal
have been consumed 100000 chick
ems have been eaten, 2l000O fish have
found their way to the tables, l07,-
600 dozen eggs have gone thither
and $4,000 quarts Of milk and cream
have been consumed There have
been about 100000 persons serve,
with meals at the hotel during thai
period.

no street indication on top of the

streets. The consequence is that a
stranger in street cars, particularly
at night, has no means of knowine

are frequently helpless also Other
avenues here of lesser importance
than Broadway have been cared for
why not New Yorks main artery?

Within the territory there is much of
interest to arrest and hold the at

for instance, there is a running track
for girls During the proper season
one section of the park is made over
into tiny garden plots about four by
eight feet in dimensions. There have
been more than 1000 of these little
plots at one time, and each one has
been placed in the care OF little boy
or girl who, under trained supervis-
ion, have been initiated into the my
steries of farm life on small scale.

Its Great Charm Lies In Its Exquisite
Color Effects.

us 1reat Iharm Lies In It's EXQUISITE
Color Effects.
There Is great charm about the
stone called Jade. which. from pre-
historic times. has been carved into
ornaments and implements. 1t is a
close grained, hard, massive substance,
showing peculiar luster on the cut
surfaces and pos essing II distinctive
color. usually some shade or blending
OF green or blue 1t is sufficiently rare
to prevent objects made OF it from be-
coming commonplace. being found only
in moderate quantities In certain parts
OF the world
China has always been famous for
its jade. and it is found also in Siberia
Turkestan, New Zealand, Egypt and
northwestern America. Another name
for it is uophri'c. from the Greek
word for kidney, an old belief being
that it hal curative powers over kid
ney diseases
Much OF tie charm OF jade objects
arises from the exceedingly rich and
variegated colors of the materials.
These colors are not glaring or con-
spicuous bnt subdned and beautifully
harmonious. and the artists in the fin
est specimens have taken advantage
Of the distribution Of the variouS tones
and tints to heightcn the effect of
their designs while bringing out the
contrasts of color.
Often the most exquisite effects are
produced by the varying shades Of
color running through the carved fig
ures. Among the colors characteristic
OF Jade and indcilc are emerald green,

shades are sometimes found distribute
